 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Indian and Australian cricket teams are two of the most successful teams in the world,
and they have a long and storied rivalry. Both teams have a rich history of producing world-
class players, and they have consistently challenged for major trophies.

Australia has a slight edge over India in terms of overall performance. The Aussies have won
58 Test matches against India, while India has won 43. In ODIs, Australia has won 140
matches against India, while India has won 128. In T20Is, Australia has won 13 matches
against India, while India has won 12.

However, India has the better record in ICC tournaments. India has won two World Cups
(1983 and 2011), while Australia has won one (1987). India has also won two Champions
Trophies (2002 and 2013), while Australia has not won the tournament since 2006.

In the field, Australia has a better record than India. Australia is known for its aggressive and
athletic fielding, while India's fielding has been inconsistent in recent years.

Overall, Australia has a slight edge over India in terms of overall performance. However,
India has a number of world-class players in its team, and it is capable of beating Australia on
any given day.

 INTRODUCTION

The Indian and Australian cricket teams are two of the most successful teams in the world,
with a long and storied rivalry. Both teams have a rich history of producing world-class
players, and they have consistently challenged for major trophies.

An analytical study of the Indian and Australian cricket teams can provide valuable insights
into the factors that contribute to success in the game. It can also help to identify areas where
other teams can improve, and it can generate interest and excitement in the rivalry between
the two teams.

This study will focus on the following key areas: Coaching and player development
philosophies, Team culture and values, Domestic cricket structures, Access to resources and
infrastructure, playing styles and strategies, Relative strengths and weaknesses in each
discipline of the game, Areas where the two teams can learn from each other, Future trends in
the rivalry between the two teams.

The study will draw on a variety of sources of data, including: Statistical analysis of player
and team performance, Interviews with coaches, players, and other stakeholders,
Observational studies of training sessions and matches, Academic literature on cricket and
sport science

It is hoped that this study will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the
factors that contribute to success in cricket, and that it will be of interest to coaches, players,
administrators, and fans alike.

OBJECTIVES

14
 OBJECTIVES

✔ To identify the factors that has contributed to the success of both teams.
✔ To identify areas where the two teams can learn from each other.
✔ To identify key strengths and weaknesses of each team across different formats
(Tests, ODIs, T20Is).
✔ To identify areas for improvement in batting, bowling, and fielding.

15
SCOPE & CHALLENGES

16
 SCOPE

A historical performance can provide insights into their relative strengths and weaknesses
over time. A current form can provide insights into their relative strengths and
weaknesses at a given point in time. A performance in different playing conditions can
provide insights into their adaptability and versatility. A team dynamic can provide
insights into their strengths and weaknesses in terms of leadership, teamwork, and
morale. A players can provide insights into their relative strengths and weaknesses in
different positions and disciplines.

CHALLENGES

 Data availability and comparability: It can be challenging to find comprehensive

and comparable data on the two teams. For example, the two countries have different
cricket cultures and playing conditions. This can make it difficult to compare the
performance of the two teams in a meaningful way.

 Subjectivity and bias: It can be difficult to avoid subjectivity and bias in a

comparative study of two teams. For example, a researcher from India may be more
likely to focus on the Indian team's strengths and downplay its weaknesses.
Conversely, a researcher from Australia may be more likely to focus on the Australian
team's strengths and downplay its weaknesses.

 Complexity: A comparative study of two top cricket teams is a complex task. There
are many factors to consider, such as the teams' historical performance, current form,
playing conditions, team dynamics, and player comparison. It can be challenging to
synthesize all of this information into a coherent and insightful analysis.

RESEARCH & METHODOLOGY

18
 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research has to proceed systematically in the already planned direction with the help of a
number of steps in sequence to make the research systemized the researcher has to adopt
certain methods. The method adopted by the researcher for completing the project is called as
Research Methodology.

Research is a systematic process of identifying the problems, defining the problems,

identifying the variables/ indicators to address these problems, collecting, compiling,
processing and analysing data to assess the inherent characteristics of the phenomenon under
study and to identify the objective basis for arriving at a correct/reliable decision.

A Research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.
A Research is purely and simply the framework and plan for the study that guides the
collection and analysis of data. It is a blue print that is followed in completing a study.

We can say describe research as follows:

1. Research is an art of scientific investigation.

2. Research is a process of systematic study.

3. Research is a search of knowledge.

4. Research is an area of investigation which includes collection, analysis and Interpretation.

1. Primary Data: -
The main data of the study were collected from questionnaires. Primary data is collected
through statistical calculation and analysis processes. This is a somewhat precise method
followed to obtain certain results. To obtain primary data directly from the respondents, a
structured questionnaire in the form of an online survey was used. The specific technology,
called "Google Forms," allows anyone to construct their unique question structure and
quickly post it online.

