Correct Answer Pattern
Rashid Khan MLC bowling phase profile (13 matches, Cricsheet CC BY 3.0):
Phase Balls Wickets Economy Notes Powerplay (1–6) 78 6 4.31 Exceptional — among MLC's best PP bowlers Middle (7–15) 186 9 7.03 Volume phase, above average Death (16–20) 36 3 8.33 Used sparingly, floor met Rashid's powerplay bowling is his standout phase: 4.31 economy from 78 balls with 6 wickets is elite T20 bowling by any standard. His middle-overs economy of 7.03 (186 balls, 9 wickets) is solid but not as exceptional. At death he is used sparingly (36 balls) with an 8.33 economy.
All three phases meet the ≥15-ball bowling floor.

Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Rashid Khan's economy of 6.48 applies uniformly across all phases in MLC." (The 6.48 is his overall figure. By phase it ranges from 4.31 (PP) to 8.33 (death) — a very wide spread that the aggregate masks.)
