Innovation in T20WC 2022

[zen]

In many WCs, we see teams innovating (or even bringing back old ideas back). For e.g. in ODI WC 2019, Eng put an all out attacking batting theme in play. In the recent T20WC, we saw Aus use multiple multi-skilled players in its top 7 (Marsh, Maxwell, & Stoinis, along with Wade as WK) + a strong bowling attack. 

 

Let's get our crystal balls out. What can we expect in the upcoming T20WC in Aus? Will teams like Eng and Aus continue their current strategies? WI is expected to back its big hitters (If Wi is in form, we could see some innovative big hitting). Pak is likely to focus on bringing in a strong pace attack + some big hitting batsmen. Teams like NZ could take fielding to the next level. 

 

In general, are teams expected to go big in PP or gradually keep picking up the scoring rate? Will teams attack most of the time with the ball, looking for wkts? Will we see next level fielding?

 

I hope to see some new concepts and strategies in play!

Will be interesting to see how ENG goes in the tournament.  Archer, Stokes, etc. could be back. It is also a team that may have a point to prove in Aus after its poor performance in the recent Ashes

Hard length at high pace will be the flavor of the WC

Agree with this. England are vastly overrated. 

Pakistan will get ruthlessly crushed.

As T20s give little time for adjustment and the format now maturing, I am hoping that many of the teams adapt a fluid batting order. 
 

In this case, only the openers are fixed. The rest of the batting line up is situation dependent. If a team is 10/2, you send in one type of batsman; if the team is 80/1, you send in a more attacking batsman.
