Skill scale metrics introduced at Women's T20 World Cup in England

The 2026 Women's T20 World Cup features a new skill scale designed by CricViz in collaboration with the ICC, aimed at assessing players' performance metrics. The scale rates batters on power, control, and innovation, while bowlers are rated on threat, control, and variation, with scores ranging from 0 to 100. Ratings are based on data since early 2023 from players who have faced or bowled a minimum of 180 deliveries. The scale is adaptable to different playing conditions. Players like England's Lauren Bell and South Africa's Marizanne Kapp rank highly in their respective categories, showcasing the utility of these metrics for evaluating player strengths and weaknesses in real-time during the tournament.
