How do you win a cricket match?
In cricket, the aim is to score more runs than your opponent. Teams take turns batting and bowling. When batting, players score runs by hitting the ball and running between wickets. When bowling, the aim is to get the batting team 'out'. England won by scoring 89 more runs than Sri Lanka, despite being bowled out.
