About Death Overs
You're the captain at the end of a tight match: a last over to defend, a chase to finish, a Super Over. Every ball is your call. Play as many matches as you like, or the daily match, the same for everyone.
What's real
Every ball is played by a cricket model: where the ball actually lands (a missed yorker is often a full toss), the batter's strengths, the shot, the field, the pitch, dew, and spinners turning it. It's calibrated against nearly 8,000 real men's T20 matches, ball by ball: in the last two overs of a close chase it scores about ten an over with a boundary every five balls, as real teams do, and a side needing twelve off the last over wins about as often as real ones. A Test's last pair, with runs to get and the day's overs to bat out, is played by a red-ball model calibrated against 899 real Tests: blocking for the draw, a last-wicket pair survives the next over about three times in four, as real ones do. Win, draw or lose. The best call for every ball is worked out exactly, and that's what your captaincy is measured against. Ball-by-ball data from Cricsheet. The players and teams are made up.
