Cricket has become a sport where analytics, performance optimization, and predictive
insights play a crucial role in understanding team performance, match outcomes, and player
trends. This project presents a comprehensive sports analytics system that integrates SQL
databases, machine learning models, web scraping, sentiment analysis, and weather
forecasting to deliver in-depth cricket insights. The system enables user authentication
through an SQL database, ensuring a secure and personalized experience. It extracts live
match data and displays upcoming fixtures in real time using web scraping with Beautiful
Soup. The Winning Prediction Model, developed using Logistic Regression and Random
Forest Classifier, achieves 83% accuracy in forecasting match outcomes based on crucial
parameters such as target to chase, present score, wickets fallen, and overs bowled. The
system continuously updates match-winning probabilities, helping users make informed
decisions. Additionally, it extracts ICC team rankings for Test, ODI, and T20 formats using
web scraping, providing up-to-date information on top-performing teams worldwide.
Beyond match predictions, the project introduces player sentiment analysis using YouTube
comments, where users input a YouTube video URL, and the system fetches comments via
the YouTube API. Sentiment analysis using Text Blob determines public perception about
a player or match based on positive, neutral, or negative feedback. Furthermore, the system
integrates a weather forecasting module using a Weather API, which provides real-time
weather conditions for match venues and predicts the next five days' weather to assist in
match planning. By combining machine learning, natural language processing, and real-
time web scraping, this system offers a holistic cricket analytics platform, enhancing the
fan experience and aiding sports analysts in making data-driven decisions

below. The results of the system can be expressed and evaluated in terms of the output screen.
The output screen can be used to show the objectives set at the beginning are achieved at the
end
PROJECT FLOW:
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:
• For future work, the project can be further expanded by incorporating more
advanced machine learning models and deep learning techniques to enhance the
accuracy of match predictions, including features such as player form, historical
match data, and team dynamics.
• Additionally, real-time data analysis could be enriched by integrating more data
sources, such as player injury reports, match strategies, and in-depth weather
forecasts from multiple providers, for improved prediction reliability.
• The sentiment analysis on YouTube comments could be further refined by using
NLP models like BERT or GPT, improving its understanding of context and nuance
in fan reactions.
• A mobile app version could be developed to offer users a more accessible and
interactive experience, with push notifications for live match updates, score
predictions, and weather conditions.
• Furthermore, integrating more sports, such as football or basketball, could expand
the platform’s reach, providing comprehensive real-time sports analytics across
multiple disciplines.
• Additionally, the implementation of AI-powered video summarization or highlights
generation from matches could add another layer of engagement for users.
• By continuing to incorporate cutting-edge technologies and expanding its scope, the
project has the potential to revolutionize sports analytics platforms and deliver
deeper, more actionable insight
