It’s the cricket world cup season! So, all the fans are getting excited, and the game is getting competitive.
Cricket is a game where win or loss is defined by a thin margin. Currently, a lot of money is involved in the game and a huge number of spectators are waiting to see a favorable result for their team. Therefore, not only the responsibility of players to win and play without mistakes, but accuracy of decisions made by umpires have became critically important factors.

To support umpires to take the correct decision (and minimize the margin of error), lot of new technical utilities have been used recently. This is going to be about one of those technical advancements of the sport; Hawk-eye.
