Pakistan, West Indies, and New Zealand are the worst chasers in ODIs since 2010. Pakistan has won just one out of 16 matches that they have played while chasing. They have lost three games by a margin of more than 100 runs. On the other hand, their win percentage is the highest among all teams when defending totals which shows their ability to defend low scores well.
West Indies batting line-up is often plagued with inconsistency, and this has been evident in their performances as chasers, too – they’ve won just 3 out of 10 matches, including two against Zimbabwe. One thing that makes them such an unpredictable side is how much time it takes for them to get on top of scoring rates – sometimes they can score at a rate of over seven runs per over, and other times they can get dismissed at a rate higher than three an over.
