The cricket fraternity has witnessed plenty of exciting and exhilarating contests in the longest format of the game. While we have witnessed closely-fought battles, we have also seen one-sided games as well.
The one-sided games are often witnessed when a team batting first posts a colossal total on the board in the first innings. It gives the team a cutting edge in bundling out the opposition for a low total and they would enforce a follow-on.