19
The primary data will be collected through an online survey. The survey will be conducted on
a sample size of 60 respondents who are regular users of Flipkart and Amazon. The survey
will include questions related to their shopping behaviour, preferences, and satisfaction level
with the platform.

2. Secondary Data: -

The process of collecting secondary data is much easier than collecting primary data. The
information here has been gathered using sources already available. Data was collected from
external sources through published research papers and case studies available online. This
study also used secondary data such as published research papers, the internet, websites, etc.

The secondary data will be collected through various sources such as company reports,
industry reports, and research papers. The secondary data will be used to analyze the market
share, marketing strategies, and competitive advantage of Flipkart and Amazon.

3. Data Collection Method: -

 Research design: Research design was exploratory in nature where self-prepared
questionnaire and Likert's scale were used for the collection and interpretation of the
data.
 Sample size: The sample size of this research is 60 respondents.
 Sampling elements: the individual respondents were the sampling elements. All
individual respondents are of the age 20-35 years and out of which most of the
respondents are students this sample group is selected because customers of this age
group are more active on internet.

20
 Methods of Data Analysis and Statistical Techniques:

 Analytical tools used for visualization:

1) Tableau: Tableau is primarily used for data visualization and business intelligence as
a way of sharing and analysing information. Tableau is a suite of products comprised of
desktop, public, online, server and reader tools that streamline the visualization and
sharing of data.

2) Excel: Excel is a spreadsheet application used to analyse and explore your data so you
can make the best decisions.

 Collect data:
Collect the data from relevant sources, such as transactional databases or external data
sources.

 Clean and transform data:

Use Excel or Tubule data preparation tools to clean and transform the data as needed,
such as removing duplicates, handling missing values, or creating calculated columns.
Create data models: Use Excel and Tableau data modelling tools to create relationships
between tables, define measures and hierarchies, and create custom calculations using
DAX.

 Design reports and visualizations:

Excel and Tableau report design tools to create visualizations that best represent the data
and answer the research question. Choose the appropriate type of visualizations, such as
bar charts, line charts, or maps, based on the nature of the data and the research question.

21
 Analyze data:
Analyze the data using the visualizations created in step 5. Identify patterns and trends in
the data and use them to draw conclusions about the research question. Interpret results:
Interpret the results and draw conclusions about the data analysis.

 Discuss findings:
Discuss the findings and implications of the research. Consider the limitations of the
study and suggest future research.

The main statistical tool used for the analysis of data is Graphical Analysis.

 Graphical Analysis:
Graphical analysis is a graphical depiction of data using charts, figures, and graphs.

The types of graphs used for analysis and visualization are:

1. Bar Charts

2. Clustered Bar Charts

3. Pie Charts

4. Donut Charts

5. Column Charts

6. Line Charts

7. Scatter Plots

22
 Key concepts and Definitions:

1. Bar Chart: - Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be

plotted in a bar chart. Bar charts illustrate comparisons among individual items. In a
bar chart, the categories are typically organized along the vertical axis, and the values
along the horizontal axis.

2. Clustered Bar Charts: - A clustered bar chart shows bars in 2-D format.

3. Pie Charts: - Data that's arranged in one column or row on a worksheet can be
plotted in a pie chart. Pie charts show the size of items in one data series, proportional
to the sum of the items. The data points in a pie chart are shown as a percentage of the
whole pie.

4. Donut Charts: - Data that's arranged in columns or rows only on a worksheet can
be plotted in a donut chart.

5. Column Charts: - Data that’s arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be

plotted in a column chart. A column chart typically displays categories along the
horizontal (category) axis and values along the vertical (value) axis.

6. Line Charts: - Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be

plotted in a line chart. In a line chart, category data is distributed evenly along the
horizontal axis, and all value data is distributed evenly along the vertical axis.

7. Scatter Plots: - It represents data points on a two-dimensional plane or on a

Cartesian system.

23
LIMITATIONS

24
 LIMITATIONS

 Analysing only matches from January 2023 to December 2023 offers a snapshot,
neglecting historical context and long-term trends.

 Analysing all formats together masks format-specific strengths and weaknesses.

 Statistics alone cannot capture the influence of external factors like weather, injuries,
player fatigue, and home/away advantage

 The choice of statistical models and metrics can influence the interpretation of data.

 Analysing data too closely can lead to overfitting, where the model performs well on
the training data but fails to generalize to new scenarios.

 Interpretation of data and suggestions for improvement involve subjective judgment.
