The most anticipated ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has come to an end, with Australia sealing the trophy in the final against India.
Over the past month, we witnessed excellent performances by players and teams, which made this one of the most exciting World Cups ever. Now that this unforgettable tournament is over, we wanted to recap the key highlights that emerged from the data.
Tracking key metrics lets us, the cricket fans, analyze player and team performance, make comparisons across tournaments, and have data-driven debates on who the GOATs are.
That's why we at Zoho Analytics built an interactive dashboard to visualize all the important stats and metrics from ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

Steps to create the Cricket World Cup 2023 dashboard
We have used Zoho DataPrep and Zoho Analytics to create this dashboard. Below are the steps followed:
- Connect data
- Prepare data and make it analysis-ready
- Visualize data
- Build the dashboard
- Publish the dashboard
1. Connect data
To create any sports dashboard, we rely on publicly available data. We carefully selected reputable sports websites that update their data daily.
To import data from these websites, we used Zoho DataPrep, our AI-powered data preparation tool that helps users import and prepare data from different data sources.
We also scheduled the import so that the data gets updated daily without any manual interruption.
2. Prepare data and make it analysis-ready
Importing data from diverse sources often comes with challenges due to varying formats. Zoho DataPrep however, streamlines this process.
After importing, we ensured data consistency, and with Zoho Analytics, we consolidated all data into a single query table.
Below is a video of how we prepared the data using Zoho DataPrep and created SQL queries with Zoho Analytics.
Note: Zoho Analytics customers in Premium and Enterprise plans have the data preparation module available within the app.
3. Visualize data
After creating the query tables, we transformed the raw data into different data visualizations like bar charts and pie charts. Creating these visualizations with Zoho Analytics was simple with its drag-and-drop interface.
Watch this screen recording to see how we brought our data to life.
4. Build the dashboard
With our reports in place, we organized them based on tabs for the dashboard. We also created a list of KPI widgets for each tab and seamlessly added them to the dashboard using the intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
5. Publish the dashboard
Once the dashboard was ready, we were eager to share it with the public. Zoho Analytics offers various options to publish the dashboard, including a link and a dedicated portal.
We made all the views public, copied the dashboard's embed link, and embedded it into the Zoho Sites portal.
And there you have it – a glance through the Cricket World Cup 2023 dashboard powered by Zoho Analytics and the steps we used to create it.
We hope going through the numbers and metrics from the tournament brought back great memories from the past month of thrilling cricket action.
As cricket enthusiasts, we understand the importance of data and visualizations, whether making fantasy picks or simply settling the debate with your friends.
We hope our dashboard captured the stats that matter most to you as a cricket fan. We have also created sports dashboards for IPL 2023, FIFA 2022, and more. You can check them out here.
