ODIs and T20Is Comparison: After the upset in the World Cup 2023 last night (October 17), a debate has intensified. This debate is related to the comparison of ODI and T20 cricket. On social media, some cricket fans and experts are calling T20 cricket the best, while some believe that ODI cricket is still better than T20.
In fact, in the last few T20 World Cups, small teams had caused many upsets. After this, T20 cricket started being considered more exciting than ODI. In this shortest format of cricket, there is rarely a chance to recover from mistakes. In such situations, sometimes big teams go wrong. But the way two major upsets have taken place in the last three days in the World Cup 2023, the superiority of ODI cricket seems to be proved once again. In what ways is ODI cricket considered better than T20? Know what is the opinion of fans on social media..
- Compared to T20 matches, in ODI cricket only the better team always wins. This is because every department of cricket is thoroughly tested in the 50 overs game. On the contrary, in T20, due to fewer overs being played, better performance in some departments also helps the team win the match.
- In ODI cricket, team game is the basis of victory. It is rare to see victory in single-handed matches here. At the same time, even an isolated performance in T20 cricket leads to victory in the match.
- If one or two mistakes are made in T20 cricket, then there is little chance of comeback. On the other hand, there are always chances for a comeback in ODI cricket. In last night’s match, Netherlands lost 5 wickets for 82 runs but after that they made a total score of 245 runs.
- In T20 cricket, most of the time the aim of the batsmen is to send the ball out of the boundary, whereas in ODI the batsman plays according to the situation. This means that sometimes he has to progress the innings slowly and sometimes he has to bat fast.
- ODI cricket requires better planning than T20 cricket. This is because in T20, decisions are mostly taken on the spot, whereas in ODI, the coach, captain and players have to think a lot in advance for the entire 50-50 overs. This was also visible in the match between South Africa and Netherlands. Netherlands players were setting bowling and fielding according to the slips for each Proteas batsman.
