Cricket match prediction discussions

Pakistan are in a strong position to win this test match however we have seen time and time again with Pakistan being in strong positions and then going on to either lose the test match or it comes a draw. I also still wouldn't count out a draw right now as all it takes is for New Zealand to get a strong partnership and bat all day on day 4 and get a lead which could see the match coming a draw. It will be interesting to see how well New Zealand bat and if Pakistan can repeat the same performance as in the 1st innings bowling.

Hmmm... they won the match. Conditions were quite favorable to Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates. However, if they want to win matches abroad, then their players need to work really hard (especially the pacers).

Bowling is never been problem for Pakistan its batting which every time hurt too much and bring this team down they need to do some hard work in batting and fielding both are not good enough to win matches but right now they done great job and as they completely destroy New Zealand batting line up for leveling series.

This would be great comeback by the Pakistan as winning this match has resulted int eh series being level up by 1-1. This would definitely build up their confidence high and with the latest Yasir picking up 8 wickets is the great sign and the emerging player who could pick the wickets quickly of opposition and change the whole match.

Yasir Shah literally made everything look "so easy" for Pakistan. He made a few bowling records too in this match:

Taking 14 wickets in a single test match is no joke, it's a magic!

To be honest I wasn't expecting Yasir Shah to come out and do what he did in the 1st innings but he did. Taking 14 wickets in a test match is a great achievement as we don't see this happen to often and not from a bowler playing for Pakistan. It brings back memories of the great Pakistan bowlers of the good old days when all batting line ups around the world were scared to face the Pakistan bowlers as they bowled so well and were difficult to play against. Congrats on Pakistan winning the second test which sets up the series nicely heading into the 3rd test match.

Ya it is true that the current situation of Pakistan players are like they are always loosing the match from winning situation. But hey always give surprise by winning the match with records. New Zealand loosing to Pakistan with this type of situation second time. Before also they got all out for very less rate like, they were 90 for 0 and then they are all out for 131. So both this team are unpredictable

anyhow congrats to Pakistan winning by an innings and Yasir Shah creating record.

We all know that NZ players are not so good at playing spin bowling and this bowler used his opportunity trap NZ batsman. For any bowlers it is a great achievement to pick up so many wickets in a single test match but whether he can bowl consistently the same in next match as well?

Pakistan performance is always not consistent so one shouldn't bet based on last match results. You need to think much before going for betting.

Actually if you see both team records then you will see that both teams are not believed on their latest performance as both team always gives surprise and throw their game from a good position. That is why when ever this type of teams use to play that time we have to be very alert on the price and be always both side profit on this matches.

T10 league is starting to look like a... success. It's definitely a very short format, but the franchises are working hard to make it as much attractive as possible. Today, Rajputs defeated Punjabi Legends, McCullum and Carlos Brathwaite did a wonderful job in piling up the runs.

India vs OZ XI practice test match have started and on Day 2 at present India who had won the toss are batting at 306/5. Other than Rahul everybody contributed to this team score and this would give them the confidence before the start of the test match with OZ.

Team India batsmans barring Rahul made good use of this match to get used to the pitch, and conditions that will face them ahead. While it's good to see their batsman score runs, they were able to post a low total of 358 runs which is not good considering the facts they're a stronger side. It's pertinent to note that their lower order crumbled very fast, which is not a good sign for them as lower order contributions do win you matches.

Yasir Shah might break Clarrie Grimmett's record soon:

Who's Grimmett?

Grimmett -- also a leg-spinner -- took his 200th wicket in his 36th Test against South Africa in 1936

Clarrie Grimmett has an eighty-two-year-old record... (quite an ancient record)

Everyone here going ballistic over Yasir Shah's performance. I am not taking anything away from his performance. But the problem for Pakistan is that their spinners perform poorly while playing in non-Asian grounds.

This problem is not only for Pakistan this happen to many other teams as well Indian batsmen done good job at home but they badly fail in England and South Africa so every home team start with advantages and visitors have many disadvantages its part of cricket for many decades.

I agree with you, almost all country are King in their home country and win but when it comes to play in other country ground, they always lose it. But the trend is changing now as their are so many local tournaments are going in all country which includes international players to participate and play which makes them experience in playing in all country ground. Which gives them benefit when they play for their country in their respective country where they have played local tournaments.

I thought India batted well to score 358 runs as the all got starts but no one went on to make a century which was a surprise for me. The SCG pitch is suited for India and the Adelaide oval is very similar which is where India will play in the 1st test match against Australia. Like I have been saying this is India's biggest chance to win a test series in Australia and starting off on a pitch where they play well on is a huge step for them winning the series as normally the 1st test match in Australia is played at the Gabba where India struggle so its going to be an interesting series as I would say its more in India's favour this time around.

2nd Test between Bangla vs WI have started and Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat. AT the end of days play they are in a strong position with 259/5. If they can reach anywhere 375+ will be a good score as they would be able to get WI out within 300 or less runs and will have have some lead in first inning to put pressure back on WI.

Right now they are at 428/8. Remember that Bangladesh had won the first test by 64 runs. This is the second test and as of now it looks like WI may not be able to win it. It may be either a victory for the BAN or a draw. That means that the test series is won by Bangladesh.

They are now at 457/8. Say if Bangladesh make around 500 and if can get WI all out in 300 or so and decide to bat again and make 200 with a lead of 200 which is 400 runs on bard in 4th inning chasing is difficult. So WI will be always under pressure from here it seems considering their only hope is that couple of batsman can make century which will only help them to draw the match.
