Did you swear off watching cricket at some point during the World Cup 2015 but were still up at 3am to witness four Pakistani batsmen slumping for just one single run on the board?
Are you still supporting the greens in the hope that they will pull off another March 1992?
Would you rather not step away from your TV screen on Sunday, 1 March, 2015?
More importantly, will you be on the move for any of the upcoming Pakistan matches?
If all your answers to the above questions were in the affirmative then, it is for you that I have decided to review various live World Cup match streaming and scorecard applications available on the market, and point out how they can be accessed. The list is as follows:
Streaming Applications:
Mobilink TV
Of the various applications available from different mobile network operators, this is perhaps the best, owing to the options it provides. It has more than just the sports channels to offer, and is targeted towards the general streaming enthusiasts rather than just cricket fans.
However, the application is limited to the Mobilink users only, and you cannot use WIFI to access the application. The package costs ten rupees per day (1 GB data limit) for prepaid users. The price is relatively higher than the competitors, but I feel that is justified due to the higher number of channels on offer.
The colours used in the application seem out of a shoddy restaurant adorned for Valentine celebrations, but then those are the general colours of Mobilink. The downside of the application, besides the limitation of it's access to Mobilink network alone, is the occasional faulty streaming, perhaps because of the varying strength of the 3G network itself.
Positive: More channels and user-friendly interface.
Negative: The higher price and the fact that it is available only for Android users.
