T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[MFahad]

England won the toss and now going for field in second twenty/20 of this series right now series is 0 - 0 as rain spoiled first match.

England: 1 Tom Banton, 2 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Moeen Ali, 6 Sam Billings, 7 Lewis Gregory, 8 Tom Curran, 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Saqib Mahmood

Pakistan: 1 Babar Azam (capt), 2 Fakhar Zaman, 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Shadab Khan, 6 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 7 Iftikhar Ahmed, 8 Imad Wasim, 9 Mohammad Amir, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Shaheen Shah Afridi

So how is the weather today in Manchester ? I will shortly tune in to my TV and watch live action. I hope today we are able to see the full match. Both teams selection are looking good but pakistani team bowling strength is better.

Most chances we are going to have full match without any interruption as weather is good surely today we have entertaining cricket from both sides as many old and young's want give something special.

This match is getting interesting now. First pakistan team scored a good total of 195 but england reply to them is even more better and they have scored 50 runs in just 5 overs with no wicket lost. Look like england will easily win this if they don't lose wickets soon.

Bhai you missed the few replies above your post:P

Pakistan could win the match if they are able to pick Eoin Morgan, if not he has the ability to score big and take England to victory. I did not expect Pakistan to score 195 runs and the entire credit goes to Mohammad Hafeez.

You predicted it right. Morgan is playing a match winning innings. Even though england lost 2 wickets in a single over but Morgan held his nerves and drive the way to england success. Less than 30 runs to win now and with 8 wickets in hand, this is a sure shot win for england.

In this moment England need only 19 runs in 23 balls.  E. Morgan is on strike, Undoubtedly Pakistan is playing very well, they scored 195, it is huge. But England has some destructive batsman. J. Bairstow and E. Morgan is enough to bring victory to England.  Hopefully E. Morgan will be the man of the match in today's match. Best of luck for Pakistan to their next match

Morgan gone, but now it's all over for Pakistan. Not a single bowler could trouble the England batsmen and this is a worrying sign for them ahead of next year's T20 World cup. And it is sad to witness the lopsided contest, after the Pakistan batsmen got such a good start. Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman added 72 runs in 8 overs, and still they are losing this match very badly.

If you are going to play without any home work then surely you are going to face situation like this Misbah is completely incharg as Chief Selector and Head Coach but nothing good happening to them once Bowling was Pakistan's main weapon now its weakest point as they have no one to guide them still good match after long time both teams done good job but at the end England was better so they won this match.

[RapTarX]

What a great knock from Morgan; 66 out of 33 balls with strike rate of 200. If Pakistan could manage to get him earlier, it was possible for them to get back to the match. Shaheen Afridi is getting worst day by day. Nevertheless, thanks to Morgan for saving me. After Pakistan scored 195 and England losing 2 early wickets, I was in fear of losing the bet.

When a particular team is not doing well, it is very easy to find someone who can be projected as the scapegoat. What is happening to Pakistan now is not unique. All the teams outside the big-3 (perhaps with the exception of New Zealand) have seen the quality of the game going down. And Misbah is not the reason for this. The core issue lies with the ICC revenue distribution model.

If you have patience, then you can go through this article:

The main reason is given here:

This level of disparity would endanger the product of international cricket, according to a revealing paper submitted by Cricket West Indies to the ICC board in 2017. The author of that paper was CWI chief executive officer Johnny Grave. "The gap between wealthier and less wealthy cricket nations is widening and will contribute to less wealthy nations being less competitive, therefore devaluing the international cricket product," the CWI paper said.

I am not totally agreed with the statement. Zimbabwe cricket board is wealthier than the Australian cricket board, but in last decade we have rarely seen any good progress of the Zimbabwe cricket team.

Zimbabwe cricket board is wealthier than Australian board, how come it is possible. How can you even compare these two countries in terms of wealth and the wealth distribution they get from cricket, if you are talking about the revenue share they get from the ICC if it is another aspect but there is no way a failed country financially like Zimbabwe will have more money than the Aussies.

I was really shocked by this news but after doing some search now feeling you are right ZC is richest then CA as here is total report about these all cricket boards https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/cricket+addictor+english-epaper-cricaden/top+10+richest+cricket+boards+in+the+world-newsid-133060356

I am trying to digest this news article, not sure how they are calculating the revenue when Zimbabwe don't even play much international cricket. Only explanation i can think of, Zimbabwe cricket board gets paycheck from the ICC but never spend anything on infrastructure, players etc. Result board getting richer and cricket dying slowly in their country.

I am also still reading and checking how they are doing this all because its really new for me ZC is richer then CA and have never spend any good amount on domestic and players walfare which is bringing them down very badly and quickly but above article is also not bad at all by Chief Executive Officer of CWI so this all is really hurting badly.

This was the wonderful match and was happy to see a high scoring game and in the end, England manage to win by 5 wickets. Morgan and Malan partnership helped them to reach closer to the target and in the end, it was finally England who won the match and leading the series by 1-0. So final match would be a do or die for Pakistan to level the series.

The article is fake. It is from Dailyhunt, who have a reputation for publishing half-baked articles full of illogical things. Cricket Zimbabwe receives around $12 million from the ICC every year as their share of the revenues. They receive smaller amounts from the sponsors and the TV broadcasters. It may add up to somewhere around $15-$20 million. On the other hand, Cricket New Zealand receives around $30 million every year, and out of that $16 million comes from the ICC.

Pakistan seems to getting worse with every passing second. At present, it feels like both Pakistan and Sri Lanka have slipped into the bottom end of the ranking spectrum. The gap between teams like India, Australia etc and these teams continues to rise rapidly across all formats.

Currently, I feel like India, Aus, NZ and England are in another league when compared to the rest.

May be its fake but almost every article on this topic showing same results. Which is very surprising considering Zimbabwe cricket don't even pay their cricketers fairly. May be they are calculating ZC existing assets as criteria of being richie board? but that can be said for other boards as well, not sure about anything so in the end i remain confused...

Pakistan has lost its touch of playing cricket lately that's what I was able to understand when I saw them playing yesterday. I guess Pakistani players are pretty much confused with the format they have no clue what they are doing on the field.

I think they will perform in the same manner in the upcoming T20 series too.

Your first matter is right they are out of touch but second is not right as they are confuse with this format as they are already won world cup in this format right now they have few inner problems so this is really creating hurting them badly Azhar Ali fail to do any good in test series and now Babar first time captain have no idea how to use bowlers so selectors are completely responsible for this all if they want to change then must give test to Azhar Ali and both short formats to Sarfraz and his deputy could be Babar for some training can bring some better results.
