The total conceding runs till the last match=1200+144= 1344

The wickets taken in the last match= 4

Let the number of wickets taken before the last match be X

Then total wickets taken after the last match= X+4

His average after last match= 1

So

1344/(4+X)=1
1344= X+4
X=1340
So the total number of wickets before the last match is 1340
