Step 3: The Toss

Every match starts with a coin toss. The winner decides whether to bat or bowl first. Batting first means you set a target; bowling first means you chase it.

Step 4: Batting

When you're batting, you secretly select how many runs you want to score on each ball: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6. But there's a catch — high-value shots are limited per innings:

• 6 runs: Max 2 per innings
• 4 runs: Max 2 per innings
• 3 runs: Max 2 per innings
• 2 runs: Max 3 per innings
• 1 run: Max 3 per innings

Shot limits scale proportionally in longer formats (5, 10, and 20 overs).

If the bowler guesses the same number you picked — you're out. Manage your limited shots wisely and vary your patterns to stay unpredictable.

Step 5: Bowling

When you're bowling, your goal is to guess what number the batsman will pick. If you guess correctly, the batsman is out — that's a wicket. Study your opponent's patterns: are they using their 6s early? Are they playing it safe with 1s and 2s? Use psychology to predict their next move.

Step 6: Match Format

• Each innings is 2 overs (12 balls maximum)
• Each innings has 2 wickets — lose both and your innings ends early
• Both players bat and bowl in alternating innings
• The player with more runs at the end wins
• Matches take 2-3 minutes from start to finish

Tips for Beginners

• Vary your choices — if you always pick 6, your opponent will catch on
• Save your big shots — don't use all your 6s and 4s in the first few balls
• Read the bowler — pay attention to what numbers they've been guessing
• Practice against AI — single player mode is great for developing strategies
