PinBall Cricket 5.0

The excitement of a fast-paced cricket game is now available in an innovative pinball format, set against a cricket field backdrop with cricket-style scoring.

The gameplay is designed to be accessible, featuring simple controls that require just two touches or key presses. The primary goal is to reach the Target Score established at the beginning of each match.

The Target Score can be achieved by scoring runs within a designated number of balls, depending on the selected game format. Players will have their skills tested as they direct balls in the playing area to accumulate runs.

How to Play:

1. Beginner Level:
   • Select Game Format:
     • T20 (Twenty20 Internationals / League): a game played over 120 balls.
     • ODI (One Day Internationals): a game played over 300 balls.
2. Gameplay:
   • You start with 10 wickets in hand to score the Target runs using either Left or Right bats.
   • The ball is delivered at random speeds (fast, medium, or slow) from three different points on the field.
   • Use the Left and Right Arrow keys or Buttons to move the respective bats and hit the ball to score runs.
   • Timing is crucial; aim to time your hits accurately for maximum score potential with each ball.
   • The scoreboard updates with details at every stage of the game.
3. Scoring Runs:
   • Scores are calculated as follows: 0 (dot), 1, 2, 4, or 6 runs based on where the ball hits on the field.
   • Runs from each ball contribute to achieving the target.
   • After each delivery, the count of balls decreases when balls hit fielders' positions.
   • A no-ball strikes the Free Hit zone, awarding an extra run.
4. Power Play:
   • During the first 36 balls in T20, specific positions yield double runs to enhance scores.
   • In ODI, this applies for the initial 60 balls similarly.
   • Upon exhausting PowerPlay deliveries, scoring returns to normal values: 0s, 1s, 2s, 4s, and 6s.
5. Losing Wickets:
   • If a ball hits the stumps, this results in being "Bowled," costing one wicket.
   • A ball that lands in the red zone leads to being "Caught," resulting in another lost wicket.
   • The match concludes when all 10 wickets are lost.
6. Result:
If you meet the Target Score without losing all wickets and use fewer balls than allotted based on your selected format... you win!
7. Advanced Level:
Following each victory, a new Target Score is established. Players must then strive to achieve this updated goal within the same number of balls dictated by game format. Set Your Own Challenge: If you achieve high scores of 180 in T20 or 250 in ODI for the first time... You will face AI-generated targets in subsequent games. Be attentive for Power Surge 4s towards end-innings in both formats. Star Tip: Selecting 'T20' or 'ODI' presents revised targets to chase. Choose a game that provides an optimal challenge for you. Create Your Own Team: You can create up to 8 teams using available slots. Select teams from a list of options and edit team members’ names as needed, comprising eleven players per team. This allows for strategic gameplay where these players will chase the target score. The Team Scorecard showcases individual player performances, including runs scored and fall of wickets throughout the game. Track Career Statistics: Monitor personal milestones when a batsman surpasses scores of 50 or 100 runs. Accumulate total career runs throughout various matches. Your winning percentage is recorded with each successful game for added motivation. High Scores: Your high scores are tracked for each format and displayed on the main screen table reflecting overall achievements in scoring. Now that you're familiar with the gameplay mechanics... prepare for an engaging experience ahead!
