    Dictionary<string,object> dict=(Dictionary<string,object>)(data);
    }

I Tried But I don't know whether It is coorect or not and I Have not able to proceed further please spare a minute to help me

Answer 1

1) Your Json is not valid: you can use this site to validate json. You should add ']' and '}'. So you json should look like:

{
    "players": 
    [
        {
            "wins": 8,
            "losses": 1,
            "score": 264.5,
            "pro": false,
            "name": "albert"
        },
        {
            "wins": 7,
            "losses": 1,
            "score": 214.5,
            "pro": false,
            "name": "mike"
        }
    ]
}

2) You can use Unity JsonUtility. Create class Player

[Serializable]
public class Player
{
    int wins;
    int losses;
    int score;
    bool pro;
    string name;
}

Then create player container

public class PlayerContainer
{
    List<Player> players = new List<Player>();
}

Now you can use JsonUtility to serialize/deserialize your data

public class PlayersController
{
    private void Start()
    {
        string json = "your json";
        var players = JsonUtility.FromJson<PlayerContainer>(json);
    }
}
