T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[erikalui]

Shikhar missed by 10 runs while Kohli performed very well. With the great start, I thought they would finish it by the 15th-16th over but they almost brought it to the last over as in between they went slow and then required 12 from 12. Still it was a one sided game because SA did not dominate the match at any point neither in bowling, nor batting nor fielding.

Bangladesh packed an easy win against Zimbabwe and reached on the final of tri-nation. Top-order batsman of BD has improved well and that why BD could put 175runs on the board. Zimbabwe bowled out within 136 runs and they are now out of the competition.

Bangladesh suffered the T20 against Afghanistan. Then they changed some players like Soumya, Shabbir to make an ideal squad. It will be interesting to see how this team performs against Afghanistan.

Right now Bangladesh is mentally down against Afghanistan and they need to play with positive mind if they want to win in final its not a difficult job but after losing first and only test they are down in moral and this is happen in twenty/20 but still they can manage and win the final hopefully we have some good and interesting cricket in final from these both teams.

I think Bangladesh can turn it around against Afghanistan, it looks like they will play two matches in a row as Zimbabwe don't have a chance at making it so Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be playing two matches in a row. We will see if Bangladesh have learned from their previous defeat, I'm just happy to see another team like Afghanistan playing well and challenging teams.

A win against Zimbabwe is not going to do anything to boost the confidence of the Bangladeshi players. Afghanistan is a far better team, in every department of the game. They have world class players (Rashid Khan, Mohammed Nabi.etc), and I expect them to become the second ranked side from South Asia, overtaking teams such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

It has been more than two decades since Bangladesh was awarded the test status. But even after that when compared to Afghanistan (which was awarded test status very recently), their progress has been very slow. There have been a few bright moments during the past two decades, but the Bangladesh team has failed to perform consistently against the top sides.

When Bangladesh plays with Afghanistan they'll feel an extra pressure. This itself makes their game go down, as they're in a compulsion to win. These days even the matches between the last order teams are getting more interesting. From my view this time it seems to be a match of Bangladesh if they won the toss and choose to bat first.

We already have seen a glimpse in the Asia Cup

What is it about? I can not recall much LOL however in the World cup I do not think Afghanistan make any impact except only one match I think. ODI version Afghanistan still has a long way to go.

Yeah overall they were poor but not against Ind and Pak. Ask any Indian and Pakistani cricket fan  

In Asia Cup they won games against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh in league games. Gave good scare to both Pakistani/Indian fans (Match end up in draw) in Asia Cup and a similar story in WC (Close games).
  

Is the next Asia cup around the corner ?  Any idea when is the next Asia cup ?

2020, Venue is not fixed yet, even though PCB got rights to host an event in Pakistan. Chances are UAE is going to host if we look at how Sri Lankan players pull out their names from the Pak tour.

[Pffrt]

I don't think Bangladesh will face much pressure against Afghan. I would take the last match as nightmare. I have to admit that Afghan played better though. However, this time Bangladesh will certainly overcome and gift us a win.

This is really stupid. Pakistan isn't able to play in Pak for a long time, UAE has turned into their home ground. Why Imran don't go against this shit and bring back a good environment?

once again I will be there in Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium.

Any chance that you can manage one ticket for me as well? It would be a great meet

I don't want to comment on this matter in details, but IMHO the right approach to bring Cricket back in Pakistan is that, Organise complete PSL season In their home ground instead of 1-2 games. ICC and Bilateral tournament are not in the Hand of PCB but they can control all bodies of PCL, make it mandatory, let all foreign players withdraw if they don't want to participate in the league ( Don't care about loss) After a couple of seasons, individuals will come along with the league then followed by international cricket. If you want to change the tide, then work towards your goal, as simple as that.

Anyway after Steve Smith now time for Virat's stats

Anyway after Steve Smith now time for Virat's stats

They both are great batsman but in a different format, Smith is the king of test format while Virat is in ODI.
Virat is going to soon touch Sachin in ODI hundreds, although the chance of chasing in the total run isn't that much I think, as well as total hundreds.

