T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[SATWAT]

Pakistan seems to be in a horrible state at this point. After 14 overs, they are 126/6, with Iftikhar Ahmed and Shaheen Shah Afridi at crease. Pakistan top order did a decent job, but then there was a middle order collapse. England spinners were exceptional and picked up wickets at crucial intervals. Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone picked up two wickets each, while the seamers (including Mark Wood, Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan) went for more than 10 runs per over.

After watching this performance by Pakistani team now I can say only after successful end of Squash and Field Hockey now Pakistani authorities are successfully ending cricket in this country with their mind and strategy hopefully coming years are going to be more horrible if they are going to have no changes in this all system which is crap and having mostly players just because of personal links and parchi.
After horrible batting now we are having horrible bowling with all bowlers are doing like gali cricket, so things are completely out of the way, and they are going to have another nightmare performance in T20i world cup after giving this all into ODI world cup in India no merit no rule of law mean end of the quality and performance.

The fourth match of the T20 series between Pakistan and England has started. Pakistan cricket team is batting at the beginning of today's match. Pakistan cricket team lost important wickets like Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman and Rezwan early in the batting. Pakistan batsman Rezwan scored 23 runs in 16 balls, Babar Azam scored 36 runs in 22 balls and Fakhar Zaman scored 9 runs in 9 balls. So far the score of Pakistan team is 84 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 9.4 overs. Now in my opinion rest of the batsmen of Pakistan team should bat responsibly to give England team a big target in today's match. So that the batsmen of the Pakistan team can play the entire innings. Now let's see what happens in the end

After a shot delay, match has resumed again which is so good and first batting Inning has been completed successfully. Before start of match, there were many reports suggested that weather situation could be fine for this third match. But it started raining after a few overs were played. Now let's move on current situation of match. Pakistan says has begun this match first with batting Inning and in this inning, their performance could be normal and Pakistan squad set exact defeating target I had guessed. After defeating first three batter wickets Muhammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Usman Khan, next batter displayed very bad strength in batting Inning and total Defeating target set 157 scores. Starter batters of England squad already entered on crease and displaying batting skills. One of them was wiped out recently, Phil Salt played impressively and collected 45 scores and gave amazing contribution for their squad to secure victory. Let's watch out will Pakistan squad defend their Defeating target or not.

Pakistan is in dire straits now. The performance of both bowlers and batsmen of this team is very bad now. The first three batsmen of the top order are batting a bit better. But the team managed to collect only 157 runs due to the bad batting of the middle order batsmen. It is not possible to win by giving a target of 157 runs on this pitch. Pakistan needed to score at least 180-200 runs. Then the match would have become competitive.

England team will not have any problem to win this match. England team has already collected 102 runs in 10 overs. England need to collect only 56 runs in 10 overs to win. Pakistani bowlers are also not in good form now. The performance of every player in the squad is very erratic. It is foolish to expect anything better from this team in the World Cup.

Finally paksitan has successfully lose the final match of the series against England lol and runied the dreams of many fans who expect at least last match victory from them in order to level the series. Anyway they lose the series successfully with a 2-0 lead from England. I taught paksitan has last opportunity and they will properly utilize it by giving tough time to England bowler but unfortunately unable to divert results in thier favour and as soon as baber and Rizwan got dismissed after 50+ partnership in early overs the rest of thier player failed to stick long and once again the big man Azam Khan and Shadab khan got dismissed with a golden duck. While during target defend I am really impressed from haris rauf for his sunsational performance and I think that the reason they got three wickets otherwise it will be 10wicket defeat

Pakistan team players have performed so stupidly that words can never express. Where Pakistan's wicket fall is high but England's wicket fall is very low. Rizyan, Babar Azam, and Osman Khan, the three batsmen, performed well in the power play but later on, none of the more patient players could survive the field. 

Here the Pakistan team lost due to high fall of wickets, where the opening batsmen have been patient but later they have scored one less run. England batting team has performed well by every player, in comparison Pakistan team has performed very poorly.

