Reimagining how Pakistan follows live cricket

From 2016 we designed Cricingif's brand, web platform and mobile apps: live scores, highlights, stats and news for cricket fans, in one place.

The brief

Fans wanted the match, the score and the story in one place. Cricingif wanted to ship it fast.

Shahid Rasool and Qasim Zafar founded Cricingif in 2015. A year later they brought us in as a design partner that could extend their team, release features quickly and give the product a new design language, with the goal of becoming Pakistan's best cricket platform.

In the client's words

“Designing with Venture Republic was pure product-design bliss.”

Their passion for redefining cricket experiences allowed us to design and functionality at the edge. From crafting an intuitive interface to visually narrating live cricket excitement, it's been a journey of pure synergy. Working with Venture Republic only reinforced the belief that exceptional design stems from exceptional collaboration and a great team!

Key decisions

Five decisions behind the product

01

Put the live match at the centre

The live match page puts the score, the stream, highlights and commentary on one screen, so fans never have to leave the match to check a stat.

02

Every match one tap from the schedule

Upcoming, live and completed matches sit in one schedule, filtered by series and team, with live matches flagged at the top of each day.

The full scorecard, ball by ball

Batting and bowling detail for every innings, so fans can relive the moments they missed, on desktop and on the phone.

Players and teams as destinations

Player profiles carry stat sheets and rankings, and team pages gather squads, fixtures and video, designed to turn a quick score check into a longer visit.

News and video in the same feed

Stories, video highlights and match coverage share one homepage, so fans who arrive for a score stay for the story behind it.

A brand made for highlights
