T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[minairia3]

You know, IPL generated really good numbers in spite of the pandemic situation. I think the numbers are only going to be on the rise in the future.
And also the heavier the pockets will be of the BCCI. But I also think that Talent-Hunt is really good through the IPL and a lot of young players will also emerge from the IPL.

I am only waiting for the mega media right auction which should happen anytime this month. A staggering amount of INR 35k to 40k crores  is expected by BCCI which is almost 150% of the last value rights. Many big companies will be participating in this auction. Dates haven't been announced yet but this will surely increase the profit of IPL to a great extent.

This is going to have a great impact on the IPL. As we know that the popularity of IPL is increasing day by day and IPL is also making larger amounts of money I think a lot of big companies are going to want to get their share of it. And honestly, any company can actually profit very well through the IPL. So that bidding is going to be interesting

I guess the amount will be even higher. You are talking about an amount of around $5 billion. But I am sure that it will cross $10 billion. Look at what happened during the auction for the two new teams. The BCCI received almost $1.7 billion in the end, compared to the initial estimates of $700-1,000 million. There is a lot of demand from several big players and only one can win the bid. Disney+Hotstar is the no.1 bidder as far as I understood (they won the bid for 2017-21 by paying an amount of ₹16,347.50 crore or $2,178 million). 
Apart from Disney-Star, others on fray are Viacom18, Amazon Prime Video and Sony Pictures Networks India.

I have a feeling that Amazon prime is going to go for it hard this year. But obviously Disney Plus Hotstar is going to be the number one bidder. I am actually expecting some crazy things to happen in this bidding. The money is going to be huge.

There have been 3 ODIs and one T20I match in this series and India has easily won all the matches. I don't expect any exceptions in this match either. India is in good form now. But I expect a good innings from India's top order. Especially from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, I would expect a big innings.

187 runs, it is a big score. West Indies is playing good at the moment losing just two wickets. However the required run rate keeps increasing every over. I find there is more winning chance for West Indies if there is no further wicket fall. Virat Kohli's performance always play a big role in every match. This time too it is Kohli who had helped India reach 187 runs.

Today's match was a good match for India to win the T20 series against West Indies. India also used it very well as the West Indies gave India a target of 157 runs.

Rohit Sharma played a great tornado match with 40 runs off just 19 balls. Ishan Kishan has played well along with their batsmen. But none of the Caribbeans did so well. Nicholas Pooran completed quick innings of 61 off just 42 balls. The Windies' bowling line-up is in a very bad state at the moment so they can't take the match themselves.

All the waiting is over with today's final match of BPL. Comilla made a very good start. Sunil Narine has performed very well in this match as in the previous match. He was dismissed for 57 off 23 balls. He took 2 wickets with 15 runs in 4 overs. Comilla made a good start but could not play much in the middle. Comilla gave a target of 152 runs in 20 overs. Barisal was also playing very well in the beginning. But their finishing has been much worse. For that Barisal lost to Comilla by only 1 run. If Shakib Al Hasan could have played a little like the previous matches, then maybe Barisal could have won. Best wishes to Comilla.

Today's BPL match was a high-voltage match that everyone was waiting to watch and finally, that wait came to an end.

I was supporting Comilla yesterday because Sunil Narine had a great performance with Chittagong. He is also playing great in today's match and has completed combined innings of 53 runs from just 23 balls. He also did great with the ball and took 2 wickets with just 15 runs in 4 overs.

Barisal played very well in the beginning but could not play well in the end and the match slipped from their hands.

However, if Shakib Al Hasan could have played today like in the previous matches, Fortune Barisal could have easily won the match. By the way, Congratulations to Comilla Victorians.

It was a big match for India, at the beginning it looked like a winning match for India. Once West Indies started its batting the winning turned towards West Indies. It was quite surprising to see Pooran and Powell make a good partnership. However the winning credit goes to Bhuvanesh Kumar who restricted West Indies batsmen to score just 4 runs in the 19th over. Finally India have won the match by 8 runs.

I thought West Indies would win the match as they had wickets in hand and Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran were batting well and they had Kieron Pollard to come out to bat when i last saw the scoreboard and yet India was able to win. Bhuvanesh Kumar who was leaking runs came to the rescue this time and won the match for India. Either way i missed the last few overs and i need to watch the highlights again.

Anyone interested in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier A? A total of 8 teams are competing, and the top two teams will gain an entry to the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup (scheduled for October this year). Matches look boring so far, with most of the teams comprising entirely of foreigners. I couldn't spot any native players in teams such as Bahrain, Canada,  Germany, Oman, Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. The only teams with native players are Ireland and Nepal. That means 75% of the teams doesn't have even a single native player and are entirely having playing XIs made of foreigners.

WI could have easily won this match thanks to slow run rate they lost it. Indian fielding was pretty bad yesterday they dropped a lot of catch. If they had taken those catch then WI could not have scored so many runs. Ravi Bishnoi and Chahal were good with the ball but they did not get good fielding support. Now India will be playing for a complete whitewash in the next match and WI would like to win the last match to save their face.

