Pakistan vs New Zealand fifth T20 match

Today, the fifth T20 match i.e. the last T20 match of the T20 series between the host Pakistan and the visiting New Zealand team is going to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. In this five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, after the hosts Pakistan won the second T20I, they were miserably defeated by the New Zealand team in the third and fourth in the next two matches. In the two matches that the Pakistan team lost, their batting, bowling and fielding performances were not good, which saw them losing the match to a young and inexperienced New Zealand team. Today's match is very important for Pakistan team because if New Zealand team wins then they will easily win this T20 series against Pakistan.

Pakistan's team has too much busy schedule until the World Cup finish because they have back to back series and back-to-back tours to other countries.
Today New Zealand series will be finished and then Pakistan will go to the Ireland tour to play three T20Is matches. This series will be start from 10 May then they are going to be play in England against them for four T20Is matches. That would be starting from 22nd May while Ireland series will finish on 14 May.
After this, they had to go to America and the West Indies to play World Cup T20. There are back to back T20Is matches for Pakistan.

Today's 1st T20 match of Pakistan Women vs West Indies Women team has already started. Now West Indies Women team came to the field to bat. West Indies Women team scored 63 runs by losing 2 wickets in 11 overs. Hayley Matthews did not bat well in today's match. Hayley Matthews 2  Shemaine Campbelle got out for 0 runs off 6 balls. Pakistan Women team can win this match if Pakistan Women team can perform well.

Another match for Pakistan women team's with West Indies Women and another loss for Pakistan women again by West Indies. Now, it is a must for Pakistani women to win the next match against West Indies because already they had to face many embarrassments after the whitewashing of ODI series with West Indies before this series of T20.

I think in this series, we can expect this type of performance with Pakistani women. Three ODI and one T20, West Indies take over from the Pakistan in their home ground but still, there is just a T20 passed and still fours T20Is matches are left. If they gave good performances in those matches, there might be a chance that they could be winner in this series of T20.

today a brilliant performance by New Zealand and won this game by just 4 runs they gave the target of 179 to pakistan. Robinson made fifty an excellent spell by abbas afridi takes 3 wickets in three overs. but pak team made only 175 in 20 overs. fakhar zaman played excellent innings of 61 runs but unlucky to finish match for his team. pak lost wickets early in powerplay which put pressure on them in last over 18 runs required but imad wasim failed to chased. 6 run needed on last ball makes the game more interesting excellent performance by new Zealand team their B team was playing and they lead the series by 2-1

When Pakistan lost day before yesterday’s match then the whole crowd was very disappointed and by the way, the Stadium was full and the local crowd came with this hope that the Pakistan team would win the match but they were wrong. Pakistan team performed totally opposite of what was expected of them.

However, when the whole crowd was disappointed then the cameramen focused the camera on the small children and they started to cry, I took a screen shoot but I was not able to take a photo of the crying children.  Small girls and boys, they are were starting to cry at yesterday’s match when Pakistan lost the match. This loss hits much harder to the children who are more emotionally attached to the team.

Those who are dependent on me  I am talking about my family and all the other members of the family including parents and wives are dependent on me and if they love me then they will be happy with my happiness and sad with my sadness. When I win it will surely be fun for them if they accept gambling. But if they don't accept gambling then it's a different matter.


Yes, only those who are dependent on you will enjoy your winnings and they are the ones who will be really happy for you. These are those people who will become sad too because your winning and losing depends upon how they can live their lives. No other person like your best friends or relatives can have the same feelings as your family members.

Assuming my family accepts my gambling then if I win money by gambling I am sure every member of my family will be very happy and if I lose a lot of money they will be very sad. I know about my family, friends they may claim to be happy but they may not be happy but I am sure about my family that they are happy with my win.

No matter how close you have friends, they won't be 100% sincere with you and at some point, they will start to feel jealous of your winnings.
As a matter of fact, it would be best for us not to tell about our every win to our close friends or the person we think are near to us (except our family members).
People will only feel jealous of you no matter how much you are close with them.

