What about the format? This year has a completely new format, and i find it very weird. If i had the choice, then i would like a format like this:
All 10 teams play 13 matches minimum(league stage + group stage).
All teams play each other once, therefore total 9 games per team. Each win gives 2 points, draw/NR 1 point, loss 0.
Now, divide the points table into two halves: top 5 and bottom 5. The top 5 teams all play each other, and bottom 5 teams all play each other. Each win here gives 3 points, draw/NR 1 point, loss 0. That's 4 games for each team, so each team has now played 9 + 4 = 13 games.
Now, draw up the points table(combined points table for league and group stage). The top 4 teams with most points qualify for knockouts. The first placed team directly goes to the final. The third and fourth teams play an eliminator, loser is eliminated. Winner of 3rd vs 4th plays second, and the winner goes to the final.
What do you think about this format?
if you look at the bowling though , Cummins will give 4 good overs , Mavi will be expensive , Southee will be expensive , Narine is average and Chak is also most prob gonna be expensive . Even RCB has a better bowling lineup .
