Game

Circumference of the ball

Cricket (Women)

The weight of the cricket ball differs in men’s, women’s and junior cricket, solely because of the traditionalist view of strength to use them.

​According to the law, a new men’s cricket ball shall

  • It weigh from 5.5 ounces/155.9 g to 5.75 ounces/163 g. It measures from 8.81 in/22.4 cm to 9 in/22.9 cm in circumference.
  • In women’s cricket, the cricket ball shall weigh from 4.94 ounces/140 g to 5.31 ounces 151 g.
  • It measures from 8.25 in/21.0 cm to 8.88 in/22.5 cm in circumference.

Hockey

  • Field Hockey Balls have a diameter of 2.81”-2.94” (71.3-74.8 mm) and a circumference of 8.82”-9.25” (22.4-23.5 cm).
  • The mass of a Field Hockey Ball is between 5.5-5.7 oz (156-163 g).

Softball (Women)

The ball itself is typically 11 or 12 inches (28 or 30 cm) in circumference, also depending on specifics of the competition.

Tennis

  • Tennis Balls have a diameter of 2.575”-2.7” (6.54-6.86 cm) and a circumference of 8.66”-9.02” (22-22.9 cm).
  • The mass of a Tennis Ball must be between 1.975-2.095 oz (56-59.4 g).

Thus, Option 4((A) – (III), (B) – (I), (C) – (II), (D) – (IV)) will be the correct answer.
