NEW DELHI: Cashing in on the opportunity, Paytm has begun showing live cricket score updates for IPL 2018.
The scores are available on the homescreen of the Paytm app and will continue to appear across all major domestic and international cricket tournaments following the ongoing T20 tournament.
Initially, only Android users will be able to avail the new development and it will also debut on iOS as well. Additionally, Paytm has partnered with IPL teams Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils teams as their exclusive official online ticketing partner.
Apart from that, they are also the official Umpire Partner for the IPL for the next five years.
Much like traditional cricket apps, the Paytm app offers ball-by-ball updates of IPL matches. It shows details on the part of runs, wickets, and overs for both teams on a single section. On why the app, which is renowned for offering a mobile wallet, has started showing cricket updates, Paytm says that the new move is a step in the direction to offer more value to its customers and will let millions of its users “stay abreast with all the cricketing action globally”.
“Cricket is a religion in our country. Every cricket fan wants to stay abreast with the latest scores and updates. This is the reason why we are excited to offer live cricket score updates through our mobile app. With this new feature, millions of Paytm users can follow their favourite team and get instant score updates on any ongoing cricket match, without using any other app for it,” said Kiran Vasireddy, COO – Paytm, in a statement while announcing the new experience.
Cricket fans can also get cashback offers on purchase of match tickets, cricket merchandise, and flight, train, or bus tickets available for all venues where IPL matches are being played.
