Methodology and QA references
Derived-window penalty exclusions: first 0; second 0. Totals retain these innings; delivery windows do not allocate pre/post penalties.
population: Both scoring and player tables use the same included match IDs. Adjusted/DLS, ties/super overs, no-results and incomplete or shortened records are separately ledgered/excluded.
powerplay: Opening four-over windows are not labelled actual all-era mandatory powerplays. Actual mandatory and batting Power Surge intervals come from innings.powerplays metadata; boundaries requiring approximation remain unavailable.
runs: Innings totals include pre/post penalties. Penalty-bearing innings are excluded from over/phase/PP/checkpoint views, with explicit counts; no timing allocation is invented. Bowler runs exclude byes, leg-byes and penalty extras.
balls faced: Batter balls exclude wides but include delivered no-balls, as independently reconciled to actual Gabba scorecard 1493243. Bowler legal balls exclude both wides and no-balls.
player innings: Batting appearance requires being at the crease, including zero-ball non-strikers, not merely in the XI. Bowling innings require a recorded delivery. Stable registry IDs only.
wickets: Team/batter dismissals include retired out but exclude retired hurt/not-out. Bowling credits exclude run-outs and retired out.
over means: Runs per over use only overs with at least six legal balls. Missing late overs are not zero; wickets chart uses generic phase windows and active-innings samples.
averages: Batting runs/dismissals; bowling runs_conceded/credited wickets; bowling SR legal balls/wickets; economy runs_conceded*6/legal balls. Zero denominators are null, not zero.
historical: Archive window is not Howstat and not asserted all-time BBL coverage. All-time Howstat BBL ground records remain unavailable unless genuinely sourced.
forecast: Historical observations only; no live pitch, dew, weather, picks or calibrated forecast.
Null means unavailable; it is never rendered as zero. Actual mandatory powerplay and Power Surge metadata stay separate from generic phase windows. Upcoming BBL 2026–27 status: not_started; Scheduled regular-season matches, not played-match statistics. Finals are separate. No 2026–27 score or prediction is manufactured.
