Caveats
- MJ Owen leads on rate but FH Allen has the largest qualifying sample (225 PP balls vs Owen's 123).
- FH Allen is arguably the most durable PP threat by volume; Owen leads on pure rate.
- Floor is ≥30 powerplay balls — not total career balls. Players who bat lower in the order may not qualify.
- MLC 2026 data is not yet included in this snapshot.
