T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

Australia, England and Newzealand are the top 3 teams in women T20 ranking. Indian women team is ranked fourth on that list. Yes, a long way to go but definitely not a bad start for women cricket. Give them a few more years and they would also be ranking on the top and then you can thank the WIPL. Even though India women lost the home series but they were able to pull crowd to the stadium. Which was very rare earlier all thanks to the commendable performance by the girls in the last few years.

Yeah.. one of the positives have been the massive crowds that the series managed to attract. 45,238 people attended the second T20I match between Indian women and Australian women, which was staged at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Ashleigh Gardner of Australia also described the crowd as the second largest she has ever witnessed. What we need is continued support from the BCCI. I have a feeling that the focus from BCCI is still not there, despite all the big talk about pay parity and starting the WIPL.

The popularity of women's cricket has increased tremendously. Women's cricket can also create a lot of excitement these days. However, India is in the leading position in men's cricket, but lags behind in women's cricket. However, there is no dearth of their interest and enthusiasm. India and Australia women's cricket series however suffered a major defeat for India. But they have also learned a lot from this series. Overall I think women's cricket has improved a lot. Australia Women's team in particular deserves praise for the devastating performance they gave after the fall of the 4th wicket yesterday against India. I have never seen such a batting performance in women's cricket before.

India vs Australia women's cricket match Australia won massively.  Because India boys are far ahead in cricket but Indian women are not so far ahead in cricket compared to Australia.  The Australian boys are far ahead and the women are in very good form.  Australia's Gardner scored 66 off 32 balls and Grace Harris scored 64 off 35 balls.  These two players brought Australia to victory and they scored half-centuries.  But Australia is in very good form in these two games.

BCCI in my opinion are not releasing any updates because they are busy preparing the framework. Knowing them they would try to make this league also a money minting league. They won't be able to achieve it from the first year but they know as the popularity grows the money will flow. So the focus would be more on advertising more about WIPL before the league starts.

I believe BCCI is not under any delusion of a money-minting league regarding WIPL. They even scrapped the fixed base price recently, things are moving forward in the background surely and atm they are waiting for the Franchises response. Also, Men's IPL auction is scheduled in the next couple of days, so obviously, this will take center stage for now.

Coming back to yesterday's match. At one point I really thought our girls are going to pull it off but we got belted again by the Gardner-Grace duo.

Brisbane heat vs Melbourne Renegades
Brisbane heat chose to bat first and gave a normal target of 137 runs on 8 wickets.  Clearly this is an easily target to chase Melbourne Renegades has lost 5 wickets so far and made 93 runs. They need 45 runs on 29 balls which is easy indeed.

Uganda Women vs Kenya Women The final game between these two teams has started today. Kenya Women batted first and gave the target of 81 runs to Uganda Women. I understand from the game that Uganda Women will win this match very easily. But I think Uganda Women have a great performance in bowling.  Because of this, Kenya Women's batsmen could not score many runs.

I think right now, the BCCI has understood that they need to give women’s IPL the recognition, and money that they need. Actually, I am happy that they have realized women’s IPL should be happening.

If women’s IPL had already happened a few times, I believe right now the Indian women’s cricket team would have been at the same level as Australia's and England's women’s teams. But that did not happen. If the BCCI was not so much ignorant of the potential that the Indian women’s cricket team has, probably they wouldn’t have lost against Australia in the series.

I don't think they are still having any understanding about this because they are mostly looking for their profit which is not coming in this WIPL, so they are bringing changes which is surely confusing political influence and lack of professionalism is surely hurting badly they need to be like Cricket Australia or ECB because they are doing amazing things for their both formats and having amazing stuff here we are already late for nearly 5 to 7 years and things are going more complicated because right now focus is again IPL drafting which is coming soon and most chances they are going to be done things after sometime which mean they can start this all late which is surely not positive thing.
 
Even recent bilateral series between India vs Australia give them positive indications, but they are still having no things which are needed for the quick work from them BCCI is surely having tag of one of biggest and richest cricketing board, but their mindset is still far behind their competitors like Australia and England.

IPL 2023 auctions are about to start soon people and I am excited because of returning players like Ben Stokes etc. So many other big names like Curran, Greene etc will most probably attract intense bidding.

Am hoping to see new talent get more opportunities this time around due to the new BCCI chairman who seems to be doing a better job than Ganguly currently.

Technology doing amazing stuff for this all so with this now we can generate big amounts and games can take good advantage of this all because right now mostly peoples love to watch at home or having different platforms which are surely increasing day by day and media rights are also having their impact on games as well so for me this is surely one of the best opportunity for the BCCI to have started this and try even they can face few issues in first two or three years, but surely they will be turned into positive after this period but for this surely they have taken bold decisions and bring this idea into reality because if they are not going with positive mindset and have into immediate decisions then surely this could be another big below for them in near future.

