Abstract

Cricket is getting a huge amount of popularity all around the world. More than a hundred countries now becomes part of cricket playing nations. Currently, the selection of the players and prediction of winner of a match becomes a challenging task. Performance of player is measure with factors such as current form, opposite team, venue, strike rate, etc. These parameters are considered for the selection of eleven player squad. The aim of forming squad is to get best playing eleven out of number of available players to form a balanced team. With the selection of players, there is also a need for finding the right set of parameters for the winning a match. Batsman, bowler, weather condition, venue are some of the factors that have effects on the outcome of the match. It becomes very difficult to show dominance over team in their home conditions but some team shows complete dominance all around the world. For deciding teams and predicting the result of match, there is a need to find new parameters. In this paper, we will study the methods previously used to get a balanced squad and outcome of the match.
