What is a "wicket"?
A wicket is a set of three wooden stumps placed in the ground, used in the game of cricket. It is located behind the batter, with two small pieces of wood called bails resting on top of the stumps. The wicket serves as the target for the bowler, who tries to hit the stumps with the ball to get the batter out. The batter's goal is to defend the wicket by hitting the ball and preventing it from striking the stumps.
Example
The batsman defended the wicket from the fast ball.
The bowler aimed at the wicket to try and get the batsman out.
