ICC Cricket World Cup coming to BOLT+
The ICC Cricket World Cup is a high velocity event held once every four years. Total viewership of the 2015 WC exceeded an astounding 1.5 billion. Viewership of India vs Pakistan alone came to an incredible 1 billion; almost 10 times the number of viewers for the 2018 Fifa World Cup Final.
BOLT is an Official Digital Clips Partner of the ICC, for Southeast Asia. This means that in addition to access to ICC archive material, we will also receive official match highlights for all 48 World Cup ODI’s. This will form the backbone of our content offering for the World Cup and these clips will be inserted into a premium playlist, which will require tokens for access.
Powered by Zilliqa
As a long-standing partner of the BOLT ecosystem, Zilliqa will power the technical infrastructure behind our apps. Chosen because of scalability and security, Zilliqa will enable us to effectively track, report, and reconcile payments and analytics between our content and business partners.
