Cricket match prediction discussions

Still one series is left for Pakistan before the biggest event, the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Pakistan have a good bowling attack in fast bowling but sadly there is no focus on Sajid Khan and Noman Ali to see them on CT, they should play in green jersey. However, the main focus that Pakistan should make is on their batting line up. In the next Tri-Nation series that will be played before the CT, Pakistan must test each and every player. Gaddafi Stadium that is situated at Lahore is almost renovated and ready and maybe the Tri-Nation series between Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa games will be played in that stadium.

Yeh Pakistan still have the only opportunity to get back his player main (like baber) in form at their home ground condition for upcoming big icc tournament (champions trophy). Sajid and Noman are no doubt doing ordinary at spin track in recent test match, and can be considered in champions trophy squad. but according to tournament schedule most of Pakistan matches are out of Multan stadium where top priority goes to face trio as it's suitable for condition so that's why they move in with thier main pacers but with single spin Abrar. Hope so such last opportunity will make things easy for Pakistan. Anyway from some sources Rizwan demand to open with fakhar in champions trophy to filled saim gap which I believe is vital step for good start.

In general, the associate teams have performed well in the ongoing ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup 2025. The best result for them was obviously the upset win by Nigeria against New Zealand. This enabled them to qualify for the super-6 stage as well. The other associate team which did well was the United States. They had a big win against full member Ireland, while performing strongly in other matches. Another team that impressed everyone is Scotland, who had a few close matches against full member nations.

This is very good news but due to Pakistan's weakness in this they cannot will win this champion.  In this series, Pakistan will have to play well and win the series, which will strengthen their playing style and give them a lot of advantage in this champion trophy.  They are more expected to play well and maintain Pakistan win.  They will have difficulty in batting which may also weaken their run-rate, so they should work hard.  In this too, Pakistan has to play well no matter what kind of match and series it is, every team should play the match due to their hard work and good effort.  It will be a missed opportunity and I don't expect anything like that from Pakistan. I have no hope apart from these two players of Pakistan.

Pakistani International ODI cricket team will play next match against New Zealand International team because Pak team is very low quality team which is playing very bad in last matches.  Pak  cricket have to make changes because otherwise this is not possible for that team to win this series. Pak team batting is low quality of the World and I think Afghanistan International cricket is much much better than Pak cricket team and in Champions trophy Afghanistan will play much better and could qualify for the semi final. I am watching no good future of Pak team . Pak new Zealand stats is the side of Pak team because Pak team was brilliant in the past but Now Pak team has lost the reputation on International level.

England played a fantastic match of T20 tournament in 3rd game and won with some excellent runs for I would say that England showed great skill and determination on the field securing a well deserved victory same time I feel sad for England team to lost two games previously don't worry 2 more games left hope their team will show same performance and win tournament. England won by 26 runs. England playing amazing with 171 runs looking at their match. The best match playing by Varun Chakravarthy. India I hope they will play better in the next match. England set a total runs for 171 and won the match. The 3rd match between India and England was played at Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium. India won the toss and elected to bowling first. The best batting performance in the England man team was by Ben Duckett  scored 51 runs and 28 balls hitting 7 fours and 2 sixs. Varun Chakravarthy also played exceptionally well and delivered he his best performance. Congratulations to England for their upcoming matches.

Associate teams have done very well in ICC Women U19 T20 World Cup 2025 winning some surprising matches and playing very strongly. Nigeria amazing win over New Zealand was best part because it helped them get to super 6 stage. United States also did great job beating Ireland showing that they have good skills even against strong team. At the same time Scotland has been another associate team that has played very well making it hard for stronger teams to beat them in several close matches. These good performances show that associate teams are getting better and have more talented players in women cricket.

African teams in general has progressed a lot in recent years. This time it was Nigeria, and during the last edition (2023 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup), it was the turn of Rwanda. If you remember, they successfully managed to advance to the Super 6 stage, and even there they managed to win against West Indies. Another thing that you may notice for the African teams is that they are comprised mostly of native players, as opposed to the vast majority of the GCC, European and Latin American teams.

Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav were expected to better. On the other hand, Tilak Varma's performance in the 2nd match was not good in the 3rd match. India had a major batting disaster in the 3rd ODI. But I expected a competitive series. As such, England was expected to win and that is what happened. I will be very optimistic about England's victory in the next match as well. If England can win the 4th match, then the series will be level and there will be a lot of excitement about the last match. Winning against India at home will certainly not be easy, but we can expect a competitive match.

Samson once again proved that he is not reliable. This guy has been given infinite number of chances and always waste them. And if he gets dropped, then his fans go ballistic and hurl all sort of abuses at the selectors. Suryakumar Yadav is already 34 years old. If he can't perform consistently, then the selectors should replace him with someone younger. Why talented players such as Venkatesh Iyer, Rajat Patidar and Ruturaj Gaikwad are not considered for selection in the Indian team? Why the selectors are biased against them?

Yes, on and off we see some good performances from these small Associate teams and they manage to reach the Super Sixes too but when it comes to the Semi finals, we only find the top best teams that include India, Australia, South Africa and England Women. There are no surprise entries here and only the best teams have moved into the final stage of this World Cup.

