T20WC vs ODI WC

[Singh bling]

Leave aside nationalism. Honestly tell which cup you enjoyed more

 

For me T20 was much more entertaining than ODI WC

T20 is more entertaining to watch. The more prestigious trophy remains the ODI world Cup though, maybe it has to do that it happens every 4 years like a real big tournament. 

 

Think they need to change the ODI format a bit to make it interesting like 40 overs per side instead of 50.

Longer the format, lesser the chances for low ranked teams to do well. That's why test cricket is the ultimate toughest format in cricket.

T20 WC easily. There were hardly any thrillers in the 2023 WC, except a couple of matches like Pakistan SA match. 

 

While this T20 WC had many exciting matches including the finals. 

 

Odi WC has greater history and prestige but being only a 10 Team WC doesn't create an impression of a Global tournament, T20 WC with 20 teams looks like a Proper World Cup..

50 over CWC ,our campaign last year was immense joy

 

[Laaloo]

T20 is a joke. Id sacrifice 2-3 of these world cups just for one more ODI victory especially if we beat Australia in that final.

2011>2024=1983>2007.

 

Rest don't matter.

Agreed..test cricket has now become entertaining because of good bowler friendly pitches which provide results...t20 is a yawn fest until the last 10 overs of chasing side...many times the results are pretty apparent ..it is quite predictive these days..

 

I would try to make the rules and pitches more balanced to ensure the bowlers are in the contest and 300 is a winning total instead of 370 ie it is not an extended t20.

 

Odis follow a script..save wickets till 30 and then treat it as t20... That script needs to be changed.

 

The toss impact should be reduced.

 

Both of these can be addressed by breaking the game into 30 plus 20 overs with two winning conditions etc. basically make people excited for the entire duration of the game.

T20 is a lottery format, ODI isn't.

[Ultimate_Game]

I prefer ODIs to T20Is as T20s is way too unpredictable. ODIs provides a good balance between skills and luck as long as external factors such as dew or batting under lights don't skew the results in favor of a team.

ODI is premier world Cup no luck need real skill

[Frustrated]

Entertainment/Thrill Factor: Nothing beats T20WC.    But longer formats (ODI WC & Tests-WTC) are real cricket.

Like football the entire world plays T20. You can check scores on cricinfo but very few teams play odi. So T20 will get bigger and bigger with each cup. No chance for odi to grow.

Just checked a while ago, if there is some Cricket being played today. Found this, possible only due to T20s. 

 

Guess our Test Fanatics and Odi lovers want Cricket to be a limited affair between 10 Countries only.

Not true Football is played all over the year with 100s of leagues and it only made football bigger

[deathmonger]

ODI has that legacy effect but t20 will (is?) become the premier format of the future.

That is football

Just because it finishes nearly as quickly as football,t20s can be popular just like it?

I'm not against t20s,not at all against it

Infact the first edition in 2007 was a breath of fresh air

It is etched in my memory,but too many T20 leagues and the monotonous pattern has took the real flavour out of it

Now it looks scripted all over the globe
