Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed ball-by-ball data of 96 elite bowlers from the 2019 Cricket World Cup to investigate the impact of age on bowling performance.
- Younger bowlers (18-24) were found to concede more runs on the last ball of their overs compared to older bowlers (25+), indicating a decrease in performance with age (p = 0.001).
- Bowlers aged 25-31 showed a higher likelihood of taking wickets during crucial "death" overs, suggesting this age group is optimal for wicket-taking roles and could influence team strategies.
