The people who couldn't make it
Why stream your cricket match?
Your mate moved up north. Dad's on a Saturday shift. The in-laws want to watch. Half the group is injured and stuck at home. With Cricket Scorer, anyone who can't make it to the ground watches a proper live stream — not a shaky phone call — with the live scorecard, run rate, and ball-by-ball updates overlaid on screen. For free, from your phone, in under two minutes of setup.
| Before Cricket Scorer | With Cricket Scorer |
|---|---|
| Shaky FaceTime with no score visible | Clean live stream with scorecard overlay |
| Needed a laptop + OBS + encoder | Just your phone and an RTMP key |
| Score updates texted in the group chat | Live score overlaid on the stream automatically |
| Separate scorer + separate streamer needed | One person scores — stream updates in real time |
Portrait or landscape — your choice
Cricket Scorer supports both stream orientations. Pick the one that suits how your audience will watch.
Landscape — hold your phone sideways
Best for viewers watching on a TV, laptop, or desktop screen. The live scorecard renders as a professional broadcast bar along the bottom — showing batsman scores, team total, overs, bowler figures, and current run rate. Ideal for a Saturday league fixture you want to broadcast properly.
- ✓Full broadcast-style scorebar at the bottom
- ✓Team logos, batsmen, bowler, run rate all visible
- ✓Best for TV and desktop viewers
- ✓Recommended for Saturday league streams
Landscape output — scorebar at the bottom
Portrait — hold your phone upright
Best for viewers watching on a mobile phone — which is how most of your mates will tune in via YouTube or Facebook on a Saturday afternoon. The live score displays as a clean overlay at the top of the screen — target, runs, wickets, and overs — over the full pitch view below.
- ✓Score overlay at the top — target, runs-wickets, overs
- ✓Full pitch visible below the score
- ✓Best for mobile viewers on YouTube & Facebook
- ✓Ideal for Sunday knockabouts and park cricket
Portrait output — score overlay at the top
