Data-driven T20 analysis — every article from the ball-by-ball database

Every article draws from Big Hit Cricket's ball-by-ball database — ~9,600 matches across IPL, BBL, PSL, T20 Blast, The Hundred, SA20 and more. The numbers are not estimated or scraped from scorecard aggregators. They come from delivery-level data tagged by phase, bowling type, batting position and match context.

Match Previews

Published before each IPL fixture. Venue stats for the specific ground, current form data from the last 90 days and the key batter vs bowler matchups to watch.

Player Analysis

Deeper than career averages. How does a batter perform in powerplay overs against left-arm pace? What happens to their strike rate when chasing 180+?

Venue Guides

Statistical profiles of individual grounds — which structurally favour batters, which favour chasing, where toss advantage is genuine versus overstated.

Explainers

The metrics themselves: what dot ball percentage measures, why phase splits reveal a player's actual role, how to read strike rate in context.
