In this game, Bangladesh's bowlers could not put much pressure, owing to which their better target also turned into a defeat. Bangladesh was also put under a lot of pressure, owing to which Bangladesh could not struggle much in its opening match. Although their target was quite better and big, Bangladesh's bowlers did not have the performance that would lead them to win. In my opinion, Bangladesh's players have played with better performance, but Hong Kong has achieved this win by struggling more because Bangladesh's bowlers could not put up the same struggle that Bangladesh's players did, which also weakened their target. Aizaz scored the most runs among Hong Kong players, which made their win successful.

You can't underestimate any team in a six-over game, especially Hong Kong, said Kuwait. It's something to believe that all these teams have beaten the big teams. Bangladesh set a target of 121 runs for Hong Kong, which was not a low target, but anything can happen in a six-over game and that's what happened. Short boundaries and four sixes per ball. However, I had long believed that Bangladesh could beat Hong Kong and the target of 121 was much tougher but the Bangladesh bowlers did not perform well in the end and this defeat had to happen. However, Bangladesh played well and played as expected. Winning and losing are part of the game and winning and losing happen naturally. Supporters like us have the hope that Bangladesh will play better in the future.

In today's match between Pakistan and Srilanka, the Pakistan team was struggling a bit. Saim Ayub got out on 6 runs, he could play the flick short on that bowl or at least defend it by playing it in cover or straight, there was many options for Saim Ayub to play it but he failed, he was late to defend and also he placed his bat but not on the good alignment that it touched to his pads instead of bat, the bowlers Fernando start to run and also there was review in this and still we got Saim Ayub out. Babar Azam arrived and gone, Muhammad Rizwan gone.

Pakistan was really struggling with 95 runs and 4 wickets down. Later they were rescued by Salman Agha and Hussain Talat. Salman made an unbeaten 105 runs and it was indeed a innings that helped a lot to reach them to a decent total.

Salman Agha with another beautiful knock, the way he was performing was absolutely incredible. He always keeps the team out of the pressure and deserves to be a part of the middle order. When the team was struggling today that Pakistan having back to back wicket losses, he arrived and then stabilized the game with running between the wickets and early playing with low strike rate but then the time arrived, he was being extraordinary and made the Sri Lankan bowlers under pressure. If Pakistan wins this match, then the credit goes to his responsible century.

Pakistan outstanding performance in first ODI match of series winning by just 6 runs and lead the series with 1-0. It was a very exciting match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pakistan used 7 bowling options but only fast bowlers picked wickets except Muhammad Namaz picked the most important wickets of Sri lanka Captain Charith Asalanka at 32 runs. Sri Lanka could have won the match if Wanindu Hasaranga had not been out in 2nd last over of match. Sri Lanka tried hard but Pakistani bowler Haris Roof made a good comeback and picking four wickets and assited pakistan to win this match. The man of match performance by Salman Ali agha for his wondering batting performance scored a well deserved century and reached Pakistan total near to 300 runs.

Today's in sheffield shield test game, Victoria has completed its first innings while eliminating the other team aat 128 runs. They are playing second innings. Victoria played the innings first with Campbell and Harry who scored a 29 runs partnership this early wicket loss wasn’t a good sign. The middle order players performed very nicely and scored a total of 382 runs. The bolwing lineup was good but when it came to batting they struggled. New South Wales struggled from the start but the main course of their defeated started when four wickets were eliminated. With the struggling batting of top and middle order players they could collectively score 128 runs so they made a burden over their heads.
Now victoria has stepped into second innings, losing esrly wickets but they have a huge margin from the first innings so they can better win this game.

The man of match performance by Salman Ali agha for his wondering batting performance scored a well deserved century and reached Pakistan total near to 300 runs.

