A cricket app has one job on match day: the score, now
Fans open a cricket app with the television on. If the app shows the wicket five seconds after the commentator has called it, they notice, and they do not come back. Everything else a cricket app offers — predictions, fantasy tips, news, stats — is built on getting each ball to every phone almost as it happens, and on doing that when the whole audience is online together.
We built Cricket Winner for Dubai's WinnerMedia Sports in 2022 to do exactly this, and it has been live since. Scores travel from the data feed through Redis pub/sub to a WebSocket held open by each app, so an update reaches fans in under a second without phones polling the server. Around that sit fantasy tools, win probability and projected scores from an ML model trained on more than ten years of match data, wicket and boundary alerts, and scorecards that can be read offline.
The founders who come to us for a cricket product usually want some mix of four things: a live score and match-centre app, a prediction and analysis product, a fantasy intelligence tool that helps users pick teams, or a news site that ranks. We build them as one platform across web, iOS and Android, so the same match data and the same accounts serve all of them.
Real-money games are banned in India since the 2025 online gaming law, so the prediction and fantasy features we build run on points and rewards, never on entry fees or cash prizes.
