In fantasy cricket, most players obsess over batsmen—but smart fantasy winners know that bowlers are the true point machines. To pick the right bowlers on RadhaExchange, you need to understand two key stats: Bowling Economy and Strike Rate.

This blog explains what these terms mean, how they affect fantasy scoring, and how to use them to make data-backed picks for your fantasy teams.

🏏 What Is Bowling Economy?

Economy rate = Runs conceded per over

Formula:
Economy = Runs Conceded ÷ Overs Bowled

Why It Matters in Fantasy:

• Bowlers with low economy get extra points
• Fantasy platforms like RadhaExchange reward economical spells (e.g., under 6 RPO in T20)

✅ Best for:

• Spinners in middle overs
• Seamers on slow pitches
• Bowlers playing on large grounds

🧠 What Is Bowling Strike Rate?

Strike rate = Balls bowled per wicket taken

Formula:
Strike Rate = Balls Bowled ÷ Wickets Taken

Why It Matters in Fantasy:

• Lower strike rate = more frequent wickets
• Bowlers with low strike rates are often wicket-takers, giving high fantasy returns

✅ Best for:

• Death over specialists
• Fast bowlers on seaming tracks
• Bowlers who bowl to top-order batsmen

📊 How to Use These Stats on RadhaExchange

RadhaExchange offers player insights for each upcoming match. Here’s how to use them:

Step 1: Go to Player Preview

Before a match, tap on the bowler’s profile.

Step 2: Check Last 5-Match Performance

Look for:

• Wickets per match
• Economy rate trends
• Overs bowled regularly

Step 3: Match Player with Match Conditions

• Flat pitch? Favor bowlers with better strike rate
• Low-scoring pitch? Favor economical bowlers

💡 Pro Tips

• ✅ Pick 1 economy-focused bowler (middle overs) + 1 strike-rate specialist (death overs)
• 🚫 Avoid part-time bowlers unless on spin-friendly pitches
• 🧾 Use economy rate when captain is likely to use bowler in pressure overs (6–15)
• 🎯 Strike rate is key for high-risk, high-reward contests

🎯 Example Scenario

In an IPL match at Chennai:

• A spinner with 5.5 economy in last 4 games is more valuable than a pacer with 9.0
• A bowler with a strike rate of 12 may only bowl 2 overs but take 2 wickets = High impact

Use these filters in RadhaExchange’s team selection tool to compare players and build a balanced lineup.

🏁 Final Words
