T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Vishnu.Reang]

Great come back by Bangladesh so far. I think Bangladesh have the chance to win the match easily unless a huge disaster comes in batting line. Hopefully it will not.

Very poor performance by the Afghan batsmen. As usual, they wasted a good start. From 75/0 in 9 overs, they slumped to 138/7 in 20 overs. During the last 11 overs, they managed to score only 63 runs at a loss of 7 wickets. Almost the same thing happened during their previous match as well (against Zimbabwe). Bangladesh will win this match, if no miracles occur.

I think you are wrong. Bangladesh has already lost 2 wickets. I think this was the disaster which you were fearing from the Bangladeshi team ?

The target is not so big so they can still manage to win if they are able to get a partnership between Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim.

I can not think that why Bangladesh can not keep alive long their Top order bat man's.  Always they lost first 2-3 wickets so quickly. I think for this reason Bangladesh can not run their winning journey for long time. Todays target is not high. So there is a chance to win the match. But Musfiqur Rahim and Sakib Al hasan will failed again in short time period. Then Bangladesh will loss this match IMO.

Bangladesh already lost two wickets and you do not need any miracle if they keep on loosing wickets at regular intervals  , since it is a small target and if they can play carefully it is an easy target to chase. The tactics they will be using is to keep the last 4 over at the end for Rashid Khan to operate and to contain the run rate in the beginning and if they loose wickets now it will be difficult to attack Rashid Khan in the end.

[Vishnu.Reang]

All of a sudden, the match has become interesting. Bangladesh lost some quick wickets to the pace/spin combo of Naveen-ul-Haq/Rashid Khan and they are now struggling at 105/6 after 16 overs. They need 34 runs from 24 balls, with 4 wickets in hand. Rashid seems to be in splendid form, and he has got two overs remaining. Naveen-ul-Haq is left with one over. This is going to be tight!!!

[ene1980]

As long as Shakib Al Hasan is in the crease Bangladesh is going to win this match, Rashid Khan does need to come up with a magical over to defeat them.
Shakib Al Hasan just smashed Rashid Khan and now they are nearing the target, they need to restrict the runs and pick a couple of wickets now to put pressure on Bangladesh which is highly unlikely.

[sujonali1819]

Man of the moments of todays match is Shakib Al Hasan. Really this is a amazing performance by Shakib. Just Bangladesh have won the match by 4 wickets and 6  balls remain. Rashid khan give 18 runs at 18 overs and after 18 overs the match go very easy for Bangladesh.

Yes, he did 
It's again Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh is depending on this man for a long time. The worst is our top order, if we get manage to have good top order, I think Bangladesh wwould be great team.
Tamim, Soumyo, Liton, Mithun, no one could give us a perfect combo. I can't remember when I last saw a good top order scoring from Bangladesh. However, there's no way to deny that so far Tamim was the best top order in Bangladesh team. I'm not saying calling him back, lol. He don't deserve it.

[Vishnu.Reang]

The 7th wicket partnership between Shakib Al Hasan and Mosaddek Hossain rescued Bangladesh. Afghanistan was so close to victory, but as usual they let off the pressure at a crucial situation. The turning point was the 18th over, in which Rashid Khan conceded 18 runs. That changed the course if the match, as before the start of that over Bangladesh needed 27 runs from 3 overs.

[AB de Royse777]

Bangladesh needs to perform as team. They are heavily depending on Shakib which is not good. Not every day he can save them and perform. Anyway, it was a good win for Bangladesh which should boost some of their confidence for the final.

If you closely analysis the match, it is Afghanistan who dominated in batting and bowling first and then lost their way.
They started well with the bat but did not bat the last 10 overs well and resulted in giving a small total to the Bangladesh. Again the Afghanistan bowled well in the beginning but could not break the middle lower order batsmen partnerships and hence lost the match.

Bangladesh will have home advantage when they will play the final on 24 of this month. At the same time they will be more under pressure because they cannot afford to lose the final in front of home crowd.
Regarding Shakib, he is playing well for the team but how often do we see that the best in-form player of the team fails in the last most important match. Bangladesh has to come up with a plan if Shakib fails.

@RapTarX @Haunebu haha guys don't get mad at me. Neither am I comparing Pant and Dhoni nor am I trying to replace Dhoni with Pant atleast not not until he retires. But we have to face the fact that Dhoni is nearing his retirement and we have fill his spot. And I think Pant has better chances of filling the it if he isn't reckless

Afghanistan has this habit of throwing away the advantage. While batting, they had built such a good partnership (between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai), but once these two got out, their batting collapsed completely. During the second innings also, they were in such a strong position, until Rashid Khan conceded 18 runs of the 18th over.

Just found out that Shakib saved them once again which is not surprising considering how bad their team has been these days. Once Shakib retires, Bangladesh will be in a horrible position unless they get their act together.

Lol. No one is mad at you. We were talking about the ideal replacement for MSD which is inevitable and I feel like India might have to look at other players to take up his spot since Pant is not exactly performing these days.

There is no doubt that Shakib Al Hasan is a special player who will get selected in any team around the world but what the selectors have to do right now is to groom young talents and they have start from the root level and built a team and if they are not doing that then it will be a big problem when their star players retire. Most of the top countries are grooming young players and hence we see talents even when the old super stars retire, Kohli, Smith, Root are prime examples as they played under top talents and got the experience and now top players themselves.

Bangladesh needs to find a way to perform when Shakib do not do well. They are heavily depending on Shakib. Anyway, It was a good warm up match before the final. Let's see who learnt better from this match and use it to win the final.

India vs South Africa 3rd T20 today. Obviously India is favorite and should have an easy win. I will be watching the live match.

[sujonali1819]

About 3 and half hours left to start India vs South Africa 's 3rd T20 match. Where India will fight by their best team with South Africa. What do you think about the match? Can South Africa defeat India?  

Keep in mind that Previously 1st match was abandoned without a ball bowled and the second match won India  by 7 wickets.

[AB de Royse777]

Can South Africa defeat India?

The broken South Africa team can not give any competition to India. I already gave my prediction in the last post. India will win this match with good margin of either wickets or runs.


I will be cheering for India.

Current Indian team is very strong and the South Africa does not match their class. You will be lucky if you can see a close match between the two teams.
I am looking for another one sided match today with an easy Indian win.
