T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[repear7]

I never had the doubt that this T20 series would be a whitewash. Indian team has been performing exceptionally well under the captainship of Rohit Sharma. Not to forget some consistent and agressive batting from Shreyas Iyer too. Ravindra Jadeja has gained his lost form and Ishan Kishan also proved why he is now the highest paid player in IPL. Next ODI series with Srilanka and I hope that the India team performs in the same manner.

First, after a long time, India is back in form. More importantly, the top order players have been able to play well. That is why India has won every match. They were out of form for a long time. Because they were not in the form of top order batsmen. If India's top order is able to play well in the ODI series then maybe we will see the same result again. India will win all the matches.

-

If India's top order can play well, they have the ability to win by batting against any target. All the players on the team are very talented. They got a chance in the national team by proving their qualifications. In all the matches of the T20 series, we have seen the dominance of Indian batsmen. If they do not lose form again, India will win the Test series as usual.

India has always been the better batting side and they have always liked to chase. Only in recent times do we see India having really good fast bowlers and spinners. So now they are also comfortable depending. Batting has always been a great asset for Indian cricket and office leave the players can be out of form from time to time but that doesn't mean the batting of the whole team is not good.

Anyway, the batsmen seem to be in the form right now and problems seem to be solved for now.

I like your words. All the players in India work hard. Especially Virat koheli, Rohit, Bumra are all in a very good position. In 2022, there will be T20 again. Organizing IPL to prepare them better before going there. I think some of the better players will be called up from this year's IPL. And so I can say that it will be very difficult for India to win all the other teams.

Lahore needed this win. The final was held in Lahore and there was no better way to win the first PSL title for Lahore qalandar at Lahore.

Apart from the win, we are very happy to successfully conduct the full tournament in Pakistan. It's not a win for Multan or Lahore, its a win for PAKISTAN.

congrats to Qalandars. I was supporting Multan Sultan. The way they were going I like many thought they will pick the trophy this time again. But Lahore Qalandars proved it wrong. The Shaheen Shah Afridi led Qalandars is the the only team left that has not won the competition title since the Pakistan super league started in 2016. Last time Qalandars lost to Karachi Kings the only final they played in 2020.

In 2022, Lahore lifted the trophy. So now all PSL teams have won title at-least once.  

That's unexpected performance from Qalanders, because it was Sultans to top the table with a single defeat. Anyhow this was an interesting season of PSL than the previous seasons. As said in the above quote it isn't the win for Qalanders or Sultans, if is the win for Pakistan conducting a world class cricket league.

Now it's time for Pakistan to get ready for the test series against Australia which is under big expectation from cricket enthusiasts.

I was following the news and got to know Australian Teams are getting threats too like New Zealand team. But Aussis  have show great confidence on the Pakistani arrangements and people seem so excited on the new era of cricket with will happen after 24 years. Sports have always been used to promote peace.
 Good Luck to both the team.

Now it's time for Pakistan to get ready for the test series against Australia which is under big expectation from cricket enthusiasts.

It's a big event for Pakistan and they are giving everything to secure this tour. Since PCB knows that if this tour went well then rest of the countries will come to Pakistan without any fear. Sport is a medium to promote peace. And peace is very much needed during this time. We need to see real sport and for this series I will go with Pakistan to win this contest since they badly need victory over Australia.
On the other hand Aus are also looking to continue there winning streak that started from Ashes.

Indian team is facing some turbulence after Virat Kohli was kicked out for nepotism and favoritism. The entire team is divided in to two camps - one supporting Kohli and the other that doesn't. The Kohli camp is trying hard to protect the players in their camp. For example, Hardik Pandya was persisted in the team for many years despite not performing up to the mark. Players like Venkatesh Iyer, drafted in as the replacement for Hardik are not given enough chances to showcase their skills. All this is having an impact on the performance.

Rather than nepotism and favouritism, the team is full of politics. This is common with Indian team, earlier it was with Dhoni. In particular how this politics is being made is from the senior players. The senior players used to give pressure to the board that one player from their association must be there in the team. This means from Mumbai Cricket Association there needs to be a player, whether he performs or not is secondary. This is how the board seems to operate.

