IPL 2024: Big 200-plus Scores Ignite Debate On Unequal Battle Between Bat And Ball In T20 Cricket

By IANS News April 16, 2024 • 23:24 PM View: 1081

Indian Premier League: Amidst a spate of scores in excess of 200 in Indian Premier League (IPL), Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a record-breaking 287/3 on their way to a 25-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru -- and ignited the age-old debate of one-sided matches in which bowlers become cannon fodder in white-ball cricket.

With big hits galore, Sunrisers Hyderabad reached 287/3 in 20 overs, the highest-ever score in IPL history and the fact that RCB lost by just 25 runs proves how much things were against the bowlers at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi triggered the debate online with a post on X, formerly Twitter, as he questioned the rationale behind having such one-sided matches for batters.
