An umpire conducts the game. Two bowlers and two batsmen take their post near the wickets. Each bowler tries to hit the opposite wickets with the ball. The batsmen do their best to stop the ball .if one of them hits the ball off, he runs to the wickets opposite to him and the other batsman runs to his opposite wickets. They go on running until the ball reaches the bowler. The fielder of the opposite team runs to the ball as swiftly as they can and send the ball to the bowler.