I just checked profiles of Germany players on espncricinfo.com, from names of players its very much clear that they are from south asia. Bahrain, Oman and UAE have team of expats from the day very beginning as natives have zero interest in cricket and thats not the case in there football teams. Nepal have team of 100% local players but ironry is that they lost to teams like UAE who bought players from other countries and thats why in associate teams Nepal never qualifies for ICC tournament.

Currently this news James Faulkner leaves PSL prematurely, accuses PCB of lying and not honouring agreed payments is circulating in the media which is NOT TRUE. Soon PCB will come out with their point of view on this. The inside story is that James Faulkner was demanding payment in another bank account and not returning the already send amount to him to other bank account. You think we are fool that we send him double payments. Just wait for the official statements from PCB. We do not need idoits like James Faulkner in our PSL.

Although Karachi kings have lost all the matches in this PSL till now, but today's match between the old rivals Lahore and Karachi is being played today in a high electric environment in Lahore. Regardless of the result (Lahore would probably win), the match is so entertaining to watch. PSL is the only entertainment these days.

There is lots of excitment in terms of T20 cricket these days. BPL ended yesterday after a fine final b/w Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal, victory for Comilla by just one runs. Karachi got its first win finally, no doubt it was there worst every PSL. Here are stories of teams in different leagues that have longest losing streaks A record to forget - the longest losing streaks in T20 franchise cricket

I don't know what happened to Lahore yesterday as they could not even chase a mere 150 runs. Even though Karachi have win a single match but they are out of the race to the finals.

Today we have another interesting and important match between Lahore and Islamabad. Looking forward to yet another jam pack Saturday evening entertainment.

There is sad incident in PSL as Australian James Faulkner left PSL halfway due to payment row with PCB. This is first time any player has payment issues in PSL.

Yes this is the first time I have heard any news like that when a player has to leave the PSL because of payment issues. I dont know what exactly happened but this is not a healthy sign for any domestic T20 league as it sends a bad message in the cricketing world.
Throwing away his bat and helmet is not something a respectable cricketer does. Not a good behaviour from him.

This all is really poor stand from ICC as they fail to have any solid policy for this issue, they are allowing countries with all adopt players and having to local talent. With this all countries those are trying to adopt this with local players can face big troubles because they have no resources like these and their teams facing quality issues as well we already have all South Asian players in Gulf teams and now with these players are moving in few other countries are also having some advantage for them even they still need some good time for being into limelight but still we need something solid vision about this as they must allow 4 or 5 local players as well which will help local communities as well and local talent also have some good interest with this all.

A streak of bad luck is finally broken by the Karachi Kings! If you lost 8 consecutive matches, winning one would have been more meaningful then no matter whether you're in the race or not. This win against Lahore is more significant than those unwanted streak you've had. They deserve a lot of congratulations.

Well if that is the case then they (Karachi kings) should win the last match also so we know they have broken the losing streak. Winning one out of 10 matches would mean nothing, absolutely nothing. 

And for that another drama, this is the inside story.



Common Australia, use this incident as an excuse to cancel the Pakistan tour. I can smell whats coming next

Well if we talk about having foreigners in the team then we can officially say that the world cup winners England also has a lot of players in their team who are foreigners.

But on the other hand, another argument can be made that it's one thing having a few foreigners in the team but having all the players being coronavirus in the team is a completely different thing. And to be honest I am not that much interested in this.

Well.. this has been the case for the last two decades. Promising teams with local players such as Nepal, Kenya and Ireland are losing out to teams that are 100% comprised of citizens from South Asia. I am afraid that very soon we will witness only South Asian players in the ICC tournaments, with no representation from the other groups. Fortunately, today both Ireland and Nepal managed to win (against Bahrain and Philippines respectively). There is a chance that they will qualify for the world cup that is scheduled for later this year.

Now India will be playing for a complete whitewash in the next match and WI would like to win the last match to save their face.

How the heck didn't West Indies win that match? Pollard wasted precious balls. I was stunned to see them lose despite still having 7 wickets left which just goes to show how messed up their team currently is.

I don't remember the last time Bhuvi rescued the team since he has been bowling like crap for a long time now.

So basically the issue is real as the statement says that James Faulkner did not get the payment but PCB claims that they sent the bank details of a UK bank and they transferred 70% of the contracted money and for James Faulkner he did not receive a cent as negotiations failed as PCB claims that they cannot further send any money unless the money that is transferred to the UK bank be revised. James Faulkner should have appointed a lawyer to discuss these issues rather than taking this on his own hand.

Now that James Faulkner will not be in the PSL again as they will be blacklisting him from further tournaments.

Lawyers do not support dishonest persons like James Faulkner. Rather I thought PCB should have called the police and put him in jail for damaging the building by throwing his bat.    but of course, he was our guest otherwise we could have hanged him in the street.





Idiot Faulkner should be arrested and hanged to death.
