T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[UmerIdrees]

Bowling was lethal for the Pakistan which is now turned into weak point as they are conceding too many runs and also fail to create problems for the opponents they need to be fixed this before it's going to be worst for them in coming months because right now situation is not good, and their technique is also not good for this format.

The way Rizwan was out in yesterday’s match was not good because he was out on a yorker. He must have practiced to play on back shoot which means have to practice to play scoop shot too.
Also, if he just touches the ball then still, he could go up and make more runs because at that time, there were many balls left and if he does left that ball so it is not considered a mistake.

By the way, in Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam batting, there is one common thing, they both cannot be hit on scoop means on the back foot which is why I think they have to practice on it or avoid it totally (so they do not get out on that shot),

In the third T20I, Ireland scored 178 runs, batting first, I think that's a huge score. However, if Pakistan team can give a good batting performance in today's match, then surely there is a possibility to win this t20 match and win the series. We have seen the games between the two teams that have ended with both teams winning one match each, so we don't know what the equation is going to be today. As Pakistan team batting to meet the target of 179 runs, if they can perform well in batting today then it is definitely possible to win the series. And I think Pakistan will try their best in today's match to win the match and win the series. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam two experienced batsmen are still batting brilliantly if they can make big score for the team then victory is possible today. And to win the series in today's match, the Pakistan team needs to collect 133 runs from only 93 balls.

No it wasn't even that big a score.  Because the Pakistan team is not that weak.  If their batsmen perform well they score a lot of runs.  Their batsmen work hard and struggle in this match.  His team has won 2 out of 3 matches.  Their batsmen have scored 181 runs in 17 overs to win the match.  Congratulations on their performance.  If Ireland batsmen had scored 200 runs and the bowlers had bowled well they could have won the match.  Because if their bowlers put pressure on them they could have won the match.  Rizwan scored 78 runs in the second match as well.  And Rizwan has perform well in this match as well.  Pakistan has improve its performance in the match.  Due to which they will win 2 matches.  If they work hard they can win the series too.Ireland should focus on their performance so that they too can win this series.

When Rizwan was out in the match then after him always Fakhar Zaman arrived but today instead of Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam called Azam Khan and it was a good decision by him because, in the last match, he also played well so have to see that this performance is just for one match or now he is getting some things that are present inside a good player.

I think there must be a chance for Azam Khan to allow him to play some matches because now slowly he is becoming a good player. At this time, Azam Khan has to focus on his diet because with his health he cannot do fielding and if by chance it would be a part of the World Cup, then Rizwan would do wicket keeping then he cannot run fast on fielding due to his diet.

Shaheen, Babar and Rizwan outclass Ireland as Pakistan seal series win

[Haunebu]

RR vs Punjab underway! Rajasthan are on a 3 match losing streak which I am expecting to break in this particular match despite Buttler being absent which isn't exactly a big loss if you ask me.

They need to score something over 210 to try and ensure victory. On the other hand, Punjab is simply trying to screw other teams in their remaining matches.

[hafiztalha]

It is proof that Pakistan team players have performed aggressive batting, Ireland team performed very well. Pakistan team player Babar Azam did not perform well in the second match but he performed the best in the third match.
Before the end of 20 overs, Pakistan team won the match, Babar Azam and Rizwan are the most and their role is the most to win this match. Meanwhile on the bowling side both Shaheen Afridi and Abbas Afridi have performed very well and are exceptional bowlers. 
So Pakistan team has proved that they are strong by winning the last two matches by a wide margin.

Yesterday in 3 rd game of Pakistan vs Ireland team, Ireland team was performed very well in first bat lineup and their target was also very good. Pakistan team won toss and they had good opportunity to take good decision and also they did it. Ireland won team made 178 big runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. L. Tucker batsman again showed very brilliant effort as he performed in 2 nd game. He scored 73 runs in 41 balls and he hitted thirteen 4s and one 6s. But in bowl lineup, Ireland team did not break the batsman of Pakistan team and Pakistan Batsman easily chased down the target and won game. B.Azam was proved best Batsman in third game and he scored 75 runs in 42 balls ane he hitted six 4s and five 6s. He brilliantly hitted four 6s in one by one and I really liked his effort. S.Afridi got a player of game award due to her good effort and he took down again 3 wickets in 4 overs and 14 runs.

Congratulations Pakistan team

RR trying to do reverse RCB, like how tamed down they are in last few matches, if you play with 6-7 RR how do you expect to give good total? Jaiswal is also complete opposite of his form in last season.

