Creating a comprehensive cricket analytics, live score, and news platform for cricket enthusiasts
Cricket.com (formerly known as Crictec) is a comprehensive cricket app that caters to every type of cricket fan. From providing real-time ball-by-ball coverage and live score tracking, to housing and archiving various types of cricket data, news, opinions, and insights from around the world of cricket, Cricket.com has become the go-to platform for cricket enthusiasts.

Backend Development: The team developed a robust backend system that could handle large volumes of data and real-time updates, including live scores, news, and analytics. The CMS provided a seamless way to add and manage data.
