Choose a Quick Match and leave fielding on Automatic for the first innings. When batting, pick a direction with the D-pad and press A for a controlled ground stroke; reserve B’s Six-Hit for a loose ball because it can be caught. Press A to call a run and press it again before the batsmen cross if you need to turn back. When bowling, position the pitch marker, confirm with A, choose swing or spin, and tap A repeatedly during the run-up to build delivery speed.

Batting uses the D-pad to choose one of eight stroke directions. A plays a ground stroke and also calls or cancels a run; B plays the aggressive Six-Hit, which carries farther but is easier to catch. For bowling, move the pitch marker with the D-pad and press A to confirm, choose the swing or spin direction, press A again, then tap A to build run-up power. In manual fielding, move the starred fielder with the D-pad, stand in the white circle to catch, use A or B to throw toward either end, and press C to switch fielders.
