Visibility of smaller cricket tournaments to increase through AI-driven sports production
Smaller cricket events are set to receive greater exposure after significant investment into an AI-driven sports production.
SportVot is a sports tech company focused on scalable AI-driven sports production, distribution and monetisation infrastructure for emerging leagues and competitions
It received a $3.6 million (USD) investment to expand its presence across Europe, Australia, the United States and West Asia. The company appears suited to help address cricket’s needs beyond the Full Member world.
Associate cricket and smaller leagues worldwide are often not broadcast and have little media coverage in a sport obsessed with the powerhouse countries. SportVot aims to address a significant gap beyond the top tier, with smaller tournaments and leagues operating without structured production or consistent visibility.
Through its AI-driven capture and remote production infrastructure, virtual advertising integrations, player profiling and data analytics capabilities, it is hoped to shine a light on under-exposed matches.
Junior Super Kings (Chennai Super Kings’ junior tournament) has already had an involvement with SportVot, which boasts a significant cricket identity with Tim Anderson - former International Cricket Council head of development - managing director of its operations in Australia.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen strong adoption from sports organisations across Australia looking to scale how their competitions are captured and distributed,” Anderson said.
“The ability to deliver consistent, high-quality production across different sports and formats has been key.
“This next phase allows us to build SportVot is a global sport technology company, delivering cutting edge live broadcast production and content creation solutions for 30 sports in over 20 countries across the world.”
