ODI Evolution Unpacked: The Science Behind the Score

Science Corner takes a data-driven deep dive into how ODI cricket transformed from 1987 to 2023. Using thousands of matches and effect-size analysis, we quantify what actually determines outcomes—why 300-plus totals rose, how rule changes like powerplays influence scoring, and why second-innings wickets can be more decisive than big first-innings scores. We explore how partnerships, bowling variations, fielding, and tactical adaptation shaped the modern game, revealing a nuanced balance between bat and ball beyond gut feeling.
