The WT20 2022 wrapped up on the 13 November with England winning the trophy.\u00a0 As an Indian fan, I was personally disappointed with the manner of our loss versus England in the semi-finals.\u00a0 But England were deserving winners.<\/p>

What follows is a high-level comparison of batting run and strike rates along with bowling economy rates for the top 8 teams in the super 12 stage.\u00a0<\/p>

The powerplay scoring rates and death over economy rates (and wickets) provide good insights into the final outcome.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

England went hard from the start and kept the momentum throughout.\u00a0 This is also influenced by a couple of their innings not really lasting into the death overs.\u00a0 They only faced 77 balls across 6 innings in the death overs as opposed to 140 for India in the same number of innings.<\/p>

Conversely, India took a very traditional route of building in the powerplay and finishing with a flourish in the death. But a run rate of just over 6 was low, even by their standards. This put the death over batters under undue pressure.\u00a0 The loss against England in the semifinal showed that this approach no longer works – especially on good batting wickets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The average strike rates across innings are really interesting as it suggests that three of the four semifinalists struggled against spin but where aggressive versus pace.\u00a0 At the other end, South Africa and Australia \u2013 neither of whom qualified for the final four \u2013 went hard against the spinners but struggled against pace relatively.<\/p>

Pakistan is the most intriguing, as they seem to have a more balanced strike against all types of bowlers.\u00a0 This could easily be a function of the pitches and possible the kinds of totals they were chasing while batting second.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

England really stand out with a very consistent economy rate (ER) through the innings.\u00a0 While India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka look very good in the powerplay \u2013 they went for plenty at the death.\u00a0 India of course had three very good power plays but were taken apart against Bangladesh and England in the early phase of the innings.<\/p>

Furthermore, India\u2019s inability to control the middle overs \u2013 an ER of over 8 \u2013 the largest phase of the innings was a key contributor to their woes.<\/p>

Australia\u2019s bowling woes also come through clearly and the match against New Zealand really influenced the overall numbers.<\/p>

Where England really outdid the others was at the death.\u00a0 On average they picked up nearly 4 wickets at the death per innings \u2013 comfortable higher than the next best team \u2013 and this no doubt resulted in the lowest economy rate.\u00a0 This simply was the clearest differentiator in England\u2019s case.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":934,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usual-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=932"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":985,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932\/revisions\/985"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allplayhub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
