T20 cricket is affecting the other formats more than the vice versa. This is never been more true than between 2015 to 2019 World Cups. There are 3 stats that show this trend clearly when we compare the periods between the 2007 to 11, 2011 to 15 and 2015 to 19 World Cups.

While T20 Cricket was well and truly alive during the 2011 to 15 period it had still not fully seeped into ODI cricket. However come 2015 to 19 it has fully taken over with nearly double the number of 300+ totals.

While the number of 100’s has had a steady increase since 2007, the number of 100’s with a 125% + strike rate has almost doubled as well.

Further evidence is that the Team Batting average has increased to 34.5 from 31.5 in the preceding 4 years.

Obviously bowlers have taken the brunt of this with Economy rates going up to almost 5.6 compared to 5.2 before. Even though the number of 4 and 5 wicket hauls have remained similar in this comparision, the number of economical bowling performances where the bowler has conceded less than 5 runs per over in an innings has gone down by more 25%.
