T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[n0ne]

I was very surprised to see Zimbabwe's batting today. They don't care about Bangladeshi bowlers today. A huge collection of 205 in 20 overs, that too with the loss of just 3 wickets. Sikander Raja's 26-ball 65 was a brilliant inning, and much needed.
However, batting to a target of 206 is difficult to win. But since it is a batting pitch, it is not impossible. Moreover, Bangladesh's performance against Zimbabwe has always been good. I think Bangladesh has still a chance to win.

Zimbabwe scored 91 runs in the last 6 overs. Bangladeshi fast bowlers has given a lot of runs. There wasn't enough experienced batsman in Bangladesh squad. As a result, 206 runs was a huge target for them. Still they managed to score 188 runs. Zimbabwe has won the match by 17 runs. Bangladeshi openers Munim Shahriar doesn't deserve to be in the T20I squad. A strong opening partnership was required to chase this target. But his performance was so bad.

Big day for Zimbabwe to mark its win against Bangladesh in the first T20 match. 200+ runs is really big and the same created the winning momentum. As the required run rate is above 10 runs from the beginning there's pressure even if a single over is missed. Anyhow the upcoming matches will be very interesting, because Bangladesh will fight hard to win the match.

Bangladeshi fast bowlers have provided a lot of runs. If Ban had fielded better, the target could have easily around 185/190. As a result, Bangladesh cricket has always struggled, they haven't produced a single player who consistently performs well. I think Zimbabwe really played an uncertain game today. Against Bangladesh, Zimbabwe leads the series 1-0. Zimbabwe's performance was top-notch, as Bangladesh's T20 team ranked lower.

Had Bangladesh fielded well from the start, the match would have been under 200 runs.Zimbabwe did not miss any opportunity in this match.They scored a lot of runs in quick time.It is possible for Bangladesh to win the T20 match but the number of runs must be between 180 or 185.If it is more than 200 runs, it becomes very difficult for Bangladesh to win.Zimbabwe played very well against Bangladesh. Hope to do much better in the next two matches.Bangladesh will have more chances to qualify.Because they lost in the first match and performed well in the second match.

Bangladesh needs 102 runs from 48 balls to win. It is not easy at all. But there are players like Afif and Shanto at the crease. They are good enough players. And Zimbabwe's bowlers are also not very experienced. About 13 runs per over must be collected to win. However, regardless of the outcome of the match, the match is quite enjoyable

If only Bangladesh had fielded a little better in today's T20 match, today's match would have been in their favor.By a huge margin but Zimbabwe could not win, Zimbabwe won by just 17 runs.If Bangladesh could have performed a little better, today's match could have gone in their favor and won.However, both teams will enter the field with good preparation for the next match.And both the teams will fight hard for the win just like today.

I am not satisfied about the fielding side of Bangladesh. They should focus on this sector as soon as possible. Bowlers should take more responsibilities to reduce the overall run. Batting side was okay but top order batsmen need to play well to come back.

I will be happy if the Bangladesh team loses the T2O series against Zimbabwe. As a result, the Bangladeshi board officials will be somewhat ashamed. BCB is a very rich board. At the same time the people of Bangladesh are very interested in cricket, and the population of Bangladesh is very high. Yet the BCB is yet to produce a player who can play well on a regular basis. The performance of Bangladesh's pace bowlers was very bad today. Bangladesh could have won if the pace bowlers performed well.

I think the situation of the Bangladesh team is due to internal corruption. The domestic league of Bangladesh is very bad. Almost every match is fixed. And this is why talented players are dropping out. We will not see the progress of the Bangladesh team until the management reduces corruption. It is impossible to find talented players in the domestic league if match-fixing is involved.

One thing is sure they will never been ashamed because they are not professional, and they have their posts just based on political basis, so it's not going to be any problem for them but still a big question on team's ability because if they are going to lose like this then surely they are going to be in more trouble they are well organized, and they have better resources than Zimbabwe which is just won qualification for World Cup T-20 and have no enough experience.

But, Bangladesh recently won ODI series against West Indies and lost T-20 with having some good experience in this game but still not going positive and having defeats again poor teams is big question mark about their future.

Match fixing issue is there because domestic cricket in Bangladesh is dominated by clubs from Dhaka, who are privately owned. Unlike the case with other countries, the BCB doesn't have any direct authority on them. At least some of these clubs are money minded and it doesn't come as a surprise when we hear about match fixing involving them. And it is pathetic to know that despite getting tens of millions of USD in annual funds from the ICC and being a test nation for more than two decades, the BCB has failed to come up with a proper domestic system.

Did any of you came across the bomb blast into the cricket ground in Afghanistan during an regional T20 league. It is very bad and Afghanistan cricket is truly facing much difficulties. Amidst all this they're slowly making progress and the governments should assure with peaceful living conditions. One of the terrorist organisation have mentioned that they're the one to conduct the bomb blast. During this blast four audience have got injured.

Government?
Afghanistan is currently being ruled by a globally known terrorist organisation. I am not surprised that such a bombing incident has occurred. Such incidents have become quite common in that country. How still cricket is surving in that nation is quite surprising for me? Those who died in that incident were innocent people who just wanted to let spend some quality time by watching cricket match. Targeting a cricket stadium doesn't make any sense. 

