GROS ISLET, SAINT LUCIA & ST. GALLEN, SWITZERLAND – 29 September 2022: Sportradar (NASDAQ: SRAD) today announced a new partnership deal with the Caribbean Premier League Ltd to capture and distribute an extensive level of cricket data.

Following a competitive tender process, Sportradar is now the Official Data Partner, Official Betting Streaming Partner, and Official Integrity Partner of the Hero Caribbean Premier League, Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League and the SKYEXCH 6IXTY men’s and women’s competitions.

Cricket is one of the world’s most popular sports, with an estimated annual betting turnover of €80 billion globally.

By utilising the company’s media and betting products and services and leveraging its technical capabilities, Sportradar will provide customers with more data-points from each Caribbean Premier League match than before. Sportradar will also offer audio visual streaming content from 38 Caribbean Premier League men’s and women’s matches and 19 6IXTY men’s and women’s matches each year.

Additionally, Sportradar is providing the Caribbean Premier League with a new Match Centre and embeddable components for the tournament website. The Match Centre delivers live scores, ball-by-ball commentary, match summaries, scorecards and visual insights, while the embeddable components include a match ticker, match listings and standings. Uniquely, the ball-by-ball text commentary is automatically populated using artificial intelligence from the live data collected by the company.
