Officially, artificial intelligence has entered the cricketing world. Google’s Gemini AI tool and Mithali Raj’s live pitch report during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 served as the ICC’s technological demonstration.
Former Indian captain Mithali Raj showcased AI’s potential in sports broadcasting ahead of the tenth game of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup using her phone’s Gemini Live feature.
She aimed her camera at the field as she stood at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam and questioned the AI:
We’re in Visakhapatnam for a one-day game at the ACA-VDCA Stadium. What do you think of this pitch given the hot and muggy conditions here?
