T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[ibuddy122505]

England is not in  a good position. They won only on the basis of Harry Brook's innings. The performance of the players has been  very erratic. Pakistan had given a target of only 165 runs. This is not a big target. Even then, england's top order  and middle order failed completely. Harry brook played a wonderful innings of 10 runs from 51 balls. Sam curran also scored  16 and Will jacks scored 28 runs. Pakistan are undoubtedly unlucky. If they could have taken Brook's wicket quickly, Pakistan could have won the match.

I will agree with you that England is not in its best form at the moment because we saw yesterday where almost all the batsmen failed, only Harry Brook's survival allowed England to avoid a win here and I don't think England could have achieved anything in yesterday's match.
England's teamwork failed miserably yesterday. Now it remains to be seen how the England team will fare against the much stronger New Zealand team.

England captain played a brilliant innings and led his team to victory from a very difficult situation. His performance was outstanding and showed great character under pressure. However, we also saw the weaker side of the team, as the other batters failed to support him. Stronger opponents are coming up next, and the team cannot rely on one player to carry them every time. Hopefully, they will deliver a complete team performance in their next match.

Hope for the best today for the Sri Lankan team, me the supporter of Sri Lanka from the first day until the last day and hopefully they will reach till the last day of final, however to reach there, they first need to cross this milestone and then something better could began for them.  

Since Sri Lanka had a bad start in the Super 8 , it raises many tensions, and at the same time, if we think from the point of view of New Zealand, it is also a crucial game for them to have three points. The last match against Pakistan was covered by rain and one point was awarded to each team. They got three wickets of the NZ batsmen but gave away 82 runs, they need to get more wickets quickly and do not let NZ batsmen make over a 160+ target.

Against all odds Sri Lanka in control of game. New Zealand batting collapsed which increasing chances of their defeat in this game with this match and result Group 2 is going to be more entertaining because England is already secured their spot into semifinal while rest of three teams are now on waiting list.

Sri Lanka lost their first game against England now leading in second while Pakistan and New Zealand on same level, but both are going to face challenges in their last games. Pakistan will face Sri Lanka while New Zealand is going to face England with the level of performance and quality England is now looking better side for having top spot in this group. End of 14 overs New Zealand 88 for 6 most chances, they will have 140 to 150 which is easily chaseable for islanders.

New zealand  were considered favourites in this match. But they have stumbled badly  in today's match. They have lost 6 important wickets for just 84 runs. At the same time , their batting has been very slow since the beginning of the innings. The team has managed to score only 90 runs in 15 overs. The pitch may not be batting friendly. Even then, if they give  a target of less than 160, there is no possibility of winning. Although Sri Lanka's performance has been a bit erratic, this team is not weak.  new zealand's batsmen are very experienced and talented. So New zealand should still try to score 150+ . Cole McConchie and Mitchell Santner are at the crease now.

[Haunebu]

Looks like Sri Lanka is about to win their match against the Kiwis quite comfortably thanks to some epic bowling by their spinners. Chameera bowled well too and it does not seem like they are missing Pathirana at the moment. Great stuff Lankans.

New Zealand might score something close to 150 which is way below par in my opinion. Looks like Sri Lanka might move forward to the semifinals after all.

This is such a weird post. You got the ending right, but wrote some nonsense for the rest of the post. Smh!

[JSRAW]

Srilanka were looking in alright situation but death overs kinda ruining the momentum for them.

Also, hard to trust their batters considering the way they folded against England and that too against will Jacks. Kiwis got better spin attack in comparison to poms.

We saw Sri Lanka's strange bowling today. After 15 overs, New Zealand had only 90 runs, and the team had lost 6 wickets. Even then, they gave a target of 169 runs in 20 overs. New Zealand scored 78 runs in the last 5 overs.

Captain Mitchell Santner played one of the most important innings, he scored 47 runs in 26 balls. Besides, McConchie managed to score 31 runs on the scoreboard. The way New Zealand started today's innings. It was challenging for them to collect up to 150.

