T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[bryant.coleman]

NZ vs BAN second T20 is underway. BAN won the toss and selected to bowl first. This decision is turning out to be good for BAN as they have already taken 4 wickets with NZ only able to score 102. But unfortunately rain has hit the match and it has been delayed.

The point to note here is that the New Zealand batsmen hasn't slowed down despite the loss of wickets. And they don't need to. Their lower order is very strong and therefore they can continue to play big hits at this point. Glenn Phillips is batting with 30 runs from 17 balls. The other batsmen just need to provide support to him. But the arrival of rain may bring Duckworth/Lewis in to play and that will negatively impact New Zealand as they have already lost 4 wickets.

Match resumes as now Bangladesh need 170 runs in 16 overs start is not bad at all as they are 30/1 in just 4 overs even its very tough target for them against a big team, but we will be able to have some entertaining cricket for some time.

Incredible fightback from Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Naim, but I am not sure whether Bangladesh will be able to reach the target. After 10 overs they are 94/1. Soumya Sarkar is having a strike rate of around 200 now, and he has hit 3 sixes. If he stays there for some more time, then Bangladesh will definitely fancy their chances. Mohammad Mithun to come next and he is also in terrific form.

Remember the soft signal controversy in Ind vs Eng series, when 3rd umpire stayed with the on-field umpire's call on very obvious decision -Boundary Catch-?

BCCI got rid of it in this IPL season. On-field umpire still have authority to give soft signals but from now on if there are enough evidence then 3rd umpire can rule out the decision.

It was good to see Bangladesh show some fight in this match however it still wasn't enough to get the win. I thought they bowled well early on to keep New Zealand batsman from making runs but they couldn't stop the partnership of Phillips and Mitchell which helped New Zealand reach a decent total. Bangladesh did fight back strong after losing the first early wicket but after the big partnership from the second wicket stand they basically couldn't put big enough partnerships together to win the match. At least they showed some fight which they can take into the third and final match.

This was perhaps the best performance by Bangladesh so far in the tour. Their bowlers still conceded runs at a rate of almost 10 per over, but when they came out to bat they gave some issues to the New Zealand bowlers. Soumya Sarkar batted exceptionally well for his 51, although I thought that he had the responsibility to stay there and guide the team to a victory. But once he got out, the Bangladesh chase just folded up. So only one match remains in the tour now, and I just hope Bangladesh will be able to win that one.

Bangladesh has played terribly badly in the entire series. I didn't expect such a bad performance from them. Although the New Zealand team is much better than the Bangladesh team. Still, I expected Bangladesh to win at least a few matches. They played well enough in the last match. But there is no player in the Bangladesh squad who can win the team by batting for 171 runs in 16 overs. I won't expect them to win the last match, I hope they will lose the last match by fewer runs.

I'll not be surprised they get Whitewash tag as like ODI series. These are worthless series up until this point and every one of the matches are one sided. Bangladesh Cricket are getting down and down. Their key players Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Musfiqur Rahim are missing and it's completely demonstrated in the field. Thus, we can't expect anything special from this squad.

There are some serious issues in the relationship between the Bangladesh Cricket Board and some of the senior players. This is in turn having a very negative impact on the prospects of the national team. Also, it is worrying that the country is not producing younger players of enough quality, to replace these ageing players. Even now the chances of a Bangladesh victory drops to near zero, when Shakib al Hasan is not playing.

Covid making players life tough in the bio bubble. 2 Australian players Josh Hazelwood and Mitchell Marsh pulled out from this IPL season as they have been part of different bio secure bubble on and off for the last 1 year.

Josh Hazelwood is part of the CSK, guess now they might stick with the Chahar-Ngidi combination.

Jason Roy replacing Mitchell Marsh in SRH. This is fine back up for SRH as Jason Roy was in good form against India in T-20s.

I was expecting this.. LOL.. Hazlewood's contract is worth just $280,000. It looks like a pittance when we compare that to the contracts for other pacers such as Pat Cummins ($2,200,000) and Kyle Jamieson ($2,100,000). So he is not losing much if he pulls out of the tournament. IPL auctions surprise me sometimes. Take Mumbai Indians for example. They have Nathan Coulter-Nile who is contracted for $700,000 per year, and Adam Milne, who is priced at $480,000. But the first choice overseas pacer is Trent Boult, whose contract value is just $310,000.

That's what happen when 1 franchise release their players and other goes for the same players with the bidding war. Mumbai Indian has clever management, they identify the talent before anyone else and buy them at fair price. They even got Bumrah cheaply, close to 1 million and compare this with other bowlers like Unadkat. MI never released Boult-Bumrah-Malinga, you can imagine if somehow they release Boult-Bumrah then those 2 will surely attract another bidding war, same goes for poor Hazelwood.

Kyle Jamieson price is high so he needs to perform really well for the RCB otherwise he's not going to fetch another big contract next year.

This is very unfair for players such as Boult. He would easily get upwards of $1 million, if he goes for auction. But since Mumbai Indians got him very cheaply (many years back), he don't get a chance for a higher salary until the full auctions occur. And who knows? By the time a full auction happens, his form may decline and no one may bid for him. Look at Kedar Jadhav. His price tag has come down from ₹8 crore to ₹2 crore (which is not surprising actually).

Will CSK replace Hazlewood?
If yes, then whom you think is a good replacement?

Do they need a replacement? Hazlewood is a good bowler, but he was underutilized during the last season (played just three matches, and took one wicket). They have good overseas bowlers in Lungi Ngidi and Hardus Viljoen. And regarding local players, they have Shardul Thakur,  Deepak Chahar and KM Asif. And also they have Harishankar Reddy, who recently took the wicket of MS Dhoni in a practise match.

But only 4 overseas players allowed and CSK is not interested in giving a spot to the foreign player which is clearly visible so Hazlewood or Lungi Ngidi may not take a regular spot in the playing XI unless the pitch assists pace and bounce. They also Bought Gowtham in this season but I am not sure he is having a spot even in this season but lets see when the tournament starts then only we can see the strategies of MSD.

Hahaha, Bangladesh loses today's match too. I doubt that Bangladeshi players really know of what is they playing! Their batsmen are failed to score, bowlers completely incompetent, fielding is just disgusting. I don't remember the last time I saw such bad fielding. Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo completely failed to perform well with the team. Haturusingha was much better than Doming's.

I don’t know why did you’ll think that Bangladesh had any chance against New Zealand in this series, because in my personal opinion they were absolutely poor match after match. Furthermore Bangladesh should go back to the basics and try and improve their game, because they do have the potential and all they need to do is tap into it.

Let's see what happen in the next auction, which is big one and if i'm not wrong then majority of players would be on table to grab except retention quota. Back then Kedar Jadhav was in demand, i remember his couple of excellent innings against the England -Australia and when bowling he used to be a Indian team golden arm too, so his past and present price tag is based on demand supply.

I don't think Bangladesh had any chance against New Zealand. But I thought they would win at least one match in ODI and T20 format. Honestly, I didn't really expect Bangladesh to play so badly. No match was competitive. All the matches were one-sided. As the days go by, the performance of Bangladesh team is getting worse. Some players are performing poorly in every match. Youngsters can be given a chance as their replacement.
