  • Role of External Factors on Outcome of a One Day International Cricket (ODI) Match and Predictive Analysis
    ISSN (Online) 2278-1021 ISSN (Print) 2319-5940 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer and Communication Engineering Vol. 4, Issue 6, June 2015 Role of External Factors on Outcome of a One Day International Cricket (ODI) Match and Predictive Analysis Mehvish Khan1, Riddhi Shah2 Student, Information Science and Engineering, BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, India1,2 Abstract: The outcome of a One Day International (ODI) cricket match depends on various factors. This research aims to identify the factors which play a key role in predicting the outcome of an ODI cricket match and also determine the accuracy of the prediction made using the technique of data mining. In this analysis, statistical significance for various variables which could explain the outcome of an ODI cricket match are explored. Home field advantage, winning the toss, game plan (batting first or fielding first), match type (day or day & night), competing team, venue familiarity and season in which the match is played will be key features studied for the research . For purposes of model-building, three algorithms are adopted: Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes. Logistic regression is applied to data already obtained from previously played matches to identify which features individually or in combination with other features play a role in the prediction. SVM and Naïve Bayes Classifier are used for model training and predictive analysis. Graphical representation and confusion matrices are used to represent the various sets of models and comparative analysis is done on them. A bidding scenario is also considered to explain the decisions that can be taken after the model has been built.

We have not received any communication from your end in this regard. We are surprised to learn from the media reports that the said match has been shifted to Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. We would request you to kindly let us know the reasons for shifting of the said match. Regards, (C.S.Naik) C.E.O. From: Mumbai Cricket Association [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 11 October 2018 18:33 To: 'Committee of Administrators' Cc: 'Rahul Johri' Subject: RE: Confirmation to host ODI match of the West Indies Series 2018 Dear Sir, Let me take this opportunity to reiterate that Mumbai Cricket Association is fully committed to hosting the 4th One Day International match between India and West Indies on 29th October 2018 at Wankhede Stadium. Accordingly, all the requirements to hold the match are in place. As communicated to Mr. Rahul Johri, CEO, BCCI in 2 meetings, we face a precarious situation. At present the Association does not have any authorised signatory and hence nobody is in a position to take decisions pertaining to appointment of various agencies, finalising the ticket prices and signing of agreement with BCCI. We discussed various options to conduct the match, including asking the BCCI to conduct it with our committed support.

Recursive function and secondary data statistics of T-20 cash rich cricket tournament Indian Premier League (IPL) such as runs scored in different stages, fall wickets in different stages, and type of pitch are used in developing the model. This model was tested at 120 matches held IPL 2016 and 2017. This model had been proved effective by comparing with the models developed earlier. This model can be a useful tool to the stakeholders like coach and captain of the team for adopting better strategy at any stage of the match. For future research, this model can be useful in framing a regulation work by policy makers at both national and international cricket board by deriving the target score during interruptions.
