ABSTRACT

The nation of India worships cricket as its most widely enjoyed sport which exists in different game types such as T20, ODI, and Test. The Indian Premier League exists as a national cricket competition that selects participants from various Indian regional squads along with national and international players. Cricket fans enthusiastically followed this league because of television broadcasting and livestreaming and radio coverage. Organizations that support the IPL along with online traders depend on accurate match outcome predictions. Multiple team success indicators such as player compositions and performance averages along with previous win statistics allow predictions about a match between two teams when combined with standard toss outcome and venue conditions. The paper develops algorithms for IPL match outcome prediction through support vector machines and random forest classifier and logistic regression. The experimental data revealed Random Forest as the superior choice among all tested algorithms since it achieved 95.10% accuracy

1. INTRODUCTION

   The Indian Premier League (IPL) operates as one of the most well-known and anticipated global cricket tournaments. The Indian Premier League appeared under the supervision of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) during 2008 because this tournament introduced cricket to a new style through its fast limited-over matches and stars from the world of sports and strong commercial strategies. Both fans of sports and professional cricket analysts who also engage in match betting and fantasy league activities matches because the format contains unpredictable yet highly competitive features. Previously match prediction was done by expert evaluation and analysis of historical records and statistical data. The sport analytics revolution in data science occurred through machine learning which brought novel data analysis prospects.
