Mendis made a useful 18 not out in a total of 219 for eight, where No 8 Nuwan Kulasekara top-scored with an undefeated 42, and the unorthodox spinner then took three wickets for 27 runs. Once Sri Lanka, who had been struggling at 95 for five, had set Ireland 220 to win on a slow Clontarf pitch, the game was always out of the reach of the leading Associate or non-Test nation. Despite losing four for 11 runs in 29 balls either side of the 20th over, Ireland put up some late resistance before being bowled out for 140 with 10.1 overs remaining. The difficulty of facing such a talented attack was highlighted by normally-free-scoring Ireland captain William Porterfield’s innings of 33, which used up 87 balls. Indeed, only in-form Leicestershire batsman Niall O’Brien, with 33 from 39 balls including five fours, looked comfortable until Max Sorensen and George Dockrell’s lusty blows near the end. Mendis was named man-of-the-match-two of his three wickets were the important ones of Porterfield, caught at deep mid-wicket, and Niall O’Brien, leg before. However, he must have been run close by Kulasekara who, as well as making runs, removed the dangerous Paul Stirling with the last ball of his first over.

  • Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B
    Sri Lankan Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol (14-1) Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B. W. Manage*, Stephen M. Scariano and Cecil R. Hallum Sam Houston State University Huntsville, Texas, USA 77341 Corresponding Author (Email: [email protected]) Received: 13 February 2013 / Revised: 15 May 2013 ABSTRACT Performance analysis of cricket players is always an intricate task due to the correlated nature of the variables used to quantify contributions to the team. Lack of transparency of current methods, probably due to commercial confidentiality, creates a necessity for new and lucent evaluative methods. Here, we present a simple, yet straightforward, method for analyzing the performance of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 players that can be easily adapted to other team sports. Keywords: Cricket, Principal Component Analysis, Ranking Methods. 1. Introduction Quantifying individual player contributions to a team is an important yet difficult task in all team sports. Usually, there are several indicators available to measure player performances, which are based on different aspects of their contributions to the team. Unfortunately these indicators are mostly related to each other in a manner that oftentimes causes difficulty in constructing an overall performance measure. Our idea is to use a tool acquired from multivariate statistical analysis and apply it directly to T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 data. In this method, the first principal component is used to rank batsmen and bowlers. The technique is simple and can be directly applied to the type of correlated data routinely found in team sports such as cricket. Cricket administrators and sports analysts can use this amenable method to quantify players’ contribution, which could lead to a ranking structure based on their performances.
