T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[coinism]

11 encounter in the WC and record still stands at 11-0 

Is there a chance of 11-1? Ofc there is always a possibility because no team can win always and there will come a time when India lose, only question is when so keep trying as someday its going to happen.

IMO Babar & co focus should be on WC trophy not just 1 match. They shouldn't get into this rivalry pressure and if they manage to do that then they are strong side. Also Pakistan need to perform well in this WC if PCB want some bargaining chips in the cricketing world.

Meanwhile Rambo waiting for a Blank check 

Even if Pakistan wins this WC (which is unlikely since its decision of the big three that who win win this WC),  it won't expect any benefit from ICC. Since its Indian dominated cricket and there is hardly any room for its arch-rival Pakistan.
Yup, it's 11-0 but you are missing something b/w the lines aka India have got the biggest defeat in ICC's main event final till date. And Pakistan team at that time was very weak as compared to today's team.

Is this a political thread now, what is going on. Are you blinded by the fact that you want to dump your political view despite the fact that the winner will collect $1.6 million dollars and what in the hell are you talking about .

I am not even sure what you are claiming here. I am not a big historian of cricket and hence i cannot read between the lines, can you explain what you are talking about.

We always expect the same performance from the openers of the Bangladesh team, today's match was no exception. Bangladesh lost their first wicket by just 8 runs, and lost the second wicket by 18 runs. Both opener's batsmen collected 5 runs. I do not expect the opener batsmen to play well and Bangladesh will win the match. However, Mushfiqur and Shakib controlled the match very well. Bangladesh is more likely to win.

Seems like we are going to have the first upset of WC. Bangladesh is going to lose this match to Scotland. Full marks to Scotland, they are good with bat, bowl and fielding.
On the Bangladesh side, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim played their part with the bat but other than that there was no player to contribute. Bangladesh needs to improve in coming matches if they wanna play the WC.

The Scottish coach called the Bangladesh team weak. Looking at Bangladesh's performance today, it seems that they are actually a very weak team. Their performance is also weak against inexperienced teams like Scotland. I don't think they have any qualifications to play in the main stage of the World Cup. In the T20 format, their batsmen bat as slowly as in a Test match. Scotland's bowlers were not experienced. They can't bat against such a bowling lineup, Bangladesh's batting lineup against strong teams will be completely shattered.

We have faced defeat 11 times before and it won't matter if we again have a failed attempt and make it 12-0.

But for anyone who haven't tasted the defeat in all these time, it will be the end of arrogance for them. This lose will not be a simple one. This will be the beginning of the fall of the empire.

Similarly, the joy and pride of winning this one time will be immense for the Pakistani team specially in these times. This will not be a simple cricket win, it will be something more which can't be explained in words.

[jostorres]

Scotland surprised me today when they score 140 runs because at one point i never thought they would score 100 runs but Bangladesh bowled poorly and now they are struggling as Bangladesh lost 4 wickets and they need 61 runs from 35 balls which i think can be chased but who knows what will happen.

I am also very shocked on Bangladesh's play because from start they were not going to chase this small target it's poor from their side even they have some very good and inform players those was here for some good time as players in IPL.

Now this group is going to be very exciting with Scotland and Oman win their first matches and Bangladesh need to win next two matches for qualifying in next round still it's 100% as now they have to face Oman and PNG, but we will have some good tie between Oman and Scotland both are full of energy after having first wins here in the UAE for chance of going in next round.

Despite all odds are in favour of India, I still feel it will be a very much balanced competition where both teams have equal chances of winning. Love to see Pakistan pace attack against the world best batting side.
Right now Shaheen and Hassan both are in good form and they can make a huge difference. On the other hand India has a strong batting side with kohli, jadega, Pandya, Rohit as main batsman.

Do not forget, Bangladesh was the team who won recent home series against Australia and New Zealand. Today also Scotland should have been bowled out for less than 100 runs as Scotland was struggling by losing 6 wickets for 53 runs. But, T20 matches are mainly known for extreme swings like this; from 6 for 53 runs to winning the match in the end definitely a rolls-coaster ride.

T20 matches are anybody's game. Best batting or pace attacks may not be sufficient against a smart team. I guess West Indies are another team which must have better odds than India but unfortunately most of the talented WI players are not into their national team for some reasons.

India always have upper hand until Pakistan got one of biggest final in icc champions trophy 2007. India is strong team but Pakistan is always unpredictable no matter who is in there side. I still feel it will be a 50/50 game. That's why I am talking my time before I place my final bet. Wish me luck.

