Audience Psychology
Real-time engagement, tribal fandom, desire for play-by-play updates, and habitual match-following especially among diaspora and cricket fans in the U.S.
Possible Next Development
Continued live-score spikes during match windows, production of highlight reels and post-match analysis, and social sharing of key moments driving secondary spikes.
Caveat