Dead rubber this match is but if this continues to be their performance they are out of the competition in play-offs.

Congratulations Pakistan team

Pakistan team must be congratulated as they deserve to be congratulated. After Pakistan lost the first match against Ireland, they bounced back well and won two consecutive T20Is to clinch the series win. In the third T20I, Ireland batted first and amassed a mammoth total of 172 runs, with Lorcan Tucker playing a cameo innings of 72 off 41 balls. Batting on the target given by Ireland, the batsmen of the Pakistan team batted very well, especially Md Rezwan and Babar Azam's innings was very good. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan put on an unbroken partnership of 139 off 74 balls against Ireland. Basically this pair between them took Pakistan to the brink of victory.

Pakistan's Shahensha Afridi has been adjudged Man of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance in the third T20I.Shahensha Afridi has taken seven wickets in these three matches against Ireland and may be a worthy contender for Man of the Series.

RR trying to do reverse RCB, like how tamed down they are in last few matches, if you play with 6-7 RR how do you expect to give good total? Jaiswal is also complete opposite of his form in last season.

Dead rubber this match is but if this continues to be their performance they are out of the competition in play-offs.

These guys need to win at least 1 one of their remaining matches, otherwise, they'll slip into 3rd or maybe 4th position because their NRR is inferior when compared to Chennai and SRH.

Considering their trajectory and performance in the last leg, they are not in the mood to win any game though.

[tsaroz]

RR trying to do reverse RCB, like how tamed down they are in last few matches, if you play with 6-7 RR how do you expect to give good total? Jaiswal is also complete opposite of his form in last season.

Dead rubber this match is but if this continues to be their performance they are out of the competition in play-offs.

Indeed, RCB and RR both are on different sides of extreme. RCB have a 5 win streak and if RR lose today, they'll have a 5 lose streak. CSK and Sunrisers Hyderabad could give RR a challenge for the 2nd place and if RR is pushed to eliminator, they could lose considering their form and the performance of other qualifying team.
Punjab is currently the lowest ranked team yet RR are not able to bat against them properly. RR winning the toss chose to bat but every of its batsmen failed to perform. At the end of 18th over, they are 130/7 and in my guess getting a 20 in 2 overs would be tough for them. A target below 150 and Punjab would chase it without catching breath.

[Compromise me]

In the third T20I, Ireland scored 178 runs, batting first, I think that's a huge score. However, if Pakistan team can give a good batting performance in today's match, then surely there is a possibility to win this t20 match and win the series.

And I think Pakistan will try their best in today's match to win the match and win the series. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam two experienced batsmen are still batting brilliantly if they can make big score for the team then victory is possible today. And to win the series in today's match, the Pakistan team needs to collect 133 runs from only 93 balls.

Pakistan has improve its performance in the match.  Due to which they will win 2 matches.  If they work hard they can win the series too.Ireland should focus on their performance so that they too can win this series.

So Pakistan won this series , Pakistan won this series thanks to Babar Azam and Rizwan. Babar Azam faltered in his second match and could not bat due to which he was dismissed for zero runs . And in this match he performed well and proved that he is a good batsman as well as the captain of the Pakistan team .
But the reward of this Match goes to Shaheen Afridi because he got three wickets deep for Ireland with his great bowling which was the big batsman of Ireland.And A Afridi aslo bowled well and took two wickets.

Oh! I was just looking at play-offs scenario, completely forgot that being in first two ranks gives second chance at qualifying.

Inning ends at 144-8, tuk-tuk does no good, might as well play aggressive?

Or they could be playing psychological tricks for opponents to underrestimate them in qualifiers, don't quote me on this though

I completely agree that Pakistan victory in this series was largely due to exceptional performances of Babar Azam and Rizwan. Babar Azam comeback in final match was impressive and he proved himself to be skilled batsman and a capable captain. However I also think real hero of match was Shaheen Afridi who took three crucial wickets and dismantled Ireland with his outstanding bowling. Afridi performance was instrumental in Pakistan win and he deserves highest praise. Overall it was team effort but Shaheen Shah Afridi bowling was deciding factor in this match.

Congratulations Pakistan team

Most of the time, in yesterday's match Azam Khan was not hitting on the easy balls, but it was good because he had an idea that if he hit then he could be out that is why he waited for the ball to come to him except on the middle and in gap then he hit a shot otherwise he took single or double or drop the ball which was very good but not for all time because sometimes, the game is fixed in a situation where the batsmen must have to hit the sixes or fours and as finisher he must have to hit boundaries in every ball but according to today’s situation, it was very good.

