Finisher (cricket role)

In cricket, a "finisher" is a batsman who specializes in performing well during the final stages of a match, particularly when the team needs to score quickly to win. This player typically comes in when the game is nearing its conclusion, often with the team requiring a substantial number of runs in a short period. Finishers are known for their ability to remain calm under pressure, hitting boundaries and rotating the strike to boost the score efficiently. Their role is crucial in limited-overs formats, where chasing down runs in the last few overs can determine the outcome of the match.
