A comparison needs a denominator
Six legal balls provide a consistent scoring-rate unit even where the format uses five-ball sets. Scoreless legal deliveries mean the team scored zero runs on a legal delivery, not a batter’s dot-ball percentage. Sixes per 100 legal balls divides recorded six-hit boundaries by legal deliveries and multiplies by 100; a six hit from a no-ball remains in the numerator. Boundary share excludes innings-level penalty adjustments. These descriptive patterns are not evidence of match manipulation.
