Right, so we are into the final week before ICC Cricket World Cup and the customary World Cup fever has just kicked in.
There’s no more Cricket to talk about for the next one week, leaving the fans around the world with nothing but ample time to take out their microscopes and analyze the teams participating in the contest through various statistical views, angles and dimensions.
Is there any right statistical view that could provide definitive evaluation of the teams participating in the World Cup 2019? The simple answer is, no – unless resorting to such methods and algorithms that become too complicated for a common fan to comprehend. Instead, there are quite a few popular views to benchmark the contestants of the World Cup.
One of such scenario is analysis of teams since the last World Cup. To make it even more relevant, let’s take look at the teams, specifically, against each other since the last World Cup, held in 2015.
That pretty much reflects the form of participating teams amongst each other in the last 4 years.
Moving on, let’s take a quick look at how teams have fared against the other 9 teams in this period, starting with Pakistan