Actually, I don’t think it is a good idea to blame the BCCI for everything. Because after all, they will have to look at where to money is going to come from. And if they are trying to host a tournament that is not going to be beneficial for them, they are obviously going to think a lot before actually hosting it.

That is what has been happening with the women’s IPL. They are very concerned that they might not be able to generate enough revenue. That is why they have been delaying the women’s IPL. I am quite sure that they still do not believe they are going to get enough revenue. But they are doing it anyway just so that the situation of women’s cricket in India does improve.

I understand from the game that Uganda Women will win this match very easily. But I think Uganda Women have a great performance in bowling.  Because of this, Kenya Women's batsmen could not score many runs.

Uganda women team did a great performance they won that match with holding 6 wickets in hand.Kenyan women can't really stand up to the Ugandan women's bowling. Kenya women's team batting side is much weaker from Uganda  if we look back to today's match we will able to see that their top order to lower order batwomen's they are faild to score and they stuck at only 81 run . I think if they can't improve their batting side then I think the result of today's match will continue for the next match also

Bad news coming in from Pakistan. Now it is confirmed that Rameez Raja will be removed as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board. The name of Najam Sethi has been recommended by Pakistan prime minister Shehbaz Sharif. I don't think that this is a positive step by any means. PCB will be back to the old ways if Rameez is removed. I don't have a good opinion about Shehbaz and his cronies as they are famous for nepotism and corruption. Rameez was doing an excellent job, but probably PCB doesn't deserve someone like him.

Najam Sethi is close to the Sharif family and that is one of the reason he is again being appointed as the PCB chairman. When you mix politics with the game the game only suffers and that is what is happening to Pakistani cricket. If you look back in the past when Najam Sethi was the chaiman he practically did nothing whereas Rameez Raja was much better as he was able to convince International teams to play in Pakistan.

I had no idea that women in Uganda and Kenya played cricket. I looked at ICC's Oman ranking site and it lists 53 countries for T20 with Uganda and Kenya ranked 21st and 22nd. It must be acknowledged that cricket has changed. Kenya women team set a target of 80 runs to Uganda women team where Uganda women team lost 4 wickets to win the match. Since both teams are new, some of those aspects show up in their game. If they continue to play, they may be able to rise up gradually in the coming days. Undoubtedly, ICC's initiatives will bring good results. If the teams included in the list play cricket regularly then cricket can improve quickly.

Well.. I guessed. Never had a good opinion about Najam Sethi in the first place. PCB went through a lot of turmoil when he was in power. It was Rameez who cleaned up the board, convinced foreign teams to play in Pakistan and improved the financial situation. With new administrators in place, it is going to be a few months of turbulence in Pakistani cricket. I want to see how the new proposals such as the Pakistan Junior League and the WPSL fare under the new chairman. These were dream projects of Rameez.

Those new projects will go as planned but might stop after a year or so due to financial issue. When Najam Sethi was the chairman a lot of favouritism was done on selection. Unwanted & unusual spending were also made. He will again do the same as a chairman of PCB. I still believe Ramiz Raja should have been given some more time. Losing a test series and talking sometimes talking nonsense to media doesn't mean he was bad for the future of cricket in Pakistan.

I had a lot of expectation from PJL and WPSL. But the elevation of Najam Sethi casts doubt about the continuation of these leagues. The above mentioned leagues are not very profitable and were designed by Rameez Raja when he was the PCB chairman. Najam Sethi doesn't care much about cricket and he is money minded. I don't know whether he will allow these leagues to function. It is a big loss to Pakistan cricket. Sethi will ruin Pakistani cricket and after a few years once again PCB will get some scapegoat like Rameez. The cycle will go on.

Who is Ramiz Raja that is not the fact. What is important his development in recent times. I will corroborate that he has brought a lot of changes in Pakistan cricket in a short span of time. But his sudden departure could be more of a downfall than a boost for Pakistan cricket. Changing that position for a series loss or two doesn't seem very logical. Pakistan are quite ahead in cricket but the position they have failed in several tournaments is hard to accept. First they failed in the final of the Asia Cup and also failed in the final of the T20 World Cup. Now again the loss in Test and cricket is forcing them to make big changes.

WPSL and PJL were Ramiz Raja propositions and ideas and as we know when the chairman is changed no one works on the ideas of previous chairman , najam sethi is elected and selected totally in political basis otherwise nothing was wrong with Ramiz Raja  he was good for our cricket and Pakistan's team have achieved alot in his tenure.  Just he was strict in his dealings and extremely vocal about that which was not good for Pakistan politics.
