T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

Talking about rich ones yaar not developing world.

Tell me one thing how its fair to sponser any team, which has higher per capita from India?

We don't see such kind of generosity in other sports, I would very much like this system in other sports too.

OK.. maybe you are talking about teams such as Scotland and Netherlands. But even in this case, the cricket boards hardly get any funding from the government, since cricket is not an Olympic sport. IMO, it is unfair to them, as they receive only around $200K to $400K per year from the ICC. For comparison, Zimbabwe receive around $12 million every year. I want something like this:

25% of the funds to BCCI
25% of the funds to the other top-5 test teams
25% of the funds to remaining test nations
25% of the funds to associate nations

Perhaps the selectors' intention to keep Kohli because he is an experienced batsman, especially having record in the big tournaments. In fact, those who are considered to be a strong opponent against India, Kohli have good performance records against all those rivals. He holds numerous records in all three forms of cricket. Especially in the T20 format, he has occupied the first place of “ Most player of the series award” , the 2nd position in the world “Most fifteen in careers”, “Highest career batting average” and has various records with his name.

Records and averages never help any player for keep place in teams as right now competition is tough in Indian squad with too many batsmen performing amazingly in last few tours and things are never been easy for anyone to lost concentration but selectors still giving another chance to Kohli which is not bad at all but for me, it's going to be tough for Kohli because now if he fails to perform good then surely he is going to be in red zone and most chances he could be out of T-20 World Cup which could be more problem for him and his team.

Here in Asia cup I am not feeling they can face any problem in their early three matches as they are going to play against Pakistan, Singapore and then in semifinal against any team from other group which is also easy for them surely they are going through until final without any trouble.

If so, my question is why India giving more chances to Virat Kohli. what is the reason behind it? I consider him worthy only for his outstanding performance in the past in T20 World Cup. Who can also do well in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Virat Kohli used to play games that stirred the audience and the whole world in his game.His amazing game made India more popular and their cricket board more popular.The Indian Cricket Board never imagined that a man like Virat Kohli would go down in such a dark age.No one wants to lose a player like him. Of course he is being given opportunities again and again.It is unbelievable whether another player like Virat Kohli will be second.But we want Virat Kohli to return to the field in his old form.

Virat Kohli was hero for Indian team. Now he is playing so bad game beyond imagination.  It doesn't look like he can play like he used to.  If we look, we will see.  He is not as focused on the game as before.  He has lost interest in his game.  But if he can bring his focus back to the game then Virat Kohli can play well.  Gave him many opportunities.  To do well but could not do well.  Now let's see what he can do.

Virat Kohli was once a king of cricket.Everyone was delighted to play so beautifully and no one could fail to admire his playing But from the day she got married to the Indian star, her mind has moved away from the cricket board.What I do most is that he is playing so much crap for the Indian star.But he should not have wasted his life for this Indian star. He is still given many opportunities if he can do well but all problems are solved.

I don't understand why everyone blames Anushka Sharma for Kohli's poor performance. Kohli's poor performance has nothing to do with his marriage. Kohli got married in 2017. But he managed to continue his good performance till 2019. Kohli's poor form is his own fault. He has to work hard to get back into form or retire.

Ohhh dear that not the problem problem is here what India is doing india own IPLand they use to see IPL is sufficient enough for the their performance improvement but thats not the fact they need to understand they should being other teams for T20 Regular Matches , secondly India Players as Kohli and Dhoni is legends but point is what they use to do after being popular they got more focused into Bollywood not on the game same issue currently Pakistani players facing as well but Alhamdulliah there is not direct impact of that on their game as Pakistan Film industry is not so mature. But Poor performance can ne die to other reasons as well that might be due to time as sometimes it happens but I'm dammm sure he is gonna be good in coming time.

Why will Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's relationship affect the world of cricket? I think some viewers are always obsessed with the various comments about them and the people in the media who are ‍also with them. It can be said that the media has a big role in this situation. Anyway, I hope Virat Kohli will return to his career again.

These are professional athletes we are talking about. Most of them know how to keep personal life separate from professional. Sometimes, personal life might affect their performances but generally on a long span of time, it isn't the case. Virat is just going through a slump and probably loss of motivation. Hopefully he can get back to his previous form and a player of his caliber should be able to get out of it. The question is, how many opportunities the national team are going to give him?

This isn't the first time with Kohli and other cricketers. Whenever there happens some sort of lack in the performance of a player, people start making such arguments. For Kohli this isn't new and he's used to it. Beyond this is the making videos and memes go viral. Recently saw a meme in which Kohli keeps looking Anushka and missing the ball and it hits the stumps.

In case of Kohli, you can't simply ignore these arguments. I personally believe that a key reason for his recent failure was his lack of focus on cricket. He is focusing too much on advertisements and sponsorships and also on partying. This is not something that we expect, when a player is out of form. We expect him to play more domestic matches to regain form. But I haven't seen him taking part in domestic cricket during the last 2-3 years. His only involvement with domestic cricket has been with the IPL.

