Top 10 T20I Spin Bowlers With Best Economy

Best Economy Rates

The first list simply gives you the bowlers with best Economy Rates in T20I Cricket. The second list gives you the bowlers with best Relative Economy Rates (R ER). How it is calculated is explained in the highlighted sections. Only bowlers who have bowled more than 500 balls are considered for both lists.

C ER

The Comparative Economy Rate (C ER) for bowlers is calculated by taken into account two factors:-

• First is the ER of batsmen in the decades the bowler played.
• Second is the ER of the opposition batsmen at Home, in Asia or outside Asia; whichever is applicable.
• The ER of the opposing team’s batsmen is also calculated by decades.
• Higher C ER suggest that more runs per over were scored by the batsmen in the above mentioned factors.
• Thus it was difficult to contain runs and the bowler will benefit from this.
• Lower C ER means the opposite.

R ER

The Relative Economy Rate (R ER) is calculated using the C ER. Its formula is (Bowler ER/C ER)*A Constant Factor. This constant doesn’t affect the rating as it is the same for everone. If your C ER is comparatively high, your R ER will be low; which is better for bowlers. Broadly speaking, the following bowlers will benefit from this system:-

• Bowlers who have played more in unfavourable conditions.
• Asian fast bowlers and Non-Asian spin bowlers whereever applicable.
• Bowlers who have played more against top opposition than weaker teams.
