What is Eco+?

Economy Plus (Eco+) measures how many runs a bowler saved — or conceded — compared to what was expected given when they bowled in the innings.

Expected Economy

Every ball in a T20 innings has a different expected run rate. A ball in the powerplay is expected to cost more than one in the middle overs.

Eco+ Formula

For each ball bowled, we compare actual runs conceded vs the expected. The total difference across all balls gives a bowler's Eco+ score.

Eco+ = Σ (Expected Runs − Actual Runs)

Interpreting It

  • Positive (+) — bowler saved runs vs expected
  • Zero (0) — exactly on expected
  • Negative (−) — bowler went for more than expected

Runs Per Over — By Over
