Cricket match prediction discussions

[Compromise me]

I think it will be an even game and with Pakistan playing the game in the home ground, ICC tournament coming to their country after a long time, there would be another sort of feeling and atmosphere. On paper, New Zealand team may be strong but on the Pakistan home ground , you can't say with confidence, if they (NZ) would win that first match or not.

Honestly, I don't think so at all. Pakistan is heavily dependent on their middle order batsmen while New Zealand's top and middle order are firing on all cylinders these days. The Kiwis have a better bowling lineup too.

This is why Pakistan's home ground advantage won't really help them much in this particular tournament.

The failure of three batsmen in Pakistan's top order has put Pakistan in its current position. Especially Babar Azam and Fakhrazzaman, these two batsmen have been out of form for a long time. In fact, Pakistan is mainly dependent on these two batsmen, Mohammad Rezwan and Salman. If these two batsmen perform poorly, Pakistan will be all out before 200 runs.

Pak team is not favorite team to win champions trophy because many players are facing trouble to play against bowlers . As we saw last match in which Pak team could not  make good target in this match and that team all out by making only 242 runs in this match. Indian International cricket team is very strong and Pak team has to face Indian team to win this tournament and that is very tough for Pakistan team because that team has many referenced players and players have no performance but they are part of team and they are damaging the performance of Pak team.Australia International team, New Zealand team and Indian team are favorite for this tournament because these teams have best players and they are ready to win this tournament.

Even in the previous post on the ODI discussion thread I said about I am hoping to see win the New Zealand team and really there is a high probability of wining the New Zealand team as because of the good performance in the recent tri-nation series and also they beat the Pakistani team as well. So expecting win from them is natural right now.

But we have to also keep in this mind that Pakistan team was the winner of the previous Champions Trophy 2017 they beat the indian team on final match by a very big margin 180 run, Pakistan took 338 run on the final match that was remarkable, we if we took them that lightly that not going to be very good as well .

Almost all the teams in the tournament are strong. So there is no room for anyone to be considered weak. There are some teams that are naturally much stronger than Pakistan, especially India. Since both the team's batting and bowling action are strong, it will be difficult to win against them. Pakistan's current batting line-up not bad but we cannot expect much from their bowling. That is why even if they score well against India and Australia, there is no guarantee of winning that match. If they win the toss in any match, I think they should play to the target so that the batsmen can recover in those areas. The 1st match between Pakistan and New Zealand starts today, I hope both the teams can show good performance.

New Zealand's first match against Pakistan will be very competitive, especially as Pakistan will try to avenge their defeat to New Zealand in the previous matches in the first match of the Champions Trophy. Although Pakistan has lost the previous matches due to the failures of the top order, if they make some changes in the top order in this match, then maybe Pakistan will definitely win the first match. However, Pakistan's fast bowlers are not getting much benefit, which is why New Zealand is getting a chance to score a lot of runs towards the end.

David White (CEO of International League T20) recently gave an interview to the Wisden magazine. There have been a lot of concerns regarding this league, and the most important of them have been that very few native players are getting represented. The CEO pointed out that the league has heavily invested in schools in and around UAE, and some of the players have been drafted to different franchise sides this season. And apart from international players, they do have representation also from associate nations such as Namibia, Nepal, Malaysia, Scotland and Netherlands. Full interview here:

Pakistan won the toss in today's first match of the ICC Champions Trophy but today we saw that they took up fielding. Maybe Pakistan's decision today was the right one because they lost the final match of the tri-series even though they batted first. That's why they probably didn't acceptance to bat first after winning the toss against New Zealand in this match. Although Pakistan is a very good team, perhaps our more attention in this match will be on Pakistan's opening batsmen.

In the previous matches, Pakistan's opening batsmen could not present themselves well, maybe that's what's expected of them in this match. I think Babar Azam's experience should be showcased in today's match.

Well, even they put New Zealand into the bat, it is still not in their favor. New Zealand made too many runs in this match and for Pakistan to chase 340 runs will be a daunting task for them. They gave too many runs in the last overs and due to that, the New Zealand team are comfortably placed in this match.

Their main bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi was wicketless today. However, Naseem Shah got two wickets. Haris Rauf also got two wickets but he gave 83 runs in his 10 overs. Almost every bowler from Pakistan was expensive today. Not a good start by Pakistan bowlers.

If we discuss the four teams in this group in which Pakistan is, then New Zealand and India will be given the most priority from this group. Earlier we saw that India and Pakistan matches were very exciting but now those excitements of India and Pakistan matches are not noticed on the field anymore. In most of the last few major tournaments that India and Pakistan have faced each other, India have defeated Pakistan by large margins.

In this Champions Trophy match in which India will face Pakistan, the chances of India winning are also high. Now the question is which two teams from this group can secure the semi-finals. First I will drop Bangladesh then if I am asked to pick any two teams out of the three then I will pick India as the first team and New Zealand as the second team.

Winning the Champions Trophy is a long way off before the big challenge for Pakistan is to qualify for the semi-finals.

New Zealand's target against Pakistan has been 120 due to the full bowling failure in today's match, but the full batting disaster has occurred in Pakistan. Pakistan today proved that their bowlers were not able to keep New Zealand batter under pressure, so two batsmen have given a big score of 120 runs today with two centuries. The spinner has become weaker than Pakistan's fast bowler, which is why New Zealand bowlers have been successful in spin bowling, but Pakistan's spinners have not been successful.

New Zealand's first match against Pakistan will be very competitive, especially as Pakistan will try to avenge their defeat to New Zealand in the previous matches in the first match of the Champions Trophy.

