Description Of Activity
The coach demonstrates how to target the stumps with different line and length deliveries (full-length, short-pitched, and good-length balls).

Practice bowling under pressure by simulating match scenarios with a batter.
Mix up different types of deliveries, such as outswingers and inswingers, to challenge the batter.
