Which is the best cricket game for iPhone? A quick look at Real Cricket 20

If you love cricket and you have an iPhone, you’ve probably asked yourself which game gives the most authentic feel. There are a handful of titles out there, but one keeps popping up in forums, YouTube chats, and friend circles: Real Cricket 20. In this review we’ll tell you why it’s the go‑to choice and how it compares to other apps.

First off, the graphics. Real Cricket 20 uses a 3D engine that makes stadiums look like the real thing. You can see the crowd, the lights, and even the wear on the pitch after a long spell. That level of detail isn’t common on mobile, and it makes every match feel like a broadcast.

Gameplay is another strong suit. The controls are simple – swipe to bowl, tap to bat – yet they respond with realistic ball physics. You’ll notice the difference between a swing, a seam, or a spin delivery. The AI learns from your style, so the game stays challenging whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned player.

Multiplayer and tournament mode

What really sets Real Cricket 20 apart is its real‑time multiplayer. You can invite a friend for a quick showdown or join a global ladder where you face opponents from any time zone. The matchmaking is fast, and you get live chat while you play, which adds a social vibe.

The tournament mode mirrors real World Cup structures. You choose a team, play group matches, then move to knock‑outs. Points, net run rate, and player stats are tracked just like in the actual sport. This means you can practice strategies you’d use in real tournaments.

Other iPhone cricket games you might try

While Real Cricket 20 is the standout, a couple of other apps deserve a mention. [placeholder] WCC2 offers a more arcade feel with power‑ups and exaggerated shots – fun for quick sessions but less realistic. [placeholder] Cricket Captain 2020 focuses on team management and player stats, great if you prefer a board‑game vibe.

In short, if you want a blend of realistic graphics, solid ball physics, and a multiplayer community, Real Cricket 20 wins the iPhone battle. It’s free to download with optional in‑app purchases, so you can start playing right away without spending a penny.
