About Cricombo — cricket schedule, results & predictions

What is Cricombo?

Cricombo is a free cricket hub that combines the day's schedule, live scores, results and AI match predictions in one place. We cover the IPL and every major T20 league right down to smaller competitions the bigger sites overlook, so you get a full fixtures list and a prediction for each match without paywalls or sign-up.

How does Cricombo predict cricket matches?

Each prediction blends several independent models — machine learning, an editorial maths model and AI analysis — alongside the live bookmaker line. We factor in the confirmed playing XI, head-to-head history, recent team form and venue stats, then publish win probabilities for both sides before the match starts.

Are the predictions free?

Yes, every prediction on Cricombo is completely free. There is no subscription, no paywall and no account required — open any match to see its win probabilities, playing XI and preview.

How accurate are the predictions?

After each game we publish a full scorecard and report showing exactly how the prediction held up, so accuracy is transparent rather than a claim. Predictions are probabilistic — they estimate each side's chance of winning, not a guaranteed outcome — and work best across many matches rather than any single game.

Which cricket leagues and formats does Cricombo cover?

Cricombo covers the Indian Premier League (IPL), T20 Blast, Big Bash League, Super Smash, Pakistan Super League, the Caribbean Premier League and internationals, plus women's cricket. We also add smaller tournaments that mainstream score sites skip, so the schedule stays complete.

Where do the live scores and schedule come from?

The home page shows today's fixtures with live scores that update automatically as matches play out, plus a calendar to jump to any past or upcoming day. Past days show full results and scorecards; upcoming days show the schedule with pre-match predictions.
