The latest iOS 10 beta update, 10.3, is sure to bring cheer for Indian users as Siri, Apple's digital assistant, will now be offering cricket scores, stats and trivia.

The new feature makes Apple's intent in its fastest-growing market very clear. India is a cricket-crazy nation and the demand for such content is huge. However, Apple is actually playing catch-up with Google Now which added cricket support three years ago.

Apple said in a statement that Siri will be pulling in information from International Cricket Council (ICC) tournaments and the wildly popular Indian Premier League (IPL). Users can ask for team rankings, live scores, individual player records, tour itinerary and other general match information. Queries can be as specific as: Show me Virat Kohli stats or as basic as when is the next cricket match?

Siri will virtually be competing with a host of popular cricket apps such as ESPN Cricinfo, Cricbuzz, NDTV Cricket, etc. that offer round-the-clock coverage of the game.

Other than this, iOS 10.3 most interesting, and much-needed, feature is Find My AirPods — modeled on 'Find my iPhone' — that allows users to locate their wireless ear pods within the Bluetooth range of their iOS devices, which are signed in to iCloud.

Other incremental updates include an expanded SiriKit that supports paying and checking status of bills with payment apps and scheduling with ride-booking apps; 3D Touch on the weather icon in Maps to get hourly forecasts; Maps displaying EV charging stations, just like Google Maps, and CarPlay adding shortcuts for the last two used apps.

The iOS 10.3 rolled out on Tuesday.
