Data Cleaning in Cricket Data Analysis

Data Cleaning

Real-world datasets are rarely perfect. Missing values, duplicate records, and inconsistent entries can affect the quality of analysis.

Data cleaning improves the reliability of the dataset before performing calculations or creating visualizations.

Common cleaning tasks include:

  • Removing duplicate records
  • Handling missing values
  • Correcting inconsistent team names
  • Converting data into appropriate formats
  • Removing unnecessary columns

For example, if the winner column contains missing values due to abandoned matches, these records should be handled carefully before calculating team win statistics.

Proper data cleaning ensures that the results accurately represent the underlying data.
