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 in a seven-year agreement, commencing ahead of the upcoming summer.
The landmark partnership delivers an integrated ecosystem of CricViz’s world-leading technology across both elite performance and match scoring.
NZC will benefit from state-of-the-art data tools to support its men’s and women’s high-performance programmes, while fans across the globe will enjoy richer match coverage, live insights and interactive digital experiences built on CricViz’s real-time data feeds.
Critically, the deal allows NZC to simplify operations by consolidating tools and vendors into a single, unified platform, significantly reducing operational complexity, enhancing internal efficiency, and enabling consistent, data-driven decision-making across all levels of the organisation.
Michael Kivido, Managing Director for CricViz said his organisation was thrilled to be entering the long-term partnership with NZC, which he considered 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,” he said.
“By unifying high performance and fan engagement through one trusted platform, this agreement brings long-term value and cutting-edge innovation in equal measure”.
NZC chief executive Scott Weenink said CricViz’s appointment as official data partner was a significant one and that he was excited about its potential.
“CricViz’s 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,” he said.
“This partnership positions us at the forefront of cricket’s data-driven future.”
