Technical Glitches Disrupt Access to ESPNcricinfo’s World Cup Coverage
Cricket enthusiasts attempting to view the live scorecard for the ICC Women’s World Cup semi-final between India and Australia have reported encountering “Access Denied” errors on the ESPNcricinfo website.
Users navigating to the page for the highly anticipated match were blocked by a server-side message indicating they did not have permission to access the content. The error also generated a technical reference code, pointing to a potential issue with the site’s content delivery network or specific page permissions.
The affected URL was designated for the live coverage of the second semi-final of the 2025-26 tournament. At this time, the scope of the disruption remains unclear, and the sports news platform has not issued a statement regarding the cause of the technical problem or when it might be resolved.
