Virk Ali betting stats, splits & projections
Every figure below is counted from stored ball-by-ball deliveries — no estimates, no averages copied from elsewhere. Splits with fewer balls behind them are marked LOW sample and carry less weight in the model.
Record by format
Formats are never pooled: a twenty-over record tells you nothing about fifty-over scoring, so they are modelled and shown separately.
| overall | T20 | 11 | 199 | 191 | 18.1 | 104.2 | 14.7 | 51.3 | MEDIUM |

Against each opponent
Head-to-head record by format. Small head-to-head samples move the model very little — read the sample column before leaning on a line here.
| Norway | T20 | 2 | 59 | 63 | 29.5 | 93.7 | 9.5 | 47.6 | LOW |
| Turkey | T20 | 2 | 42 | 35 | 21.0 | 120.0 | 20.0 | 51.4 | LOW |
| Romania | T20 | 2 | 37 | 33 | 18.5 | 112.1 | 21.2 | 63.6 | LOW |
By venue
Ground-by-ground record. Venue effects are real but slow to prove, so grounds with few balls are shown for transparency rather than used as evidence.
| Santarem Cricket Ground | T20 | 4 | 77 | 88 | 19.3 | 87.5 | 8.0 | 48.9 | LOW |
| Moara Vlasiei Cricket Ground, Ilfov County | T20 | 5 | 97 | 82 | 19.4 | 118.3 | 20.7 | 54.9 | LOW |
By country
Conditions vary more by country than by ground; this is the broader pitch-and-conditions view.
| Unknown | T20 | 11 | 199 | 191 | 18.1 | 104.2 | 14.7 | 51.3 | MEDIUM |
By match phase
Powerplay, middle overs and death. Phase splits drive the simulated scoring rate ball by ball.
| powerplay | T20 | 11 | 156 | 152 | 19.5 | 102.6 | 15.1 | 53.9 | MEDIUM |
| middle | T20 | 3 | 39 | 33 | 19.5 | 118.2 | 15.2 | 39.4 | LOW |
Against pace and spin
Record against each bowling type faced, rolled up when a finer category has too few balls.
| PACE | T20 | 11 | 133 | 134 | 19.0 | 99.3 | 12.7 | 51.5 | MEDIUM |
| SPIN | T20 | 5 | 32 | 31 | 16.0 | 103.2 | 16.1 | 54.8 | LOW |
How these splits are used
The same aggregates feed the ball-by-ball simulation behind every projection: format baselines, phase scoring rates, the bowling types a batter will face and the expected attack.
