Data analytics is reshaping player training, match tactics, and fan engagement like never before.
Cricket, one of the most loved sports in the Asian subcontinent and across the globe, is entering a new technological phase as data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming how teams strategize, train, and engage with fans. With robust machine learning and game prognostic modeling, Cricket is adapting to the latest technological trends.
Data analytics in combination with AI have now become the core of the game, as it has a vital role in player performance assessment. The cutting-edge software tracks player movements, bowling speeds, bowling line, and length, and shot accuracy, providing thorough insights. The AI-powered stimulators help batters train against virtual bowlers, while AI-generated heatmaps help bowlers modify their line and length according to the batter’s weaknesses.
Beyond individual performance, data analytics is also helping coaches make data-backed decisions on field placements, bowling changes, and batting orders by stringently analyzing the pitch and playing conditions. It also helps to keep track of players’ health conditions and injury risks.
Apart from this, real-time analysis enhances fan experiences. It offers fans personalized match insights, automated highlight reels, and a highly interactive game viewing experience through Virtual and augmented. This technological revolution is making the game of cricket smarter and more immersive than ever.
