op You are right everything changes over time. Playing cricket is no exception. In the words of our Bangladesh team, they have many records of winning matches even after scoring 250 runs. And now Bangladesh cannot win many matches if they score 300 runs. The stronger the current team is in batting, the better the team is in terms of performance. The match we had with New Zealand vs Pakistan in the 2023 World Cup I saw match, New Zealand set a target of 400 runs to Pakistan. Unfortunately New Zealand could not win that match. Pakistan won the match due to rain due to rain. After Pakistan won that match, the New Zealand captain said that Pakistan was the favorite team and lucky.
Cricket has become a batsmen's game now. Boundaries have become shorter and new rules for powerplay restrictions and noball has out the bowlers at a disadvantage. When a team scores 400 batting first and then goes on to lose that match, you know how biased this sport has become. And it's not like New Zealand is a weak bowling side. They had exceptional bowlers such as Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Mitchell Santner in their squad. I am not sure whether this is the way for cricket to move forward. I would rather prefer some sort of equilibrium between the batsmen and the bowlers.
