Key DAX Measures

Essential Calculations:

measure.daxDAX
Total Matches = COUNTROWS(matches)

Total Runs = SUM(deliveries[batsman_runs])

Win Rate =
DIVIDE(
    CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(matches), matches[winner] = SELECTEDVALUE(matches[team1])),
    COUNTROWS(matches),
    0
) * 100

Avg Runs Per Match =
DIVIDE([Total Runs], [Total Matches], 0)

Strike Rate =
DIVIDE(
    SUM(deliveries[batsman_runs]),
    COUNTROWS(deliveries),
    0
) * 100
