Ave HS

Top Teams (TT)

Top Teams play an integral part in our ODI Rating. The Average (Con) and Strike Rate (Att) sections are divided into overall stats as well as stats against the top teams. Moreover, the most runs (BIP) and best SR (QIP) performances only include performances against the top teams. Here is how the Top Teams are calculated:-

Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine top teams.
The top teams are calculated by decades.
To be a top team, the team should be among the top teams of the decade overall.
A team is also included in top teams if it is a World Cup winner in that decade.
A batsman’s performace is counted in TT if he played against that team in that decade.
Knock Out and Super Six matches of ICC World Cup and Champions Trophy are also included in TT.
The Top Teams may be found in the last section of the rating.
