Cricket match prediction discussions

[hafiztalha]

The first match of the semi-final will be between Afghanistan vs South Africa and the other between India vs England. But considering the way the Indian team is performing, India is definitely a strong team, so if Indian batsmen play responsible batting, they will have a chance to win against England. India's batting line-up is very strong, of course if India's batsmen try their best, they will win against England by a big margin and secure a direct final with a win. With the way England are playing, it is expected that they will be able to put up a competitive performance against India, because England is not a strong batting side. How well can Indian batsmen perform in the end?  The ODI World Cup could not be won on their own soil, but to forget that failure, Indian players will try their best to win the T20 World Cup.

South Africa will play their third semi final in t20 world  cup history while its first semi final achievement for Afghanistan team. South Africa has played two semi final before and both of them lost south Africa played first semi final in 2009 against Pakistan and they played their second semi final against india in 2014 and they lost both tomorrow match will be more interesting because both team did not play final in t20 world cup history One of these two teams will make it to the final and lets see who is that team. Afghanistan will also play his first semi final in world cup history and i think Afghanistan could win match if they batting first and gave target of around about 150 then it will be very difficult task for team south Africa to chase against quality bowlers south Africa choke in every knocked out match so pressure will be on south Africa team

2 nd semi final game was delayed because of rain and wet pitch and this is 2 nd time this game was delayed and I think that this game will be abandoned with no result if this happen India team easily qualify for in final game because their points are also their runs rate and no lose any game in past. But in 1 st semi final game south Africa vs Afghanistan team, Afghanistan team did not give any tough time to South Africa team and their batsman did not fully supported their team and did not grab good runs and set as target. Entire team was dismissed and total 56 target was set to South Africa team and South Africa easily completed this target and won game. R.Hendrinks and A.Markram both Batsman completed this target and only one wicket was lose de kock and win game in 8.5 overs. Congratulations South Africa team to win this game and hope in final game their team will perform good.

2 nd semi final game was delayed because of rain and wet pitch and this is 2 nd time this game was delayed and I think that this game will be abandoned with no result if this happen India team easily qualify for in final game because their points are also their runs rate and no lose any game in past.

Maybe based on all those equations India will not go to the final as the field game has already started. Had today's match been abandoned due to rain, India might have gone straight to the finals due to their net run rate and unbeaten streak. It was no longer raining but the game started and Indians were batting first. India team collected 132 runs for four wickets in 17 overs. I think India scored less runs as it is a semi-final match England team can definitely overcome.

But in 1 st semi final game south Africa vs Afghanistan team, Afghanistan team did not give any tough time to South Africa team and their batsman did not fully supported their team and did not grab good runs and set as target. Entire team was dismissed and total 56 target was set to South Africa team and South Africa easily completed this target and won game. R.Hendrinks and A.Markram both Batsman completed this target and only one wicket was lose de kock and win game in 8.5 overs. Congratulations South Africa team to win this game and hope in final game their team will perform good.

The first semi-final match was not enjoyable at all as the match was completely one-sided. Afghanistan team did not perform as expected against South Africa. South Africa bowling were able to contain the Afghanistan batsmen well enough to bowl them out for just 56 runs. African batsmen overcame the target set by Afghanistan with ease and reached the port of victory. The South African team may have reached the final of the World Cup for the first time. Maybe this time the "chokers" who stick with them will break.

Congratulations South Africa team for big win and showed such a beautiful performance in game and still not lose any match in start of this tournament. South Africa was playing this match  with amazing effort. Afghanistan played well in the previous match but this time they played very poorly. Afghanistan needs a lot of hard work and good luck for next tournament.South Africa is now playing well and gradually improving their team. This time, they proved themselves by playing a good match. South African won this easy match by 9 wickets and 67 balls. Marco Jansen is a very talented player from  Afghanistan  team. The 1st semi final match between South African man and Afghanistan man was held at country brain Lara stadium. Afghanistan won the toss and elected batting first. South African chased down all target and made 60 runs and won the match. Afghanistan team made 56 runs record and faced lose. I hope Afghanistan they will play better in the next match. The best batting performance in South African man team was by Reeza Hendricks scored 29 runs and 25 balls hitting  3 fours and 1 sixs. 

[Unknown Op]

I agree with you India team like England like Netherlands but many times cricket is a game of uncertainty its really hard to say which team will win the team which performs better on the field will win. But today, Afghanistan lost very badly against South Africa and got knocked out of the final game. However, South Africa has confirmed as the first final team. South Africa could not play the semi-finals seven times in a row. This time they will fulfill seven sense of the final game, but if the opponent is India, then it will be very difficult for South Africa to become the champion. Because India is undoubtedly a strong team, their batting line is very strong, the team has players like King Virat Kohli and batsmen like Rohit Sharma, of course they deserve to be champions if they bat responsibly. But in today's match, King Virat Kohli can't perform so well, he got run out and let's see how many runs India can give to England.

