T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Another loss added to the Dhaka Capitals team, Dhaka Capitals lost 6 out of 6 matches. The chances of Dhaka Capitals being eliminated are increasing day by day. Dhaka Capitals' performance looks like they won't make it to the next round. However, today Dhaka Capitals won the toss and decided to bat, which I think was their wrong decision, they should have opted to bowl. Dhaka collected 193 runs which was a good target, in the end Sylhet won by 3 wickets. Sylhet got their first win today, they won 1 out of 4 matches.

LOL... I thought that Dhaka were going to win this match. At one point, they had Sylhet Strikers at 160/7. But then Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Ariful Haque added 35 runs for the 8th wicket and took them home. The problem for Dhaka was that apart from Mustafizur Rahman, no one else looked like capable of taking wickets. The 18th over, bowled by Abu Jayed was crucial as it went for 14 runs. Ariful Haque managed to hit one sixer and two boundaries in this over. Anyway, this tournament seems to be over for Dhaka. At the moment they have zero points from 6 matches.

You are right that Dhaka Capitals does not have any skilled bowler who can do magic bowling for team winning. This team has not won a single match till now. I think they will be win less in the entire tournament. Although I consider Mustafizur as a good bowler, I don't see him performing well. Look some bowlers bowling style, it seems that they are new to bowling. In the last match, Dhaka Capitals had a score of 177 but in that match too they were easily defeated, on the other hand, in today's match, they had to lose despite doing good score. One of the reasons for Dhaka Capitals' loss in today's match is a bad batting by Munim Shahriar. He scored 52 in 47 balls which is ridiculous.

[Compromise me]

Wellington team played very well in line of batting and their batsman showed great progress and scoring 192 runs in 20 overs and this was the big target in 20 overs but their bowlers bowled poor and did not stop the Batsman of CD team to chase runs. CD chased down all runs in 20 overs and 6 wickets and this would be possible by only this player effort Jack. Jack really deserved player of game award and he scored 77 runs in 43 balls and hitted six 4s and four 6s. CD also got a 12 extra runs and Brett bowlers took down 2 wickets in 4 overs and gave 30 runs. Wellington team lost 2 games and won only 1 games and have less chance to qualify in final game of this series.

Yes , you are right. Wellington cricket team gave excellent target in this match and Central Districts cricket team chased the target and that team became winner of this match. Many players did well in this match and we saw excellent performance by players of both teams and we like that kind of matches in which botyh teams play well and give good effort. We saw good target by the players of Wellington and that was looking like Wellington team will win this match but Wellington bowlers could not defend the target in this match and Central Districts opener Boyle played very well and at the start of match gave 77 runs to his team . After this ,Cleaver also gave good effort and tried best to win this match.

The way Dhaka Capitals have formed their team in this year's Bangladesh Premier League, i.e with the players they have purchased, Maybe they will never reach a strong position with these players. Based on Dhaka Capitals' current performance, it will be very difficult for them to reach the knockout stages. The players on this team can't bat properly, they can't bowl properly, and they can't even field properly. Earlier, in a match where Dhaka Capitals' Thisara Perera scored a century, they were also defeated. Similarly, Sabbir Rahman played a great innings in a match yesterday, but his team still lost in that match. Although the Dhaka Capitals' batsmen are suddenly batting well, their team's bowlers are not bowling well.

Both the teams are playing very well in all the matches of Bangla Premier League and their match is getting a lot of interest. SYS has lost two of its matches and plays well in one match and is playing poorly in that match as well. Their team has bowling that neither has the guts to stop runs nor struggles to take wickets. Dhaka batsmen have the best chance to win this match as their batsmen can set big target for SYS in 20 overs. What is even better is that their batsmen have lost only 3 wickets which has helped their runs a lot. His batsman Latin Das, who scored 73 runs, helped set up the big target.Dhaka batsmen have scored 193 runs in 20 overs which has become a big target for SYS.  Now they have to keep their bowling good which will weaken the SYS batsmen.

Dhaka Capitals failed to win another match, they scored a lot of runs but still they could not win. I think it has become more difficult for Dhaka Capitals to win against any other team in recent times. It is true that Liton Kumar Das played very well in yesterday's match, but he cannot perform consistently. After many matches in the Bangladesh Premier League, he was able to perform a little better yesterday. I mentioned earlier that although Dhaka Capitals' batting performance suddenly good, their bowling performance was not good, which is why they lost the match. Mustafizur Rahman bowled a little well in the beginning, but they couldn't bowl well later.

