About Criconic

One cricket app for everyone at the ground

Criconic is where grassroots cricket gets scored, followed, organized and broadcast. The scorer taps each ball — and from that, fans get a live scorecard, organizers get their points table, streamers get TV-style graphics, and every player gets a career record. Free to score, free to view.

Our story

You played the match. You shouldn't pay to see how you did.

Every weekend, thousands of matches are played on turf boxes, school grounds and matting wickets — and most of them are still kept in a paper scorebook, a spreadsheet or a WhatsApp group that nobody can find a month later.

The apps that do exist tend to put the good stuff — wagon wheels, pitch maps, detailed career numbers — behind a subscription. We think that's backwards.

Criconic gives a Sunday-league match the same live scorecard, analysis and broadcast graphics as a televised one, and keeps every player's record free to see.

Free where it matters

Scoring, scorecards, career stats, wagon wheels, pitch maps and stream overlays cost ₹0. You played the match — you should never pay to see how you did.

Built for the boundary rope

One person, one phone, bright sun and a patchy signal. Big buttons, one tap a ball, and the mobile app keeps scoring even when the network drops.

Numbers you can trust

Fair-play checks keep fake matches out of the record, so a century on Criconic means someone actually scored it.

The cricket you actually play

Tennis ball or leather, turf box or matting wicket, a 2-over duel or a 5-day Test — the rules follow your match, not the other way round.

How it fits together

One match, five people, zero paperwork

Everyone works from the same match. The scorer records it once and Criconic shares it with everyone else, live.

For players & fans

Your cricket career, recorded ball by ball

Every player added to a team gets a Criconic profile. When a match you play in is scored, every ball goes onto your record on its own — nobody has to type up your stats afterwards.

Fans don't need an account at all. Open a scorecard link and follow the match live, ball by ball, from anywhere.

For scorers

Score a whole match with one thumb

Everything on Criconic starts with the scorer. You tap what happened on each ball, and the scorecard, commentary, charts, player stats and stream overlay are all built from those taps.

Strike rotation, overs, run rates, targets and partnerships are worked out for you — so you can watch the cricket instead of doing sums.

Good to know
  • Only the person who created the match, the co-scorers they add from match settings in the Criconic app, and the organizers of its tournament can score it. Everyone else can watch, not change.
  • One phone scores at a time. If a second scorer opens the match, they ask to take over instead of scoring over each other.
  • Commentary is written automatically for every ball — there's nothing extra to type.

For streamers & broadcasters

Make your local match look like it's on TV

Streaming on YouTube or Facebook? Criconic gives you a live scoreboard graphic that sits on top of your camera feed. It's a web link you add to your streaming app, and it changes the moment your scorer taps.

No designer, no green screen and no extra hardware — your streaming app sends the video, Criconic draws the graphics.

For ground commentators

Everything to say on the mic, as it happens

At a local tournament the commentator is at the ground with a PA mic. Criconic gives them a live console: the score and the chase, what just happened, and the facts worth saying next — updated with every ball the scorer taps.

Organizers add commentators to one match or to a whole tournament. Commentators see everything but can't change the score.

Fair play

Stats only mean something if they're real

Free stats are only worth having if nobody can fake them. Every finished match goes through automatic checks, and anything unusual is looked at by a person.

  1. 1Suspicious matches are flagged automatically
  2. 2The Criconic team reviews each flag
  3. 3Confirmed fake matches are removed from career stats
  4. 4The match organizer can appeal a flag, and stats come back if it's cleared

Your record stays real

A fifty on Criconic is a fifty someone actually scored, so your stats carry weight when you share them.

A person makes the call

Nothing is removed on an automatic hunch. Every flagged match is reviewed by the Criconic team first.

Honest players aren't outdone

Confirmed fake matches are taken out of career stats, so made-up numbers can't push past real ones.

It never gets in the way

Checks happen in the background after the match. Scoring and viewing are never slowed down or blocked.
