In cricket, an over consists of six balls. An over is a set of six consecutive legal deliveries bowled by a single player from one end of a cricket pitch to the other. After six balls have been bowled, the next over is bowled from the opposite end of the pitch by a different bowler. The bowler delivers the ball to the batsman, who tries to score runs by hitting the ball and running between the wickets. 

The fielding team tries to prevent the batsman from scoring runs and to get him out by catching the ball, hitting the wicket with the ball, or by running the batsman out. The game is played in a series of overs, with each team taking turns to bat and bowl.
