T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

...and RR settles for 141 — were they playing to lose? Do they want CSK in play-offs? is it in service for Dhoni? CSK will definitely try to chase this mediocre target fast to get that crucial NRR boost.

The Rajasthan Royals are not worthy of 141 runs. I think Rajasthan must have played the royal game. Of course, Rajasthan Royals want CSK in the playoffs. No matter what the Rajasthan Royals plan, this cup will go to KKR.

The runs that Rajasthan Royals scored in today's match was something they never deserved.141 runs was a very small score for the team. CSK performed well today beating RR, of course CSK played royally in today's match which led to a huge win against Rajasthan Royals. I believe that if Rajasthan Royals plan differently to win the IPL trophy this season then surely it will be wrong. This season I think Kolkata Knight Riders are in the best form and they will be the only IPL champion to win the KKR trophy.

RCB were quite lucky to even reach 187 since DC dropped so many catches initially(Jacks, Patidar etc). On the other hand, DC got off to a horrendous start by losing 4 wickets in the powerplay itself.

Jake was so freaking unlucky. Delhi are still fighting bravely, but I feel like this is Bangalore's game currently. Let's see what happens.

[libert19]

Flop show from DC, two players who largely DC depends on, i.e, JFMG and Stubbs got run-out, Stubbs one was completely unnecessary while JFMG was unlucky, though these days these kinda run-outs happen quite often that off-striker needs to be aware of it.

Axar is trying to keep things floating, I like the fightback but don't think he'll be able to bring DC to the shore. I'm all-in for surprise though.

That is a shame. I was thinking that Pakistan will win this series with 3-0. Because Pakistan squad was very strong as compare to the Ireland team. But they really disappointed me. First of they didn't make a higher target to put a pressure on Ireland team and after that Pakistan bowlers wasn't able to stop the Ireland team. I really appreciate the performance of Andy Balbirnie he is the only one who pulled the Ireland team to win the match. Shadab Khan performance in bowling was very disappointed. Ireland collected 54 runs in 4 ours from him.  Pakistan needs more practice to stand against Ireland. By the way Congratulations to Ireland team.

Exactly. Pakistan performance was really disappointing. In my point of view the target was Ok but the performance of Pakistani bowlers was not admirable. Because just because of them Pakistan lost the match. They still need more practice. You mentioned Shadab Khan. He gave 54 runs to Ireland and he didn't collect a single wicket from them. He needs to practice more. And you are right Andy Balbirnie is the Hero of this match he played really well and he made 77 runs on 55 balls and he hit 12 boundaries including 10 Fours and 2 Sixers. Congratulations to the Ireland team. I hope they will continue this performance.

Pakistan had a disappointing start in this today's match. Seeing their performance, there was a feeling that they would lose in this match as well. But from that situation, Pakistan is in a slightly better place. The team collected 125 runs for the loss of just 2 wickets and to reach the target they need 65 runs from 43 balls which is not a difficult equation. However, there were concerns about how Pakistan performed in the first match, by which fans feeling quite disappointed about the match. A better performance is expected from Pakistan team. The Ireland team is performing brilliantly, I never imagined they would perform so well consistently.

After giving too many runs in bowling, Pakistani batsmen have done a good job. Pakistan need 22 more runs in last 4 overs. Rizwan has played exceptionally well today along with Fakhar Zaman. With this win Pakistan will level the series and last match will decide the winner of this series. Rizwan is not out on 78 runs and today he consumed very little balls for this inning.

Impressive batting and bowling from the RCB bring them to the fifth spot with now they have chance of going into top four even this is not easy but still now things are taking good change for them with their bowlers done impressive job and having good start after posting huge target which must needed for them while they are now fighting back after having six defeats which bring their moral down but now suddenly they are having good fight back which is creating good interest of their fans as well.

187 was looking massive with their bowlers give them early breakthrough which was enough for them to win this game by big margin we have some strong resistance from the Axar Patel and Shai Hope, but things take good change after regular fall of wickets which produce huge pressure on them.

After giving too many runs in bowling, Pakistani batsmen have done a good job. Pakistan need 22 more runs in last 4 overs. Rizwan has played exceptionally well today along with Fakhar Zaman. With this win Pakistan will level the series and last match will decide the winner of this series. Rizwan is not out on 78 runs and today he consumed very little balls for this inning.

Pakistan won the match quite comfortably. And they should actually thank Irish fielders for giving them chances. Graham Hume dropped both Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman during initial overs, and on both occasions it was relatively easy opportunities. Both Zaman and Rizwan made use of it and went on to build a mammoth third wicket partnership. By the time Zaman got out to Ben White, it was all over for Ireland. Now the series is tied 1-1 and the last match will decide who will win the series.

