Abstract - Cricket is a popular sport played in many countries around the world, predominantly in South Asia, Australia, and England. Cricket generates an enormous amount of data, and it can be a tedious task to analyze individual performance without having the proper tools. Business Intelligence tools are software applications that are designed to collect, analyze, and present data in a way that helps organizations make informed decisions. By using these tools, teams, and analysts can make data-driven decisions in areas such as team selection, strategy, and performance improvement. This paper discusses the use of Power BI, an open-source business intelligence tool, for analyzing ODI cricket data. Power BI was officially launched by Microsoft in 2015 and is capable of providing interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities. It allows users to connect to a wide range of data sources, share insights with others, and create interactive dashboards. The tool is known for its easy-to-use user interface and ability to handle large volumes of data. This paper explains the dashboard design and development phase, including data sources used, visualizations chosen, and user interface. It also explores potential dashboard applications and how they can be used to make data-driven decisions in the cricket industry. A detailed explanation of the process involved in creating a Power BI dashboard for ODI cricket analysis is given. This paper aims to explain how data can be cleaned and transformed using the Power Query Editor. Vibrant visualizations have been chosen for this dashboard, including bar charts, scatter plots, heat maps, and tables, and the use of these visualizations to help identify patterns in the data that can be used to make informed decisions is explored. Finally, potential applications of this dashboard in the cricket industry have been explored. They suggest that it could be used by coaches to analyze player performance or by team managers to identify areas for improvement. They also discuss how it could be used by broadcasters to enhance their coverage of ODI matches. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive guide to using Power BI for ODI cricket analysis and it demonstrates how this powerful tool can be used to transform raw data into actionable insights that can drive decision-making in the cricket industry.
