Cricket API - Match Result Descriptions

We added a result description for each cricket match in our Cricket API. This text description succinctly summarizes each result, without the need to parse any other values on your end.

Use the new match_result_text attribute (within sport_event_status) to access the result description.

Ex. Oval Invincibles won by 6 wickets or London Spirit won by 17 runs
