What it is
Hath Cricket is hand cricket, played in school corridors and on bus rides everywhere cricket is loved. You need no bat and no ball, only your fingers. On every ball, the batter and the bowler both show a number from 1 to 6 at the same moment. If the numbers are different, the batter scores their number. If they are the same, the batter is out.
It is a game of guessing what the other player will do next. The computer players watch your habits, so mixing up your numbers matters. Play a quick one-over match or a five-over game with three wickets.

How to play
Toss
Call odd or even, and both show a number. If the total is odd and you called odd, you win the toss and choose to bat or bowl.
Bat or bowl
On each ball, pick a number from 1 to 6. The other side picks too, and both are shown together.
Runs or out
Different numbers: the batter scores their number. The same number: OUT.
Chase the target
After the overs or the wickets run out, the other side bats and chases your score plus one.
Good to know
Three computer players
Chintu (easy) shows any number. Bunty (normal) mixes it up and loves the big numbers. Captain Kaka (hard) learns your habits, so don’t keep showing six!
Gully Cup
Beat Bunty in the semi-final, then Captain Kaka in the final, to lift the cup.
Two players
Pass one phone and pick in turn (no peeking), or play online, each on your own phone. Picks are sealed so neither side can see the other’s number early.
