Abstract
The swing of a cricket ball is a crucial aspect of the game that can greatly impact the outcome of a match. Atmospheric conditions such as humidity, air pressure, and wind speed have been shown to affect the swing of a cricket ball, but the specific mechanisms involved are not well understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of atmospheric conditions on the swing of a cricket ball.
Using a high-speed camera, we recorded the trajectory of a cricket ball under different atmospheric conditions in a controlled environment. We measured the swing angle and the speed of the ball and we analyzed the data using statistical methods.
Our results showed that humidity and air pressure had a significant effect on the swing of the cricket ball, while wind speed had a minimal effect. Specifically, we found that higher humidity and lower air pressure increased the swing angle of the ball. We also observed that the speed of the ball was slightly reduced under high humidity conditions. As we are witnessing in present ongoing Indian Premier League (I.P.L.) 2023.
