Cricket match prediction discussions

[Fuso.hp]

Maybe it's because the ICC deliberately puts Pakistan and India in the same group in every World Cup. Of all the matches played in cricket, the matches between India and Pakistan are the most high-voltage matches. As you mentioned, just as India and Pakistan are archrivals in cricket, while Australia and England are also archrivals in cricket. The matches of these four teams will be much more interesting, and many spectators will come to the field to watch their matches.

The main reason for deliberately forming such groups is financial gain. Earlier, the ICC earned a record amount of money from the World Cup match between India and Pakistan. Never before in the history of cricket were the number of people watching the game sitting on the ground and watching the game online. Now ICC will surely want to exploit these opportunities which is why every major event like ODI World T20 World Cup or Champions Trophy or Asia Cup places India and Pakistan in the same group everywhere. 
Champions Trophy will be more interesting than other tournaments as it features top 8 teams so rest assured that Champions Trophy is undoubtedly going to be very competitive. But I am initially favoring India, Pakistan and England, Australia for the semi-finals.

You are absolutely right. I think India vs is high voltage match and ICC will try to establish match between these two teams. Pakistan team is coming in good form because that team won the series against SA cricket team which is excellent win but Indian team should make hard work. Indian team has top quality batters and Pak team  has no player like Sky and Rohit Sharma and they need top quality result.Indian team is most favorite team for this team . Indian team is full of high quality players . Indians are bet Indian team which is altimate . Without Indian team tournament Will be neutral but now we are impressed by past performance of big players.

Still India and Pakistan team are eternal rivals in cricket, but we don't see the competition that used to be between India and Pakistan. If there is a match between India and Pakistan now, India will win it singlehandedly. 

In the last Champions League match perhaps Pakistan beat India to win the Champions Trophy then there is no such record as Pakistan beating India. If the rivalry is lost, then the distinct attraction between the India and Pakistan match between the spectators will no longer exist. So I would expect Pakistan to perform well at least against India in the Champions Trophy and give a game that will make the audience appreciate Pakistan's game. However, it will definitely be difficult for Pakistan to actually win against whoever India will announce as a team.

Rivalry between India and Pakistan in cricket is very famous but lately India has been winning most of time which makes matches less exciting. I agree with you that Pakistan needs to play better especially against India to make rivalry interesting again and get spectators excited. If Pakistan and India have close match it will be very thrilling for audience and bring back excitement of their rivalry. Pakistan has good team and it is time for them to show what they can do against India. If Pakistan plays well their matches against India will be more exciting and their rivalry will be respected again.

Yeah, India and Pakistan have a legacy of rivalry not just in cricket but in every aspect, and that thrills the people to watch the matches. In every tournament, when they face each other, the stadium is full of crowds, and there are thousands of people watching it online. Sometimes, the server goes down because of the high traffic. The ICC earns a lot of money from the matches between India and Pakistan, and I think in the whole tournament, none of the matches can earn as much crowd and money except for those involving Pakistan and India. Now, the Indian team is lagging a little bit because their top players didn't perform the way they should, which can make them unfit. People get entertainment from the matches, and it will be possible if both teams have high performance players who can give each other a tough time, otherwise, there will be no enjoyment in their matches.

Spectators are losing interest because previously India vs Pakistan matches used to occur once every one or two years. But nowadays, they are very frequent. Recently, India played against Pakistan in both the T20I world cup, and also in the Asia Cup. And in a few months, they will again face each other in Champions Trophy. Also, previously it used to be a contest between two sides of equal strength. That is no longer the case now, as India has improved their performance and is now considered as one of the strongest teams in cricket.

The Australian match started aggressively with Sam Konstas's batting. He broke Jasprit Bumrah's career record. Also, I saw Ricky Ponting's batting style. I hope he will become the defending player. Like Australian legend players, he highlighted his career from the beginning.

Also, another top-order batsman named Usman Khawaja (57), Marnus Labuschagne (72), and Steven Smith (140) are given the important role of growing this innings to a total of 474 runs. It proved that if everyone gives their best to get the best work, they reach a good score.

Yes, You are right each player's its own role in team and Australia all out after scoring 470 plus runs in first inning of fourth test match.India lost his seven wickets at 221 runs but after that the 8th wicket partnership between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar is more then 100 runs and India just trail by 129 runs. Nitish Kumar Reddy played an outstanding inning of 94 runs and very close to his well deserved century while Washington Sundar also supporting him scored a half century and remain not out. Scott Boland bowling performance amazing picked 3 important wickets so far including the top wicket of virat kholi. Australia needs to break this partnership if they want to comeback in this test match.

