The art of chasing 400 while batting first on flat tracks

In the world of white-ball cricket, teams batting first are under pressure to put up huge totals on placid tracks.

England set the standard for high scores in the last six years but failed to execute their all-or-nothing approach in the current World Cup. Australia and South Africa have shown the importance of partnerships and working through gears to construct big scores.
