Cricket match prediction discussions

Well, when we say it is a European T20 Premier League and England is not included in it, it does not make sense to me? It would have been good if all the European teams participated in it. Anyway, it would be good for the Scotland and Netherlands cricket boards to have such a league. This is a new league and its first edition will be played in July this year. I feel aren't we having too many leagues globally 

It all comes down to priorities at the end of the day. ECB clearly wants their team to focus on more important tournaments instead of this league which makes complete sense if you think about it.

Also, I do agree with your opinion about too many leagues these days. I tend to focus only on the most important leagues between big leagues just like many other viewers.

I agree with you and also it is a wise decision by the ECB and also for the teams participating in this T20 Premier League. The current three teams Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands participating are equal when it comes to performances and the spectators will enjoy the matches between them. If England were also to participate then it would be obvious that England would be winning this series and that doesn't make sense at all for England to play with teams that are so weak.

ECB is already managing two different franchise leagues on its own: T20 Blast and the Hundred. I don't think that they are interested in participating in one more league, as it will increase the workload for the counties. Also, ECB is the second richest cricket board in the world, and they don't have much to gain from this new league. Ireland is participating in it, just because they are unable to manage a franchises league on their own. They have a population of just around 7 million, and cricket is not one of the most popular sports there.

Thunder vs Hobart payed a 29 th game of big big league series and both team try to compete each other Thunder played 8 games and they lost 3 games and won 4 games. Hobart played 7 games out of these they lost 1 game. Thunder set 164 runs target in 20 overs by 6 wickets. Warner showed great help team by scoring 88 runs in 66 balls and hitted seven 4s. But all his effort was not enough team to win game and their other Batsman and bowlers did not play well and lost the game. Hobart won game by big margin of 6 wickets and 19 balls. David showed great effort and he scored 68 runs in 38 balls and hitted four 4s and six 6s. David got a player of game award congratulations to achieve this title and Hobart to win game.

After this match, Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes points are level and both have now 11 points each and only the NRR separating the two teams. Both teams have won 5 matches each and it is really hard to choose between the two. Sydney Sixers have won there last match against Perth Scorchers. I am quite confident that both these teams will play the Qualifier match and they may meet again in the final too. It will be a good competition between David Warner and Tim David  

The two teams are currently in the same place in the points table for the Big Bash League 2024-25 season, meaning both teams have the same number of points. Although these two teams are in the same position in terms of points, there are differences between them. Basically, the number of matches that the Sydney Sixers have managed to win, they have won those matches by a much larger margin, as a result of which their net run rate is much higher at the moment.

On the other hand Hobart Hurricanes they also won many matches but they didn't win by much margin so their net run rate is a bit low. But note one thing that Sydney Sixers team has already played more matches, So if Hobart Hurricanes wants to climb to number one in the points table then they must win the next match, which could result in an increase in their net run rate.

2nd ODI, Rajkot, January 12, 2025, Indian Women vs Ireland Women. Indian Women proved their performance against Irish women. I can't believe the 4 top-order batsmen are playing. Amazing performance of both of them Smriti Mandhana (73 from 54), Pratika Rawal (67 from 61), Harleen Deol (89 from 84), and Jemimah Rodrigues (102 from 91). In chess, the run Ireland Women waste a lot of balls. They only collect 254/7 wickets. For Ireland Women Sarah Forbes killed many balls and couldn't collect the right amount of runs. I think her Ireland Women's Team lost this match by a very high distance in run rate.

Ireland women squad need a lot of hard work to defeat one of best cricket squad in women side Indian squad and they consecutively lost two one day matches with big leading. First one their squad lost match with lot of wickets and lot of deliveries to spare 93 and second match Ireland squad squad faced a defeat with 116 massive scores. India women squad managed to collect 370 scores as a defend by playing 50 overs. All their top order batters expressed their amazing batting skills with collecting significant scores for squad. Jemimah Rodrigues made highest scores achieved from India women of total 102, Smriti Mandhana collected 73, Pratika Rawal collected 67 scores and Harleen Deol managed to collect 89 scores. Ireland women squad displayed good performance in batting but bowling inning was very shit and Ireland women squad just achieved total 254 scores. Last one will play after few days break and 100% possibility Ireland women squad will face defeat in this match.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has already announced the 15-member squad ahead of the Champions Trophy where the biggest surprise was that Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das were left out of the Champions Trophy squad. Due to Shakib Al Hasan's important decisions in World Cup, Bangladesh qualified for the Champions Trophy, but BCB announced the team without Shakib for the Champions Trophy. Shakib recently had some bowling action issues and failed the bowling action test as per ICC rules due to which he could not bowl in this Champions Trophy. The Bangladesh Cricket Board may not have considered batsman Shakib enough to include him in the team. However, the team announced by Bangladesh is now expected to do well in the Bangladesh Champions Trophy with this team.

