Explain why it is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball moving at the same speed?

It is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball moving with same speed because cricket ball is heavier that is, have more mass or more inertia as compared to tennis ball hence, difficult to stop because more force is required to stop cricket ball.

Inertia ∝ Mass ∝ Force required to work against
