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 182 point advantage for a one day match or a 345 point advantage for a 20-20 match. Between two equally matched teams, this equates to the home side scoring 73% in one day internationals or 88% in 20-20 matches.

To be included in the one-day rankings, a country must have played at least eight one day matches in the last six years or five 20-20 matches.

The ratings are calculated using a variation on the Glicko system developed by Professor Mark Glickman.

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