T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Muhammad Amir quite a costly spell in this Match gave to much runs but at the last over they successfully defended the 12 runs and Pakistan won by just a few runs. Pakistan needs to improve its batting performance if they perform well in the next T20 World Cup.

Outstanding performance by New Zealand in this series. They made Pakistan work hard to level this series which was played on there home ground. Eight bowlers were used by Babar Azam to bowl 20 overs, only Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam didn't participated in bowling. Usama Mir finally had some impressive figures in T20I while Shaheen picked 4 wickets. Though series is levelled but Pakistan need to think why they were not able to beat New Zealand team who is without it's key players.

Shaheen Shah Afridi showcased an impressive bowling performance. Captaincy played a crucial role, and Afridi's bowling was leading Pakistan to victory. However, leveling the series against a New Zealand team without its key players isn't a significant achievement. Failing to secure a series win at home against a weakened opposition raises concerns for Pakistan. Throughout the series, this New Zealand's team posed challenges, exposing Pakistan's shortcomings, including a lack of batting depth, poor fielding, and a bowling unit that struggles under pressure.

I think not only Shaheen Afridi but the whole of the Pakistan team did a good show in yesterday's match. Here is how  

First of all, Babar Azam and Saim Ayub made a partnership but Saim Ayub was out early then Babar Azam started to make a partnership with Usman Khan and for sure Babar Azam said to him that stand with me we can make good runs because Usman Khan was taking singles or doubles and trying to hit balls and also giving chances to Babar Azam.

The first three balls of the over were played by Usman Khan and later Babar Azam played the last three balls of the over which helped to Pakistan very much because Babar Azam was hitting very good runs, but when Usman Khan was out then Babar Azam started to do the same with Fakhar Zaman. In short, it were small partnerships and Baber standing at one end, which help Pakistan made a good total.

When Iftikhar was out then from somewhere it was a good decision, not decision but it was good all over because after his wicket Shadab Khan came to bat and also Iftikhar couldn't make runs. When Shadab Khan came so we saw sixes and fours in a row but also when Shadab Khan came then Fakhar Zaman was out in the hunger of six. Anything happened at day before yesterday night was good for Pakistan even in that there was a loss of Pakistan but that worked in a good way. This match was such a good match and Pakistan won the match with 9 runs.

Yesterday, Babar Azam was out in Yorker and that Yorker was such a hardest yorker ever to play. Inside yorker, if Babar Azam could hit that ball with his bat then for sure it could be out because there is no chance to be save their wicket with that ball.

However today our Bengal Tiger Mustafizur Rahman also took two wickets but he had less econ than others.  My regret is where this performance of Mustafizur Rahman goes when he plays for the national team for Bangladesh.

The icon players of Bangladesh perform quite well in foreign premier leagues but when they return to the national team of Bangladesh, their performance becomes so bad that most of the matches see them being called golden ducks.
Just like Mustafizur Rahman has bowled a firestorm in IPL but when he returns to Bangladesh National Team, Mustafizur Rahman's performance is very bad here as Bangladeshi supporters we have no end of sorrow and regret.
However, Mustafizur Rahman probably feels more comfortable in IPL, that's why he can bowl comfortably there, but in Bangladesh, he feels a lot of pressure in the natural team, that's why he can't do much bowling performance.

I have to disagree with you on this.Mustafizur Rahman's bowling performance is fine but currently Bangladesh captains cannot implement him properly. Check out the bowling performance of Mustafizur Rahman in 2017 when Mashrafe bin Mortaza was the captain of Bangladesh team. During that time he bowled well in every match he played and even cuter and swing well in every over which made it difficult for the batsmen to play those balls.You say Mustafizur is comfortable playing in IPL yes it is right but our country captain should remember Mustafizur is usually a death over bowler. Mustafizur can bowl well if he bowls on slow wickets and the Chennai captain has been able to use him properly in this year's of the Indian Premier League. Due to which he is second in the list of highest wicket takers with equal number of wickets to Jasprit Bumrah despite playing one less match.

Today we have KKR vs DC and tbh I can't believe DC is still in play-offs race. Jake Fraser coming into the team has changed fate of the team with his top of the class fielding and batting. Hopefully, they send Shaw as opener along with Fraser, instead of Porel who played stupid last time, Porel is fine as lower order batter, let him stay there.

SRH should be embarassed of their horrendous performances in recent times. They keep losing by big margins which has brought down their NRR drastically and helped provide big boosts to NRR of teams like CSK.

They still are the most entertaining side of this season for me and I loved their crazy records, but it looks like they might not even make it to the playoffs at this rate.

I think not only Shaheen Afridi but the whole of the Pakistan team did a good show in yesterday's match. Here is how  

First of all, Babar Azam and Saim Ayub made a partnership but Saim Ayub was out early then Babar Azam started to make a partnership with Usman Khan and for sure Babar Azam said to him that stand with me we can make good runs because Usman Khan was taking singles or doubles and trying to hit balls and also giving chances to Babar Azam.

