Hey devs and cricket fans! 👋

I’m excited to share my latest personal project — a Cricket Scorecard Dashboard App that brings the thrill of live match scoring to the browser, built using Angular and JSON Server. If you’ve ever wanted to simulate a cricket match or build your own scoring app, this might be just the inspiration you need!

⚙️ What Is It?

This app is a real-time, match scoring dashboard designed for cricket match admins and scorers. From setting up teams to selecting players, scoring ball by ball, and generating commentary — it does everything you'd expect from a professional scoring system.

✨ Key Features

✅ Match Setup & Player Selection

Create a new match
Choose striker, non-striker, and opening bowler

✅ Score Updates

Update runs using buttons (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, OUT)
All stats update in real-time

✅ Dismissal Handling

Support for various OUT types
Select the fielder for catches or runouts

✅ Live Commentary Generator

Automatically generates commentary for each delivery
Feels like Cricbuzz/Cricinfo 😄

✅ Innings Transition

Alert appears after 1st innings
Lets you switch bowler and batsmen for the next team

✅ Match Predictions

1st Innings: Predict final score from current run rate
2nd Innings: Show required run rate to win

✅ Partnership Tracker

Shows the current runs added by the batting pair

🛠 Tech Stack

Layer	Technology
Frontend	Angular 16+
Backend	JSON Server (Mock API)

⚠️ Important Detail

To begin every match fresh, you have to clear all previous match/player data from db.json(just clear the value for example you can see other teams data). This ensures no leftover stats affect the new game.

📦 How to Run It

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/vivek1384/cricket-scorecard-app.git
cd cricket-scorecard-app
npm install
npm i -g json-server
json-server --watch db.json --port 3001
ng s

Then open your browser at: http://localhost:4200

💡 Why I Built This

As a cricket fan and frontend developer, I wanted to mix my two passions into something fun and useful. This project helped me strengthen my component communication, service integration, and reactive programming skills in Angular — while building something exciting and real-world.
