ABOUT CRICMIND.AI
CricMind.ai was built on a conviction that cricket fans deserve better than opinion-based predictions and recycled press conference quotes. The Indian Premier League generates more structured, analysable data per match than almost any other sporting event on the planet. Twenty overs, 120 deliveries minimum, each with associated metadata covering bowling speed, shot selection, field placement context, and match situation variables. Multiply that across two innings per match, 74 matches per season, and 18 completed seasons, and you have a dataset of extraordinary depth. Yet most cricket coverage treats this data as an afterthought. CricMind treats it as the foundation.
MISSION AND VISION
CricMind's mission is to be the AI intelligence layer for the IPL. Not a scores site. Not a fantasy cricket platform. Not a news aggregator. CricMind is the platform that tells fans why something happened, what will happen next, and how confident the AI is in that assessment. Every visitor should feel like they have access to a private analyst whispering insights during every match. The vision is to bring the quantitative rigour of financial analytics and the editorial quality of The Athletic to cricket coverage, powered by artificial intelligence rather than a traditional newsroom.
The platform launched on March 28, 2026, the opening day of IPL 2026, with over 180 pages of content including player profiles for every squad member, team intelligence assessments for all ten franchises, venue reports for every IPL ground, head-to-head analysis for all 45 team combinations, and pre-seeded predictions for all 74 matches. Since launch, the content library has grown to over 600 articles covering pre-match previews, post-match tactical debriefs, player deep-dives, and thematic analyses.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
The core of CricMind is the Oracle Engine, a proprietary three-layer prediction system. The Macro layer evaluates 17 weighted factors before each match: exponential moving average form (18 percent), head-to-head records (14 percent), venue advantage (10 percent), travel fatigue (8 percent), player availability (8 percent), pitch conditions (7 percent), psychological momentum (7 percent), market signals (6 percent), ARIMA trend forecasting (5 percent), and Black-Scholes volatility modelling (5 percent), among others. This layer runs 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations to produce probability distributions with confidence intervals. The Meso layer recalculates every over during live matches based on required run rate, partnership strength, bowling attack quality, and phase control metrics. The Micro layer updates after every single delivery in under 100 milliseconds, computing ball-impact deltas that capture the immediate tactical significance of each event.
Natural language intelligence is powered by Anthropic Claude AI models. Claude Sonnet handles deep analysis articles and pre-match prediction reports, while Claude Haiku processes real-time ball-by-ball commentary during live matches for speed. All AI outputs pass through an automated validation system that cross-checks player names, team rosters, captain designations, and statistical claims against a verified IPL 2026 truth database. The platform runs on Next.js 14 deployed on Vercel with Supabase for database operations, Upstash Redis for caching, Firebase Realtime Database for WebSocket-based live updates, and the Roanuz Cricket API for ball-by-ball match data.

Is CricMind affiliated with the BCCI or IPL?
No. CricMind.ai is an independent analytics platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Indian Premier League (IPL), or any IPL franchise. All IPL-related trademarks belong to their respective owners. CricMind uses IPL data for editorial, journalistic, and educational purposes under fair use principles. All predictions are clearly labelled as AI-generated analysis for entertainment purposes.
How quickly does CricMind respond to enquiries?
During the IPL season (March through May), our average response time for general enquiries is under 24 hours. API partnership enquiries are prioritised and typically receive a response within 12 hours. Press enquiries marked as urgent are addressed same business day. Outside the IPL season, response times may extend to 48 hours. For the fastest response, include a clear subject line indicating your enquiry type (Partnership, API, Press, Advertising, or Support) so your message is routed to the correct team member.
Can I request a custom analysis or report from CricMind?
CricMind offers custom analytical reports for corporate clients, media organisations, and cricket industry professionals. Custom reports can cover specific team assessments, player scouting profiles, venue-specific intelligence, historical pattern analysis, and tournament projection models.

We also accept topic suggestions for our public analysis section, which readers can submit via hello@cricmind.ai or through the Argument Settler feature at /argue.
Does CricMind have a mobile app?
CricMind.ai is built as a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means it functions like a native app on both Android and iOS devices without requiring a download from an app store. On Android, Chrome will prompt you to "Add to Home Screen" after visiting the site twice. On iOS, tap the share button in Safari and select "Add to Home Screen." The PWA provides offline fallback (showing last known match state), push notifications for match events, and full-screen live match viewing. A dedicated native app is on the long-term roadmap but the PWA currently delivers equivalent functionality.

CricMind follows data minimisation principles. Authentication is handled via Supabase Auth using Google OAuth or email OTP, with no passwords stored. User data collected includes favourite team selection (optional), prediction voting history, and notification preferences. We do not sell user data to third parties. Analytics are collected via PostHog for product improvement. Full details are available in our privacy policy at /privacy. For data deletion requests or privacy concerns, contact legal@cricmind.ai.
