The box cricket format is a modified version of traditional cricket, typically played in enclosed spaces. It has several unique features:

1. Big Ground Size (60*120): Played in a confined, often indoor or walled area, such as a box or a cage.

2. Fewer Players: Teams usually consist of 6–8 players, compared to 11 in traditional cricket.

3. Shorter Matches: Matches are shorter, usually limited to 6–8 overs per side, allowing for faster, more intense games.

4. Boundaries and Scoring: Boundaries are smaller, and there may be specific rules for hitting certain walls or areas of the box, with some areas yielding extra runs.

5. Underarm or Soft Bowling: In many versions of box cricket, underarm or soft bowling is used to suit the smaller space and reduce injury risk.

6. Special Rules: There may be rules such as "one-tip" (out on the first bounce), automatic runs for hitting the walls, or restrictions on aerial shots to prevent damage to the enclosure.

7. Focus on Skill: Box cricket emphasizes quick reflexes, agility, and precision in both batting and bowling, with less reliance on power-hitting.

It is popular for recreational play, especially in urban areas where space is limited.
