Abstract:
|
There are several studies in the literature that have shown the significance of the home field advantage towards the outcome of limited-overs cricket matches. Some of these studies have also shown that the winning the toss does not give any significant advantage for the victory of matches. Authors will show some surprising new findings related to the significance of the home field advantage and winning the toss by analyzing limited-overs cricket data separately for "Day" and "Day/Night" matches. Quantile regression and logistic regression will be applied on the data obtained from previous matches for model fitting.
