T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Bangladesh could not win the match despite keeping South Africa within such few runs. At one time the equation was that Bangladesh would have to score fewer runs than balls to win but Bangladesh made that simple equation much more difficult later. 

Mahmudullah picked up the ball on the fifth ball of the innings and the ball would have crossed the boundary line had the South African fielder not fielded brilliantly. I will not say that Bangladesh lost this match only because of Bangladesh's failure, there were some faulty decisions by the umpires. 

In all these major ICC events, ICC uses their elite panel amperes but such wrong decisions are not really expected by these elite panel amperes. Several white balls they considered as legal balls as well as they gave up without claiming LBW, it was seen here that several decisions went against them. 
All in all, if Bangladesh could have won then maybe we would have forgotten everything but that was not the case.

Pakistan and Bangladesh could not handle the pressure and were not aware of the situation that when to hit the ball and when to stop or take singles.
Another worst thing that happened to team Bangladesh is ICC's sluggish rule about dead balls and at the end of the day, those 4 runs cost Bangladesh a lot.

[Out of mind]

Pakistan team played a significant role in this match, as they performed well in terms of bowling and batting. Canada team is much weaker than Pakistan team, but two batsmen of Pakistan team Rizwan and Babar Azam played enough role and were patient in this match. This is the first time that Pakistan have won against Canada in three matches in the total points table.

Namibia vs Australia
That was a short match with Namibia being all out making 72 in 17 overs. Australia chasing the target of 73 completed it in 5.4 overs losing a wicket. Australia surely is one of the favorite for the cup and Namibia is lucky to meet them in this platform.

The Namibian team lost the toss and went into bat, losing wickets at the start and under a lot of pressure. From there, no batsman could bat responsibly due to which the Namibia team was all out for only 72 runs. Gerhard Erasmus scored the highest runs for the Namibia team. Gerhard Erasmus was out with 36 runs off 43 balls. Coming down to bat against the target of 73 runs given by the Namibia team, the Australian team batted very responsibly and easily won against the Namibia team. Congratulations to Australia for this great win.

Australia's bowling performed well, with Zampa picking up four wickets alone.  And every bowler got a wicket but the Namibian team did not perform well in any aspect comparatively. Because the Australian team is the strongest team of this season, so far the Australian team has not lost any match. They occupy the last place in the points table and have already participated in the qualifiers.

Although we can say that Canada team is much weaker than Pakistan team but in the game we experienced in the match Canada team also played well. Canada team performed better than Pakistan team because Canada team is not that much experienced in cricket but Pakistan team is much more experienced but no one expected the performance they are following. However, even though two batsmen managed to score in the match due to good batting against Canada, the points that Pakistan team has in the points table are very less. However, USA has more points than Pakistan in the points table, they played well, but the next match is against Pakistan's Ireland. And if Pakistan team can't win this match then they will have to withdraw from the qualifying round so they have to improve the game of Pakistan team.

[marii awan]

Pakistan team was under heavy Indian bowling pressure in this game, due to which they came at the last minute and lost by six runs. Mohammad Rizwan in particular scored 31 runs off 44 balls, although he performed well as an opening batsman but was far behind in terms of runs. If he could have performed a little bit better then surely Pakistan team could have come in the last minute to win, like Naseem Shah he has performed well enough but unfortunately he could not hit the boundary in the last ball. 
If Osman Khan, Imad Asim, Mohammad Rizwan had performed this well, there would have been a chance to win. Because the margin of victory was a small margin of 6 runs, but the players of the Indian team did not perform well in terms of batting, but they performed well in terms of bowling.

Game awareness in cricket especially in the shorter format is very important every player should be aware of the situation and also handle the pressure. Rizwan knows his importance in the crease while chasing the target but he goes against India's top bowler and through his wicket in a very tough situation after that Imad Iftikhar and Shadab do the rest work and build a lot of pressure on team Pakistan in the chase situation and within 10 mins win predictor from 92% drops to 43% just because of their dots and not going for a big hit. All credit goes to the Indian pace attack they continually build pressure on Pakistan and its middle order.

USA ended up with 110-8 against India, with tailenders Shadley van Schalkwyk and Jasdeep Singh adding valuable runs towards the end. At one point it looked as if they may get to 130, but even this score is quite good given the fact that the tracks so far have been very supportive towards the bowlers. Still India may walk away with 2 points from this match, and USA need to contend with the fact that this match may not do much damage to their net run rate (which may be important later on).

[marii awan]

In today's Pakistan vs Canada 22nd match, Canada team came out to bat and scored 106 runs in 20 overs losing 7 wickets. Pakistan team will win the match by easily surpassing the target of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Pakistan team is now coming out to bat.  .Scored 36 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 7.1 overs.Pakistan team batsman Saim Ayub was dismissed for 6 runs from 12 balls.Mohammad Rizwan scored 20 runs from 25 balls.Babar Azam scored 7 runs from 10 balls.

