How to watch

Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Fast cricket rewards a wired connection more than a 4K badge. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

Set up before the first ball

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Open the LG Content Store (labeled Apps on recent webOS versions), search for Smarters Player Lite and install it.
  • In Smarters Player Lite, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Open the Sports group and add Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first ball to confirm the picture is steady.

Before you begin

  • Player: Smarters Player Lite (free)
  • Budget 10 Mbps per HD screen and 25 Mbps per 4K screen, then add headroom for everyone else online
  • Channels to favorite: Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

LG Smart TV settings for cricket

On LG TVs, TruMotion controls motion smoothing. Try the Sports picture mode for cricket, then go back to Standard if skin tones look off; lower TruMotion if a hard ball moving off the pitch at pace leaves halos.

Quick fixes mid-game

  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Run a speed test on the LG Smart TV. Under 25 Mbps, stick with HD for Cricket.

Cricket viewing tips

  • Favorite every channel carrying the event so you can follow it from one list.
  • Use a wired connection for the moments you most want to see live.
  • Sessions that air while you are at work or asleep are what catch-up is for.
  • Event schedules shift, so check the guide on the day rather than a printed schedule.

No cable and no add-on. Every plan includes the full lineup, from $24.99 for one month or $125 for a year.

Will Cricket play in 4K on the LG Smart TV?

4K support varies by model and year; if the settings menu offers a 2160p or UHD output, you're covered. The broadcast also has to be available in 4K, and your line needs about 25 Mbps.
