LAST OVER / CRICKET

A cricket game you can finish in under a minute

Last Over puts you at the crease for the most tense six balls in cricket. You need 12 runs. A marker slides along the timing bar as each delivery arrives, and one tap decides the ball: hit the bright centre for a six, the outer green for a four, or miss the zone and it is a dot ball. The marker gets a little faster with every delivery, so the sixth ball is the hardest of the over.

There is nothing to install and no account to create. It runs in your phone or computer browser, and it works with one thumb. When the over ends you get a score link. Send it to a friend on WhatsApp and they can see your ball-by-ball score, then try to beat it with their own over.