After giving a target of 169 runs, New Zealand is in the safe zone. Sri Lanka could not score any runs in the first over and lost the important wicket of Nissanka

The pitch is not batting friendly. The target of 169 runs is enough to win if New Zealand bowlers can do their job properly. It is quite difficult to collect 160+ on this pitch.

Sri Lanka could not start their innings well. After 4 overs, Sri Lanka could collect only 11 runs. They could not collect even at an average of 3 runs per over. Pathum nissanka and aasalanka have already returned to the dressing room. In such a situation, it is quite difficult for Sri Lanka to collect 158 ​​runs in 16 overs. They will have to collect at an average of about 10 runs per over.

New Zealand team scored 168 runs against Sri Lanka today for the loss of 7 wickets. Only if Sri Lanka team can meet this target can they have some hope otherwise they must leave the T20 World Cup as they have already lost a match. In the meantime we can see that Sri Lanka team is batting and they have lost their main wicket, Pathum Nissanka is a great batsman he got out for 0 runs which indicates their defeat. If he is under a lot of pressure at the moment after losing 2 wickets their batting performance does not seem to be very advantageous. If Kusal Mendis cannot bat well then it will not be possible for Sri Lanka team to reach the threshold of victory, already New Zealand team's bowling performance is very strong. New Zealand team's chances of winning this match are very high if they can take a few more wickets from Sri Lanka then New Zealand will ensure victory.

Matt Henry done real damage like yesterday Shaheed Afridi done for Pakistan, but they fail to keep momentum and lost match against England today same situation but New Zealand looking much better side with their fielding and bowling options.
9 balls 2 wickets no run what a start for them Sri Lanka feeling pressure, and they can face early exit from World Cup as well because in case lost of this match they are out total still looking chaseable, but they are having no depth in batting which keep them alive in this match Pakistani fans are surely going to be frustrated with this performance from Sri Lanka because with the win of New Zealand Pakistan and Sri Lanka both are going to be out of event and England and New Zealand are going to enjoy spots in semifinal from this group.

To be honest, I was really expecting the is core from New Zealand team that will be more than 180 but unfortunately they stop at 168 with losing 7 wickets. But even after that, I don't think it's a favorable score or target for Sri Lanka because the Sri Lankan team has lost only 69 runs, that's six wickets. Currently, they need 100 runs from 38 balls and have to score 15.78 runs per over.

Which I would say is impossible for the Sri Lankan team from this situation. Anyway, this performance of the New Zealand team at least means that they will qualify for the next round from Group B of the Super Eights.

How do you think New Zealand will score more than 180+ after such a bad start? New Zealand's top order is not playing well. Their batting was slow. And they lost quick wickets too. New Zealand's total in the first 10 overs was 75/3. In the next 5 overs, they managed to collect only 15 runs on the scoreboard. and lost three wickets. In the last 4 overs again we saw New Zealand's aggressive batting. Their collection was 70 runs in 4 overs. The team managed to set a target of 169 runs.

Apart from Kamindu Mendis and Wellalage, none of the Sri Lankan squad batted well. Mendis's collection was 31 and Wellalage's collection was 29. Rachin Ravindra picked up four wickets today.

Actually, I said this from the performance of the New Zealand team, as you already mentioned, they scored 75 runs in the first 10 overs and lost only three wickets, although they lost their first two wickets a little early, but their run rate in the first 10 overs was around 8. And that I don't think is bad, and in the T20 format, if the first 10 overs have a run rate of 8, then it is not unusual to expect a score of 180.

