A cricket match is played between two teams of 11 players each. Before the sport commences, a coin is tossed and the team captain who win the toss decides whether to ball or bat first. On field there are two umpires who keep a check that game is played within the rules and regulations. There is also a third umpire who makes decisions by seeing the video of match.
There are such cricket lovers who even made their franchise. They select players from different countries to make a team of their own. This induces coalition of different cultures.

Truly, Cricket World Cup brought union of cultures.
