BOWLING RANKINGS.

Wickets matter. So does economy vs phase par, dot-ball pressure, the opposing batting line-up, and the surface.

Wickets are the headline. Economy vs the league average and dot-ball pressure adjust the credit. Hauls (3w/5w) earn milestone bonuses.

Final rating

/ 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.
