Rakuten Viber adds new Cricket superbot to their slate of exciting Cricket World Cup 2022 activities

KATHMANDU: For the second year in a row, Rakuten Viber launches a Cricket World Cup campaign, bringing fans a month-long celebration filled with fun games and exciting prizes in the new Cricket Superbot, among other things.

For the past two years, Rakuten Viber has consistently supported the Cricket industry. However, they are now ready to double down on Cricket Fiesta and make it even more enjoyable for the fans.

As part of the campaign, the messaging app introduces the much-anticipated Cricket Superbot, as well as a slew of interactive games. The new Superbot is an automated feature that will be available on the Cricket Vibes Channel, where fans can participate in games, get live updates, match predictions, and more.

Cricket fans can win cash vouchers by simply participating in daily quizzes and correctly answering questions on the Cricket Superbot quiz section, in collaboration with Daraz. The top ten fans with the most points by the end of October will be declared the winners.

“We’ve only heard good things about last year’s Cricket Fiesta, so we’re thrilled to be partnering with Viber and bringing even more joy to Nepalese cricket fans.” We have a lot of prizes in store for them, so they’ll be sure to enjoy all of the festivities both inside and outside the stadium,” says Arun Phuyal, Head of Payments and Partnership.

Fans can also win exciting prizes by participating in Prediction, where they can predict how the entire game will unfold, from the first toss to team scores and match winner. The top three fans from Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and India with the highest cumulative scores at the end of the tournament will receive special Viber rewards.

Users can also score runs and play virtual cricket games from the comfort of their own homes. Throughout the Cricket World Cup, they can pretend to be their favorite cricketers and hit a ball with the Cricket Superbot, just like they would in a real match.

“After the success of our first Cricket Fiesta, it was an easy decision to double down this year.” Last year’s events were well received by fans, so we’ve decided to make things even bigger and better this year with the Cricket Superbot. It’s a fantastic addition to our already stellar lineup of events, and we’re looking forward to celebrating this exciting tournament with the Cricket Channel this year, and hopefully in the years to come,” says David Tse, Senior Director for APAC at Rakuten Viber.

Custom Lenses, sticker packs, Cricket Fixtures in the Cricket Vibes Channel, and Cricket Talks are among the other features and events included in Viber’s Cricket World Cup 2022 campaign. Fans can enjoy Cricket Superbot now and continue to do so throughout this year’s tournament.
