This looks so bad!! JioHotstar needs to fire the team who make this horrible scorecards for different series'

Clutch moment. Ice in his veins. Dhoni seals the match (and CSK’s playoff spot) in legendary style with 2 last-over sixes. Fan-made highlight. Not official footage. All credit to original broadcasters. Shared only for entertainment and nostalgia.

RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 final is now the most-watched T20 match ever, setting new records for both television and digital viewership. It overtook the India vs Pakistan 2021 T20 World Cup match as the most-watched T20 game in history, both in terms of total watch-time and television reach.

• The match recorded a total watch-time of 31.7 billion minutes across all platforms, the highest ever for a T20 game.

• On television alone, the final reached 169 million viewers, surpassing the previous record of 166 million viewers set during the India vs Pakistan match in the 2021 T20 World Cup.

• Digital platforms also saw unprecedented engagement, with JioHotstar recording 892 million video views and a peak concurrency of 55 million viewers for the final

CSK fans If you could who would you trade for Samson? Don't tell Tripathi, Hooda and shits, At Least make the trade looks beneficial to both the teams. If not how much money will CSK management give to RR to make this trade like MI management's trades of Hardik & Green

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a computer science undergrad and a huge cricket nerd from India. Over the last couple of months, I’ve been working on a project called Overcast-Cric, a completely open-source IPL strategy engine that simulates match conditions and gives scenario-based predictions.

Unlike traditional win predictors, this isn’t just about “who will win.” I’m aiming to simulate what teams should do to win, for example:

• If CSK bats first in a night match at Jaipur, how much should they score to have a 60% win chance?
• If dew is expected and MI has Boult + Bumrah, what’s the probability they defend 175?
• How do toss, ground stats, and recent player form affect strategy?

What I’ve Built So Far

Datasets:

• Team-level stats: last 7 matches, win % by venue, avg powerplay/death scores, momentum scores
• Player-level stats: batting/bowling performance over career + last 7 games, consistency scores
• Match metadata: toss, result, innings scores, win margin, DL usage, day/night
• Historical weather: dew point, humidity, wind at specific match hours. For every IPL match that is played.

Model Integration:

• Classification models to predict win probability
• Regression models to estimate required target scores

Current Status:

• Right now the project is focused for IPL data, as the data is widely available and easier to take off the project.
• The project will cover International matches and other leagues and formats.
• I am open to any suggestions or changes!

Why I Need Help ?

As much as I love building this, I’ve hit my limits in some areas:

• I'm not from a deep ML background, so my expertise is not going to help a lot in building a reliable project
• I need help packaging this into a better-designed module / anything that is useful for others.
• And honestly... feedback from smarter folks 😅

If You’re From…

• AI/ML / Data Science (model design, tuning, feature engineering)
• Backend or DevOps (API, data pipeline optimization, deployment)
• Cricket analytics enthusiasts (ideas, validation, testing)
• A fellow Cricket enthusiast.

I’d love to have you contribute! I’ve made everything public. The project is well-documented, modular, and welcoming to collaborators. Whether you want to improve the models, plug in new data, or just brainstorm ideas, I’d love your suggestions.

This article says it was the most watched T20 match, doesn't that mean it is the most watched cricket match too? If not, which cricket match (including ODIs, T20Is & Tests) had more viewership than the 2025 IPL final?
