MUDDLE IN THE MIDDLE

IN the lead up to the World Cup, one of the points was how this tournament could be won in the middleovers (10-40). Especially with the bat.

What has happened is rather interesting. Instead of seeing teams dominate the phase with the bat, there is a trend of sides losing wickets in clusters during the middle-overs. And it is not restricted to one team. Australia lost the plot against India in Chennai after Steve Smith got out. Pakistan, again versus India, once Babar Azam was dismissed. England lost wickets in a cluster against Afghanistan and so did Sri Lanka against Australia. Is there a common thread that connects these collapses? Do teams collapse trying to aim high? Or do they get stuck trying to consolidate and fail at accelerating?
