Play Cricket 07 in the browser
Short answer: the browser version is an unofficial port by developer Dhaiwat Pandya at cricket07.dhaiwat.com. Open it in desktop Chrome or Edge. It is not an EA product, and this site does not host or embed it.
The port went public on 22–24 October 2026 and spread quickly in India and Pakistan. Searches for “cricket 07 dhaiwat”, “cricket 07.daivat” and similar spellings all point to the same address. Typing it by hand is safer than clicking a copy you found in a comment.
What the port is
The 2006 Windows game was translated function by function from x86 machine code to C, then compiled to WebAssembly. Direct3D 8 is rebuilt on WebGPU and DirectSound plays through Web Audio, so the match runs on your own computer inside the tab. Nothing is streamed from a cloud PC.
The two first-party sources say different things about the game files. The GitHub repository is MIT licensed, contains no game files and says you need your own copy. The live port page offers two packs it describes as the game itself. EA has not licensed the port or the packs. Decide for yourself; we only describe what each page says.
Regular or Lite
| Pack | Size shown on the port page | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 740 MB | The whole game with commentary and the full soundtrack |
| Lite | 438 MB | No commentary and one song; you can switch to Regular later |
| First visit cache | about 1.2 GB | News coverage reports the browser keeps about 1.2 GB after the first load |
| Installed PC game | about 1.2 GB | The 2006 DVD install, a different figure from either pack |
Pick Lite on a slow connection or a laptop with little free disk space. Pick Regular if you want Richie Benaud and Mark Nicholas on commentary. Commentary questions are on commentary and sound.
Which browser and device work
- Desktop or laptop Chrome or Edge with hardware acceleration on. WebGPU must be available.
- Safari has trouble with the large download, according to the developer’s notes quoted in news coverage.
- Phones and tablets are not supported. There is no touch control and no official Android or iOS app; see Android.
- Keyboard or a game controller. The port also maps a mouse cursor in menus.

Online 1v1 with a friend
The port adds online 1v1 that the 2006 game never had. One player hosts a room and shares a code or an invite link, the other joins. Both need the same pack. Steps, server regions and input delay are on browser multiplayer.
Saves and storage
Game data and saves live in the browser’s private storage for that site. Clearing site data, using a private window, or switching browsers starts you from zero. Save from the in-game menu before you close the tab; a refresh does not resume an unsaved match.
If it will not load
A grey or blank tab is usually the first download still running, WebGPU being off, or not enough disk space. The full checklist, including the “needs cross-origin isolation” error, is on browser not loading.
Other ways to play
A community desktop wrapper called cricket07-desktop (Mac and Windows) is built on the same port. It is a third-party project we have not tested, so treat it with the same caution as any unsigned app. The original options are still your own PC disc or a PS2 copy.
