Sources & methodology
- Ball-by-ball data sourced from Cricsheet (cricsheet.org), licensed under CC BY 3.0. Every MLC match since the 2023 inaugural season is included.
- Player identities resolved via Cricsheet's canonical
registry.peoplemapping — no fuzzy name matching in production (doctrine §4.3 / §12 gate 8). - Cross-league player merge between IPL (Sportmonks) and MLC (Cricsheet) is operator-curated; see
data/_cross-league-bridge.json. - Per-season squads, venues, and team-membership are derived from per-match ball-by-ball data at build time. No manual roster file to maintain.