Shakib Al Hasan is almost 38 years old, and it was not really a surprise that he was dropped from the Champions Trophy. But the absence of Litton was shocking, after his great form at the Bangladesh Premier League for Dhaka Capital. During the last two matches, he scored a total of 198 runs. Anyway, after the news came out, Litton issued a statement saying that his exclusion was perfectly justified and he wasn't performing up to the level during the last few months. Najmul Hossain Shanto is the captain BTW.

They need to work hard and also need experience. After losing the first match, Ireland women's team had a chance but they could not win the second match either. In the second match, India women's team gave a big target of 370 runs and Ireland women's team could not chase it. They finished their innings with just 254 runs after batting 50 overs. In this match, the top order of India women's team performed brilliantly. Everyone scored well there. Especially a century by Jemimah Rodrigues played an important role in increasing the total score of the team due to which India women's team was able to give a target of 370 runs. On the other hand, Coulter Reilly of Ireland team played an innings of 80 runs. The rest of the teammates could not do as well as needed due to which Ireland had to be limited to 254 runs. India team is definitely strong on Indian home ground but to play against them, the opposite team will have to do well in both bowling and batting otherwise it will be difficult to compete.

For the first time, there is an article on the much awaited European T20 Premier League. Cricket Ireland published an article in their official website, which provides some information regarding the league:

https://cricketireland.ie/news/new-tournament-for-2025/

The European T20 Premier League (ETPL) will run from 15 July to 3 August 2025. The specialty about this league is that for the first time in the history of the T20 franchise cricket, multiple national boards will be jointly managing a league. And actually this is a great idea, that can be considered by even test playing nations.

For example, why can't Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket jointly operate a league, that can replace the BBL and the Super Smash? I would recommend 6 teams from Australia and 2 from New Zealand. Another suggestion is to have a combined league for South Asia (minus India). I would recommend 3 teams from Pakistan, 2 each from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, and one team from Nepal to have a 10-team tournament.

Yes, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced the team for the Champions Trophy, but some important players are missing from the Bangladesh team. You mentioned that they announced the team without Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Kumar Das, Shakib Al Hasan is Bangladesh's number one player, he is the best in every way. Without him, the Bangladesh team is already very weak, they have also announced the team without one more batsman. Liton Kumar Das was not in form but is now slowly starting to return to form. A few days ago, he had a very good batting performance in a match and he scored the most runs in that match. I think the Bangladesh Cricket Board's selection panel should have announced the team through proper thinking.

I mentioned about this earlier. Shakib is almost 38 years old and he is mostly focusing on franchise T20 leagues nowadays. I believe that the selectors did a good job by dropping him from the squad. And regarding Litton Kumer Das, his form has been pathetic in recent times. So his exclusion is also justified. In fact, even Litton clarified that the selectors were right in dropping him. All that said, I would say that the chances of Bangladesh progressing to the knockout phase in the champions trophy looks very dim.

This isn't ideal since there are way, way too many leagues being played around the world these days. Top cricketers usually have the time for only prestigious leagues like the IPL, Top ICC tourneys, High profile test series etc these days.

It's better to focus on those prestigious tournaments and refine them further instead of starting new tournaments in my personal opinion.

Bangladeshi International cricket team is facing hard time and they are facing very bad condition for the team . Bangladesh cricket board is taking abd decisions and also they want to give chance to new players because they want youngesters in the team because after few months Shakib will get retirement and he will be out of the game,So they are now preparing back up for the team . Shakib is top class player and he served well for the country but now country need bif players and team performance is very bad in all formats but they have to improve their performance in all formats then Bangladesh team will be at higher level.l

Well.. that's what I am saying. There is no point in having 10-15 different leagues. I believe that there is enough room to have separate leagues from the pig-3. IPL, Hundred and the BBL can remain financially viable in the long run. But I am not that optimistic about the smaller leagues such as the CPL and BPL. What I would suggest is the following:

1. IPL, BBL and Hundred remain as they are, but BBL can include two teams from New Zealand, and Hundred can include a team each from Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.
2. MLC should include teams from Canada
3. CPL should include teams from Bermuda and maybe also from Latin America
4. One combined league for Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh
5. SA20 can include teams from Zimbabwe, Namibia, Uganda and Nigeria
6. A combined league for GCC nations
7. Combined league for Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand

The selectors have done a very smart job by leaving out some players from the team. Shakib Al Hasan's age is not a problem, but there are some political issues behind his exclusion, which is why the team has been announced without him, but I will not go into that. I mean, the selectors have really done a smart job by leaving out Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Kumar Das from the team. If the current announced team can do well, then I hope the Bangladesh team will perform very well and have a chance of going to the knockouts in the Champions Trophy.

