## Required Concepts

- Death-overs specialist: 44 balls in overs 16–20 at 236.4 SR (≥30 ball floor met)
- Scope: MLC 2023 and 2024 only (not 2025)

## Required Metrics

- **Career**: 236R, 146.6 SR, 33.71 avg · **Death phase**: 44 balls, 104R, 236.4 SR

## Citation Behavior

1. State 10 matches across 2023–2024, team MI New York.
2. Lead with his death-overs dominance (236.4 SR, 44 balls — above the 30-ball floor).
3. Note 2023 was the stronger season (209R, 168.5 SR) vs 2024 limited returns.
4. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Caveats

- MLC 2025 data absent — David did not play MLC 2025.
- The death-overs 236.4 SR is from 44 balls (meets the ≥30 ball floor), but cite the ball count.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Tim David is MLC's top run-scorer." *(With 236 runs, David is not among the volume leaders; his value is his strike rate and death-overs impact, not run volume.)*
