Nepal Cricket Live Score: Best Apps & Sites to Follow
An evergreen guide to following Nepal cricket live scores — the best apps, websites, TV channels and official sources for ball-by-ball updates and commentary.
Whether you are in the stands at Kirtipur or following from the other side of the world, a Nepal match is never more than a tap away.

When a Nepal match is under way, you want the Nepal cricket live score in front of you fast — ideally with ball-by-ball commentary and a full scorecard. The good news is that following the national team has never been easier, whether you are sitting in the stands at Kirtipur, watching from a café in Kathmandu, or keeping up from abroad. This evergreen guide rounds up the best apps, websites, official channels and TV options for live scores, so you can pick the sources that suit you and never miss a delivery.
Key takeaways
- ESPNcricinfo and Cricbuzz are the two go-to global apps for live scores and commentary, and both cover Nepal.
- For Nepal-focused coverage, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) app and cricnepal.com add domestic matches and local detail.
- The official source is CAN — its website, app, verified social accounts and YouTube channel.
- TV coverage in Nepal runs through sports-carrying channels such as Kantipur Max HD for selected events.
- Text live scores use very little data and work on modest connections; video streaming needs a stronger link.
- Live video rights vary by country, so the legal streaming option depends on where you are.
The best apps for live scores
For most fans, a dedicated cricket app is the quickest way to follow a match in real time. Two stand out globally.
ESPNcricinfo
ESPNcricinfo is the most comprehensive cricket resource anywhere, and it maintains a dedicated Nepal team page with live scores, ball-by-ball commentary, full scorecards, squads and results. During a match you get the running score, fall of wickets and over-by-over detail; afterwards, the archive of past results is unmatched. It is an ideal default for both Nepal's internationals and major tournaments.
Cricbuzz
Cricbuzz is the other heavyweight, popular for its fast-loading live scores, clean commentary feed and match notifications. Set an alert for a Nepal fixture and your phone will buzz with key moments — wickets, milestones and the result. Like ESPNcricinfo, it is free to use for scores and commentary.
Both apps are available on Android and iOS and through their websites, so you are covered whatever device you carry.
Nepal-focused websites and apps
Global apps are excellent for international fixtures, but for the full Nepali cricket picture — including domestic competitions that the big sites cover lightly — local sources come into their own.
- Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) app and website — CAN is the official governing body, and its app offers news, fixtures and, during matches, ball-by-ball updates. The website at cricketnepal.org.np is the authoritative home for announcements and event pages.
- cricnepal.com — a Nepal-specific cricket site with a match centre providing live scores, ball-by-ball updates, fixtures and results, plus news tailored to the local audience.
- Other local sports platforms — several Nepali sports sites and apps aggregate live scores and offer coverage of domestic tournaments such as the Nepal Premier League and the Prime Minister Cup.
These are the sources to lean on when you want depth on Nepal's own season rather than just the national team's international games.
Official channels worth following
Going straight to the source has two advantages: accuracy and speed. The Cricket Association of Nepal runs the official channels for the national team, and they are often the first to confirm squads, schedules and results.
- CAN website and app — the definitive record for fixtures and announcements.
- CAN social media — verified accounts post live updates and news, frequently ahead of third-party sites.
- CAN's official YouTube channel — carries video content around matches, including highlights and, for some events, streams.
Following these directly is the best way to avoid misinformation, which can spread quickly on unofficial pages during big games.
Watching on television
If you prefer the broadcast experience, television remains a strong option inside Nepal. Sports-carrying channels such as Kantipur Max HD show selected matches and tournaments, and coverage tends to ramp up for major events and home internationals.
One important caveat: broadcast rights vary by tournament and by territory. Which channel (if any) carries a given match depends on the rights deal for that event, so the safest approach is to check local TV listings or CAN's announcements in the days before a match rather than assuming a fixed channel. For ICC global events, separate international broadcasters hold the rights in each region.
Following Nepal cricket from abroad
Nepal's large diaspora means plenty of fans are watching from overseas, and the approach there is slightly different.
- Live scores and commentary are simple: ESPNcricinfo or Cricbuzz work the same everywhere, so you always have the score and over-by-over detail.
- News and official updates are best taken from CAN's channels.
- Live video is the variable part — streaming rights for ICC events and bilateral series are sold country by country, so the legal way to watch depends on your location. Check which broadcaster or streaming service holds the rights where you live.
This split — universal text coverage, region-specific video — is worth remembering wherever you are in the world.
Following from the ground or on the move
If you are lucky enough to be at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, you will not need an app to feel the atmosphere — but a live scorecard on your phone still helps you track the finer detail amid the drums and flags. Catching a match here is one of the more memorable things to do in Kathmandu, and the crowd's energy says a lot about modern Nepali culture.
A practical note on connectivity: text-based live scores use very little data and hold up well on modest connections, which makes them perfect for Nepal. Video streaming, by contrast, needs a far stronger and steadier link. If you plan to stream, a reliable local connection helps — our guides to the best SIM card for Nepal and to Wi-Fi in Nepal cover your options.
Putting it together
For the smoothest experience, most fans end up using a small combination rather than a single source:
- ESPNcricinfo or Cricbuzz for the live score, commentary and scorecard.
- CAN's app and channels for official news and confirmation.
- cricnepal.com for Nepal-specific depth and domestic matches.
- TV (where available) when you want the full broadcast.
