T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Swordsoffreedom]

England are batting first and they are scoring at the rate of ten runs per over. They have scored 110/3 runs in 11 overs and if this continues at the same run rate, they will score 200+ runs. This big score will be impossible for the pakistani team to chase.

England has been able to provide a target of 201 runs. But I feel bad that England has lost 10 wickets. At the moment, Pakistan has scored 45 runs in 5 overs. They have not lost any wickets yet. If England's bowlers can't pick up Pakistan's first two wickets quickly, England will lose today's match too.

You underestimated Pakistan and they are struggling for 127 for the lost of 6 wickets and they need a mammoth 70 runs in 25 balls and there is no way they are going to reach that total. Pakistan won a match last time but i do not trust them having the same performance again and that was true in this match as they are struggling today and if not for Babar Azam they will always struggle.

For the second match, England included most of their T20 specialists (Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan.etc) and that gave them the advantage. Strength-wise, England is much above Pakistan in the T20 format, especially at home. Pakistan pacers are taking wickets at regular intervals, but they are leaking too many runs to be effective (both Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf conceded more than 12 runs per over). Among the pacers, only Shaheen Shah Afridi is showing consistency. Also, the decision to open the bowling with Imad Wasim was perplexing. It worked this time, but I am not sure whether they should do that on a regular basis.

I underestimated the Pakistan team even after winning the previous match. Because this team has no goal. And one thing I always say is that there is no continuity in the performance of their players. After scoring 232 runs in the first match, they have scored only 155 runs in this match. England, on the other hand, scored 201 in the first match and 200 in this match. Coincidentally, this suggests that England players have consistent performances.

As England spinners defeated Pakistan, England leveled the series at 1-1. Such great T20 specialists in the England squad like Jos Buttler. When you win a toss on a pitch like this, I recommend batting rather than bowling since their strength is bowling and they are not very good at chasing. I'm looking forward to Pakistan's fightback so best of luck for the decider match.

Now-a-days, cricket is seem so unpredictable to me. After Pakistan got a great win in the first match, I expected them to dominate the T20 series. They will win the T20 series after losing the ODI series badly. But their performance in the second match was disappointing. With such a poor performance, it is impossible to win the series against a strong team like England.

Batting line up was almost same for the England except Buttler in and Skipper Morgan out. T-20 Specialist Chris Jordan only bowled 1 over and gave 12 runs. Spinners Adil Rashid (Moin ali) joined the party along with same pacers (Shakib, Curran, Parkinson) which turned the tide and restricted Pakistani batters yesterday.

England can experiment with their players, because they have a lot of depth and they are not over-dependent on any player. And apart from Moeen Ali and Eoin Morgan, many of these payers have at least 5-6 years of international cricket left with them. I would say that England has a strong chance of winning the world cup this time. If their star players can perform, then I don't see a reason why they can't win the trophy. But there will be tough challenge from India, New Zealand and West Indies (I don't that Australia has any serious chances this time around).

England, New Zealand, India and these four teams have equal chances to win the title. There are many T20 specialist players in the West Indies squad. However, West Indies performed disappointingly in many matches. England and New Zealand are much more stable than the West Indies. They are performing well in almost every match. Australia will be far from winning the World Cup. Looks like they need some time to stabilize.

The reason why I don't want to give too much chance to England and New Zealand is due to the fact that the ground conditions don't suit them. They don't have any world class spinner in their squad and are too much dependent on pace attack. And even their pacers are not exactly T20 material. Jamieson and Boult are bowlers who are more suitable for the longer version of cricket. IMO, I would give India and West Indies almost equal chances, followed by New Zealand and England. Under current circumstances, none of the remaining 12 teams have any real chance of lifting the trophy.

Your point of view is right. Most of Asia’s pitch spinners collaborate. But I would have kept India and West Indies ahead if the World Cup had been held in India. Although the spinners will get more benefits on the UAE pitch, the pitches are not like the Indian ones. On a pitch where pace bowlers perform well enough. So I don't think the chances of England winning the title are less than India's.

Trent Boult is a stand up bowler in the IPL and you think he is only good in the ODI format, T20 is basically a batsman's game and if anyone can perform which England has a lot of batsman in their ranks and they can win matches easily. New Zealand is always a dark horse in any major tournament but you cannot count out England.

Boult's overall record is good. But I remember a couple of occasions, when he conceded a lot of runs in the depth overs, resulting in Mumbai Indians losing the match. I agree that New Zealand is a dark horse, with star performers such as Boult, Jamieson and Ferguson. My main concern is that they may find the UAE conditions challenging. Also, one thing we need to remember is that the world cup will immediately start after the IPL. So those playing in the IPL may benefit from getting accustomed to the conditions. But then, most of the main players from New Zealand, Australia, West Indies and England will be taking part in the IPL.

If you think the spinners will have an advantage in the upcoming World Cup then how can you include West Indies as they do not have any world class spinners and if you think their experience in the IPL will make them perform better then there are players from England Australia and South Africa playing for them and they can adjust accordingly.

Trent Boult might have given away runs once in a while but overall he is a much better bowler and he proved that multiple times playing for Mumbai Indians and if he could perform the same then he could trouble any batsman in any conditions, there are some outstanding players for New Zealand and when they are in form they can be unstoppable irrespective of the condition and England has players who have a strike rate above 100 in ODI and they can change the game as well, so you cannot underestimate these two teams because they are playing in spin wickets.

If you say these about Australia then i would accept because i am not expecting much from them in the upcoming World Cup.

Many of the top performing pacers in the IPL are from New Zealand (Boult, Jamieson, Ferguson.etc), and I have a feeling that it may not be that difficult for them to adjust with the conditions. The IPL (scheduled to start by September) will give a good idea, about which players are currently in form. Also, I would not write off Australia. They always perform well during the ICC tournaments (opposite of India under Kohli, who always struggle to win trophies). And T20 is such an unpredictable format, and even teams like Pakistan and South Africa have outside chances of becoming the champions.

T20 in a format that is difficult to predict. Even if the players are not in form, they can suddenly become terrible. All batsmen here have to play aggressively, it is difficult to predict which batsman will play better and lead the team to victory. While the pitches for the upcoming World Cup are more supportive of spinners, all players in England and New Zealand are accustomed to playing on this type of pitch. They perform well in every IPL season.

In case of England, maybe that is true (Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes.etc). But apart from Kane Williamson, none of the New Zealand batsmen are regulars within the IPL squads. James Neesham is not a regular with the Mumbai Indians, while Tim Seifert didn't had much luck with Kolkata Knight Riders for this edition. Even Williamson was controversially not included in some of the earlier matches of Sunrisers Hyderabad. There were rumors of a spat with David Warner, but I don't want to divert the topic.

I included the West Indies team because almost all the players on their team bat well and they perform in different franchises throughout the year. They are very experienced for T20 format. Bowlers like Cottrel and Russell also bowl well enough. On the other hand, I don't want to hold England and New Zealand back to the title. Their squad is much stronger.

In the third and final T20 match between Pakistan and England, Pakistan won the toss and was elected to bat. Mohammad Rizwan has been playing very aggressively since the beginning of the match. Pakistan scored 56 runs in 7 overs. But they have lost their important batsmen Babar Azam. Mohammad Rizwan is unbeaten on 30 runs at the crease.
