The landscape of T20 chases is shifting, with teams no longer relying solely on late-innings power-hitting. Pacing the chase and hitting consistent boundaries throughout the innings is becoming crucial. Marcus Stoinis’ match-winning knock for Lucknow Super Giants against Chennai Super Kings exemplified this new approach, helping chase down a 210-run target. The likes of Jos Buttler have also mastered this art, demonstrating that even 200-plus scores are now vulnerable.