In short, it were small partnerships and Baber standing at one end, which help Pakistan made a good total.

Saim Ayub has been given too many chances in T20I and he is yet to score a fifty despite the fact he came as an opener. In his fifteen T20I innings, he has scored 219 runs with an average of 14.60. It's time for Pakistan team to let him play domestic cricket and try some new opener who can score runs for the team. T20 World Cup is coming up and if Pakistan can't beat New Zealand second-tier team then what they will go against full strength teams.

If Pakistan played well in the overs between 7 to 13 where the situation calmed down then they could make a huge score and for the middle order, there must be a player who can maintain the innings and others starting to look for the boundaries.

The captain of the Pakistan team, Baber Azam, also admitted in the post match conference that they struggled during the 7 to 10 over.




Babar Azam was playing yesterday night with aggression because, at any time, he would not hit the boundary on the shot or cannot make double to single then he was showing aggression and it seemed like Babar Azam wanted to hit the century but he wanted to make 100 just because in the last some matches of this series, he was not playing that is why he was playing fast yesterday but he played very well.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bat first but after losing wickets at the start, Delhi Capitals are under a lot of pressure. Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers bowled aggressively from the start due to which Delhi Capitals batsmen could not score good runs. Delhi Capitals current score is 71 runs for four wickets with 8 overs to play. Looking at the current state of play of Delhi Capitals, it seems that if the batsmen of Delhi Capitals can bat well, they can give a target of 170 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders. If Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers can restrict Delhi Capitals batsmen to 170 runs then Kolkata Knight Riders will win easily.

Delhi Capitals are going to bat in the first innings and with their batting performance today, it might be difficult for them to score 140 runs. Although Kolkata Knight Riders are currently bowling well which has put Delhi Capitals under pressure, Kolkata are more likely to win today's match. The way Delhi Capitals are losing wickets at the moment, they might be all out very soon. Having lost 7 wickets for just 101 runs, they don't have the batsmen to hold the game in their hands, that's why I think their performance in today's match is zero. Although comparatively Delhi Capitals are still at par with Kolkata Knight Riders in terms of points, but due to today's game, Delhi are much worse. The players of Kolkata Knight Riders are bowling great in the match, their bowling line is great today. And I can confirm that Kolkata Knight Riders will be able to win today's match very easily and win by a huge margin and increase the points.

in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir.

Outstanding performance by New Zealand in this series. They made Pakistan work hard to level this series which was played on there home ground. Eight bowlers were used by Babar Azam to bowl 20 overs, only Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam didn't participated in bowling. Usama Mir finally had some impressive figures in T20I while Shaheen picked 4 wickets. Though series is levelled but Pakistan need to think why they were not able to beat New Zealand team who is without it's key players.

Shaheen Shah Afridi showcased an impressive bowling performance. Captaincy played a crucial role, and Afridi's bowling was leading Pakistan to victory. However, leveling the series against a New Zealand team without its key players isn't a significant achievement. Failing to secure a series win at home against a weakened opposition raises concerns for Pakistan. Throughout the series, this New Zealand's team posed challenges, exposing Pakistan's shortcomings, including a lack of batting depth, poor fielding, and a bowling unit that struggles under pressure.

In short, it were small partnerships and Baber standing at one end, which help Pakistan made a good total.

Yup you are right. Pakistan won the match and this is the great achievement for Pakistan team. I think I have seen many times that Saim Ayub plays in a hurry and gets out.  But he is also a theoretically good batsman.  Babar Azam scored 69 runs off 44 balls and performed well.  And Usman scored 31 runs on 24 balls, Usman also did not perform so well.  But 31 runs were scored.  Pakistan has performed well this time.  And mostly in this the bowler has toiled and struggled.  Because the target of 178 for New Zealand was not that difficult.  But Pakistan's bowler worked hard and struggled to make this target difficult and won by 9 runs.  If only one New Zealand batsman was left, they could have won the match.  Because 9 runs were needed off 4 balls.  So they could make it.  But they failed in that.And the Pakistan team will hold their head high by winning this match.  There will be hope from the Pakistan team.  That they should perform well in the next matches like this match.

Delhi Capitals team performed very poorly in this match, as the players of Kolkata Knight Riders team are very experienced. Usually under the pressure of the bowling they are performing badly, Kolkata Knight Riders team can easily win this match. In this match, Kolkata Knight Riders team is very ahead in terms of bowling, because of the bowling, Delhi Capitals team batting is facing a lot of wickets. With Delhi Capitals scoring 136 runs and 8 wickets in 17 overs so far, Kolkata Knight Riders will definitely be more likely to win this match. Because it will never be possible to keep the Kolkata Knight Riders team under pressure with a target of very few runs.

Delhi looks cooked tonight and it appears they already lost the match and might end up boosting KKR's run rate for the final run.

Atm their best bet would be to play their 20 overs quota and try reaching the 150 mark and if Dew is not there then hope, their spinners also get a similar purchase from the pitch as Chakaravarthy.

