AN ANALYSIS OF BATTING PERFORMANCE OF THE CRICKET PLAYERS

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of batting performance on winning the game. Rating to the batsman based on their run-rate acts as a natural way of quantifying the performance.But in the team game, it is always important to score according to the situation demands. Batting against strong bowling line-up or at the initial stage of the game deserves more credit. In this paper, we have taken ball-by-ball data of cricket and reveal the importance of first over in the innings and opening partnership.
