Who’s the best at chasing and defending their target??

Top 2 teams that have the highest winning rate:
Chennai Super Kings 60.97%(100 in 164 matches)
Mumbai Indians 58.28% (109 in 187 matches)

Top 2 teams best at chasing with percentage:
Chennai Super Kings 31.70% (52 in 164 matches)[Thala Dhoni for a reason!]
Mumbai Indians 31.55%(59 in 187 matches)[Pollard here]

Top 2 teams best at defending with percentage:
Rajasthan Royals 32.653061 (56 in 178 matches)[Look at the pace attack!]
Kolkata Knight Riders 31.460674 (48 in 147 matches)[Nothing short of it here!]

We can see that the teams with the highest chasing rate have the highest winning rate but is it actually true?

Top 2 teams highest chasing team’s defending rate:
Chennai Super Kings 29.268293 (48 in 164 matches)
Mumbai Indians 27.807487 (52 in 187 matches)

Actually, the top 2 teams with the highest winning rate have equally good chasing and defending rates.

Balance of chasing rate and defending rate leads to better winning rates

So, the chasing and the defending rates are important for the winning rates of the team… And we can see that CSK is the best

Insightful?
