Several other factors are pivotal for clinching the trophy. The pitch plays a crucial role for the captain, especially in shorter formats of cricket. Captains often opt to bowl first to field and restrict the opponent to a low total. When chasing, they plan according to the target, making it easier to chase. This factor contributes to the higher winning ratio of the second batting team.

Pitch conditions also hold vital importance for both captains, as they assess whether the pitch is moist or dry. In the initial overs, usually from 3 to 6, the ball tends to seam and swing. Additionally, weather conditions in England during the summer are often cloudy and cool, which proves beneficial for fast and fast-medium bowlers. The teams in The Hundred are fully equipped with their support staff, including the captain, vice-captain, physio, coach, trainer, mentor, manager, and doctors. They all work together to gel the team members, formulate plans and strategies, and enhance physical fitness and mental toughness.”