However, Pakistan's fast bowlers are not getting much benefit, which is why New Zealand is getting a chance to score a lot of runs towards the end.

To be honest I haven't saw anything like competitive in this match as I saw New Zealand team done more good performance than their pervious match against the Pakistani team on this stadium on the Tri-Nation series. Even though I think on the previous match the New Zealand could also take up to 300run if they batted first.
Anyway, if I say about anything about this match I have to just say that Tom Latham and Will Young  should be the biggest credit for the win and the weak performance of the top orders batting line up Pakistan team is the reason of this failure.

Next match is Between Bangladesh vs India

this is really easy predictable match because we all know India will gonna win this match in a big margin.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are India's main weapons for the 2nd game of the Champion's Trophy. But if we look in the recent matches, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma performance isn't all that good. Virat Kohli is suffering from his one of the worst time as well as Rohit Sharma little bit. In the 2024 World Cup, that was won by India, Rohit and Virat both performed when the situation was under pressure. They own the World Cup otherwise in the whole group stages matches, the team was depending on the middle order. Anyhow, this match against bangladesh should be a piece of cake for them.

In most of the last few major tournaments that India and Pakistan have faced each other, India have defeated Pakistan by large margins.

The last meet-up of the Pakistan and the Indian team at Dubai was in 2021 and Pakistan went to the Semi-Final but lost it, and the final was won by Australia. However, if we talk about what happened in Dubai Pakistan vs India, Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam incredible game, back to back hitting by them. Shaheen taking wickets, Shadab Khan's excellent bowling, Imad Wasim's defense, Hasan Ali's effort, Haris Rauf defending bowling lead the team to the victory and Pakistan won against India for the first time in T20 World Cup.

We should not expect players to perform the same way all the time, but we do.
But when you said that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not performing very well at the moment, I would disagree with you. Because they may have performed poorly in the previous England ODI series. But in terms of performance in the England ODI series, they have performed exceptionally well overall. So I expect them to perform well against Bangladesh, where they have been able to perform well against teams like England even I am a Bangladeshi fan but I have to accept the truths.

Moreover, apart from Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma as their main weapon, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill, there are many others.

this is really easy predictable match because we all know India will gonna win this match in a big margin.

We, the people of Bangladesh, may have been able to say in advance that there is a lot of differences between Bangladesh and India, especially a strong team in India cricket, and on the other hand, a middle row team in Bangladesh cricket. If India wishes to arrange 5 cricket teams like Bangladesh cricket team, their player will not be in crisis, but it is very difficult to find a good player in Bangladesh cricket. If the performance of Bangladeshi players is good today, then of course we will see an exciting match and if the performance of Bangladeshi players is bad then we will surely see a one -sided match.

I believe that Bangladesh will compete well with India, especially after the poor bowling delivery by Pakistan's bowlers in yesterday's match. We may not be able to win against India but I believe we can give the audience enough joy. Moreover, if Bangladesh can keep India under control in the beginning, then I believe we have enough ability to defeat India in this important match.

I also agree with you. I think India has one of the most powerful names in the squad such as Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami , KL Rahul, Sheryas Lyer and many other players. And in group A where we have Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and New Zealand. Bangladesh and Pakistan are not a big deal for India to face while little bit they may face a struggle against New Zealand due to their very good recent form, playing in Pakistan. This Indian dream of lifting the Champions Trophy 2025 might come true in this season.

Of course our Bangladesh will face India hard and will try hard to win. We will never feel weak to face India, of course we will win with our best performance. Also India knows very well that it will not be easy to win against Bangladesh, if they want to win they will have to win through hard performance. I am a supporter of Bangladesh and a citizen of Bangladesh, I will support Bangladesh even if they win, I will support Bangladesh even if they lose. Best wishes to the Bangladesh team, may they win today's match with a good performance.

The New Zealand bowler played well and won by a huge margin of 60 runs.  No pressure was working on the New Zealand batsmen due to which the New Zealand batsmen set a target of 320 which could not be achieved by the Pakistan batsmen.  Apart from this Pakistan's batsmen lost all their wickets due to which they also lost 4 overs.  Pakistan's performance was already told that they will lose this match as Pakistan is not a strong enough team to beat strong teams like New Zealand.  Pakistan's batsmen also could not play well and besides this there was pressure from the New Zealand bowlers due to which they would lose the match.  New Zealand bowler Mitchell Santner, Will O'Rourke took 3 wickets, which made Pakistan even weaker.

It is natural that every team supporter will support their team by reading their team jersey but if we consider the strength aspect then there is not much chance of Bangladesh winning against India. Not only India, but also the teams that Bangladesh will play in this Champions Trophy, it will be difficult to win against them. Bangladesh may be defeated today against India and in their upcoming matches against New Zealand and Pakistan we will see a similar performance from Bangladesh. I am not expecting Bangladesh to go to the semi-finals, but now I am only hoping that Bangladesh can win at least one match in the Champions Trophy.

There may not be much to complain about Bangladesh's bowlers but there are many complaints about the first-order batsmen because they never do well for Bangladesh.

[noormcs5]

Fakhar Zaman ruled out from the Champions Trophy. Already Pakistan is missing Saim Ayub and as we have seen their performance in the previous game, they were badly struggling in that game.

How Fakhar had an injury ?, It was very unfortunate incident. Fakhar Zaman was trying to field the ball in the first over, but he drove himself and had a bad injury. Later, when Pakistan was struggling and lost 2 wickets at 22, Fakhar had to go to save the game. He tried his best. He could not run between the wickets, but he tried full effort to hit with his bat, which he did. Now, Imam Ul Haq will come in Fakhar Zaman's place who only knows how to tip a ball
