I think everything in T20s and 50 over games is stacked against the bowlers. Especially in the subcontinent pitches where the pitches are also very flat. Then you have the power plays and mandatory ball change. Now this 2.5 meter rule. I think ICC needs to make it a more even contest between the ball and bat.

I have to agree - the batsmen seem to have an unfair advantage, because the wickets are very evenly paced. Perhaps we will see the contest even up in the latter stages of the tournament once the wickets have been played on more?
The 2.5 meter rule....mmmmm...yes. I think the 3rd umpire should be used in conjunction with this rule. If the video evidence does not conclusively show that the ball would've hit the stumps,then the batsmen stays. But if the ball hits the stumps full on, even if the 2.5 m rule can be applied, give the batsmen out.
The bowlers also deserve the benefit of the doubt when they bowl a good ball.
