Japan v Nepal

Every number here is ranked three ways: against every men's T20 in the archive, against this competition (for a T20 international, every T20 international), and against every earlier meeting of these two sides. The bar shows where it sits: the further right, the higher.

The match is ranked at the same stage. After 12 overs of the first innings it is compared with every match after 12 overs of its first innings; in a chase, the whole first innings plus the same number of overs of the chase. Once the match is over it is compared with every completed match. The page updates as each over is completed.

Batters and bowlers are compared with every completed innings and spell, so a batter still in can only climb. Strike rate and dot-ball percentage need 10 balls faced; a bowler's economy, dots and runs need two overs. Partnerships are compared with stands for the same wicket.

Only what stands out is listed. The Batters and Bowlers tabs show at most five — the most unusual, each inside the top or bottom 5% of a comparison — and more only for something exceptional: a record against every T20 or this competition, or the top 1% of all T20s. Everyone else is ranked too, and counted beneath the list.

"Top 4%" means only 4% of the comparison did as well or better (ties included); "lowest 4%" the same from the other end. A record is first place, shared with at most two others. A dot ball is a legal ball with nothing off the bat. Comparisons with fewer than 10 matches are faded — too few to read much into.
