Shane's Women's Cricket Ratings

These cricket rankings take into account the final result of a match (win, draw, loss, tie) as well as whether the match was played on a home, away or neutral ground. The home team is considered to have a 136 point advantage for a one day match or a 154 point advantage for a Twenty20 match. Between two equally matched teams, this equates to the home side scoring 68% in one day internationals or 70% in Twenty20 matches.

To be included in the rankings, a country must have played nine or more matches in total with at least five of them in the last five years.

The ratings are calculated using a variation on the TrueSkill ranking system.

The ranking system takes into account home ground advantage and the type of match. The list of match types are: World Cup, ODI, friendlies.
