Real-Time Cricket Scores and Commentary Platform
This platform shows live cricket scores, ball-by-ball commentary, and match stats as they happen. It runs on its own website and can also be added to approved partner websites.
Understanding the problem
Cricket fans want to see each update right away. If the score is even a few seconds late, it's annoying. The platform also needed to show more than just scores. Fans want commentary, full scorecards, schedules, results, and news too. And the client wanted to share the live scores with partner websites, but only with sites they approved, so the data couldn't be used by anyone else.