Any chance that you can manage one ticket for me as well? It would be a great meet 

I'm depending on my cousin, it's not possible to get more than 2 tickets per person(each time, since there's no way to detect lol), to avoid black and manipulation in the price. I may try, drop me a way to instant contact in PM.

[Duzter]

What you guys think of the match that got over between India and South Africa. This match too confirmed that India team is completely dependent on kohli who scored half the score of the target. Maybe if the wicket of kohli have fallen this could've been a big fight for win.

Speaking of ODI Format, Came across ODI Fab 4 on the Interweb. it gives ans to your question too - Total run during chase- he's beast when chasing the target and crossing Sachin's record is easy peasy as far as Kohli concern.

No fight even Kohli is fallen early because at home they have very good record and many players can manage to bring replace him with mostly battling pitches and too many matches in IPL helping their cause for me South Africa is not good enough for giving good fight they will be outclassed by India in third Twenty/20.

Not exactly as even Shikhar played well while Rohit's performance is not something we get to see often. He got the highest runs in WC and he's among the best batsman for T20 matches. Even if Kohli would get out, we have Iyer, Pandya, Jadeja each capable of getting min 50 runs and plus we don't have a strong opponent.

[AB de Royse777]

Completely missed the match yesterday to watch. I was busy shopping and eat out lol
Completely missed to take the pictures too however next time 100% :-P

Menu was India Sizzling dish. A whole half platter went to my stomach contains 1/4 of a tandoori chicken with bones, Kasmeeri Sheek Kebab, Gallafi Sheek Kebab, Lassoni Kebab. It was all meat. If you ask me which was looks how, I mean to identify then I can only identify tandoori with bones one. Rest are unknown to me but all of them were delicious and presentation was mouthwatering. :-D

The run machine has set a new record by having the highest batting averages among all formats at the moment(Jack of all trades) while Smith dominates the test format currently. Awesome stuff.

I think I might order some non-veg stuff now since the dishes that you mentioned are drool-worthy. I would add Chicken 65 and some Butter Naan to go along with these dishes. This would probably be worth a shit ton of calories.

@Duzter I have always seen team Indian being heavily reliant on their captain Virat, and yesterday was no different in my personal opinion. This match was very easy for team India, but their wicket keeper Rishabh Pant may be dropped later on if he continues throwing away his wicket like the way he got out yesterday. @erikalui it’s about time their openers take more responsibility otherwise team India should search for a new opener, their captain Virat can’t win them each and every match oh his own.

@Duzter @Juggy777 Ofcourse, Kohli is a great player for India who the team can rely on. But, I wouldn't say that India is too dependent on Kohli. Rohit and Dhawan are good openers for India in all formats if you ask me. Rohit takes some time to settle, but once he has settled, he goes big. But Dhawan has the tendency to make some mistakes, even when he looks flawless. These 2 are backed by Kohli. Even if these 3 fail, India has few all rounders who could finish the match for them.
In the previous match, Kohli scored 70+ runs yeah so what? Dhawan score 40 and got out because of superb catch from Miller. Doesn't that count? And yeah if Kohli had got out for a duck or a few runs, the game would have been more interesting but that doesn't mean that India would have lost the match. There were still all rounders like Iyer, Jadeja, Pandhyas to bat. If they had collapsed just like the Australian players did when Smith got out, then you could say that India is too much dependent on Kohli.

[Little Mouse]

crossing Sachin's record is easy peasy as far as Kohli concern.

I was talking about both formats, not only in ODI. Sachin scored 34347 in both format, while Virat scored 18269 in both format, he has a long way to go, I doubt he will be able to perform in this long way. There's no doubt that he will cross Sachin in ODI though.

[ene1980]

You got a point there, since Kohli is consistent for a very long time we are not sure what the real strength of India is, every time he fails to score runs someone will fill up the spot and take the team to a winning position. In their home ground there is no team that will challenge them and they are not even playing their best bowlers in the series against South Africa and hence i refrained from wagging a bet, but still they won the match easily.