Muhammad Amir and Imad Wasim would be play together today after such a long time.

Without Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, Muhammad Amir is nothing because he is also in need of a good partner so that pressure is maintained at the other end. If one bowler give lose balls and the other bowler gave the ball with high speed with a swing and the two good bowlers were resting for sure Pakistan would lose the match.

If you realize that Pakistan cannot win any other match after the first match then see this analysis because only in the first match (the 2nd one indeed as the first was no play because of rain), Babar Azam decided to play such a good playing 11 that New Zealand team under 100 score. Also, there was Rizwan and now the Pakistan team have to say goodbye to Rizwan for one month and maybe for the next series.

Sunrise Hyderabad lost the affected batting early on and the team fell to a massive wicket. Six wickets fell especially in the powerplay as the six wickets were the most aggressive of the batting, and Royal Challengers Bangalore's bowling performance was very good. Sunrise hyderabad is one of the strongest team as the best team of this season, sunrise hyderabad team scored 200 plus runs in other games but came to this match and scored 171 runs. But if he performed keeping the wicket under control, he could definitely win.

I don't know if we are missing this that even if Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their six wickets in only 85 runs and lost all their top order batsmen but still they managed to score 170+ runs. They have to play their next games with Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians and need to win most of their matches to remain on the top 4 on the table.  

Shahbaz Ahmed made 40 runs and remained not out while Pat Cummins, the captain for the Sunrisers Hyderabad made 30 runs. This shows team commitment and also it helps them not to lose with 80-90 runs and further damage their net run rate.

I bet $10 yesterday in favor of Sunrisers Hyderabad and I was sure Sunrisers Hyderabad might win.

Nothing can be said with surety these days as to who will win the match. Good that you placed the bet with only 10$ otherwise you may have lost more as it was a tempting match to put a lot of money on Sunrisers Hyderabad  Cool

First, there were issues in the middle order, and now the opening order problem is growing in the Pakistani team. Captain Babar isn't scoring, and despite having Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim, who were heroes in the PSL, they couldn't perform against New Zealand's second-string team on their home turf. Their failure to capitalize on home advantage resulted in poor outcomes. Credit to the Blackcaps for their strong performance. With a 2-1 lead, they have the upper hand to win the series.

In the last ball, Imad Wasim could have been hit six (and things could have been different) but the bowler was too much clever and gave the ball onto the offside which caused if Imad Wasim hit on the edge on the bat of the bottom side then the ball might be going for six otherwise there has no chance to hit six on that ball.
Imad Wasim also tried to play that same shot but the one player is back and forth which was the reason of not hitting the six in that ball and Pakistan lost the match. Before that ball, the crowd was very excited to see the last ball but they didn’t get the result in their favor.

Now that Pakistan can't win this series, but they are very close to losing this series with New Zealand B or C team if they lose the last match, Even if they win, the series will be a draw and New Zealand will be happy with the results.

You are right, this time Royal Challengers Bangalore hard work really paid off. Royal Challengers Bangalore won this match by 35 runs, almost all the batsman of Royal Challengers Bangalore have performed well in this match especially Virat kholi, R Patidar and C green they three player well contribute  and stand a big score.

No doubt when a team play well, they will win for sure but do you think it will pay off Royal Challengers Bangalore team in this IPL ? Even if they win all the remaining matches (which is more than a miracle), they still will have difficulty qualifying the finals/knockouts. I don't think that with one win, people should start thinking too much positivity about a team that has lost so many matches. A loss in their next match will end this hype  Smiley

I think since there are big players in this team like Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj and others, therefore all of the media and people are exicted to see them win a match. They have lost six matches in row and therefore it was a refreshing win for them.

Patidar, Green, spinners thump SRH to end six-match losing streak

It's a strange strategy by Pakistan to go with two all-rounders, i.e. Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim. Both are spinners and not very effective bowlers. Shadab was not given bowl because Imad Wasim was bowling. Abbas Afridi was good with the bowl as he picked 3 wickets while rest of bowlers struggle to get wickets and gave away too many runs. Pakistan have to win last match to level the series.

