You'll get updates not only on IPL matches but also all the cricketing action taking place globally. Here's a quick list of queries you can ask Assistant on your Google Home:
- Match scores and summary
- OK Google, match summary for today's Match between Delhi and Chennai.

- League standings
- Ok Google, tell me the current IPL points table?
- Team schedule
- OK Google, when is Kolkata's next match?
- Team squad
- Ok Google, what does the Mumbai Indians' squad look like?
Google has also teamed up with ESPNcricinfo over a Smart Update feature that provides a 3 - 5 minute video review of all the action from IPL, as well as a preview of the next day's games. Finally, you'll be able to add cricket updates as part of your daily routines to automatically get updates of upcoming matches and events.
