(I-Newswire) November 18, 2009 - Mumbai, November 13, 2009: After the successful live webcast of the India Australia ODI series, CricketNirvana.com, a part of Nimbus Communications Ltd. today announced that they would webcast the India – Sri Lanka Series Live and Exclusive on the site free to Indian users.

While India is looking to regain lost glory after the closely fought series against the Australians, Sri Lanka is keen on winning their first test series on Indian soil and showing the hosts up in the T20s and ODIs. Starting November 16, CricketNirvana.com would webcast the entire series which includes 3 tests, 2 T20s and 5 ODIs.

Commenting on this, Mr. Sumit Luthra, VP – New Media, Nimbus Communications Ltd. said, “We tasted great success in webcasting the India - Australia Series with over two million unique users visiting the site during the tournament. We aim at taking this further, far surpassing this number and creating a new benchmark in online content consumption with the India - Sri Lanka series. It is an experience no cricket fan can afford to miss. This has also been an extremely viable platform for brands to connect with their target audience and we are positive that this tour will be a success story not just for us but for our partners as well.”

The LIVE matches and Video on Demand would be available for viewing absolutely free to the Indian users whereas fans logging on from the rest of the world would have to pay a nominal rate for the same. For those who can’t watch the matches live, Video on Demand would showcase match highlights, 4s and 6s and wicket packages to watch whenever you want. Complimenting this will be a live interactive scoreboard with features such as ball by ball commentary and statistical graphs - wagon wheels and spiders a single click away.