What career record related to Bumrah did he break exactly? Didn't hear anything about this and you are seriously exaggerating by comparing him with a legend like Ponting based on just one performance.

Australia needs to break this partnership if they want to comeback in this test match.

They already did and they still have the upper hand in this test match. The only favorable result for the Indians now is the draw result.

India Women vs West Indies Women, 1st ODI match is ongoing. INDW already Scored 314-9 runs which is a lots of runs in ODI format to win the match. Pratika Rawal(40) and Harleen Deol(44) made decent amount of runs, so for Harmanpreet Kaur. But the main attraction was Smriti Mandhana(91), who is one of the top opener batsman in India Women team, continuously showing amazing performance and so for today. With all effort, she has presents us a legendary performance but missed her century for a few runs. Zaida James took five wickets behalf of  West Indies and meanwhile west indies women started their batting. But i Wonder, they already lost four wickets at 11 runs! Opener Qiana Joseph and Hayley Matthews lost their wickets without a single run. And rest of two players also out with lower runs. Thats ridiculous. Although they showed good performance against India women even in previous T20 Matches. Well It seems India women will win the match easily. let's see if West Indies women afford to score more than 100 runs or not.

This game was won India women team and 2nd game was played and this game again won Indian women and West indies lost 2 odi games tournament. India women won by 115 runs. India women elected to bat first and won toss. The 2nd match between India women  and West indies was played at
Kotambi Stadium. West indies and India women both teams are good teams and have great experienced. India women scored 358/5 and won the match. west indies chased total runs for 243 and lost the match by 115. I hope West indies they will play better in the next match. India women is playing amazing in both tournaments odi and T20. From my side West indies didn't play the match very well made very few runs and lost. The best bowling performance in India team was by Priya Mishra bowled 9.2 over and conceded 49 runs and took 3 wickets. Congratulations to India women for their upcoming matches.

This margin was huge for Markor because they kept playing so much throughout the Chapman Cup and coming to the last match they lost this match by a huge margin. They should have played hard and fast because they are also a good team but  Playing with some pressure and slow pace led them to defeat and this defeat was not an ordinary match defeat this was a whole Champion Cup defeat in which they were working hard and would lose the match because of one small mistake. STA's batsmen and bowlers have played very well, their batting has shown speed and their bowling has shown pressure which has lost the match for the opposition team.  Congratulations to the STA team for this win and also for winning the Champion Cup as they have achieved a huge win that Markor wanted to achieve but was unable to achieve.

South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test match still underway. First innings is done already where Pakistan Scored 211-10 runs and South Africa scored 301-10 runs. In 1st Inngins, Pakistan players did poor performance in batting as well as bowling. But RSA players Aiden Markram(89) and Corbin Bosch(*81) showed amazing batting performance. Dane Paterson took five wickets alone. After the start of 2nd Inngins, Pakistan once again performed poor, 237-10 was scored where Saud Shakeel(84) Showed skillful batting. And this time RSA bowler Marco Jansen took six wickets alone which was a worthy achievement for his Carrier. Meanwhile RSA started their batting, a poor startup with 27-3 runs yet. But Aiden Markram(*22) still in the Field. Temba Bavuma(*1) also a skillful batsman and a decent runs can be expected from Corbin Bosch's bat due to his previous innings graphs. Overall RSA need 121 runs only which is likely possible enough if they play more seriously with dedication. Thus RSA has good possibility to win

I don't think Konstas has broken any record or not heard of any such type of news. Konstas played his maiden test match and did not judge a player on his single match. Jasprit Bumrah picked the wicket of Sam Konstas for just 8 runs in the second innings. Jasprit bumrah picked 4 important wickets in second inning and also take the fifth one but no ball given by umpire. At the end of day four, Australia is in a commanding position in the 10th wicket partnership of more than 50 runs between Lyon and Boland, which hurts the Indian team. Australia leads with 330 plus runs and I think Australia will set a target of 350 plus runs for India. India has no chance to chase such a huge total, but Australia has enough chances to win this test match.

Sam Konstas breaks Australian record as he is youngest every opener for them with having the fastest fifty on debut and also first player in test cricket who hits six to Jasprit Bumrah in 3 years because Bumrah was without conceding any six since 2021 and in 4,483 deliveries.

