Yahoo! India launches cricket app for Windows Phone users

MUMBAI: Digital media company, Yahoo! India, has launched a cricket app for Windows Phone users in India.

The app is available for free on the Windows Marketplace. It offers a slew of features and user-friendly interaction for the user to follow live matches, and also keep a tab on the recent and upcoming ones.

It offers a complete match experience in a variety of ways –with 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 specially created photo galleries, latest news articles on the game, player and team profiles, as well as results of completed matches, and schedules of upcoming ones.

It has been developed at the R&D centre in Bangalore and is the third cricket app released by Yahoo!. The earlier apps were built for iPhone and Android.
