T20 World Cup Cricket Data Analytics – Team Selection & Dashboard with Python + Power BI

This project provides a data-driven deep dive into the 2022 T20 Cricket World Cup, with a creative twist. It starts with scraping match and player data from ESPNcricinfo, processes the data using Python (Pandas), and visualizes it via an interactive Power BI dashboard. It provides a detailed breakdown of individual and team performances, using advanced data modeling and DAX calculations in Power BI. The project ends with an algorithmically chosen Best XI players based on performance statistics.
