• Authors: Harsh Mittal, Deepak Rikhari, Jitendra Kumar, Ashutosh Kumar Singh
• Abstract summary: Predicting the outcome of a cricket match has become a fundamental problem as we are advancing in the field of machine learning. Multiple researchers have tried to predict the outcome of a cricket match or a tournament, or to predict the performance of players during a match, or to predict the players who should be selected as per their current performance, form, morale, etc. We discuss some of these techniques along with a brief comparison among these techniques.

• Abstract: Cricket is unarguably one of the most popular sports in the world. Predicting the outcome of a cricket match has become a fundamental problem as we are advancing in the field of machine learning. Multiple researchers have tried to predict the outcome of a cricket match or a tournament, or to predict the performance of players during a match, or to predict the players who should be selected as per their current performance, form, morale, etc. using machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques keeping in mind extensive detailing, features, and parameters. We discuss some of these techniques along with a brief comparison among these techniques.

  This paper proposes the use of machine learning to predict the outcome of table tennis single matches. We use player and match statistics as features and evaluate their relative importance in an ablation study. The results can serve as a baseline for future table tennis prediction models, and can feed back to prediction research in similar ball sports.

  We try four different machine learning approaches for predicting the results of T20 Cricket Matches. Specifically we take in account: previous performance statistics of the players involved in the competing teams, ratings of players obtained from reputed cricket statistics websites, clustering the players' with similar performance statistics and propose a novel method using an ELO based approach to rate players. We compare the performances of each of these feature engineering approaches by using different ML algorithms, including logistic regression, support vector machines, bayes network, decision tree, random forest.
