You just never know what you are going to get and psychology is never an issue with them. Ball just needs to connect with a couple of batsmen and the score just inflates like a balloon that has no bounds.

West Indies can handle any difficult equation easily they have thousands of evidence. The scene from the last 2016 T20 World cup is still ruin in my mind. Where, West Indies needed 19 runs in the last over against England. Everyone thought that England had won the match. But the collection is 18 runs from the first 3 balls. Two balls left they won that match.

There was a match between india and Pakistan and no one even mentioned it.
why are people not interested in women matches. They are need a bit of recognition. We only focus on man's matches.

No, I have discussed a bit about the match, I guess you have missed my conversation over it. The lack of interest in this match is not because it is a women's cricket match but because there is "no match" of performances between the two teams. Here is a glimpse of what I have written before about this match.

There is nothing to discuss about that match. Pakistan women's team is NO TEAM and the Pakistani cricket board is just wasting its resources on women's team. They better go back to the kitchen as playing cricket is something beyond their capabilities.

Congratulations to the Indian women team on the convincing win by 8 wickets.

I don't understand Bangladeshi batsmen do not understand the difference between T20 and ODI format? I am very disappointed to see their batting in the T20 format. Opener Pervez Emon was dismissed for 2 runs off 6 balls. Anamul scored 14 runs off 13 balls. Shanto managed to score only 16 runs off 20 balls. Mahmudulla managed to collect 27 runs off 27 balls. Zimbabwe's bowling line-up is not strong but the performance of Bangladeshi players is so poor. They may not be able to win a single match in the World Cup. They need specialist batsmen, who know how to collect run on 20 over's formet.

It was the decider of the T20 series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and Bangladesh just created a mess out of it. 156 runs was not a big target but they just missed the trick. Zimbabwe were losing at the in the first inning when they were struggling at 6-67. Then comes the Ryan Burl  and Luke Jongwe partnership which took the score to 156 runs.

Now let's come to the chase of the Bangladesh team, everyone chipped in but none of the top order batsmen took the responsibility to stay at the crease and make sure he can hold one end while runs are being scored at the other end. There was no plan from Bangladesh to chase this moderate total and in the end, they just lost it miserably.

Next, we have three one day internationals between these two teams, and Bangladesh need to improve on their performances otherwise the confident Zimbabwe team are ready to beat them in ODI too.

India - West Indies

After losing the last match against West Indies, India won the toss and decided to field today. The two West Indies opening batsmen are playing very cautiously. As a result, the Indian bowlers were not able to take any wicket even in 5 overs. West Indies collect 41 runs in 5 overs. Although the run rate is low, but if West Indies will not lose wickets, then they have the ability to give a target of more than 200. So the Indian bowlers need to pick up quick wickets.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 3rd T20 Match.
Bangladesh lost to Zimbabwe by few runs today.Today's match was very good and gave joy to the audience.But if Bangladesh could have improved their batting performance, they could have scored more runs I felt today's game and realized that due to some mistakes of Bangladesh team today they lost by very simple runs.Zimbabwe won today's match by just 10 runs.

It's disturbing situation, and what would happen in the upcoming World Cup with Ban T20 squad that's the question. Bangladesh is so unpredictable as they recently beat South Africa in ODI series, yet here lost T20 series to Zimbabwe. It's true Bangladesh played poorly. Very poor team selection and poor team efforts. Yet, Did Zimbabwe is gradually and consistently ascending to gain back their lost appreciation?

I am disappointed at this moment, I don't know Bangladesh team has ever faced such a situation before. I participated in sports betting where I supported Bangladesh. I never imagined that Bangladesh would lose the series bu Zimbabwe team. I am sure their journey for T20 World Cup will be very short. Looking at their condition, it seems that they will not win any match in the World Cup.

I don't like West Indies' performance. They have been able to give a target of 165 runs. West Indies were only 65/1 in the first 10 overs. Captain Nicholas Pooran wasted a lot of balls. He scored 22 runs off 23 balls. Is it possible to win against an experienced team like India with a target of 165 runs? West Indies are likely to lose this match.

Actually Zimbabwe deserves this win against Bangladesh. They have played well and managed to win against Bangladesh. Experience and leadership matters in a game and Bangladesh is not doing good here. Lacking of player and captain selection is a big matter that Bangladesh is not doing well.

