i.                 \nNever\nunderestimate your opposing team;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii.               \nAt\nthe beginning of your innings, if you are successful in scoring couple of\nboundries or sixers, do not underestimate the Bowler or field placements;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iii.            \nRefrain\nfrom playing your Shots assuming that the Bowler is silly;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iv.           \nRemember\nthere are 300 deliveries and  no hurry at all;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

v.              \nMatches\nare lost by few runs on many occasions;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

vi.           \nMatches\nare won mostly by strong innings by an individual member;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

vii.         \nIf\nyou are settled and scoring rapidly, do not be over-confident;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

viii.      \nIf\nyour Team is at 175 at the end of 35 over for the loss of 3 or 4 wickets, DO\nNOT ATTEMPT TO SET A TARGET OF OVER 300;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ix.           \n Avoid\ndot balls, at least consistently score 4 to 5 runs per over;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
