New Delhi. T20 cricket is considered a game of batsmen. In this format the bowlers are seen on 'backfoot'. In almost every match, a flurry of fours and sixes are hit and a lot of runs are scored. Nowadays, scoring more than 200 or 250 runs is common in this format of cricket. In the Asian Games in the year 2023, a score of more than 300 was made in the match between Nepal and Mongolia. Nepalese team scored 314 runs for three wickets and won the match by a huge margin of 273 runs. It is possible that from June 1 next month, fans will also get to see matches with 300+ scores in the T20 World Cup 2024 (ICC T20 World Cup 2024).
However, amidst this 'domination' of the batsmen, there have been some matches in T20I in which the batsmen and not the bowlers were seen struggling for runs. These matches have been 'lowscoring' due to the weak performance of the batsmen and the help the bowlers are getting from the wicket. Most of these matches are played by amateur teams of world cricket. Talking about the T20 World Cup, in the 8 editions held so far, twice a team has been out with a score of less than 50. The interesting thing is that both the times this has happened with the Netherlands team and both the times this situation has happened. In the match against Sri Lanka.

Top 4 batsmen were included in these batsmen. At one point in this match, the team's account was not opened even after the fall of three wickets. This happened in the match between Kenya and New Zealand in the first T20 World Cup of 2007 in South Africa.
