HOW TO PLAY
1
One team bats while the other spreads out across the field to defend.
2
A bowler delivers the ball underarm toward the batter, who strikes it with the three-sided bat and then runs between bases.
3
Fielders try to catch a struck ball in the air for an automatic out, or return it quickly to put runners out between bases.
4
Whole villages or extended family groups often bat and field together, with singing and cheering continuing throughout play.
5
Teams switch batting and fielding roles after an agreed number of outs, and the side with more runs when play ends wins.