Finally 2 points for Pakistan and register their 1st victory in the World Cup. I think the Pakistan team did not deserve to be in the Super 8. The USA's performance is far better than Pakistan's. Let's hope things go in Pakistan's favor and Pakistan still qualifies for Super 8.

Congratulations to Australia for this great win.

Australia Outstanding performance in this match winning by a huge 9 wickets and more than fourteen remaining. Australian team chased down the small target of 74 runs in just a loss of single wickets and the big thing is that they chased this target in powerplay. The man of the Match is Adam Zampa for his amazing bowling performance picked 4 important wickets by just giving 12 runs only in his bowling spell. After winning this match Australia confirm their seat for the Super Eight round. I think in group B Australia and Scotland will qualify for the Super Eight next round of the World Cup. England team is in trouble after losing one match and also tying one match their chances of qualifying are very slim.

England cricket team is in good form and they will play next matches against small teams and they will win the next matches easily and they will easily qualify for Super 8 .  Australian team  easily qualify for  super 8 and Tomorrow, England team will play match against Serbia and they will win the match with handsome net run rate. England team batters and bowlers are in good form and they have capability to all out sebia team at the score of 60 runs and they have capability to chase that score in just 5 overs because they have top class hard hitter who can play in any situation.I like England team and their performance is top of the rank in all formats and they have best fast bowlers and brilliant openers and good middle order and I think,they will definitely qualify for super 8 and they will qualify for semi final.

Namibia vs Australia
That was a short match with Namibia being all out making 72 in 17 overs. Australia chasing the target of 73 completed it in 5.4 overs losing a wicket. Australia surely is one of the favorite for the cup and Namibia is lucky to meet them in this platform.

That was looking a one sided match and Australia proved it. First of all Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first and they bowled excellently. I appreciate the bowling of Adam Zampa who collected 4 wickets. And at the end Australia restricted Namibia at 72 runs and all team of Namibia got out. And then Australia started their turn and they played really and they lost only one wicket and they chased the target in 5.4 overs. And the target was not high Namibia gave only 73 runs target and Australia chased it easily. Congratulations to Australia for this massive win against Namibia.

A one sided game from a Champion team Australia about how you perform against a low-level team and improve your RUN RATE. Australia performed like a champion in every match either its a big game or small.

Nepal vs Sri Lanka
Sad to see another match being abandoned due to rain. The timing and place of this tournament has been a bad one. A world cup should have been prioritized over any other games. The rain now could be a deciding factor for making a team to qualify for the super 8s and some not.

Today's match of Nepal vs Sri Lanka was very important for Sri Lanka. As the Sri Lankan team was badly defeated in two consecutive matches, Sri Lanka would definitely have a chance to win against Nepal in today's match. But the match was abandoned due to rain and Sri Lanka had to share the points with Nepal. To be honest Sri Lanka's fate is very bad.  Because the Sri Lankan team was knocked out of the Super 8 due to the fact that they lost the first two matches in the T20 World Cup badly. But if the match had not been abandoned today due to rain, Sri Lanka would have easily won against Nepal, but that's what happens with bad luck.

After this draw, Sri Lanka is almost out of the World Cup and its chances of going into the Super 8 are almost gone. Matches that are abandoned without playing any ball hurt both teams as they are closely focused on run rate and points.

I was thinking that USA may get to around 130-140 against India, but then they lost quite a few wickets lately. Once Nitish Kumar and Corey Anderson got out, the scoring rate also went down. At this point, Shadley van Schalkwyk and Jasdeep Singh are at the crease and they have 2 more overs to go. If they get to 115-120, then they should be happy about it. India fielded a full-strength side today, with bowling attack being led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.

As we have start of the match and Arshdeep takes two early wickets I was not sure about the USA to have three figures in this game because Indian bowling is currently at his best on these difficult tracks and things are favourable with their line and length as they are doing now for the last few months but still we have some good resistance and USA able to have 110 runs which are not enough for them against one of the best batting lineup of the world, but pitch is not easy which is surely going to have some positive point for the USA bowlers.

Mohammad Siraj and Juspirat Bumrah both having no success but if we are having easy win for the India then without any doubt I am going for the Man of the Match to Arshdeep Singh.

It is a good total on this pitch and early wickets cause a lot of problems for the Indian team but what a performance by Arshdeep Singh. The way India restrict the USA is amazing and now they are trying to achieve this target and secure their position in the final 8.