What a great match was finished yesterday and unbelievable performance was displayed by Indian sqaud in bowling inning and their inning shocked all cricket lovers and Congrats sqaud Indian to reach on final match with great victory and with massive scores. First I feel that England will simply achieve the Defeating target of Indian squad after completing first bat Inning. Indian sqaud has been managed to collect total 171 scores as a Defeating target after playing all overs with lost of 7 wickets. In start of 8 overs, Indian squad performance in bat Inning was going very bad and they lost their main batter wickets like Pant and Kohli but after wiping out  these wickets Rohit Sharma and Yadav both supported their sqaud and made strong batting partnership with collecting high scores. But on other side, England squad was unable to complete Defeating target and lost this match and this time Jos Buttler, Harry Brook and other strong batter did not play good and did not collect good scorrs for their sqaud. Due to impressive bowling inning performance of Indian squad, India qualify for Final match and in final match both unbeaten squad will faced each other.

Afghanistan batting lineup collapse in semi final as we know Afghanistan team could not win the World Cup and they have no capability to reach in final but we saw change in Afghan cricket and I knew that South African team will win this match but I didn't expect that kind of low score match and I thought Afghanistan team will give 110 puls runs target and South African team will chase the target in 15 overs. But I was wrong and South African  bowlers bowled very well and they did bowling wicket to wicket and they chased the target easily. Now , South African team will play final against India and I think India is favorite in this World Cup and we will see low competition in final match . if England team play final against India , England team could be more dangerous than south Africa against India.

Every time I watch this match I get disappointed because I didn't have this hope for Afghanistan perform in this match.  When the match was thought this perform of South Africa could be.  But the South African bowler has bowled like this.  Even the Afghanistan team cannot do such bowling.  That's why South is currently playing the final and Afghanistan is out.  Afghanistan batsmen target was very low, if even 100 their bowlers had to work hard and struggle to stop runs and take wickets.  But luck and the batsmen did not favor their bowler and they would lose the match.  Yes, those who know Afghanistan's performance had high hopes, but when wickets were falling, everyone's hopes were coming down.  If Afghanistan were in the final today, I can say with full hope that Afghanistan would have won this year's final.

Afghanistan had beaten Bangladesh in a tough tie to reach the semi-finals but there was no way we could accept losing to South Africa like that. But if Afghanistan had faced such a match in the final, maybe Afghanistan would not have been defeated like South Africa was defeated. South Africa's middle order batsmen should all be blamed for losing this match especially David Miller despite being an experienced player. I couldn't imagine that all these aggressive popular players would perform so badly at the end. 30 runs needed from 30 balls. At this moment, if Henry Klaasen is out, this match is lost by 7 runs. South Africa will never get such a chance. South Africa became known as an unlucky team.

When Afghanistan came into the Super 8s, then their first match was played with the Indian team and they lost it. It was the second match of Afghanistan that they lost however their next match was with Australia and on that time, we had a thought that once again we will see that one Maxwell innings but unfortunately, he was out early and the Australian team lost the match and has been out from the World Cup too.

Later in this match, they defeat to Bangladesh and made their place through the Semi Finals but they have done not too good performance in the Semi-Final and they lost it which caused South African team to go to the final match for the first time but the SA lost the finals.

Whether you support India for cricket or not is entirely up to you but if you are a cricket lover then Virat Kohli's announcement of retirement from the T20 format must have left you feeling a little sad. Virat Kohli is the best player I have ever seen in all three formats. I have seen many players who started well for many teams played for a few days and then disappeared from the team but I have never seen a player like Virat Kohli who has performed so well in all three formats simultaneously format wise. Will definitely miss Virat Kohli in international t20 cricket.  Virat Kohli's match-winning performance in his last t20 match of the World Cup will surely be remembered by cricket lovers for a long time. Thank you legend for finishing such a beautiful cricket career with the bat like an artist.

After giving a very amazing performance against New Zealand in the group matches, finally they had a match with Papua New Guinea and the whole nation had idea what will happen here for sure, Afghanistan will win this match and they won it very clearly and easily too.

Until that time, their performance was very good, especially in bowling. They don’t allow their opponent to reach at least 100.
After that match, they played their match against the West Indies team but that match West Indies won it very easily and that match was one-sided for West Indies too, but the Afghanistan team qualified for the Super 8s and you have summarized already about the Super 8s matches which involved Afghanistan.

Disney Star seems to have hit the jackpot with the recent T20I World Cup. According to media, they got revenues of up to 15 billion INR (around $200 million), spread across digital and linear TV platforms. And this is despite the fact that a number of matches got washed out, and several others were interrupted by rain. Now compare this to the advertisement revenues from the 2023 ODI World Cup. That tournament brought in 33 billion INR in ad revenues ($400 million), but then the matches were 50-overs per side.

I agree with you as we have Sunil Gavaskar then Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli who rule the world of cricket with their performance and achievements, and we are proud to be watch Virat Kohli who is without any doubt one of the best in cricket world due to his superior quality and amazing performance in his last performance for the India in T20i he proves he is surely match winner and one of the best player in all formats.

