The Story

It Started at a Weekend Club Match in Lahore

In 2021, our founder was scoring a club match in Lahore using a paper scorebook and a phone calculator. His sister in Birmingham kept texting asking for the score. He sent her a photo of the scorebook after each over. There had to be a better way.

He searched for a cricket scoring app that would let spectators watch live, for free, without downloading anything. It didn't exist. Every app either required spectators to create an account, charged a subscription, or was too complex for a casual scorer to operate.

"We built the simplest possible thing — a live cricket scorecard link anyone could open."

The first version launched March 2021 — Android app, live scorecard page, shareable link. Within three months, club teams in Karachi, Colombo, and Birmingham had found it through word of mouth alone. The problem was real and universal.

Today the app covers every format from Test matches to gully tape-ball, includes free YouTube Live broadcasting with professional scoreboard overlay — no OBS, no third-party tools — and has scored over 500,000 matches across 12 countries. The core product remains free. And always will be.

What We Built

Three Tools. One Free App. Every Level of Cricket.

Live Cricket Scoring is not one feature — it is three distinct tools built for every person involved in a cricket match.

Free Cricket Scoring App

Ball-by-ball entry in one tap. Generates a live cricket scorecard link the moment you start. Spectators open it in any browser — no app, no login, no cost. T20, ODI, Test, gully, tape-ball, custom formats. Works offline with auto-sync.

YouTube Live Broadcast

Connect your YouTube Stream Key once and press Go Live. Your match streams as a real video on YouTube with a professional scoreboard overlay — exactly like international broadcasts. No OBS. No encoder. No third-party tools. Just the app.

Tournament Management

Create multi-team tournaments with group stages, knockout brackets, live standings, MOM awards, player career stats, and a public results page. The cricket tournament management app for clubs, schools, and district leagues that used to run on WhatsApp and spreadsheets.

What We Believe

Three Principles Behind Every Decision

Every feature we build, every format we support, and every market we enter is guided by these three values.

Cricket Belongs to Everyone

The same live scorecard, YouTube broadcast, and tournament stats that professional teams enjoy should be available to a 6-a-side gully match in Rawalpindi or a school final in Colombo. No paywalls. No gatekeeping. Free forever.

Simplicity Is a Feature

A scorer starts their first match in under 90 seconds. A spectator opens a live link with zero friction. Going live on YouTube takes one tap after a 2-minute setup. If a feature makes the core experience slower or harder, it does not ship.

Local Context Matters

Gully cricket in Karachi plays by different rules than club cricket in Auckland. Tape-ball in Lahore is not the same as tennis-ball in Colombo. We build for all of it — not just the formats that appear on television.

Our Impact

Cricket Scored. Lives Connected.

Every number represents a match scored instead of lost to a paper scorebook, a spectator who finally followed their team from abroad, or a player whose career stats were tracked for the first time.

What People Say

Trusted by Scorers, Coaches & Organisers

From gully matches in Lahore to district leagues in Chennai — real feedback from real cricket people.

"We run a 12-team summer league in Lahore. Before this app, we kept scores in a WhatsApp group with photos of the scorebook. Now every match is live, every player has career stats, and our standings update automatically. It has completely changed how we run the league."

Muhammad Farooq 🇵🇰
Tournament organiser · Lahore Cricket League

"My parents are in Mumbai and I play club cricket in Birmingham. I shared the live link before the match started and they watched the whole thing in real time — no app, just a link. My mum texted me after every six I hit. That's what this app is for."

Rahul Desai 🇬🇧
Club cricketer · Midlands Premier League

"I coach the Under-16 side at our school in Chennai. After every match, I review the ball-by-ball data with the boys in the dressing room. We can see exactly which overs we lost momentum and why. The data coaching gets us is something professional teams take for granted. Now we have it too."
