Extra Delivery, Free Hit and IPL

Less than a week away from the Universe Cricket Carnival, IPL 2021. This post is not to do any prediction analytics as Cricket is the great game of uncertainties. 


A Research was carried in in 2014 to find out the outcome of the extra deliveries in Cricket. As there is a common belief when there No ball or wide ball is delivered, extra delivery will cost heavily for the fielding team. This research was done in order to validate the claim and with the above research, the claim was rejected. However, since the data was captured for matches played at different venues and times, there were questions of the research credibility. 
New validation research will be done on IPL 2021 data. 
These are the guidelines for the data collection. 
1. Full completed innings are considered. In the case of rain, the number of overs will be reduced and that will have a different impact hence those matches/innings are ignored. 
2. If there are two extra deliveries in one over that over will not be considered for extra delivery analysis but will be considered for the free hit analysis. 
3. Half completed overs will not be considered for Extra Delivery Analysis and will be considered for the Free hit. 

Parameters to Consider
There are many parameters to be considered. Name of the Bowler, Team of the Bowler, Name of the Batsmen, Team of the Batsmen, Runs scored by the Batsmen at time of facing the delivery, Number of Deliveries faced by the Batsmen at the time of facing the delivery, Ball Number, Runs in the Previous Over, Runs in After Over, Runs of the overs, Is Batsmen Changed, Score in Free Hit, Scores in the Extra Delivery, Power Play Partnership, Partnership Runs, Partnership Deliveries Wicket in Same Over, Over Number, Ground, T20 Stas of the Bowler and the Batsmen data will be collected. 
Still, the model is at the development stage and will be released next week. Any other data to be considered? Let me know.