Bangladesh Vs Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe after winning the toss gave bangladesh team to batting fisrt Bangladesh made 157/6 in 20 overs. After the first three wickets of Ban team gone quickly it looked like they would be able to score maximum 120 runs but after that Mahmudullah and Najmul Hossain came on the crease and took responsibility and played very smart innings. they made 69 runs partnership which gave a new hope to ban team and they set a good total of 157 runs Mahmudullah make fifty while shakib and Jaker Ali also contributed to gave target of 158 runs now their bowlers should need to perform very well to white wished Zimbabwe

From recent two matches most of us observed that Bangladesh feel trouble while scoring or defending his target so I mentioned in my previous post that it's look like an easy for Bangladesh to beat Zimbabwe but things are looking abit out of range and tonight we got solid proof and I think it's not a disappointment moment for Bangladesh because they already got the series but unable to white wash them but here they got a high voltage shock which will really help them to realise thier preparation for any big competition isn't enough they should work on Thier player especially thier batters because they already have phenomenal quality pacers which can get the game for them but thier batting order sudden collapse will really make things hard for them.

LOL what is going on with the Pakistan team bowlers!!
It's seems today Ireland will be able to score 170 to 180 and I think that will be also a good score in t20 format. Anyway, I think the Ireland team taking the full benefit of being the host of this match. Currently they are in 165 run in 18.1 over and they have still 4 wicket in hand and run rate is over 9. So I am guessing that today the chances of winning of Pakistan can be also less, I am going to take my after watching the starting batting of Pakistan team still match is unpredictable for me but expecting Ireland will won.

I am really impress with the Irish approach against Pakistani bowling attack as they are in complete control with having score of 193 against Pakistan is always good for any team and after winning first match here we have good confidence in their batting hopefully they will go bowling as well this performance is clearly showing Pakistani teams is preparing for the world cup on low note, and they are having no depth into their bowling with batting is also having problems.

All bowlers having good punishment from the Irish batting side with they were playing with good approach right now Ireland is favourite for to win this second match after having this target at the board Pakistani quality is on decline in last few months which is massive issue for them.

[Crypto Library]

I am not saying that Pakistan will lose this match too but nothing can be said with certainty with this Pakistan team. The fact is that Pakistan bowlers have failed in this match too. When you see big names in the team like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Naseem Shah and still Ireland score 193 runs is just something unusual.

You are right my friend, my expectation was wrong, as we are seeing today's target cross the previous match even then Pakistani batters recovered themselves from the previous match. I was thought that today target will around 170 to 180 but Ireland crossed that really this is a batting friendly pitch.
Anyway Mohammed Rizwan didn't make the second mistake of run out today he took 75 run but Babar Azam batting was totally irresponsible and this filled by the Fakhar Zaman. I lost my bet today but luckily I made very small placement today  .

Bangladesh team could not perform well enough in this match today due to which they lost. Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh team has performed well enough to collect one wicket with 9 runs in 4 overs. If Shakib Al Hasan could have performed well like Anand Bale then there would have been a chance to win, the worst performance was Mohammad Saifuddin who conceded 55 runs in four overs picking up just one wicket. But I can say that if they had won the last four matches, Bangladesh team could have won the fifth T20I match. But it seems that the Bangladesh team did not try too hard to win this match, as the Zimbabwean team performed very well and maintained their reputation.

Yes, in the last match of this series, the Zimbabwe team managed to save some respect by winning against the Bangladesh team. Despite not performing well in the earlier matches of this series, the Zimbabwean team managed to show an excellent example in the last match. The fans of the Zimbabwean team are very happy as the Zimbabwean team won the game in this last match. However, I am hopeful that the Zimbabwean team can continue to improve in the future by working harder.

I agree with you. I was surprised by the performance of Ireland's batsmen against the Pakistani bowlers. I thought the Pakistani pace attack was very strong. But in the last series against New Zealand we did not see good performance of Pakistani bowlers. And even against a weak team like Ireland, Pakistani bowlers are not able to do well.

Ireland team made a huge collection of 193 today. However, Ireland could not win the match. Still, I'd say this team performed really well. Ireland team could have defeated Pakistan in this match too if they had experienced bowlers in the squad. Almost all the batsmen in Ireland's squad performed well. On the other hand, Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman and Azam Khan's excellent batting saw Pakistan get an easy win. But Babar and Saim Ayub's performance was poor as usual today.