I was quite surprised to see Jasprit Bumrah being hit for a few boundaries, that too against the weak US team. Both he and Mohammed Siraj went for more than 6 runs per over, and don't forget the fact that the pitch was quite supportive of pace bowling. It was Arshdeep Singh who limited the damage with dream-like figures of 4-0-9-4. He got important wickets, including those of Nitish Kumar and Harmeet Singh. And then Hardik Pandya also provided a lot of support, with his spell of 4-1-14-2.

Today's match of Nepal vs Sri Lanka was very important for Sri Lanka.

But the match was abandoned due to rain and Sri Lanka had to share the points with Nepal. To be honest Sri Lanka's fate is very bad.  Because the Sri Lankan team was knocked out of the Super 8 due to the fact that they lost the first two matches in the T20 World Cup badly. But if the match had not been abandoned today due to rain, Sri Lanka would have easily won against Nepal, but that's what happens with bad luck.

After this draw, Sri Lanka is almost out of the World Cup and its chances of going into the Super 8 are almost gone. Matches that are abandoned without playing any ball hurt both teams as they are closely focused on run rate and points.

Bad time for Sri Lanka team from this t20 world cup because already they have lost 3 consecutive matches so till now their condition is over. However Sri Lanka will definitely have a chance to win against the Netherlands later. Moreover the Sri Lankan team was knocked out of the Super 8 after losing badly in the first two matches of the World T20. So from the next match we have to do our best. You can never underestimate Netherlands team because they have already shown best performance in t20. So you have to change your position by playing the rest of the match with proper planning.

After having good batting against spirited Indian bowling we are having interesting start of the Indian batting with Virat Kohli having his Golden duck against Saurabh Netravalkar and Rohit Sharma also give his wicket to same bowler with just after 2.4 overs we are having 10 runs on board and both Indian openers are back to pavilion right now we are having Rishabh Pant and SKY on the crease can we have another thriller or all action just ended it's interesting.

Pitch is surely still having troubling time for the batsmen and things are looking completely favourable for the bowlers, hopefully fans will be having paisa vasul performance from both teams.

[Sithara007]

Well.. what do we have here? India has already lost two very important wickets. Required run rate is much higher than current run rate, with Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant at the crease. Two of their best batsmen are gone (Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli), both of them picked up by former Mumbai player and current Oracle engineer Saurabh Netravalkar (currently having figures of 2-0-4-2). India will comfortably win this match, but it is definitely not going to be a one-sided match like some of us would have expected.

[JSRAW]

USA are fighting exceptionally well and now they have some serious openings here.

Indian middle order is not in good form. So far, Dubey, Jadeja and SKY have struggled in this USA's leg of WC. If they can get 2 more wickets then it's a game on.

Required run rate has gone above 7 runs per over. And it is really surprising to see Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube with strike rates in 70s and 60s (usually they have >150). American medium pacers are really troubling the Indian batsmen. Both Shadley van Schalkwyk and Corey Anderson are mixing it up. Just now Netravalkar dropped an easy chance of Suryakumar Yadav, and this is going to be extremely costly for the Americans. If that catch was taken, then there was a good chance that USA could have won this match.

Team USA set a target of 111 runs. We can't call it a bad collection on this pitch. However, India won the match very easily. India lost two wickets for 15 runs and their third wicket for 44 runs. Rohit and Virat are not batting well today.

Due to the responsible batting of Suryakumar Yadav and SHivam Dube, India won the match easily. Indian team has reached the target of victory by losing 3 wickets. Suryakumar Yadav was unbeaten with 50 runs from 49 balls and Dube with 31 runs. Bhumrah and Siraj did not bowl well today but Arshdip picked up four wickets for just 9 runs in 4 overs.

Yeah, the match could have been tighter or possibly thriller if Netravalkar wasn't generous to his schoolmate, at least he wasn't kind to another schoolmate Rohit so its fair lol.

IMO in this chase, those 5 run penalties did some good for SKY-Dube and they accelerated after that. Overall, the USA fought well and their participation did produce some nice memes.

Exclusive information, he didn't get enough allowance from his office to practice his fielding skills.

At the middle over the USA were ahead of team India and if they got one or two wickets then probably they could have made a history today, I see a lot of criticism about Dube from commentators which is unacceptable cause everyone struggle here not just him at least he got to some decent runs instead of gifting his wicket away that's a positive going forward to super 8.

USA team played very well and gave a target of 111 runs but India can beat USA team because the Indian team batting lineup is top of the  World and they will  qualify to super 8 . Indian team played last match against Pakistan and won this match. Indian team moral is very high and now the score on board is not difficult for Indian team because Indian team players are hard working.  Now the score of Indian team is 26 in 5 overs with fall of 2 wickets.Kuamr built 27 runs in just 23 balls but match will be interesting in next 5 overs and match will shift to Indian team. Because dangerous batmans are on the crease and they will hit and they will make partnership for the team and Indian team will win this match.