Is there any separate thread for the SA20 league? The third season of this season yesterday, with Durban's Super Giants defeating Pretoria Capitals by 2 runs in a very close match yesterday. Kane Williamson made 60 for DSG, however Senuran Muthusamy returned figures of 4-0-21-3 for the Capitals. In the second innings, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Will Jacks got the Capitals to 154/0 in 12 overs. They needed another 56 runs from the next 8 overs, with 10 wickets to spare. It may sound unbelievable, but once Gurbaz and Jacks fell to Noor Ahmad, the Capitals batting lineup fell like a peck of cards.

It was really unbelievable. I was watching the live score of the last few overs of the match. Pretoria Capitals batted well after Durban Super Giants threw a huge target. They were in a good position till 18 overs but due to some wickets falling towards the end and not being able to play the balls, they could not get to the desired position. I could not have imagined that Pretoria Capitals would lose this match. But in cricket, positions can change at any time. The required run rate to win was very low but suddenly the batsmen started falling wickets in such a way that they would probably lose all their wickets. Despite in leading position in the whole match, Pretoria Capitals failed to finish in the end.

SA20 #2 — DSG vs PC

Saw talks about this match on Twitter, had to watch highlights. To lose a game from a stage when you needed 41 runs off 41 balls, with 9 wickets in hand — this is choke of the highest order!

Reminded me of SA vs IND in T20WC last year but here PC pretty much did everything themselves to lose.

Crowd was better than expected.

You are right, Dhaka Capitals have not won a match so far Too bad for Dhaka Capitals they are at the bottom of the points table. Against Sylhet Strikers when Dhaka Capitals batsmen batted responsibly and gave the opponent a target of 193 runs maybe I thought that if Dhaka Capitals bowlers can bowl responsibly then maybe they will win the match against Sylhet Strikers. can do  Dhaka Capitals collect fairly good runs but they can't win the match. They are at the bottom of the points table after losing the match against Sylhet Strikers. The Sylhet Strikers batsmen were under a bit of pressure after losing 1 wicket in the beginning to bat against the target of 193 runs given by Dhaka Capitals, but Zakir Hasan batted responsibly for the team. Sylhet Strikers won by three wickets against Dhaka Capitals. Congratulations Sylhet Strikers for this win.

Each team will play 12 matches in the first round, and Dhaka Capitals has already played half of them. They have already lost all those matches, and I believe they are going to be eliminated even though it's not official. A team has to win at least eight matches out of 12 matches to qualify for the semi-finals. So, it is predicted that Dhaka Capitals will be eliminated.

Their opposition was Sylhet Strikers, which had already lost its first three matches. However, it managed to win against Dhaka Capitals, which was its first win in this BPL. So, Dhaka Capitals is the only team that has not won any matches so far.

What a day in Big Bash league two matches were played today while in first game Sydney Sixers having amazing hitting from legendary Steven Smith who hits 121 not out on 64 balls and give great platform for his team.

Sydney Sixers give huge target of 221 to Perth Scorchers, but they fail but fight till end and lost match by just 14 runs few good innings but still not good enough to have win for their team.

Second match of the day played between Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat we have another amazing inning from Mathew Short as he hits 109 runs on 54 ball have good support from Chris Lynn 47 and Alex Ross 44 in reply we have Brisbane Heat bundled out on 195 and lost this match by 56 runs which is big defeat by them against bottom side.

Yes, You are right, Durban Super Giants hold the nurvse and win the match by 2 wickets against Pretoria Capitals. While chasing down target Pretoria Capitals score 207 runs, just short 3 runs from winning the match. The man of the Match is Rahmanullah Gurbaz for his outstanding batting performance scored 89 runs from just 43 balls, unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 11 runs short. from Durban Super Giants Kane Williamson played an amazing inning of 60 runs unbeaten from just 40 balls assited Durban Super Giants to cross 200 plus total. Noor Ahmad picked two important wickets by just giving 34 runs and Chris Woakes also picked two crucial wickets.

Yes it was very exciting day in Big Bash League with two great matches happening. In first match Steven Smith played amazingly well scoring 121 runs without getting in just 64 balls. This helped his team Sydney Sixers set very high score of 221 runs against Perth Scorchers. By the way Scorchers tried very hard they could not reach target and lost match by 14 runs.

Second match was also very exciting, with Mathew Short scoring 109 runs in just 54 balls and getting help from Chris Lynn 47 runs and Alex Ross 44 runs. This helped Adelaide Strikers win match by big margin of 56 runs against Brisbane Heat who got bowled out for 195 runs.

This is one of hilarious moments I saw recently.

