Live Cricket Scoring helps local scorers broadcast cricket matches on Facebook Live while entering every ball in the app. The live video can show a cricket scoreboard overlay with score, wickets, overs, batsmen, bowler, run rate, and match details as the scorer updates the game. Popular with RWA society tournament organisers, school cricket coordinators, and turf league administrators whose audience follows on Facebook.
Facebook Live remains a popular streaming platform for Indian local cricket, particularly for RWA society cups where members follow through Facebook groups, school tournaments where parents receive the live link on WhatsApp and watch on Facebook, and turf league organisers who already have a Facebook Page audience from previous season coverage. The app-based workflow avoids needing a laptop or OBS setup at the ground — set up the Stream Key once, and score matches directly from your phone with the scoreboard overlay updating live on Facebook.
Use the simple scorecard link for fast WhatsApp sharing, or connect Facebook Live when you want a video broadcast with overlay.
Every match can create a shareable scorecard URL. Spectators open it in a browser and follow the match ball by ball. No Facebook setup required for this option. Share on WhatsApp in one tap.
Connect Facebook Live and broadcast a real cricket video with a scoreboard overlay. Best for clubs, schools, RWA tournaments and gully matches that want viewers watching on Facebook.
The goal is simple: score the match and broadcast it without building a desktop streaming setup.
A desktop streaming tool used by many broadcasters. Useful, but not required for this app workflow.
Not needed hereTraditional RTMP software setup can take time and usually needs a laptop or desktop at the ground.

RequiredCopy the Stream Key from Facebook Live Producer and add it to the app's broadcast settings.
Setup stepUse Facebook Live Producer once, connect your Stream Key, then score and broadcast the match from Live Cricket Scoring.
Before setup, confirm that the Facebook account, Page or professional profile you want to use can go live. Facebook may apply account age, follower and access requirements.
Before setupGo to facebook.com/live/create. Choose where the live video should be posted, click Go live, then select Streaming software as the video source.
Facebook shows the Stream Key and may also show a Server URL for streaming software. Copy the Stream Key and keep the Server URL available if your app version asks for it.
Copy carefullyOpen Live Cricket Scoring, go to Broadcast Settings, choose Facebook Live, and paste the Stream Key into the broadcast field.
One-time setup if persistentCreate your cricket match — enter teams, overs, format (T20, box cricket, turf cricket, gully, custom) and toss details, then score each delivery. The app uses the scoring data to update the cricket scoreboard overlay.
How ball-by-ball scoring works →Start the broadcast from the app, preview it in Facebook Live Producer if needed, then share the Facebook Live link or the live scorecard link on WhatsApp with spectators.
Spectators watch the match on Facebook Live while the overlay shows the live cricket score, overs, wickets, batsmen, bowler, run rate and other match details.
The key advantage is that the same ball-by-ball scoring action updates both the scorecard link and the Facebook broadcast overlay. Share the link on WhatsApp and spectators who miss the Facebook video can still follow the scorecard in a browser.
Compare a phone-first scoring workflow with a traditional desktop streaming setup.
