How to play Cricket Batting Challenge
Bring your attention to one round of Cricket Batting Challenge. Score runs before twelve balls or three wickets. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Face twelve deliveries with up to three outs in a short batting challenge.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Score runs before twelve balls or three wickets. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- Bowl the next delivery.
- Watch the hitting zone.
- Time a swing.

Controls
Bowl and Swing, or Space/touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
Near-perfect timing earns six rather than a weak single. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
This is timing scoring, not full fielding simulation. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
