Cricket match prediction discussions

Isn't it unfair with the foreign players if there is a price fixing and discrimination between the local and foreign players. Remember it is the foreign players that bring success to IPL as we usually see no international matches for the whole 2 months when the PSL is in progress because players from every country participate in this tournament. Such actions by BCCI won't go unnoticed and may not get a good response from these talented foreign players.

What a load of crap. The IPL is primarily popular because of Indians(Not foreigners) : MSD, Kohli, Rohit etc. These new price changes should have happened long ago since Indians are the primary contributors in this league.

Any player with a half-decent brain wouldn't pull out of this insanely popular league thanks to financial and career opportunities. Think!

I am not denying that Indian players are important factors in the success of IPL but still do you think that foreign players aren't important in IPL?
Try to conduct one season of IPL without international foreign players and you will find the difference. The graph of popularity will decline steeply.
All I am saying is the auction should be equal for everyone with no discrimination of local or foreign players. Obviously, a better player should be sold at a higher price regardless of whether he is local or foreign.

No league is popular for local players. IPL is so popular because of the meeting of world-class cricketers in IPL. Countries whose players do not get a chance in IPL basically do not show much interest in IPL. I usually watch IPL games to watch many high-performance players from the world play. Especially the use of advanced graphics and advanced technology in IPL makes IPL more attractive. If you notice, you will see that foreign players perform well in IPL and local players learn to perform well by keeping up with them. IPL is called the meeting of world stars. So if there are no world stars in the meeting of world stars, then that tournament will definitely lose popularity.

Update on ICC Champions Trophy

So finally the Pakistan PCB accepted the ICC hybrid model for the Champion Trophy. This is a breaking news coming out today and finally all the doubt of the Champion Trophy are over finally. The main highlight of the deal is that India will play their matches in a different country. Also if India reaches the Semi Final and the final of this tournament, that will be also be played in another country. However, if India does not reach the finals, then the final will take place within Pakistan. Also the hosting rights will also remain with Pakistan. Seems like a good decision for everyone.

This was expected because PCB is weaker board, and they are having no friends in ICC even Afghanistan is also not with them after having not ended deadlock ICC threats PCB they will move all event to any other country, and they will be played without Pakistan so we have surrender by PCB.
Currently, ICC and BCCI are having same policy about Pakistan because IPL funds are working for them so for next one decade we have no chance for Pakistan to host any ICC or ACC event in Pakistan they have to give up and play cricket like they are doing right now until they are having anything positive.

Until now, we have no official statement from anyone but most chances we will be having hybrid system for Champions Trophy2025 because Indian government will never allow BCCI to tour Pakistan as this is going to be huge financial booster for the PCB which is never been acceptable for the Indian government.
Latest updates are clearly showing work is going on and all parties are talking through virtual meeting as currently PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi is in Dubai about this issue big boards are also with BCCI so here we have chance PCB will surrender and go through for alternative option.

With the success of IPL now Indian cricketing culture is at the new level, and they are having huge fan base which lost to watch more domestic players instead of foreign players and BCCI is using this for their influence in cricket here if we have no foreign player in IPL then still things will be at the same level for them, and they will be able to have enough money through media rights.

Here I love the way because now players are having enough money which will help them for long time after retirement due to IPL and domestic market we have few Indian cricketers those are able to secure their players in top earners of sporting world and IPL is currently also one of the high paying league in sport world which is surely huge success no other cricket league can go near to them even in coming decades.

So if there are no world stars in the meeting of world stars, then that tournament will definitely lose popularity.

I never mentioned in my earlier post that foreign players aren't required. They are essential for sure, but popular Indian players are the ones who are mainly responsible for the tournament's popularity.

PCB Surrender To BCCI's Hybrid Model Bid For ICC Champions Trophy As Ex-Cricketer Discloses Agreement - Report

What a shocker! Literally everyone saw this coming. I have no idea how PCB thought of opposing them when they are at a low point these days. It turned out to be a pointless ego battle basically.

[UmerIdrees]

Yesterday on Friday, there was a meeting of the ICC, BCCI and PCB on the champion trophy and the final decision of the meeting was that India is not coming to Pakistan to play the matches and the Indian games are set to play in Dubai but at the same time, if the Indian team will not qualify for the final match then the final will be going to held on the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The final verdict is that India is not coming to Pakistan to play this big event.

What a shocker! Literally everyone saw this coming. I have no idea how PCB thought of opposing them when they are at a low point these days. It turned out to be a pointless ego battle basically.

The point that make me confuse that if PCB didn't have the guts to oppose this decision, why they were screaming all over the media that they will not accept any Hybrid model. Mohsin Naqvi's repeatedly talking about equality and ruling against the hybrid model, now accepting it at once. Shame on him and PCB.

Besides NPLU19 scored 178-10 runs where only Mayan Yadav(62) able to impressed everyone with his half century but rest of players failed to achieve runs as expected.

In this first match as well, both the teams have played very well as Bangladesh played very well in this 50 over innings which gave Afghanistan batsmen a big target.  The Bangladesh batsmen had given a target of 229 runs, due to which the Afghanistan batsmen could not achieve this target and they will lose this match.  Afghanistan's batsmen scored 183 runs in 48 overs and the entire team was bowled out, if they had continued to score runs slowly, they could have won this match.  Hard work and not played well by Afghanistan they should improve their team as it is weak and batsman and bowler played very well from Bangladesh to win this match.  If Bangladesh play with similar performance in the next matches and continue to win, they will continue to win the next matches with strength.