But the problem was when the New Zealand team lost the third wicket, meaning that from then on they gradually reduced their run rate instead of increasing it, due to which they were not seen to score more than 168 in the end. Although this is only 12 runs less than 180.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka,  Sri Lanka lost game again today and now Sri Lanka team has been disqualified from Super Eight. Now let’s see how Pakistan will play against Sri Lanka team. This game was played at R Premadasa Stadium and in start of game, Sri Lanka team won toss and they elected field lineup first and gave batting line to NZ team. NZ team set 168 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Rachin effort in batting was helpful and he made 32 runs in 22 balls and hitted three 4s and one 6s. Mitchell also batted so brilliant and he helped a lot team to win this game and scored 47 runs in 26 balls and hitted two 4s and four 6s. Sri Lanka team failed to chase target and lost game by big margin 61 runs. Rachin got player of game award because his effort was outstanding and he took down 4 wickets in 4 overs. Congratulations NZ team won game and NZ team is 2 nd in Group B.

Sri Lanka is the first team to get eliminated from the super 8 stage. Looks like Sri Lankan batsmen lost the track after losing against Zimbabwe. Now the equation has become a bit complicated for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals. On the other side, it will be difficult for India to qualify for semi-finals if West Indies win against South Africa tomorrow. I'm expecting an exciting match between them.

[Webetcoins]

At the end of 16 overs, New Zealand were at 97 for 6 and at that point everyone was talking about Sri Lanka but Mitchell Santner and Cole McConchie scored 71 runs on just 24 balls which changed the match momentum because 169 was looking highly challenging to be chased.

Matt Henry took 2 quick wickets which was another turning point, Rachin Ravindra got 4 wickets which really brings big win for New Zealand, now their spot for semifinal is look like done due to good NRR but final qualification can be confirmed only after Pakistan vs Sri Lanka and England vs New Zealand matches.

NZ team was struggling badly in first 10 overs but thanks to partnership of Mitchell Santner and Cole McConchie they were able to score 168 runs at the end of 20 overs. Yesterday we saw English captain playing a match winning innings and today we saw NZ captain Mitchell Santner playing a crucial innings of 47 runs. Without partnership of Mitchell Santner and Cole McConchie, it wasn't possible for NZ to give such a challenging target. Sri Lankan team was not able to bat well today and scored just 107 runs in 20 overs.

In the Men's T20  World Cup New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by 61 runs. New Zealand opens inning first with Finn Allen and Tim Siefert and among the openers Allen give a good start to the team by scoring 23 runs but Siefert losses his wicket early on 8 runs and in middle order Rachin Ravindra played a well knock of 32 runs and also Mitchell Santner played a well innings of 47 runs and at the end of the innings New Zealand set a strong target of 169 runs. Sri Lanka opens inning with Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis and both the openers don't give a positive start to the team by and Mendis scores only 11 runs and also Nissanka losses his wicket early on duck and then the team was panicked and struugled in batting but  in middle order Kamindu Mendis played good inning of 31  runs and also Wellalage played a well knock of 29 runs but Sri Lanka can't chase the target successfully and scores only 107 runs and New Zealand won the game by 61 runs.

The England team proved itself to be a very strong team throughout the World Cup especially in the Super Eight matches when England first two wickets fell I was sure that Pakistan would win this match but Pakistan disappointed its fans a lot because Pakistan had not faced any defeat before the world Cup but as soon as they entered the world Cup they were eliminated in the Super Eight matches which everyone is very angry about.If England captain Harry Brook had not scored the most runs for his team then perhaps Pakistan would have won.Harry Brook completed a century and secured the winning.Pakistan still needs a lot of practice.

Sri Lanka's humiliating exit from the Super 8s has already been confirmed after two consecutive defeats. They played two matches in the Super 8s, where they lost both matches by more than 50 runs. The coaching staff must explain such a shameful defeat on their home ground. In the last two matches, the Sri Lankan batsmen could not put up any fight, rather they were helpless in front of the opposing bowlers. A good plan is needed to win World Cup matches, where Sri Lanka has looked very weak. Today's match was a short-run one, although New Zealand got the capital to fight, Sri Lanka completely failed to chase the target.