Pakistan is unpredictable and i wanted to see a big tournament between them as they always provide entertainment for the fans, but considering how India performs well in big tournaments against Pakistan i am not expecting any upset until they prove otherwise.

Over confidence is not good and history don't always repeat. So be ready for an upset.  

I am not playing in the team and my confidence does not matter, i only place a bet in the match and this is just a sport, if it is a competitive one, so be it as it will be a good entertainment for the fans .

We had an upset today, no one in their wildest dream would have thought Scotland would defeat Bangladesh but that is what happened and i am glad i made a bet on the most runs scored in the first wicket rather than money line .

It was really unpredictable in the last over as Bangladesh Mahedi Hasan was on his fire strike and had to score 18 runs from 3 balls. Unfortunately they lost. Greaves and Wheals have done their best from Scotland. Greaves 45 runs in the middle order has made Scotland reach more than 140 plus. Wheals' three wickets as well added a big support to win Bangladesh. What if Bangladesh would have chosen to bat when they won the toss.

Why not ask your respective politicians to set aside politics from sport and start playing each other. One win and a fall of empire is a joke. Looks like pro wrestling where winner takes all  .

Anything is possible, if Pakistan is able to defeat India, it will be an upset, i am yet to look at the odds for the match and i might place a live bet after taking a look at the team both sides are fielding.

LOL.. Now Bangladesh is in danger of getting kicked out of the World Cup without reaching the next stage. They prepared substandard pitches at home and managed to beat a second-string New Zealand side. That made them arrogant as hell. Bangladesh receives around $15 million per year from the ICC, while the share that Scotland get is just $500,000. Hero of yesterday's match is a part-time cricketer (Chris Greaves). Cricket Scotland can't afford to give him a full-time contract and therefore he works as a driver for Amazon when there are no matches.

Its not us but your people and politician, who are afraid to play with us. Again now your media is starting the propaganda of banning Pakistan from cricket so this clash don't take place on 24 October.

I hate that this pitch excuse when any SENA country lose match in the subcontinent. Although i do agree that in T-20 cricket big scoring matches are more fun to watch because spectators loves big hitting and its good for the optics as well. Props to Scotland for winning the game but i won't rule out Bangladesh yet, they still have 2 more match.

Speaking of Chris Greaves, after his all round performance i'm sure every team will now look at his footage so that they can decode him.

I still believe that Bangladesh team will come back and qualify. They still have two matches to go, one with Oman and other one with Papua New Guinea and they should win them easily.
We should not under grade a team if they lose a single match. Sometimes in such a high profile tournament, when you know all the odds will be in the favor of Bangladesh against Scotland, match fixings could happen or it could be a the genuine upset.

After watching yesterday's match between Bangladesh vs Scotland we can say all results possible in T20 format because Bangladesh is currently 6th in ranking and Scotland is in 15th, for me, it's upset. As this can happen in Pakistan vs India because currently India is 2nd and Pakistan is at 3rd mean in ranking both teams are level difference is quality which is really have big impact.

Because, mostly Indian players was playing here in their local league, and they know better pitches and grounds conditions on other side Pakistani players just came from home even they also have some good practice but still its good for their rivals some physiological advantage is also going with India as they are better against Pakistan in this format even in last match between these two sides won by Pakistan with big margin.

I will ask president Sergio Mattarella to intervene in a third world country issue so that the cricket fans can watch cricket who thinks they are gladiators when they play a fucking sport:P. It is just a sport and i cannot understand why to mix politics in sporting events.

You cannot ignore associate teams in T20, anything can happen and Bangladesh who had a decent team was defeated by Scotland is an upset as the odds were really high for Scotland and at one point the odds were 13 for Scotland win.

The performance of the Bangladesh team was quite average. No matter how decent a team is, there is always the possibility to get beaten by any team in this world competition. There is no doubt that Bangladesh isn't playing their best. Most important you need to take your opponents seriously. Hopefully, they will play better in their next match.

[CryptoBuds]

After winning the toss today, Sri Lanka sent Namibia to bat. Namibia is a weak team, Sri Lanka does not want to make any mistake against them. They are not as stupid as the Bangladesh team. Batting first, Namibia managed to set a target of 97 runs. And in t20 format,at the same time it is a batting supportive pitch, so it is a very low target. Yet my idea is that the Sri Lankan players will play very consciously and win the match.

[Minor Miner]

The warm up match of India vs England is being held. Two strong and title-seeking teams are playing now. India won the toss and elected to bowl. England has scored 188 runs in 20 overs with the help of Moin Ali's devastating 43 runs off 20 balls. Although it seems to be a much larger collection. But the opponent is India. They have many experienced and T20 specialist batsmen.