This is main strong point with current Indian team now they have very good finances system and just because of this politics is also had too much influence in this all and every one want to go with his own ego and policies which is hurting very badly them in last few years. Dhoni and now Virat Kohli both done very good jobs, but both were doing some own favoritism as well, but this is not going to stop because most management is coming from political background, and they like to have their own peoples in system which need many bad and good selections as well.

Right now tough competition is between Maharashtra and Bengal because these factors are had very big influence and these both were agreed for Kohli but now these both require their own choices which is not easy with just 11 players to be in team if they are not able to settle this all then surely they are going to have very bad impact in overall in near future.

It's an open secret that Dhoni had his own set of preferred players, such as Raina, Ashwin, Jadeja and Harbhajan. However, he never gave these players any relaxation as far as selection criteria is considered. If they were performing poorly, they were dropped immediately. On the other hand, Kohli made his own set of players like Hardik, Siraj, Saini, Chahal.etc and he persisted with these players even when they were performing poorly. Only in Kohli's case the personal preference crept in to selection. Against Dhoni, you can never make such an accusation.

Bangladesh VS Afghanistan
The first T20 match will be played today. In total 2 matches will be played and if Bangladesh wants to win the series they need to win both the matches. Afghanistan has proven in the ODI series that they can become a spoil sport and that they do have the capability to defeat Bangladesh.

[laurenB7742]

Bangladesh   -   Afghanistan

Bangladesh will play the first match of the T20 series today after a 2-1 win in the ODI series against Afghanistan. Even if Bangladesh wins the ODI series, I will keep Afghanistan ahead in T20 format. Afghan players are very experienced for this format. They perform in various franchise leagues almost all year round, so they are more experienced than Bangladeshi players. The match will be played in Mirpur, and we know that the pitch in Mirpur is more supportive of the spinners. Afghanistan has some world-class spinners in the team.

Out of 7 T20Is played between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, 4 are Won by Afghanistan while Bangladesh only manage to win 2 T20Is. This shows how strong Afghanistan is in T20 format. Though Afghanistan lost the ODI series but they proved to be equally good as Bangladesh. I do agree that there players like Muhammad Nabi and Rashid play T20 leagues throughout the year and thats why Afghanistan have edge in T20 format.

Anyway, the batsmen seem to be in the form right now and problems seem to be solved for now.

I also feel one of the reason why team India now is performing better is because of the change in the coaching, and the freedom given by current captain Rohit to Iyer and Jadeja which is further giving them huge dividends. Lastly I feel that ex Indian captain Virat immediately needs to perform, or he’ll be out of the team became there’re so many talented player’s waiting to play in the playing 11.

I agree that the change of coaching has certainly played its part in the recent success of India. I actually like their current approach. The connection between the board and the players seems to be much more fluent at this moment. About Virat Kohli, I don't know if it's the correct decision to drop him from the team quickly because he is obviously one of the best cricketers in the world.

I like your words. All the players in India work hard. Especially Virat koheli, Rohit, Bumra are all in a very good position. In 2022, there will be T20 again. Organizing IPL to prepare them better before going there. I think some of the better players will be called up from this year's IPL. And so I can say that it will be very difficult for India to win all the other teams.

I think at the moment the problems that India has are being fixed and they are on the right track. The Indian players are certainly a lot more hard-working now. In the past, we have seen the Indian team not being the most fit. But now that's not a problem for India. I think that Virat Kohli is going to work hard and get back into his form and then India is going to be a much more destructive team.

First T20I is underway in Mirpur b/w Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Bangladesh has given target of 155 runs after winning the toss. Litton Das 60 runs on 44 balls were main reason why Bangladesh gave such competitive target, Afif was second high scorer 25 runs of 24 balls. other then that there is no noticeable performance from any Bangladesh batsmen. Target is very much in reach of Afghanistan if they play sensibly.

