cricket match

Wickets and overs

A cricket match is a game of cricket between two teams.

Matches range from informal pickup games to international test matches lasting up to five days.

The term appears in contexts where Americans might say "baseball game": We're going to watch the cricket match this afternoon.

In British and Commonwealth usage, match is the standard word for a scheduled sporting contest.