Pakistan tour of England, 2024 England. The match was held at Kennington Oval, London. England won the toss and put opt to Bowl. England takes advantage of home-ground facilities. Pakistan did not collect enough runs for their innings they collected only 157 (10) 19.5 over. Captain Babor Azom made 36 (22) and Usman Khan made 38 (21). England Bowlers are playing very well they take wickets regularly. England start batting target runs of 158. They played very well Philip Salt made a good score of 45 (24) and Captian Jos Buttler made 39 (21). England won by 7 wickets in 15.3 overs. Pakistan had a good chance to level the series but they were not able to win.

There were a total of four T20 matches between the Pakistan team and the England team, but two of the matches were postponed due to rain.  But two more matches were played where Pakistan lost the second match by a small margin but today's match was the biggest margin. However, as the players of the Pakistan team performed from the opening batsman, the later players did not perform well. I noticed that the Pakistan team needs to practice better, because the team has to spend more and practice. Where the England team has performed well from both sides batting line and bowling line. But in the same way Pakistan team has performed poorly in both batting line and bowling line.

[tsaroz]

Pakistan's mens team too looks not much better than the womens team against England. Pakistan was made to bat first as england won the toss. The Pakistani batting top order performed fine with Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Usman Khan making decent scores with good strike rates but the middle and lower order of Pakistani cricket team collapsed against the bowling of England. Only Iftikhar Ahmed and Nasim Shah making a double digit score. The chase from England was a walk in the park.
The series ended with 2-0 victory for England as 2 of the matches were abandoned by rain. Now both these team might be going to US and west Indies for the world cup.

Opening batsmen Rizwan and Babar Azam got off to a good start when Babar was dismissed for a personal 36 off the last ball of the batting power play but Mohammad Rizwan was dismissed in the next over. Zaman's third wicket left the next batsmen in despair and Pakistan lost control of the match. Four out of all the wickets for 0 runs. Chasing an easy target of 158 runs, Buttler and Salt scored 82 runs off 38 balls in the opening pair. Pakistan's bowlers could not put up any resistance in the beginning, so England won by seven wickets with 27 balls in hand.

Pakistan after loosing wickets 126/7 in 15th overs the way they are playing it will be difficult task for them to play complete overs. in start of the innings pakistan team played magnificent scored 59 runs in powerplay but after like that their rhythm was broken and nobody play long and fearless innings. No one take responsibility of pakistani team on him Iftikhar didn't play remaining five overs to give average target 157 runs. England team chase the target very fast and won the series.

Exactly they are not looking better and with this kind of performance they can't stand in T20I World Cup. Even if you took a look back so you will see that they already lost a match from Ireland too. After that they have the Four matches series with England and in this series we know that they played Only two matches and in these two matches their performance was not admirable. They need more and more practice to survive in ICC World Cup. Otherwise they will be at home before semifinals. By the way I am too much worried about that what they will do in the World Cup.

Finally, an iconic partnership has been back in order and once again we got the chance to see Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan as openers and playing together after a long time and it is such a long time since we have seen them as openers last time in 2023 before World Cup 2023. It means you can say that we are seeing them as openers together after 7 or 8 months which is such a long time.

However, now talk about what they both have done, so they both played very amazing, and made across 60 runs without losing any wicket in 6 overs but then Babar Azam lost his wicket. Later on, no batsmen from the Pakistan team were able to capitalize this start and they lost all their wickets at the score of just 157 runs.

In the first overs of Pakistan's batting on that the Pakistan team played very well, in short, you can say they played amazingly in the powerplay. They played with a huge run rate in the powerplay as they made 50 in just 5 overs and also inside this score, there are too many boundaries involved.
That 50 contains too many boundaries from Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Those early runs didn’t give a feel to the Pakistan team that they didn’t make good score in the end when the wickets were going down quickly after the initial opening partnership. In this match, the Pakistan team middle order collapsed badly and that was the real cause of their loss.

Yes you are right. They were playing well at the start of the match but we saw that they both played well and made 59 runs. At 59 runs Pakistan lost first wicket means Babar Azam got out. And the partnership went down. And after 6 runs Muhammad Rizwan also got out. After them Usman Khan played little well and made 38 runs. Overall Pakistan collected 157 runs. Which I think not a good target and England easily chased it.

