How to score a Bowl Out
Quick MatchFull Match
Choose Bowl Out at the tie prompt. Bowlers from each side take turns aiming at unguarded stumps — tap hit or miss for each attempt. Five each, then sudden death if still level.
Why gully cricket loves it
A Super Over needs batters, fielders and light. A bowl out needs a set of stumps and five people willing to have a go — which is why it is the tiebreaker most street and box games actually use. It is also barely supported anywhere else.
How it is scored
Teams alternate attempts, five each.
Each attempt is simply a hit or a miss.
Most hits wins. Still level after five, it goes to sudden death — attempts six and beyond, which the app marks in red.
The bowl out is saved with the match and gets its own tab in the over-by-over view, showing every attempt side by side.
