Factors affecting the result of matches in the one day format of cricket
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2016, Vol 26, Issue 4
Abstract
Factors contributing to winning games are imperative, as the ultimate objective in a game is vic-tory. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that characterize the game of cricket, and to investigate the factors that truly influence the result of a game using the data collected from the Cham-pions Trophy cricket tournament. According to the results, this cricket tournament can be characterized using the factors of batting, bowling, and decision-making. Further investigation suggests that the rank of the team and the number of runs they score have the most significant influence on the result of games. As far as the effectiveness of assigning bowlers is concerned, the Australian team has done a fabulous job compared to the rest of the teams.