Yesterday, if Imad Wasim had done something good then today we are saying that Pakistan won last night's match and at that time, I remembered an inning of Imad Wasim where the situation was like this.

On that occasion he was on strike while Afghanistan bowler present on the opposite side and Imad Wasim already decided to give them lose, and until the last ball my hope were the same but when the bowler released the ball from his hands and Imad Wasim tried to hit on the offside but in that ball, nobody can be hit six instant of Roman Powell. Only he had the ability to be play that type of ball out of the ground.

I think it was difficult to blame the batsmen's fault for this loss as no batsman in the world can hit a sure shot six on the last ball. It's just a game of chance at that time. The team should have batted well before so they don't have to face this last ball six runs required situation.

Today is the 42nd match of IPL season where Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings will fight. Among these two teams, Punjab Kings' position is similar to that of Royal Challengers Bangalore as they have a higher win-loss ratio. Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore are side by side at the bottom of the points table. Let's see how well Punjab Kings team can play today against their stronger team Kolkata Knight Riders.

You are absolutely right about it as as Punjab kings have only won two matches and are at the bottom of the table. Also, we see Kolkata Knight Riders on the top 2 teams and there is no match between these two. But we have seen how yesterday Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the match against the strong Sunrisers Hyderabad team. Can we see the same upset today ?

I don't think so, as upsets do not happen every day and therefore I will place a safe bet on Kolkata Knight Riders  Smiley



Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Punjab Kings
Toss Win: Punjab Kings
Team Win: Kolkata Knight Riders
Best Batsman:    Shreyas Iyer
Best Bowler: Mitchell Starc

Pakistan has been able to win the second match pretty easily. The first match was not played. The third match is going to be played tonight. I hope to see another great performance from Pakistan.
Many of us were very excited to see Mohammad Amir in the Pakistan team as he joined the national team after a long time and played against New Zealand.We all may have observed that the first T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan was abandoned due to rain but in the second T20I, New Zealand team batsmen could not stand up to Pakistan's bowlers.Mohammad Amir gave an impeccable bowling performance in that second T20I but suddenly he was dropped in the third T20I. The reason why he was dropped for the third T20 match against New Zealand is still unknown to us. The match in which Md Amir was dropped was Pakistan's seven-wicket loss to New Zealand which was not at all expected by the Pakistan team.

If there could be Asif Ali then we are likely to see the Pakistan as winner because at the last, there is only one player who can change the game, who can change the match but that player is not in the squad.

Asif Ali is one of the best finishers ever who can do finish a match against any team and he tries every thing to see his team as the winner every time, he can hit 4 sixes in an over for finish in the good way. I think so PCB should have to focus on it because he is such a wonderful player and Pakistan is also in need of a good finisher.

Also this has been in discussion in previous years also and can be further read here Asif Ali is what Pakistan needs, says ex-captain

NZ batsmen have done a good job and now there bowlers are doing good job. Pakistan in deep trouble as they have lost three key wickets in power play and score is 48. NZ are very much in control of the match at the moment and Pakistan need someone to bat exceptionally well to get team out of this troubled situation. Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman are batting at the moment and all eyes on this pair to perform something for the country.

From the start of the match, I was thinking about why Shadab Khan was not doing the bowling in today’s match, he did only fielding in this innings, maybe he could have got a chance to be bat in this innings and this is what happened  Wink

I think instead of Usama Mir, he has to play. By the way, Usama Mir is the most poorest player ever, I don’t know how he made his place into the World Cup 2023 but I think that was his first and the last World Cup because till now his performance is not like that he comes in the squad of the World Cup 2024 which would be played into 20 overs format.

