= Super 7 Cricket = Super 7 (7X7) is a shortened game format of cricket. It is a recreational sport introduced by the cricket enthusiasts in United States. In a Super7 game, the two teams have a single innings each, which is restricted to a maximum of 7 overs and 7 players a side.

A typical Super 7 game completes in about one hour, with each innings lasting around 25 minutes and an official 10-minute break between the innings. This is much shorter than previous forms of the game.

A heavy weight tennis ball is used to play this game in place of traditional leather ball to play these games.
