Creating world history: the real target, chased live.

India set 224 against West Indies. Minutes after the real innings ended, that exact target was live in Pavilion, and we chased it from home.

A six in Pavilion: the ball's trail climbs into a blue sky over the ground, the nets and the trees.

In the third T20I between India and West Indies, India batted first and made 223. In most of the world, that number lives on a scoreboard and in the commentary. This time it went somewhere else as well.

As soon as the last ball of the innings was bowled, the target went live inside Pavilion: 224 to win, off 20 overs. While the real teams walked off and the second innings got ready, anyone with a phone could pick up a bat and chase the same number West Indies were about to chase.

We streamed our own chase live from home. As far as we know, no other game, on Roblox or on phones, lets you chase the real target live. We think that makes it a world first.

The real teams set it. You chase it.

How it works

  1. 1 · The real innings endsA real international side finishes batting first in a T20I or an ODI.
  2. 2 · The target goes liveWithin minutes, that exact target is live in Pavilion, with the real overs.
  3. 3 · Chase it in the breakBat during the innings break, while the real chase is about to start, or any time in the next 48 hours.
  4. 4 · Fewest balls winsEvery successful chase goes on the board. The fewer balls you need, the higher you go.

It runs for every T20I and ODI involving New Zealand, England, Australia, India, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and West Indies, men's and women's. Test matches get their own longer chase, with a news line updated at stumps each day.

Why we built it

Pavilion started on a training ground, as a game to end a junior session. The idea behind it has not changed: most people who love cricket get to watch far more of it than they get to play.

Real-match chases close that gap a little. You are not just watching the game. You are batting in it, against the same number, at the same moment, as the players on your screen. When the real chase starts, you already know exactly how hard it is.

What comes next

Next we want everyone chasing at the same moment to see each other: a live race board during the innings break, so you are chasing against other fans as well as the target.

The next big series is New Zealand against India, starting in Christchurch on 22 October. Every innings that ends first is a target waiting to be chased.
