1. Dismissal

   In the sport of cricket, a dismissal occurs when the batsman is out. At this point a batsman must discontinue batting and leave the field permanently for the innings. A bowling team dismisses the entire batting team by dismissing 10 of the 11 players. As the players bat in pairs, when only one person is undismissed, it is not possible for them to bat any longer.
