T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[UmerIdrees]

Meanwhile action continues in PSL, Pakistan runs scoring machine aka M.Rizwan scored blistering 69 runs on 44 balls that helped MS to pose a total of 162. Keeping in view the karachi pitch I guess it's a challenging one. Is it me noticing that boudry in PSL has been shortened?

PSL is getting very interesting and there is tough competition among the top three teams Multan, Lahore and Islamabad. I know very few people outside Pakistan are watching the PSL live but the competition is really fantastic. The boundaries are always reduced in the T20 leagues to make them entertaining with high scoring games.

Why would BCCI take action against them? They are themselves involved in it to gain more money and use this money to hire international players at expensive rates.

Do you really think that the BCCI is spending money from the pocket and hiring players from different countries and presenting it to the teams  . Not sure from where you are getting these ideas, that is not how club soccer or cricket are hiring players. I know there is a limit to the amount of  money any team can spend to purchase players. If not big owners will purchase all the big players and BCCI does is to conduct auctions and the money is spent by the team owners  .

My bad, but ideas keep coming in my mind  
Anyways, what ever is the case, nothing is gonna change by my observations or comments.

Quetta and karchi are almost eliminated from the tournament while Multan, Lahore and Islamabad have made it to semis. I saw boundary and it's very much shortened so we have more sixes. This may damage the game of batsman when they go in T20I, same length boundary must be used in both Leagues and T20I.

There is no accountability and that is the reason why these sort of incidents repeat in the IPL. Two of the franchises were caught red handed for match fixing, and rather than terminating them the BCCI just handed them a two-year suspension. This lax attitude actually encourages more criminal activity within the IPL. On top of that the Chennai SuperKings and the Hyderabad SunRisers are still owned by individuals with proven links to match fixing.  

Do you have the exact pieces of evidence of these two franchises involved in corruption of match fixing and were caught Red handed? Let's show them to  few of the people here who want to close their eyes on these facts and can't hear their beloved league to be fixed.  

I am just quoting the report from the BCCI itself. Back in 2015, two of the franchise owners (Gurunath Meiyappan of Chennai Super Kings and Raj Kundra of the Rajasthan Royals) were found to be involved in spot-fixing. They were found to be betting against their own team, which should clarify any doubts in case there were any. Both the franchises are still under their indirect ownership and Meiyappan's wife (Rupa Gurunath) is the president of Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. Incidentally, Mr. Meiyappan is the son in law of the most powerful person in Indian cricket (N. Srinivasan).

Both franchisee were banned from IPL for two years. Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty co owned a certain amount of stake in Rajasthan Royal not the whole franchise. They are no longer part of the franchise anymore and Raj kundra has been banned from any from of cricket too. India cement is the owner of Chennai super king wherein Srinivasan and his daughter jointly control the team. You might have forgotten that Srinivasan was forced to resign from BCCI after his son in law was caught.

There is also viewership of PSL outside Pakistan but not much. PCB need to work on that. The level of cricket is superb in PSL. Today Islamabad will face karachi. Karachi so far has lost all matches and there skipper in none other then Pakistan captain babar azam. This is very surprising that Pakistan captain who is too good in T20I is struggling in PSL.

Such moves of bcci are commendable to curb match fixing but we also have to admit that biggest market of cricket gambling is in India. So we can't say that leagues are free from corruption. Few years back there is sting operation done by Indian media to expose match fixing in Lanka league. Such sting operations were never done in IPL.

Corruption is present in almost every sport, but this doesn't imply that all matches pertaining to that particular sport are fixed. Calling an entire league fixed just because of certain people is silly and downright stupid.

Wrong. Sting operations were conducted among IPL teams and some players like Sreesanth etc were caught and screwed because of them.

Right now with not good marketing and big exposure from PCB PSL is second-best franchise league in cricket community with very less time because we all know first few editions were played in the UAE, and now they have second edition in Pakistan and first under very professional team of Ramiz Raja hopefully in next few years we will have some very good and attractive promotions and features in this league which attract more players and fans around the world it's all about time.

Currently due to covid19 many issues as well so future is bright as now few teams already announces about their tour of Pakistan which is also going to be very healthy for Pakistan and their cricket, let's wait for more good fans base in future in next few years.

How do you create interest outside any country, from what i understand, India have a large viewership because of their huge population and Pakistan fans outside the country will be watching them. I do not watch the IPL or any other matches unless i am placing a bet on them. In this past paced world it is difficult to spend time to watch a match of cricket completely.

Population advantage is surely having very big impact on IPL popularity but recently too much money is also involved in this all peoples are spending some good amount of their funds into betting, and it's all about good marketing and some good information about these games to peoples.

