It's good to see Zimbabwe back in icc tournaments, back in 90s and early 2000 they were part of every icc major tournament but now they are rarely seen. ICC has made a positive move this time by including 16 nations in the tournament, now it can be said a worldcup.

When small countries get opportunity to play against the leading teams they'll gain more experience as well as find ways to play in a professional and experienced manner. At times it is possible to see new teams playing good, but all of the sudden the.match used to change completely. They don't know how to withstand those situations. These can be learnt only by playing against the top teams.

Now at top level in this format we have few teams those can create upsets, or we can expect entertaining match from them as we watch recently matches by Ireland against India and now against New Zealand which is good for the purpose of this game and for these players because with this they can take good experience and practice for the game.

Specially this will help good growth in this game which is much needed, but we are now having few franchise leagues which are coming unusually which can create mess up for this, ICC need to bring policy which help them and also bring better revenue and profitable for players as well.

Tamim Iqbal has announced retirement from T20 International Cricket,You will be missed by every Bangladeshi fans & will be remembered as one of the finest batsman of Bangladesh cricket!

He is a senior player of Bangladesh Cricket. Maybe he wants to retire from T20 due to related reasons. Tamim is one of the experienced players in Bangladesh team. It would have been good for the team if he had participated in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Experienced players are much needed in World Cup. As we see Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is also being given opportunities again and again because of the T20 World Cup. Although Tamim is not such type of player but according to the situation of Bangladesh cricket it would be better for Bangladesh cricket if Tamim add to the T20 squad for upcoming T20 World Cup.

Tamim Iqbal was not that too old, just 33 years. He could have played T20I for one or two more years. He has played 78 t20i and scored 1758 runs for Bangladesh with strike rate of 116. Tamim has done his Job for Bangladesh and now its upto New talent to take over.

Tamim Iqbal is not too old. He could easily have continued playing in the T20 format for another 3/4 years. But I don't understand why he is thinking of retiring now. Bangladesh is yet to find a suitable replacement for Tamim Iqbal. There is no good opener in any Bangladesh squad. So if Tamim Iqbal retires now then the Bangladesh team will definitely face a problem. Tamim should be with the team for the next World Cup.

There's no point in calling it off at this point. The hard hitting ability is still there in him. As Bangladeshi cricket lovers, we are very disappointed and saddened by this news. He made a bad decision here, in my opinion. T20 has lost a great sportsman. A great gentleman and one of the best openers in the Bangladesh team. All his life he has been a fantastic cricketer, playing at a time when Bangladesh became a major power.

What I think is that Tamim Iqbal taking a break from T20 right now is not right He is the best opener for Bangladesh team. We consider a team to be good based on its performance.But anyway, I think Tamim Iqbal will not retire early and it will not be right.The decision he has taken should really be discarded.If not, the Bangladesh team will fall further behind.

Tamim Iqbal is one of the best product from Bangladesh in cricket, and he plays some good innings for his country which was honor for player like him and if he announces this then surely we need to respect his decision because he feels in this way which is good for youngsters, and he wants to concentrate on two formats which is also good for him after the worst start of West Indian tour then end in amazing way which is surely a proud moment for Bangladesh cricket now they are second in ODI League table behind England which is another milestone for them.

Even he already announces about retirement from T20i but still he needs to give one favor and if he announces after T-20 world cup this could be better, but he already announces so no one can do anything right now with his decision.

But these do not seem to be very enjoyable for the viewers because generally, these matches are often one-sided. I have to admit that this time it was not like that. Against India, we can probably say that the first one or two matches were a little one-sided. However, the matches against New Zealand were not so much. Ireland actually put up a brave fight and I have to say I was impressed by the performance. I think if they are given more chances like this they will be able to upset a few big teams in the near future. And with the franchise league, I don't think the popularity of cricket is going to have any problems.

If anything the popularity of cricket is going to increase because of franchise cricket. But ICC will have to work to make a proper balance between international cricket and franchise cricket. Since we already see a lot of players missing international duties as a result of playing in the IPL.

Tamim Iqbal is a very nice player. But bangladesh team has always remained in criticism.
If he has done this decision - we must respect his decision.

Maybe in this time he is not very comfortable in the T20 format. Moreover, he was not regular in some session. Many supporters utter that maybe he is not taking the decision by himself it can be imposed. Everything is obscure in this concern. We all know that before some day ago he mentioned his retirement on his Twitter page.

Ireland V New zealand

Despite a good performance, Ireland could not win any ODI match against New Zealand only due to bad luck. They were defeated by just 1 run in the last match. But it seems they will win the first T20 match. Ireland won the toss and took the field. New Zealand are able to collect just 53 runs in 8 overs, but they lost three crucial wickets. I will be happy if Ireland can win. This team is working hard.

New Zealand scored only 65 runs in the first 10 overs. But at the end of 20 overs, they set a huge target of 174. New Zealand scored 44 runs in the last 3 overs. Ireland's bowlers are not experienced. A stronger bowling line-up would have improved Ireland's overall performance. I don't think Ireland can win by 174 runs. New Zealand will win this match as usual.

Your guess is correct. New Zealand won by 31 runs. Ireland's bowlers are not experienced. We see this from the first match of the series. But Ireland's batsmen have played very well in this series. But Ireland's batsmen did not play well in today's match. If Paul Stirling could have played well today, Ireland might have been able to win. Ferguson took 4 wickets for just 14 runs today. He bowled brilliantly.

New Zealand is a great team as compared to the Ireland team - but I am sure the Ireland will get back right up
However - making big teams play with new team is very unfair. The new entries should have matched with the new teams.

Ireland have reached 142 runs against the tough bowling of New Zealand. It is Glenn Phillips that changed the match, if not this match could've gone even closer. The runs that New Zealand managed to score during the last few overs is the turning point. If the score have got stopped within 150 runs the pressure on Ireland players would've come down. Ireland is an emerging team that have got potential players. Recently in a T20 it made the Indian team into a critical situation till the last. Finally India won by 4 runs and Ireland managed to score 221 runs losing 5 wickets. Maybe we can expect similar performance in the next match.

Getting tired with Ireland. When they will start winning matches? Even during the T20 series against India, the same thing happened. There were a few close matches, but eventually they came under pressure and lost. No one will give them any value, if they fail to win matches against top-4 teams. And Ireland has some of the top T20 players in their squad, such as Paul Stirling. Now Harry Tector is also emerging as a world class player. But their bowling remains pretty ordinary, ever since the retirement of Boyd Rankin and Tim Murtagh.

Tamim Iqbal is now the captain of the Bangladesh ODI team. And I think he might now want to focus more on the ODI format. And so he is distancing himself from T20 and Test format. Bangladesh wants to qualify for at least the semi-finals of the upcoming ODI World Cup. And so it's time for Iqbal to do better in the ODI format to make himself more useful for the team.

New Zealand's bowlers are quite experienced. It was not easy to score 174 runs against them. Also opener Paul Stirling did not play well. He was able to collect 13 runs from 16 balls. If Paul Stirling had been able to play well, the result of the match might have been in favor of Ireland. However, these two teams will meet tomorrow in the second T20 match. Hopefully we will see a better performance from Ireland

Bangladesh has done well in ODI format recently. If you check the points table for ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, they are at 2nd position with 12 wins from 18 games. England is ahead of them by just 5 points. Their weak points are T20 and test cricket, and for now we can ignore them. If the main players such as Tamim, Litton, Shakib and Mustafizur remains in form, then I don't think that reaching the semi-finals will be a big hassle for them. Also, the conditions will be familiar for them, as the tournament will take place in India.
