No Settled Split — Chasing Better in 10 of 18 Seasons
3+ matches per role per season
SRH have never settled into one way of winning — the better side chasing in ten of 18 seasons and defending in seven, with one season split even. The gap was widest in 2015 — 66.7% (6 of 9) defending against 20.0% (1 of 5) chasing, 46.7 percentage points between them. Early on the better record sat with defending; more recently it has sat with chasing — a change in the balance that never took hold as an identity. SRH went 0 of 8 defending in 2008 — winless in that role for the season. 2025 went the way most seasons have — 60.0% (3 of 5) chasing against 37.5% (3 of 8) batting first.
