Every number on Cricket Record Book is calculated from ball-by-ball data for international matches, published openly by Cricsheet.org under the Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-BY). We thank Cricsheet for making this data freely available.
What the data covers
- 9,835 international matches: 919 Tests, 3,187 ODIs and 5,729 T20Is, of which 2,806 are women’s matches.
- Matches from 19 Dec 2001 to 17 Sep 2026. Earlier matches are not in the ball-by-ball record, so career and rivalry totals here start in the 2000s, not at a team’s first match.
- Afghanistan’s matches are not in the open data set, so they do not appear in any table.
- A few older series and some individual matches are missing from the data. Each page states the matches and dates it covers.
T20 leagues
League pages use the same ball-by-ball source and cover every match in it, from each league’s first season. IPL tables use today’s team names: Delhi Capitals include the Delhi Daredevils years, Punjab Kings include Kings XI Punjab, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru include Royal Challengers Bangalore. Career lists combine a player’s matches for every franchise he played for. Season win-loss tables are not the official points tables, so net run rate is not shown.
How things are counted
- Results follow the official result of each match. A tie decided by a super over counts as a tie in win-loss tables.
- Batting: runs off the bat; balls faced exclude wides. A batter is not out if the innings ended with them at the crease or if they retired hurt.
- Bowling: runs conceded include wides and no-balls; run outs and retirements are not credited to the bowler.
- All-out totals include innings that ended with all ten wickets down or with the last batter unable to continue.
- Fastest hundreds and fifties count the balls the batter had faced when they reached the milestone.
- Super overs are left out of all batting and bowling figures.
- Player names follow the scorebook style used in the data (for example V Kohli), and players who changed their name are listed under their latest name.
Tournament winners
Finals from editions before the ball-by-ball data (for example the World Cups of 1975 to 1999) come from the official tournament records and are marked as such. They are never mixed into batting or bowling tables.
