Afghanistan cricket board are crazy and they are clearly doing whatever it takes to destroy the careers of these extremely talented cricketers. I wonder when either of these 3 will ever play again in big tournaments.

Now what will happen if these three players retire from international cricket and concentrate solely on franchise cricket? Afghan cricket board has gone crazy. In tier-2 test nations, it is not that rate to have players skip a handfull of international matches to focus on T20 matches. The board has over-reacted this time, and this is going to be mutually detrimental for both the sides. Are they going to do the same against Rashid Khan as well? They don't have the courage to do something like this to him, so picked up the weak players.

As today's match was tied, the match went to Super Over where the Philippines won the match now they have won 3 matches. With one more match left out of 6 matches, the series is more likely to be a draw. However, it is very difficult to estimate here because the performances of both teams are almost equal. Although their position is new in cricket, they are performing very well. They have also been able to create extreme excitement in the match. Their highest score in this series was 158. According to the ranking, Philippines is lower than Indonesia, but compared to Indonesia, Philippines has done well in this series and it is expected that they will win in the upcoming matches as well.

We have seen that when ever a match goes tie and then it becomes interesting. In a single over both teams show that how they can perform. Just like that Indonesian team made 137 runs and Philippines also made 137 runs and the match went to super over. In the Super over Indonesian team took the first turn and just made 9 runs in the over. But Philippines team was quite fast and they made 10 runs on 3 balls.
And today is the last match between them. So let's see which team will play better. I hope the Philippines will win the series. But the Indonesian team is best.

[Cheema02]

Indonesia is quite a good team because their batting performance in the t20 is up to the point and they mostly play according to the run rate required for them to achieve if they bat first they just looking for their opponent that how they can give big targets, mostly their games are not even of big targets as they are not too old teams but they are yet fighting for their country's representation team to be set on the top.

The final match of T20 series is playing between Indonesia and Philippines. Philippines won the toss and decided to bowl first against Indonesia that a good decision. Indonesia didn't perform well in this match they 8 wickets in just score 102 runs in 18 over. The batting performance of Indonesia is very disappointing both openers  Priandana and Tadarus is out for duck. Only Indonesia Kesuma bastmen played good inning of 31 runs in just 20 balls after 2 quick wickets and helped Indonesia to cross 100 runs total. Now Indonesia will looking to cross 120 plus total against Philippines.

It is going to be a cakewalk for Philippines. Indonesia could make just 123/8, and in return Philippines has made 16/0 from just 1 over. As of now, Philippines is leading the series 3-2, and if they win today that will become 4-2. But I guess Indonesia has more positives to take away from this match. They are an entirely native squad, while Philippines doesn't have any natives. And also, the largest margin of win was achieved by Indonesia. They won the second T20I match by 10 wickets after bowling out Philippines for just 106. BTW, those who want to watch this match can do that using Fancode.

Exactly this is really a bad decision. They are good players. And the mistake is they just decided to play on personal interests. Everyone has the right to play.
By the way their career is now blacked.


Super Smash 5th Match

Canterbury vs Otago
They will play the 5th match of the Super Smash League. If we take a look on bother teams performance so both are equal in performance so this is really difficult to say that which team will this match. Canterbury is looking little bit stronger I am just saying this because of the Net Run Rate. So I hope that Canterbury will win this match.

[Jateng]

The fifth T20 match between Philippines and Indonesia was a breathtaking match. Chasing a target of 138 runs, Indonesia collected 39 runs in seven overs, losing four wickets and under run rate pressure. When Fardinando Banunaek was dismissed for 54 runs in 44 balls, Indonesia fell under pressure. 26 runs were required in the last three overs. ketut Artawan scored 27 runs off 16 balls to almost take the team to the port of victory, needing just two runs from the last three balls but was dismissed on two consecutive balls to take one run off the last ball to send the match into the super over. In the end, Philippines won by one run in the Super Over.

I watch very few tied match in the cricket history and this fifth match between Indonesia vs Philippines was the one I enjoyed to watch. Indonesia deserve this match to win. Effort from both sides was brilliant and no team lost faith of winning. Now Philippines lead with one 3-2 and only one last match remaining which will concluded the result of the series. The chances of Philippines is high but will not easy as both teams have almost equal strength. Indonesia batsmens are weak and haven't any batsmen who could hammer bowlers with quality shots which requires in t20 format.

