T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Yes really an awesome play from Butler and Morgan. Butler was just at 30 plus runs out of 27 balls but after 11th over, he blasted to 101 not out which lead England claim on scores. Morgan as well was adding to the rocket score. England was just 59 at the end of 11th over. Then in just 54 balls they scored 93 runs. Butler's constant performance is keeping England on top of the table.

Jos Buttler is in incredible form and if not for his innings i doubt England would win today, England was striggling to score runs and all the batsman found it difficult to bat in the team and hence it was necessary for him to stay till the end and when he did he was able to score his first T20 International hundred. At one point when Sri Lanka stated to built partnership the odds changed drastically but England was able to overcome and restrict them.

In today match Sri Lanka was much better in first 10 overs in bowling and then in batting, but sadly they were unlucky both time things gone against them first Butler done good job in last 9 overs and put good target of 164 on board for his team then in batting Sri Lanka was good but Hasaranga de Silva's beautiful catch which was good effort from Roy and completed by Billings change things for them after this catch they lost all wickets very quickly. Now England is surely going on top in this group with we have some tough competition between two teams for second spot where Australia is favourite but on game day anything can happen for any team.

I think it will be easy for England than any other team in that group. They are a powerful team and one of the contenders to win the T20 WorldCup. I do not think Australia would be a problem for them. Srilanka is a weaker side and they would not survive long in this tounament.

England is performing well on the back of Jos Buttler who is in incredible form as he scored a century in the IPL if i remember correctly and continuing that form here with a wonderful 71 not out against Australia and now a century against Sri Lanka when the team really needed and played his shots and i felt like he is the only player who was timing the ball perfectly in this pitch.

Now it is almost confirmed that England will qualify for the knockout stage, as they have so far won all four of their matches. Now the big question is who is going to be the second team. Australia and South Africa both have 4 points, and West Indies is trailing with 2 points. Today there is a match between Bangladesh and South Africa, and if there is no upset then South Africa should end up with another 2 points. The advantage here for them is that they are having a much better NRR compared to Australia.

If SA qualifies, which it can by the way then also England will defeat them. If Australia qualifies then also England will win. They are no match for this team. I have a hunch that they will take this cup. There another match today which is between Pakistan and Namibia. It will be an easy win for Pakistan.

[LittleBitFunny]

In today's first match, South Africa will play against Bangladesh. South Africa will not lose to Bangladesh if they will not face a batting disaster. Bangladesh is the weakest team in the group. South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl. In the past matches, we have seen that the teams that batted 2nd the result went in favor. So my idea is that South Africa will win today's match as usual.

Bangladesh are 34/5 and therefore most probably South Africa will win this match also with big margin and there net run rate will further increase. This may make things difficult for the Australians.
In the other group match, Pakistan should win the match against Namibia. Pakistan are already in the semi finals, winning today will mean that they will finish top of the group.

Bangladesh lost 5 wickets for only 34 runs. And poor batting really spoils the beauty of the World Cup. West Indies lost all their wickets by just 55 runs in their first match. We wait in front of the TV not to watch it weak batting. Watching Bangladesh's game is nothing but a waste of time. Poor batting, poor bowling and even their fielding is very weak.

With an inexperienced team, an inexperienced coach and an inexperienced captain at the same time, I don't understand how Bangladesh expects to perform well on a big stage like the World Cup. Two experienced openers are most needed for T20. If the first two batsmen can play well, then the performance of the next batsmen is also good. But there is no experienced opener in Bangladesh team. However, as the team continues to decline, they will soon be in the same situation as Zimbabwe.

I was a bit busy so I could not turn on the TV in time to watch the match between Bangladesh and South Africa. 40 minutes later I turned on the TV and saw that Bangladesh had already lost 4 wickets. Although I did not expect a very good performance from the Bangladesh team. But I thought they would learn from the mistakes of the past and improve their performance a bit more. But day by day their performance is getting worse. However, advance congratulations to the South African team.

