Whenever discussions commence regarding the T2o format in the game of Cricket, people often get excited when a batter plays a wonderful cameo, or beats the bowlers black and blue while amassing plenty of runs on the scoreboard. Every Cricket fan loves it when batters go after the bowlers smashing them for boundaries and out-of-the-park maximums.
Unfortunately for them, the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup at the United Arab Emirates has, against the delight of the fans been more of a bowler-friendly one, courtesy the sluggish nature of the three venue pitches where the matches are being conducted at- Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
The batters have found a hard time more often than not, with the bowlers- especially the spinners and the ones with subtle variations making the optimum use of the conditions presented before them.
To provide further validation, there has not been a single score of over 200 runs in the Tournament so far. Despite that, World Cricket continues to produce quality batters who have always found a way to score despite the challenges posed before them. This World Cup too, has found such batters of the highest quality.
