The rest period between games is also vital in terms of physical and tactical preparation. Once batting or bowling 50 overs, the players require rest and hydration as well as medical care, when needed. ODI cricket innings break time gives coaches and analysts time to analyze the data on performance and deliberate on the improvement to the next stage. Projected totals are analyzed by batting teams, and run rates needed and powerplay plans determined by chasing sides. The bowlers can be given special instructions with regard to the pitch behavior during the initial innings. Mental training is also necessary since the players will change mental concentration to defense or attack and vice versa.
