Scenarios
After configuring your console, this section details the notifications from the Ball by Ball Push API. It explains the types of updates you’ll receive, whether they relate to ball events or other match changes. For specific ball details, you’ll need to use the Ball by Ball API.
1. Non-Ball Match Update
Technical Explanation:
When a match update occurs that isn't related to a ball (e.g., toss or squad changes), you'll receive a notification with the ball field as null. The push reason will be "Other" and the match_push_kind will also be "Other."
Non-Technical Explanation:
If something other than a ball changes in the match, like the toss or a squad update, you’ll get notified that something happened, but it won’t specify what.

"match_push_kind": "Other",
"ts": 1234567890
}
}
2. New Ball Entered
Technical Explanation:
When a new ball is delivered, the notification will include the ball details, such as ball_key, over, and batting_order. The push_reason will be "NewOrLast" and the match_push_kind will be "Ball."
Non-Technical Explanation:
Each time a new ball is bowled, you’ll get notified with details like the over and batting order, but it won’t show the ball’s result (like runs or wickets).

}3. Ball Updated (Not Last Ball)
Technical Explanation:
If an earlier ball in the match is updated (e.g., umpire correction), the notification will include the ball's details, and the push_reason will be "Update" with match_push_kind as "Ball."
Non-Technical Explanation:
If an earlier ball is changed, you’ll get notified that it was updated, but it won’t tell you what exactly was changed.

}
}4. Ball Deleted
Technical Explanation:
When a ball (either the last ball or an earlier one) is deleted, you’ll receive a notification where is_delete is true and the push_reason is "Other."
Non-Technical Explanation:
If a ball is removed from the match (for example, due to an error), you’ll get notified that a ball was deleted.

Update Subscription
- Trigger: When the match data is confirmed and cached.
- Notification: You’ll get a notification only after the ball data is confirmed as updated and recached. This is ideal for high-traffic or high-importance matches.