I think these associate teams need to play more matches among themselves. We usually see them at the World Cups and they are nowhere to be found playing throughout the year.

Well.. how many times do we see lower ranked test nations such as Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Sri Lanka in the semi-finals of ICC tournaments? Obviously you can't compare Nigeria with Australia, but in my opinion the gap between Nigeria and Zimbabwe is not that great. The only difference here is that Zimbabwe receives around $18 million in annual funds from the ICC, while Nigeria is lucky to receive around 0.5% of that amount for themselves. The inconsistency and asymmetry in funding needs to be removed first.

Srinivasan era bring too many problems in ICC and cricket which led negativity on quality of game with cricket is also on verge of lost charisma as well this game have good potential in few areas but due to ICC policies things are not working as they needed to be. Cricket needs good creative strategy which increase their revenue and also bring good level in funding which help associate countries as well but sadly currently no one working on this because they are doing things for their own wallets which are enough for them.

African region doing good work while things are also looking for improvement in few other regions but nothing positive happening now Jay Shah is having two years hopefully he will do something positive and game have good future.

As far as my knowledge goes, I have seen Kenya playing Semi Final of ODI world cup back in 2003 and it was manly because New Zealand didn't traveled to Kenya because of security reasons. Apart from that such associate teams have done few upsets but were not able to progress much further in ICC events. Zimbabwe is playing international cricket for around 4 decade or may be more and it's surprising to see that it's performance is still compared with teams like Nigeria. Between where is Kenya these days? It has also shown good performance in the past but now lost in the darkness because of biased ICC policies.

If you ask about Sri Lanka, their men's team has played and won the ICC World Cup tournament however I am not comparing Sri Lanka with these small associate teams.

Well, over the years I never heard much about the Nigerian team. Yes, we know about the Zimbabwe team as they have been playing cricket and ICC tournaments for a long time now but their progress isn't as good as it should be. Don't you think that they are not worth the annual funds that they receive annually, still not performing at all

Srinivasan era pushed cricket backwards by at least two decades. I am saying this, because when Jagmohan Dalmiya was the president of the International Cricket Council (ICC), he had a target to include cricket in Olympics by 2008. But when the Narayanaswami Srinivasan - Sharad Pawar mafia came to power (related to the UPA government coming to power in India by 2004), these plans were dumped and funding to associate nations got cut down. Now there is hope under Jay Shah, but let's see how it goes.

Kenya is the prime example of a talented team getting wasted due to politics. After their success in 2003, the ICC could have granted them additional funds and matches, but Srinivasan mafia made sure that the cricket in Kenya will die down.

Do we guys have a separate Champions throphy thread? If not, anyone looking to make one 

Well, here we have the most interesting match of the full cricket history, it is not just a match it is a rivarly this is the time of Pakistan vs India to face once again in CT. The match that make smile on one nation and make tears on one nation. The match for what every one is waiting for years to see just this game. I am pretty sure the stadium capacity will be less as crowd will enter in the stadium to see their favourite players while playing in front of them. Everyone is hoping for their own teams and who wins this match that will be played in UAE.

India vs Pakistan matches have lost their mojo. Nowadays, we have such matches multiple times per year, at national, women's and U-19 level. And this has negatively impacted the value of such matches, compared to 10-12 years ago when we used to have one match every 2-3 years. That said, even now matches between India and Pakistan will attract huge crowds and advertising interest. And in Champions Trophy, this particular match is going to be the cash cow for the ICC.

African continent which has been called dark continent as well but now doing impressive work for the development of sports in last few years firstly soccer and now cricket is spreading which is good sign for this region and game as well. South Africa is only competitive side with Zimbabwe and Kenya both are gone down but Namibia, Nigeria and Uganda making their way which surely give good boost even it's not easy and time consumed but still things are going good.

Sadly ICC never work as they needed for the development of game, but few countries are had good courage to improve quality of game and have their name I am surely after Asia Africa could be increase number of quality teams in cricket recently African associate country's event was also held which is good success for game.

Some players in the Indian team are given more chances than others and I am quite confused as to why they do this. Samson is failing again and again and is being given chances. In today's match too, he was made to open and he came back with just 1 run. Although India won today's match, if the team had lost, there would have been various comments about him. If any of the new players in the Indian team had been given a chance in his place, then there would have been a possibility of him scoring better in this match and a good player could have been found. But the selectors do not pay much attention to that. These things do not really reach them, which is why no solution is found.

Karun Nair had such an exceptional season with the Vijay Hazare Trophy this time, and he was not even considered for selection. Samson scores a century once every blue moon, and he gets showered with opportunities. But the same luxury is not being extended to talented players such as Nair, Abhimanyu Easwaran or Rajat Patidar. The Indian team selection remains very much non-transparent, with very little accountability. Anyway, at least Samson should be thrown out of the team after four consecutive failures.

[Haunebu]

Someone will probably create one pretty soon and it would end up being a thread with a couple of pages since the tournament is pretty short and will finish in just a couple of weeks.

He is such an overrated player. The dude only performs well in the IPL and is a flopshow on the international stage. As you stated, other players like Nair deserve his spot.
