This study scrutinizes Rajasthan Royals' batting performance in the IPL 2022 season, focusing on runs, boundaries, and sixes scored by the players. Analyzing match data reveals the pivotal role of specific batting orders in determining match outcomes. The findings underscore the dominance of the top-order batsmen in establishing solid foundations across Matches 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 12, contributing significantly to the total score. Conversely, the mid-order players showcased their impact in Matches 2, 4, and 8, consolidating and leading the scoring. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the hitters in the lower order had little impact on the total score in each and every match, which is an indication of their difficulty in making significant contributions. These findings lend credence to the hypothesis that the top and middle-order batting performances in Indian Premier League cricket matches significantly determine the outcome of the matches. They also highlight the importance of having a strong and dependable batting line-up in order to achieve consistent success. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize particular match outcomes that are determined by the performance of various batting orders and to correlate these outcomes with the general conclusions of the study.