Bangladesh is in a very good position they have already taken 3 wickets for just 16 runs scored by Afghanistan. When Bangladesh scored just 155 runs I thought this match will be easily won by Afghanistan but now it seem Bangladesh is going to win this match without much effort. Good comeback by the Bangladeshi side.

Kohli should forget about nepotism or favoritism and concentrate on his own game and try to upgrade it. Otherwise, he might be thrown out of the team as well.

Doesn't matter that he is the best player in the world. If we cannot perform he is of no use to the team. And these certain problems have to be solved because otherwise as you said it's going to have a really bad effect on the team. A lot of good and potential players are going to be in danger.

Kohli has many BCCI representative who are a fantastic admirer of his batting and his commitment to Indian cricket. Those individuals are trying their level best for him to stay within the team as he can only break all those records created by Sachin. Dehli cricket board and Mumbai cricket board have always been against each other. If I am correct Madanlal the chief selector is from the Delhi cricket board. He will always select him into the Indian side no matter how he performs. Those admirers will always use his past performance as an example for him to stay in the team. UP cricket board will do same as they cannot exist without Delhi. Rohit Sharma the Indian captain comes from UP.

Bangladesh is in a very good position they have already taken 3 wickets for just 16 runs scored by Afghanistan. When Bangladesh scored just 155 runs I thought this match will be easily won by Afghanistan but now it seem Bangladesh is going to win this match without much effort. Good comeback by the Bangladeshi side.

Bangladesh scored pretty good run by batting first. Because, it isn't easy to chase run like that in this pitch condition. See the the run chasing history in Mirpur cricket stadium to know about it. Afghanistan bowlers bowled well in first few overs, but Bangladeshi batsman played better in the middle overs of the first innings. Eventually, it was an easy victory for Bangladesh. Nasum Ahmed made it easy for them by taking some early wickets.

A dominating total from Bangladesh then sensational spell of bowling over Afghanistan gives Bangladesh the series' First T-20 win. The bowling department put in a very good performance; I have to give them credit for that. I am very impressed with the Bangladesh bowling department. In the first T20I, they won by 61 runs to take a 1-0 series lead. It will be interesting to follow the series.

[repear7]

Today is a great match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Rashid Khan said in a press conference that he does not care about Bangladesh. Bangladesh retaliated. Nasum and Liton Das played very well. Bangladesh is winning for them. Bangladesh scored 155 runs in 20 overs while Afghanistan was all out for 94 runs. Congratulations to all the players of Bangladesh.

It was Bangladesh day today as they won the toss and opted to bat first. Litton 60 was the deciding factor in today's game, apart from Litton no one was able to score high runs today. In reply Afghanistan batting collapsed, Nasum Ahmed picked 4 of top 5 batsmen. Afghanistan can only draw T20 series now.

[Haunebu]

Kohli should forget about nepotism or favoritism and concentrate on his own game and try to upgrade it. Otherwise, he might be thrown out of the team as well.

I disagree. I don't think the BCCI will ever throw a legend like Kohli out even though he has been under-performing for a long time now primarily because of his experience and his batting skills.

Weird thing is that another legendary batsman(Smith) has also been under-performing for sometime. Both of them need to recover their form quickly.

The way Bangladesh started their innings, I thought they would not be able to collect more than 130 runs. But with the help of responsible batting of Liton and Afifa, Bangladesh scored 155 runs. This run was enough to win against a team like Afghanistan on such a pitch. Nasum Ahmed's devastating bowling then saw Afghanistan lose all their wickets for just 94 runs.

After ODI series now in twenty/20 Bangladesh are going to do same business they are not allowing Afghanistan to have any better chance for giving them tough time first in batting done very good job with the help of Litton Das' 60 they manage very good score 155 then Nasum Ahmad and Shoriful Islam done very spirited job in bowling and give no chance to any Afghani batsmen as he gives them any challenge and bowled out them in double-digit 94.

After watching first match now I have feeling they can whitewash them in this format because it's really great work from them in bowling and batting and Afghani team have no answer for their very good performance just Rashid Khan done something good at bowling otherwise all were very poor in both departments.