I taught paksitan gona again lose thier important match of the series against Ireland because some of thier main bowler were brutally smashed from normal Irish player which was quite surprising for me because mainly paksitan were known for his quality seamers but here things goes against that, especially at last two over I taught they will get Irish rest of players before 180 but they scored 190+ which is definitely a red light siren for them. Anyway while chase after losing two main wickets of baber and saim everyone believe it's confirm defeat for them as currently Rizwan and Fakhar were going out of form but surprisingly these two guys change entire situation and later some handsome contribution of Azam Khan won an important match for them and thus they level the series by 1-1

Bowling is not a problem for Bangladesh as there are few spinners for Bangladesh and the pacers perform well enough so Bangladesh is not in any big problem. But the problem is the imbalance performance of top order batsmen of Bangladesh especially Bangladesh is looking for good opening batsmen but so far Bangladesh has not found a good opening batsman here Bangladesh has failed completely. Moreover, Bangladeshi players, especially top order batsmen, do not have any body fitness to play short over matches, especially T20, and Bangladeshi players cannot do any manner of scoring T20. No matter how well the Bangladeshi players perform, they cannot put up a winning score in T20. Moreover, Bangladesh's performance in big format matches, especially World Cup or T20 World Cup, is so bad that it is not worth highlighting. Bangladesh has to overcome these moments and Bangladesh team can never stand as a perfect team if they do not find the weak points and solve them.

For the past two to three years, Bangladesh team has been looking for a good opening batsman for them but they have repeatedly failed to find it. If a batsman is given a chance year after year and yet continues to deteriorate regularly in Bangladesh, it may be difficult to find an opening batsman. The fact that the Bangladesh team is totally unsuitable for T20 and Test formats is evident from their performance. Bangladesh team is very short of hard hitter batman due to which they cannot play big shots.Whenever the players of any team play big short in T20 then they will be able to score more runs which the batsmen of Bangladesh team cannot easily do.

I was thinking that Pakistan will make a good comeback and they have done it. I was not expecting that they will lose the first match but they lost. Which made me little disappointed. But in the second match they did well.
But here is the one thing. That is Pakistani players don't have consistency means in the match Fakhar Zaman and Muhammad Rizwan didn't played well but in the second Match they played really well. And just look at the Babar Azam. He played in the first match but in the second match he got out without making any run. Pakistan needs to focus on these mistakes if they really want to stand in World Cup.

Hahaha. We say in our language you can understand that.( Ye match bhi gaya haath sy) Hahaha.

I was also thinking that. Because I was thinking about the first match. I was thinking that if Pakistan made 182 runs in the first match so in this match Ireland made 192 runs. So this can be little bit difficult to chase by Pakistan. But there were Rizwan and Fakhar who played really well and just due to their performance Pakistan won the match. Pakistan chased the target with in 17 overs. Shaheen Shah Afridi was good in bowling. He collected first two important wickets. By the way I appreciate the performance of Fakhar and Rizwan. Congratulations to Pakistan on their winning and now the series is at 1-1. So the last match will decide everything that who will win the series.

[MusaPk]

Pakistan won the match quite comfortably. And they should actually thank Irish fielders for giving them chances. Graham Hume dropped both Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman during initial overs, and on both occasions it was relatively easy opportunities. Both Zaman and Rizwan made use of it and went on to build a mammoth third wicket partnership. By the time Zaman got out to Ben White, it was all over for Ireland. Now the series is tied 1-1 and the last match will decide who will win the series.

Ireland should improve there broadcasting standards, there is no fun in watching these matches on TV. The cameras and commentary is no way near to international standards.
If Ireland can improve there fielding and not repeat mistakes in third T20I then they have bright chance of winning the series. Even if they lose there success is that they won a T20 game and make Pakistan work hard to win the series.

[Popkon6]

Pakistan team managed to perform well in the second match, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman performed best to win this second match. And in terms of bowling, Shaheen Afridi and Abbas Afridi have performed best. This match gave the best proof that the Pakistan team was strong and roared as per previous performances. So far the matches between Ireland team and Pakistan team are tied, Ireland team won the first match and Pakistan team won the second match. The third T20 match can be won, and the Pakistan team will definitely win this series.

I also noticed that their broadcasting was not up to standard. I couldn't see their players while doing finding in straight position  and there is some error in the position where the cameras need to be held. After all this series has still created great interest among cricket lovers. Because Ireland beat Pakistan in T20 match. If Ireland win the toss and decide to field in the final T20 match, they can have a chance to win the series. Although the probability of that happening is very low, it can happen. Because their batting standard has improved enough. I would call Pakistan's sudden loss in the first match an accident because the pitch conditions in Asia and the conditions in Europe will not be the same.
