How to play Cricket
Bowl to take wickets, bat to build a total — chase down or defend your total to win.
Both sides picking blind and revealing together turns every ball into a small guessing duel that can flip the innings instantly.
- As bowler, pick fast, spin, or yorker
- As batter, pick defend, drive, or big hit — both picks are hidden until the ball resolves
💡 Big hits against a yorker are the highest-risk, highest-reward combination — save them for when you genuinely need the runs.
💡 Mix defend and drive picks unpredictably against spin bowling so the bowler can't settle into reading your pattern.

No. Cricket runs entirely in your browser tab — no app install, no account, no email required. Pick a name and you're matched within seconds.
Is Cricket really free?
Completely free. Cricket costs nothing to play and never asks for a card — ads keep the servers running instead.
