Our One Day International (ODI) ratings take into account all matches from the first ODI match on January 5, 1971 till the below mentioned
last update date. Our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier bowlers may
change if current bowlers set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation).
So, here are the Top 10 Pakistani Fast bowlers in ODI cricket in all matches.
*Note: All ODI Ratings are updated till 2025-09-15
Nations Filter
The Nations Rating filters the OVERALL Rating to show players only from Pakistan.
- The Rating of the players from Pakistan remains the same as in the original OVERALL Rating.
- Thus the Trend Setter can be from any nation and is not necessarily from Pakistan.
THE CRITERIA
| CRITERIA | CONSTITUENTS |
|---|---|
| Primary | Wickets, Average, Economy, BBI (Wkts & Eco) |
| Conditions | Home, Away, In Asia, Outside Asia |
| Secondary | World Cup, Top Form, Impact Inns |
The Trend Setter (TS)
TS is the player which 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 an example:-
- TS Ave: 25.00; Player X Ave: 30.00; Section Points: 300.00
- TS Points: 300.00(Max); Player X Points: TS Ave/Ave X 300 = 25.00/30.00 X 300 = 250.00
- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Ave being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
TT and NWT
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams (TT) and non weak teams (NWT). Here is some information:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine TT and NWT.
- They are calculated by decades.
- A bowler's performace is counted in TT or NWT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out and Super Six matches of ODI World Cup are also counted.
- TT & NWT may be found in the last section.
