T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Swordsoffreedom]

Kohli should forget about nepotism or favoritism and concentrate on his own game and try to upgrade it. Otherwise, he might be thrown out of the team as well.

I disagree. I don't think the BCCI will ever throw a legend like Kohli out even though he has been under-performing for a long time now primarily because of his experience and his batting skills.

Weird thing is that another legendary batsman(Smith) has also been under-performing for sometime. Both of them need to recover their form quickly.

It is doubtful whether India will find another talented player like Kohli. He is a living legend of the Indian team. An extraordinary player. However, he has not been in form for a long time. The Indian board gave him enough time, but Kohli still could not return to form. In this situation, the Indian board will definitely look for an alternative to Kohli. I think the Indian management will ask Kohli to retire voluntarily. This is more honorable for Kohli.

Your all concerns are acceptable but tomorrow he is going to play his 100th Test match for his country India with his average is still above 50, so I am feeling he still deserves some chance in this side because if selectors wants to drop him then surely they need some better replacement as well recently they already drop two very experienced campaigners and now dropping him is not good idea hopefully in next few matches he will be back in form and give his best for his team.
 
With his addiction and quality we will remember him for very long time, and it's not easy for bringing his replacement in very quick time now with the short format is spreading very quickly we will have most hit-and-run players and with Kohli is going to be still very good and entertainer cricket for this generation.

Bangladesh   -   Afghanistan

Bangladesh will play the first match of the T20 series today after a 2-1 win in the ODI series against Afghanistan. Even if Bangladesh wins the ODI series, I will keep Afghanistan ahead in T20 format. Afghan players are very experienced for this format. They perform in various franchise leagues almost all year round, so they are more experienced than Bangladeshi players. The match will be played in Mirpur, and we know that the pitch in Mirpur is more supportive of the spinners. Afghanistan has some world-class spinners in the team.

Out of 7 T20Is played between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, 4 are Won by Afghanistan while Bangladesh only manage to win 2 T20Is. This shows how strong Afghanistan is in T20 format. Though Afghanistan lost the ODI series but they proved to be equally good as Bangladesh. I do agree that there players like Muhammad Nabi and Rashid play T20 leagues throughout the year and thats why Afghanistan have edge in T20 format.

Afghanistan has lost very badly in the first match. But I thought they will win. Because their spinners are world class. And Mirpur's pitch always helps spinners. With the help of Liton Das's batting, Bangladesh gave a huge target of 156 runs. However, the turning point of the match was,, Nasum Ahmed taking 4 wickets. If he had not taken 4 wickets from the top four batsmen in Afghanistan, the outcome of the match might have been in Afghanistan's favor.

Even i do not want to see players like Virat Kohli and Steven Smith getting a forceful retirement by their respective boards and if that happens that would be harsh and they are players who were consistent for a long period of time and this slump in converting the innings to a big one can be overcome easily as both are the best players in this generation.

Top order failed and they fail to chase the total, i thought it was a decent target even though Bangladesh were smart enough to play Rashid Khan carefully and then attack the rest of the bowlers and they were successful in that aspect. Afghanistan needs to strengthen their batting order as some of players lacks consistency. If their Top order performs then they have tail end players who can throw the bat.

There is not going to be anything like forced retirement, especially with such legendary players like Kohli and Smith. In case of Kohli, he was removed as the captain of the national side because he refused to stop his interference in team selection and was pushing too hard for useless players like Hardik Pandya. That said, his place as a player in the national team was never at risk. Smith on the other hand stays away from controversies and as such he doesn't have any issues with the officials of the national cricket board.

Rashid khan has very decent bowling figures in this T20I 4-0-15-1, Bangladesh were smart enough to target Qais Ahmad, Nabi  and Mujeeb Ur Rahman. 155 was not a huge target and I thought that Afghanistan will put up a good show in reply but they failed. Afghanistan first four wickets were down on just 20 runs and after that wickets keep falling.

The total was really not huge to chase but Afghanistan has failed to get the momentum when the start to bat .We need to remember that Bangladesh is a good team and it is so difficult to loose them on their home ground .Afghanistan thought they will start to hit from the first ball so that they didn't judge the bowler and unfortunately the loose their wicket too early .However we all know that Afghanistan is also a good team on T-20 cricket and they have world class bowler, still a t20 cricket match is unpredictable if both team are strong .I think Afghanistan will come back on the next match .Let's see who will win the next match .

