How Statz Rating works:

  • Each player receives a contextual match impact score based on their all-round contribution — batting, bowling, and situational factors.
  • Ratings are scaled against the season benchmark so they are directly comparable across fixtures and to the season leaderboard.
  • A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
