Project Title: IPL Win Predictor using Machine Learning

Description: 🏏🔮

In this project, I embarked on a fascinating journey to develop an IPL (Indian Premier League) win predictor using machine learning techniques. Spanning the years from 2008 to 2019, I performed comprehensive data cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and other preprocessing tasks to harness the power of IPL data and extract valuable insights.

Key Features: 🚀

- Data Cleaning and Preprocessing: I meticulously cleaned and processed IPL data from 2008 to 2019, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the dataset. This involved handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and standardizing numerical features.

- Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Leveraging statistical techniques and visualizations, I conducted EDA to uncover trends, patterns, and correlations within the IPL dataset. This provided valuable insights into factors influencing match outcomes, such as team performance, venue, and match conditions.

- Model Training and Evaluation: Utilizing various machine learning models, I trained predictive models to forecast the probability of a team winning an IPL match. I experimented with different algorithms, assessing their performance and accuracy through rigorous evaluation metrics.

- Pipeline Development: To streamline the model training process, I created a robust pipeline that automates data preprocessing, model selection, and evaluation. This pipeline enhanced efficiency and reproducibility, allowing for quick iterations and improvements in model performance.

- Utilization of Logistic Regression: After thorough experimentation, I selected logistic regression as the primary model for win prediction. Leveraging its simplicity and interpretability, I trained a logistic regression model on the IPL dataset to predict match outcomes based on input features such as team names, venue, current run rate, overs, innings, and wickets taken.

Achievements: 🏆

- Developed an advanced IPL win predictor leveraging machine learning techniques.

- Conducted comprehensive data analysis and preprocessing to harness the power of IPL data.

- Established a robust model training pipeline for efficient experimentation and model selection.

- Implemented logistic regression as the primary model for win prediction, achieving satisfactory accuracy and performance.
