Phase Control
Model

PCM is a structural analysis framework for T20 cricket. It measures which team controlled each phase of a match — not just who scored more, but when and how structural dominance was built and lost.

The Four Phases
Entry Velocity
Overs 1–6
Weight: 22%
Powerplay control. Sets the structural platform for the innings.
Stability Window
Overs 7–12
Weight: 23%
Middle overs. The SW winner takes the match in over 90% of games.
Acceleration Band
Overs 13–16
Weight: 25% ↑
Highest weight phase. The game-breaking overs. IPL 2026's decisive window.
Closure Efficiency
Overs 17–20
Weight: 20%
Death overs execution. Finishing under pressure — batting and bowling.
PCM Score · How It Works
Each team gets a bat PCM and a bowl PCM per innings. PCM Total = (Bat PCM + Bowl PCM) ÷ 2. The team with the higher PCM total structurally controlled the match.
