Knockouts included · 64 matches
What do the final statistics include?
The men's and women's leaderboards each cover 32 matches: 30 league games, one Eliminator and one Final. A finalist could therefore play up to 12 matches, while a team that missed the knockouts played ten; the competitions remain separate throughout.
NZC's 28 January Super Stat Chat article was a regular-season snapshot before Finals Weekend. The totals here include the four later knockout matches, so they can legitimately differ from that earlier official update. Averages, strike rates and economy rates come from the final reviewed leaderboards rather than being recalculated from partial score data.
