SLIIT International Hosts Bond University Experts for Insightful Sports Analytics Session
SLIIT International was delighted to welcome distinguished guests from Bond University — Prof. Steven Stern, Head of Data Analytics and custodian of the renowned Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method, together with Mr. Shaik Ahmed, Regional Director, and Mr. Sushant Sareen, Student Recruitment Manager.
The visit featured an engaging and insightful student session titled “Decision Theory in Sports: How Mathematics Decided World Cup Matches.” Students had the opportunity to explore how mathematical modelling, probability, and data analytics influence real-time decision-making in cricket and other sports — including the famous system that has shaped outcomes in international matches such as the ICC Cricket World Cup.
The session sparked curiosity and discussion among students, highlighting how data science, analytics, and mathematics intersect with sports strategy and global sporting events. It was an inspiring opportunity for our students to gain insights from leading experts in the field and to understand how analytical thinking can transform decision-making in high-pressure environments.
SLIIT International looks forward to strengthening its collaboration with Bond University and continuing to create meaningful opportunities that connect students with global expertise and industry knowledge
