Data visualization is one field that has kept me captivated for some time now. The graphics published in sites like FT, Reuters, or NYT made me wonder why I don’t spend time on the skill.
The good volume and variety of data that is available is available all the time. Share market—daily; IPL—yearly. I find each of the cricket matches, no matter if they are Test, ODI, or T20, generates so much data. I tried once with the ODI World Cup; it’s not at all a good one. It’s been a couple of years, and I’m planning to visualize this IPL. My preferred tool is D3JS, and even with that, I’m limited to a few shapes.
IPL is long; inclusive of the final and playoffs, we have 74 matches. Considering the length, we have 2 options.
Option 1
Projecting each match with both the innings on either side of the row and aggregate score at over level.
We can add some colors with scoring or wickets on each of the over. Also, we can add team’s color to differentiate. them.
Option 2
This is projecting at match level and aggregating to see the average score/wickets at each over. This will be restricted for a match.
Even in this one we can make it colorful and bring out something easier on eyes.
