T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[bitgolden]

I though WI would come back in this match after their loss in their first match against England. Now West Indies have very little chance to progress in this tournament and they can't afford another loss.

But it was a clash of defeated teams hence I expected both might show their power but South Africa bowled too well and if you notice so far all the matches are won by second batting which means if you win the toss then you can easily win the match by opting for fielding first.

Pakistan again won the toss and will bowl first. It would be another high tension match.

It seems everything goes in favour of Pakistan, Babar Azam won the toss for the second time but News Zealand's swing attack unlike how India struggled must be the big differences, that Pakistan is going to experience today. Really another exciting high voltage match is happening right now.

Proteas's skipper Temba Bavuma looks average batsman but does have excellent tactical mind. We saw that glimpse against Australia where he beautifully rotated his fielder-bowlers and challenged the Australia with only 118 runs on the scoreboard. Today he also made some weird but excellent field placement for big boys like pollard and hetmayer, result his team restricted Windies on moderate score successfully. This tournament is wide open for anyone, heavyweight Windies could be out from the tournament soon.

We did not see the expected performance from the West Indies in both the matches. We look forward to seeing their devastating batting. They should have been ahead in batting even if the bowling was bad. But all the players seem to have lost form. In such a situation, they will not win against any other team except Bangladesh. Winning against Bangladesh will be difficult for them.

A completely unsuitable result for the defending champion West Indies. The team lost for the second consecutive time in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup. These UAE patches are making West Indies' season worse! It's sad to see teams like West Indies struggle to score and win a T20 match.

Do they still have a chance? As there are only three games left, and their net run rate is also poor, this seems impossible. There is no hope unless something extraordinary happens. Disappointed, yet still confident of their abilities.

After a memorable win against India in the first match, Pakistan is playing against New Zealand today. After winning the toss, Pakistan bowled today and New Zealand's batsmen have not been able to play well in front of Pakistan's strong and planned bowlers. New Zealand has scored only 60 runs in 10 overs. If New Zealand collects less than 150, it will be difficult to win the match. However, I don't think the rest of the batsmen will be able to win the match if Pakistan's openers don't do well.

[UmerIdrees]

First India and now New Zealand  unable to face the Pakistani bowling attack, and you call them they are world class.  Now we know why NZ don't wana play in Pakistan.



Couldn't be more better way to dismiss the Williamson’s Security.  Revenge at its very best.

Shame on ICC ...... Exposed !!!

This West Indies team is not the same as it used to be. This team has produced some world-class players before like Brian Lara, Chris Gayle, Chanderpaul. But now the West Indies team is really a weak one. Today they had a match against South Africa and they lost the match by a huge margin of 8 wickets with 10 balls remaining. Luis scored a half-century but the other players were lacking in their performance. And their bowling was really not that good. They had to defend 143 so they had to do much better. Marcrum scored 51 off just 26 balls for South Africa. That really set the tone for them.

Pakistan outplayed newzealand and won another match. New-zealand were not able to finish well in their first innings. They tried to come back in the 2nd innings by taking some quick wickets in the middle order but they had only 134 runs to defend. That's the reason that they were not able to create the pressure.

Now the match between India and New-Zealand becomes very important because the team winning that match would probably move into the semi finals.

Well I am an indian and i was supporting pakistan in this match because if new zealand have won then it would have made things difficult for india as two teams would have got ahead of India. But now if india beat new zealand then india would be on the top 2 positions in the group

I guess it would be too early to think about who are going to finish up top two positions Group-2. Because, T20 matches are known for surprises and upsets hence anything could happen in coming matches hence for any country there would be fairer chances are still remaining (already Scotland upset Bangladesh in qualifying matches).

Now the match between India and New-Zealand becomes very important because the team winning that match would probably move into the semi finals.

I do not think so. Your scenario will be valid given that Afghanistan and Scotland may not win any match against other other countries in their group, right? If anything unexpected happens then I guess you need to work on run rate rather than just going by winner of India New Zealand match.

Pakistani cricket team has played exceptionally well so far. They surprised the whole world by beating India comprehensively and now NZ also lost to them. One thing no one highlighting is the batting of Asif Ali in today's game. He was so much criticized for his inclusion in the cricket team but he has performed very well today, which will give him confidence for the next games.
I guess Pakistan is very much in Semis now.

In first two matches Pakistan done good job, but batting is still their serious issue because in today match their middle order was not as they have for this match good thing veteran Shoaib was available and Asif Ali was also in good touch otherwise after wicket of Imad I was feeling today they are going out of way.

In these two matches bowling was really the biggest threat for opponents because they are not allowing them to play freely yesterday no Indian batsman was able to play freely and today no Kiwi batsman play good knock for his team. One thing also gives me surprise their fielding because it's never been ideal but in these two matches they are doing one of the best fielding's for all time it is massive surprise for me and many others those watching cricket for some long time.

The expectation have come true. We don't know who will win in the upcoming match, because it is T20. A single player could change the entire game. I believe there is more advantage for New Zealand to win the upcoming match, because the players are good enough to work with the prevailing climate condition of UAE than India.

Impressive performance once again by the Pakistan team. First great bowling and then good batting. I was skeptical first whether they will win this match or not but throught the match the confidence the team was showing was exceptional. SA did once again they beat WI once again. This time it was close but yet another good game by them.

[CryptoBuds]

England will play against Bangladesh in the first match of the day. The match is most likely to be one-sided. England is a very strong team. On the other hand, Bangladesh is a very weak team. England took all their wickets for 55 runs in the first match against a strong team like West Indies. England's bowlers have bowled brilliantly. However, Bangladesh's performance is unpredictable, it is not surprising that they did well against England. However, the match is most likely to be one-sided.

Pakistan seems to be in excellent form. And they really want to take revenge against the big 4 teams for refusing to tour their country. Their bowlers are in great form, and so are the opening batsmen. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf has taken important wickets, while the spinners have provided crucial breakthroughs while remaining economical. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan scored runs against India, while the middle order chipped in during the match against New Zealand.

Yes England are very clear favorites to win this match and they will win but cannot say that this would be a completely one sided affair as Bangladesh is also not a bad team specially in these conditions their spinners may come in handy like shakid is in pretty good form.

Looking at the past matches some teams who were not favourites were able to defeat big teams. Toss will play an important role, the team batting first will have a hard time to win. The team batting second are mostly winning. Indeed England is a good team but Bangladesh is unpredictable and they can suddenly change the game.

You say the team batting first will have a hard time winning, and the statistics say the same thing. The team that batted later in this field has won more times. But Bangladesh decided to bat after winning the toss. I think their decision is justified. Because their batsmen are not very good. If England had given a big target by batting first, then Bangladesh team would have had to accept a shameful defeat. With bad fielding, bad bowling and bad captaincy, it doesn't seem possible to win against a team like England. They must improve in every sector.

Yeah, winning the toss would be too crucial and not sure why Bangladesh have opted to bat first today after winning the toss. Probably they might have planned to attack England with their variety of spinners but if they have put England to bat first then I guess there would be better chances for them to win today. I expect, Bangladesh may finish up around 130 in 20 overs but definitely below par when considering England's batting depth.
