T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Is warm up matches going on right now before the T20 World Cup as i see the teams facing each other as the scoreboard is showing the teams facing each other. New Zealand and Australia are playing and England and India are playing and Pakistan won against West Indies without much trouble, but does anyone know how to watch these matches as i cannot find the live telecast.

I still believe that Bangladesh team will come back and qualify. They still have two matches to go, one with Oman and other one with Papua New Guinea and they should win them easily.
We should not under grade a team if they lose a single match. Sometimes in such a high profile tournament, when you know all the odds will be in the favor of Bangladesh against Scotland, match fixings could happen or it could be a the genuine upset.

Yes, never judge a book with its cover. It just there first match, Bangladesh still have matches against Oman and PNG. I am sure they can win it easily. Right no SL is also struggling against Namibia with three wickets down the still need 56 more runs on 80 balls. SL and Bangladesh are two experienced sides but seems like associate teams have also come well prepared.

After winning the toss today, Sri Lanka sent Namibia to bat. Namibia is a weak team, Sri Lanka does not want to make any mistake against them. They are not as stupid as the Bangladesh team. Batting first, Namibia managed to set a target of 97 runs. And in t20 format,at the same time it is a batting supportive pitch, so it is a very low target. Yet my idea is that the Sri Lankan players will play very consciously and win the match.

Namibia is a very weak team. It was predictable to win Sri Lanka with them. It is no surprise that Namibia lost all their wickets for just 96 runs. The Sri Lankan bowler is good enough. However, Sri Lanka lost their first 3 batsmen by just 26 runs. Since the target is very low, the batsmen should have batted with patience. I don't see any difference between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Both inexperienced and weak.

The warm up match of India vs England is being held. Two strong and title-seeking teams are playing now. India won the toss and elected to bowl. England has scored 188 runs in 20 overs with the help of Moin Ali's devastating 43 runs off 20 balls. Although it seems to be a much larger collection. But the opponent is India. They have many experienced and T20 specialist batsmen.

India has won the warm up match against England. Jonny, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone have really played awesome and scored 180 plus. It was indeed a challenging score for Indian. The recent IPL matches, have made them strong in 20 over crickets hitting to more than 170 plus. So it was easy for them to play and finish off the game by 19th over loosing just 3 wickets. Kishon and Rahul's good start in the beginning, has really helped to achieve the target very comfortably. Rishabh Pant lead India to win. Samy's 3 wickets really added a strong point in winning this warm up match. Waiting for next game from India

The players who played in the IPL have performed in the warm up match and the way in which Moeen Ali batted was awesome but India had a strong team and their youngsters just had a good night and was able to chase the score easily. The only concern for India is their bowlers who went away for plenty of runs and England also needs to find the correct line and length to bowl in pitches like these.

I will ask president Sergio Mattarella to intervene in a third world country issue so that the cricket fans can watch cricket who thinks they are gladiators when they play a fucking sport:P. It is just a sport and i cannot understand why to mix politics in sporting events.

This is going over for decades and  whenever there is political tension between India and Pakistan they usually severe the ties between them and the ICC has also not taken any position in this regard and they only face each other during ICC events which makes them exclusive matches only for ICC events which is going to be a huge deal given the history between India and Pakistan.

Although Indian team is quite strong but i wonder why their legs tremble when they play against Pakistan  ?

You should ask the question to the fake hype the RSS is creating in social media, the players are not afraid and what happens if they loose the match, nothing  .

Namibia is one of the top associate sides. Yesterday was just not their day and that was it. They had Sri Lanka in a spot of bother, when they had them at 26/3 after 5 overs. The turning point was the dropped catch from Bernard Scholtz near the boundary rope. He totally misjudged a relatively easy opportunity and that probably cost Namibia an real chance of making an upset. The score would have been 60/4 at that point and there was a theoretical possibility of Namibia picking up a few more wickets. But as the saying goes - "catches win matches".

Namibia is a weak team I agree with that but Srilanka was struggling in yesterday's match. With more experience players they could have given a good competition to Srilanka. Srilankan team is much weaker than Bangladesh team. They might lose s match from much weaker side in this tournament.

Its not us but your people and politician, who are afraid to play with us. Again now your media is starting the propaganda of banning Pakistan from cricket so this clash don't take place on 24 October.

