Is it The 6th Sense or Data Analysis That Works in Determining Success Factor of a Team?

To all the cricket lovers, did this ever happen, you predict something and it happens the very next moment? If yes! Then let’s ask you the question, how many times did this happen to you

Guess what will happen on this ball? Hmmm! I have no idea, says younger son. What if I say, he’s gonna have another six within the next 4 balls? Dad’s reply! I don’t think so! Well, let’s see. First ball gets in, batsman misses, a single score on the second and strike on the third and the moment there comes an astounding sixer on the 4th ball, a sudden wow comes from son.


But how were you so certain about it? Well it was guess! Guess and so certain? A conversation between a dad and a son that was going on between the dramatic match of IPL.

And all of sudden dad says that this time, Chennai Super king will win whereas Son was predicting the win of Kings XI Punjab. And he was damn certain. When asked about the certainty, he replied that, based on past experiences and looking and Punjab’s win, I can easily say this.

Call it the guess game, luck, prediction, sixth sense or whatever, but we all have been doing data analysis in one way or another. Data analysis such as past win rate, present team, weather forecast and every other metric counts.

What Are the Core Factors For Data Analysis in Cricket?

Have you ever wondered how come some people stat predicting winning team without even the coin is flipped? Well, they do it with their own analysis. Their analysis are based on some the key indicators such as winning streaks, team compilation, ground favorable factors and lot more. Using all these factors while calculating their own betas and gammas, they then start predicting.

Should I Rely on Odds

Gambler turned analyst, Dane Weston believe that mere reliance on odds isn’t good at all. To him, there are different factors that come into play. Relying on odds is like you are walking on other crunches. The moment, someone’s gonna pull these and the moment you are down. And that’s the reason betway offers a real platform to the people who aren’t merely relying on odds but have much more in their plate to add on.

Is the Perception or Analysis Has Actually Changed

Looking at the past decades, saying this won’t be wrong that game has been changed a lot. Now analysis, play major role rather than simply choosing a quality players. For instance, compiling, the team of all all-rounders on a bowling pitch or adding only one spinner on a pitch where spinners can actually play a significant role won’t be good.

All in all game is changing and the things have changed a lot. From predicting the favorite team to winning the toss and from predicting the ball on a six to striking the wills each and everything is based on analysis and the inference drawn from these.
