T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Mahdirakib]

Did you really expect that Bangladesh will be able to win by batting for 162 runs? I can't even dream it. If Bangladesh can win this match, it will be a miracle. I think the Bangladesh team will not be able to score more than 110 runs. I have seen in very few matches that Bangladesh has won by batting for a big run chases.

Poor performance by team Bangladesh. Captain Mahmudullah made some wrong decisions. The spinners were bowling better in that pitch while the fast bowlers were expensive. But still he used the fast bowlers by ignoring the spinners. As a result New Zealand has given a big target. Team Bangladesh isn't famous for chasing big scores in T20 format. Although it would be possible but their openers made a slow start. And none of them batted well except Afif Hossain.

Bet for Bangladesh and another lose for me. Bangladesh performed too poor. I wasn’t expected that even though the target was somewhat big I thought it would be a tight one even if Bangladesh lose. Once again, it proved that Tamim Iqbal has no replacement.

With the exception of the spinners from Bangladesh, Ajaj Patel was outstanding over the series. Also, he deserves some attention. Nasum Ahmed, BAN spinners who impressed in the Australia series as well as now against New Zealand. There is a bright future for him. Despite winning the series 3-2, Bangladesh's performance scale was too low. Not to forget that Bangladesh just beat a second string BlackCaps team.

There should not have been a bet for the Bangladesh team to win today. The Bangladesh team has sent the key players of their squad to rest. Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mustafiz were not in the team. It is easy to understand that this match was not very important to them. Moreover, the performance of Bangladesh is not stable. In this case, it is foolish to bet on this team.

I agree with you. Maybe Bangladesh has won this series. But their performance was not that much good. The series against Australia was much better for them than that. Despite being New Zealand's second-tier team, they played well enough. Especially the performance of the second match and today's match surprised me.

You are absolutely right because they already won the series, and now they are playing just for formality if someone going with Bangladesh it's really his own fault mostly this happens teams give rest star players after winning series for giving some opportunity to youngsters even Bangladesh won series but still they need some good work for better results.

I never like and appreciate the resting of key players for a supposed dad rubber match because it simply kills the momentum of the team as a whole. I understand the players need to be rotated to test the bench strength but sometimes testing the bench strength too much leads to a situation how Sri Lankan cricket is right now.

Losing and winning becomes a habit just like the Australian team of the 2000s and you would see almost the identical team playing from them in every match because when you win together, you develop confidence and this game is more about the mentality and form than about the technique. On his day, even a certain Chris gayle can struggle to hit boundaries because of form while a new player can find the boundary because of his recent form.

The only chance for Bangladesh to win against New Zealand and their inexperience was to use their spinners effectively and if the team management and their captain miscalculated and did not play to their strengths then you should not expect any other result. And even while chasing Bangladesh was planning to take the game till the end and thereby putting more pressure on the batsman and once they start loosing wickets they lost the plot altogether.

South Africa started the T20 series against Sri Lanka with a win, i did not expect anything difference as it looks like chasing is a huge task in the series and hence the toss is crucial .

So you are implying that the team batting first will be winning the matches in the series, will try placing a bet from next match onwards and will come back to you  . Sri Lanka is not having a great T20 team and they are inexperienced while South Africa is playing their best team in the T20 format as Quinton de Kock, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram and Anrich Nortje are back in the squad.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat in the last T20 match. Finn Allen played a devastating inning of 41 off 24 balls. He has batted brilliantly. My guess is that New Zealand will be able to collect 145-150 runs. Shoriful Islam has been given a place in the team today as a replacement for Mustafiz. He bowled 3 overs and gave 38 runs.

You were right NZ destroyed BAN in the last T20 match. Bangladesh lost because they were too overconfident that they will win the last match. From the beginning, their bowlers were not attacking the NZ batsmen still they were able to restrict them to 161. Which as per me was not a big score considering the number of experienced batsmen Bangladesh have. Still, they were not able to reach that score. This shows how committed these players are and what level of professionalism they have.

Ideally anyone batting first intends to pile on as many runs as they can. Then, when they either declared or are bowled out and are fielding will want to try to prevent the opposition from reaching the score that they have set.

I guess New Zealand should be happy with the overall results. With such a young and inexperienced side, they won 2 out of 5 matches, and that too in surfaces that resembled more like minefields rather than cricket pitches. On the other hand, Bangladesh fielded their most experienced players, and had home advantage. For New Zealand, the next series is the tour of Pakistan (3 ODIs and 5 T20Is), and after that they will be arriving in UAE for the T20 World Cup. Some of the players will be in action for the IPL, which will start next week.

The New Zealand team has performed very well. Even if they lose the series, all personal records are held by New Zealand players. Tom Latham is the highest run-scorer in the series. And Ajaz Patel is the highest wicket-taker in the series. Bangladesh made a spin-friendly pitch at their convenience, yet their bowlers could not take the maximum wickets. This is their failure. I am quite skeptical about whether they will see anything good in the next World Cup.

Declaration rules apply in only Test cricket (5 days) or First class cricket (domestic, 4 days tourney). It doesn't work in Limited overs cricket T-20,T-10, The 100 balls or ODI.

In Test matches it is true if they could pile up big runs they can declare the innings, i am sure even in the shorter format you can declare an innings but no one does that because the opposition can bat the same way and chase the score if the pitch is flat and not helping the bowers.
England players made their decision to pull out of the IPL, i thought everyone would consider the IPL as a training ground to perform well for the upcoming T20 World Cup but Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes has decided not to play the IPL and i am not sure Ben Stokes is having any plans to play the World Cup and hence it is obvious he wont be playing the IPL.

[nhaila]

Today second T20 cricket match would be between to favourite team south Africa and srilanka . Both team favourite for me but today I support srilanka as a winner list.


What's yours comments?

I don't really understand the England players. The decision to pull out of the IPL will cost them huge amounts of money. Ben Stokes' contract is worth $1.8 million with Rajasthan Royals. For Archer and Buttler, it is $1 million and $617,000 respectively. These players need to realize that they will receive these sort of earnings only during their peak period. Maybe after two or three years, they will be able to get only a fraction of these amounts. When they are supposed to play in the T20 World Cup (at the same venue), it doesn't make any sense to withdraw from the IPL.

Ben Stokes took his name out from the T-20 WC, Ashes and IPL due to mental health concern.Archer is injured and not playing any tournament this year. Buttler also pulled out of the 2nd phase of IPL couple of months back when he and his wife were expecting their second kid. Jonny Bairstow and David Malan are eying spot in the Ashes / T-20 team so going through 3 bubbles back to back is tough task. Don't know about Woakes. So overall is completely understandable from players point of view.

Still feel bad about Stokes. He was at his peak, and then suddenly he has to deal with issues other than cricket. He's just 30 years old, so hopefully he can make a comeback in next year's IPL and get a few millions of USD in his pocket. Same for Archer as well. He got hit by injury when he was at peak form. In the end, anyway it is the player who needs to decide about it. In some instances they may think that cementing a spot in the national team is going to be more beneficial in the long run, when compared to playing in the IPL.

What is your prediction about Sri Lanka vs South Africa 2nd T20 match? Sri lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. South Africa won the first T20 match. I think South Africa will win today's match too. Sri Lanka lost 1 wicket for 10 runs in 2 overs. South Africa's bowling lineup is good. South Africa will win if they can hold Sri Lanka to 140 runs.