Yeah. It looks like they will end up going above 150 which actually seems pretty good on this bowler friendly pitch. Loving the fact that bowlers finally are in an advantageous position over batsmen for a change.

If DC bowls really well like in recent matches, I think KKR could be in trouble. Entertaining match overall!

The Delhi team was also badly defeated in the first match against Kolkata. Delhi lost by perhaps 106 runs. So I don't expect a very good performance from Delhi in today's match. I bet on Kolkata to win. But I thought the match would be competitive. Because Delhi squad also has some talented players.



Delhi team managed to collect 153 runs after losing 9 wickets in 20 overs. I can't call it a good collection on this pitch. Moreover Kolkata batsmen are in very good form now. In the previous match too, the Kolkata team had collected a huge score of 261 runs. So I don't think Kolkata will have much problem to win today's match. Calcutta will win easily. If the two openers get off to a good start, the Kolkata team will reach the target of victory before 15 overs.

Correct buddy, Delhi Capitals squad is playing their batting inning with full of pressure of great bowling inning from Kolkata Knight Rider squad and which seem that Delhi Capitals squad is not collect good scores also they played 19 overs almost. One more overs behind for play and then their first inning goes to complete and from my experience, Delhi Capitals squad will collect 10 more scores in last over and final Defeating target will give 155 scores. Kolkata Knight Rider squad not only batting inning performance is incredible but also bowling strength also have same potential and same good performance. Varun Chakravarthy bowler picked up 3 main batter wickets Kumar Kushagra, Tristan Stubbs and Rishabh Pant after bowled 4 overs. Both Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora also wiped out same amount of wickets in match.

Kolkata Knight Rider squad is strong squad and also have great potential in competition and they can get a victory very simply by achieving defeating target which was made by DC squad.

If DC bowls really well like in recent matches, I think KKR could be in trouble. Entertaining match overall!

If Kuldeep and Axar can tackle the Dew issue then they could seriously trouble the KKR's batters as they are quality spinners but at the same time KKR's batting lineup is packed with some spin bashers so it should be a contest.

Hope, they don't make a mockery of this chase and finish the match within 15 overs lol. I'd prefer some collapse and nail biting contest because low scoring chase are fun to watch.

DC scored 153/9 today, not many big hits.

DC won the toss and opted to bat first at Eden Gardens. Unfortunately, their decision didn't work out as they were bundled out for just 153 runs! The top order failed, but Kuldeep's contributions helped Delhi put up a fight with the ball. It was impressive to see Kolkata Knight Riders' bowlers perform well, restricting Delhi Capitals to a low score. Now, Kolkata needs 154 runs to win. KKR seems to have the upper hand.

A target of 153 runs is not a big target for a team like Kolkata. Kolkata batsmen are in very good form. In almost every match the team is able to play well and score high. I thought today we might not see good bowling from the Kolkata bowlers. But Kolkata bowlers bowled well today. Delhi's innings stopped at just 152 runs.

Varun Chakrawarthy and Sunil Narine bowled very well today. Narine took only 1 wicket. But he gave only 24 runs in 4 overs. On the other hand, Varun conceded 16 runs in 4 overs, and picked up three important wickets.

At the end of 2 overs, Kolkata collected 27 runs. However, Kolkata collected 23 runs in the first over. Delhi bowlers will lose today's match very badly if they don't pick up quick wickets. In the first match too, the Delhi team was defeated by a margin of 100+ runs against Kolkata.

Today Delhi Capitals face Kolkata Knight Riders at their home ground in Kolkata. Delhi Capitals have put up a very simple equation in front of Kolkata Knight Riders in today's match. Batting first, Delhi Capitals scored 153 runs in the 47th match of IPL, which Kolkata Knight Riders will easily overcome and reach the port of victory. Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers played well against Delhi Capitals batsmen today. Varun Chakraborty bowled brilliantly today, he bowled four overs and took three wickets against Delhi Capitals with four economy rate.

Kolkata Knight Riders' 2 opening batsmen have already entered the crease and they have been batting aggressively from the start. Phil Salt and Sunil Narine both come in to open the innings let's see how far they can take their team.

[noormcs5]

Saim Ayub has been given too many chances in T20I and he is yet to score a fifty despite the fact he came as an opener. In his fifteen T20I innings, he has scored 219 runs with an average of 14.60. It's time for Pakistan team to let him play domestic cricket and try some new opener who can score runs for the team. T20 World Cup is coming up and if Pakistan can't beat New Zealand second-tier team then what they will go against full strength teams.   

Just on a side note New Zealand's jersey for the World Cup has been ready and we will see them wear a blue shirt in the World Cup of 2024 which will start after a month in June.

By the way, in the latest seasons after 2021, New Zealand jerseys are just as good as the World Cup jersey of 2023, their jersey was not good and before 2021, they had a very good type of jersey.
I think the most iconic jersey was the jersey of 2020 but at that time, we were not able to see them wear that jersey in that  World Cup as the World Cup did not happen in that year due to COVID-19 however this current jersey is too much simple.