Even gambling is banned in subcontinent but still many insiders and peoples involved in this business specially in India which is also having big impact on other side in Pakistan these things are not in better shape they have some strict laws and economy is also not good as India, so they will be not popular as IPL but can still live at second spot with their finances. If they improve quality and have some better facilities, then it's going to be more interesting for viewers and fans of the respective franchise.

Marketing is a good aspect, you need to advertise to the general public that a tournament is going on, but those advertisements will only entertains the interest of the fans that already know Cricket. To make the sport popular are they doing anything and i doubt they really care about that.

Even gambling is banned in subcontinent but still many insiders and peoples involved in this business specially in India which is also having big impact on other side in Pakistan these things are not in better shape they have some strict laws and economy is also not good as India, so they will be not popular as IPL but can still live at second spot with their finances.

In illegal Cricket betting India is the hub with all the corruption cases over the decade and buying information about the match, the bookies try their best to get their information through any means and some of the player fall for their smartness.

There is population advantage, beyond that, addition of universal players from every cricketing nation adds power to it. This way the viewership goes beyond India, and there is good marketing. As of now PSL is in good shape and it is the authorities to carry it forward. Maybe more foreign players will make the league more popular.

Even gambling is banned in subcontinent but still many insiders and peoples involved in this business specially in India which is also having big impact on other side in Pakistan these things are not in better shape they have some strict laws and economy is also not good as India, so they will be not popular as IPL but can still live at second spot with their finances.

IPL followed the tactics of football leagues. Those weren't there with cricketing when IPL was begun. So, that gave big success when something new is being into the league. Now people are used to it, and something more attractive needs to be done to make people turn towards PSL. Only then it is possible to take the lead against IPL.

The franchises were not banned. They were given a temporary suspension of two years and after that they were re-admitted into the IPL. In case of Raj Kundra, he just transferred the ownership of the franchise to his wife (Shilpa Shetty) and Mr. Meiyappan also did the same by transferring the shares to his wife (Rupa Gurunath, the daughter of N Srinivasan). I would call this as inadequate punishment. And mafia don Srinivasan was kicked out by the supreme court, and not because of the betting scandal. NDA won the elections in 2014 and that was what actually caused the downfall of Srinivasan (who is affiliated to the UPA).

In Pakistan super league Karachi Kings lost there fifth consecutive match against Islamabad United. KK are now at very bottom of this league and they have rear chances of making it to next round. Shadab khan scored 34 runs and took 4 wickets in the match.

Pakistan's premier Leaugue more fun increasing day by day.In PSL Multan Sultan they played really wel and they won the 5 match no single match lost.Their team combination really great and better bowler both are good and their performance well.Karachi Kings Lost their total 5 natches.After few day IPL will be start i think this month is more enjoyable for cricket lover. T-20 Matches more enjoyable than others cricket matches.

With this all we can understand now this betting mafia is working all under control of political influence which is deadly because politicians are very strong currently in India and no one can give them challenge and surely this is going to be very productive for them and these franchise owners like they have some very good benefits from film industry through underworld in last few decades and finances is also surely going to increase so many other boards and players will be happy to enjoy their spot here in IPL.

Just because of this all now ICC is also favouring this event with having window for them and not taking any complaints and just pushing other weak boards for tough restrictions and rules.

Both Multan and karahi are at top positions from top and bottom respectively. KK game is over and they will surly out of the tournament. Multan Sultans have twice scored 200+ runs playing first this shows the depth in there batting. They are my favorite for this tournament.

It's Muhammad Rizwan batting performance in PSL that is taking Multan Sultan to new heights. Two times batting first they manage to score 200+ while batting second they chased 206 against Lahore Qalandars. Shan masood who is a Test player is performing too good here. If you wanna play safe then bet on MS.

Quetta gladiators won the toss and they choose to bowl first. But things are not going that well so far from them.
Lahore qualandars are 39-0 in 5 overs. Yes run rate is not that much but they have not lost any wicket and that is the good thing for them. If they save wickets they can accelerate in the end.
Their bowling line up is very good and they can defend any decent total.

Lahore Qalandars have given a mighty target of 204 to Quetta. Thanks to fakhar zaman blistering 75 runs on 45 balls. Quetta in reply are doing very good, 90-1. Jason Roy has scored 73 runs on just 33 balls. It will be interesting to bet on Quetta at the moment. Let's see whether they can end there losing stigma.

Despite giving Lahore a huge target of 205 runs, Quetta Gladiators are batting tremendously. They collected only 1 wicket in 12 overs and scored 126 runs. Quetta Gladiators still have full control of the match. They need 79 runs from 48 balls. Quetta Gladiators will easily win today's match if they are at the crease as the two batsmen are batting destructively.
