Yes, the time period can determine match tactics to a great extent. ODI allows players to have an Innings Break in ODI, which allows them an opportunity to assess the situation carefully before the second innings starts. When the target is high, the chasing team will avoid waiting until the end, but it chooses to pursue as early as possible and keep the run rate high. On the other hand, with a score that is not high, a gradual strategy with a predetermined risk might be recommended. During the break, captains strategize on how to change the bowling, the placement of the field as well as the powerplay. Such conditions like dew, pitch wear, and weather change are also considered as it may affect performance. Statistical analysis is used by coaches to make suggestions on the best pairing of bowlers and batters. Finally, the break is also a strategic break which usually dictates the way the last innings are to be played and the result of the game.