I will ask president Sergio Mattarella to intervene in a third world country issue so that the cricket fans can watch cricket who thinks they are gladiators when they play a fucking sport:P. It is just a sport and i cannot understand why to mix politics in sporting events.

Its hard to keep sports and overall political situation apart, on the government level. Therefore, the two nations sporting relations would not be solved unless the political issues are solved. The involvement of third parties also don't help either.

Shortly afterwards, the match between Papua New Guinea and Scotland will be played at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground. The weakest team in the group is Papua New Guinea. On the other hand, the confidence of the Scottish players is very high now after winning the previous match against Bangladesh. They are ready to win today's match as usual. I'm betting on Scotland winning.

The match is over, as expected, Scotland won by 167runs. But if Papua New Guinea had a good finisher, they could have won. Because they could not collect enough runs in the last 3/4 overs. The team is improving. As teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are deteriorating, on the other hand , teams like Afghanistan, Scotland and New Guinea have improving themselves day by day.

I agree with you. Teams like Afghanistan and Scotland have strengthened themselves very quickly. Afghanistan made its international cricket debut in 2012. Much later than teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but now Afghanistan is much better than Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The problem for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is that they have not been able to improve themselves over time. Can't find young and talented players at the same time. Even experienced players are not able to perform regularly.

It is Bangladesh's decision to bat against Oman in a game they must win. Both sides have one change each. Soumya Sarkar is replaced by Mohammad Naim in Bangladesh, and Khawar Ali is replaced by Fayyaz in Oman. Although, Oman's openers played well in their first match, Oman's chase poses some danger to Bangladesh. Oman is a stronger team and will be a difficult battle for Bangladesh. Bangladesh should give it their all to win this match.

[Iranus]

Bangladesh's top order failed as usual against a weak opponent like Oman. Liton Das returned to the dressing room with 6 runs off 6 balls. And Mehedi Hasan got a duck and returned to the dressing room, he played 4 balls. I don't understand how the Bangladesh team dreams of performing well on a big stage like the World Cup with such a shaky top order. If this team performs against a team like Bharat or England, they will not be able to score even 100 runs.

Again Bangladesh start with a shaky start and lost two early wickets. They have scored on 25 runs in first five overs with 2 wickets lost. Remember this is a power play, so the runs are way too less. The team is not looking confident and i hope Oman would not do upset today.

Its look like the lost in the first match against Scotland and the pressure of winning this must win match, is too much on their nerves. If they play clam, they can easily beat Oman.

Bangladesh is struggling yet again and if they struggle to score a good total on the board then i think the unpredictable Oman could upset them. The Oman openers are really good and so is the reason they won the last match without loosing any wickets but i am not sure how their middle order nor the rest of the players would perform.

If Bangladesh looses this match then it will be difficult for them to get qualified.

Bangladesh lost all their wickets by 153 runs. They have lost 4 wickets in the last 2 overs. Apart from Naim and Shakib, no other batsman can play well. Mahmudullah scored 17 runs and Mushfiqur scored only 6 runs. Oman is not a strong team, moreover the performance of the Bangladeshi players is not improving even though the pitch condition is good enough. It is better that such a team cannot qualify for the World Cup.

At the beginning of the innings, the bowling of Bangladesh bowlers seemed aimless, but now they are bowling well. Especially today Mustafiz has bowled brilliantly. At the same time his fielding is admirable. Seeing the batting of Oman players in the first few overs, it seemed that Bangladesh would lose. But after 10 overs we see the devastating form of Bangladesh bowlers. No batsmen could stay at the crease for long. Oman needs 47 runs from 18 balls to win. This is the sure victory of Bangladesh.

Finally Bangladesh have made it to be their day winning by 26 runs. Starting of the innings from Oman looked much interesting. The wicket fall of Kashyap and Jatinder Singh made a big blow to the scoring pattern. Then on bowlers took the match into control. In particular the bowling from Mahedi is really good and he restricted from taking runs which is more important at that situation. The win has relieved the tension for some limit. Bangladesh needs to win the upcoming match to make the entry.

In second Inning after ten overs I was feeling Oman can win this match very easily but experience of Shakib, Mahdi Mustafizur works, and they have done for their team very good job but right still all three teams have very fair chance of qualifying because if Oman beats Scotland and Bangladesh beats PNG then we have NRR which works for qualifier. Here Oman is also not bad at all because they won first match by 10 wickets which is very good margin and have some healthy NRR for them now they need some good and quality performance against Scotland for their chance in main round.