27th august 2022 is starting The Asia T-20 Cup 2022 . And the match is going to start at 18.00(GST) time between
Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan.
I will take Sri Lanka as favorite team for this match by there recently performance is clear that they are strong than Afghanistan. Even so I am not taking Afghanistan lightly, as their fearsome spinners have a lot of trouble inoculating. Which team you prefer to win ?

Srilanka looks clear in favorites for today's match but i don't take Afghanistan as an easy team as they can show some good performances on the day.
Srilanka will be looking for Dasun Shanaka to continue his good batting form , if he clicks, there is no way Afghanistan can chase big totals or defend moderate totals.
On the other hand, Afghanistan will be looking for Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan to make a difference.

I think you are right now.  Virat Kohli's playing quality is ruined because of his wife.  I think so.  Virat Kohli has played well in all previous matches in India.  Virat Kohli is not playing well in the match as before.  His wife is fully responsible for this.  Had she not had an affair with an Indian star, her life would not have deteriorated so much, I think.  Virat Kohli will have to work hard if he wants to play the game like before.  He has to bring attention back to the game.

Well.. that is surprising. Afghanistan has an upper hand when it comes to T20 cricket. Because more than a dozen Afghan players participate in T20 franchise leagues around the world, and players such as Rashid Khan are among the most sought after in these leagues. Sri Lanka's strength is in spin bowling. If the Afghan batsmen can handle the Lankan spinners well, then the latter will have a chance. In terms of team balance, IMO Afghanistan is much ahead of Sri Lanka. BTW, I am more in tomorrow's big match (India vs Pakistan).

One thing which i never understood about the Asia cup is that it was originally a one day international tournament but then why it is converted to T20 tournament in this year 2022?  Is the any time shortage or any such issue that ODI can't be played at this time?

Also it did not happen first time. In 2016, it was also T20 format, then in 2018 it was an ODI format and now again in 2022 it is a T20 Format   Don't you think there should be a single format for one tournament?

[noormcs5]

BTW, I am more in tomorrow's big match (India vs Pakistan).

Well, everyone is more interested in tomorrow's match between the rivals India and Pakistan. However, the Asia cup is not only about this match and a win or loss for any one of the teams should not demotivate them for a bigger picture of winning the tournament.

By the way, betting houses thinks India is the favorite (judging by the odds).

They are not obsessed but jealous that how can a middle-class boy be able to marry a girl who is not only a big actress but is also a big entrepreneur? You can question Virat Kohli on his ill form and worst attitude but it would be bad to question his cricket getting affected because of his wife or his daughter. Pandya is also married to a model and part-time Bollywood actress no one questioned his relationship when he was out of form. I hope he gets his lost form in the upcoming Asia cup otherwise he will have a difficult time out of the field.

Afghanistan will not be a tough opponent for Sri Lanka if they can continue with the way they have performed in the last few series. But Afghanistan is a good enough team. They have several world-class players in their squad. Their spin bowlers are good enough. Dubai's pitch helps the spin bowlers a lot. And so, even if Sri Lanka is in good form now, there is no way to think of the Afghanistan team as weak. Afghanistan's performance is completely unstable. So it is very difficult to make predictions about this team but the match can be expected to be competitive.

i will use to disagree with the point of Afghanistan as a week opponent. Point is how they perform today i am sure that Afghanistan is going to make a tough fight for Sri Lanka as according to my recent views. One more thing this is the very first match which is going to be played over there and pitches are very fresh so in the beginning the bowling team has some of advantages for the fast bowlers.

Gambling houses also tend to disagree that Afghanistan is a strong team. See the odds for the today's match. Srilanka clear favorite with 1.44 while Afghanistan is an underdog. '

If you think that Afghanistan is a strong team and can win against these odds, i will suggest you place a bet on Afghanistan as 2.66 is a very good odd to bet if you are confident about the Afghanistan win today.

Odds are important but are not the final parameter that decides which team will win. T20I format is very unpredictable and any team can win. Seeing the performance of Srilanka in recent T20I matches, I think both teams are very much balanced and it can be anybody game today. Big match coming tomorrow, Pakistan vs India.

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, 1st Match Asia Cup Cricket is going to start after some time. Both teams are good but I am supporting for Sri Lanka as they are back to play these days. I bet a small amount on the favor of Sri Lanka. I was already looking forward to tomorrow's match which will be the most important match in the Asia Cup.

I've said earlier that I have virtually no problem if ICC equally distributes every penny to each nation but for this, they should've multiple team tournaments, not just 10-12 teams.

Idk what is current share of BCCI but if I remember correctly it was around 28% after the BIG-3 project faced opposition so not sure if more cuts in revenue going to sit well with the BCCI.
