The game starts with a toss, where one of the teams' bats and the other bowls. The aim of the batting team is to score high runs in the number of overs given while the bowling team aims to take wickets and restrict the batting team from scoring too many runs. Once an innings is complete, the tables are turned. The batting team bowls while the bowling team bats whereby the team batting second needs to cover up the runs scored by the team batting first.
