When to Use In-Game Swaps for Maximum Impact

CricketPandit

1️⃣ After Powerplay Overs

Powerplays often set the tone. If openers flop or a bowler looks sharp, consider:

  • Swapping out expensive top-order batters

  • Bringing in death-over bowlers if the team is 4 down early

2️⃣ Mid-Innings Break

Use the innings break to reassess:

  • Which side has the upper hand?

  • Will the chasing team collapse or dominate?

Make swaps based on pitch behavior and pressure situations.

3️⃣ Just Before Death Overs

Got a hard-hitter warming up? Or a bowler specializing in yorkers? Time your swaps to:

  • Grab last-over wickets

  • Maximize six-hitting batters


📉 Avoiding the Panic Swap

Many users swap out players after a single bad over or a dropped catch. Don’t fall into the overreaction trap. Watch the match flow, not just the scoreboard. Patience can be a better strategy when others are scrambling.
