Game over with cut lifted (4)

I believe the answer is:

polo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game' is the definition.
(polo is a kind of game)

'over with cut lifted' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'with cut' becomes 'lop' (lopping is a kind of cutting. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'lifted' is a reversal indicator (going up in down clue).
'o'+'lop'='olop'
'olop' in reverse letter order is 'POLO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for polo that I've seen before include "Game played on horses or in water" , "Game played in chukkas" , "Game played on horseback wielding mallets" , "Venetian 19 to Asia, servant to Kublai Khan" , "Sweet" .)
