T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Avirunes]

Had no idea about this match but looking at scorecard. have no regrets whatsoever and glad that i didn't waste my time on it. looks dead series to me or Oz just doing net practice with Sri lankans  . anyways we have good amount of cricket in the next month let's hope for good contest.

Eng vs NZ
Ind vs Ban ( Shakib's ban killed the hype, i suppose)

After the Sri Lanka and Australia T-20 series we also have Pakistan vs Australia T-20 series (3 match series) starting 3rd November and Afghanistan vs West Indies as well which will be interesting to watch as they welcome W.I in their home stadium in Dehradun,India.

Didn't watch both the matches in the Srilankan tour but considering how the Aussies ripped the srilankan bowlers, I am not hyped by the Pak Vs Aus tour. It's going to be an one sided match unless Pak proves otherwise. And with Shakib gone Ind Vs Ban will also be one sided game. I'm now more interested in the upcoming English Vs NZ game.

It has been some time now since I have seen NZ in T-20 action. I have forgotten the usual T-20 players from NZ now. Both teams have good bowlers and good and consistent batsman. Will be a thrilling series.

We all know how Australia trashed Sri Lanka who dominated Pakistan in Pakistan and white washed them with a young team and are we expecting any other result other than another dominating performance from Australia, not sure what the odds will be for these matches and i am not expecting anything big nor expecting any upset, I did not know that Afghanistan is using India as their home ground and it will be an interesting series.

Well here is something from the wiki on why they don't have their own home stadium in their country:

The Afghan national cricket team does not play its home matches inside Afghanistan due to the ongoing security situation and the lack of international standard facilities.

Earlier their home stadium was in Greater Noida, UttarPradesh but recently it got shifted to Dehradun.

Yeah, considering how the world cup final went. This series should be great and predicting a winner of the two will also be tough and exciting. Though the English team looks better, I think I'll bet on NZ winning the series.

Ind vs Ban ( Shakib's ban killed the hype, i suppose)

Honestly, there was never any hype to begin with since almost everyone are expecting India to decimate Bangladesh since they are in poor form, have issues with their board, bans etc which is why I will just check out the scorecards for these matches.

I have no hope for Bangladesh in Test format but for T-20 they had some chance because Indians in try out mode.

This is hilarious. What in the world was that guy thinking? Never heard of him before, but I will probably remember his name now. This will probably become a meme pretty soon.

hahaha he's promising bowler though.

I understand how ridiculous this is but if you are a new player you will be under immense pressure to perform and these sort of funny moments does happen, he might be playing cricket where there is no media attention and when you are playing cricket when the world is watching you will mess up sometimes  . The reason i respect these international players is because they play under pressure and a single mishap will be watched around the world and the pressure will get you, this will be remembered for a long time  .

Technically he's not new player per se and he featured in fair amount of games in all format. about pressure in media and crowd presence; In this series Stadium going empty so far. for some weird reason CA is not interested in advertising, people don't even know about the match.  

I think England VS New Zealand T20 series will be interesting to watch

Agreed.

If i remember correctly Pakistan made some dramatic change in their T-20 squad? guess couple of players are under 20y age.... they are unpredictable af.

Technically he is playing cricket his entire life and so is the reason he is playing international cricket and he knows what to do to dismiss a batsman  but the pressure to perform to stay in the team will create these funny moments and even in that instant pressure got the better as nothing was going their way as Australia was dominating them in every department. About the crowds you cannot expect a house full crowd until there is India playing or a major tournament .

Never knew this too. Its great that India is offering Afghanistan their own stadiums to play their matches which is clearly mutually beneficial for both of them. This clearly improves relations between both these countries to a whole new level.

India has provided so many opportunities to Afghanistan players through which gems like Rashid Khan, Nabi and Mujeeb were discovered(IPL). Great stuff.

Last month, Sri Lanka had toured Pakistan and some of the matches were played at Karachi and Lahore. If international cricket can take place in Pakistan, then I don't think that there is any need to exclude Afghanistan. For starters, they could ask the Pakistan team to visit Kabul. Also there is the recently built stadium in Jalalabad (Ghazi Amanullah International Cricket Stadium) with modern facilities. The Afghan fans deserve a chance to watch their national team at home.

Sometime back I read that cricket is a very divisive sport in Afghanistan. It has been associated with the Pashtun ethnic group (they account for around 40% of the population). Due to the dominance of the Pashtuns in cricket, the other major group (Tajiks, at 40%) and the minorities (Pashais, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Balochs, Aimaqs.etc) prefer football more than cricket.

