cin input user for dynamic allocation of array of strings

Question

i'm new at this, learn c++, try to dynamic allocate a array of strings and input every string by the user. so at first, the user input the number of strings, and then put every string using cin>>

int main() {


    int numberOfTeams;
    char** Teams;

    cout << "Enter the number of teams " << endl;
    cin >> numberOfTeams;

    Teams = new char* [numberOfTeams] ;

    
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfTeams; i++) {
        
            cin >> Teams[i];
                
    }

    delete[] Teams;

    return 0;
}

the program throw me out after cin one string. the error i get is :

 Exception thrown: write access violation.
**_Str** was 0xCEDECEDF.

i cant use "string" veriable, only array of chars.

Something like this

const int MAX_STRING_SIZE = 1024;

int main() {


  int numberOfTeams;
  char** Teams;

  std::cout << "Enter the number of teams " << std::endl;
  std::cin >> numberOfTeams;

  Teams = new char*[numberOfTeams];
  for (int i = 0; i < numberOfTeams; i++) {
    Teams[i] = new char[MAX_STRING_SIZE];
    std::cin >> Teams[i];
  }
  for(int i = 0; i < numberOfTeams; ++i) {
    delete [] Teams[i];
  }
  delete [] Teams;

  return 0;
}
