ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We are really grateful because we managed to complete our ‘Cricket Scoreboard

Control System’ project within the time given by our lecturer, Saroj Shakya. This
assignment cannot be completed without the effort and co-operation from our group
members. We also sincerely thank our lecturer of Object Oriented Programming,
Saroj Shakya for the guidance and encouragement in finishing this assignment and
also for teaching us in this course. Last but not the least, we’d like to express our
gratitude to our friends and respondents for the support and willingness to spend some
times with us to fill in the questionnaires.

ABSTRACT

Cricket is second most popular game in the world. Managing score board has been
great challenge in cricket so to overcome this challenge we have developed an
application using C++.We can easily update score and record it using this application.
It is user friendly applications where people with basic knowledge can easily handle
it. This application helps in live broadcast of score during cricket match.This was
designed with the basic tools of C++ normally graphics, strings, user defined function.

1. INTRODUCTION

1. Background Introduction

Cricket Scoreboard Control System helps in managing cricket score during cricket
match. It uses file handling to store various information regarding runs, wickets,
overs, extras, and many more. The program can display runs, wickets, names of
batsmen and bowlers, overs, extras, economy of bowler, strike rate of batsmen, etc. It
also displays the date and time of the game. It makes it easier for anybody to view the
details of the score of ongoing match at any instant of time

2. Objectives

The main objectives of our project are listed below:

 To record scores systematically.

 To provide score information during live game.

3. Scope

It can be used in school and college cricket matches .It can be used in local, national
and international matches. It is ready-to-use application for displaying scores in sports
channels during a live match. Due to its simplicity and user friendly nature, it can be a
vital application for broadcasting any cricket match.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW

Several sports channels and web pages use these kinds of software to show the live
update of scores in a cricket match.

 Scoreboard in sport channels

Generally, sports channels broadcast the live video of the match along with the
scoreboard that shows the details of scores in the match. Data are input time to
time by the broadcasters so that the score will be up-to-date.
 Scoreboard in sport related web pages
Working of the program is similar to that of sport channels. All the current update
of a match can be viewed on a single screen on these web pages with the help of
our browser.

It is because of the scoreboard programs that we can view all the details of the scores
and some other information during a live match.
3. METHODOLOGY

1. Collection Of Data
We studied the detailed structure of the cricket scoreboard from online cricket
sites such as espncricinfo.com, cricbuzz.com. We, as cricket fans, had some
knowledge about the working of the scoreboards during a match.

2. Programming Languages

The project is fully based on C++ programming language. C++ is not a purely
object-oriented language but a hybrid that contains the functionality of the C
programming language. C++ supports the concepts of OOP which are: data
abstraction (creation of classes to define objects), data encapsulation for
controlled access to object data and polymorphism. The use of classes and
objects has made it easy for work division and effective development of the
project.

3. Developing Environment

The project is developed in IDE provided by Code::Blocks. ++. Basically, an

IDE is a software application which provides a number of facilities to the
developers and computer programmers to edit, build and debug the codes.

5. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS

5.1 OUTPUT

Figure 1 Scoreboard Output

When the program is run, it asks user for all the details of the players and team. After
that the output screen is as shown in figure 1. The score of batting team is displayed
on the left side and that of bowling team in right side. The overall score is displayed at
the bottom left corner of the console window. User is repeatedly asked about the
event of the match and scoreboard shows the respective information.
6. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

6.1 Conclusion

With a due effort from all the group members the project was completed in specified
time duration. The program was first tested among the developers and was finally
with end users.

6.2 Limitations

The project was not as convenient as we expected it to be and we had to encounter

some limitations too. We couldn’t comprise all the information of a cricket match in
the scoreboard. Major limitations of our project can be summed up as below:

 Complete information of the score such as wide balls, no balls, cause

of wicket etc. are not available.
 The output is a console output.
 The user should have basic knowledge of cricket.

6.3 Future Enhancement

We have tried our very best to enhance our project with more and more features but
still there are a lot that can be added in it. Following enhancement can be done in our
project:

 Presentation of all the necessary information about the match scores.

 Using graphics in order to make the project more user friendly.
