Superstats is ESPNcricinfo's new bouquet of stats metrics for enhanced and in-depth storytelling. It consists of three elements:
Smart Stats goes beyond runs, wickets, averages and economy rates, and values player performances based on opposition strength and match context. Read more about it here.
Luck Index is a unique metric which, for the first time in cricket, quantifies every lucky event in a match, whether it be a dropped catch or a poor umpiring decision. Read more about it here.
Forecaster does a spot of crystal-ball-gazing and predicts win probabilities in each game.
Through the 2019 World Cup, ESPNcricinfo has been doing match analyses using these tools, to provide greater insight and more in-depth stats-based stories from the tournament. Here is a list of these stories:
