- Batting First Advantage?
Teams batting first have done well when they’ve posted 190+ totals. Otherwise, chasing teams have found success too. - Pace vs Spin:
- In IPL: Pace dominated with big wickets hauls.
- In WPL: Spin ruled, especially in middle overs.
- Today’s Tip:
Spinners will be key in the middle overs. Batters must build smart innings before accelerating. Bowlers with variations like cutters and slower ones will succeed.
