Submission for IITM Cricket Powerplay Prediction Competition
We used RandomForestRegression to predict the powerplay scores. We created a database for venue, team and players , and made an index for each of them using the following formula;
Venue : Runs scored in venue / Total matches played in venue --for each innings
Team: For each innings: Team batting index : Totals Runs by team/ Matches played by team Team bowling index : Total balls bowled by team / Total wickets taken by team
Player Index: For each innings: Batsmen index : Totals Runs by batsmen/ Matches played by batsmen/ Bowler index : Average (Economy of Bowler(match)/ Total wickets taken by bowler (match)
