IPL Data Analysis and Visualization for Team Selection and Profit Strategy

Abstract

Day by day, the role of data science and machine learning in cricket is increasing due to the large amount of data generated from a single player on a whole line. The field of data science is the intensive study of data to extract insights and knowledge from the data and apply the acquired knowledge and actionable insights. These available data and statistics are used to predict things like the team's first-innings score and the probability of winning the second team, etc. This study works on Indian Premier League (IPL) Data Analysis 2022 and Data Visualization for the duration (2008–2020) using Python. This application modules are followed by preprocessing, data analysis, and visualization, and finally create a model that predicts the team's overall score and the probability of winning. When building models, python algorithms such as Numpy is used for Scientific Computing, Pandas used to perform Data Analysis, and finally Matplotlib and Seaborn to enable Data Visualization. Finally, this paper helps the trainers and owners of the team during the auction to select an emerging player to win the matches in the entire season and to win the trophy and to get profit to the owners by the profit strategy done in this analysis report.
