- Batting Average – measures a player’s batting performance by calculating the total runs scored divided by the number of times they have been out. A higher average indicates greater consistency and effectiveness as a batsman.
- Batting Strike Rate – measures a player’s scoring efficiency by calculating the number of runs scored per 100 balls faced. A higher strike rate indicates a more aggressive and effective batting style.
- Bowling Average – measures a bowler’s effectiveness by calculating the total runs conceded divided by the number of wickets taken. A lower bowling average indicates better performance and ability to restrict runs while taking wickets.
- Bowling Strike Rate – the average number of balls bowled per wicket taken. It’s calculated by dividing the total number of deliveries bowled by the number of wickets taken. A lower strike rate indicates a bowler’s effectiveness in taking wickets more frequently.
- Duckworth-Lewis (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) Method – a statistical formula used in cricket to calculate target scores in rain-affected matches. It considers the number of wickets remaining and overs left to determine a revised target, ensuring fairness when weather interrupts play.
- Economy Rate (Econ) – the average number of runs conceded by a bowler per over bowled. It’s calculated by dividing the total runs allowed by the number of overs bowled. A lower economy rate indicates better control and effectiveness in limiting runs scored by the opposition.
- Follow-on – a situation in cricket where the team batting second is required to bat again immediately after their first innings if they trail by a certain number of runs (typically 200 runs in Tests). This allows the leading team to potentially win the match more decisively.
- ICC T20I Team Points – part of the ranking system for international Twenty20 cricket teams. Teams earn points based on their performance in matches, with wins, losses, and ties contributing to their total. These points determine the teams’ rankings in the ICC T20I standings.
- Net Run Rate – a method used to evaluate a team’s performance in limited-overs cricket. It is calculated by subtracting the average runs scored per over by the team from the average runs conceded per over. A higher NRR indicates better performance and can be crucial for rankings in tournaments.
- Run Rate (Runs per Over) – measures the average number of runs scored by a team per over in a cricket match. It is calculated by dividing the total runs scored by the number of overs faced. A higher run rate indicates a more aggressive batting performance.
- Average Run Rate Method – used in cricket to calculate the target score for a chasing team based on the scoring rate of the batting team. It averages the runs scored per over by the batting team and applies this rate to the remaining overs in the innings, providing a fair target when the match is interrupted. It was used until 1991 to calculate the winner in rain-affected limited-overs matches.
