Fielders try to stop the ball from leaving the field (since this generally nets the batting team more runs than running [50]), and attempt to throw the ball to wherever the batting team's players are running to prevent them from scoring runs and get them out. [51] [52] On the Indian subcontinent, for instance, pitches tend to be dry, dusty, rough and soft which tends to wear down the ball more. These pitches offer less assistance to fast bowlers because the ball tends to bounce slower and lower, where most fast bowlers rely on bounce and speed to defeat the batsman. On the other hand, spin bowlers prefer this surface because it gives greater traction to the ball and will result in the ball breaking or turning more when it hits the surface. When such a delivery is bowled, the ball is said to have "turned". When the pink balls were introduced, their weight was heavier than the red balls since it was used at night and required more shine and visibility. Desk, SportsCafe (26 November 2022).

The weight of the ball is also important from a batsman’s point of view. If the ball is heavy then the batsman will require more strength and effort to hit the ball. Whereas if the ball is light, then it is easy for the batsman to hit the ball with timing and accuracy. In a match situation, all balls are fairly uniform irrespective of their colour. There are those specifications relating to weight and circumference which are to be followed and enforced by the match officials. In particular, slip positions require special skills since the slip fielder is placed behind the batsman and the ball comes directly off the edge of the bat. a b "Law 28: The Fielder".

Someone made it of leather and it has a hard outer shell with a cork core, similar to the red ball. Someone chose the white color of the ball to improve visibility under floodlights, as limited-overs matches are often played as day-night matches.

Consistent bounce: The ball consistently bounces true, allowing for accurate judgment of its trajectory. The amount of foul territory is also an important variable, since foul pop-ups that would be outs in some parks (e.g., the Oakland Coliseum) may end up in the stands in other parks, thereby allowing the batter to remain at the plate (e.g., Fenway Park and Coors Field). Before the match is started, the captains of both teams choose the ball for bowling and handover it to the umpire.The weight of the ball should be between 4.69 – 5.06 ounces or 133 – 144 grams and should have a circumference between 20.5cm – 22. cm. In baseball, various game situations can dictate whether the ball should be hit to the left or right side of the field. For example, if the batting team has a runner on second base that they are intent on advancing, they will want to hit the ball to right field, as this gives the runner more time to advance to third base - positioned on the left side of the field - as the right fielder's throw arrives. The weight of the ball should be between 4.94 – 5.31 ounces or 140 – 151 grams and should have a circumference between 21cm – 22.5cm.
