No bat. No ball. Just a number.

An online cricket game, played with your hands

Hand cricket brings the school lunch-break game to your browser. Pick a number, outguess the bowler, and see how far your innings goes.

New to hand cricket?

This is number-based cricket. You and your opponent each pick 1–6 on every ball. When the choices differ, the batter scores their number. When they match, it is a wicket.

You still have a toss, innings, a score and a target to chase. The contest is in choosing your next number, with hands revealing the result on a classroom chalkboard.