Indian Premier League has completely changed face of Indian cricket making it very popular and creating huge fan base. What is interesting is that these fans prefer watching Indian players play other than foreign players. By the way if foreign players were not allowed to play in IPL league would still be very popular and make a lot of money from TV rights. IPL has had huge impact on Indian cricketers giving them financial security that will last long after they retire. In fact many Indian cricketers have become some of highes paid athletes in world. IPL success has also made it one of highest paying sports leagues in world and it is unlikely that any other cricket league will be able to match its success anytime soon.

IPL is very popular cricket league in the cricket world and many players from all over the world are ready to participate in this league. In this league there is excitement in every match and every player participating here earns huge amount of money. The objective of the Indian Cricket Board to organize such a league is to make their cricket much stronger. IPL has produced some of the best players who are currently performing consistently well for the Indian national team. Tilak Barma, for example, scored three consecutive centuries in the T20I series against South Africa a few days back.

Jay Shah has taken over as the ICC chairman, with effect from today. At 36-years old, he is the youngest ever chairman of the ICC. Cricket fans will be quite relieved, because the previous one (Greg Barclay) was a big flop. Unlike corrupt administrators such as Sharad Pawar and Narayanaswami Srinivasan, I admire Shah because he is not greedy. He was one of the main backers of inclusion of cricket in the Olympic games, and I am sure that having him as the chairman will be a net positive for the associate nations.

You're this statement is having no logic because if I am correct you are living in Pakistan and better understand how things are going here no system all corrupt and criminals are holding high profile spots just because of this Pakistan is doing down for last few years.
Mohsin Nagvi is just a puppet he can't do anything against strong lobby of BCCI in ICC now if PCB wants to have Champions Trophy 2025 rights then surely they are going to accept hybrid system for the Indian cricket team because they will never visit Pakistan due to their strong influence in ICC.

The third ODI match of the series between the visiting Ireland Women's team and the host Bangladesh Women's team is being played today. It may have been noticed that Bangladesh Women's team has won the first two ODI matches against Ireland Women's team. In those two matches, Bangladesh women put up an impeccable batting and bowling performance. Maybe in today's match too Bangladeshi women will perform their impeccable performance. Ireland Women batting first today, they are currently 97 runs for three wickets in 28.1 overs. If Ireland women can score more than 230 runs today, it will not be easy for Bangladesh to win this match.

In the auctions held in other seasons of IPL, it is usually seen that IPL teams prefer foreign players and buy foreign players for huge amounts, but we did not see anything like that in the auctions of this season of IPL. There has been a lot of emphasis on domestic players in this season and teams have been trying to sign domestic players with huge sums of money. Teams have tried to retain good players in the past but those who could not be retained have been re-purchased in the auction at high prices. Rishabh Pant Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer these three batsmen really did not think that the value would be so high. Most likely Rishabh Pant will be the most valuable player in this IPL.

There seems to be some sort of directive from the BCCI to the franchises to focus more on domestic players. Else how can you justify
Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh selling for ₹180 million each, while Lungi Ngidi and Brydon Carse going for just ₹10 million? If this trend persists, then foreign players may pull out of the IPL and focus on other leagues such as the BBL and the Hundred. Also, there seems to be price-fixing by the franchises. We saw that in the case of Will Jacks.

In other seasons of IPL, various teams would go to great lengths to recruit foreign players and each player would be sold at a very high price, but this IPL auction is probably the first where foreign players are not valued much and domestic cricketers are bought for a lot of money. There may be something like the possibility you mentioned as foreign players come to India for months to play IPL but if their remuneration is not to their liking then there may be many big stars withdrawing from the next seasons and showing interest to play BBL. I am not talking about buying at a high price, but the player who is bought at a price that will benefit both parties should be bought with that amount of money, whether it is a domestic or foreign player.

In this series, Ireland Women played a lot of effort and well, but still Bangladesh Women have won this series completely.  Because Bangladesh Women are stronger than Ireland Women, due to which Ireland Women could not win a single match in this series.  In the third match today, Ireland Women had set a target of only 185 runs in 50 overs, in which Bangladesh Women's bowling played a role as they stopped the runs and did not let them play the entire innings by taking wickets.  At this time, Bangladesh Women have won the match by achieving this target in 38 overs.  Congratulations to Bangladesh for this win and also for this series win Ireland Women did not win a single match in this series and were whitewashed by Bangladesh Women.  They wanted their bowling to be good and capable enough to win this match.

In IPL, I have seen from the beginning that domestic players are valued more than foreign players. And there is a good reason for this. Because Indian cricketers cannot play in any foreign franchise leagues, which is why they are always valued more. This is a strategy of their country's cricket board, maybe they have tried to keep their cricket attractive. That is why I am not too worried about it.

If the remuneration is reduced further this year from the previous years, then I think the attraction of foreign players towards IPL will decrease, which will not bring any positive message for IPL in the long term. There are many cricketers who retire very early from the national team to play in this tournament and if they do not get the appreciation accordingly, then gradually the attraction towards IPL will decrease.

One day competition among Bangladesh women squad against Ireland women squad was finished and all three matches of this competition was completed and third one was played today. Before playing this match Bangladesh women squad already lead this competition with two victories and in third one, Ireland women squad displayed Amazing batting skills ane managed to collect 185 scores as a defend but this was scores were not high to emerge victory at least they needed 250 or above scores for winning. With not worries, Bangladesh women squad simply achieved all scores of Ireland women squad, Sharmin Akhter and Fargana Hoque both build strong partnership in batting inning and both collected 61 and 72 scores respectively. Next among them T20 format competition will begin and Bangladesh women squad have great possibility to again defeat Ireland women squad.
