Reading the Mardyke deck

The patterns we see repeat across the matches on record — what works at Mardyke, and what captains should plan for.

Balanced surface

Par of 158 sits in the bowler-leaning band. Bat-first captains need to take the new ball seriously; chasers have a real target to defend.

Chaser paradise

63% chase success is a huge edge for the side batting second. Dew, knowing the target, and a pitch that plays truer under lights: the formula wins here more often than not.

Field, chase, win

75% of toss-winners choose to field. The chase-friendly nature of the ground shapes decisions from the first over.

Fast starts

Powerplay RPO of 48 is above average. The new ball does not move enough to slow openers down. Attacking the fielding restrictions is the dominant strategy.
