As the tournament progressed, the pitch wore a slightly friendly look but run scoring was still not easy. It was made sure that competition between bat and ball is even. But, regardless of the challenges, the World T20 saw some extraordinary batting shows. The ‘Willow Wielders’ took the challenge head on and adapted very quickly to scores heaps runs for their teams.
