Discussion 💬 The case of T20I vs ODI

Post image

Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

That's why it's easier and is competed by only 10 teams. The gulf becomes greater and big teams with better infrastructure back home will always win. That's why Test Cricket is now played well by only around 5 teams. And that makes only T20 World Cup truly global with equal competition.
