**Key Notes & Triggers:**

* Notes like *Tea Break*, *Lunch*, and *Dinner* are triggered by scheduled intervals based on the match format and playing conditions.
* Statuses like *Interrupted* or *Delayed* are condition-dependent, often triggered by external factors like weather.
* Specific conditions, such as bad light or rain, may lead to transitions between *Int.* and *Aban.*, or even *Cancl.* in extreme cases.

**Edge Cases & Exceptions:**

* **Interrupted Matches:** These may resume or be abandoned depending on factors like weather conditions or ground readiness.
* **Postponed Matches:** Matches are rescheduled but retain their original metadata in the API.
* **Cancelled Matches:** These have been removed from the schedule, and no further updates have been provided.
