Metrics
Every metric file includes formula, eligibility rules, sample-size floors, edge cases, and agent answering guidance.
Batting Average vs Strike Rate
The two complementary measures of batting quality — average captures value per dismissal, strike rate captures scoring speed.
Batting Average
Runs scored per dismissal — a measure of batting consistency and reliability.
Batting Strike Rate
Runs scored per 100 balls faced — the core T20 batting tempo metric.
Boundary Percentage
Share of runs scored in boundaries (fours and sixes) — a measure of scoring style.
Bowling Economy
Runs conceded per over — the core measure of how restrictive a bowler is.
Bowling Strike Rate
Balls bowled per wicket — how quickly a bowler takes wickets.
Death-Overs Economy
Runs conceded per over in the death phase (overs 16–20) — bowling under fire.
Dot-Ball Percentage
Share of deliveries that yield no runs — a pressure metric for bowlers (and batters).
Expected Runs (xR)
A delivery-level batting metric that estimates how many runs an average batter would score from a given delivery, based on its line, length, and speed — used to separate batter skill from delivery difficulty.
Expected Wickets (xW)
A delivery-level bowling metric that estimates the probability of a dismissal from a given delivery, based on its characteristics — used to separate bowler skill from outcome variance.
Fantasy Cricket Strike Rate Scoring
How Dream11 and other fantasy cricket platforms operationalize batting strike rate as a tiered bonus/penalty metric — with confirmed tiers, eligibility floor, and agent guidance.
Net Run Rate
Adjusted run-rate differential used to separate teams tied on points in T20 and ODI tournaments.
Orange Cap
The IPL award and leaderboard for the most runs scored in a season.
Partnership Value
Runs scored during a batting partnership — used to identify which batting pairs drive innings totals and where wickets hurt most.
Phase-Split Economy
Bowling economy broken into three match phases — powerplay (overs 1–6), middle overs (7–15), and death (16–20) — to reveal a bowler's true specialisation.
Powerplay Strike Rate
Batting strike rate restricted to the powerplay (overs 1–6).
Purple Cap
The IPL award and leaderboard for the most wickets taken in a season.
