Examples

“In its early days, T20 cricket had room for bowlers, be it through hard pitches that set fast bowlers' eyes alight or turners that saw spinners display their skills to the fullest. In today's world, the format has evolved so much that bowlers have almost zero say on the result of the games. The ongoing 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League is a prime example of how the format has become a 'batriarchy'.”

“In the short term, at least, the batriarchy will probably be overthrown at some point. Totals will drop as the surfaces begin to wear later in the tournament.”
