Cricket news, scores and analysis from Africa and beyond

Cricket changes fast — one over can rewrite a match and one selection can reshape a team.

If you care about African cricket or global tournaments, this tag puts fixtures, match reports, and smart takes in one place.

We cover Test, ODI and T20 action, from national sides like South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Kenya to club and franchise cricket that matters to the continent.

Expect score updates, short match recaps, player form notes, and quick explainers that help you understand the turning points.

Want live scores and broadcasts?

We link to official streams and regional broadcasters where possible, plus reliable live score pages so you can follow any game in real time.

On match days, check this tag for minute-by-minute highlights or a short wrap once the final ball falls.

Prefer audio? Look for our short podcasts and post-match interviews with local players and coaches whenever available.

Looking for context, not just headlines?

Our pieces explain why a selection was bold, why a pitch favored spinners, or why a captain's decision turned a game.

You'll also find profiles on rising African talent, tracking careers from domestic cricket to international call-ups.

We keep tabs on the women's game too — coverage that points to who's breaking through and which teams are investing in women's cricket development.

Curious about tournaments? This tag follows regional qualifiers, ICC events, franchise leagues with African players, and big international series that affect rankings and World Cup spots.

We don't just report results; we highlight the matches that matter for qualification and for player careers.

New to reading cricket stats? Our quick guides decode scorecards and common terms like run rate, strike rate, overs, and DLS so you can follow conversations without getting lost.

For fans who bet or fantasy-manage, we offer form-based observations and injury updates — clear facts, not speculation — to help you make smarter choices.
