5-day: 200 run threshold

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

India 2001 Kolkata comeback

๐Ÿ“Š

Only 3 teams won after follow-on

Follow-on thresholds: 200 runs (5-day), 150 (3/4-day), 100 (2-day), 75 (1-day). Enforcing does not always win โ€” Australia lost to India at Kolkata 2001 after enforcing. Last successful follow-on chase: India vs Australia 2001.

Key Takeaways

  • 5-day: 200 runs | 3/4-day: 150 | 2-day: 100 | 1-day: 75
  • Captain may choose not to enforce (tired bowlers, pitch)
  • Only 3 teams have won after following on; India 2001 most famous

How It Works

Threshold by Match Duration

1-day: 75 | 2-day: 100 | 3/4-day: 150 | 5-day: 200. Lead must equal or exceed.

Avoiding Follow-On

Team 2 must score enough to reduce deficit below threshold. 450 vs 251 = avoided (199 deficit < 200).

Expert Tips

Consider not enforcing if bowlers are tired or pitch is deteriorating.

Kolkata 2001 proved enforcing is risky โ€” India batted 171 overs and won.

Use What-If to see exactly when threshold is met in close scenarios.

4 match types: 1, 2, 3/4, 5 days โ€” each has different threshold.
