Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier batsmen may change if current batsmen set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section (Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top 10 batsmen in World Cups in T20Is.

WC RATING

Points to note about WORLD CUP Rating:-

  • Qualifying round is the round in some editions of World Cup in which the main teams don’t play.
  • Matches in qualifying round are not considered in our rating.

THE CRITERIA

The WORLD CUP Rating is divided into 5 main sections:-

CRITERIA STAT POINTS
Prolific Runs Scored 200.00
Consistent Average 250.00
Attacking Strike Rate 300.00
Big Innings Potential Top Scores 100.00
Quick Innings Potential Top Inns By SR 150.00
The Trend Setter (TS)

TS is the player who does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark. Know All About TS. Here is a simple example:-

  • TS Runs: 2,000; Player X Runs: 1,000; Section Points: 250.00
  • TS Points: 250.00(Max); Player X Points: Runs/TS Runs X 250 = 1,000/2,000 X 250 = 125.00
  • Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
Top Teams (TT) and Non Weak Teams (NWT)

Some sections consider performances only against the top teams and non weak teams. Here is some information:-

  • Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine TT and NWT.
  • They are calculated by decades.
  • A batsman’s performace is counted in TT or NWT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
  • Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
  • TT and NWT may be found in the last section.
