Whether you're at work, on the commute, or anywhere without a TV, you can still follow every ball of a live cricket match in India for completely free. Here's the complete guide.
India has over 700 million smartphone users, and cricket is by far the country's most watched sport. Yet millions of people cannot always watch matches live on television — whether because of work, travel, or data restrictions. This is why live cricket score websites and apps have become so essential for Indian fans.
A good live cricket score service gives you ball-by-ball updates, the current over strip, fall of wickets, batting and bowling figures, and the current required run rate — essentially everything you need to follow a match without watching the video broadcast.
CricEdge is a free, mobile-first live cricket score website built specifically for Indian fans. It covers all formats — IPL, internationals, T20 leagues, women's cricket, and domestic cricket — with scores auto-updating every 90 seconds. No login, no download, no clutter.
What makes CricEdge stand out is speed. The site loads in under 2 seconds even on 4G, and you can install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) directly on your phone's home screen — no Play Store needed. It works like a native app without taking up storage.
The best way to follow cricket on CricEdge is to install it as a PWA on your home screen. Here's how:
Type cricedge.live in your Chrome browser address bar and open the site.
In Chrome, tap the three dots in the top right corner of the browser.
Select this option and confirm by tapping "Add". The CricEdge icon will appear on your home screen.
From now on, tap the CricEdge icon to get live cricket scores instantly — it opens in full-screen mode like an app.
On iPhone (Safari), tap the Share button → "Add to Home Screen" to install CricEdge as a PWA. It works the same way.
If you're new to following cricket via score apps, here's what the numbers mean:
Each team bats for 20 overs (120 deliveries maximum). T20 is the fastest format and produces the most exciting scoring — expect boundaries every few overs and dramatic late-innings acceleration. A total of 160+ is competitive; 180+ is strong; 200+ is exceptional.
50 overs per team, typically taking a full day to complete. ODIs have a more tactical dimension — the batting team builds through phases rather than going all-out from ball one. A score of 270+ is competitive in most conditions; 300+ is strong.
The longest and most traditional format — up to five days, with each team batting twice. Test cricket rewards patience and skill over raw power. Following Tests via a score service is particularly useful as games can swing dramatically from session to session.
The best live score sites automatically update without you needing to refresh the page. CricEdge refreshes every 90 seconds automatically in the background — you just open the page and scores keep updating.
For even more granular updates during a tense finish, you can tap into any match on CricEdge to get the live scorecard view, which shows the current over ball-by-ball with commentary updates.
Fast, free, no login. Follow every live match right now.