RCB batsmen batted brilliantly against Sunrise Hyderabad and batted responsibly from the start which led to RCB scoring 206 runs in the allotted 20 overs. RCB set a target of 207 runs to Sunrise Hyderabad although the batting line of Sunrise Hyderabad is very strong 207 runs is not a big score for Sunrise Hyderabad. But if the RCB bowlers can bowl aggressively from the start, if they can take early wickets and put Sunrise Hyderabad batsmen under pressure, the match might be competitive. But in order to win against Sunrise Hyderabad, the batsmen of RCB must have batted responsibly, if the bowlers can bowl responsibly from the beginning and if Sunrise can put pressure on the batsmen of Hyderabad by taking wickets in the beginning, then maybe RCB can win the match. Now let's see if RCB wins for the first time in the end?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen and the whole team played very well, did the impossible, that is to snatch the win from the favorites Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Also it was not a close game as RCB won the match by 35 runs. Scoring 207 runs at the Hyderabad pitch was enough to secure their winning position in the match.

The main reason why Royal Challengers Bengaluru batting clicked today was that their openers Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis made runs and this gave a platform to the team and helped the latter batsmen the freedom to play and make big runs. Do not forget the innings of Rajat Patidar who made 50 runs in only 20 balls. This was a record in itself by the RCB.

The 4th T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan is underway.  Pakistan after winning the toss decided to bowl and New Zealand openers are on fire. After 5 overs New Zealand score is 56 and they have lost just one wicket of Tom Blundell. If New Zealand keep moving like that then they will score around 180 which will be a competitive target. Pakistan bowlers need to pick wickets to stop New Zealand from scoring runs.

In this match, I think the wickets of Abbas Afridi were not effort in it of Abbas Afridi because if you have seen the match then you can relate that the two catches which were very hard to catch and easily can be dropped.
Iftikhar Ahmed picked those wickets in such a tough situation that is why I am saying this but also his effort on the 6th wicket where he has done a wonderful inside yorker that could not be played by the batsmen and the batsmen lost his wicket.
He picked three wickets of which two were the effort of Iftikhar Ahmed and he picked just a wicket by his effort.

Scores well in above of 200 or even 220 has become a norm in this season of the Indian Premier League. Records for team total, highest individual score and most number of sixes were broken multiple times so far, and we still have dozens of matches remaining. And at the same time, the bowlers are suffering like anything. The real risk for them is if other franchise leagues around the world (such as the Bib Bash League and the Hundred) adopt this strategy and then setup tiny boundaries with pitches that offer zero support for the bowlers.

Even scoring 200+ runs teams do not find themselves to be in wining positions and have to struggle for it. Like we find in the yesterday's match that Delhi Capitals even after scoring a decent 224 runs, won this match by just 4 runs and many times it seems that Gujarat Titans will chase this score but fell short only by 4 runs.

Rishabh Pant was a game changer in this match who made 88 runs in only 43 balls. Due to this innings, the Delhi Capitals were able to score good and above 220 runs. If he was not able to play this inning, the opponent would have won the match easily.

The geometry-defying genius of Rishabh Pant

In today clash on Indian Premier League competition, both Sunrisers Hyderabad squad members and Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad member will take part in 41st match. Both squads displayed their impressive and superb effort in their previous matches. But I have some doubt from members of Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad because their squad performance was not good in full competition with just single victory player total 8 games. So I decide to choose squad Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad as a winner I feel that their squad will get a victory in this match.


I think there is no close match between the two teams. On one side we have Sunrisers Hyderabad who is a strong team and one of the favorite team to play in the finals and then we have Royal Challengers Bangalore who is finding it hard to find any win in this IPL. They lost the last six matches that they played and had a win only against  Punjab Kings. Contrary to this, Royal Challengers Bangalore won last four matches and hoping to win this one too.



My Predictions for today's match is as below.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Toss Win: Royal Challengers Bangalore (I guess i am late)
Team win: Sunrisers Hyderabad
Best Batsmen:   Aiden Markram
Best bowler: Pat Cummins

Pakistan vs New Zealand 4th T20I

4th T20I between Pakistan and Newzealand will be played today at Lahore. Series is levelled after New Zealand beat Pakistan comprehensively in 3rd T20I. Pakistan really need to work hard to save this series after shocking defeat in 3rd T20I. The side winning today's game will save the series for itself. Before this series everyone was predicting that it will be an easy win for Pakistan but now it looks like it will be an interesting contest between both teams.

