stat sheet in, honest number out

Cricket player rating calculator

A batter's rating and a bowler's rating are built from completely different numbers — runs and strike rate versus overs, wickets, and economy. MatchGrade's cricket calculator uses a separate model for each role so the score actually reflects what that player was on the pitch to do.

Choose batter, bowler, all-rounder, or wicket-keeper, enter the innings numbers, and get a rating out of 10 with the full breakdown.

Enter an innings and get a role-specific rating instantly.

How cricket ratings are calculated

Every cricket rating starts at 6.0. From there, the model splits by role:

RolePrimary stats
BatterRuns, balls faced, strike rate, boundaries, dismissal
BowlerOvers, runs conceded, wickets, economy, maidens
All-rounderBlend of batting and bowling with lower individual baselines
Wicket-keeperBatting line plus catches, stumpings, byes conceded

Worked example — bowler

A bowler sends down 8 overs, concedes 32 runs, and takes 3 wickets. Economy of 4.0 is well under the 7.0 baseline, adding roughly 1.0 to 1.2 points; the three wickets add close to 2.7 points at 0.9 each. Starting from 6.0, this lands around 9.0 to 9.5 — an excellent, near match-winning bowling performance.

Worked example — batter

A batter scores 45 off 38 balls with 5 fours. Runs above the 30-run baseline add about 0.7, strike rate above 110 adds a modest amount, and the boundaries add roughly 0.3 — landing around 7.3 to 7.7, a very good batting contribution without a standout strike rate.
