Predicting Cricket Outcomes: A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models for Optimal Accuracy
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: —The project will focus on the development of a predictive model of cricket match outcomes on the basis of high advanced machine learning techniques and highly massive data concerning player statistics and match history with conditions prevailing on game day to build an intelligent system capable of forecast more accurate results than ever produced before. The model will compare several machine learning algorithms, including Decision Trees, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Neural Networks, in terms of which is likely to be most ef fective for prediction purposes.Some key features involve dynamic datasets, where live data from match situations and performances are fed into the model to be in real time, keeping it as accurate as possible. Another unique feature is the ability to weigh various match conditions, including pitch conditions, weather, and team form, which it offers users for a better understanding of how results can depend on a number of factors. The fairness and reliability aspects for the system will be of prime importance to ensure no imbalance arises from any single model influencing the results.It is aimed at providing a new tool both for teams, analysts, and cricket fans that would offer an opportunity to take strategic decisions and enjoy the sport even more. Let the game of cricket become more transparent, data informed, and a little less behind the lines for a larger audience with the help of machine learning.
