World Cricket Championship 2 Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Cheats & Tricks to Become a World Class Cricketer

1. Master Control Of The Cricket Bat

A batsman is a key player in the game of cricket and as the controller of all batsmen on your team, it is vital that you should learn to control your shots like a pro. The best tip for mastering control of the bat is to start practicing the swiping movements on the screen needed to hit shots. There are two types of shot combinations in the game and knowing when to use which type of shot is essential to your making a high score with your batsman during the innings. Having a good idea of the pros and cons of each type of shot and the best times to utilize them will give you a definite edge over other players and you will be able to make much faster progress in World Cricket Championship 2.

Lofted Shots

World Cricket Championship 2

Although not mentioned in the game mechanics, this type of shot is also known as the “power shot” because it packs a powerful hit from your batsman. Ideally you should be able to hit a six, which is the highest run in the game, every time you hit a loft shot with perfect timing. However achieving perfect timing on all your shots is not as easy as it sounds. The in game tutorial will offer no help to you on perfecting the shots and it is only through sheer practice that you will be able to master this sense of striking the ball. A very handy tip to keep in mind while you are on the batting end is to wait for the last possible moment before swiping across the screen to hit the ball with your bat. This is because when your batsman is in the Lofted Shot pose, he leaves the entire wicket below his waist exposed to the oncoming ball.

Needless to say, this means that if you badly time the swipe and miss the shot, it will almost always lead to you being bowled out or a “Leg Before Wicket” dismissal. Therefore while the Lofted Shot provides a huge amount of power and the ability to score multiple boundaries in a row, it is not always the safest choice. You should especially take caution while trying to play Lofted Shots while facing spin type bowlers as the ball can move in an unexpected direction quite suddenly leading to a quick loss of wickets at your end. Practice as much as you can and your efforts will be rewarded when you finally learn to time every shot to score a perfect sixer!

Ground Drive Shots

If you are a fan of watching live cricket games, you will agree with the fact that most of the innings of any batsman is based on easing the ball through the gaps in the field and trying to score runs by running between the wickets. This technique applies to the virtual matches you will be playing in World Cricket Championship 2 as well. Ground Drive shots are the bread and butter of any good batsman and the highest amount of runs you can score using this shot is a “4”.

It is also much easier for newer players to get familiarized with because unlike the Lofted Shot, these shots can be played while your batsman is in the default stance. This means that there is no need to tap a button to switch the stance and this saves a lot of time and worry on the batting end for new players. Another huge advantage of maintaining the default stance through most of your innings is the safety it provides against being dismissed as your batsman is covering the wicket at all times. Therefore if you are a new player and want to play the safe way to the top, choosing the ground drive shots over the lofted shots in uncertain situations is the way to go forward.

2. Batting Order And Lineup

While playing World Cricket Championship 2, you control the players on the field as well as manage the entire team as a coach. This means taking critical decisions about which players to send as opening batsmen for your team and deciding the overall batting order. Even though it seems like a very trivial thing, your opening batsmen are actually the players who establish your suprrmacy in the innings. If the opening is weak, it will be very hard for your team to perform under pressure and you will likely end up scoring a lot less than you would have been able to with a strong opening pair on the pitch.

World Cricket Championship 2

In order to help you select the best batsmen for each role, there is a selection screen which is displayed before the start of your innings. On this screen, you can see the roles each member of your cricket team is used to playing and also their power and skill levels. As a general rule always put the players with the highest power and skill on your opening squad even if they are not on top of the batting order by default. This is because you need to score as many runs as you can at the start of your innings and this might not always be possible with the default batting lineup that is given to you.

A very handy tip to remember at all times during the game is that you can still access the team selection and batting order screen during your innings. This means that after the dismissal of a batsman, you should always take a look at your team’s performance and if it is not going good, shift some of the key players further down the batting lineup. Having better skilled players towards the end of your batting lineup prevents your team from being wiped out and ensures that you always have a good player to score runs at the strikers end of the pitch.

