About Predict22 Sports Analytics.

• "What" Questions

  What is Predict22?

  Predict22 is a sports analytics platform. We use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to provide our users with analytics for their favourite sports. 

   

  What Sports does Predict22 cover?

  Predict22 covers three different sports: Cricket, Football, and Basketball.

   

  What Analytics does Predict22 provide?

  Predict22 provides match predictions, live scores, team and player stats, analytical blogs, and news. 

  For cricket, we also provide Live Predictions and a Fantasy Dashboard to help users that play daily fantasy games. 

  We are constantly developing new features to give our users a deeper understanding of the game.

   

  What do the Predictions mean?

  The predictions are not indicative of the betting odds, nor the margin of victory. It is simply the likelihood of a particular outcome given all the parameters of the match. 

  For example, if Team A has a 55% chance of winning, it means that if the match was played 100 times with the same parameters, Team A would win 55 times.

• "How" Questions

  How do I check the Predictions and when do they come out?

  The Cricket predictions are up on our website after the toss, usually about 30 minutes before the match. 

  Football predictions are up 12-24 hours before the game. 

  Basketball predictions are up 12-24 hours before the game.

  The predictions for all ongoing matches are available at a glance through the cards on the home page.

  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 the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. 

  We started predicting football matches in 2018 with the FIFA World Cup, where we correctly predicted France to win, pre-tournament! 

  We started predicting basketball matches in 2018 with the 2018-2019 NBA Season.

• "Analytics" Questions

  How does Predict22 make its pre-match predictions?

  We use an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), a machine learning technique, we process all relevant historical data and highlight the pre-match favourites for the match. The team with the highest probability is the favourite for winning the match. 

  There are various factors taken into consideration by the algorithm and they vary across the three sports. In a nutshell, they consist of, but are not limited to, past performance of players and teams in recent matches against a given opposition. 

   

  Can a pre-match prediction change?

  No. Our algorithm takes into account all relevant factors to the prediction before the match begins. Nothing changes the pre-match prediction once it has been made. 

   

  How regularly is the data updated?

  All data for cricket, football, and basketball is updated into our database every 45 seconds.

   

  How far back does Predict22 collect data?

  For Cricket: All data from every T20 match that has occurred, and all one-day matches from 2001 are taken into account. 

  For Football: All data across all the football leagues covered for the past 25 years is taken into account. (ISL data has been collected since 2013, the year of the league inception)

  For Basketball: All NBA matches for the past 10 years (since 2009) are taken into account.

   

  How do the predictions differ across the three different sports? 

  Football has 3 possibilities including a draw. The predictions for football have a much wider range than cricket or basketball predictions, and due to three possible outcomes, the favourite team is simply the team with the highest prediction. It need not be above 50%. 

  In Cricket, we ignore the possibility of a tie, so there are only two possibilities. The T20 format is particularly close to call with predictions ranging from 51% - 59% for the favourite team. 

  Basketball has an extensive amount of past data, coupled with the continuity between teams, the expected performance is well-modeled and thus the predictions generally range from 51%-85% for the favourite teams. 

   

  What is the live match probability in cricket? How is this calculated?

  The live match 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.

   

  Where can I find stats?

  Stats for players can be found by selecting the tournament/series you are looking for, hover over the dropdown and select stats. 

  From this page, you can type the player's name in the search box or you can filter the players by team and position. 

   

  How to use the Fantasy Dashboard?

  The fantasy dashboard is a tool to help fans who play daily fantasy games, select the best players for their teams. You can compare players to each other in the ‘player comparison’ section. You can also use our recommended team as a starting point for your own fantasy dream team. 

• "Cricket" Questions

  How does Predict22 make its pre-match predictions for cricket?

  We provide pre-match win predictions and live match win predictions. 

  To facilitate these algorithms, a host of secondary algorithms related to player and team rankings and performance have been developed as well. 

   

  When is the pre-match prediction made? 

  Pre Match predictions are made 5-10 minutes after the teams are announced. 

   

  Do you consider the pitch report for making predictions?

  We consider the general tendency of a particular ground through past matches. However, we currently have no mechanism of accurately assimilating the matchday 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 72%. We have predicted over 1964 matches, getting 1419 predictions correct so far.
