A cricket game in Nepali language, from menus to scores

Menus, buttons, scores, the toss, the innings break, the result card and every message switch to Nepali together. When the game is in Nepali, scores use Nepali numerals, so 6/0 becomes ६/०.

The cricket words are the ones you hear at the ground: a four is चौका, a six is छक्का, the target is लक्ष्य, a tie is बराबर, and the captain calls the टस. Our glossary, cricket words in Nepali and English, lists every term the game uses with a plain explanation.

The commentary line at the bottom of the screen follows your language, in online matches and offline in Practice. The crowd chants are complete in both languages too. How the commentary is voiced is still being decided, and we'll share it when it is.

Lobby chat works in either language: one-tap chat lines, short typed messages, recorded voice calls like "Howzat!" and emotes on the stage.

The theme is an original score we composed in-house for the game, with no stock music and no borrowed samples. It plays in the lobby while you pick your team, under the big moments of a match and when you win; listen on the theme music page. The wider soundtrack is planned around Nepali instruments such as the madal, the sarangi and the bansuri, as our Made in Nepal page explains.

Music, sound effects and players' calls each have their own switch in Settings, so you can keep the crowd and turn the music off on the bus.

Every match is a night match under floodlights, with hills rising behind the stands and a crowd dressed in the colours of the two teams playing. The eight teams carry the names of Nepal's T20 franchises, with crests and kits of our own design, and every player is fictional. Meet them on the teams page.
