If we talk about the T20 format of cricket, then it is considered favorable for the batsmen. We get to see a lot of fours and sixes in this format and that is the reason why not much happens in this format for the bowlers. However, despite this, there are many bowlers who take a lot of wickets in this format as well and do not allow the batsmen to score runs easily.
