A formalized document, generally formatted for digital distribution as a Portable Document Format (PDF), designed for recording the events of a cricket match. It provides a structured layout for noting down crucial details, including runs scored by each batter, wickets taken by bowlers, dismissals, overs bowled, and other relevant statistics. The arrangement typically utilizes columns and rows to clearly organize player-specific information and match progression.
The existence of a standardized record format facilitates accurate tracking of match data for analysis, historical archiving, and performance evaluation. It allows for efficient comparison of player and team performances across different matches and time periods. Historically, such records were meticulously maintained by hand, transitioning to digital formats with technological advancements, enabling easier storage, sharing, and manipulation of statistical information. This shift has improved the accessibility and analytical capabilities surrounding cricket data.