Has anyone noticed the recent improvement in performance from the South African cricket team? A few months back, the CSA decided to put transformation goals (i.e race based quotas) on hold. And it seems to be having an immediate and positive impact on the performance of the national team.

https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/csa-cricket-south-africa-one-black-player-kagiso-rabada-t20-world-cup-9330866/
https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/cricket-south-africa-to-address-transformation-issues-holistically-1444539

Actually this makes sense. Although 85% of the South African population is black, cricket is not very popular among them. On the other hand, cricket has a higher popularity among the whites, colored and Indians.

2nd ODI, Rajkot, January 12, 2025, Indian Women vs Ireland Women. Indian Women proved their performance against Irish women. I can't believe the 4 top-order batsmen are playing. Amazing performance of both of them Smriti Mandhana (73 from 54), Pratika Rawal (67 from 61), Harleen Deol (89 from 84), and Jemimah Rodrigues (102 from 91). In chess, the run Ireland Women waste a lot of balls. They only collect 254/7 wickets. For Ireland Women Sarah Forbes killed many balls and couldn't collect the right amount of runs. I think her Ireland Women's Team lost this match by a very high distance in run rate.

Ireland women squad need a lot of hard work to defeat one of best cricket squad in women side Indian squad and they consecutively lost two one day matches with big leading. First one their squad lost match with lot of wickets and lot of deliveries to spare 93 and second match Ireland squad squad faced a defeat with 116 massive scores. India women squad managed to collect 370 scores as a defend by playing 50 overs. All their top order batters expressed their amazing batting skills with collecting significant scores for squad. Jemimah Rodrigues made highest scores achieved from India women of total 102, Smriti Mandhana collected 73, Pratika Rawal collected 67 scores and Harleen Deol managed to collect 89 scores.

India team is definitely strong on Indian home ground but to play against them, the opposite team will have to do well in both bowling and batting otherwise it will be difficult to compete.

That's why it is losing the series many times, if it can master it, it can win every match.  But she could not succeed in that which could have won the match with an easy target and if not the series she could have scared India women by winning the match which was equivalent to winning her series but she did not play well in that either. Actually India women's bowling is very pressure which Ireland women can't face because they are weak due to which they are not able to score runs and their pressure is not so much and India women's batsmen scored 435 runs easily takes  Ireland women need a lot of hard work and good performance and if they don't get it they won't be able to face anyone which will be very detrimental to them.  If it plays a series or a league with every such team, it will lose every match which will not give them any advantage.  If it plays hard, it will be a lesson for them, otherwise they have no solution.

Ireland women was unable every time in every match of one day competition of three lead matches and yesterday this competition was finished and all three matches Ireland women squad faced a very bad defeat especially in third match, Indian women managed to collect 435 scores as a defend and failure performance was displayed by bowlers of Ireland women squad which they failed to restrict the batters of Indian women squad to low scores. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal expressed their strong batting performance why collecting 154 and 135 scores respectively. Ireland women squad just achieved 131 scores and faced a defeat of 304 scores.

However, the team announced by Bangladesh is now expected to do well in the Bangladesh Champions Trophy with this team.

Shakib Al Hasan is almost 38 years old, and it was not really a surprise that he was dropped from the Champions Trophy. But the absence of Litton was shocking, after his great form at the Bangladesh Premier League for Dhaka Capital. During the last two matches, he scored a total of 198 runs. Anyway, after the news came out, Litton issued a statement saying that his exclusion was perfectly justified and he wasn't performing up to the level during the last few months. Najmul Hossain Shanto is the captain BTW.

Shakib Al Hasan may not have been dropped because of his age but his bowling action was not right for which he was dropped. As we all know that champions trophy will be 50 overs i.e. this tournament will be in ODI format. So even though Liton Kumar Das played well in a few matches in the Bangladesh Premier League, he did not perform well in the ODI format. He did not perform well in the ODI series that Bangladesh played against the West Indies. Liton Kumar Das has not performed consistently and regularly in ODIs for which he has been dropped from the team. Moreover, according to your mentioned squad, Bangladesh has become a very strong team because this team has very good batsmen, very good bowlers and all-rounders.

Shakib Al Hasan was not only left out of the Champions Trophy for his bowling action but also because of the dirty politics of the selection panel. After dropping Shakib Al Hasan from the team, an important member of the selection committee confirmed that Shakib Al Hasan will not be able to bowl now. And we could only take him as a batsman but they already had a better batsman in his place. Now my question is Shakib Al Hasan is one of the highest run scorer for Bangladesh in World Cup. Shakib Al Hasan has batted at a better strike rate and better average than the best batsmen in Bangladesh at present. Besides, he has enough experience of playing in big tournaments. Shakib Al Hasan is only a batsman, if for this reason Shakib Al Hasan's name is not in the Champions Trophy, then I will strongly condemn this matter. In general, Shakib Al Hasan will be excluded from the team, these are just excuses.
