Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: myCricket App at none against Google Assistant's shown. myCricket App also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Google Assistant's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