I have seen the whole match. Bangladesh actually lost this match because of only two overs. The first one is when Nasum Ahmed conceded 34 in the 15th over of the first innings. And the second one is when Bangladesh only scored two runs and lost two wickets in their 15th over in the second innings. The score of Zimbabwe was 67 at the loss of six wickets. From that position how do they even score 156 runs?

Bangladesh just played like some AI bots who do not have any brains in the second innings when they were batting. 16 runs from 20 balls and 27 runs from 27 balls are just not good enough in T-20 cricket.

It got delayed a bit due to covid, followed by few mishaps here n there but finally Asia cup schedule and venues are finalised.

Last date of squad announcement is 8th August.

*BCCI also notified senior players that everyone should be available for the selection.

LOL... so after years of delay, we'll be having Asia cup finally. I prefer these sort of multi-nation tournaments to bilateral series. BTW, they could have included room for one more associate nation. Good that they didn't gave automatic qualification to the host (United Arab Emirates), but there are so many quality teams within ACC and teams such as Nepal and Thailand almost never manages to get past the mercenary teams such as Oman and the UAE. And sadly, all the 4 teams playing the qualifying tournament are entirely made up by foreigners (Hong Kong, Kuwait, Singapore and United Arab Emirates).

Yeah most of their players are expats but still i hate the idea of unnecessary qualification process. No matter what, every organisation is reluctant to give direct entry to associates members, then these very same group keep giving virtue signalling and continue with their monkey balancing fuckery when someone try to confront them (which hardly happens nowadays).

This is just waste of time and energy if they are not bringing any suitable laws because having teams like these UAE, OMAN, Kuwait and Singapore with foreign players is not going to help anyone just waste of time and for the pleasure of Gulf Region because if they want to help this game then surely need to bring countries those having native players because this can help this game and with this experience they can develop their quality.

But, no one dare to talk about this and all are going for just formalities which are surely not going to be favorable, and no board have guts to talk about this issue because this is sensitive issue for all Asian big whales most chances India will win, and they will face Sri Lanka into final because these two countries having better record in Asia.

Well.. last time when these two teams met, things didn't worked out for India. This time both India and Pakistan are placed in the same group and therefore we are guaranteed of at least one encounter between these two teams. And the third team in Group A is going to be an associate nation (most probably either UAE or Hong Kong). Unless there is a major upset, we can expect another match between India and Pakistan in the Super4 stage. And in case these two finish as the top teams, then once again they will meet each other in the final match.

@Sithara007 normally I would say team that India is superior, but my gut feeling says that Pakistan will beat them again because team India is not as strong as they were in the past. Furthermore it’ll be an epic finale if these two sides can make it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if team India fails to make it and with one eye on the T20 World Cup it’ll interesting to see what team Rohit and India’s coach Dravid selects.

The Asia Cup is being held after quite a long time. So, I believe the hype is going to be great. And of course, the India versus Pakistan match is scheduled to be played on 28th August. We have not seen an India versus Pakistan match for quite a long time. Both teams are also going to be determined to prove themselves against each other. The last India versus Pakistan match we saw was in 2021. That was also a T-20 match. You know, Pakistan did win that match so I believe India will be looking forward to taking their revenge .

I would really like to see that. First of all, I don’t see any bilateral series between them. They are not involved in any tri-series either. It is always interesting to watch these two play against each other. I just hope that there will not be any adverse consequences regarding this match in other countries.


Good Luck

The kind of bench strength Indian have atm, they can field 2 teams any given day and both teams would be very competitive against any team.

Last 2 encounters won by Pak convincingly but they are still way behind in numbers game.

Indian fans should pray for selection only, that's a main hurdle in every ICC tournament.

Bangladeshi players have poor mentality and they play by being nervous in T20 matches. They score slowly when the target is a bit low. But they can't hit boundaries when the required run rate increase a lot. Bangladeshi batting lineup collapsed when they try to hit boundaries. There is no power hitter batsman in Bangladesh team. BCB is giving opportunities to many new players who performed well in BPL. But those players have failed to perform in the same way in T20 international matches.
