Cricket Tournaments in Bengaluru: How to Enter

Turf cricket tournaments in Bengaluru are short-format games: on MyGameGrid so far, 7-a-side with five-over innings. To enter one, find a listing with the date, format and entry fee, register your team, and wait for the organiser to confirm. MyGameGrid lists every public one on the Bengaluru cricket tournaments page.

Where do you find cricket tournaments in Bengaluru?

Turf cricket tournaments are usually organised by clubs, communities and venues, and announced in WhatsApp groups and on Instagram. That makes them hard to find unless you already know someone in the group.

Start with the Bengaluru cricket tournaments page, or the all-sports Bengaluru page. Each listing shows the venue, date, format, squad size, entry fee and registration deadline.

A recent example from the platform: the Nam Oora Sports Club Cricket Tournament, Season 2 (10 October 2026, Terra Arena) is a 7v7, five-over tournament with a ₹3,888 entry per team and a ₹20,000 prize pool.

What formats and fees should you expect?

Expect small-sided teams and short innings, with group games before knockouts on bigger days. The Nam Oora example above uses groups then knockouts, squads of 7 to 10 players, and ₹3,888 per team (as of October 2026).

Box cricket adds house rules, such as how catches off the net count or what hitting the roof scores. They vary by venue, so read the rules on the tournament page before match day. For the full laws of the game, the reference is the MCC's Laws of Cricket.

How does registration work?

You register as a team on MyGameGrid: choose or create your team, add players, and answer the organiser's questions. Paid tournaments use approval-based registration, so the organiser confirms each team before fixtures are drawn. Pay the entry fee the way the organiser asks and add your payment reference so they can match it.

Register before the deadline shown on the tournament page; some events also cap the number of teams.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is box cricket?

A: Box cricket is short-format cricket played inside a netted turf enclosure. Venues on MyGameGrid list 5v5 and 7v7 slots. The nets keep the ball in play, so venues add house rules for hits off the net and walls.

Q: Can I enter a cricket tournament without a full team?

A: Tournaments register teams, not individuals, and each sets a minimum squad (the Nam Oora 7v7 event needs at least 7). If you are short, play open games on MyGameGrid to meet regulars first.

Q: How long does a turf cricket tournament take?

A: It depends on the number of teams and the format, and the tournament page lists the dates. With five-over innings, each match is short, so teams that progress play several in a day.

Q: Can I host my own cricket tournament?

A: Yes. Host on MyGameGrid: set the format, squad sizes and entry fee, approve teams, and publish fixtures and results.
