Would the trend of high scores that we are witnessing in IPL 2024, will it continue in ICC T20 World Cup 2024?

They will not because the selected ind t20 wc team does not contribute to this tally much. Rohit kohli pandya jadeja will all struggle snd will leave the heavy hitting to jaiswal sky dube.. 4 batsmen out of 7 are useless misfits for T20s.

This is the combo of young and senior players i think it will work in favour of India quite well in the world cup

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto feels that the run fest happening in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not an indication of what will happen in the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, He told the media in Mirpur after Bangladesh lost the fifth and final T20I against Zimbabwe today:

"I think even in last year's PSL [Pakistan Super League], scores over 200 and even in excess of 250 were scored. But from my understanding, if a team makes over 160, around 175-180 or 200, that's a very good score in international cricket. You don't see such scores too often."

"I think, we will see similar scores in the World Cup, the scores will be around 160-180 on good wickets. The bowlers will have to defend those scores or teams would have to chase it. I don't think a comparison with the IPL is logical in any way."

Rashid Khan, while speaking in an interview with a local Indian media outlet, talked about high-scoring encounters in IPL 2024:

"As a bowler, high batting totals makes it harder - when you see scores of 250, 260 and 280 being posted by teams on TV, it gives you various challenges as a bowler. But still, the bowlers have to come out with their best - everyone is having different skills."

"So, as long as you believe in your skills, that gives you a better chance to perform than the others. Though batters are doing great, we as bowlers can do better and can learn from it after being hit for runs. I am sure the bowlers will learn from this experience and will be more mature from it."

This guy is living in denial.

Yes 250+ scores are difficult to achieve consistently in international cricket, but the skill level has shot up and teams who have traditionally relied on bowlers only will struggle.

Batting powerhouses, who have dynamic batsmen coming all the way down to number 10, have a massive advantage before the toss is even done. T20 mindset is more about just scoring runs now rather than partnerships, staying at the crease etc

The science and philosophy has changed, and IPL has had a major role to play in that.

Ultra-aggressive cricket transformed T20 but time will tell if players can do it in WC: Langer​

New Delhi, Ultra-aggressive cricket, especially in the powerplay, has transformed the shortest format but it remains to be seen if the players can replicate it in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Americas, said Lucknow Super Giants head coach Justin Langer.

IPL teams have scored 200 or more 37 times this season so far but LSG managed to achieve the feat only once against Chennai Super Kings last month and Langer admitted that they had struggled in the powerplay.

"The Lucknow wicket has been a real contest between bat and ball whereas a lot in this tournament has been very one sided towards the bat. So that's certainly, we haven't capitalised in our powerplay like some of the other teams have," Langer said after LSG lost by 19 runs to Delhi Capitals here on Tuesday night.

"...it's been absolutely amazing watching some of these powerplays. It's almost transformed the game. And whether people can continue to do this and whether they can do it during the World Cup, time will tell. But it's certainly been ultra aggressive cricket."

Defending 209, DC had reduced LSG to 71 for 5 but pace all-rounder Arshad Khan gave a real scare when he slammed an unbeaten 33-ball 58 before the hosts held their nerves to limit the visitors to 189 for 9.

"I think Arshad is a very good cricketer. You saw that he swung the ball early. He's a good fieldsman and to be able to bat like that, he's a very good package," Langer said.

"I've thought the whole way through watching this tournament that he's got huge potential and he showed some of that tonight. So when he becomes more consistent, particularly with his bowling, he could be a real handful and a very, very good all-around cricketer."

For DC, Tristan Stubbs was sensational as he smashed a 25-ball 57 and then returned to take a wicket.

"I think Tristan Stubbs, that wicket was important obviously. We tried Hooda when the two left-handers were in and he got a wicket for us two games ago, he didn't get one this game, whereas Stubbs did," Langer said.

"So I thought if we had been a little more intelligent with our batting today, that was a chaseable score on this wicket. He's a very good cricketer. I've been seeing the power plays in the first six, but we're also seeing the way some of these teams are finishing off, and I think Stubbs is an outstanding cricketer."

Talking about the focus on match-ups these days, Langer said: "There's so much data these days, so when you do your analysis leading into every game and what often happens traditionally is left-handers don't have as much impact on the game against off-spin when the ball's spinning away.

"You saw Bishy bowled beautifully when they're spinning away, whereas when the ball's spinning back into the left-hander or the off-spin is spinning back into the right-hander, it tends to be more in the arc to be hitting some of these sixes.

"So generally the thinking is that the ball that's turning away from the batsman, left or right, is the way that most teams tend to match it up. Often when a wicket quickly falls, you look to get an off spinner on ... and the truth is, there's not too many Ravi Ashwins or Nathan Lyons in the world. So it's a specialist role, that's why often part-timers are used."

Quite an achievement for the Indian team to come straight from an IPL on flat highways and win on NY/Caribbean style pitches.

Not that it is to easy to play and win on relatively flat pitches either.

Losing a Test match to Bangladesh on a relatively flat Pindi pitch should be a stark reminder of that
