Willow Smash: Cricket Batting Game – Play Free Online
Willow Smash
About Willow Smash
New
Willow Smash is a free cricket batting game you can play online in your browser, with no download needed. Step up to the crease in a packed, floodlit stadium full of cartoon fans, and chase over targets against bowling that gets quicker and trickier ball by ball.
Face medium pace, big swing, express bouncers and yorkers, off-spin and leg-spin googlies. Time your swing to drive, pull and cut, run your singles and twos with your partner, or loft it into the crowd for six. Clear twelve stages, then keep going in endless stages that get harder every time.
Bat as long as you can in Endless Batting, take on the daily challenge and a daily match against a rival team, or send a friend a match link so they face the very same balls. Play for a country or a league franchise as a male or female cricketer. It plays on phones, tablets and computers. Willow Smash is an original game made by the GamesYap team. For more sports action, try Spot Kick Clash.
How to play
Pick a stage. The goal card shows the target, the overs, your wickets and the bowlers you face.
Watch the bowler run in. A white mark on the pitch shows where the ball will bounce.
Tap the field, or press Space, as the ring around the ball closes, for a shot along the ground.
Timing sets the direction: early pulls to the leg side, on time goes straight, late cuts to the off side.
Tap LOFT, or press Up or W, to go for six. Fielders can catch a mistimed lofted shot.
Miss a straight ball and you may be bowled.
Features
12 stages with over targets, then endless stages that keep getting harder.
Pace, swing, bouncers, yorkers, off-spin and leg-spin.
Endless Batting with one wicket and a saved best score.
A daily challenge and a daily match against a rival team.
Friend match links: your friend faces the same balls, and the higher score wins.
A Super Over mode for a quick six-ball chase.
Ten countries and three original leagues, with male and female players.
Kits and bats to unlock with coins, for looks only.
Tips
Watch the bounce mark, not the bowler. It tells you the length early.
Play along the ground most of the time. Ground shots can't be caught, so save LOFT for when you need quick runs.
Against yorkers, be ready a touch early. Against slower spin, wait a little longer.
Rotate the strike with singles and twos. Steady runs win many chases without risky shots.
In the final over, check the target. If you need sixes, loft balls that are on a good length for timing.

1.7.3Sharper graphics on phones: the game no longer drops to a low-resolution canvas on slower devices.
Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you tap anywhere on the field to swing and tap the LOFT button for a big hit. On a computer you can use the keyboard or the mouse.
How do you hit a six in Willow Smash?+
Use the LOFT button, or the Up arrow or W key, and time your swing as the ring around the ball closes. A well-timed lofted shot can clear the rope for six. A mistimed one may be caught, so pick the ball carefully.
How does a friend match work?+
You bat two overs, then share the match link with a friend. Your friend faces the exact same balls, and the higher score wins. Rematch links work both ways, so you can keep the rivalry going.
Can I play as a female cricketer?+
Yes. In the Locker you can choose a male or female player with one of six faces, and pick a team: one of ten countries or a franchise in three original leagues. Opponents and fielders match your choice.
1.7.2New store icon and covers drawn with the game's own batter, umpire and stadium.
1.7.1A quick stage win counts for points (at least 8 s). Result screens say when a mode gives no points, and when a stage was already won today.
1.7.0Your name is set for you (your GamesYap name; change it in Locker › Player). Sharing an invite opens a share sheet (WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, copy) and coming back reopens the room board. My matches history in the Leaderboard. The menu shows your GamesYap points. Stages are tighter from stage 3 and now and then a ball comes on quicker. The stage page has a big Next button.
1.6.0In-game ad boards: the sight screen behind the bowler, the boundary LED boards and the giant screen can show images chosen in the GamesYap admin.
1.5.2Your name on the friend room screen; wicket wording.
1.5.0Friend rooms: the host picks the overs and wickets, everyone with the link faces the same balls and every result shows on one board (most runs wins). A Leaderboard with this week's GamesYap points and the best Endless Batting innings. The keeper stands behind the stumps, moves across to each ball, takes it and throws it back to the bowler. A banner and an On-strike label when the batters change ends. Sharper picture on phones.
1.4.2LOFT button in the bottom-right corner. A new wicketkeeper: crouched on the leg side in the opposing team's kit with pads, big gloves and helmet. The big screen shows overs and your best score in Endless Batting.
1.4.1Players who are not signed in get 3 free games a day, then watch an ad (or sign in) for each further game; if no ad is available the game stays free. Asset links carry the version so phones never mix an old script with a new page. Mode buttons fit small phones.
1.4.0One big LOFT button in the middle (tap the field for a shot along the ground). Play for your country — Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa or West Indies — or a franchise in three leagues, each in its own kit design. Choose a male or female player and one of six faces; opponents, bowlers and fielders match (men's and women's cricket).
1.3.0Over targets and endless stages: twelve stages in overs, then endless stages that get harder every time. The bowling now gets quicker and trickier ball by ball. Batters run their singles, twos and threes (odd runs swap the strike) and fielders throw the ball back to the keeper. New modes: Endless Batting (one wicket, harder every over), a Daily Match against a rival team and Friend Match links (both friends face the same balls, higher score wins). Five hearts with free refills over time. GamesYap points now come from stages, the daily challenge and the daily match only.

Cartoon cast: batsman in your Locker kit, fifteen bowlers with their own faces, fielders, umpire signals, a wicketkeeper behind the stumps and a stadium full of cartoon fans with a FAN CAM on the big screen. Goal card before every chase (target, wickets, the bowlers you face, star goals, coin reward), a three-series season path with locks, a daily challenge with a coin bonus, next-unlock teaser, boundary streaks, new-best moments and camera punches on sixes and wickets.
1.1.0Big stadium upgrade: tiered floodlit stands with a jumping crowd, flags, LED ring and giant screen, camera follows big sixes, fireworks and crowd roar. Five bowler types (medium, swing, express, off-spin, leg-spin) with named bowlers, speed gun and delivery labels. Timing ring, gentler first chases and a guided first innings.
