UI Design Ideas
- Scorecard display: Show runs/wickets format: “India 185/6 (20 ov)” — not just a number
- Innings tabs: For Tests, show tabs for each innings (1st Innings, 2nd Innings per team)
- Run rate graph: Use
/match/{id}/graph— show required rate vs actual rate for chases - Playing XI: Use
/match/{id}/lineups— show batting order, bowlers, keeper, captain - Batting & bowling cards: Individual batting (runs, balls, 4s, 6s, SR) and bowling (overs, maidens, runs, wickets, economy)
- Man of the Match: Use
/match/{id}/award— always awarded in cricket - Format indicator: Always show T20/ODI/Test prominently — changes how to interpret scores
- H2H records: Important in rivalries (India vs Pakistan, Ashes) — use
/match/{id}/h2h