Remember that it was Azam Khan who played just 6 balls and scored 18 runs. Pakistan must be hoping if he can continue this form in the England tour and then in the upcoming T20 World Cup of course.

[Haunebu]

RR have seriously lost the plot here. Never heard of the dude who replaced Buttler and most of their batsmen are playing like crap these days. Ashwin was one of their highest run-scorers which says everything.

Ellis, Curran and Harshal were brilliant with the ball surprisingly. KKR's chances of lifting the cup once again just went up in my opinion.

[onecall123]

yeah, both Babar Azam and Rizwan put on a great show. Congrats to Team Pakistan on winning the series! This is their first T20I series win since the T20 World Cup 2022. Pakistan fans are probably thrilled to see the team's strong performance in both batting and bowling, especially after losing the first T20I. Now, fans are hoping to see some top-class play in the World Cup. However, beating Ireland might not be the best test of their abilities.

I am sure that this series was the best series for Azam Khan and he would not forget to buy him easily or hardly because in this, he made the highest score of his career in T20 and now it is 30 but before it was 10.

Also I am talking about the International T20I otherwise in the leagues, he made very good runs and also played very well. Thirty is also less but he's the finisher and he made it in just 10 balls then after that as he gave today's performance which was also very good. This series was very good for Azam Khan because in this he got a chance to show himself as he is an asset for the team.

Are we forgetting Imad Wasim's performance in this match?  It seems that Imad Wasim also has the mood to hit boundaries and give the ending touch on the last but he also wanted Azam Khan would finish the match and for that and for this very purpose he took a single and gave a strike to Azam Khan.

Also, Azam Khan finished the match by hitting a six that was defended by a player from Ireland like a superman. In the last second, he jumped and threw the ball inside the boundary but sadly, his hard work was wasted because he touched ground under the boundary when he had the ball in his hands, and like this, he finished the match.  

I completely agree that Pakistan victory in this series was largely due to exceptional performances of Babar Azam and Rizwan. Babar Azam comeback in final match was impressive and he proved himself to be skilled batsman and a capable captain. However I also think real hero of match was Shaheen Afridi who took three crucial wickets and dismantled Ireland top order with his outstanding bowling. Afridi performance was instrumental in Pakistan win and he deserves highest praise. Overall it was team effort but Shaheen Shah Afridi bowling was deciding factor in this match.

Also, there is a must for Babar Azam to perform well in the last match of the series. In the New Zealand series, he didn’t play extremely well in all matches but played average, however, when the last match came Babar Azam made the most runs which were around 70,+.
He didn't played upto the mark in the whole series but in the last match of the series, he played very good by making 75 on 42 balls, in which he hit 6 fours and 5 sixes. He was out due to the mission of hitting more boundaries.  

[JSRAW]

Or they could be playing psychological tricks for opponents to underrestimate them in qualifiers, don't quote me on this though  

Ghanta psychological tricks!

Frustrated cricket from the Royals, I had so much expectation from them in mid tournament and the hype was also there for the right reasons but they are messing up big time and now lost 4 games on a trot. Their last match is against table topper.  

[Insanity]

Now, fans are hoping to see some top-class play in the World Cup. However, beating Ireland might not be the best test of their abilities.

It is true that in the last match of the T20I series between Ireland and Pakistan, the brilliant performances of Babar Azam and Rezwan, Pakistan's responsible players, won the hearts of the fans. Babar Azam and Rizwan, who are very important players for Pakistan team, scored two fifties by two of the most talked about players of Pakistan team, which made the victory of the last match of this series very easy. However, although the Ireland team lost this series against the Pakistan team, the players of the Ireland team managed to play a competitive game. Every match of this T20 series between Ireland and Pakistan was full of excitement.

[Mahdirakib]

RR have seriously lose the plot here. Never heard of the dude who replaced Buttler and most of their batsmen are playing like crap these days. Ashwin was one of their highest run-scorers which says everything.

Rajasthan was flying in the sky with their team performance in the first 9 matches. But now they have 4 consecutive losses. RR might suffer in the playoff match for the absence of Jos Buttler. Another key batsman, Shivam Dube was also absent in today's match. Hetmyer wasn't available in the RR squad in the last few matches. Has he got a serious injury? He is the only hope for Rajasthan now to fix their batting line-up.