Now most chances he will also announce retirement from the ODI as well and then play only test and IPL for few more years because this will give him good rest and time for having his best in these formats which he can play due to his quality and consistency now India need to be had new blood for the future which could be more bright as things are going well organized for them.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

It was not uncommon for Afghanistan to win against Bangladesh. Because the recent performance of Bangladesh is very bad. But sadly, Bangladesh's loss saw Afghanistan advance to the semi-finals, while five-time winners Australia were eliminated from the semi-finals. And South Africa is already a devastating team. All of the world's greatest run records are at home in South Africa and Australia. And with that devastating South Africa, it was only natural that Afghanistan would lose. But it's really sad how South Africa could not score 30 runs in 30 balls and lose by 7 runs when a star player like David Miller is on the field.

Virat Kohli is truly a great player especially he is a respected batsman by people all over the world. I don't know if Virat Kohli's retirement will hurt anyone's mind but when the time comes he will have to leave that place because the next generation is waiting for that place. Perhaps the time has come for Virat Kohli and he has to leave that place to the next generation. Not only Virat Kohli of the Indian team, after winning the T20 World Cup, Indian captain Rohit Sharma also announced his retirement from T20 cricket. As these two batsmen were the most experienced and the best and wisest players of the Indian team. By winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, India tasted victory in the T20 World Cup for the second time, having previously won the T20 World Cup in 2007. Just as Sachin Tendulkar's name is written in golden letters in Indian cricket history, Virat Kohli's name will also be written as a legendary player.

I am also big fan of Virat Kohli. He is legendary player and he is one of the greatest player in this era . But I think he did well and he gave retirement at perfect time and with time his performance will be go down. So ,he decided to retire with respect, he is match winner player and India won due to only Virat Kohli. In last World Cup , we saw India made 240 runs against Australia but Australia won the World cup against India easily. In last match Virat Kohli played like match winner after the low performance because he was not in form batsman and he did for the team.Bumrah is also top player and he saved 20 puls runs because SA team needed 30 runs out of 30 balls but after that Bumrah and Arshdeep changed the match and took important wicket and I last overs Pandeya took wicket of David Miller and at that time India won the match.

You are right that it doesn't matter which team you support and whether you support or not the cricket team of India but it felt sorrowful to almost all the cricket lovers for the leaving T20 cricket of Virat Kohli. Cricket lovers will miss a lot while T20 cricket will be held and India will have participated.

No doubt Virat Kohli was a legend player and India will miss him for long time. Although many people were happy about the Indian win but some also had a sad feeling, knowing that Virat is retiring from the T20.



The last ball, from that ball in which Virat Kohli was out, he hit a six on the leg side and directed it for the six on the leg side. On the leg mid-off, which was such a long shot and on the next ball, Virat Kohli tried to the same but this time his bat middle touch was not good and ball went down early which caused the ball to into the near fielder's hand and he caught it up that caused Virat Kohli lost his wicket. That wicket was the very important wicket South African team and after that wicket, the game was somewhat balanced.

Those who love cricket will definitely love Virat Kohli as a batsman irrespective of the team. He is a true legend and legendary player. Virat Kohli's retirement was truly a great time as his team won the World Cup even as he ended his T20 cricket career. We have seen several other legendary players retire from T20 in this World Cup they are Virat Kohli Rohit Sharma New Zealand's Kane Williamson. Bangladesh team Shakib Al Hasan Mahmudullah Riyad and some others. Virat Kohli's retirement will really sadden the hearts of cricket lovers especially when the Indian team participates in the next T20 World Cup where they will feel Virat Kohli's absence the most. I think a king's farewell is like a king's.

I agree with you as we have Sunil Gavaskar then Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli who rule the world of cricket with their performance and achievements, and we are proud to be watch Virat Kohli who is without any doubt one of the best in cricket world due to his superior quality and amazing performance in his last performance for the India in T20i he proves he is surely match winner and one of the best player in all formats.

Now most chances he will also announce retirement from the ODI as well and then play only test and IPL for few more years because this will give him good rest and time for having his best in these formats which he can play due to his quality and consistency now India need to be had new blood for the future which could be more bright as things are going well organized for them.

At a stage of career every player has to decide to retire, I know this decision is difficult for every player but if the old ones don't leave their place then how will the new ones take that place. Virat Kohli would have retired but I never imagined his retirement to be so colourful. Virat Kohli has come to the end of his career with his batting contribution to win the World Cup and after winning the World Cup he decided to retire. There are very few cricketers who have been able to end their career in such a beautiful way as Virat Kohli decided to retire. If Virat Kohli leaves his place, Indian team might get a batsman like him or better but very few cricketers can do what Virat Kohli has done in the world of cricket.

Cricket.com recently published the list of top associates:

https://www.cricket.com/news/who-ranks-where-in-cricketcoms-associates-power-rankings-5302024-1717070200224

Broadly, I agree with them. However, I don't think that Scotland ranks much below Namibia or Nepal. Netherlands when they are in full-strength maybe better than Scotland. But Nepal and Namibia are definitely weaker than them. The remaining 5 members are nowhere near the top-4. There is a big gap between the top-4 and the rest. That said, USA had a splendid time during the recently concluded T20 World Cup.
