Statz MVP
About the Statz MVP rankings
The Statz MVP rating is our in-house system for contextually judging every player's performance across Cricket. Avg MI ranks players by per-game impact (they need half their side's matches); Total MI ranks them by their whole season's contribution.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Statz MVP rating?
It's our in-house rating system that scores every player's impact in each match and aggregates it across the season. It's designed to cut through the raw runs and wickets and reflect who's actually performing best in context — the kind of player you'd want on your side for the next game.
What is the difference between Average MI and Total MI?
Average MI ranks players by their per-game impact, with a 50%-of-team-games minimum so half-season cameos don't distort the order. Total MI ranks by cumulative season contribution, which favours players who played every match. Both views use the same underlying per-match rating.
Who is the top-rated player in Cricket?
Waldo Smith currently leads the Cricket Statz MVP rankings with 18.2 Avg MI across 4 matches. The full list is in the table above, and you can switch between Average and Total to see different leaders.
How often is the leaderboard updated?
The rankings recalculate automatically after every completed fixture — no manual refresh needed. The latest update was at 18:27, 9 Nov 2026 (UK time).
Why does a player I expect to see not appear?
The default Average MI view requires a player to have appeared in at least 50% of their team's matches, so half-season signings and injury returnees are filtered out. Open the filters and switch off "Exclude small samples", and they will show up if they have played at all. Associate nations' T20 internationals count once "Major nations only" is off.
