About Crics Live
An independent cricket website: live scores, scorecards, reports, news and fixtures. This page explains how each part is made and what the site leaves out.
What the site is
Crics Live is an independent cricket website. It shows live scores that refresh by themselves, full scorecards, match reports, news briefs, fixtures in your own time zone with an “add to calendar” button, and points tables. It also has three free calculators: net run rate, run rate, and strike rate and economy.
The site is free. There is no account and no sign-up. It launched on 12 November 2026.
How the live scores are produced
The scores are read from a public scoreboard data feed. While a match is in play the page asks for fresh numbers about every 20 seconds. At other times it checks once a minute. A score can be a few seconds to a minute behind the ground.
A match page shows the batters at the crease, the last balls, the batting and bowling cards, the fall of wickets, the playing XIs and the key moments. In a limited-overs chase, a chase meter shows where the batting side stands. The score also appears in the browser tab title. A “Data saver” switch in the menu makes the refreshes three times less frequent for anyone on a slow or metered connection.
Two extras run entirely in your browser. A switch on a match page turns on notifications for wickets, innings changes and the result; these work only while that page stays open in a tab. Tapping the star next to a team moves its matches to the top and saves the team name on your device, where My Teams lists it.
How the match reports are written
Soon after a match ends, a report is written automatically from the site’s own scorecard data: the result, the totals, the top scores and the best bowling. Before it is published, a rule checks every number in the report against the scorecard.
How the news briefs are written
A news brief is a short write-up of a story that another outlet reported first. The desk writes it in its own words and adds a credit line with a link to the original report. No quotes, photos or sentences are copied. Sensitive stories, such as legal matters, allegations and health, are left out of the automatic desk.
Reports and briefs are produced with AI assistance and rule checks. That keeps them quick and consistent, but it does not make them perfect. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will correct it.
Pictures and team badges
The pictures are original illustrations made for the site. The team badges are drawn by the site from team names and colours. No official logos are used.
What the site does not do
- It is not connected to any cricket board, league, team, broadcaster or other score website.
- It has no betting, no odds, no tips and no fantasy advice.
- It does not stream matches.
- It has no accounts, sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising trackers.
The few settings the site remembers stay in your browser. The privacy policy lists each one, and the disclaimer covers accuracy and independence.
