In the limited overs format of cricket, two crucial factors that determine the outcome of any match is a team being able to put up a competitive total while batting, and maintaining a healthy economy rate by restricting the batting side from scoring too many runs. The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2022 which is slated to begin from August 30 has cricket fans getting excited as they prepare to witness some explosive batting and some sharp bowling by some of the league’s top bowlers.
While with batting the total score put up in an innings is determined by the overall strike rate of the batters and the team as a whole, for any bowling side maintaining a low economy rate is crucial to restricting the opposition from scoring more than an expected total. Economy rate is calculated on basis of runs conceded by a bowler per over (6 balls) and the lower the economy rate by a bowler, the more valuable the bowler is considered to his/her respective team.
Like every other T20 competition around the world, a lot of the top bowlers in the Caribbean Premier League have done exceptionally well in terms of keeping the opposition’s run rate low.
