Intelligence Glossary

Understanding the Powerplay

The first six overs of each innings are designated as the powerplay. During this phase, only two fielders are permitted outside the 30-yard circle. This restriction incentivizes aggressive batting and creates high-scoring phases. At venues like Chinnaswamy with short boundaries, powerplay runs per over tend to exceed the tournament average significantly. Our model weights powerplay performance heavily when projecting first-innings totals.

Impact Player Rule

IPL 2026 retains the impact player substitution rule, allowing teams to substitute one player at any point during the match. This tactical dimension adds strategic depth, as teams can bring in specialist batters during chases or additional bowlers to exploit conditions. Our model accounts for likely impact player usage patterns when calculating win probability and player projections.

The Decision Review System (DRS)

Each team receives two unsuccessful reviews per innings. The DRS allows teams to challenge on-field umpire decisions using ball-tracking technology (Hawk-Eye) and UltraEdge. Historically, DRS overturns approximately 28% of reviewed LBW decisions. Venue-specific factors like bounce and seam movement influence DRS success rates, which our model incorporates into bowling projections.
