Teams' knowledge and understanding of success in Twenty20 cricket is crucial
when participating in major tournaments. Identifying the performance indicators
and specific factors which influence teams’ performances should be identified to
increase teams’ possibilities of succeeding. The study observed the batting
strategies implemented within the 'Power Play' overs of a recent Twenty20
tournament which related to successful match outcomes.
22 matches were recorded in the study, which were divided into three different
stages of the tournament (First Round, Super 8s, Semi-finals and Final). A
comparison within the numerous batting and bowling variables was conducted
with an independent samples t-test which identified any significant differences
between the successful and unsuccessful teams (<0.05).
Results established significant differences in teams’ batting strategies within the
'Power Play' overs which had influence on the match outcome. The main findings
highlighted that teams who retained their wickets, hit more 4s and played lower
risked shots had a higher probability of winning matches and proceeding through
the tournament.
Therefore it could be concluded that for overall success in Twenty20 matches,
teams should put emphasis on retaining their wicket in the 'Power Play' overs by
playing low risked shots which would be accumulated in 4s in order to become
successful.
