Cricket match prediction discussions

[noormcs5]

In India, cricket is far ahead of all the other sports in terms of popularity.

No doubt cricket is the biggest Industry in India and no other sports match the popularity of cricket in India.

Recently in the Asia Cup, we have had a lot of rain affected matches, the results of which are decided through the DLS System. Most of us do not know how this DLS method works and more importantly how the calculations are made in this method.

The below article explains all and is worth reading.

How the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method works

My opinion is the Srilanka had used the DRS for the win.The Pakistan had failed to win the easy game by allow the Srilanka to score the run and specially that last four runs.The sponsor for the cricket in India was huge compared to the other sports in India.The football team in India was also good,but the players not getting sponsor like cricket.Even the Saudi Arabia Club not take any Indian players for the game at very low cost.Back to Cricket,the rain plays huge role in two different matches.The first one is India vs Pakistan match,which allow the Indian cricket team to play one day match in two days.Secondly we all know the match of Srilanka vs Pakistan had end with DRS.Both the time,Pakistan suffered the pain.

It was a match reduced to 42 overs due to rain and the target set by Pakistan was adjusted by a run by DLS method and not DRS (review system) . The boundary in the last over was a lucky edge and nothing could be done to prevent that other than moving the slip position.

The first one is India vs Pakistan match,which allow the Indian cricket team to play one day match in two days.Secondly we all know the match of Srilanka vs Pakistan had end with DRS.Both the time,Pakistan suffered the pain.

Pakistan performed poorly in those matches and hence they lost the match granted that in the match against Sri Lanka their main bowlers were injured during the India match and it is time the players need to take care of their fitness to play the ODI.

I see that this thread would be quiet for long time and there is no discussion about matches or other topics related to cricket. The last post on this thread was posted on 16 Sep. Let's active this thread and start discussion about matches 

England vs Ireland

Second ODI match between England and Ireland lived. Ireland won toss and decide to bowling first. England batting performance has been commendable. England played 30 over and scored 194 runs while losing 3 wicket. Ireland seems to be difficult situation because bowling performance not good. If England continues this performance they successfully set a target of 300 or more runs.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh

Second ODI match between New Zealand and Bangladesh has started first match draw due to rain. In this match, New Zealand performed quite well and set a target of 254 runs in 49.2 over and whole team out. New Zealand batting innings are over and now it is Bangladesh turn to take the field. In the first match Bangladesh had a strong bowling performance and it will be interesting to see how their batting lineup performs in this match.
Can Bangladesh successfully chase down the target of 254 run or not?

Rain is creating a lot of issues at the cricket tournament in 2022 Asian Games. Three of the Quarter-final matches were washed out, and as a result India, Bangladesh and Pakistan gained direct entry to the semi-finals. The semi-finals are between India and Bangladesh, and between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Indonesia and Hong Kong were supposed to play in QF stage, but then rain destroyed their chances. Malaysia also had their match abandoned against India. Men's tournament will start by 27th September (Group phase).

England played 30 over and scored 194 runs while losing 3 wicket. Ireland seems to be difficult situation because bowling performance not good. If England continues this performance they successfully set a target of 300 or more runs.

Ireland right now need 73 runs in 37 balls. There is 27 runs last wicket partnership going on. Chances of Ireland winning this game are very rear but they are doing good by giving a good fight. England scored 334 runs in 50 overs and Ireland in replay are not giving a good fight by scoring 262 runs and still one wicket in hand. Ireland cricket is improving day by day and soon they can get regular test status.

[3kpk3]

Can Bangladesh successfully chase down the target of 254 run or not?

Nope. They ended up losing by almost 100 runs thanks to bad performances as usual by many of their batsmen. Their bowling definitely improved, but their batting keeps getting worse and worse with time.

They probably will crash out early from the upcoming ODI World Cup in my opinion.

Within less than three months, we will get to know whether cricket will be included for the 2028 Olympics or not. IOC members will vote during the meeting in Mumbai, which is scheduled for 15th October, to decide on the different sports disciplines that need to be included. Apart from cricket, other sports that are being considered includes: breakdancing, flag football, motorsport, lacrosse, squash, karate and baseball-softball. BTW, India is bidding to host the Olympics in 2036, and there is a good chance that cricket maybe included if they wins the bid.

If cricket is included in Olympics then the popularity of cricket will go to another level. For a long time, a question has been coming to our mind that even though all sports are in Olympics, why not cricket. Why Cricket World Cup is held with only 10 teams while Football World Cup is held with more than 30 countries. If some countries including India and England try as well as if ICC gives support then definitely cricket will be included in Olympics. Cricket is very popular in Asia but football as a whole is very popular.
When cricket is added to the Olympics, many European countries will participate in the Olympics with their own teams, so for the sake of cricket, cricket must be added to the Olympics.

