A Comprehensive Prediction Model for T20 and Test Match Outcomes Using Machine Learning

Cricket is a popular sport worldwide, played with a bat and balls. This paper used classification and regression to predict the T20 and Test matches results and scores because cricket fans and analysts always want to predict which team will win the match and how much score a team will make. We have used a supervised machine learning technique to predict the score and result for T20 and Test matches. Cricket match prediction dataset comprising of 13 features and 7827 instances utilized for training the model. For the prediction of winning and losing, we have used Naïve Bayes, Gradient Boosted Trees, Logistic Regression, Deep learning, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Generalized Linear Model. For Score Prediction, we have used Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosted Trees, Generalized Linear Models, and Deep Learning. We've shown the most accurate model after evaluating the accuracy percentages of the several classifiers listed above. Our introduced model has gained an accuracy rate of 96.15% using the Gradient Boosted Trees classifier for Match Score Prediction and 71.72% accuracy by using the Generalized Linear Model for match result prediction. The Rapid Miner tool has been used to perform machine learning techniques to train models. This paper discusses the effectiveness and use of machine learning methods to develop highly accurate models for Cricket match prediction dataset comprising of 13 features and 7827 instances utilized for training the model.
