Partner in 7-year agreement
CricViz, the global leader in cricket data and analytics, has been appointed by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) as its official Performance Analysis and Scoring Partner. The seven-year agreement, commencing ahead of the 2025/26 domestic season, represents one of the most comprehensive and long-term partnerships in international cricket.
The landmark partnership delivers an integrated ecosystem of CricVizʼs world-leading technology across both elite performance and match scoring. NZC will benefit from state-of-the-art data tools to support its menʼs and womenʼs high-performance programmes, while fans across the globe will enjoy richer match coverage, live insights and interactive digital experiences built on CricVizʼs real-time data feeds.
Critically, the deal allows NZC to simplify operations by consolidating tools and vendors into a single, unified platform. This will significantly reduce operational complexity, enhance internal efficiency, and enable consistent, data-driven decision-making across all levels of the organisation.
As part of the agreement, CricViz will provide a comprehensive suite of products and services, including:
- Analytics Services: Access to an analyst helpdesk and a dedicated suite of performance data services.
- Live Data Collection and Downstream Infrastructure: CricVizʼs FastPath collection system, ball-by-ball video tagging, and enhanced LED scoreboard and streaming graphics.
- Integrated data feeds for on-screen broadcast graphics.
- Fan Engagement Platforms: Custom-built match centres including live scores, visualisations, stats and video content.
Michael Kivido, Managing Director for CricViz, said, “We are thrilled to enter this long-term partnership with New Zealand Cricket – one of the most forward-thinking boards in the game. Over the next seven years, CricViz will provide NZC with the most advanced analytical tools in our sector, helping to drive better decisions on the field and deliver exceptional experiences for fans off it. By unifying high performance and fan engagement through one trusted platform, this agreement brings long-term value and cutting-edge innovation in equal measure.ˮ
Scott Weenink, CEO of New Zealand Cricket, added, “CricVizʼs appointment as our official data partner is a significant one for NZC and weʼre excited about the agreement. Their advanced analytical tools will sharpen our decision-making on the field, while their innovative fan engagement platforms will elevate the way we connect with supporters worldwide. This partnership positions us at the forefront of cricketʼs data-driven future.ˮ
This agreement reaffirms CricVizʼs reputation for best-in-class performance analysis and fan engagement tools, which continue to be adopted by the worldʼs leading cricket organisations to enhance on-field decision-making and deepen fan connection.
