T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[bryant.coleman]

The pitch is really playing a good role in every match its an easy thing that the subcontinent is always make such a crease mostly in Bangladesh .However Newzealand played really on the last match they won .The series become more interesting now .The next match is schedule on tomorrow .Newzealand will try hard to make it 2-2 on the other hand Bangladesh will try to win the series before the last match .Let's see what really happen on Mirpur in Banglasdesh.

Anything will be a bonus for New Zealand. Remember that they sent such a young team to Bangladesh, and they got whacked in the first two matches. But they came back strongly in the third match, with the Kiwi spinners routing the much more experienced Bangladeshi batsmen. If they could make it 2-2, then it will be some sort of an achievement. And in all probability, it will give a big boost for New Zealand ahead of the T20 World Cup. Also, it needs to be remembered that Bangladesh needs to play the qualifier stage, while New Zealand goes directly to the main stage of the world cup.

New Zealand is experimenting with the players and giving youngsters the opportunity but it is hard for anyone to bat in pitches like these. The positive aspect is that the New Zealand spinners are taking this opportunity and since the World Cup is played in UAE the spinners will get a chance to play.

And in all probability, it will give a big boost for New Zealand ahead of the T20 World Cup. Also, it needs to be remembered that Bangladesh needs to play the qualifier stage, while New Zealand goes directly to the main stage of the world cup.

Bangladesh will easily qualify as the match is played in spin friendly pitches in the UAE. The main issue is see with New Zealand is that their main players are rested and they cannot come out and play well without any match practice.

You are expecting too much from and a fresh team like NZ. One win by them does not mean they will be able to level the series. Bangladesh whereas is far much experienced and this will be an advantage for them today. I am sure they would come back and win today's match. It is highly unlikely that NZ will win this series.

Nothing is guaranteed, especially if the format is T20. The advantage for Bangladesh is that two of the teams from each group in the qualifying stage will progress to the main tournament. So they can afford to lose one match. They are in a relatively easy group, along with Papua New Guinea, Scotland and Oman. Of the other three teams, PNG has been in pathetic form recently. Oman do have the home advantage, but their players lack experience. Only Scotland has a chance to make an upset.

Actually these qualifying matches are a joke, ony a fluke could change the fortunes and i am sure they do not want a team like Bangladesh to sit out due to a fluke in a major ICC event. What i think is, do they really need these qualifying matches as if there are several hundred teams like in Football trying to claim a place and there is only a limited spot .

Like football, the World Wide Games, cricket has not spread so much yet. Very few countries perform regularly in cricket. The ICC could have increased the number of teams performing in the World Cup if it wanted to. Given the opportunity to play on a platform like the World Cup, maybe the weaker teams would try harder to build themselves stronger, maybe their government would care more about cricket.

Shortly after, the fourth T20 match between Bangladesh and New Zealand will be held. The Bangladesh team is hopeful of winning the series by winning this match. And New Zealand wants to keep their hopes of winning the series alive by winning this match. The match is expected to be competitive. There will be no one-sided matches like the first and third matches. We want to enjoy an exciting match.

[bryant.coleman]

New Zealand struggling once again. After 10 overs, they have made 43 for the loss of two wickets. Crucial wickets of Finn Allen and Rachin Ravindra picked up by Bangladesh bowlers. Nasum Ahmed has so far picked up both the wickets to fall. If things go on like this, then I really doubt whether they will be able to make a three digit total in this match. They need some power hitting from the middle and lower order batsmen, so they can make a total of at least 120-130. Anything below that would be a cakewalk for Bangladesh.

[Little Mouse]

Will Young has tried to defend but other players aren’t able to. If someone could assist him, things could be different. I have my bet on Bangladesh to win and will possibly bet on Bangladesh to score 30+ on the power play. Seems Bangladesh will win but will not be that easy.

Yeah, Bangladesh won the match and the series too. It was a low scoring match, but competitive. Making the runs was tough in that field. Captain Mahmudullah batted with responsibility. He made it possible to win the match. Nasum & Mustafizur bowled nicely today. Bangladesh team playing well in their home condition. I'm wondering how people will take it, If they can't perform in the same way in upcoming T20 world cup. The pitch and filed condition won't be same in world cup venue.

