Cricket is a widely popular sport known for its unique blend of strategy, skill, and tradition. Played between two teams of eleven players each, cricket involves batting, bowling, and fielding, with the main objective being to score more runs than the opposition. Matches can vary in format, ranging from the quick-paced Twenty20 and One Day Internationals (ODIs) to the extended and traditional Test matches, each offering different challenges and excitement.

A cricket pitch is the central strip of the cricket field where most of the action in a game of cricket occurs. It is a 22-yard-long and 10-foot-wide area that plays a crucial role in the game. The condition and characteristics of the pitch significantly impact the game, influencing how the ball behaves when bowled and how batsmen perform. A well-maintained pitch ensures a fair and exciting contest between bat and ball.
