How to Play

1. Overview

This game simulates an IPL match between two teams selected by you. You can pick two different IPL teams and then play ball-by-ball by clicking on the “Play Ball” button for each team. The game tracks runs, wickets, and balls for each team and even updates individual player statistics. At the end of the match, a final scoreboard is displayed along with the “Player of the Match” (the highest run-scorer).

2. Age & Eligibility Restrictions

Age Requirement:

You must be at least 18 years old to play this game. This ensures that only eligible users participate in a responsible, skill-based environment.

Team Selection:

The game is designed for IPL teams only. Select two different teams (e.g., Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, etc.). The same team cannot be selected for both sides.

3. Team Selection Process

Step 1: Choose Teams - When you open the game, you’ll see a team selection section where you can choose Team 1 and Team 2 from separate dropdown menus.

Step 2: Validate Selection - The game checks that both teams are selected and that they are not the same. If the selection is valid, click the Start Game button to begin.

4. Gameplay Process

Initialization:

Once the teams are selected, the game dashboard appears. It displays the names of the two teams, a scoreboard for each team (including runs, wickets, and balls faced), and a list of players for each team along with their individual statistics.

Playing the Game:

Play Ball: Each team has a Play Ball button. Clicking it simulates a ball being played for that team.

Outcome of Each Ball: The game randomly determines the outcome for each ball. There is a 10% chance the ball results in a wicket; otherwise, a random number of runs (0–6) is scored.

Updating Statistics: When a ball is played, the team’s overall score is updated, and a random player is credited with the run(s) or wicket, with individual statistics updated in real time.

Alternate Gameplay: Although each team has its own Play Ball button, you can alternate between teams as you wish.
