Cricket match prediction discussions

After the big 3 vs small 7 battle, now we have infighting among the associates to contend with. Check this article:

https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/109042/hints-of-a-power-shift-in-associate-politics-at-icc-meeting

Representative of the Netherlands was voted out during the ICC meeting, after the smaller countries such as Vanuatu organized themselves to get a better share of the ICC revenues. Not a very good sign, IMO. ICC can't give all the associates equal funding. Better performing teams such as the Netherlands and Scotland deserve greater funding when compared to smaller teams which field squads entirely comprised of expats.

Anyone watched the Ind vs Ban one day Asia Cup U19 today ?  

India just pulled a match and cup out of the hands of the Bangladesh. Bangladesh bowled really well to restrict India at 106 But unfortunately  they could not bat well and they fail to chase this small title.

[UmerIdrees]

The Pakistan leader is a legendary player who took the team to the 1992 world cup and won the tournament and he will do anything in his power to bring cricket back to the country, but if there is serious threat from terrorist factions first they have to weed out every terror organisation in their country. If the series is changed they will be moved to UAE which is Pakistan's neutral ground for a long time.

This is big problem for Pakistan as Intelligence Agencies and Security Department completely fail to stop these type attacks as they have many insiders also those who helping attackers and Government of Pakistan doing some very strict things but until now they have no good and positive response about this as Pakistan's neighbors also never been want this country become stable so facing too many problems but we are still very hopeful and positive for good time in near future.

For both of you and all others who think Pakistani are terrorists and therefore countries fear to come here are totally wrong. Although there are unfortunate incidents happen in the past like attack on Srilankan team but that is past and the country has come a long way.

Yeah.. in India the match was live on Star Sports 1 and I watched the second innings. It was a very exciting match, and could have been good for the game if Bangladesh could win the trophy. They just needed 107 to win, but fell short by 5 runs. This is the problem with these inexperienced teams. Even if they have very good chance of winning, they throw away their chances.

Well both of the teams had their chances and India bowlers really bowled well to get Bangladesh all out at 101. Seeing India U19 cricket team bowling performance and commitment, you can say that Indian future of cricket is very bright.

On the other hand, INDIA is the biggest terrorists as they are killing innocent people in the Kashmir and the world is silent on their shameless act.

I don't understand what you gain by mixing politics and sports. This is a sports discussion board and it is best to stick to that. No country is perfect(India, Pakistan etc) and it is best to discuss the political stuff in the politics board.

It makes sense why countries like India and Sri Lanka are dropping the Pakistan tours since they wish to ensure the safety of their players. Player safety is the primary priority of any team basically.

Surprising... I didn't found any of the Indian bowlers that threatening. Even the guy who rocked the Bangladesh top order (Akash Singh) looked ordinary for me. Atharva Ankolekar picked out 5 wickets, but I couldn't find much variety in his bowling. Perhaps I am comparing the current U-19 team with the one we had two years back. Back then, India had two world class pacers - Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi.

Ok i have omitted that line from my post (Sportsmanship  )  but you only pointed out this line (& snip the rest of my post) and try to confuse the people that i am mixing sports with politics.

The fact is that the couple of posts above were discussing that Pakistan is a terrorist nation and that's why the international cricket do not return to this place which is not correct and i also pointed out who is the real terrorist in the present world.

Now i hope that you will understand this and do not try to misunderstand the post.

Bhai smoking weed again.....  

You might want to reread posts. Not a single person in the last 2 pages meant or used the word "Terrorist nation" together, let alone " Pakistan is a terrorist nation".

I am reading the stuff without smoking.
What do you understand when you read the below stuff. 

This is the best decision overall and I applaud Malinga for helping make this decision. The Pakistan government have been advised multiple times by countries from around the world to minimize these terrorist issues, but I still don't see much of a difference.
Unless their government itself does something about this, teams will always have issues with touring Pakistan.

There must be a reason of why players do not want to visit and play in that country ? Also this is not a decision of a single country but all the countries have together decided this. There must be some issues which only the local people can tell better.

Visiting teams were attacked in Pakistan before, and this is in everyone's mind whenever the PCB requests foreign teams to play their matches in Karachi or Lahore, instead of the usual home grounds (Sharjah, Dubai.etc). A balance needs to be reached between the two aspects. PCB is in bad financial situation due to their inability to host international matches. At the same time, the foreign teams can't be forced to play their matches in Pakistan, unless there is a great deal of improvement in the security situation.

What do you mean by the teams were attacked in Pakistan ? When did that happen and how many teams were being attack ?
Do they had some causalities or injuries too?
But I think it could not happen because the visiting teams are usually given big security everywhere in the world.

That sad incident happen 10 years ago in 2009. If you are interested to know more about this you can find details here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_attack_on_the_Sri_Lanka_national_cricket_team

If this is true and if Sourav Ganguly can convince both countries political system then it would be a great series just like the Ashes, but the political system in both countries are screwed, now Pakistan is trying their best to attract other teams promising more security and i am sure the Pakistan political system might approve the match because the leader was a cricketing legend and he might want to see cricket in their country but convincing Indian leaders will be a hurdle because of their bloopers and challenges to common sense that will make everyone laugh  .

PS: i am not insulting anyone but telling what i saw in the media as there were more memes in social media about radar theory and the leader being a tea seller but was using internet and digital camera in the early 80s  .

I don't think Imran Khan would get convinced easily either due to the growing political tensions between both countries. Ganguly is trying to do something good here and I respect his initiative, but I don't think India will tour Pakistan or vica versa anytime soon(Might take years).

I honestly don't really think this is a huge deal since we get to see amazing matches between both these teams now and then through world tournaments(T-20 and 50 over World cup etc.

I agree big problem is in India because every time they are refusing to tour Pakistan and starting propaganda about Terrorism its all about they don't want PCB have some good revenue from this series and they become stable every time they run away so its still need years.

I agree. I include Sourav in one of the very few sane voices from both sides (India and Pakistan). Unlike players like Gautam Gambhir and Javed Miandad, he never promoted hate and always tried to keep both the countries closer to each other.
