Cricket API

UPGRADE - New Data Source

Release Date	Benefit
09/28/2023	We have upgraded our data source that powers the Cricket v2 API. Following this upgrade, the data within our Cricket v2 API is official for ICC, ECB and Caribbean Premier League. Our Cricket Content Strategy document details which competitions will be covered by our official data. The new dataset will also include each of the below features: - Custom-designed for cricket with multi-mode capability to ensure the lowest latency in the market. - Unique fielding data points exclusive to Sportradar - Ball tracking for shot and delivery, type coding and AI-powered automated text commentary. - Automated system monitoring platform redundancy to ensure reliable, uninterrupted service. While we mapped out our new data to our existing attributes, there are some attributes that we will not be replacing. Details of this can be found in the Cricket Data Points Mapping document. Additionally, commentary will now be computer generated. Please see some examples below from a single over: - Back of a length from Boult, pitching outside off stump. Gaikwad moves onto the back foot and punches a drive on the off side for a single run. Quality work in the field by Neesham prevents a certain boundary. - FOUR! Full, on a good line. Du Plessis gets on the front foot and drives straight down the ground for four runs. - OUT! Caught. Boult drops one in short, pitching outside off. Du Plessis moves onto the back foot and edges and is caught by Pandya. - On a good length, outside off stump once again. Ali gets forward and plays a defensive stroke through the off side. The throw by de Kock is terrific. Mumbai Indians appeal for a run-out, and it’s referred to the third umpire for review. The replay shows the batter made it in safely. - SIX! Dropped in short by Boult, pitching outside leg and angling across. Ali rocks back, and hooks for a half dozen runs behind square. - Pitching on a good line and length. Ali moves onto the back foot and is hit on the pads while attempting to play a defensive stroke. Mumbai Indians appeal for LBW, however, umpire Ananthapadmanabhan gives Ali not out. Mumbai Indians call for a review. DRS comes back as an umpire’s call, and Ali is not out.
