Cricket is a bat-and-ball game that is played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre; 66-foot) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these swaps. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally.

The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), while the sport is governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Internationally cricket is played in three fromats: Test cricket, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I). Domestic-level cricket is also played in three similar formats: First-class cricket (FC), List A cricket (LA) and Twenty20 (T20). The most successful side playing international cricket are Australia, who have won ten men's ICC trophies and fourteen women's ICC trophies, including six men's ODI World Cups as well as seven women's ODI World Cups and seven women's T20 World Cups.
