What's a wicket? An out. Each team gets 10 per innings — "140/4" means 140 runs, 4 outs.
What's an over? Six legal balls from one bowler — like six pitches from the same pitcher before a mandatory change.
How do I read 145/3? 145 runs scored, 3 wickets (outs) lost.
What do a four and a six mean? Boundary on the full = 6 runs, cricket's home run. Bounces first = 4.
T20 vs ODI vs Test? T20: ~3 hours, 20 overs a side. ODI: one-day game, 50 overs a side. Test: up to 5 days, each side bats twice, draw possible.
How does a team win? Score more runs. Batting second you chase the target — pass it and you win; lose all 10 wickets or run out of overs first and they win.
