PREDICTION:WORLD CUP 2023

Predicting ICC World Cup 2023 using Machine Learning

The Cricket World Cup, officially known as ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, is the international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), every four years, with preliminary qualification rounds leading up to a finals tournament.

PREDICTION

However, based on the current standings, predictions, and odds, some teams have a better chance than others to reach the final and lift the trophy.

Therefore, based on the available information and predictions of my machine learning model, it seems that Australia, India, New Zealand and Pakistan are the most likely teams to reach the semi-final of World Cup ODI 2023. However, cricket is a game of uncertainties and anything can happen on any given day. The other teams will also try their best to upset the favourites and create history. The World Cup ODI 2023 promises to be an exciting and thrilling tournament that will showcase some of the best cricketing talent in the world.

How do we build models?

So, what we have here, total seven columns i.e. Team, last one year W/L (mean Oct 2022 to Sep 2023), Total W/L(win loss ratio from 1st international match to till day), seven player rating(seven impact players mean 3 batsman, 3 bowlers and one allrounder from each team and sum of their rating), team rating (as per ICC Team Ranking), W/C in India W/L (1987, 1996 & 2011: all 3 world cup each team win loss ratio), last 18 match perform ( Last 18 matches performance each team against world cup participate team), every team will play at least 09 league match.

Analyze dataset create a Model with the help of Multiple Linear Regression using R Language which predict the semi-finalist and also better chance to lift the trophy.