In 6th T20 Philippines won toss and bowls first Indonesia made 123/8 in 20 overs excellent bowling by Liam Jacob and Amanpreet took 14/2 and 18/2 wickets in 4 overs respectively Philippines chase down the target 127/3 in 12.1 overs brilliant batting by Kulwinderjit singh make 46 runs on just 16 balls with 6 sixes and Henry Tyler 38 runs on 17 balls help his team to won early  aggressive start by Philippines they are 101/2 only in 7 overs. Philippines won this match by 7 wickets and also won this 6 matches series by 4-2 its great victory for Philippines to won a T20 series in Indonesia.

The fact that Indonesia managed to win one-third of the matches against a team that is primarily comprised of Indians and Pakistanis is a good signal. They are one of the nations who have made rapid progress in cricket during the last 5 years or so. Their team is 100% native, and already they have featured in some of the ICC tournaments (such as the 2023 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup). And I am sure that in the next 5 years, they will emerge as one of the strongest associate teams not just in Asia-Pacific, but on a global scale.

Now what will happen if these three players retire from international cricket and concentrate solely on franchise cricket? Afghan cricket board has gone crazy. In tier-2 test nations, it is not that rate to have players skip a handfull of international matches to focus on T20 matches. The board has over-reacted this time, and this is going to be mutually detrimental for both the sides. Are they going to do the same against Rashid Khan as well? They don't have the courage to do something like this to him, so picked up the weak players.

I doubt they have the courage to do the same to their biggest star a.k.a Rashid as you mentioned since that would be a humungous loss for them. Those 3 could end up retiring which would also be a big loss for them. Fools!

By the way their career is now blacked.

They are screwed in international cricket, but they should still be fine when it comes to franchise cricket.

Sydney Sixers Vs Melbourne Stars
And in a short time, the match between Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars is starting at Sydney Cricket Ground. They are second in the points table with three wins from three matches and Sydney Sixers are in good form with good performances from their key bowlers. Melbourne Stars on the other hand are facing some challenges with inconsistency and their two star players are not in good form. Maxwell, one of their star players, will soon find his rhythm and start scoring big. Melbourne Stars have lost three out of three matches. However, at the moment, it appears that Sydney Sixers have a slight advantage over Stars and in my opinion Sixers are favorites in today's match. Based on the current form and performance of both the teams, i think sixers will win this match.

After the impressive performance in World Cup I was feeling now things are going positive for them, and they are going to have good future in white-ball game but their policies and handling of their players like this now creating other level with most chances we can have another West Indies type model cricket here where mostly players will go against their own board and try their all luck and energy for the Franchise cricket which is surely going to have better future for them in all ways.

Even these all are too early but now with this first drop from Afghanistan Cricket Board now my mind-set is completely changed about their future in this game, and we have to wait for the more reaction how others will go with this punishment for their fellow players and what will be consequences happen for both parties.

They need to admit the reality of international cricket. Nowadays players get a lion's share of their salary from franchise T20 leagues. Smaller boards such as the ACB and WICB can't compete with global leagues, which are owned by billionaires. There should be a balance between the two. But here, ACB's approach is wrong. They should not go into confrontational mode. Whatever they are getting is due to the players. If the players just retire, then in all probability they will lose the full member status as well.

Afghan cricket is still in its early stage and don't have the grassroot structure like that of west indies. This generation was the first set of naturally talented players.
With all the politics, controversies and economic problems, they'd be unable to produce younger talents and the cricket would lag behind when this set of team retires.
This has occurred to many teams like west indies and Sri Lanka which unlike Afghanistan, still have financial incentive to keep on operating local level framework.

Based on the current form and performance of both the teams, i think sixers will win this match.

The game has already started and the first innings is almost over. Sydney Sixers are batting first in this match and they scored 148 runs for 7 wickets in 19.3 overs.They still have three balls to go in their innings and maybe they can make 155 or 157.
I will favor Melbourne Stars in this match as they have some good batting in their team especially Maxwell, Marquis Stonis they are both great players. If one of them shines today, Melbourne Stars will win easily.

Big bash League, Melbourne star won the toss and first decided bowling. Sydney sixers batsman makes 5 run in 1 over and Melbourne star no any wicket against Sydney sixers batsman. Melbourne star bowler out the Sydney sixers batsman in the second ball of the 4 over. This is the first achievement for Melbourne star team. Once time again Melbourne star bowler out he Sydney sixers batsman in the last ball of the 5 over. This is the second achievement for Melbourne star team. Sydney sixers batsman makes 57 run in 10 over and 4 outs. Sydney sixers batsman could not worked hard and struggle. Sydney sixers batsman makes 155 run in 20 over and 8 outs. This is the target for melbourne star batsman. This is the easy target. Now let's see Melbourne star can complete this target.

