Full Data Download of the Cricket Database, Coming This Week. T20, ODI and Test, Ball by Ball.
Published: August 24, 2026
For cricket data analysts. Coming this week on Tigzig.
Full data download of the cricket database. T20, ODI and Test, ball by ball. 6,900+ matches from 2001 onwards, 3.8 million deliveries.
Parquet and CSV. Pull the whole thing in a single API call, or download it from the web page. Same setup as the mutual fund NAV data, if you have used that one.
The live SQL access stays exactly as it is. Postgres or DuckDB, REST API or MCP server, running today and going nowhere.
Free, no signup, no key.
Data source: Cricsheet, ODC-BY 1.0.
A bit more on what you will get
- Four tables, each as its own file. Three ball-by-ball tables, one per format, and match_info with the two team names, venue, dates, toss, result, the match officials where Cricsheet records them, and the player of the match.
- Parquet, gzipped CSV, zipped CSV. Individual files.
- DuckDB and SQLite. The all-tables option.
The live SQL access, running today
Nothing here changes. Query it in place over the REST API or through the MCP server, on Postgres or DuckDB.
