🏏 Cricket Batting Practice Nets 3D
Bat in a 3D stadium with wider timing windows, 5 wickets, and 18 balls to find your swing.
How to play
- Watch the ball approach and swing as it reaches the stumps. The six and four timing windows are wider here, more forgiving than the standard game.
- Pick your aim zone and Ground Shot or Lofted Shot before you swing. The field view shows this ball's fielders, yellow dots, so aim for a gap.
- A perfectly-timed lofted shot always clears for a six. Ground shots are the safer way to score while you're still learning.
- On a run, tap Run! (or press R) to attempt extra runs, but one too many risks a run-out.
- Pace, Yorker, and Spin all appear, each with its own wider practice-tier window. You get 5 wickets and 18 balls (3 overs).
- Survival Knock has no ball limit and one wicket ends your knock. Once landing sixes feels easy, the standard Cricket Batting is the real test.
Practice in a sunny 3D stadium
Cricket Batting Practice Nets 3D puts you behind the stumps on a sunny practice day, with the same full 3D stadium as Cricket Batting 3D. The bowler in orange runs in, the ball comes down the pitch with a shadow on the grass to help you judge its length, and every delivery reaches your bat at exactly the moment its timing window says it should. Pace bounces on a good length, yorkers land at your feet, and spin loops and turns, all with wider windows than the standard game.
The batter strides into each shot and the camera follows the ball: sixes sail into the stands, fours race to the rope, catches drop into a fielder's hands, and on a run both batters sprint between the wickets. After every shot a note tells you whether you were early or late and by how much, which makes this the best place to learn the timing before stepping up to the standard game. On very old devices without 3D graphics it switches to the classic 2D version automatically.
The same cricket scoring, built for practicing the timing
Cricket Batting Practice Nets runs on the same swing-timing engine as Cricket Batting, sixes, fours, quick runs, and wickets, but every window is wider and you get more room to work with: 5 wickets instead of 3, and 18 balls (a full 3 overs) instead of 12.
It's the same real scoring feel, just with enough forgiveness to actually land sixes and fours while you're still getting a sense of the pitch speed. Once this feels easy, the standard Cricket Batting tightens everything back up.

Aim your shot and beat the fielders, with room to learn
Practice Nets has the same aiming and fielding layer as the standard Cricket Batting, just with this tier's own wider windows underneath it. Before you swing, pick one of five aim zones and Ground Shot or Lofted Shot. A small field view shows this ball's fielders, with one or two zones always left as a gap, so you can start learning shot selection at the same time as the timing.
A perfectly-timed lofted shot always clears for a six. Ground shots are never caught and are the safest way to build confidence while a lofted shot into a fielder's zone can still be caught, even here. When a shot isn't a boundary or a wicket, tap Run! (or press R) to attempt extra runs before the window closes.
Pace, Yorker, and Spin all appear, each with wider timing windows than their standard-game counterparts, so you can get a feel for every ball type before facing the tighter version. Alongside the fixed Quick Match innings (5 wickets or 18 balls, unchanged), a Survival Knock mode is also here in its own practice-friendly form: no ball limit, one wicket ends your knock, and it keeps its own separate best score.
Frequently asked questions
How is Practice Nets different from the standard Cricket Batting?
The six and four timing windows are noticeably wider, you get 5 wickets instead of 3, and the innings runs 18 balls (3 overs) instead of 12, more room to find the timing. The aiming, fielding, running, and bowling-variety layer is the same as the standard game, just tuned wider throughout.
How do I hit a six?
Swing as the ball reaches the stumps with Lofted Shot selected. The window for a six is wider here than the standard game, so a slightly early or late swing can still connect and clear the field, whichever zone you aim at.
Can I choose where to hit the ball here too?
Yes. Pick an aim zone and Ground Shot or Lofted Shot before you swing, same as the standard game. Ground shots are never caught, which makes them a good way to practice placement before trying riskier lofted shots.
What's Survival Knock here?
The same idea as the standard game's Survival Knock: no ball limit, one wicket ends your knock, with this tier's own wider timing windows. It keeps its own separate best score from Quick Match.
How does the innings end?
In Quick Match, after 5 wickets or 18 balls (3 overs), whichever comes first. In Survival Knock, after your first wicket, with no ball limit.
Is Cricket Batting Practice Nets free with no account needed?
Yes. It's free with no download and no account, and your best score for each mode saves only in your own browser.
