T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[laurenB7742]

The match was a close finish as Bangladesh won by 4 runs only. With three more matches to go in the T20 series, i think Bangladesh can easily win one of them and they will win the series. I was expecting this kind of performance from the Bangladesh team in their home ground.
I also expecting that the remaining three T20 matches would be interesting to watch.

Bangladesh will maintain their dominance in the upcoming matches. Since New Zealand's team does not have experienced players, winning will be very difficult for them. It is very difficult to perform well on such a pitch without an experienced player. Yet Tom Latham has proved his worth. If any other player can perform well with him in the next match then maybe they can beat Bangladesh team.

Just one extraordinary performance from a player could change the match upside down but we are yet to see some youngsters making a name for themselves in recent times for New Zealand. Even in the last match Tom Latham batted till the end but he could not take the team home even though they had 5 wickets left and that is a terrible situation when you have wickets in hand yet not able to go for the win.

I do not think this NZ team will be able to beat Bangladesh. They all lack experience and their confidence level has also gone down after two consecutive losses. Three more matches left and the chances of Bangladesh wining this tournament is pretty high. Whether they will win all the five matches needs to be seen.

I am not opposing this view either because New Zealand is touring Bangladesh with a new team and i wonder why they are doing that when the T20 world cup is fast approaching. Earlier Australia did the same and now New Zealand sending inexperienced players. May be they are trying to find the next T20 batsman but New Zealand is failing as a team for the tournament.

Did anyone followed the Ireland vs Zimbabwe match yesterday? Ireland had a good start, but then Zimbabwe bowlers tightened the screws in the final overs and managed to win the match. Ireland still won the T20 series 3-2. And now the most important part of the tour starts. Ireland is supposed to play 3 ODI matches against Zimbabwe. These matches are extremely crucial for both the teams and in case Ireland manage to win at least two of these matches, then it will be easier for them to gain a direct entry to the 2023 World Cup.

If there is no miracle happens, there is no doubt that Bangladesh will win the tournament. But after losing two matches, the confidence level of the New Zealand players has gone down further, I don't think so. In the previous match, they lost by only 4 runs. They played very well. This will increase the confidence to win the next match.

New Zealand scored 128 runs in the first innings. They gave Bangladesh a target of 129 runs. Not a very bad collection for New Zealand. But if they could have scored more than 140 runs, they could have been in the safe zone to win. 128 runs does not seem to be enough to win against Bangladesh. Because, New Zealand does not have an experienced bowler. I think Bangladesh will win the series 3-0 today.

If Bangladesh can play by defending wickets then they will win. It is really difficult to win a match by collecting less than 140 runs on this pitch as it has been made today. However, if the New Zealand bowlers can send Bangladesh's first three batsmen to the pavilion quickly, they have a chance to win.

Bangladesh team is in trouble now. They lost 3 wickets in just 2 runs. After Liton Das's dismissal for 23 runs, Mehedi Hasan scored 1 run and Shakib returned to the dressing room without collecting any runs. At the moment the match is completely occupied by New Zealand. They can win the match through controlled bowling. Must play the captain's responsible role.

The pitch is very supportive to bowling (especially spin) and in case New Zealand bowlers perform up to the mark, then they will be able to win. That said, I am not sure whether they will be able to do that. I was watching the previous matches live on FanCode, and the New Zealand players looked like a demoralized lot. They have started well, though. Two of the Bangladeshi batsmen are back in the pavillion (Mahedi Hasan & Liton Das), with Ajaz Patel and Cole McConchie picking up the wickets. The NZ spinners seems to be performing this time.

At the moment, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah will have to play key roles if Bangladesh wants to win the match. If Mushfiqur can't see a good performance today, then I don't see any chance of Bangladesh winning. Mahmudullah, Afif, Nurul Hasan and Saifuddin. Everyone can bat fairly well.

I am watching the batting of Bangladeshi batsmen and I'm just smiling. It is very risky to bet for or against this team. It is not possible to predict when they will play well and when their batting will be a disaster. Batting for just 127 runs, Bangladesh lost their 6 batsmen by just 43 runs. Their collection in 11 overs is 48/6.

You possibly are not watching this series and the last one against Bangladesh. Both of these series was full of low score matches and this disaster is not unusual. Haven’t you seen NZ was all out for 60?
I was about to place bet for NZ thinking that they will have a come back but got unlucky. Placed bet for Bangladesh and it seems I'm gonna lose this one. Bangladesh is having a worst situation now.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Looks as if it is all over for Bangladesh. The New Zealand spinners took wickets at the right time. Bangladesh is reeling at 47/6, with Mushfiqur Rahim still in single digits. Ajaz Patel was just unplayable (4/11 in three overs so far), with the other spinners (Rachin Ravindra and Cole McConchie) also providing good support. Preparing a spin-friendly wicket seems to have backfired on Bangladesh as the New Zealand spinners have taken all the wickets so far in the second innings. The required run rate is now 9 runs per over, which I don't think Bangladesh can manage in such a surface.

Bangladesh spin bowlers could not bowl well today. But New Zealand's bowlers are doing great today. Ajaz Patel has destroyed the batting lineup of Bangladesh. He bowled 3 overs. He took 4 wickets (Mehedi, Shakib, Mahmudullah, Afifa) with only 11 runs. All of them are important batsmen of Bangladesh. Bangladesh now needs 73 runs from 43 balls. It seems New Zealand will win the match.

LOL.. 7th wicket gone. Nurul Hasan nabbed by Cole McConchie. One thing I noticed is that all the 7 wickets to fall so far in the Bangladesh innings have been taken by spinners (Patel - 4, McConchie -2 and Ravindra -1). The required run rate has now climbed to 11 runs per over. However, this was a great series for Bangladesh. They managed to win the first two matches by a good margin. Now they need just one more for the series win. New Zealand players don't need to get disheartened. Despite their inexperience, they performed well.

It was a very poor performance by Bangladesh. I was not expecting this sort of performance when they have won the last tow matches against NewZealand.

I still can't digest that Bangladesh can only made 76 runs in 20 overs. Do you smell match fixing here

New Zealand’s comeback in the second and third matches after a miserable defeat in the first match is truly admirable. I would say they are playing much better than the Australian team. New Zealand's spin bowlers have done great. They ruled the entire match. If they can show such an unprecedented performance in the next match too, then winning the series will be challenging for Bangladesh.

What the hell is going on these days, the host scored only 76 runs. Don't think any different. It was just a result of overconfidence and a poor batting display. For tigers, it's not a good day at work. It was a necessary defeat cause the bowlers of the BlackCaps displayed some absolutely brilliant bowling. I hope they bounce back in their next game.

There is nothing to be surprised by the performance of the Bangladesh team. They have disappointed us many times in the past by doing bad performances. As they played in the first two matches, everyone hoped that they might maintain the continuity in the third match as well. But their batting has broken down badly. They lost all their wickets in just 76 runs.
