Play Cricket in Dubai

Join cricket games at your own standard — no team, no club membership, no group chat required.

Play cricket without a team

Most people who play cricket through Lineup arrive on their own. You take one open seat in a game and the rest of the roster fills around you. You do not need a partner, a side or a regular group, and you are not asked to bring anyone.

Matched to your level, not to whoever turned up

Lineup gives you a level from 0 to 7, to one decimal, specifically for cricket. It is worked out from the results of the games you play rather than from how you rate yourself, and it moves every time you play. Each cricket game publishes a level range, so before you join you already know the people on the other side are close to your standard.

Your cricket level is separate from your level in every other sport. Being strong at one sport tells nobody how you play another, so the numbers are kept apart.

Where and how cricket runs

Games are played as hard-ball and tape-ball fixtures, at grounds and cages across Dubai. Every listing shows the venue, the start time, the format, the entry cost and the level range before you commit to anything.

You do not need a club side. Games are filled by individual players, so turning up alone is normal.

Court and pitch bookings

Lineup does not book venues for you. What it does do is let players pass bookings between each other: if someone has booked a court or a pitch and cannot use it, they list the slot and another player takes it over. Nothing is wasted and nobody sits out.
