Cricket World Cup: Digital Coverage Planned for Fans

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a series of digital activations for cricket’s flagship event, the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. It will give fans the opportunities to engage with the event, the legends of the game and the players.

At the core of all these activations is the rebranded official website. The website, which is fully responsive in design, adapting to all devices, includes features like the brand new ICC CWC 2015 Match Centre.

The Match Centre, powered by SAP HANA and Analytics tool, will have the live scores available anywhere online and will also provide real time statistics and insights using live and historical ICC Cricket World Cup data to deliver in-depth match analysis to fans around the world. The Match Centre will also be available on the official tournament app.