But one thing which is important to notice that is, if they both(Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan) open the match so they can make a good partnership and can give much surprises.

Has anyone seen the West Indies vs Australia warm up match? I enjoyed an extremely exciting match. Both teams played brilliantly. West Indies batting looks like I am watching Sunrisers Hyderabad batting in an IPL match .

In 20 overs West Indies collected 257 runs losing only 4 wickets. Nicholas Pooran batted at a strike rate of 300. Pooran collected 75 runs off just 25 balls. Besides, Powell collected 52 runs off 25 balls and Rutherford collected 47 runs off just 18 balls. Almost every batsman in the squad batted well. On the other hand, the Australian team has been able to collect 222 runs after batting with a target of 258 runs. I think Australia would have won this match if Travis Head was in Australia's squad today. In IPL, we have seen great batting from Travis Head.

If the Australian team could have performed well from the beginning, the chances of winning this match would have been higher. Because this team lost because of the laziness of the batting, and because of the high fall of wickets, the players of the Australian team suffered the most losses. Because those who have aggressive batting are the ones who are basically getting out in short time, Australia team lost. The West Indies team has performed well in both bowling and batting aspects due to which they have secured victory in this match.

India has always crushed Pakistan that India vs Pakistan encounters are no longer interesting. If Both teams are of same caliber, then we are talking!

Also, if these two teams would face off in semis/finals after beating other opponents, it would be more interesting. As it is right now, a direct encounter is merely a cash cow for ICC.

However, things can change with the inclusion of some legend players. Muhammad Amir is back once in the team of Pakistan and he is known as the thunder for India. Also in some days, the match is going to take place so i hope you understand what was done by Muhammad Amir in the 2017 Champions Trophy, in the 2009 World Cup, and also in 2016, Aisa Cup.

In 2009, he picked the wickets of Sachin Tendulkar, and others at that time stars. In the 2017 final, he out to Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dawan, and Rohit Sharma in the early mood then the other bowlers also picked the wickets. Also in 2016 he got the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. This is called Muhammad Amir.

Mohammad Amir and the spirit of Lord's 2009

~~image cut~~

Well yeah, he was good then but is he that good now as he was back then? In Pakistan vs England series that was completed yesterday, he didn't get a single wicket in 2 matches that were played, let's see how much impact does he have in wc.

[Sithara007]

The pitch got slow around the 10th over, but they are still below par and defending the 157 target won't be easy for bowlers.

I hardly see Rashid playing nowadays but he's still kicking in the internationals and doing it in style. Also, Azam Khan got some sugar daddy in PCB or he's such a promising talent? He reminds me of Rahkeem Cornwall.  

LOL.. for me Azam Khan is similar to the case of Riyan Parag. He is the son of Moin Khan (former Pakistan captain), so obviously he has powerful supporters in selection panel. That said, the ball from Mark Wood that got Azam out was a stunner. If you want to watch that again, then please check this link:

https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1796247418578813441

And then the missed catch (Will Jacks) when he was the keeper is not going to do him any favors either. He dropped the catch when the situation was extremely crucial. Haris Rauf lost his temper and yelled at him, and I am sure that Pakistani fans were disappointed as well.

I think Australia did not give full effort in this match. Otherwise, Australia had the ability to win at such a big target. Australia's batting order is strong. Australia's batsmen were also in very good form. Also it was completely flat pitched. Bowlers do not get any advantage on this pitch.

However, none of the Australian bowlers bowled well in this match. An experienced bowler like hazlewood gave away 55 runs in 4 overs. And Adam Zampa though took two wickets, he conceded 62 runs in 4 overs. Since Australia is aiming to become the T20 World Cup champions, I would say it is important to improve the performance of Australia's bowling lineup. The batsmen are in good enough form. However, the Australian team will not be able to win consistently unless the performance of the bowlers improves.

Just because Rajasthan backed the Parag, it doesn't mean he got some contacts or in the worst case, in possession of nudes of BCCI officials so you are being too hard on Poor kid Riyan and this comparison is odd.

From WK's point of view, Azam Khan is a big downgrade of Rizwan or even Sarfraz.
