Play Wickets is a game that challenges players' knowledge of the game of cricket, which is popular in countries all over the world including Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Zimbabwe.

A One Day match refers to a limited overs cricket where each match is scheduled in a single day. The Twenty20 match is another limited overs cricket where matches much be completed within three hours. With these game formats in mind, the options for players are endless.

There are also 30,000 statistical records of cricketers' matches, innings, runs, batting average, batting strike rate, highest score, wickets, bowling average, best bowling, bowling strike rate, bowling economy, and catches.
