How #1 got there

ANATOMY OF A RATING.

Runs are the headline. Strike rate vs the league average matters once you've faced enough balls. Boundaries add a small bonus — the runs already counted them.

Final rating

574

/ 1000 pts

How it works

Quality > quantity

An 80(45) vs a top attack on an away pitch outranks a 90(70) on a flat one at home.

How it works

Phase-aware

Strike rate is judged vs phase-par — death overs are scored differently from powerplay.

How it works

Recent form weighs more

Exponential decay across innings. The last five matter more than the first five.
