Cricket – Latest News, Live Scores, and Match Guides

If you love the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd, you’re in the right place. This page pulls together everything you need to stay up to date on cricket, from scores that are happening right now to tips on where to watch the next big match.

How to Watch Cricket Live

Streaming cricket can be a bit confusing, but it’s actually pretty easy once you know the basics. In the UK, most international games land on Sky Sports or BT Sport, while domestic leagues often use the BBC or the club’s own streaming service. If you’re outside the UK, check out Sony LIV, FanCode or the official apps of the board you’re interested in – they usually offer a free trial that’s enough for a single match.

For the 2nd ODI between England and South Africa, Indian fans can tune in on Sony Sports Ten 1/2/5 or stream via Sony LIV and FanCode. The kickoff is at 5:30 PM IST, so set a reminder. If you’re on a mobile device, download the app early to avoid the last‑minute scramble for space.

Don’t forget the free options. Many countries broadcast at least one game on a national channel, and the official cricket board often streams highlights for free on YouTube. A quick search for the match name plus “highlights” will usually give you a clean clip within minutes of the final wicket.

Top Stories You Shouldn't Miss

Right now the buzz is all about the England‑South Africa ODI series. England is looking to bounce back after a 7‑wicket loss in the opener, while South Africa wants to keep the momentum. Keep an eye on the toss time (5:00 PM IST) – the decision can swing the game, especially on a pitch that favors swing bowling early on.

Another hot topic is the upcoming Wimbledon quarter‑finals. Cameron Norrie fought his way to the last eight by beating Nicolas Jarry in five sets, only to run into Carlos Alcaraz. Even if you’re not a tennis fan, the way Norrie's comeback shows mental toughness is something any sport lover can appreciate.

For those who follow club cricket, the Vertu Trophy draw put Newcastle United U21s on a road trip against Huddersfield, Mansfield, and Harrogate. All matches are away, so the young Magpies will need a solid game plan to handle the travel fatigue.

Lastly, keep your eye on transfer rumours. Bertrand Traoré’s move from Aston Villa to Sunderland sparked a lot of chatter about how his experience could lift the Championship side. While not directly cricket, these moves affect the sports world’s atmosphere and often show up in fan discussions.

Use this page as a hub: click on any headline to read the full story, check the live score ticker for up‑to‑the‑minute updates, and bookmark the streaming guide so you never miss a game. Whether you’re watching on a big screen or catching highlights on your phone, you’ll always be in the loop.
