Great game. I watch the game late at night so my sleep suffers. I may need to buy some of the nivia stuff for men. Seems to get you going after a late night
yes and yes..

I think you've got it

A team may score a bit slower but if they keep their wickets (outs) then near the end they can go for it because they have wickets to spare.

One more little nuance for you. The first 6 overs, the fielding team can only have 2 men outside the infield circle (the 30 metre dotted circle you see on the field). So the field is wide open for the batters to hit 4s.. but it's early.. does the batting side go for it or stay conservative for later? However later on, the fielding side can have up to 5 fielders outside the circle I think. So what's your strategy?
