data/_season-stats-ipl-historical.json, walked from ball-by-ball records sourced from Cricsheet under CC BY 3.0. 1,169 matches across 18 seasons (2007/08 → 2025). - Sample-size floor (doctrine §3.1): Minimum 15 legal deliveries in death overs. Claims below this floor are excluded.
- Excludes IPL 2026: the current season runs on Sportmonks live data and is surfaced separately at /season/ipl-2026.
