Dot-ball percentage, boundary percentage and economy for a bowler, or the same rates faced by a batter. These are the numbers that decide limited-overs games well before the wickets column does, and no scorecard shows them.

How a batter gets out, or how a bowler takes wickets, across the ball-by-ball archive: bowled, caught, lbw, stumped, run out and the rest, with counts and shares. Run outs are excluded from the bowling view because they are not credited to the bowler.

Explain a cricket term in plain English with its closest baseball equivalent (wicket, yorker, googly, powerplay, DLS, and ~60 more).

Career batter-vs-bowler record from ball-by-ball archives: balls faced, runs scored, dismissals, strike rate. Cricket tracks these like baseball's batter-vs-pitcher splits.

Leaderboards for a league and optional season: most runs or most wickets, from ball-by-ball archives. Leagues include mlc, ipl, bbl, psl, cpl, hundred and international cricket (t20i, odi, test). t20 is the T20Is together with every domestic T20 that has no code of its own (the Vitality Blast, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy); t20i is the T20Is alone. Cricsheet publishes no Afghanistan men's matches, so the men's t20i, odi and test lists have none of Afghanistan's players. t20i, t20, odi, test, bbl, cpl and hundred hold men's and women's games (the WBBL is bbl, the WCPL cpl) and read the men's unless gender says otherwise. t20i and odi hold the associate nations' games too; members 'full' keeps the games between two of the twelve ICC full members (t20i, odi, test).

Currently live and upcoming cricket matches with scores where available (ESPNcricinfo public feeds, plus Minor League Cricket and Atlanta Open T20 games from Kalshi's live data, each labelled with its league).

Live prediction-market prices for a cricket match from Kalshi (a CFTC-regulated US exchange), shown beside this server's own win probability so the two can be compared. Prices are cents that equal implied probability: 42 means the market prices a 42% chance. Minor League Cricket prices come from cricket_minor_league's rule, a market figure only when Kalshi's book is a real price, and this tool gives the same answer for those games. Informational only — not betting advice, and event contracts are legal only in some jurisdictions.

Look up an archived limited-overs match and return its scorecard: innings totals, top scorers, leading wicket-takers. Search by team names, league (mlc, ipl, bbl, psl, cpl), and/or year.

Scores and win chances for Minor League Cricket (the US domestic T20 league) and the Atlanta Open T20 from Kalshi's public live data: every game live, starting within 3 hours or finished in the last 2 hours, or one team's game. Each game gives its state, start time (ET), score, what the chasing side needs or the result, and win chances: the Kalshi market's midpoint only when its book is a real price, and this server's model from the first ball, with both sides rated equal because these clubs have no ratings. Kalshi's feed has no ball-by-ball commentary and no batters or bowlers; an Atlanta Open T20 game adds them from CricCenter, the app that tournament is scored on: the toss, who is batting and bowling, the over in progress, each innings' best performers and the player of the match. If nothing is on, it says when the next game is. The league's history, teams, grounds and players are cricket_minor_league_info's.

Player records and league history for Minor League Cricket (the US domestic T20 league), from data this server holds: CricClubs scorecards for 2026 and results with grounds for 2023-2026, CricClubs' 2025 and 2026 batting tables, Wikipedia's 2021-2024 squads and leader tables (CC BY-SA 4.0) and a research record that sources every fact. Every argument is optional and they combine: player for a season-by-season card (add team when two players share a name); team for where they are based and play, their finals and a season's captain, wicketkeeper, players and results; team with opponent, date or both for one fixture's ground, result and 2026 top performers; ground; leaders with season and team; season alone for its champion, final and awards; topic for league facts. With no arguments it lists what it can answer. Each answer gives exact figures, its source and how current it is, and says what the data lacks. Names are matched whole: a surname several players share gets a question back, and a name the data lacks is said to be missing, never answered with another player's figures. Live scores and win chances are cricket_minor_league's.

A batter's most productive partnerships: runs added while the two were at the crease together, how many stands, and their best. Stands are reconstructed by segmenting each innings at the wickets that fall, since the archive records the striker but not the non-striker.

How a player performs by phase of the innings — powerplay, middle overs, and the death — for batting and bowling. This is the split that separates a strike-rate merchant from a genuine finisher, computed from ball-by-ball archives.

Career aggregate statistics for a player (men's and women's cricket) from Cricsheet ball-by-ball archives: innings, runs, strike rate, average, high score, wickets, economy — per format.

A batter's record batting first versus chasing, in limited-overs cricket: runs, balls, average and strike rate for each. Multi-day cricket is excluded rather than guessed at, since there the fourth innings is the chase and the first three are not comparable.

A team's most recent archived results — opponent, outcome, and match event — for reading current form. The archive gives a country's men's and women's sides one name. Pass gender, and format, to read one side's games.

How a ground plays: matches recorded, average first-innings score, highest first-innings total, and how often the chasing side wins there. Useful for toss decisions and pre-match reads.

Win probability for a limited-overs match, live or hypothetical, from a logistic model fitted on 8,000+ archived matches (per format and innings, with pre-match Elo). Pass a state for an in-play number, or just two team names for a fixture that has not started. Returns each side's probability and who is favored. Use for 'who is winning', 'what are the odds at X/Y', or 'who is favoured tomorrow'.
