The T20 World Cup is noted to be a batsman’s game rather than that of a bowler. The main emphasis of the bowlers is to make sure that the batsmen do not score too many runs. The performance of the bowlers makes a big difference in the conclusion of the match. In certain matches, the economy crossed 15 and became a big problem for the bowlers in focus.
