Cricket

Returning to the Olympics after 128 years in the T20 format, Cricket features two teams of 11 players batting one inning each, limited to 20 overs of 6 balls. Batters can score by running or by hitting boundaries, while bowlers attack with pace or spin and the wicket-keeper guards the stumps behind them. A tied match can go to a "Super Over," adding instant drama to one of the world's biggest sports.
