Here's a sneak peek into the five most interesting snapshots from the 2024 group stage.
Most sixes in an LPL season: In line with the trend of high-scoring games, this edition has already seen the most sixes ever hit in a single season of the LPL - 307. The previous highest was 275 in the 2020 edition. All the big-hitting has also meant that the bowlers have suffered the most, conceding at an economy rate of 8.98 runs an over so far, the highest for any LPL edition.
High scores, tight finishes: There was plenty of entertainment for fans as some excellent batting pitches, especially in Pallekele and Dambulla, produced consistently high-scoring matches. The average innings total, excluding one rain-affected game, was around 175. There were also some heart-stopping finishes. Two chases were decided off the very last ball, another was decided by the narrow margin of two runs, and there was also a tie broken by a Super Over.
