Problem Statement

You are tasked with architecting a comprehensive digital platform for managing professional cricket competitions worldwide. The platform serves as the central hub for cricket enthusiasts, broadcasters, and sports analysts to access real-time scoring, historical data, and in-depth analytics.

The system must handle multiple concurrent international and domestic competitions across different formats (Twenty20, One Day Internationals, and multi-day Test matches). It needs to provide microsecond-accurate ball-by-ball tracking during live games, maintain comprehensive player profiles with career statistics, and support complex queries for historical performance analysis. The platform should enable sports journalists to contribute live commentary synchronized with each delivery, allow tournament organizers to manage fixtures and standings, and provide statistical analysis engines for performance metrics ranging from individual batting averages to team head-to-head records.

Critical challenges include maintaining data consistency during simultaneous updates from multiple matches, handling the hierarchical nature of cricket data (series → matches → innings → overs → balls), supporting various dismissal types and extra deliveries, and providing sub-second latency for millions of concurrent users during major tournaments.

Requirements Analysis

Functional Requirements

1. Match Management:

   • Schedule and configure fixtures for Twenty20, ODI, and Test match formats
   • Define match venues with ground-specific metadata (pitch conditions, boundary dimensions)
   • Assign match officials (on-field umpires, third umpire, match referee)
   • Support both bilateral series and multi-team tournaments
   • Track toss results and playing conditions

2. Live Scoring Engine:

   • Record each delivery with bowler, batsman, runs scored, and delivery type
   • Capture dismissals with detailed information (mode of dismissal, fielders involved)
   • Handle extras (wides, no-balls, byes, leg-byes) with proper run attribution
   • Track over-by-over progression and milestone achievements
   • Support concurrent scoring for multiple matches

3. Team and Squad Management:

   • Maintain franchise/national team rosters
   • Define tournament-specific squads with role classifications (batsman, bowler, all-rounder, wicket-keeper)
   • Select playing eleven for each match with substitution tracking
   • Record player contracts, injuries, and availability status

4. Commentary System:

   • Enable authorized journalists to add real-time commentary
   • Link commentary entries to specific deliveries
   • Support media attachments (images, video clips)
   • Version control for commentary edits

5. Analytics and Statistics:

   • Calculate batting metrics (average, strike rate, centuries, highest score)
   • Compute bowling figures (average, economy, wickets, five-wicket hauls)
   • Generate partnership statistics and fall-of-wicket analysis
   • Support complex queries (performance vs specific opponents, in specific conditions)
   • Maintain all-time records and rankings

6. Tournament Operations:

   • Manage group stages, knockout rounds, and finals
   • Calculate points tables with net run rate
   • Track player awards (man of the match, tournament MVP)
   • Generate fixture schedules with rest day constraints

Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: Sub-100ms response time for score updates; support 10 million concurrent users during World Cup finals
• Scalability: Handle 50+ simultaneous live matches during peak tournament periods
• Reliability: 99.99% uptime during scheduled matches; zero data loss on score updates
• Data Integrity: Guarantee correct sequence of deliveries; prevent duplicate ball entries
• Security: Role-based access control (viewers, scorers, administrators, commentators)
• Audit Trail: Complete history of all score modifications with timestamp and user tracking

Class Diagram

The design incorporates several key patterns:

• Strategy Pattern: Different scoring strategies for T20, ODI, and Test formats
• Observer Pattern: Real-time score updates to subscribed clients
• State Pattern: Match state transitions (Not Started → In Progress → Innings Break → Completed)
• Factory Pattern: Creating format-specific match instances
• Command Pattern: Ball-by-ball operations as reversible commands
• Composite Pattern: Tournament structure with group stages and knockout rounds

Key Design Decisions

1. State Pattern for Match Lifecycle

Rationale: Cricket matches transition through distinct states (Not Started → In Progress → Innings Break → Completed), each with different allowable operations. The State pattern encapsulates state-specific behavior and prevents invalid operations.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Eliminates complex conditional logic; each state handles its own behavior
• ✅ Benefit: Makes state transitions explicit and type-safe
• ❌ Cost: Increases number of classes (one per state)
• ❌ Cost: State transitions require careful validation

Alternative Considered: Using a simple enum with switch statements would be more compact but leads to scattered state logic and harder maintenance.

2. Strategy Pattern for Format-Specific Rules

Rationale: T20, ODI, and Test formats have dramatically different rules (overs limit, powerplays, follow-on). Strategy pattern allows pluggable scoring algorithms without modifying the core CricketMatch class.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Easy to add new formats without changing existing code
• ✅ Benefit: Format-specific logic is isolated and testable
• ✅ Benefit: Supports runtime strategy swapping (e.g., rain-affected matches)
• ❌ Cost: Slight runtime overhead from polymorphism
• ❌ Cost: Increases interface complexity

Implementation Detail: Each strategy validates deliveries, calculates run rates, and determines winners according to format-specific rules (e.g., Duckworth-Lewis for ODIs, super overs for T20).

