Chandana Ranatunga
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 40 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
28 of 34 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 672 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 86.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.57 per match at 13.4, economy 3.21, strike rate 25.1.
