Rain and one-sided contests have killed excitement of World Cup 2019
New Delhi, June 18 (CRICKETNMORE): When the International Cricket Council (ICC) had announced that the 2019 edition of the 50-over World Cup will be played in a round-robin format consisting of only the top 10 teams, a lot of questions were raised. After all, restricting an event like the World Cup to just 10 teams meant depriving some of the associate nations an opportunity to showcase their skills on the biggest platform.
ICC had reasoned that they wanted competitive and fierce action on the field instead of boring, one-sided clashes which can be expected when a higher-ranked team plays an associate team or a qualifier. The international body was of the view that increasing the number of teams would not guarantee increase in viewership and hence, the tournament would become boring.
