Cricket match prediction discussions

[Sithara007]

Few add ons for context, India and rest of the sub-continent: $3,040 million ( 99% is for the Indian market) and also not sure if Rest of the world fetched $80 million but overall it's fair assumption.

The revenue sharing meeting is going to be really fun tho lol. Everyone would want a bigger pie so grab popcorn for drama. IMO now the situation is heading towards only BIG-1 model, instead of BIG-3.

Their meeting is scheduled for this Saturday, right?

Meanwhile, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has finalized their revenue distribution model without much dramatics. Share for Afghanistan has been increased from 6% of the revenues to 15%, and that means that 75% (15% each) of the revenue will go towards the five full members and the remaining 25% will go towards the associate members. For Afghanistan, the ICC funding is currently on hold, and this increased contribution from ACC may help them to honor the contracts with the players and the supporting staff.

india, Pakistan, Srilanka and Bangladesh will get 15% each and Afghanistan share has been increased to 15%. Rest 25% will got to associate teams. India is richest board in the world and still is getting equal to what Pakistan and Srilanka are getting. Its good to see Afghanistan getting more share since they are performing good in T20 format and this increase in funding will help them grow further.

A slight correction is needed in the Article.

On paper, BCCI does receive some percentage of the share but in reality, BCCI voluntarily gives up its share of revenue and never takes its share from the ACC fund.

LOL.. Is this true? Very difficult to believe that BCCI has become so generous towards the other boards. In case of Afghanistan, despite becoming a full member in 2017, they always received lower amount of funding compared to the other full members (during Asia Cups of 2018 and 2022). BTW, after Australia pulled out of the series against Afghanistan, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) organized a bilateral tour with Pakistan (to start by last week of March). It is still tricky how to deal with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, w.r.t sports.

Yup, it's true. heard this in a couple of podcasts from one reputed sports journalist, he happens to be very resourceful when following BCCI's money trail on everything like IPL, media rights deals etc.

Also, a few officials and Cricketers also said this on record a couple of times. IMO it's not generosity but they just don't care as it's not a big money and in return they earn some brownie points.

@JSRAW yet I find it hard to believe that BCCI actually gives up this money, because from what I studied about them is that they actually try to earn as much money as possible. @Sithara007 while Pakistan would be the obvious favourites in these series, yet I feel that Afghanistan can stun them and defeat them as they have improved a lot hence wagering small bets on Afghanistan victory does makes sense to me what do you think?

If that's correct then it's nice gesture from BCCI since there are boards that have so much potential for cricket but need financial assistance like Nepal. I was stunned to see presence of croward in last ODI played in Nepal between UAE and Nepal. Afghanistan is latest entry in international cricket from this region. Its time now to bring Nepal in international cricket.

There is going to be tough matches in upcoming series between Pakistan and Afghanistan as both of them are good teams . Specially Afghanistan they play so fearlessly and aggressively and make their game so interesting for their fans .
Pakistan on other hand is experimenting a totally new team under captaincy of shadab Khan , young boys of psl have been given a chance to prove themselves and make their way in Pakistani team in Asia Cup and world cup.

Even prediction has never been easy in any sports and if you are going to play T20i then surely it's more difficult while Pakistan facing some issues and now having withdraw their head coach Mohammad Yousuf due to personal issues; Pakistan also resting all their premier players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, Fakhar Zaman and Shaheen Shah; I feel like Afghanistan can win this series.

Shadab Khan is the good all-rounder and having good experience as captain but things still looking not easy for him in this series because most of the players are going to have started their career from this series after doing good in PSL8 but things could be never easy for anyone to win in this series because rivalry is also on after Pakistan give them many shocking defeats while they were on verge of win.

Their share was around $5-7 Million in the last Asia cup so like I said it's just pocket change for them but i understand they have a bad reputation so there is nothing wrong with such assumptions. BCCI can only blame itself for a bad PR despite being a cash cow for literally every cricketing board and subsidizing the majority of cricket all around the world. Asia cup funding is just one example. Most of the boards want to earn money, similar to BCCI. Latter is just too good in this circus and works ruthlessly.

Really feel for Nepali fans. ICC is not interested there at all but one would hope for at least some sort of support from the BCCI. For some weird reason and unfortunately, it's not even come into the discussion.

