What are the standard measurements of a cricket pitch?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 22 yards by 10 ft.
Cricket Pitch Length: The standard length of a cricket pitch is 22 yards (which is approximately 66 feet).
Cricket Pitch Width: The width of the pitch is standardized at 10 feet.
Why Not the Other Options:
- 20 yards by 12 ft or 20 yards by 10 ft: The pitch length is 22 yards, not 20 yards.
- 22 yards by 12 ft: Although the length is correct, the width is incorrect as it is 12 ft instead of the standard 10 ft.
Thus, the standard measurements of a cricket pitch are 22 yards in length and 10 ft in width.
