Eng has not been lucky so far in subcon. it even lost that 2016 T20 F to WI when WI hit 4 6s in the last over to turn the game on its head.

Only statistical anamaoly is the number of overs and run rate but great :nice: 

 

thats makes it more amazing not less ! two wildly different formats, nearly 40 years apart, same scores. it beautifully highlights how batting has evolved !

Thala for a reason 

grade cricketer randomly uses the Thala name to boost viewership lol Even during semi final review they said Thala for a reason.

Back in those days, teams would aim to have 100 in 25, 250 in 50. Thankfully those days are over.

 

And you used to double score after 30 overs if you hadn't lost more than 3 wkts by that stage. Good old days :agree:

And 20-25 for no loss in the first ten, defending solidly against the moving new ball.

Think indias odi team in 90s prabhakar, azhar,kambli, manjrekar, sidhu, raju. Only saving graces were tendulkar, srinath, kumble..then 1999 taunton game actually changed everything