3. Effective Fielding Formations

Cricket is a game that focuses upon two batsmen trying to score runs and the opposing team of 11 players trying to stop them from achieving that objective. Once you have made a respectable score for the opposing team to chase, it is now your task to stop as may runs as you can on the field. This is only possible with an effective fielding formation in place according to the style and preference of the batsman on the strikers end. By default there are three types of fielding formations available for you to use in the game but it is much better to use a custom formation to adjust for all styles of play by the enemy team. Before moving on to field formations it is necessary for you to know that the field is divided into three zones and this is where you will be rotating your fielders. The inner circle is very close to the pitch, then comes the mid field and lastly the outer circle comprises of the areas near the boundary line.

World Cricket Championship 2

An aggressive fielding formation is recommended for you to use during the earlier stage of the innings. This is because the openers will be looking to get comfortable at the wicket during this stage and an aggressive formation builds up pressure around them by placing 4 fielders in the inner circle very close to the batsmen. Remember, if you can stop the batsmen from running between the wickets, they will try to play lofted shots and this can lead to an increased opportunity for catches.

A defensive fielding formation is best for the middle order game as this is the point where your opponent will try to set or chase a high score. This means lots of lofted shots and chances to get catches at the boundaries. The defensive formation will focus most of your fielders towards the boundaries and this should stop the enemy batsmen from hitting a lot of sixers and fours during this stage of the game.

Once you have gained a sufficient idea of how the fielding formations work and the factors that affect the efficiency of your fielders, it is recommended to switch over to the custom formation. This is because each enemy batsman will have his own style of play and you can judge this from the first ball. It is therefore much easier to control his shots by placing fielders in his favourite play zones.

    The game has amazing graphics and good controls. It's one of the best games I've ever played. There are different types of shots you can use by swiping, but be careful not to make a wrong shot and get out. Overall, it's a wonderful game 🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮. However, the commentary in the game should be improved with more varied and engaging words to attract players. Hope this feedback helps!

    Played this game for years on my phone and loved playing it offline. But after the recent update, it's just terrible with too many long ads. Can't stand watching ads after every over. Really wish they'd allow offline play. Deleting the game now.

    I played this cricket game recently and it's the best one so far. However, the competition in the game is lacking. Even when I choose hard difficulty, the AI's performance isn't consistent. It either hits big shots or just wastes deliveries. I believe the game would be more engaging if the AI could play more realistically, mixing boundaries with singles and doubles. Enhancing this aspect would definitely add more excitement and challenge to the game.

    You have 17 matches in the Tournament and if you lose a game, you must start from the beginning or watch a video. Maybe not good for users. Why not have manual fielding in test cricket? Besides these issues, I really enjoy playing this game. It's such an amazing game.

    I played the best android cricket game ever. Everything about it is great, especially the smooth graphics. However, I noticed a problem with the fielders. Sometimes they drop easy catches or miss simple fieldings, which affects the scoreboard. I hope the authority can fix this issue. By solving this minor problem, the game will improve even more. I recommend everyone to try playing this game for a real cricket experience.

    It's the ultimate cricket game out there. The latest update was great, but there are some areas that could be improved. Firstly, player statistics in NPL should continue beyond just one season, covering their entire career. Secondly, it's too easy to bowl out opponents at low scores and get them out with edges. Opponents' batting should be more challenging. Lastly, there's a significant gap in difficulty between the Expert mode and other modes when it comes to batting – it's too hard in Expert mode and too easy in the other three modes.

    A big problem was found in the new version 2.8 of the game I really enjoy playing regularly. After updating yesterday, I noticed that I couldn't change the field setup (both manual and preset). Also, when the bowler tries to review an LBW decision using the DRS, the game freezes. These are the issues I'm currently facing. Please fix them as soon as possible. Besides this, the game is fantastic!
