For another year, BCF uses the CricHeroes platform to register all its official matches for men and women.
This gives us the opportunity to make comprehensive analyses of each inning, match, tournament and for the entire year. Some interesting data from the system for this year:
- in the 23 recorded matches, 6169 runs/points were scored, 266 wickets and 95 catches/catches of the ball were made;
- 214 sixes and 586 fours were hit;
- 24 times batsmen have scored over 50 runs in the championship games and once over 100 runs were scored in a match. In six matches, the partnership of the batsmen has brought over 100 runs for their teams;
"It is still early to analyze the year, but the past championship was one of the good things that happened in 2022 for the Bulgarian cricket. The level of the participating teams has increased, there is no dominance of one team as it was in the past, the strengths of the first four teams are equal and all this also has a positive effect on the game of our national team. The fact is that IBCC became the state champion for the first time, the team of CC Ulis won medals from the state championship for the first time, and the two-time champion in previous years - CC BSKS could not even take a medal. I hope that this will mobilize the Plovdiv medical team for the remaining tournaments until the end of the year, because we rely on them and their players in our national team," briefly shared Prof. N. Kolev, founder and CEO of BF Cricket.
