InSports is a sports club on Shaikh Zayed road where you can enjoy several sports like cricket, soccer, and basketball. The most popular of them all is indoor cricket.
The rules for indoor cricket make the game very interesting.
There are two types of games in indoor cricket, 16-over and 12-over. The only difference between the two types is that in a 16-over game there are 8 players on each side while in a 12-over game there are 6 players in each team.
Each side plays 16 overs or 12 overs and the side that scores more runs wins the game.
Each batting pair bats for 4 overs so there is a new pair after every four overs. This guarantees that every player will get a chance to bat. If you get out the score is deducted by 5 runs. So you play full 4 overs no matter what.
Similarly, each player in the fielding team has to bowl two overs. So it is guaranteed that every player will get a chance to bowl.
Other than that, the court is surrounded by a net so you won’t have to run too far to chase the ball. If the ball hits the net the batting team gets extra runs.
In short, this form of cricket is a great fun activity once a month or so (or as frequently as you can afford it). The charges are Dhs 600 for a 16-over game and Dhs 300 for a 12-over game.
