New Era of T20 Cricket: 200+ Score is No More a Huge Total

Reasons Behind Continues 200+ Scores in IPL 2024?

Reasons Behind Continues 200+ Scores in IPL 2024: There was a time in T20 cricket when a score of 200 was a huge total and teams were always aiming for that, but fast forward to the current IPL season we have seen teams scoring 200 like it’s nothing.

In this edition of the TATA IPL 2024, we have already seen teams scoring 250+ runs on eight different occasions, the season is not over yet and we are sure that we can more big scores coming up. 

However, the is becoming a usual routine for teams to score past 220 in every single match in order to have some chance of winning the games. T20 cricket was born in 2002 and the game has never seen such kind of tournament where 200 is just a below par score for teams. Moreover, teams in TATA IPL 2024 have crossed 200+ scores on 25 or more occasions.

But this style of play is giving a tough time for bowlers, where bowlers have zero control over the game. At times with flat wickets and small grounds, it’s now becoming easier for batsmen to slog every ball out of the park.

Moreover, with the new rules, the game is almost favoring the batters to score unbelievable targets. 

What is Happening to T20 Cricket?

From the likes of Impact Player rules to Slow-over rate restrictions Bowlers are somewhat obliged to bowl rapidly, which may compromise their accuracy, because slower over rates carry heavier penalties. This has been shown to be fatal in emergency situations.

Even some of the cricket players and pundits have expressed their disagreements towards this new style of play. In almost every match we have seen bowlers under pressure throughout the innings, it feels like there is nothing the bowlers could offer at this stage. 

This is where we see the importance of longer format games where simply hitting boundaries won’t win you matches. A lot of things like consistency, skill, and pure timing of shots are seen in the longer formats of the game.

Nowadays the game has evolved into a stage where 220 plus is a must to have a chance of winning the game.

Moreover, some fans are enjoying it like never before, even though this is a sign of a new era in cricket. Understandably, fans are enjoying this style of play but it is important to understand that this is killing the longer format of the game and in the future people will be only interested in shorter formats of the game.

It is good for T20 cricket but the other aspects of the game are being affected by this.