Sam Konstas was a very youngest talent who broken then record of Jasprit Bumrah last three years. He hits the couple of sixes from his (Jasprit Bumrah) last 4483 deliveries. Australian cricket board are much happy to see the aggressive batting of Sam Konstas.

Very recent, Indian Cricket Team loses their innings for their bad performance. Virat Kohli can't reach his past dream figure. Virat Kohli only 5 from 29 balls. It's not a winning figure for Indian Team from his bat.

[Sithara007]

Star India submitted a report recently to the ICC, which estimated the loss to media rights revenue in case either India or Pakistan pulls out of the Champions Trophy. According to Star, in case India pulls out, then close to 90% of the revenue would be lost. Similar figure for a potential Pakistani pullout is less than 10%. This once again showcases how much the Indian market is dominating the ICC revenues. And I won't be surprised if the BCCI asks for an even larger share of the ICC funds during the next cycle.

Finally the ICC announced awaiting fixtures for the Champions Trophy. The first game is between Pakistan and New Zealand that will be played in Karachi and there is not even a single game of Pakistan team in the 2nd biggest stadium that is Lahore. Yes, the Semi-final is set to play there and the other big matches are there but not the games where Pakistan is playing.

Also the most hyped match, Pakistan vs India is on 23rd Feb at Dubai Cricket Stadium. The final is not decided yet as where it will be played, if India qualifies then it will be played in Dubai otherwise in Lahore.

The good thing is that all the matches will be played as D/N, irrespective of the location. National Stadium in Karachi, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will be hosting the matches, while Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host the matches that are played in hybrid mode. I don't see anything wrong with the schedule, and the day-night matches will increase the viewership and revenue potential within the South Asian region. BTW, India is scheduled to host the next (2029) edition of the Champions Trophy.

Yes ICC has finally announced schedule for Champions Trophy and some interesting things have come out. One thing that stands out is that Pakistan will play their first game against New Zealand in Karachi but surprisingly none of Pakistan games will be played in Lahore which has second biggest stadium in country. Even though Pakistan can not play there Lahore will still host some important matches including semi final. Big match between Pakistan and India will take place on February 23rd at Dubai Cricket Stadium. The place where final will be played has not been decided yet if India makes it to final it will be in Dubai but if not it will be in Lahore.

Well, one concern in the day and night matches could be the dew factor in this part of the region. I am not sure what would be weather at that time but it will be winter and I hope there is no dew as then the results become a bit predictable and the team batting first gets undue advantage.

Another thing which came to my mind, what will the people of Pakistan want to see India in the finals or would they want that India does not qualify and the final stays at their home ground ? Ideally everyone would want an India-Pakistan final but for that they would have to sacrifice the final game hosting.

Dew will be more of a concern at Dubai and Karachi, not so much at Lahore and Rawalpindi. In the first two venues, teams may opt to bowl first in order to avoid bowling under dew later on. Since it is winter season in Northern hemisphere, bowling during daytime should be OK. For me, rather than dew, it is the security concerns that is more important. There is an active conflict ongoing along the North Waziristan Agency between the Taliban regime of Afghanistan and the Pakistani Armed Forces. A few weeks back, Afghan forces shot down a military helicopter and Pakistani soldiers died in that incident.

Yes ICC has finally announced the schedule for the Champions Trophy. This year's ICC Champions Trophy tournament wanted to be hosted by Pakistan, but the Indian team did not agree to play Pakistan. For which there was a lot of discussion on this issue for few days then it was decided that this ICC Champions Trophy will be held in two countries. We saw two stadiums have been fixed for the final match. The final match of the ICC Champions Trophy will be played in which stadium is completely depends on the Indian team. If the Indian cricket team reaches the ICC Champions Trophy final, the match will be held at the Dubai Stadium. And if India can't reach the final then maybe it will be held in Pakistan's Lahore Stadium.

As far as the security is concerned, I don't think that would be a too serious issue otherwise ICC wouldn't have allowed the tournament to be played in Pakistan in the first place. Even the countries would have shown resistance, nothing of that sort happened.  Also, recently many international teams visited Pakistan and no mishap happened. Also in Pakistan the International players and the teams are given special security and I heard it is of the same level that is given to the president of Pakistan and other higher officials. I am sure this tournament will be played in a secure environment and will be a success.
