With T20 cricket becoming increasingly more batter-dominated, bowlers with the “X-factor” could make all the difference in the World Cup in June, says West Indies head coach Daren Sammy.

The batting bias of cricket’s shortest format is evident in the ongoing IPL, where 200-plus scores have become a routine and 300 does not look impossible anymore.

Sammy, who captained West Indies to both their T20 World Cup titles, expected the batting carnage to continue in the June showpiece.

“It’s not just the young bowlers, every single international bowler has been under pressure. Look at the IPL, teams are scoring 200 and it’s not a safe total. “The difference will be some X-factor bowlers,” he said. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
