Using CricInfo class

CricInfo class takes match id to scrape the data.

Q. Where can I get match id?

A. Google any cricket match you want. Visit Espncricinfo and get match id from url(highlighted number). 647261 in this case

from cricscraper.cricinfo import CricInfo

match = CricInfo("647261")
match.match_name()
match.match_dates()
match.playing11()
match.summary()
match.scorecard()

There are many more methods in CricInfo class. I'll encourage you to check other methods using

help(CricInfo)

Using CricSheet & CricInfo class together

from cricscraper.cricsheet import CricSheet

sheet = CricSheet(files=["647261.yaml", "792295.yaml"])
data = sheet.get_more_info()

get_more_info() returns dictionary of CricInfo object, match id as key
