Did not reach the semi-finals but hit the most 6s, one team hit just one 6

New Delhi. The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has concluded with a spectacular victory of Team India. Rohit Sharma’s team defeated South Africa by 6 runs in the final and became the third team to win the T20 World Cup twice along with West Indies and England. This World Cup was also different in the sense that a maximum of 20 teams participated in it and Team India did not lose a single match in its journey to become the champion. By the way, the T20 World Cup 2024 may have ended but its intoxication still dominates the hearts and minds of Indian fans. This enthusiasm and passion will remain intact till the World Cup champion team returns home.

Despite Team India’s title win, many cricket lovers could not enjoy the 2024 tournament like the previous tournaments. The reason for this was the slow pitches of America and West Indies, the presence of some very weak teams and the lack of ample ‘rain’ of fours and sixes despite the increase in the number of matches. During the matches held in America, the batsmen, runs and cricket lovers were seen yearning for fours and sixes. This situation improved after the matches were shifted to West Indies from the Super 8 round. Despite this, slow pitches remained a headache for the batsmen. It was expected that this time many scores of more than 250 would be seen but this did not happen.

The highest score of this World Cup was 218 runs (West Indies vs Afghanistan). Not only this, the 200 run mark was crossed in only four out of the total 55 matches. A total of 517 sixes were seen in these matches. The average of sixes per match was only 9.4 whereas in T20 format, this many sixes are usually hit in one innings of a match.

Some very weak teams, Uganda hit only one six

In order to make cricket global, the number of teams in the tournament was increased to 20 this time, but the presence of some very weak teams in it is also raising questions. It is natural to raise the question that is it justified to give place to such teams in a tournament like World Cup without setting a ‘standard’ of performance? For example, despite achieving one victory, Uganda’s team could not cross the score of 100 runs in any of its matches, while Papua New Guinea’s team could score only once. This effect was also seen in boundaries. In the group stage, Uganda hit only one six in four matches, this six was hit by the team’s batsman Robinson Obuya. The number of fours hit by the team in four matches was just 12.

Papua New Guinea hit only 4 sixes in 4 matches. Nepal and Ireland, who were eliminated after the group stage, also hit less than 10 sixes. Both countries hit only 9 sixes each.
