Which team sport is played with a small, hard ball and a bat?

Miss Sue, Problem is that this is not an English sport question. If you had taken the time to read the article you would see that it is a sport played worldwide . So it could have a world championship. Strange that the picture shows equipment from some obscure sport nobody plays!

Mars V, baseball is not played as a major competitive sport around the world, unlike cricket.

Player #25874027, Baseball is played all over the world.

I’ve gotten this question twice in the last hour, both times with baseball equipment in the picture.
