The sport is most famous in countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Australia. Although the sport originated in the United Kingdom, it is way too much followed in the Asian countries.

Nevertheless, the craze for cricket has directed many fans to various apps that are used to check their favourite team's scores. Most of the users don't like missing out on any of their team's matches, however, sometimes they just couldn't watch it live. In such cases, applications that provide live cricket scores are beneficial. Listed below are different applications that can be used as the best way to get real-time updates on live cricket scores.

The Cricketer creates dedicated online hubs for major tournaments including player profiles, ground guides and information on past performances.

Cricbuzz

The most famous application for the cricket fanatics to keep a check on their favourite team's upcoming events and even the ongoing matches. Cricbuzz is similar to smartcric and has become increasingly popular since its launch back in 2004. 

Their app provides a clean user interface, along with a ton of other features including ball-by-ball commentary, latest news related to cricket, upcoming matches schedule, player and team statistics, and a lot of other features. Users can follow ever major cricket tournament on the app.

CricLine

If intuitive user interface and smooth navigation is not your thing, you will love the simple UI provided by CricLine. The application has solid features and covers a very broad range of international matches, tournaments, and leagues for a number of different teams. 

Although there shouldn't be much that you can expect from this app, but as far as scoring is concerned, the app does a pretty good job. Rest, it contains advertisements which can get a little annoying after a while.

CricSmith

This application is good for cricket lovers who love to have quick updates on their favourite matches. CricSmith has a clean user interface, along with intuitive functions that the users can leverage to get the most out of this app. 

Additionally, CricSmith provides customized notifications, player statistics, cricket related news, and other features. The application does not have an outstanding performance; however, it is pretty good to use if all you want to do, is check the latest score of your favourite team.

ESPN Cricinfo

Probably one of the most amazing applications dedicated to the cricketing world. Cricinfo stands out from the lot in every aspect be it ball-by-ball commentary, player and team stats, live scores, latest news, video highlights, and a lot more additional features. 

The app also has a tantalizing user interface that you actually expect from an official app of ESPN. There aren't many issues with this app aside from some of the network connectivity ones. Rest, Cricinfo is definitely a go-to destination for the cricket fanatics.

ICC

Yes. International Cricket Council has an app of its own that it uses to spread every bit of information that is currently happening across the cricketing world. This is the official app by ICC so you can expect it to have live score updates, coverage of a broad range of tournament and series. 

Apart from that this app offers commentary, detailed statistics, video highlights, and a lot more cricket-related content that is enough to quench the thirst of any cricket fan out there. Finally, the ICC app also has a slick user interface and is also free from advertisements floating around your screen.

OneCricket

This app is not quite out there, meaning, it is not as popular as other giants such as Cricbuzz, ICC, etc. OneCricket does what it promises, and you can expect features like live score updates and detailed support for a variety of cricket tournaments. 

One unique feature of this app is that it allows the users to pin their favourite games so that they can access the matches quickly. This feature is something that makes it stand out from the lot. However, unlike other apps, this does not have the ball-by-ball commentary feature which is the only downside that we can spot.

Live Line

Live Line includes a broad range of tournaments consisting of both men's and women's international matches. Users also get the ability to view matches from all three major game types. 

The score updates are quick, along with an added advantage of going with ball-by-ball commentary, trivia, video highlights, match polls, and even a news section. The app also has a leader board to display the names of the users who can predict the matches as they progress. 

There are plenty of other applications that are useful in updating you about the live score of a particular match. However, we have chosen the best ones that you can reference above. All these apps offer their services for free, but some may include a subscription fee if you want to explore more features of their app. Even if not, these apps won't disappoint you with their free version.
