Nikki du Toit
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 72 balls (SR 69), then 50 to 100 in just 59 (SR 85) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating

- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 201.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 28 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- 671 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 27.4, strike rate 64.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 10.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
