SETTING
Outdoor
MATERIALS
- A three-sided wooden bat
- A rubber-covered ball
- A single wicket stick
HOW TO PLAY
1
Split into two teams, which can be as large as the village wants to field since there is no fixed roster size.
2
The batting side sends one striker at a time to defend the single wicket using the three-sided bat.
3
The fielding side bowls toward the wicket while fielders spread across the whole open ground.
4
Batters score runs by striking the ball and running between marks, while fielders try to catch it or hit the wicket to dismiss them.
5
Work through the full batting order before the teams swap batting and fielding roles.
6
Keep chanting, dancing, and singing between plays, since celebrating good hits and fielding is part of the game.
