Additional Information

Bowling economy rate is average number of runs scored per over or sets bowled.

• If using overs, a value of 9.5 indicates an average of 9.5 runs are scored per six ball over bowled.

• If using sets, a value of 9.5 indicates an average of 9.5 runs are scored per five ball set bowled.

• If using here, a value of 9.5 indicates an average of 9.5 runs are scored per hundred balls bowled. This the official statistic used by The Hundred.
  
  The higher the number the more detrimental is for the bowler. Runs scored through byes & leg byes are excluded from runs conceded by the bowler, however wides and no-balls are included in the bowler's figures.
