DeepCoverIndependent cricket analytics · Built in India
A scorecard tells you what happened. It rarely tells you why. DeepCover rebuilds every match from the individual delivery upward, so you can ask the question behind the result: who a batter actually struggles against, which ground quietly decides games, what a bowler does in the seventeenth over when it matters.
DeepCover is an independent cricket-analytics product. It covers 27 competitions, from Test, ODI and T20 international cricket through the IPL, the Big Bash, the PSL, the Hundred and more, for both men's and women's cricket. Where delivery data exists, every figure is recomputed from the ball-by-ball record rather than copied from a summary table. For older matches that pre-date delivery coverage, the figures come from the published scorecard archive, and the page always says which it is using.
It is free to read, needs no account for the statistics, and is built for people who want the number behind the story rather than the story behind the number.
The ball-by-ball record is assembled from several sources. Part of it is open data, principally Cricsheet, licensed under the Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-BY 1.0). Part is purchased from match-data providers. Matches that pre-date ball-by-ball coverage come from published scorecard archives. Everything is then re-derived into DeepCover's own analytics warehouse. Match facts are public information; what DeepCover adds is the identity work, the computation and the presentation. Live scores come from a licensed match-data provider.
The product's single rule is that a published number must match the match record, definition included. That is harder than it sounds, because definitions differ. Balls faced excludes wides but includes no-balls. Byes and leg-byes are never charged to the bowler's economy. Run-outs never count as a bowler's wicket. Super Over deliveries are excluded. Boundaries count only actual boundary hits, never all-run fours.
Every one of those rules is verified against the match record before a metric ships, and the Data Trust page publishes exactly which competitions and which seasons are covered ball by ball, which are covered from scorecards, and where the gaps are. We would rather show you a gap than fill it with a guess.
DeepCover is built and maintained independently, not by a broadcaster, a betting company or a governing body. It has no editorial agenda about who is the greatest. It has an engine and a rule about matching the record.
The same data is available in the DeepCover Android app. It is the same engine behind the same numbers, built for the phone.
Corrections are welcome and taken seriously. If a number here disagrees with the match record, that is a bug and we want to know. Write to us on the contact page.