While making 96 runs, Bangladesh took 19.1 overs and lost 4 wickets. Just shows how bad the pitch was. New Zealand should not feel disheartened. The pitch was not of international quality and in all probability the ICC will be looking in to this. Some of the younger NZ players performed really well. William Young made a total of 93 runs in 4 matches so far, in some of the most difficult conditions. However, other promising youngsters failed completely in this series (Rachin Ravindra, Finn Allen.etc).

Its really true that the youngsters has failed to prove them because of this bad pitch .There is nothing here except the spin bowling with the turn. Bangladesh are feeling that they are having some confidence with this series but i think this will not help them in the world cup .They will face completely a different pitch hopefully where batsman will get advantage to make game enjoyable to the whole world .T-20 is a power hitting game where actually we wanna see batsman will hit strongly and a fighting game but here happening something different .However Bangladesh are making history with these series .Hope the next match will be something different from all these past .

Dhoni's inclusion as the mentor will be helpful. But I don't know how the other senior players (Kohli, Rohit, Hardik.etc) would react to that. That said, there are no big surprises here. They have gone for the tried and tested. I would have liked Shreyas Iyer included in the main squad (not as reserve), but I guess he hasn't recovered completely from the injury. Glad for Ishan Kishan. He deserved a spot in the squad (but still getting in to the final XI will be difficult). Lot of competition for the middle order - SKY, Kishan, Pant, Hardik, Jadeja.etc.

First ever series win against New Zealand for Bangladesh in T20Is. I congratulate BAN for winning the series and I think Mahmudullah was superb with his batting and the great finish at the end. Many criticizing BCB here remember the insufficient preparation for the world cup, due to the slow turning pitches. That's true. The conditions and pitch always favor the host country. It's better to stop passing lame excuses when the pitch is the same for both teams.

Congratulations to them for winning the Bangladesh series. But I’m not happy watching this series. Firstly it is New Zealand’s second-tier team. And secondly, the pitches of Bangladesh are disgusting. Such a bad pitch should not have been made. Because the T20 World Cup will be held in a few days. So Bangladesh needs to make a world-class pitch in these matches.

Did the BCCI included Dhoni to satisfy his fan following, not sure what he is going to do as i am hearing this for the first time someone who did not get a proper retirement because of situations beyond anyone's control getting appointed as a mentor. I would have liked to see him play one match and then make his retirement and allow the youngsters to continue because i consider him as the best captain during his time.

Dhoni is the only Indian captain who has won the T20 world cup and adding him as a mentor will always help the team. I do not think this move by BCCI was to satisfy Dhoni's fans. I also feel that his playing time is over and now he should consider doing such activities for the next generation. The team looks good on paper but how well they perform on the field that matters.

Dhoni didn't got a proper retirement? The BCCI didn't dropped him from the team despite his poor form and that is enough I guess. He was too senior to be kept out of the playing XI and he was not performing either. The selectors were in a sort of dilemma with what to do with him. On top of that, his presence was also causing internal issues, as the team was split in to two opposing sides (one each led by Dhoni and Kohli). The last time Dhoni scored a ODI hundred was in 2017, but the BCCI persisted with him till 2019.

India only won once, so it is understandable that Dhoni is the only captain that won all the major tournaments for India. If it is not a move by BCCI to satisfy the fans of Dhoni, do you think he needs any money as he is well settled in life and he is still playing in the IPL. BCCI might have offered him VIP treatment just to be a part of the team and not in the playing eleven  .

I am not sure by which standard you view things, if you are not aware of it in 2019 Dhoni scored 600 runs at an average of 60 in ODI and you think he was not in form  . In T20 he averaged 43.33 in 2019 but he just played 5 matches. In the IPL i saw his swinging hard and scoring his patented six in this years IPL and in the last one even though they had a dismal performance as a team and how can you say he was not in form.
