Terminology

BPL Cricket Glossary

A straightforward guide to terms you'll frequently come across while watching matches or analysing markets.

Batting Terminology

  • Strike Rate
    A batter's average runs scored per 100 balls. A strike rate of 130+ is considered good in T20 cricket.
  • Powerplay
    During the first 6 overs, only 2 fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
  • Death Overs
    The final 4–5 overs of an innings, where aggressive batting is at its peak.
  • NRR
    Net Run Rate — used to determine rankings when teams are level on points.
  • Anchor
    A batter who builds the foundation of the team's innings — focused on stability rather than giving away wickets quickly.
  • Pinch Hitter
    An aggressive top-order batter whose role is to score runs quickly.
  • Duck
    Dismissed without scoring a run.

Bowling & Fielding Terminology

  • Economy Rate
    A bowler's average runs conceded per over. In T20 cricket, an economy rate below 7 is considered good.
  • Dot Ball
    A delivery from which no runs are scored. A high dot ball count signals growing pressure on the batting side.
  • Yorker
    A delivery pitched near the batter's feet — an effective weapon in the death overs.
  • LBW
    Leg Before Wicket — out when the ball strikes the leg without hitting the bat and would have gone on to hit the stumps.
  • DRS
    Decision Review System — a technology-assisted process for reviewing an umpire's decision.
  • Caught & Bowled
    The bowler takes the catch off their own delivery.
  • Run Out
    When the ball hits the stumps before the batter reaches the crease.
