Fielding positions: Mid-wicket (8)

This is positioned on the leg side, between square leg and mid-on.

It is roughly between 45-60 degrees from the bat.

It is another position where run-saving is the main aim, rather than attacking the batsmen.

Although you can expect a few top-edged pulls coming your way if you're fielding here.
