Can we win when batting 1st???

Mon, Jul 13, '26 at 8:23 AM

Evidently highly unlikely according to stats when playing at home....if not mistaken we are 80% more likely to win when chasing based on result over a period of time....not surprising since batting is more our strength...also dew factor when bowling 2nd makes it more difficult for spinners to grip an hence better fuh batting....so our chances as always hinges on the toss!!

@CCW

The question is not really relevant as we rarely win 2 in a row. Let's hope that changes today.
