Single wicket is a term that refers to a form of cricket where only two players are involved, and each takes turns to bat and bowl. The game is also known as double innings cricket or two-man cricket. There are no fielders in single wicket cricket, and the aim is to score as many runs as possible. Bowlers try to dismiss the batsmen by hitting the wicket. Synonyms for single wicket include pair cricket, two-handed cricket, double encounter, and two-a-side cricket. While this form of cricket is not as popular as other formats, it is still enjoyed by fans who appreciate the strategic and competitive nature of the game.
