IPL AI Oracle 2026 is now live!!

IPL 2026 is now he is now underway! To keep the action alive through analytics, I have now made IPL AI Oracle 2026 to be live with near real-time analytics. This is done with a fully automated pipeline that checks Cricsheet for the latest data updates daily at scheduled times for newly added matches. The pipeline then downloads them, processes them with a yorkr package so that analysis can be done for the following tabs:

General queries
Match analysis
Head to head
Team versus all teams
IPL batting
IPL Bowling

About three years back, I had hosted a Shiny app in R GooglyPlusPlus 2023. This was semi-automated. While the downloads and the processing of the data for the different tabs were done using my R package, yorkr, the Win Probability Analysis was done using a Deep Learning algorithm manually in Google Colab. The weights used to be downloaded and then pushed on to the Shiny app with the other processed data.

Now, I’ve just tied up all the different pieces together, namely:

downloading of the data
the processing of the downloaded match files for the different tabs
and kicking off the Deep Learning algorithm on Kaggle whenever there are more than 3-5 new matches

Check out IPL AI Oracle 2026!

The pipeline is entirely a CRON job, nothing fancy, which executes at scheduled times as specified in the crontab.
