To analyze the match, participants will be given access to data before IPL matches that include information on player performance, team performance and match outcomes. Participants have to use the given information to predict each team's power play score for the next matches.

Based on the difference between the expected and actual results, points will be awarded to the participants. At the end of the content, the winners will receive prizes at “Paradox '23”, the annual techno-cultural event of the BS program.
