What is Predict22?
Predict22 is a live sports analytics website. It is all about sports analytics! The website attempts to provide sports fans with a one-stop and integrated environment for all their sports analytics needs. Users can check scores, predictions, schedules and stats for their favourite teams and leagues in one simple interface.
What matches are covered by Predict22?
Predict22 currently covers matches over three sports - cricket, basketball, and football.
For cricket, we cover all international 50-over and 20-over games along with prominent domestic T20 leagues.
For Football, we cover English Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Champions League, Europa League, and Indian Super League.
For Basketball, we cover the NBA.
Do you cover only matches televised on TV in India?
No. We cover all matches in the leagues and competitions that we cover, irrespective of whether they are televised events or not.
What analytics does Predict22 provide?
Predict22 provides a pre-match prediction for all games across all three sports. Specifically for cricket, we also have a live match prediction algorithm and we also provide fantasy picks.
How does Predict22 make its pre-match predictions?
Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), a machine learning technique, we process all relevant matches that have been played so far and highlight the pre-match favourites for a particular game. The pre-match favourites are assigned a numerical value to signify the confidence of the prediction. The team with the highest probability is the favourite for winning the match.
The factors considered in the algorithm vary as per the sports and format. However, in a nutshell, they are, but not limited to, the past performances of players and teams in recent matches and against the given opposition.
Can a pre-match prediction change? If so, how?
Once our algorithm has taken into account the various parameters that contribute to the pre-match prediction, there is nothing that will change the pre-match prediction.
The three sports are very different from each other. Are there any differences in the pre-match predictions for the three sports?
We have a common base algorithm for the pre-match predictions which is tweaked for each of the sports.
Football - has 3 possibilities including a draw (league matches and 1st leg of knockout matches).
Cricket - we ignore the possibility of a tie, so have 2 possibilities. The T20 format is particularly close to call and the predictions generally range from 51%-59% for the favourite team.
Basketball - with a wealth of past data and continuity with the teams, the expected performance of teams are well modeled and the predictions generally range from 51%-85% for the favourite team.
How long has Predict22 been making predictions?
Predict22 has been predicting T20 matches since Mar 8, 2016, which coincided with the start of ICC T20 World Cup 2016. ODI matches were introduced with ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
We started predicting football matches in 2018 with the FIFA World Cup.
We started predicting basketball matches in 2018 with the 2018-2019 NBA Season.
What is the meaning of Team A having a 55% probability of winning?
This means that if the match is played 100 times within the same parameters, Team A would win the match 55 times. It does not reflect the margin of victory.
Is there a way to tell if a match is going to be close?
No. We are looking at new additions to our algorithms to predict margins of victory.
Are the prediction percentages indicative of odds?
No. Predict22 provides no betting odds.
Can I use Predict22 to place a bet?
No. Predict22 does not support or endorse betting of any form.
How regularly is the data updated?
Predict22 provides ball-by-ball updates and ball-by-ball analytics for cricket. This roughly turns out to be updated every 30 seconds during a live match for cricket.
For football and basketball, the data is updated at the conclusion of every match.

What types of analytics does Predict22 provide?
For cricket, we provide two types of predictions. We provide pre-match win predictions and live match win predictions. Predict22 also provides Fantasy picks for cricket games.
To facilitate these algorithms, a host of secondary algorithms related to player and team rankings and performance have been developed as well.

What is the live match probability? How is this calculated?
The live match win prediction algorithm tries to tackle an inherent issue with cricket. As cricket is a turn-based sport, wherein one team bats first followed by the second team, there is no inherent statistic that determines which team is winning.
To rectify this problem, we have developed an in-house algorithm. This algorithm is based on probabilistic programming. The factors in the algorithm include but are not limited to the past performance of players and teams in the given stadium & the given series and against the given opposition, and the current match situation which includes factors like runs scored, ground par score, opposition bowling order.
What does the graph on the match page mean?
The graph is a visual representation of the match’s progress. It represents the live match probability discussed above.
When is the pre-match prediction made?
Pre Match predictions are made 5-10 minutes after the teams are announced.
Can the pre-match predictions be made earlier?
Cricket is a peculiar sport wherein the toss and lineup can make a significant impact on the outcome of the game. Predictions are thus dependent significantly upon the starting lineup and the outcome of the toss. This prevents us from releasing the pre-match predictions earlier.
Do you consider the pitch report for making predictions?
We consider the general tendency of a ground through past matches. However, we currently have no mechanism of accurately assimilating the pitch report.
Why are the predictions so close to 50%, like they usually range between 51% and 60%?
The shorter formats of cricket are extremely volatile. The teams playing in the domestic T20 league lack continuity and are prone to fluctuations. The range is reflective of the closeness of the matchups.
What has been the success rate of the pre-match predictions so far?
So far our accuracy for cricket is 70%.
How regularly is the data updated?
Predict22 provides ball-by-ball updates and ball-by-ball analytics. This roughly turns out to be updated every 20 seconds during a live match.
How far back does Predict22 collect data?
All data from every T20 match that has occurred and all one-day matches from 2003 are taken into account.
Does Predict22 cover Test matches?
We are working on trying to incorporate Test matches in the future. Look at this space for more information.
Does Predict22 offer Fantasy Picks?