[Swordsoffreedom]

India once again proved that they are very strong in T20. Many of us backed West Indies to do well against India in T20Is But by understanding today's match, we could see that West Indies played very badly in T20 against India.Actually India is very strong in T20 and ODI.Today, India lost six wickets and collected 190 runs in 20 overs.West Indies lost 8 wickets by scoring 122 runs in 20 overs.Here India won today's first T20 match by 68 runs.

West Indies' performance has deteriorated. The performance of the West Indies batsmen is now erratic due to the lack of experienced and responsible players in the team. At the same time India's spin bowlers are performing exceptionally well. If the bowlers can continue this performance then India will become a stronger team in the next World Cup. Also we got good performances from Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik. India will only become stronger if Virat Kohli returns to form.

West Indies were unable to score winning runs against the Indian bowling attack, which led India to win by 68 runs. Having a quality batsman and bowling attack has enriched the Indian team for a while. It is more important to win the ICC Trophy than to win bilateral series. Nevertheless, we can rely on Rohit Sharma to lead this team. As long as he remains fit, he is a captain who can win you an ICC trophy for sure. Kudos to Dinesh Karthik. Keeps a focus and wins matches for the country with an impeccable approach. DK is all business for the T20 World Cup, I can't stop appreciating him.

Experienced players like Rohit Sharma are very few in the India squad at the moment. A big platform like the World Cup definitely requires an experienced captain. It is expected that he will be able to lead India well in the World Cup. West Indies team is very strong for the T20 format. In every match against them, India has won one-sidedly. If they are able to continue this streak, India can definitely expect to win the title in the World Cup.

A bad game is normal since few talented players dropped out, but many are trying hard to win! We can find ourselves in this kind of situation when we are so confident of getting a point and climbing up the rankings in Zimbabwe, then end up losing. While Bangladesh's T20 team is still unfit to the format, they are simply learning and surviving. This is alarming and needs to be addressed, but what is their motivation? There is no good intention on the part of either the BCB or the crickets to retaliate.

Regarding Windies last 4 overs. They had to keep 5 players (20th over) in the circle due to their slow over rate, guess new rule of ICC and It helped Karthik.

So there is a new rule for slow over rate, that is good move so that Captains will not delay proceedings in crunch situations. I wanted to know whether Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard are injured and missing out the tournament or they are taking rest so that they could play in the World Cup. Not sure if it is the latter it is a great move for the team  .

Zimbabwe won the first T20 against Bangladesh which was surprising, i wonder how Zimbabwe would perform against the current West Indies team .

In recent years Bangladesh done good development in many departments, but sadly they are still not good in political system which is surely a big hole and this can give them some setbacks in future with political system stability countries can do much faster and right now as Bangladesh is having many positive things they need to work on this as well and bring professional peoples in different authorities those can help for having strong system in country like now sports in big industry in many countries, and they also can do much better than current level like in Soccer, Cricket and few other sports can give them good funding and popularity but need central control and better management which is essential for this all otherwise it has never been going good for them, and they can go down and out with this all corrupt system.

Zimbabwe VS Bangladesh
Bangladesh were unfortunately defeated in the first T20 match. They were defeated mainly because of bad bowling by the bowlers. The performance of the pace bowlers was not good. And so today the captain of Bangladesh has decided to use spin bowlers from the beginning of the innings. Mosaddek Hossain took two wickets for 5 runs at the end of the first over. And at the end of two overs, Zimbabwe's collection is 6 runs. Bangladesh team will avenge the defeat of the first match today.

Zimbabwe scored 205 runs in the first match losing only 3 wickets. But in today's match they have lost 5 wickets before the end of 7 overs, and their collection is only 31 runs. The most interesting thing is that all the wickets were taken by Mosaddek Hossain. He took 5 wickets with just 20 runs in 4 overs. Probably Zimbabwe's innings will end before 100 runs. Apart from Sikander Raza, there is no more experienced batsman at the crease.

Zimbabwe did win the first T20 match but this is an altogether different game. Sikandar Raza is the only recognized batsman left for Zimbabwe. If Bangladesh can get him quickly, they can bowl them out under 100 runs.
Bangladesh should be looking to win this match from here and level the series. You could not get a better situation than this one to level the series.

Is anyone watching the Commonwealth Games Women's Cricket match between India and Pakistan Women team ?
Although no one might be interested in the tournament but since this match is between India and Pakistan, people from both countries may be interested in them.
I remember UmerIdrees always creates hype for such matches, i do not see his posts on this match today

Sikander Raja single-handedly changed the scenario of the entire match. He returned to the dressing room after collecting 62 runs off 53 balls. Zimbabwe collects 116 in 18.2 overs. I wouldn't call it a bad collection. The way Zimbabwe started their innings, I thought Zimbabwe would lose all their wickets within 80 runs. Perhaps Zimbabwe will be able to give a target of 130. If the bowlers perform well, there is a chance of winning.

Yeah, new rule and good one. No more extra drink breaks or ridiculous strategic breaks when game is on the line, another good thing is this penalty will apply on non-powerplay overs.

Well their big guns hardly play any bilateral cricket nowadays. Last time i saw them playing in Ind vs WI bilateral series in India.


Smriti Mandhana looks like Ganguly when she charge down the crease, beautiful to watch. It's also true for any left handers, all of em look majestic when they time well and gets going.
