What Is Boundary Percentage in Cricket?
Boundary Percentage is calculated as:
Boundary Percentage = (Runs from Boundaries ÷ Total Runs Scored) × 100
- Runs from boundaries = (Number of fours × 4) + (Number of sixes × 6)
- Total runs scored includes runs from all types of scoring, including singles, doubles, extras, and boundaries.
A high boundary percentage indicates an aggressive batsman who scores a large part of runs through powerful shots. A lower boundary percentage suggests a player who accumulates runs more through running between the wickets and placement.
