A cricket field is a large, oval-shaped area where the game of cricket is played. The field typically features a pitch in the center, which is a rectangular strip of ground where the bowler delivers the ball to the batsman. Surrounding the pitch are grassy areas known as the outfield, where fielders position themselves to catch or stop the ball. The dimensions of a cricket field can vary, but it usually has a boundary marked by a rope or painted line. The distance from the pitch to the boundary can range from 55 to 75 meters. The field is divided into different zones, including the infield and outfield, to help organize gameplay.
