Cricket Rivalry: Bangladesh vs Australia
Cricket is a popular sport played between two teams. In a One Day International (ODI) match, each team gets to bat for a set number of overs, usually 50. The team that scores the most runs wins! It's a fast-paced game that usually finishes in one day.
Understanding One Day International Cricket
An ODI is a type of limited overs cricket game. This means each team bats for a specific number of overs, which are sets of six balls bowled by one player. In ODIs, each team usually faces 50 overs. The goal is to score as many runs as possible while batting. The team that scores more runs than their opponent wins the match. ODIs are different from Test cricket, which can last for five days, and Twenty20 cricket, which is much shorter.
