T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[pakhitheboss]

-South Africa is officially out from the WC. Group 1 Semifinalist Eng and Aus.

It was a great game and South Africa played well and in the second group Pakistan and New Zealand will get qualified unless we see a spin magic from Afghanistan  .

-Ravi Shashtri is in talk with new IPL franchise (Ahmedabad) to become their head coach. lol

Ravi Shashtri can once again become a commentator and i think he needs to take a break from coaching  .
Tomorrow New Zealand and Afghanistan will seal the fate of India, expecting incredible bowling from Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan   .

I never expected SA to win the match. I thought that ENG will easily chase the target but they were not able to. SA played really well, Rassie van der Dussen contributed a lot to that score, great to see him bat like that. Not a single batter from the English side was able to reach 50.

Yes, I too agree it is better for him to again become a commentator. I always liked his commentatory.

The win was irrelevant. They had to restrict England to 131 or lower, and their bowlers failed in that. So much praise is showered on Kagiso Rabada for taking the hat-trick in the end, but his expensive bowling (45 runs from 3 overs) was the primary reason why South Africa couldn't restrict England to a smaller score. Once the 131 level was breached, nothing else actually mattered. South African team is a motley combination of players who are there on merit, and players who are in the XI just because of the quota. Nothing better can be expected from them.

Although South Africa's victory was irrelevant. But it was unexpected. And many gamblers like me lost their money yesterday. The South African batsmen have played great. I didn't think they would be able to build a huge 189-run hill against England's strong bowlers. However, almost all the players of the England team were able to collect good runs yesterday. They are not dependent on any particular player. They are the strongest team to win the World Cup this time.

Yes it was irrelevant but they defeated an unbeaten side like england and it would be atleast a good end to the tournament for them. The first match that they lost against came back to haunt them which they could have won. Australia on the other hand did well and beaten west indies with 4 overs to spare which helped them boost net run rate which resulted in the top 2 teams in the group.

England still managed to finish at the top of the group, with a vastly superior NRR. All eyes would be on New Zealand vs Afghanistan match today. At least on paper, New Zealand is superior to Afghanistan. But slow batting during overs 7-15 and the absence of Lockie Ferguson is a cause for worry. The replacement bowler (Adam Milne) is yet to prove his worth. If New Zealand wins today, then tomorrow's match between India and Namibia becomes irrelevant. For their satisfaction, India can defeat Namibia by a huge margin, and then brag about it.

[LittleBitFunny]

India's future depends on today's match between New Zealand and Afghanistan. If today's New Zealand wins this match, then India's dream of going to the next round ends here. And if New Zealand loses, India can advance to the next round if they win their next match. Afghanistan is not an easy opponent. They have the ability to beat the New Zealand team.

I am surprised to know how all of sudden the Afghanistan team has become so strong ?  If you tune in to Indian media channels or twitter, you will find that the same point of view that Afghanistan is the superior team who has the ability to beat any world class team.

Afghanistan team has been beaten badly by India recently and I wonder what happened after the match that everyone is talking about Afghanistan team hidden ability and their super powers

Yes Afghanistan was beaten badly by India in the last match but you remember their match against Pakistan as well they gave tough time to Pakistan and was at a winning position. It was the brilliance of Asif Ali that changed the match otherwise the result could have gone either way. Yes newzealand are much stronger than Afghanistan but can not say that they are clear favorites.

Afghanistan will give a good fight but I do not think they will be able to defeat NZ. If Afghanistan continues to perform the way they are doing now then I am sure by next worldcup they will be beating bigger teams if they are allowed to play by ICC  We also will se Pakistan playing against Scotland which I am sure will be a complete one sided match.

Afghanistan has made unimaginable progress in the last two year. They can now be called a strong team. Their players are becoming more experienced by performing regularly on big platforms like IPL. If they win the toss today and get a chance to bowl earlier, I think Afghanistan can win today's match. Their bowling is excellent.

They have won the toss but they choose to bat.  The strong team has lost 3 quick wickets under 20 runs and are looking to shattered the dreams of millions of people.

I can understand why everyone want Afghanistan to show good performance but then .....?

The expectation of India is funny. Why couldn't they make atleast half the performance made against Scotland and Afghanistan with Pakistan and New Zealand. If it has been done, then there is no need of this waiting. Even now there'll be people praying for the victory of strong Afganistan as New Zealand is found weak. Hahaha.....

Looks like you have paid billions for the players to perform like this  . Only you can tell how much you paid to each and every players throughout the tournament, especially for this match. If there is any live betting options just let everyone know, so that we can place a bet on that event and multiply my coins .
On a serious note the match is played in a good batting wicket and it is not that surprising to see Afghanistan players struggling to face the New Zealand pace bowlers and with the form they are in, it is an easy game for New Zealand and will qualify for the Semi finals.

Well pakistan also have been in this situation many times, In 2019 world cup also so these things happen some times and India were not good enough this time in the first two games. But that doest not mean india cannot beat any top class team, every one knows that , but ya sadly this time India played badly in the first two games and if they get knocked out they are only themselves to blame.

Afghanistan not only batted badly but at the same time they have missed the trick to use Rashid khan at the right time. Rashid khan should have been brought earlier in the power play and need to put the pressure right from the top when they are defending low score. They introduced rashid after the power play when NZ were already in the good position.

Hail Kohli and Ravi da Shastri. All misfortunes have happened to India because of these two individuals. It seems history repeats itself, if you are a good batter that doesn't mean you would be a good captain. Those who won the World Cup for India as a captain were never a batter but all rounders.

From the beginning of the match, all the decisions of Afghanistan were wrong. In this type of pitch, Afganisthan should decide to bat first. However, if he could collect 140, he would get a chance to fight well. 124 has been a very low target against an experienced team like New Zealand.

For those who are betting, this is for you. Please DYOR.
India will lose today's match but they will win this Worldcup. This information comes directly from where the match is being played. I do not recommend anyone to believe it. But, it might be real. I have placed my bet on both.

NewZealand Won on this very second.  !!!!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for your loss on this bet. Your source was wrong as they are not able to even qualify for the semi finals and will be flying back to home.

By the way, India are the official hosts of this tournament and the first time in history the hosts will be moving out of the country.

We all thought India would play in the final. At least that's what everyone thought when they saw their squad. However, their performances against Pakistan and New Zealand were very poor. And these two matches were the most important. On the other hand, New Zealand has played great in all the matches. If New Zealand does not face England in the semi-finals, then New Zealand will play in the final.

[CDC AP]

Well afganistan lost the match but it breaked heart of millions of Indians fans. It is surely one of the worst world cup for India. Being such a cricket rich country, Home of the Biggest t20 league in the world and the team has not even qualified in the semi finals. Big disappointment for India and we will see how things happen now as we will see new captain and a new coach and i hope it will bring positive changes in the side.
