BANGALORE: Internet giant Yahoo on Thursday announced the launch of a cricket app for Windows Phone users in India. The app, available for free on the Windows marketplace offers a slew of features and user-friendly interaction for the user to follow live matches, and also keep a tab on the recent and upcoming ones, the company said in a statement.

According to Yahoo India, the app will have live scores, detailed ball-by-ball commentary which can be filtered by wickets, 4s and 6s; an interactive score card which allows the user to browse through the batting line up, fall of wickets and a complete chronology of how a match progressed.
