At its most basic, in cricket two teams take it turn to bat and the team with the highest score wins.
There are two basic forms; limited over and limited time. Limited over games are usually played over a few hours with each team batting once; this format is played by both amateurs and professionals. Time limited games are usually professional games which are played over several days (between 4 or 5 in the UK) with each team batting twice.
