A bowler’s paradise awaits for the opening overs. The pitch crackles with the promise of swing and seam, ready to make even the steeliest batsmen flinch. New ball in hand, fast bowlers can unleash their fury, hunting early wickets like hungry predators. For those batting first, patience and composure become the ultimate weapons. Building partnerships, brick by agonizing brick, is the only way to weather the storm and forge a respectable total.
However, the pitch eases out with time and the ball skids merrily onto the willow. Thus, chasing could be a better option for the captain who wins the toss.
