No Settled Split — Chasing Better in 11 of 19 Seasons
3+ matches per role per season
No fixed identity here: across 19 seasons, MI's better record has sat with chasing 11 times and defending seven, with one season split even. Nothing shows the swing better than 2016: 71.4% (5 of 7) chasing against 28.6% (2 of 7) batting first, 42.9 percentage points apart. Nor is it a recent development — chasing shaded both halves of their history without ever pulling clear. The last two seasons have all gone the same way — the better record chasing each year.
