T20 cricket is more of a batting format than bowling. The run flow in this format makes the job tough for the bowlers. Earlier, the score of 200 used to be the defending total in one-day cricket. But now, these scores are not safe in T20 cricket. However, in this format, the wicket tally doesn't represent the bowlers performance. One thing that matters the most is the economy rates. Bowlers with low economy rate stop the run flow of the batting side. Sometimes the batter throws away their wicket due to the tight economy rate of the bowlers.
