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.

How it works
  1. 1
    Pick the teams

    Choose both sides and their playing squads — or create a team on the spot.

  2. 2
    Set the match

    Format, overs, power play, ball type, pitch, venue and tournament round.

  3. 3
    Record the toss

    Who won it and whether they chose to bat or bowl.

  4. 4
    Choose openers & bowler

    Then the scoring screen opens and you're live.

Every delivery

  • 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 in one tap, plus custom runs like 5 or 7
  • Wide, no-ball, bye and leg-bye, each with extra runs
  • Bonus or penalty runs for either side
  • Strike changes and over changes handled automatically

Every way of getting out

  • Bowled, caught, caught & bowled, LBW, stumped, hit wicket
  • Run out — choose the batter, the fielders and runs completed
  • Mankad and hit the ball twice
  • Retired, retired hurt (can bat again) and retired out

Fix it without fuss

  • Undo the last ball — again and again, even back into the last innings
  • Change strike, change the bowler or replace a batter
  • Add or remove players from a squad mid-match
  • Bring on a substitute and move the player's stats across

Shot tracking

  • Tap where the ball pitched and where it was hit
  • Right- and left-handed batters supported
  • Skip any ball you missed, or switch tracking off
  • Feeds the wagon wheel and pitch map on the scorecard

Finishing the game

  • End the innings, or end the match early and pick the result
  • Tied? Start a super over — as many as you need
  • Test matches: declare, call stumps, offer the follow-on, draw

In the Criconic app

  • Offline scoring — keep going with no signal, it syncs later
  • No duplicate balls when the connection comes back
  • DLS par-score calculator for rain-reduced chases
  • Pick players straight from your phone contacts

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.
  • Commentary is written automatically for every ball — there's nothing extra to type.
For tournament organizers

Run your league without the spreadsheet

Create a tournament, bring in the teams and schedule the matches. As each league match is scored, the points table, net run rate and leaderboards update on their own — no WhatsApp arguments about who's through.

Your tournament gets its own public page, so teams, players and fans always know the fixtures, results and standings.

How it works
  1. 1
    Create the tournament

    Name, location, dates, ball type, banner, logo and your rules from a ready-made list.

  2. 2
    Bring in the teams

    Add them yourself, or let captains scan your tournament QR to join.

  3. 3
    Schedule matches round by round

    League, knockout, quarter-final, qualifier, eliminator, final — or your own round name.

  4. 4
    Let the scoring do the rest

    Results, points, NRR and top performers update after every match.

Your tournament page

  • Matches — live, upcoming and finished
  • Points table with wins, losses, points and NRR
  • Batting and bowling leaderboards
  • Teams, plus an About & Rules tab

Standings that keep themselves

  • 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or drawn Test
  • Sorted by points, then net run rate
  • Only league-round matches count, so knockouts don't skew it

Branding & sponsors

  • Tournament banner, logo, highlights and links
  • Sponsor logos and names on your tournament page
  • Sponsor ads pushed to every match's stream overlay
  • Your own FAQ for teams and fans

Teams & squads

  • Team QR codes so players join themselves
  • Add players by search or mobile number
  • Team profiles with win %, toss record and leaderboards
  • Hand a team over to a new owner when captains change

Stay in control

  • Public or private — private tournaments can't be joined by others
  • Edit details any time, or cancel the tournament
  • Tournament organizers can score every match in it

Spread the word

  • Share the tournament on WhatsApp in one tap
  • One stream link for every match in the tournament
  • Every match scorecard is a shareable public link
Good to know
  • You add each match and label its round, so Criconic fits round robins, groups or straight knockouts — however your league is set up.
For streamers & broadcasters

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.
