Based on 85 T20 matches. Phase runs include extras, so the three phase averages sum to the first-innings average. Each phase averages only the innings that reached it — 76 first innings and 67 second innings got to over 16. The Hundred is 100-ball cricket and is never mixed into these figures.

Members can filter these by men's or women's cricket, day or night, and compare the ground against its country and the global average.
