Comprehensive expansion to 6 enterprise infrastructure tiers (Free Developer, Starter, Pro, Business, Ultra, and Enterprise) paired with dedicated sub-30ms global routing and high-concurrency rate limiters.

• Expanded Tier Architecture: Added Ultra (30M queries/mo, sub-30ms routing) and unified annual billing with a 10% instant discount.
• Sub-Millisecond Cache Invalidation: Optimized edge routing so live ball events, batsman run rate, and wicket dismissal states propagate in under 45ms.
• Interactive Pricing & Key Provisioning: Self-service upgrade flow with instant key generation and automatic quota allocation.

Unused monthly API calls now automatically roll over to consecutive billing periods across all active paid plans, ensuring zero wasted quota during off-season tournament breaks.

• Unused Quota Rollover: Active paid accounts automatically retain unspent monthly call balances without manual activation.
• Match Event Webhooks: Push notification support for ball-by-ball updates, boundary events, fall of wickets, and innings breaks.
• Predictive Analytics Models: Integrated real-time win probability algorithms, projected target matrix, and live worm charts.

Massive expansion of historical cricket records covering International Tests, ODIs, T20Is, and premier domestic leagues spanning over a decade of verified scorecards and career statistics.
