a variant of cricket played in an enclosed indoor space, typically on a smaller pitch with modified rules
Indoor cricket is a version of the traditional cricket game played inside on a smaller, enclosed field. It follows similar rules to outdoor cricket, but the playing area is typically smaller, and the ball can bounce off the walls or roof, which can lead to different strategies and faster gameplay. The match is usually played between two teams of six players, and the format can vary, but the basic goal is the same: to score more runs than the opposing team. Indoor cricket is fast-paced and is popular in areas where outdoor cricket is not possible due to weather conditions.
