ZN Shabalala 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 | 10 | 51 | 171 | 5.7 | 29.8 | 0.6 | 73.1 | MEDIUM |
Why we like it
Splits where ZN Shabalala scores materially faster or lasts materially longer than their own baseline in the same format.
No split stands out from their own format baseline by enough to call it an edge.
Risks
Splits pointing the other way — the conditions and opponents where the record is worse than usual.
- Phase: middle (T20)LOW sample
19 runs off 90 balls in 8 T20 matches — strike rate 21.1 vs 29.8 overall, average 2.4 vs 5.7 overall.
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.
| Mozambique | T20 | 4 | 24 | 87 | 8.0 | 27.6 | 0.0 | 72.4 | LOW |
| Botswana | T20 | 2 | 20 | 40 | 10.0 | 50.0 | 2.5 | 62.5 | LOW |
| Sierra Leone | T20 | 2 | 5 | 33 | 2.5 | 15.2 | 0.0 | 84.8 | 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.
| Botswana Cricket Association Oval 2, Gaborone | T20 | 8 | 42 | 112 | 6.0 | 37.5 | 0.9 | 67.9 | LOW |
| Botswana Cricket Association Oval 1, Gaborone | T20 | 2 | 9 | 59 | 4.5 | 15.3 | 0.0 | 83.1 | LOW |
By country
Conditions vary more by country than by ground; this is the broader pitch-and-conditions view.
| Unknown | T20 | 10 | 51 | 171 | 5.7 | 29.8 | 0.6 | 73.1 | MEDIUM |
By match phase
Powerplay, middle overs and death. Phase splits drive the simulated scoring rate ball by ball.
| middle | T20 | 8 | 19 | 90 | 2.4 | 21.1 | 0.0 | 81.1 | LOW |
| powerplay | T20 | 6 | 21 | 65 | — | 32.3 | 1.5 | 69.2 | LOW |
Against pace and spin
Record against each bowling type faced, rolled up when a finer category has too few balls.
| UNKNOWN | T20 | 10 | 22 | 83 | 5.5 | 26.5 | 0.0 | 75.9 | LOW |
| PACE | T20 | 9 | 25 | 69 | 6.3 | 36.2 | 1.4 | 68.1 | 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.
