Cricket match is trial (4)
I believe the answer is:
test
This clue is a double definition.
'cricket match' is the first definition.
(a test is a kind of cricket match)
'is trial' is the second definition.
('test' can be a synonym of 'trial')
(Other definitions for test that I've seen before include "Try, examine critically" , "Dip one's toe in" , "Assay" , "See if you can" , "Trial; cricket match" .)
