COMECheck a cricket score's source and update time
A cricket score needs a source, match identity and update time. A familiar graphic can remain online long after the match it depicts.
Identify the exact match
Confirm both teams, the competition and the fixture date. Teams can meet more than once, and a search result may show an earlier match. Use the innings and venue where necessary to distinguish similar listings.
Read the freshness cues
Look for the current status and the most recent update. A screenshot freezes one moment; refreshing the browser cannot update the numbers inside that image. A score widget and an image of a scorecard behave differently.
Resolve conflicting displays
If two pages differ, compare their timestamps and match identity before assuming either score is wrong. Delays and cached views can explain discrepancies. Use the competition's current result or scorecard for the final match summary.
A useful next step
Follow the IPL page's competition link and verify the fixture before quoting a score.
