IPL vs T20 World Cup: What do fans want to see? | Fans have their say on whether they want to see the IPL or T20 World Cup later in September-November 2020

One of the key talking points in the cricketing world right now is which major tournament we will see come September-November 2020.

IPL 2020, originally scheduled to start on March 29, has not gone ahead as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The BCCI and IPL are committed to ensuring the tournament goes ahead this year, and they are looking at the September-October window as a possibility to stage the tournament, even overseas.

The T20 World Cup is scheduled 18 October and 15 November in Australia, which creates some uncertainty as to what cricket fans will see later in the year. However, both the chairmans of Cricket Australia and Pakistan Cricket Board have indicated that the T20 World Cup is “unfeasible” and “unlikely” to go ahead this year, given the logistical challenges of hosting 16 teams during these times.

However, what do the fans want to see? CricBlog ran a poll on its Twitter page, asking fans from all over the globe what they would prefer to see in the September-November window. It was a neck-and-neck battle right the way through, and after 977 votes, it finished quite close.

The IPL, backed by its huge and passionate fanfare, finished on top with 54% of the votes. However, the different views of fans indicated that love for the international game remains.

However, another fan argued that a World Cup without travelling fans wouldn’t be the same.

So, what would you prefer to see in the September-November window in a cricket-starved 2020? Would you like to see the T20 World Cup go ahead even without international fans travelling, or would you prefer to see the IPL, even if staged outside India?

Do have your say.
