# 🏏 Cricket Live Score Updates

Real-time cricket score updates delivered to Telegram — with optional voice memos so you can follow along without reading. Scrapes data from cricbuzz and does not need any API key setup to get the scores. 

Supports T20 and ODI formats, both innings, auto-detection of teams, target, and required run rate.

The script runs in the background, sends updates at your chosen interval, and auto-stops when the match ends.

The voice memos are perfect for when you're driving or otherwise can't focus on a screen.

## Example prompts

**Starting updates:**
- "Send me live score updates for the India vs Australia match"
- "Follow the IPL match — RCB vs CSK — and send me updates every 3 minutes"
- "What's the score in the England vs Pakistan T20? Keep me posted"

**With voice memos:**
- "Send me live cricket scores with voice memos for the World Cup final"
- "Follow India vs South Africa and include voice updates — I'm driving"

**Changing interval:**
- "Make the updates every 2 minutes instead"
- "Slow it down to every 10 minutes"

**Stopping:**
- "Stop sending score updates"
- "Kill the cricket updates"

## When to use
