You can use its RSS feed to get cricket score or you can use its API so based on it you can get data every 10 second!! Make sure for this 10 second interval you have to implement functionality via Ajax call . For example http://www.rediff.com/rss/index.html . On this page you can get RSS feed and now make its api call like

Uri targetUri = new Uri(sBlogUrl);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(targetUri);
WebResponse webResponse = request.GetResponse();

here you will get de-serialize xml feeds and you have to convert them into serialize form.

it does fine the source may be it redirect to other page and give the 404 or 400 error. u write any code in web.confile file about to 404 error then remove that.