Exciting opening match saw Pakistan win in tight match by small difference of 1-0 in series due to some key plays. Amazing century of Salman Ali Agha helped them to get hard score of close to 300. Removal of Sri Lanka captain, Charith Asalanka, by Mohammad Nawaz broke momentum. And great four wicket finish by Haris Rauf helped Pakistan to win game. Small difference, particularly with late exit of Wanindu Hasaranga, shows that series will be very close with Pakistan having good start but Sri Lanka is certainly going to put in all effort to win second match.

Reports are coming in that the ICC T20I World Cup will remain as a 20 team competition. Some administrators wanted to expand it to 24 teams, but majority wanted to keep the number at 20. So the 2026 and 2028 editions will remain as it is. Maybe they will expand to 24 teams by 2030. This is quite disappointing for the associate teams, who were pushing for an increase. Also, there are talks for a global qualifier tournament, rather than having a continent-based qualifier system.

According to the ICC only 20 teams are the best for the T20 World Cup and they will be given a chance to play.If the organizers want to add teams it may not be possible but in the coming years the remaining teams can be counted.But the associates do not agree with this because they want all the teams to play for this World Cup.The associates want all the teams to play equally with each other.The continent is trying to include all the teams on its side but it has already been clearly said that there is no room for more teams.

Currently staying with 20 teams are okay because quality and performance level is having huge difference but as things are going and franchise leagues and few countries are doing their work I am expecting in near future ICC will be able to have 24 teams into ICC T20I World Cup.

But, again many things needed to be done because it's never been easy to bring many countries in system which have no enough finances and structure for playing against top quality teams while few countries are able to go with adopted players but it's never been possible for all. In near future they needed to work out on just 2 formats in cricket with T20I will be expandable while test format is going to stay with same level or if needed to reduced teams because this will give more time and strength.

Pakistan team won 1 st odi game and in past, Pakistan team won ODI and T20 series against South Africa team and now next they will beat Sri Lanka team. Sri Lanka team won toss and they elected fielding first and gave batting lineup to Pakistan team. Pakistan team set 299 runs target in 50 overs by losing 5 wickets and missed 300 runs. Saim and Rizwan both batsman failed to play well from Pakistan team in opening and both made small runs. Salman made brilliant century 105 in 87 balls and hitted nine 4s and he got player of game award at the end of game. Hussain contribution also played crucial role and he batted well with Agha and made 62 runs in 63 balls and hitted six 4s and one 6s. Sri Lanka team missed win by 6 runs and lost 1 st odi game.

Congratulations Sri Lanka team won 1 st ODI game.

The Sri Lankan team tried their best to win this match but could not win because the team ahead was Pakistan which performs much stronger and better than Sri Lanka. In this match too Salman Agha gave his team a strong defeat by scoring 105 runs. I think the target ahead was quite strong, due to which the Sri Lankan team came under pressure and could not perform well. Their players did not give up, but fought hard and reached the goal, but only six runs were needed and their balls were over. If there had been a few more balls or their team players did not waste balls, they could have definitely won the way they played, but the Pakistan team did not give them a deal from anywhere, which allows them to move forward because they had to win the first ODI match.

In my opinion it can be expanded to 24. During the last world cup, there were 20 participants, and some of the matches involving associate teams were really close. The only drawback here is that the ICC penalizes teams with native players, such as Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Namibia, and with each edition we are seeing less number of teams with natives. On the other hand, teams with imported players now make up for the majority of the associate contingent.

This very close game showed major battle between strength of Pakistan particularly hard score of 105 runs by Salman Ali Agha and spirit of fighting in Sri Lanka. Big score put much of pressure on Sri Lanka, but they were very strong as they only lost by six runs, which shows that they competed well with stronger team. As you mentioned, match was reduced to tiny details, such as having extra ball or not wasting shot, which proves that disciplined bowling of Pakistan in last overs was key part to maintain pressure and not to allow Sri Lanka to close gap.

