Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings. For coaches and captains, dossiers of 25 pages are common; these dissect the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, suggest set-plays, which are the optimum ways that a bowler can set up a batsman, and explain the best parts of the ground to target and which end might suit each bowler best This research paper will delve into a potential winning strategy for a T20 side.

  • WADA Issue, Tax Waiver on Agenda As Manohar to Meet Coa Members
    WE PLAYED MORE CRICKET THAN THIS GENERATION NEW DELHI, MONDAY 18 MARCH 2019 There is a feeling in cricketing fraternity that a choc-a-bloc international calender comprising three formats leave youngsters with very little time to work on their game. However the leg- 16 endary Shane Warne believes otherwise at a time when workload management has been the buzzword in many countries including India. We played more cricket than this generation. We played more days of cricket, even though it was first-class cricket. What's the complication nowa- days is the travel and different formats that they have to adjust to. But in terms of pure balls bowled and days played, yesteryears' players used to play more, Warne said. Warne then cited an example of his playing days for Australia, Victoria and Hampshire. There used to be a Sheffield Shield game for Victoria, then a Test match and we would again go back and play for Victoria. Now they have breaks, they have got Big Bash, so that's a fact, said Warne, who bowled an astound- ing 92,797 legal deliveries in senior level cricket and took 1862 wickets.
