How does the T20 Player Performance Index differ from existing cricket player performance measurements?
The Index incorporates all major domestic T20 cricket. Furthermore, the Index uses a unique algorithm which incorporates performance metrics never before used to determine where players stand against their peers. The Index is calculated using data from all attributes of the game, including fielding. Being exclusively a T20 Index, strike rate and economy rate are as heavily weighted as runs scored and wickets taken, with dot ball and boundary percentages also being taken into account. In order to generate an accurate evaluation of each individual the algorithm also includes adjusted scoring based on:
the context of the individual performance within the match
the context of the match itself
the strength of the opposing batter/bowler
the strength of the opposition team