Nepal has suffered as a result of poor relations between the ICC and the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN). Their funding has been reduced by almost 90% from the pre-2015 levels, as the ICC has increased funding for teams such as United Arab Emirates and the United States of America, which are considered as "premium" markets. Nepal is a third world country, and the ICC believes that they money given to them will not make good returns. That said, all the millions poured in to the markets of USA and UAE has gone in to a black hole. Even now, I can't spot a single native player in these two teams and support levels for cricket remains low, outside the expat community.

If we relay on ICC then surely we will face things like these because they are not interested to improve quality of cricket in those regions which are not profitable for them, and they are increasing funding in markets which are profitable for them here we need to be good role of ACC as well because they are only best organization, and they also need to work on this which will help them for having better quality teams in this region as we already have 5 test playing nations and few are already improving things for better cricket.

So, here they also need good support from ACC as we have in different regions many organizations domestically working on their local system which is help them for improving quality and have better things for the future it's not alone ICC or BCCI here we also need strong character ACC as well.

While it never easy to predict the outcome of a sporting event it is important to remember that anything can happen on the day. While Pakistan may be facing some issues and are resting some of their top players they still have a talented and experienced team capable of doing well in T20I matches.
Afghanistan on the other hand, have been improving rapidly in recent years and have some of the best players in their squad.They will also face some challenges including playing in unfamiliar conditions and adapting to the different styles of their opponents. We can be sure that both Pakistan and Afghanistan have talented players and they will be ready to give their all in this series. The best team of the day will come out on top and it can be either way. So let's wait and watch the game and hope for an interesting match.

Afghanistan is quite a good team in T20 series. Their performance has impressed many in the cricket world but their main problem is lack of experience. Such a picture was revealed in the last Asia Cup. They might have gotten a better position if they had put that experience properly. The absence of Pakistan's senior player T20I series that will be positive for Afghanistan team which will be held tomorrow, Afghanistan will have a chance to win the series if they can implement their performance.

Yes I also think Afghanistan is a very strong team in T20 aspect. But due to some mistakes they perform very badly in certain matches. But tomorrow match between Pakistan and Afghanistan will be a great game.  All fans of Pakistan and Afghanistan are waiting to watch tomorrow's match.  Hopefully I will bet for Afghanistan in tomorrow's match and I will win the bet.

[impulse709]

1st match of the T20 series between Afghanistan and Pakistan is going to start tomorrow.  Afghanistan cricket team will be in the field as the favorite team.  Afghanistan play very well in T20 and they have a lot of reputation.  I have decided to bet for Afghanistan in tomorrow's match.  Hope Afghanistan is going to present something good to the cricket world in tomorrow's match.  On the other hand, it would be wrong to underestimate the Pakistan team.  Pakistan team also has many good players.  But again many players of Pakistan have changed.  Now when tomorrow's match starts, it will be understood which team can do well.  Hopefully tomorrow's match will be an exciting one

Looking forward to tomorrow match that is going to be exciting one as both teams Pakistan and Afghanistan is doing great in T20 format .
Afghanistan is my personal favourite as their game Is fearless and aggressive and that's is best for t20 format of cricket.
Pakistan team had lots of new faces in this series and they ate going to show themselves in this .

This particular tour was organized after Australia withdrew from their tour of Afghanistan, citing the Taliban takeover. Now it will be more difficult for the ACB to organize matches against the SENA nations. Hopefully tomorrow's match will once again cement the cricketing relations between these two nations, which were strained after the incidents during last year's Asia Cup. Afghanistan is playing international cricket again after a considerable gap. Their last match against a full member was the T20 match against Sri Lanka, back in November 2022.

I hope Afghanistan is going to be able to attract some eyes with the performance that they are going to do against Pakistan. Of course, they have been staying away from cricket against the bigger competition for quite a while now. I think just because they have been playing against weaker opponents, they have been playing some form of cricket and were not absolutely away from it. That is going to be a big thing for them going into the match against Pakistan. I still do not think that Pakistan is going to be the losing team. But I am still expecting a decent performance from Afghanistan.

These two countries have played against each other so often that both of them are aware of the weaknesses and strengths of the other team. The matches will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates, and this venue is also quite familiar for both the teams. Rashid Khan will be captaining the Afghans, while the Pakistan team will be captained by Shadab Khan. Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are not included in the squad and therefore this series represents a big opportunity for the younger players.