Bangladesh finished their innings with 84 runs. The way they started batting, I thought they would have the lowest run record in this World Cup. But Bangladesh played very well. For a team like theirs, the collection of 84 runs is now a huge collection. We can see the poor performance of Bangladesh from the group stage of the World Cup. Today is the seventh match of Bangladesh. In the same environment, after playing 6 matches on almost the same pitch, their performance is not improving.

Some matches in this world cup are not trilling one and this is one of them.
I am also not watching this match and doing something constructive instead. This match is boring as south africa should win it from here. I am subscribed to get alerts of score on my mobile and if any thing interesting develops in the 2nd innings, i will tune in the tv.

Nothing interesting seems to happen in this match anymore. South Africa will bat for only 85 runs. A small target. If the target was 120 then I thought the match would be competitive. However, Bangladesh bowlers are not bad, South Africa may lose 3/4 wickets in 85 runs.
South Africa scored 8 runs in 2 overs, and they lost the wicket of Reeza Hendricks.

South Africa did lost 3 early wickets but the target was so small that it did not had any impact on the match. If the target was between 140-150, then we could have seen how South Africa batsmen play in pressure.  Bangladesh on the other hand , are playing very poor cricket and they need to make some serious changes after the world cup.

Even though Bangladesh knocked out of the super 12 stage, they failed to play any competitive matches.
The Bangladeshis could not have thought that things would get worse, I feel sorry for them, they deserve a better place. Although Bangladesh should have performed better, they did not do so. Even in qualifying rounds, Bangladesh played very poorly, losing to Scotland in great conditions. Their performance was never impressive. Bangladesh needs to improve both their skill and power hitting.

Completely one-sided match between Namibia and Pakistan. Target is 190 for Namibia and I will be surprised even if they manage to reach the half-point. Namibia started well actually, and Pakistan was 59/0 after 10 overs. But the next 10 overs went for 130 runs. Ruben Trumpelmann, who went for 2 runs from his first 2 overs conceded 34 runs from his next two overs. The Namibian captain looked completely clueless on how to contain the Pakistani batsmen. Even the experienced David Wiese could do very little against Babar and Rizwan.

The match is a win for Pakistan. However watching the match seems more interesting. Namibia have lost its second wicket at 55. Stephen Baard whose innings watchable came to an end with an unwanted runout. I'm expecting something good from Namibia. Myself expect atleast a score of 120runs end of 20 overs.

They have test playing status for almost 20 years but they still are underdogs in most of the tournaments they have played. Compared to Bangladesh, Afghanistan has come up as strong team. They have proved in this WC that they can perform well in days to come.

Good batting by Rizwan and Babar once again. Pakistan managed to score 189 runs. In reply, batting of Namibia was impressive, specially hitting David Wiese is something lovely to see. They participated as associate team but in every game there performance was up to the mark.

Right now, England and Pakistan both doing in same way giving no chance to any team for having some better chance or any difficulty yesterday England was 59 in 11 overs then they have done 103 in just 9 overs same pace by Pakistan they start very slowly then suddenly something special happen through Rizwan and Hafeez ruined them very badly.

In bowling today Shaheen has no wicket other was also some lazy but still better bowling even I was reading on few sites they are going to have some changes but right now they are not taking any chance going with their winning combination it is good but still they need to do one or two changes for remaining match as it is good time for their bench power to have some practice against Scotland on Sunday.

Considering the performance of all the teams in the World Cup, England and Pakistan are the worthy contenders for this World Cup. Pakistan was a weak team before the start of the World Cup. The players had no consistency. They have lost one match after another. But they have been back in great form since the first match of the World Cup. Playing great in every match. I would be happy if I could watch the final match of Pakistan vs England. India was the favorite team before the start of the World Cup. With the defeat against Pakistan, the players are now mentally disturbed. We are getting the expected performance from them.
