Can someone please explain to me how the ratings work and how they affect a result. I just lost a game when I had a rating of 230,653 to 208,196 and I led in every single category.

Match ratings are basically a pre-game assessment of the 2 sides. The ratings are representative of the average skill rating for the players involved as explained in the manual.
It gives a fair indication of a sides strength but does not include all talents, doesn’t indicate about players form, bowling rotation, wicket type to suit bowler variety or match tactics.
Just like real life cricket and sport the result can easily and often go the other way. The toss of the coin and getting to choose to bat or bowl first can often pre determine the result of a match.

Something worth remembering is that what appears to be a substantial gap 230k - 208k (22k in your favour) essentially translates to your team only being roughly 10% better.
If you were to base that on real life games in any sport, a team that's only 10% better on paper vs the other team probably only wins 70% of the time perhaps - maybe less even?

Isn't form a modifier of the players skills which then feeds into the overall for the player and isn't it this overall skill which is used to determine the ratings?
Happy to be corrected.