3. Observer Pattern for Real-Time Updates

Rationale: Multiple subsystems need immediate notification of score changes (live scoreboard, statistics engine, broadcast feeds). Observer pattern decouples score producers from consumers.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Loosely coupled components; easy to add new observers
• ✅ Benefit: Supports asynchronous update propagation
• ✅ Benefit: Enables horizontal scaling (multiple broadcast servers)
• ❌ Cost: Notification order is non-deterministic
• ❌ Cost: Potential performance impact with many observers

Scalability Consideration: For high-traffic scenarios, observers can publish to message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) rather than direct method calls.

4. Command Pattern for Ball Recording

Rationale: Ball-by-ball operations need to be reversible (scorers make mistakes), auditable (compliance), and potentially queued (offline scoring). Command pattern encapsulates operations as objects.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Enables undo/redo functionality
• ✅ Benefit: Commands can be logged for audit trails
• ✅ Benefit: Supports macro commands (replay entire over)
• ❌ Cost: Additional layer of indirection
• ❌ Cost: Memory overhead for command history

Implementation Detail: Each command stores complete context (ball details, innings reference) enabling precise rollback.

5. Factory Pattern for Match Creation

Rationale: Match instantiation involves complex setup (officials assignment, strategy selection, state initialization). Factory centralizes creation logic and ensures consistency.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Centralized creation logic reduces duplication
• ✅ Benefit: Easy to enforce creation invariants
• ✅ Benefit: Supports dependency injection for testing
• ❌ Cost: Additional abstraction layer
• ❌ Cost: Factory becomes a god object if overused

Extension Point: Factory can integrate with configuration files or databases to pre-populate match metadata.

6. Immutable Value Objects

Rationale: Cricket data (runs, dismissals, personal info) should never change after creation. Immutability prevents accidental modifications and enables safe concurrent access.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Thread-safe by default
• ✅ Benefit: Can be safely shared and cached
• ✅ Benefit: Prevents defensive copying
• ❌ Cost: Requires creating new objects for modifications
• ❌ Cost: Slightly higher memory usage

Examples: RunsScored, PersonalInfo, Location, Address are all immutable.

7. Hierarchical Aggregation (Composite Structure)

Rationale: Cricket data is inherently hierarchical: Tournament → Matches → Innings → Overs → Balls. Each level aggregates the next.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Natural mapping to domain concepts
• ✅ Benefit: Simplifies navigation (e.g., "get all balls in a match")
• ✅ Benefit: Enables aggregate statistics at any level
• ❌ Cost: Deep object graphs can impact serialization performance
• ❌ Cost: Circular reference risks if not carefully managed

Implementation Detail: Parent objects own their children (composition, not aggregation) ensuring clear lifecycle management.

8. Role-Based Player Specialization

Rationale: Batsmen, bowlers, and wicket-keepers have distinct behaviors and statistics. Inheritance models the "is-a" relationship while maintaining code reuse.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Type-safe role enforcement
• ✅ Benefit: Role-specific methods (e.g., calculateStrikeRate() only for batsmen)
• ✅ Benefit: Avoids "god class" with all player logic
• ❌ Cost: Cannot model multi-role players (all-rounders) cleanly with simple inheritance
• ❌ Cost: Fragile base class problem

Alternative: Composition with role interfaces would be more flexible but less intuitive for domain experts.

9. Separation of Live Scoring and Historical Analytics

Rationale: Live scoring requires low latency and high write throughput; analytics need complex aggregations. Separating concerns enables independent optimization.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Live scoring can use in-memory stores (Redis, Hazelcast)
• ✅ Benefit: Analytics can use columnar databases (ClickHouse, BigQuery)
• ✅ Benefit: Independent scaling of read vs. write workloads
• ❌ Cost: Eventual consistency between systems
• ❌ Cost: Increased architectural complexity

Implementation: Observer pattern publishes ball events to both systems asynchronously.

10. Stateless Query Interfaces

Rationale: Statistical queries should not maintain state; they execute and return results. This enables caching, parallelization, and easy testing.

Trade-offs:

• ✅ Benefit: Queries are thread-safe and reusable
• ✅ Benefit: Results can be cached based on parameters
• ✅ Benefit: Easy to distribute across query nodes
• ❌ Cost: Cannot maintain query context across calls
• ❌ Cost: Large result sets must be fully materialized

Example: BattingAverageQuery and HeadToHeadQuery are stateless and can be executed in parallel.
