Originating in medieval England, cricket has evolved into one of the most loved and 
widely followed sports, extending its influence far beyond its birthplace. Unlike many 
sports, cricket boasts a unique blend of strategy, skill, and endurance, captivating 
audiences with its dynamic and often unpredictable nature. Over the years, cricket has 
undergone a remarkable transformation, with numerous changes and adaptations contributing 
to the dynamic nature of the sport. In this talk I will present a detailed statistical 
analysis of key performance indicators (PIs) in One Day International (ODI) cricket from 
1987 to 2023, focusing on how these indicators have evolved and influenced match 
outcomes. I used a range of methods, including Cohen’s effect size, trend analysis using 
Mann-Kendall tests, correlation analysis and cluster analysis, to study the effect of 
chosen PIs on winning the game. The results of this study could offer practical 
guidelines for teams to optimise their strategies in order to improve performance.
