Abstract

This study applies **Logistic Regression**, a binary classification algorithm, to predict outcomes of **Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025** matches. Using features such as **team form, head-to-head history, player performance, and weather**, the model achieved a **91% prediction accuracy**—outperforming Decision Trees, Random Forest, and SVM. The solution offers a **computationally efficient, interpretable framework** for sports analysts and enthusiasts.

Keywords

Indian Premier League, Machine Learning, Logistic Regression, Binary Classification, Cricket Forecasting.

Conclusion

The use of **Logistic Regression** in IPL match outcome prediction provides a **lightweight and reliable method** for cricket analytics. Future enhancements may include **real-time data integration, advanced AI techniques, and interactive dashboards** to boost prediction precision and user experience for analysts, fans, and strategists alike.
