Advanced IPL Match Analysis Using Python

Objective:

This project requires an in-depth exploration and advanced analysis of IPL match data using
Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib. Students will analyze, interpret, and visualize the data at both
match-level and ball-level to uncover hidden patterns, trends, and insights about team
performance, player statistics, and game dynamics.

The project is designed to challenge analytical thinking, coding skills, and data visualization
capabilities.

Datasets Overview:

AI
1. Matches.csv: Contains match-level data like teams, venues, results, and winning
margins.
2. Deliveries.csv: Contains ball-by-ball data with details on runs, wickets, extras, and
player dismissals.
OW
Instructions for the Project:

1. Load and Inspect the Data:


○ Load both datasets into Pandas DataFrames.
○ Combine data where necessary (hint: match IDs are common across both
datasets).
GR

○ Perform an initial inspection using head(), info(), and describe() to


understand column types and values.
2. Data Cleaning and Preprocessing:
○ Identify and handle missing values appropriately in both datasets.
○ Standardize team names and venue names for consistency.
○ Ensure all numerical columns are in the correct data type.
○ Merge Matches.csv and Deliveries.csv based on match_id to perform
advanced analyses.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):

Match-Level Analysis (Using Matches.csv):

1. Team Performance:
○ Q1: Find the win percentage of each team over all seasons. (Use total
matches played vs. total matches won).
■ Hint: Use groupby and calculate percentages.
○ Q2: Which team has the highest winning margin (runs and wickets) on
average?
○ Q3: Identify the most successful captain based on total matches won.
■ Hint: Identify captains using available columns like toss_winner or
analyze player roles from the deliveries dataset.
○ Q4: Find the top 3 cities with the most tied matches and plot the results.
○ Q5: Which season had the closest matches on average (smallest winning
margins)?

Ball-Level Analysis (Using Deliveries.csv):


2. Batsman and Bowler Insights:

● Q6: Identify the most consistent batsman across all seasons (highest average runs
per match).

AI
○ Hint: Use batsman's runs divided by matches played.
● Q7: Find the top 5 batsmen with the most boundaries (fours and sixes).
● Q8: Analyze the strike rate of batsmen in the powerplay (overs 1-6) and death overs
(overs 16-20).
● Q9: Determine the most economical bowler (minimum runs per over bowled) who
OW
has bowled at least 100 overs in total.
● Q10: Which bowler has the highest dot-ball percentage?
3. Match Dynamics:
○ Q11: Analyze run rate trends across different overs (powerplay, middle
overs, and death overs).
■ Hint: Group data by over and inning to calculate average run rates.
○ Q12: Identify matches where teams successfully defended a low total
(<150 runs).
4. Wickets and Dismissals:
GR

○ Q13: Find the most common mode of dismissal in IPL history.


○ Q14: Which bowler has dismissed the most number of a specific batsman
(head-to-head matchup)?
■ Hint: Use player_dismissed and bowler columns.
○ Q15: Plot a heatmap of dismissals by over and inning to identify in which
phase most wickets fall.

Visualization Requirements:

1. Team Insights:
○ Plot win percentages of all teams using a horizontal bar chart.
○ Compare winning margins (runs and wickets) for the top 5 teams using a
stacked bar chart.
2. Batsman and Bowler Performance:
○ Visualize the top 10 batsmen based on runs, strike rate, and boundaries.
○ Plot a scatter plot comparing economy rates and dot-ball percentages for top
10 bowlers.
3. Match Trends:
○ Show run rate trends per over (1-20) for a specific high-scoring match using
a line plot.
○ Create a heatmap of run distribution across overs and innings.
4. Dismissals:
○ Visualize the modes of dismissal using a pie chart.
○ Use a seaborn heatmap for wickets per over and inning.

Advanced Analysis (Bonus):

1. Head-to-Head Team Analysis:


○ Compare two teams' performance (like CSK vs. MI) based on:

AI
■ Total wins.
■ Average scores.
■ Win margins.
2. Impact Players:
○ Identify the players who contributed the most to their team’s victories based
OW
on:
■ Highest individual scores.
■ Wickets in low-scoring matches.
3. Win Prediction Analysis:
○ Analyze trends in toss decisions and their impact on match results.
■ Does choosing fielding first increase winning probability?
GR

Deliverables:

1. A well-commented Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb file).


2. At least 5 insightful visualizations showcasing the results.
3. A short report summarizing all findings, observations, and key insights.

KPI for Evaluation (Key Performance Indicators):

1. Data Preparation:
○ Proper handling of missing data and clean merging of datasets.
2. Logical Analysis:
○ Accurate answers to all 15+ questions.
○ Correct implementation of advanced groupings and aggregations.
3. Code Quality:
○ Use of vectorized operations and optimized queries.
○ Clear, well-documented, and modular code.
4. Visualizations:
○ Use of appropriate chart types with labeled axes, legends, and titles.
5. Insights and Interpretation:
○ Unique observations and actionable insights from the data.

Hints for Students:

1. Use merge() to combine matches and deliveries datasets where needed.


2. Use groupby(), aggregate(), and pivot_table() for advanced group-based analysis.
3. Experiment with filtering and Boolean masks to extract specific conditions.
4. For visualizations, explore Matplotlib (basic) and Seaborn (advanced).
5. Validate each output using print statements or intermediate summaries.
