Stats: Highest home venue win percentage in T20 cricket

It’s no secret that teams enjoy a nonpareil advantage whenever they play at their home ground. The home teams enjoy the support of the crowd behind them, roaring them on, filling them with confidence. On the contrary, their opponents have to deal with the crowd’s open hostility or, perhaps worse, its silent contempt, which both drains confidence away.

Apart from the crowd supports, the home team is familiarized to their ambience. The home players are aware of the playing conditions inside out; the away team never know when they are going to get ambushed by their lack of local knowledge. With professional sport changing at a rapid rate, sports scientists want to know what makes players perform to their full potential, and home advantage has become one of the battlegrounds for their competing theories.
