Test Cricket is about Attacking Bowling and Defensive Batting. The side with the best bowlers usually win.

T20/BBL is about Defensive Bowling (keeping the scoring low) and Attacking Batting (scoring sixers, not singles)

In the short game of 20 overs, what point is it if no batsmen get out but only score 100 runs from tight bowling restricting runs? When the opposition make 101 with only two players left not out.

In the long game. Getting wickets is the game changer.

That would be negated by the home team providing flat tracks. You need good fast and slow bowlers plus good attacking and defensive batmen. Check out the best teams in history, they always have a good batsman and a good bowler.

Note how the batsmen in the Test arena have always been small of stature to minimalised target area against bowlers. Bradman, Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Lara, Smith and so on. Very defensive, with the aim not to get out via singles to fours mostly.
T20/BBL batsman that are the game winners tend to be taller which allows them a bigger swing margin to hit sixers or over the restricted field placements.
Short game bowlers prime role is to bowl balls that runs are hard to come by, wicket is the bonus.

Test bowlers will allow a batsmen to score, if the bowler knows he's luring the batsman to lose his wicket. They have 90 overs with the luxury to bowl wider or higher than short game bowlers. Bumrah lured a batsman today to the off, then bowled to leg, sadly the catch was dropped. It cost him just 3 runs in the over.

Test is the Bowlers game
T20/BBL is the Batsman's game.

...One Dayers are the All-rounders game.
