I know from my own experience in T/20, albeit at a lower level than this, I have two zones I know I’ll go aerial on a specific type of delivery (over mid off and to point) and my setup reflects this. When the ball is out of the zones I want (I.e. not a slot or fuller delivery outside off) I try to work the gaps or hit the ball hard along the ground pending the field.
It’s funny how many people don’t seem to have a plan B when they play T/20, as the variation in wickets can bring many players and teams undone. This is why a guy like Jono Wells is so good for the Strikers as he seems to give himself the 5-10 balls to adjust to conditions and then has enough zones he can hit later in the innings that makes himself difficult to bowl to.

Hit the nail right on the head.
One of the things I love about cricket is how pitch conditions change from game to game , centre to centre , country to country unlike basketball where the court is fairly standard everywhere you play.
Even things like pitch placement , wind conditions , day or night etc etc need to be factored in.
Like you said take your time to assess , I think McCullum says "process the information then make the adjustment from their , either play straighter or square" then catch up later.
Most seem to want to bat flat out and then won't change their thinking when it doesn't work time and time again.
Very frustrating to watch.
