How it's picked
Batters
Positions 1 – 5
The top 5 run-scorers across all teams, weighted for how quickly they scored. A player who hit 60 off 30 balls ranks above one who ground out 60 off 55. Minimum 12 balls faced to qualify.
Batting Score = Runs × (Strike Rate ÷ 130)
Benchmark SR: 130 · Minimum: 12 balls faced
Wicketkeeper
Position 6
The top-performing keeper in the competition, scored on batting and dismissals — catches and stumpings both count. The glove work matters. Not much, but it counts.
WK Score = Batting Score × 65% + Dismissals × 35%
Minimum 12 balls faced for batting component to apply
Bowlers
Positions 7 – 11
The top 5 bowlers by a combined score of wickets taken and economy rate. Bowling phase is factored in — a death bowler going at 9.5 in overs 16–20 is judged differently to a spinner going at 9.5 in the middle overs.
Bowling Score = Wickets + Economy discipline + Phase adjustment
Exact phase weightings are proprietary
All-rounders are eligible for batter or bowler slots — wherever their score ranks highest across all players in the pool.