India is growing economy and they very recently made it top 5 economies of the world. There is strong chance that India may get rights to host 2036 Olympics as no one in south Asia has hosted this mega event till date. As far as cricket is concerned, it must have made its way to Olympics by now. ICC is not much interested in inclusion of cricket in Olympics that's why cricket is not seen in Olympics till date. If India win 2036 bid to host Olympic then there are chances for cricket to be part of olympic.

I am not sure whether it will have any impact on the popularity of cricket. The ICC was suggesting a 5-team competition for the Olympic cricket tournament, to be played by the top-5 teams as per the ICC T20I rankings. There will be no qualifier tournament and I am sure that the IOC will not agree to such insane demands. More popular sports bodies such as FIFA and FIH allow their teams to participate in the Olympics as per the Olympic rules. Cricket administration is making unfair demands, perhaps in order to get their bid rejected by the IOC.

ICC for the longest period was not interested in applying for a spot in the Olympics, if they submitted any proposals then they wanted to have some sort of representation, if not they will not bother sending an application to get rejected to begin with as it does not make any sense. In Asian Games, Cricket is included recently but only Women's team is participating as far as i understand.

As far as Asian Games is concerned, cricket was first included back in 2010. But then the BCCI as well as the PCB was vehemently opposed to its inclusion, and refused to send the teams. The same happened in 2014 as well. India is sending their cricket team for the first time in 2014. Even when cricket was included for the first time in Commonwealth Games (1998), there was a lot of opposition from the ICC. In the end, the ICC managed to reduce the competition to women's only, and that too for just 8 nations.

We want new team in cricket and that team will be competitive, but the popularity of cricket is increasing day by day, different countries including Canada, Saudi Arabia and America are now very interested in cricket, so if new teams are given a chance then cricket will become a popular game like football. 

In cricket every year we see 10 to 12 countries participate in world cup tournament or other tournaments and if a child is asked, that child will easily name 10 to 12 teams because those teams are known to everyone and out of those teams which team is there. Kinds can't represent in big tournaments. If ICC takes action then surely new teams will join the cricket and they will do well, now only one step is left.

First of all, the ICC is least bothered about the expansion of the game. Once Jagmohan Dalmiya was replaced with N Srinivasan-Sharad Pawar mafia at the BCCI/ICC, they have actually tried to kill cricket in associate nations. But that said, I don't agree with your list. Cricket is not that popular in Canada, USA and Saudi Arabia. There are hardly any natives playing the sport and it is mostly played by expats. On the other hand, there are associate nations where the locals are interested in playing cricket. Examples are Nepal, Maldives, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

@Sithara007 I feel that they’re trying to sell cricket in USA because the 2024 T20 World Cup is being held in USA and this shows that they want to popularise cricket among the locals. Furthermore I’m not sure if USA wants to participate in big ICC tournaments but them hosting the World Cup shows that they’re keen to play with the big countries but I’m kinda surprised too as I thought that there were less to none cricket fans in USA.

Yes, Ireland team has shown significant improvement in ongoing ODI series against England team. In the previous series between England and Ireland , Ireland performance was quite poor but in this ODI they have improve many mistakes especially in batting lineup. First match suspended due to rain but in second match, England set a tough target. Despite England's already has a strong team Ireland has been working on correcting their mistakes and improving their weak points. The next and final match of this ODI series is played on 26 Sep and hoped that Ireland will show an even better performance than the previous match and secure a victory.

Lol. Do you know how many Indians live in the US currently? I think 25% of India's population resides in the US itself. Many of them are cricket fans. If you include citizens from other cricket loving countries, you get the point basically.

This is why it makes complete sense as to why the USA is interested in the beautiful game of cricket.

Out of the total population of 332 million, Indian-Americans are around 1.3% (4 million). There are a few million from other ethnic groups that play cricket, such as Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalis, Lankans, Australians, South Africans and West Indians. But overall, not more than 2-3% of the US population knows to play cricket. And the focus of ICC has been this expat population rather than the natives. However, cricket is on the decline among Indians and other South Asians. US-born children mostly prefer basketball or baseball. And so far the ICC has failed to spread cricket among the local population.

The next and final match of this ODI series is played on 26 Sep and hoped that Ireland will show an even better performance than the previous match and secure a victory.

In the match between England and Ireland, Ireland improved quite a bit but could not save wickets. The fall of wickets was high which ultimately led to an all out and departure from the field. If Ireland could have kept their wickets in this match, it would have been a competitive match in the end. Because I can see that England is a strong team compared to England Ireland is not strong so it is natural that Ireland has a weakness in these matches. The bowling line of England team is weak and has pace which is ready to counter the Ireland team. If the Tucker players of the Ireland team could have collected something, we could have seen a competitive match here.
