Hand Cricket
About Hand Cricket
Relive the playground classic where quick wits beat quick reflexes. Duel the computer in a battle of guesses, racking up runs when you dodge and striking out batters when you read their mind. Simple buttons, pure strategy, endless rivalry.
Outscore the computer across two innings by picking numbers that dodge the opponent's guess while batting, and matching their pick while bowling.
How to play
- Tap Play and call the coin toss to decide batting order.
- When batting, tap a number button each ball—score that many runs if the computer picks differently, or get out if the numbers match.
- Watch the scoreboard; your innings ends on the first out or when all balls are bowled.
- Switch roles and bowl by picking numbers—match the computer's choice to dismiss it.
- After both innings, the higher score claims victory.

Questions
Is there any way to know what number the computer will pick?
No—the computer's choice is random each ball, so trust your instincts and vary your picks to stay unpredictable.
What happens if both innings end in a tie?
A Super Over is played: each side faces three balls, and the higher Super Over score wins.
Is Hand Cricket free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser on phone, tablet or PC, with nothing to download.
