In cricket, each team can lose a maximum of 10 wickets in one innings, because 11 players bat but the innings ends when 10 of them are dismissed and only one is left not out.

What “how many wickets” means

  • In terms of dismissals, there are 10 possible wickets per innings for a team, no matter the format (Test, ODI, T20).
  • Physically on the field, there are 6 stumps in total: two sets of three stumps (each set is also called a wicket) at either end of the pitch.

Quick Scoop

  • A team starts with 11 batters, but the innings is considered all out once 10 wickets have fallen.
  • The last remaining batter cannot continue alone, because batting must be done in pairs at the crease.
