Soft Ball/Tension Net Indoor Cricket:

Experience the thrill of indoor cricket with soft balls and tension nets. Games consist of sixteen overs per side, with each pair batting for four overs and every player bowling two overs. Wickets result in a five-run deduction, and the non-striker’s crease is halfway down the wicket. It’s fast, fun, and open to all, with minimal kit requirements and no weather restrictions. Games typically last about 90 minutes and are enjoyed by both children and adults, with national leagues available for all.

Hard Ball Indoor Cricket:

For a more challenging experience, try hard ball indoor cricket. Matches involve twelve six-ball overs per side, with limitations on bowling overs per player and unique rules for wicket dismissals. Like its soft ball counterpart, there are no weather restrictions, making it a perfect way to maintain fitness and skill levels throughout the year. It can be played in any sufficiently large indoor facility, providing an exciting opportunity for cricket enthusiasts of all ages.
