Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport where the batting side tries to score as many runs as possible while the bowling side attempts to get batters out, also known as taking wickets, and restrict the flow or runs. The team with the highest number of runs wins a match. Should both teams be unable to complete their number of turns before the time allotted, the match is declared a draw. The bats used in cricket are constructed from high-grade willow and the balls are made of leather stitched onto a cork core.

Stanley Park had its grand opening in 1888, as Vancouver's first and largest urban park. The 400-hectare park is located in the midst of the urban landscape of Vancouver, with trails, beaches, wildlife, cultural and historical landmarks, and Canada's largest aquarium.
