Cricket is an outdoor sport that is extremely popular in Asian countries. Generally, the game is played in three different formats. Each format throws its own set of challenges and teams that are chosen in accordance to the format demands. The outcome of a cricket match is highly unpredictable if the gap between the skill levels of opponent teams is very narrow. It should also be noted that, Cricket is a team game, it is not one player, who determines the course of outcome of the match. Hence selecting the right team for a match by assessing the available player performance and playing conditions has a significant bearing on the outcome of the match. This work is further focused towards developing a robust prediction model that can classify players and accordingly help in predicting the Cricket team especially in the ODI format.. © 2020 IEEE.
