How to Check Today's Match Live Score

Updated

To check today's match live score, open a live cricket score service such as Cricinfo, find the match marked live in today's schedule, and open its match page. That page shows the running score, the current innings, and the batters and bowlers at the crease, with ball-by-ball commentary for each update. This works for any format — Test, ODI, or T20 — as long as the match is in progress and you have a working connection.

Steps to find and follow a live score

  1. Open a live score service. Go to Cricinfo (cricinfo.com) or its app. The homepage is built around live cricket scores, match details, and updates, so today's fixtures are the first thing you see.
  2. Locate today's matches. Look for the day's match list on the homepage or the schedule page. Matches currently being played are labelled live; finished ones show a result, and upcoming ones show a start time.
  3. Open the match. Click the live match to reach its detail page. This is where the full scorecard and commentary live.
  4. Read the key numbers. On the match page you can see the live score, the current innings, and the active batters and bowlers. For a chase, the required run rate and runs needed usually sit alongside the score.
  5. Track each delivery. Use the ball-by-ball commentary feed to follow the match over by over. This is more precise than the headline score, which only changes after each ball or over.

What each part of the page tells you

Element What it shows
Live score Runs and wickets for the batting side
Current innings Which team is batting and which innings the match is in
Batters / bowlers Who is at the crease and who is bowling
Ball-by-ball commentary A running description of each delivery
Result / status Whether the match is live, finished, or yet to start

If the score is not updating

  • Refresh the page. Some views update automatically, but a manual refresh forces the latest data.
  • Check your connection. A dropped or slow network is the most common reason a live score appears frozen.
  • Confirm the match is still live. If it has ended, the page switches from a live score to a result, and the numbers stop changing.
  • Check the match status line. Rain delays, innings breaks, and intervals pause scoring even though the match has not finished.

Choosing where to follow

Cricinfo is a reasonable default because live scores, ball-by-ball commentary, and video highlights sit in one place, and the same service covers international and domestic series. If you only need the headline score, the homepage list is enough; if you want to follow a session delivery by delivery, open the match page and stay on the commentary feed.