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first which could be a nice decision according to me and the conditions.  Just because today’s surface is nice for batsmen and spinners as you can see in the pitch report where Pakistani famous commentator Urooj Mumtaz said that today the ball would nicely come to the bat which would be the advantage for the batsmen.

However, I think that pitch doesn’t have too much impact on the game because it is simple that the team who performed well would win the match. This is a simple math. After a few moments, we are likely to see Muhammad Amir, Abbas Afridi, bowling.

Anyways everyone will miss Rizwan in this match as he won't be playing in this series.

Rizwan to miss remainder of New Zealand T20Is with hamstring injury

Even someone took them to play on the game and they finally loss the game with the amount showcase here, they don't have to nlame anyone but o themselves. Because there were two options for them to select. Either they say no or accept the influence. And they accept the influence and luck gone out from them. And I don't think in the amount would just leave the opay without their permission. That their part of the story is like a blasphemy because Opay is one of the best online banking apps in the country.
And we don't have to blame anyone foe our downfall and mistakes we do in life. Gambling is purely for luck and if you don't have the luck to win and anyhow you try there would be no win. So they should not blame the App.

I think if a person blames someone that he has lost in gambling that he should not be a gambler  Huh
A gambler is not so weak that he starts to cry about losses and blame other people that because of someone else, he faced the loss. He chooses to gamble by his own will, no one forced him to gamble and therefore in case of a loss, he is solely responsible for this.

I have learnt over the passage of time, that you are alone in gambling when it comes to the money in gambling. If you win, the money is yours and if you lose, no one shares or take the responsibility of the loss. The profit from gambling is only for the person gambling and the loss is also for the same person.

239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 24, 2024, 05:48:01 PM
In the first match, New Zealand lost all wickets for just 99 runs. They are completely destroyed by the Pakistani bowlers. In that sequence, the New Zealand team is naturally a weak opponent for Pakistan.
1st T20I between Pakistan vs New Zealand, was abandon due to rain. And in 2nd T20I match, i just wondered how Pakistan destroyed the a strong team like New Zealand! But a little correction is, new Zealand all out within 90 runs. And Pakistan won that match easily but in 3rd T20I match, New Zealand revenge back with Pakistan. And you can see, how they became developed themselves and won that match against Pakistan?? Pakistan scored 178/4 runs but it can't helped them to win. Cause New Zealand Players gave more effort and won the match and still they had estimate 2 overs and 7 wickets. Credit goes to Mark Chapman(87) who just ensure the winning possible for New Zealand

In the last match, the team of Pakistan's most important player was injured and he was rule out from the series who is  Muhammad Rizwan.

He was injured during the third T20I match and I think that the main reason behind his injury is training that was done by all players before this series in Kabul and on that there was such strict tanning.

Also, it was given just like the training given to the Army men,  in which they asked the players to be pick a person on their back and according to the weight of the player, they arranged the person and also Azam Khan would not play this series because he also gets this problem from this training.

240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 24, 2024, 05:36:35 PM
Maybe I’m the one mistaken to believe that your job and your hobby should be two different things. I love my job, but it is not fun for me all the time. I worry about providing the best service, marketing, deadlines, managing staff…all this things take away the joy that is associated with a hobby. My hobbies are fun activities I choose to do, and my job is something I need to do. Key difference being the needs and wants.

A job is something where we get a set defined income and we are sure that after every month the money will be transferred to our account.
However, gambling is a different thing as you are not sure if you will win or lose. Also, winning or losing in gambling is not guaranteed as sometimes you may win a lot and sometimes you may lose a lot. So basically it is almost impossible to compare jobs and gambling side by side.

The answer to whether gambling is a hobby or not will vary from person to person. Some people gamble to make money while others play it for fun. But self-control is a big issue here. I think it's better to take it as a hobby.

I don't think we have a choice to take gambling as a hobby. Gambling is not a job and there is no second thought to it. You may ask this from 100 gamblers and 95% of those will agree to it. The remaining 5% will still insist on comparing jobs with gambling and they have their point of view which may not be right for most of people.
