Evaluation of Bowler’s Performance in Cricket Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

The result of a match is a win when one side scores more runs than the opposing side and all the innings of the team that has fewer runs have been completed. The performance evaluation in cricket is very critical issue in this game. It makes effect on international ranking of players. The evaluation of individual player performances in one-day cricket is based on measures such as batting and bowling averages, and strike and economy rates. It is accepted, within the game of cricket, that such measures have several limitations in assessing the true performances and abilities of players because it doesn’t consider the factors like opposite team, weather conditions, Pitch conditions, Target Score. In this paper, we purposed a fuzzy logic based method to evaluate the performance of bowler that consider the factors missing in existing methods.