Liam Haskett the bowler gets hit for a six, his dad catches the ball in stadium (what are the chances for this to happen!?), couple looks disappointed that their son got hit for a six and shrug off by wife at the end is icing on the cake.

Is there any separate thread for the SA20 league?

No there is no separate thread for SA20 league. You can either discuss about these matches here or in the League and Domestic Cricket discussion thread.
However, we do have separate threads for IPL, Big Bash League Discussion Thread , Bangladesh Premier League(Cricket) , Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread, Should we have a separate thread for SA20 league too or maybe that league is not too popular ? What do you and other people suggest in this ?

The 2nd match between DSG and PC was hosted at the Kingsmead stadium. DSG won the toss and elected to batting first. DSG team won game by 2 runs and this was the close game between teams. DSG set a total runs for 209 and won the match by 2 runs. PC chased a total runs for 207 and lost the match. I hope PC they will play better in the next match. The performance of DSG team in the match was full strength and energy. PC also has the potential to win but they need more hardworking. The players from DSG and PC played a friendly games. The best batting performance in DSG team was by Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 89 runs and 35 balls hitting 3 fours and 5 sixs. Congratulations to DSG for their upcoming matches.

Against Sylhet Strikers when Dhaka Capitals batsmen batted responsibly and gave the opponent a target of 193 runs maybe I thought that if Dhaka Capitals bowlers can bowl responsibly then maybe they will win the match against Sylhet Strikers. can do  Dhaka Capitals collect fairly good runs but they can't win the match. They are at the bottom of the points table after losing the match against Sylhet Strikers. The Sylhet Strikers batsmen were under a bit of pressure after losing 1 wicket in the beginning to bat against the target of 193 runs given by Dhaka Capitals, but Zakir Hasan batted responsibly for the team. Sylhet Strikers won by three wickets against Dhaka Capitals. Congratulations Sylhet Strikers for this win.

They need to improve themselves and win matches if they play like this in their next matches they will go to the bottom which will clearly show that they have no intention of winning matches in this league.  Yes I thought the same because 193 runs in 20 overs is quite a good target but I also knew that SYS batsmen also gave a target of 205 runs in a match so I was hoping that SY  S will win.  But on the other hand, it was also said that Dhaka bowlers will play well, but nothing like that has been seen.  Their bowling is weak in this which they should work hard for, if they don't, the hope they have will also be lost.  I think they are doing their duty as they want to win this league.  Congratulations to SYS for this win as they played very well to win the match and get the points.

The last time I watched the BPL match between Dhaka Capitals and Rangpur Riders, the Dhaka Capitals performed the worst I have ever seen, and they lost that match. Neither their bowlers nor batting lineup was complete, but watching today's match, the Dhaka Capitals have grown much more than last time. I think they did not win a single match in this league, but today they set a very huge target and have a great chance to win this match. However, for winning, both the batting and bowling need to be perfect, and this time their bowlers did not give a hand to the team. If they struggle a little bit for winning, then maybe they can defeat the team easily.

The International League T20, 2025 has started. The opening match of the International League is underway. Dubai Capitals vs MI Emirates is fighting in this opening match. In this match, Dubai Capitals batted at the beginning of the game and finished the entire innings by batting and gave the MI Emirates team a target of 134 runs. MI Emirates is now batting to meet the target of 134 runs. The batting of the MI Emirates team is very disappointing. At the beginning of the batting, the MI Emirates team has lost 4 wickets for 38 runs so far. Looking at the weak batting of the MI Emirates team, it seems that the MI Emirates team will lose this match against Dubai Capitals by a huge margin. Even then, let's wait until the end of this match, and let's see what happens.

This was the exciting and intense game btw Dhaka and Strikers team. Dhaka played very poor in entire series and lost all sixes games and Strikers rank also very worst and they win only 1 game and lost 3 games. Dhaka batting line effort was good in this game and bowling line was poor and did not stop the Batsman of Strikers team to chase runs. Zakir played well and he scored 58 runs in 27 balls and hitted seven 4s and three 6s. Strikers team opening was poor and both opener batsman Rakheem and George showed poor effort and both total 11 runs (0+11). Litton effort was useless in game and he scored 73 runs in 43 balls and hitted ten 4s and one 6s. Strikers team chased down all runs and won game by 3 wickets and 8 balls.

Yes International League T20 2025 has started with very exciting first match between Dubai Capitals and MI Emirates. Dubai Capitals batted first and scored 133 runs which is target for MI Emirates. But MI Emirates tried very much well. They scored 132 runs. By the way they started very poorly I was not expecting that they will reach near to the target but they lost the match by two runs which is really amazing and made the match more excited. Congratulations to Dubai Capitals on their win.
