What is Cloud Based Cricket Management Software?
Cloud Based Cricket Management Software refers to the tools, workflows and software that cricket organisers, scorers and clubs use to run modern matches end-to-end. Run & Ball is a free, mobile-first cloud based cricket management software built specifically for the conditions teams in Pakistan, India, UAE and the wider South-Asian cricket world actually play in — tape ball, gully, T10, T20, F5 and traditional formats.
Why teams choose Run & Ball
- Works offline. Score a full match with zero internet, then sync to the cloud the moment you're back online.
- Free to start. No per-match fee, no club subscription required to score.
- Built for tape ball and gully cricket as well as hardball formats — most technology in cricket tools only cover club cricket.
- Live overlays for streaming to YouTube, Facebook and OBS, the same broadcast quality used by professional leagues.