I think Pakistan International cricket team made low target because Salman Ali Agha tried to hit in last overs but he could not hit sixes in last overs and we saw aggressive batting by Muhammad Nawaz because he has good shorts but if Salman play well in last overs then there could be score of 320 to 325 and there could be pressure on Sri Lanka team as we know that Haris is part of Pak teak who gave more runs as we saw in the last match of South Africa series when Pretorius hit 3 fours in his first over And we saw back to back 2 sixes in the semi final of World Cup against India by Virat kohli. Pak team have to find replacement of Haris because he is very costly bowler and if he is in the team Pak could not win any tournament.

After the recent attack in Pakistan, SENA nations may decide to avoid Pakistan, and PCB will be forced to move the matches to any of the GCC nations. And this will result in massive losses for the PCB, as they need to share the revenues with the Emirates Cricket Board, or the Oman Cricket Board. But then they need to take the blame as well. Why there are so many terrorist attacks happening in Pakistan, especially when the foreign players are touring that country.

Congratulations Sri Lanka team won 1 st ODI game.

In the 2nd ODI game, today there is no captain Shaheen Shah Afridi in this match, he is resting and not feeling well that management want him to recover for the next and the final ODI and that is why today here is Salman Ali Agha as the captain and I think it is a good option to try a new captain for this match because he is also leading the team in the T20 team so he knows the way. 

By the way I think Babar Azam or Fakhar Zaman also could be an great option , however today Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah were bowling in the power play before we have seen Shaheen and most of the Naseem Shah and often Muhammad Nawaz.

Abrar Ahmed and Muhammad Nawaz, the spin attack is bowling nicely I think they always go with slip attack and also place fielder at extra slip and since Muhammad Nawaz is bowling on the front foot so batters are looking to play it on the flick side but Pakistan have to stop Sri Lanka from every single run because these are the middle orders and if the batters would set on the pitch or if they reach to 50 then they would be so hard for bowlers when it comes to death overs so instead of defending the runs , they have to attack and try to get wickets.

Will Pakistan be able to score 119 runs in 20 over Will the Pakistan team be able to score 288 runs or not It will be decided soon because the Sri Lankan team has set a target of 288 runs. In the first match they faced failure but it seems that this match is it but at the moment the player who are batting for the Pakistan team are Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam. These two player are talented and best performing players of this team. Both of them scored 171 run. Sam Ayub scored 33 run out of this 171 runs. Fakhar Zaman got up and hit a four in his batting and a six while Babar Azam has not hit any sixes yet. The Sri Lankan team showed a good performance in their batting but no player performed any special run. Everyone achieved this target by making little run. if Sri Lanka want to take revenge for their previous match then they should improve their fielding and bowling.

There is too much chaos created by Indian media about this, but things are normal and coming days are going to be much better because security agencies are doing their work within near future no SENA country is coming to Pakistan which create immediate problem for them.
PCB needed to be strict with their view, and also they needed to be done work on few other options instead of going in the UAE and Oman they are having many venues like Multan and Bahawalpur which can give them good and secure options for cricket playing at home.
Hopefully security could be improved and things will be normal even tension with India and Afghanistan rising, but they can bring strong strategy for handling this.

We see another win of Pakistan team in this series and Pakistan team already win this series and 3 rd last game will play few days later and Pakistan has good chance to wash out Sri Lanka team in this series by winning all games. In today game, Sri Lanka team set 288 runs target in 50 overs by losing 8 wickets. Janith made half century from Sri Lanka team but his half century was not enough to win game and Sri Lanka team lost this game by 8 wickets and 10 balls remaining. Today Babar played lineup so good and he made brilliant century 102 runs in 119 balls and hitted eight 4s. He really deserved player of game award because his contribution in batting was so helpful and outstanding. Fakhar also made great progress with Babar and he made 73 runs in 93 balls and hitted eight 4s and one 6s. Pakistan team beated Sri Lanka team in 2 nd game by 8 wickets and lets see what happens in next game.
