Measured from our matches with a known start time. Plain counts, no claims.
T20 rule: under lights = local start 16:00 or later · day = 13:00 or earlier · twilight in between. A cell with fewer than 5 matches shows the count only. Each cell: matches, wins batting first v chasing (ties and no-results noted), average 1st v 2nd innings total.

Bat-first vs chase
Batting first

Chasing

Win% can run opposite to the innings averages: a won chase stops at the target
(a 150 chase usually ends near 150, not 180), so the 2nd-innings average sits low even
where chasing wins more - while the batting side's big winning totals lift the 1st-innings
average. The averages describe scores; the win% is decided target-by-target.
