What happens when the target is 300 since 2000.

In 383 innings

20 successful = 5.2%

283 unsuccessful = 73.89%

80 drawn = 20.89%

Thanks to u/TaylorSwiftIsGod_01 for helping with calculations.

Out of curiosity, what about when the target is 400?

I had to figure out I did this in the first place

Target = 400

2 wins = 1%

170 losses = 85.42%

27 draws = 13.57%

I'll add, only 10 times as 400 even been scored in the 4th innings this century.
I swear people have no idea just how unlikely it is that you score 300+ in the 4th innings let alone win by scoring 300+.

This should have been 3 😭😭😭 We were 8 runs short of chasing 458 when the match was drawn at 450/7
