Yahoo India has launched a cricket app for Windows Phone users in India. The app, available for free on the Windows Marketplace allows users to follow live matches, and also keep a tab on the recent and upcoming ones.
The app offers live scores, detailed ball-by-ball commentary which can be filtered by wickets, 4s and 6s; an interactive score card which allows the user to browse through the batting line up, fall of wickets and a complete chronology of how a match progressed. On a non-match day, the app will connect the user to photo-galleries, latest news articles on the game, player and team profiles, as well as results of completed matches, and schedules of upcoming ones.
Developed at the R&D centre in Bangalore, this is the third cricket app released by Yahoo, following the earlier apps built for iPhone and Android. Yahoo claims that its Android app has seen 11,000 downloads within 10 days of launch.
