Cricket is a team sport involving a bat and ball played between two teams of eleven players each. The objective is to score more runs than the opposing team. A match is divided into innings during which one team bats, two batsmen at a time, and the other team bowls.

Cricket originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the countries of the Commonwealth. In the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular participatory and spectator sport, and it is also a major sport in places such as England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bermuda and the English-speaking Caribbean (called the West Indies); it is played in over 100 countries.
