Cricket Analytics Certification

The Cricket Analytics Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests cricket analytics — formats from Test to ODI and T20, batting metrics such as average, strike rate and boundary percentage, bowling metrics including economy rate, bowling average and strike rate, dot-ball and phase analysis across powerplay, middle and death overs, matchups between batters and bowler types, ball-tracking data and pitch maps, wagon wheels, the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method, win probability models, player valuation for T20 leagues and auctions, fielding metrics, captaincy and toss decisions, and data from leagues such as the IPL — written to ICC playing conditions, MCC Laws and cricket analytics practice for 2026 and 2027. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Cricket Analytics certificate (SOA-CRIC). Every question is based on published standards and research — including ICC playing conditions and the Laws of Cricket (International Cricket Council), The Laws of Cricket (Marylebone Cricket Club), FanGraphs Sabermetrics Library (FanGraphs) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: ICC playing conditions and the Laws of Cricket (International Cricket Council); The Laws of Cricket (Marylebone Cricket Club); FanGraphs Sabermetrics Library (FanGraphs); Fundamentals of Data Visualization (Claus O. Wilke) (O'Reilly / author site); Fantasy sports industry research (Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Formats and Metrics (Formats and laws, Batting metrics and Bowling metrics); Strategy and Data (Phases and matchups, Ball-tracking and Toss and captaincy); Models, Value and Auctions (DLS and win probability, Player valuation and Fielding and fitness); Tools, Leagues and Practice (Data and tools, Franchise leagues and Ethics and communication). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

DLS sets revised targets in rain-affected limited-overs matches by estimating the resources (overs and wickets) each team had available, so interruptions are handled fairly.

Scoring rates, field restrictions and risk differ greatly between the powerplay, middle overs and death overs, so player roles and value are best judged phase by phase.