Yeah but will it be enough to challenge an experienced and in-form Australian T-20 squad. They are unpredictable but Aussies should be ready too to face them.

TBH at the end of the day I am hoping for a good T-20 clash not the current SL-Aus clash where winner seems pretty obvious at the end of 1st innings of the game.

India has provided so many opportunities to Afghanistan players through which gems like Rashid Khan, Nabi and Mujeeb were discovered(IPL). Great stuff.

Not only Afghanistan, they have also supported West Indies players as well. Promotes them in IPL which feels so good. Love that they are also investing and allowing opportunities for players from other countries.

Australia completely dominating in this series and Sri Lanka have no answers even they win against Number 1 rank team but Australia very stronge in home conditions now just few days as Pakistan is also in Australia we can hope they will give some fight and we will able to watch interesting matches even Pakistan is also in not good shape.

Tomorrow Australia is facing Sri Lanka in the third T20 and i am expecting a white wash, Australia replaced Maxwell because of his personal issues and hopefully he recovers well before the world cup and without his presence Australia will try new players.
Another interesting match is New Zealand and England and it will be a close match and i am looking forward to that match, any one placed a bet on that match, if so what do you think about this match.

Only IPL allows so many foreign players. 4 overseas players are allowed in the playing XI for each team, and 8 are allowed in the squad. None of the other T20 leagues allow this many overseas players. The Big Bash League (BBL) allows only two overseas players (both the playing XI and squad). Caribbean Premier League and the Bangladesh Premier League allows 5 overseas players in the squad. Also, the salaries in IPL is much higher than what they get in the other leagues such as the BBL and the CPL.

@7788bitcoin it should be another easy win for team Australia, as Srilankan players have offered no resistance at all. I have read about Maxwell case and all I can say is he’s taken the right decision, on paper it may not look that bad but in reality it’s really bad and I wish he can quickly recover from his mental health issues. New Zealand vs England will be an entertaining clash, but my money is on England to beat them in tomorrow’s game.

There is a big difference between IPL and the rest of the leagues and the main difference is the money aspect when it comes to acquiring players and the overall investment to own a team and any investor who wants to spend money needs more options and the BCCI wants to make them happy and hence they allow four foreign players in the playing eleven and with Modi was the inaugural president making those decisions and it was a grand success and it is still continuing as a force to till now and the rest of the leagues started after seeing the success of IPL.

Modi was frist and real great person to done some great work with IPL and his work still helping IPL to bring not only local players even foreign players also love to be here and with his mastermind work second thing which help IPL is India is biggest market and very attractive for many to invest here and have ROI now as they are working I am feeling this difference with other leagues are widening and this could be great for IPL like EPL in Europe.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

ROI

I have no idea about the ROI because there were teams that went down after a few seasons and hence i really doubt whether they will be earning a lot of profit to dismiss the team entirely after a few seasons.

now as they are working I am feeling this difference with other leagues are widening and this could be great for IPL like EPL in Europe.

It is really hard to imagine whether the T20 leagues will reach the level of football leagues around the world, when it comes to EPL and other major football leagues there is a much bigger audience around the world but i doubt that can be said about cricket.

T20 cricket has attracted many audience but if you are trying to compare it will EPL and other Spanish and Italian leagues then you cannot have a match them as they all have audience world wide including many fans in the Asian countries and cricket might be the second watched sport in the world.

[7788bitcoin]

New Zealand vs England will be an entertaining clash, but my money is on England to beat them in tomorrow’s game.

I am expecting a good series but England is coming into this series with their star players being rested and i cannot vouch for England to win the match that easily as their main match winners in all the formats like Jason Roy, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are not in the team and the English side is strong with these players, so i am going with New Zealand in the first match and then will plan about the rest of the series.

No one could compare it with EPL and other soccer leagues but many countries are now focusing on the T20 format and since the time frame of the match is low compared to the rest of the matches it will catch on to the rest of the world and it is possible that baseball fans will like cricket in the US and they will be looking forward to attract more countries to play international cricket.

I just had a look at the headline mentioning that Aussies lost their T20 warm-up match. This is quite surprising for me as Pakistanis have made some stupidly big changes in their T20 squad.

Did Warner, Smith, and other big stars play in this match? Searched a lot but there ain't any scorecard available of this match.

If a touring young Sri Lankan side can defeat the number one T20 team quite easily and white washing the series then there is something wrong with they way they approach the game and they need to change that, may be Pakistan tool the young Sri Lankan team lightly and paid the price as they were trying to experiment with the players and since the defeat was humiliating they are changing everything and will see whether these changes will help them or not.

Not even aware there was a warm up match .
