ESPNcricinfo , Twitter partner to launch #CricIQ & #FanDugOut for World T20
The flagship cricket trivia game can be accessed simply by Tweeting to @ESPNScorecard with #CricIQ. Fans will then be provided a grid with numbers, each of which corresponds to questions of varying degrees of difficulty. Players can respond by Tweeting the answers to @ESPNScorecard.
The quickest, highest scorer of each day will be declared the day’s winner, while the top three contestants with the highest legitimate cumulative scores at the end of the tournament period will be declared the top winners of the quiz with exciting prizes on offer.
Continuing its focus on bringing fans in India closer to the sports they love by offering quality content across multiple platforms, ESPNcricinfo also announced #FanDugOut, which captures the emotion and passion of fans through photographs taken by them prior to, during and after matches and featured on ESPNcricinfo’s Twitter handle.