The final match of T20 series is playing between Indonesia and Philippines. Philippines won the toss and decided to bowl first against Indonesia that a good decision. Indonesia didn't perform well in this match they 8 wickets in just score 102 runs in 18 over. The batting performance of Indonesia is very disappointing both openers  Priandana and Tadarus is out for duck.

As of now, Philippines is leading the series 3-2, and if they win today that will become 4-2. But I guess Indonesia has more positives to take away from this match.

They won the second T20I match by 10 wickets after bowling out Philippines for just 106. BTW, those who want to watch this match can do that using Fancode.

Amazing performance by Philippines won this match by 7 wickets and won the series by 4-2. Philippines chase down this easy target 124 runs in loss of just 3 wickets in 12.1 overs. Kulwinderjit Singh and Henry Tyler scored 38 rins in 17 balls both played good inning and win match for his team easly. From Indonesia onlu Ketut Edi Guna Artawan show fight against Philippines picked 3 important wicktes by giving 18 runs only. The Player of the Match is Kulwinderjit Singh from Philippines for his amazing batting performances scored 46 runs in just 16 balls, unfortunately missed his fastes fifty by 4 runs short.

The match of team has been started between HOBAT HURRICANES and MELBOURNE RENEGADES. MELBOURNE has played the first betting and give a target of 184 scores and second live match has been started in which Hobart has 96 runs, one player is out in 10 overs. According to present conditions of match I think Hobart will win the match because 88 runs are requires in 60 balls. Mathew played well and attained 69 runs and still his betting is start.

In today game, Hobart Hurricanes team get a chance for decide bat or bowl and Hobart Hurricanes chose field first. Melbourne Renegades team set 183 target by losing 5 wickets but this team failed to protect target and lost this game by 6 balls and 6 wickets. M.Wadw batsman scored 83 runs in 50 balls and he hitted nine 4s and three 6s. He dismissed from pitch by K.Richardson. M.Wright batsman scored 63 balls in 36 balls and he hitted five 4s and five 6s and this batman also dismissed and showed brilliant effort in batting. One more game was concluded today and Sidney Thunder won this game by 5 wickets and 10 balls left.

Canterbury Women lost today's match against Otago Women's. Poppy Jay Watkins is the player of the match, she played very well, she took 2 wickets and gave just 8 runs. She took the wickets of  FL Mackay and Fatima Sana.

When Fatima Sana was out so her team run was 88 and this was the third wicket that was taken on the 16th over, and when  FL Mackay was out so her team score was 60 and it was a second wicket that was held on 12 over. She played very well.

The Player of the Match is Kulwinderjit Singh from Philippines for his amazing batting performances scored 46 runs in just 16 balls, unfortunately missed his fastes fifty by 4 runs short.

It is not a fair battle. Philippines had several players from test nations such as India and Pakistan, who had earlier played either first-class or club cricket in their respective countries. On the other hand, Indonesia had homegrown players, with no such exposure. So players such as Kulwinderjit Singh were able to score easily against the inexperienced bowlers from Indonesia. But all that said, Indonesia should be proud of the fact that they managed to win two of the matches. They are on an upward trajectory, and we will hear a lot more about them in the coming years.

One more game was concluded today and Sidney Thunder won this game by 5 wickets and 10 balls left.

Sophie Oldershaw took just one wicket which was the wicket of KG Anderson, and this is a huge wicket because she was out early otherwise she could have done something that couldn't be saved by Otago so that's why this is very good that she out early, she just played four overs and then she was out and she also made 24 runs.

That was the first wicket that was taken by Otago and this wicket fell on 6.3 overs when her team run was 33. The wicket of her is very important.

Bangladesh VS New Zealand 1st T-20

Bangladesh vs New Zealand ODI series ended, Bangladesh lost the series 2-1. We have seen that Bangladesh's performance in the first two matches was not very good, but in the second match, Bangladesh performed brilliantly which resulted in an easy win. Anyway tomorrow is going to be the first match of T20 series. Not much changes have been made in the Bangladesh squad, Rony Talukder and Shamim Hossain have been added to the squad. Bangladesh is much weaker than New Zealand in T20. New Zealand batting and bowling line is much better than Bangladesh. Also New Zealand will be playing on home soil so New Zealand will get more support. I think Bangladesh will not be able to win T20 series. But we hope Bangladesh will try to play well. Do you think, Bangladesh can win against New Zealand in New Zealand's home soil?
