How Pakistani pitches play in the game
Howzat Live is made by a Pakistani team. Set your home ground to Pakistan and the pitch plays like Lahore or Karachi in the afternoon: the spinners turn it, the ball keeps low, and the quicks have to find swing rather than bounce. Bring the street-cricket instincts - the late cut, the flick off the pads, the yorker at the death - because they all work here.
The home ground you choose decides the surface. Pakistan is a turning track - spinners grip, the ball keeps low, and sweeping is a skill worth having. Play away in another country and the pitch changes with it, so a side built for Gaddafi Stadium has to think again at the MCG or at Galle.
PSL cricket game? Here is the honest answer
People in Pakistan search for “psl cricket game” a lot, so to be clear: Howzat Live has no licence from the Pakistan Super League and uses no franchise names or player likenesses. What you get instead is your own team. Name all eleven, decide who bats left-handed, who bowls pace and who bowls spin, who keeps wicket, and send them out in Pakistan’s colours. Your names go on the scoreboard, the scorecard and the commentary line — c †Rashid b Waqar — and you can save up to twelve teams.
Live, against a real person
One bats, one bowls, the server times every ball so you both see the same delivery. Talk between overs. Quick Match pairs you in seconds.
Laptop, PC or phone
Keyboard on a laptop; swipe and tap on a phone turned sideways. A phone player and a laptop player can face each other in the same match.
T20-length or a full Test
Five, ten or twenty overs a side for a quick game. Or a four-innings Test with declarations, the follow-on, DRS and a save you can come back to days later.
Your flag walks out with you
Pick Pakistan — or any of 200+ countries — at sign-up. It sits beside your name on the scoreboard and in chat, and your rating climbs the Scale from 0 to 10.
When Pakistani players are online
Pakistani evenings are prime time in the lobby, with Indian, Bangladeshi and Gulf players online at the same hours. If nobody is free, play the computer: it picks its own field, bowls to a plan, and on a turning deck leans on its spinners.
How to start playing the cricket game in Pakistan
- Create a free account — a username, a password and Pakistan as your country.
- Build your XI in Pakistan’s kit, or use the ready-made side and get straight in.
- Open the lobby and hit Quick Match, or start a Test against the computer.
- Bat or bowl. Bowling is line, length and pace; batting is timing and direction. Five matches earns your first Scale badge.
Questions Pakistani players ask
Can I play as Pakistan in this cricket game?
Yes. Pick the Pakistan kit, name all eleven of your own players, and set Pakistan as your home ground so the surface turns. Your flag sits beside your name on the scoreboard and in the chat.
Is this a PSL cricket game?
No. Howzat Live has no PSL licence and no franchise names. It is a free 3D cricket game where you build your own team in Pakistan green and play live against real people - or the computer - in T20-length matches or a full Test.
Is the cricket game free in Pakistan and does it work on a cheap phone?
It is free, with no download and no payment. The 3D game runs in the phone's browser and drops its graphics quality automatically on slower phones so it keeps playing smoothly.
Is Howzat Live a live cricket game?
Yes - live in the sense that matters for a game: every 1v1 match is played in real time against another person, one batting and one bowling, with the server timing each ball so you both see the same delivery at the same moment. It is not a live-scores site; it is a cricket game you play.
Is this a real 3D cricket game, not a stick-cricket style one?
It is a full 3D cricket game: a bowler with a run-up, a ball that swings, seams or turns off the pitch, a batter you time and direct, eleven fielders who chase, dive and take catches, DRS with ball tracking in Tests, and a crowd. It renders in the browser, so there is nothing to download.
The cricket game in other countries
Every one of these plays on its own kind of pitch. Pick a home ground, then go and play away.
