About us
Built at the boundary rope.
Most cricket isn't played in stadiums. It's played on maidans, school grounds, office leagues and society box courts — and it deserves a proper scoreboard and a live broadcast too. That's why CricStream exists.
“TV cricket had scorebugs, tickers and live streams. Local cricket had a notebook.”WHY WE STARTED
CricStream started with a familiar match-day mess: the score kept on paper, typed again into a group chat, and everyone who couldn't make it to the ground missing every ball.
So we built one app that does the whole job from the ground. Score each ball with a run pad made for one thumb. Put that score on a live YouTube stream, straight from the same phone. Let anyone follow along with a six-character code. Then came tournaments, so organisers could stop juggling spreadsheets and WhatsApp polls.
Every feature is built for real grounds — patchy networks, low batteries, the scorer standing at square leg. That's why streams reconnect on their own, keep going in the background on Android, and why the run pad has a big Undo button.
