Cricket match prediction discussions

I don't think even rain can save England from crashing to an inning's defeat against New Zealand. More than 2/3rd of the second day's play was washed out, but still New Zealand are in a very strong position. They are 171 runs ahead with 6 wickets in hand. Looking at the way England batted in the first innings, it won't take too long for New Zealand to wrap them up again.

Only heavy rains could save the England from this test match to get it draw else it will be very difficult for them to save them self to get it even draw. NZ are already 175 runs ahead and 6 wickets remaining. So a lead of 300 would be more than enough to get England wrap up under that score in 2nd innings.
 

The odds in favour of a draw are slowly increasing, but no thanks to the English cricket team's performance. After most of the second day's play was washed out, rain played spoil sport on the third day as well. Only 17 balls were possible. The best strategy for New Zealand would be to declare immediately and put England to bat. There is no chance of New Zealand losing, but an immediate declaration might put pressure on England.

It will be unfortunate for NZ if they couldn't win the test match against England.The rain forced them to not play in whole day no 3.NZ is lead by 175 runs and Day-3 stumps.But I believe still NZ have chance to win this match.They need to make a big target for England and All out them in Day 5.

Tomorrow we have some interesting match between Islamabad united vs Peshawar zalmi so can I get any tip about which team going to win the PLS 2018. I think the Peshawar zalmi have good batting and bowling attack so they will be the winner.

Really feeling bad for NZ because they showed brilliant performance on the test against England but seems.like the rain won't let them win this match.Currently, they are 175 runs ahead and they have 2 full days to play.But if rain continue to interrupt ,I am afraid that it won't be possible for NZ to seal the match.

2 days left that is more enough to win this match for NZ but next 2 days rain should not disturb then only it is possible. NZ already lead by 175 runs tomorrow if they play 2 more sessions and add 150 more runs means it will become tough for England to win this match. but according to weather report tomorrow also rain will come let's see what will happen.

South Africa are well on top at the end of day 2 in the 3rd test against Australia. South Africa still lead by 66 runs with Australia only having 1 wicket in hand, once again a few of the Australian batsman got starts but couldn't go on to make that hundred, this is whats letting them down in this series and Smith not in good form is also not helping Australia's chances at winning the series. South Africa look like winning this test match unless Australia come out and bowl them out for less then 200 runs which we give them a chance to chase down a total under 300, if the lead goes over 300 for South Africa, then I think they will win.

Bowlers did a very good job for SA team for restricting Australia for just 245 runs and left only one more wicket in this innings. This is very good opportunity for SA to win this match. They have to bat well in the second innings to put more pressure on Australia batsman in second innings. Australia may come back very strong in the second innings batting so SA has to score at least 350+ runs in the second innings.

South Africa are in command here, stretching their lead to 294 with 5 wickets in hand and 2 full days of play left. If they add another 100 runs to their second innings total, they should be able to generate enough pressure to win this match. With DeVilliers still playing on 51, that shouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately, the focus is now on ball-tampering rather than the South African batsmen.

Yeah it looks like South Africa look certain to win this test match now as they lead by 294 runs with 5 wickets in hand. With AB de Villiers still at the crease on 51 should see South Africa get at least a 350+ run lead unless Australia are able to get him early on in the first 10 overs on day 4. 350+ runs will be very tough to chase down on this up and down pitch, even 300 runs will be a winning total I believe for South Africa. Australia have also admitted to ball tampering so we'll see what happens after this test match where this is concerned.

I wanted to see New Zealand winning this test match after a wonderful bowling performance and i hope the rain wont affect the rest of the match.
Another closely contested match between Australia and South Africa is going on and now Australians are under ball tampering controversy ,things are getting interesting and ABD is still in the crease .

Today is final ICC cricket world cup qualifier match between WI and Afghanistan. In the last encounter between these two teams, Afghanistan won the match with superb bowling performance to restrict WI batsman for a reasonable score. Today may be the different day but we can still expect a good fighting performance from this new Afghanistan team. What do you think, who will win this match today?

New Zealand definitely deserves to win this match, they been absolutely devastating and England players don't know what hit them. Currently England has already lost a wicket and they're trailing by a good margin, England can pray for rains because nothing else can save them now.

Their series has been really controversial and the ball tempering has added another dimension to it. Africa has a healthy lead of 294, it'll be interesting if Australia can fight their way back in, another interesting match to watch for.

West Indies have qualified so I hope Afghanistan makes the cut today, they deserve to be at the World Cup.

If I had to put my money on this match, I would put it on West Indies. They had a bad day against Afghanistan the previous day, and still seem to struggle against spinners. But if one of the big guns get going, it will put the match out of Afghanistan's reach. Afghanistan are underdogs and will hope to achieve another upset.

Both West Indies and Afghanistan have already qualified to the World Cup. The qualifying countries were decided on the basis of points and it was finalized a few days back. The final is just to determine who will win the ICC World Cup Qualifiers tournament.

When it comes to international experience West Indies have the advantage and it looks good in papers as they have some super stars, but Afghanistan has some talented players too who could contribute in the field as well as in both departments ,i am impressed with some of their performances and i am sure they can defeat West Indies in this match as Afghanistan is chasing a modest 205 runs to win the match.

SA has being all out in 2nd innings on a score of 373 runs . OZ now require a huge score of 430 runs and reminding that in 1st innings they were all out for 255 runs. Batting 4th would not be that easy but it will be huge task for OZ to come to near that score of 430.

OZ performed really bad in this test match and they even could not make their first innings total or reach anywhere near that score. They got all out in 107 runs and SA won it easily with 322 runs. Also Steven smith is being fined 100% of this match fee and one test ban due to ball tampering case.

[DU18]

NZ needs more 7 wickets on the final day of the test match against England.England made a good opening on second innings, they have scored 132 for lose of 3 wickets.I think NZ will pick up 7 wickets of ENG on last day and seal thehe match.England have to babat very well if they want to avoid the lose.

It was a dramatic collapse by the Australian team. Of course, there was no way they could have put up a strong show, given what must have been going through their minds. Captain and vice captain stood down, and more disciplinary action coming their way. From 57/0 Australia collapsed to 107 all out. The result was never in doubt once they were set a target in excess of 400, but this collapse could have been avoided.

The drama continues for Australia, the political leaders calling the shots here by asking Smith to step down as captain which is unwarranted and they could not handle the pressure well as they collapsed in the end, it is a sport and with cameras zooming on to the players all the time they have to be careful while doing these activities with the ball.

This is one of the worst behaviours from a well-reputed cricket team in the world. Actually, cricket board should ban Australia for playing world cricket for some time so then next time no one will do this type of ball tampering. They openly accepted that it was a pre-planned scam so not just players but the whole team need to ban. SA played a good cricket to win the match finally.

England tried there level best but 1st innings low score made them lose this match by an innings and 49 runs. England got all out for 320 runs in 2nd innings. good bowling from New Zealand i thought rain will ruin this match but finally we got a result. Congrats New Zealand.

Not expected this kind of behaviours from number one team in world cricket. I think ICC will take some serious action on this issue in coming days.