Both of them are the best batsmen in the whole cricketing world. It would be a pleasure for anyone to see them back in form again and score runs like they did. Even though I think Virat Kohli might be under a little bit of pressure he should not be removed from the team.

Kohli has many BCCI representative who are a fantastic admirer of his batting and his commitment to Indian cricket. Those individuals are trying their level best for him to stay within the team as he can only break all those records created by Sachin. Dehli cricket board and Mumbai cricket board have always been against each other. If I am correct Madanlal the chief selector is from the Delhi cricket board. He will always select him into the Indian side no matter how he performs. Those admirers will always use his past performance as an example for him to stay in the team. UP cricket board will do same as they cannot exist without Delhi. Rohit Sharma the Indian captain comes from UP.

Well in that case Virat Kohli should not have any problem staying in the team. But what I meant was he really needs to forget about all these things and get his head back into the game. Because you know, all these things can be quite distracting.

I am totally shocked to hear this news. I never expected a sportsman to die of an heart attack. He was just 52 by the way but when I read that he died in Thailand then I assumed what might have led to his sudden demise. In the past he became a headline because of his satyr attitude. If I am not wrong he still holds certain percentage of RR IPL team ownership. All forgotten may he rest in peace.

I actually don't know what to say. He was a legend of not only Australian cricket but also the whole world. He was praised by everyone that has even a little knowledge of cricket. This man is the reason why the leg-spin is still alive. This was really sad and unexpected for the whole world. I think Australia should arrange something to honor this legend.

Yeah, all those IPL contracts are left behind as he is no more in this world. He had an excellent cricket career from 1992 till 2007. In this time, he also won the world cup in 1999 for his team. He was the best bowler of the early 20s and batsmen could not stand against his spin bowling.
May he rest in peace.

Just heard the news too very sad we lost a gem. He was admired and like by everyone in our country - He was a star and a  champion player the  most celebrated cricketer who had  inspired many with his magical leg spins.  The world has lost a big name and has been turned a  little poorer with the loss of the legend. Gone too soon, Rest in peace Star!

This was very sad news for me. He was one of my favorite players. He is a legend. I have never seen such a great spinner. I never imagined he would die so soon. He is only 52 years old. I thought he might be taking on the role of coach now. But he left us when he was only 52 years old.

Shocked. The Russia-Ukraine War and now this. I knew he wasn't fit for a long period of time now which was pretty obvious, but I never knew that he was in such a bad state. He probably played around way too much.

He is a legend. I have never seen such a great spinner. I never imagined he would die so soon. He is only 52 years old. I thought he might be taking on the role of coach now. But he left us when he was only 52 years old.

He was truly one of the biggest legends in the world of Cricket despite all the controversies surrounding him. Will miss listening to his commentary.

And today you see him departing this world too. This tells us how uncertain our life is. Moreover, sportsmen are generally the fittest of all, they do some decent cardio exercises in their sporting career, surprised to see a sportsperson dying of a heart attack. Anyways he was, is and will always be remembered as one of the greatest spinners of all time. Sad to think that we won't be able to see him in Cricket Shows etc. in the future.

He was a true cricketing legend and I have always liked him in cricket shows because he showed a lot of ways to bowl leg spin which even the modern bowlers are not capable of doing now. The flight and little zip through the air he got while bowling was unbelievable. He was a fit man. Probably not the fittest but still fitter than a lot of players. It's truly sad to see a legend pass away. A true Hall of Famer and cricketing legend.

A legendary cricketer and magician in spin department who nominated in five greatest cricketers ever gone in suspicious condition even it's not good time for talking about anything but still his life was full of scandals and end is also just like this as currently no updates available about this sudden death but many rumours around this all as he was playboy figure in cricket and after his brilliant career still enjoying this all.

Now in just two days Aussies lost their two legendary players and both gone with Heart Attack first Rod Marsh, but he was 74 and now Shane Warn as he was just 53 and full of life but no one can do anything in this case right now cricket world is enjoying with some good things, but this sudden death is already changed all in sad mode.

Cricket will never forget about him and his achievement with his ball of century and his many great spells in many crucial matches against his opponents.

Agreed with this. The 1999 CWC is the earliest tournament that still remains in my memory. Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath picked up a total of 38 wickets between them. Everyone expected South Africa to win the tournament, but mistakes from Herschell Gibbs and Lance Klusener during the semi-finals made things easy for Australia. During the final match, he picked up 4 wickets to destroy the Pakistanis (Australia won by 8 wickets). And that was perhaps Warne's best moment in the ODI world cup.
