Match Scenarios

Sharpen your tactical thinking with interactive AI match scenarios — decide, see the outcome, and learn.

Cricket is as much a mental game as a physical one. Yorker's match scenarios put you in realistic match situations and make you decide — then simulate what happens and coach you on the decision.

Tactical field view with scoring zones and bowling lines

How to play a scenario

Open the coach chat and switch to Scenario mode (or use the Scenario quick action). Parameter chips above the input let you pick:

  • Type — batting, bowling, captaincy, or fielding
  • Format — T20, ODI, or Test
  • Difficulty — easy, medium, hard, or expert

Then just say "give me a scenario" — or describe the exact situation you want to face ("put me in a death-overs bowling scenario defending 12"). Your words always win over the chips.

How a play unfolds

  1. The situation — The coach sets the scene like a commentator: score, overs, pitch, match context, and the pressure of the moment.
  2. Your decision — You get exactly three options with different risk profiles (safe, calculated, bold). Tap one.
  3. The outcome — The coach simulates what happens ball by ball, calibrated to the risk you took. Bold calls can come off spectacularly — or teach you an expensive lesson.
  4. The debrief — Every outcome ends with coaching feedback, a probability analysis, what professionals do in that situation, a decision score out of 100, and XP toward your journey.

Tip: You can ask follow-up questions after any outcome — "What if the batter had hit two sixes in over 18? Do I still keep the spinner on?"

Scenario types

  • Batting scenarios — Run chases, rebuilding after a collapse, powerplay strategy, death overs
  • Bowling scenarios — Defending totals, breaking partnerships, reverse swing, spell planning
  • Captaincy scenarios — Field placements, bowling changes, DRS reviews, declarations
  • Fielding scenarios — Close catching, boundary saves, run-out opportunities

Your scenario history

Every completed scenario is saved. The Scenarios page (search "Scenarios" in the command palette) shows your plays, average decision score, and total XP — expand any row to revisit the outcome and coaching debrief, or hit Continue in chat to discuss a past decision with the coach.

Scenario plays count toward your plan's monthly scenario allowance, whichever way you start them.
