User Question
What is death-over economy?
Correct Answer Pattern
Death-overs economy is runs conceded per over restricted to the death phase, overs 16–20 of a T20 innings — the highest-pressure bowling phase. It is computed as
(death_runs * 6) / death_balls. A bowler must clear the ≥15 balls bowled in the death phase floor to be ranked on it, since season eligibility does not imply death-phase eligibility.
Required Concepts
- None specific — definitional.
Required Metrics
Citation Behavior
Cite the metric definition and Phase Definitions. For a specific bowler's figure, cite the canonical page and state the death-ball count.
Caveats
- A "good" death economy differs from a good full-innings economy — phase context is essential.
- Many bowlers are floor-ineligible at the death due to small phase samples.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
It's just economy in the last few overs. (Omits the exact phase boundary and the phase sample-size floor — which is the whole point.)
