Exploring the Strength of Batting Partnerships in T-20 Cricket
Abstract
This study examines the batting partnerships of three major cricket teams—Pakistan, India, and Australia—using K-Means clustering to categorize player pairs based on their performance. Bar charts and frequency tables highlight the top partnerships for each team, with key pairings such as Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam for Pakistan, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma for India, and David Warner and Aaron Finch for Australia. K-Means clustering further categorizes partnerships into performance clusters, providing insights into each team’s strengths and weaknesses. The analysis reveals that India has the strongest partnerships, with more consistent high-performing clusters, while Pakistan and Australia have a wider range of both strong and weak partnerships
