T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

Did Hong Kong bat well against India? Hong Kong is a small group. They scored more than 150 against India so we appreciate them. But in this match, Hong Kong players did not bat to win. Their aim was to reduce the run gap with India. In fact they did not play well. Maybe they will play well against Pakistan, but Hong Kong has not yet achieved the ability to win the match. Their players are still unprofessional and inexperienced.

Hong Kong did well, but in the end they lost to India. And given how unpredictable the Pakistani team is, I would say that there is no guarantee that they will win today's match. Their best bowler (Shaheen Shah Afridi) is out due to injury. And some of the Hong Kong players showed great maturity and composure during their encounter with India. Babar Hayat managed a quick 41, while Kinchit Shah made 30 from 28 balls. And among the bowlers, the 19-year old Ayush Shukla was very impressive, along with Yasim Murtaza.

Pakistan needs to win their match against Hong Kong today, in order to proceed to Super 4. Pakistan lost their first match against India, so they need to make sure that they win today's match. Any upset in this match and Pakistan will end up with a fate similar to that of Bangladesh. And Pakistan need to take Hong Kong seriously. Because the latter put up a good fight against India in their initial match. And Hong Kong has a history of making upsets. Back in 2014, they managed to defeat Bangladesh during the T20 World Cup.

If it is an ODI then we can say Pakistan will win the match. With T20 anything can happen even at the last moment. Hong Kong performance against India is really good and many couldn't have expected it. If India wasn't able to make the last over score, Hong Kong could've played even better. So, as you've said Pakistan needs to play very carefully to secure its place on the Super 4.

Yes There's is no doubt about that Pakistan is a strong team against Hong Kong. But that doesn't mean I'd underestimate Hong Kong. The way Hong Kong batted violently against India I think if they can keep it up in Pakistan too then Pakistan will need a lot of momentum to win against Hong Kong.

At the end of the day the result will be one sided. Pakistan lost to India but the match has been determined by a great fight between them.  There was consistent fight in the full game. But it is difficult to expect such a match in the case of Hong Kong. India won by 40 runs against Hong Kong, it could also happen with Pakistan where they may won by 70 runs. I'm not belittling Hong Kong just a prediction of what the outcome might be.

I do not think Pakistan is such a worst team that they will loke against Hongkong. They have a tendency to be inconsistent but they generally play well in big tournaments. If it was Hongkong against Bangladesh then I would given the same statement as yours. They might not have Shaheen Afridi but they still have others who gave tough time to Indian batters.

Pakistan isn't an worst team, but the performance of Hong Kong is getting better playing against the leading teams. In every match they're doing better than the previous match. Pakistan have got the best opening order. On account of the same, batting first will be an advantage for Pakistan. As one of the user said, India won by 40 runs. Maybe Pakistan scoring 200+ runs will make them win by 70+ runs.

I am not saying that Hong Kong has a 50% or even 25% chance of defeating Pakistan. But looking at their performance against India, they doesn't seem like a very weak team. All I am saying is that Pakistan needs to be careful. If they get complacent, then Hong Kong may use this opportunity to get an upset win against them. And as I mentioned, they have already proved that they are capable of upsets. And that was back in 2014 against Bangladesh. Anyway, less than 2 hours to go for the match. Let's see how it turns out.

Even though Pakistan is an unpredictable team but this is a match with the most weakest team of the tournament, that is Hong Kong and they are expected to win this match. If they can't win this, then they should not play cricket 

Anyways upsets do happen but it hope this is not an upset day. The news from the center is that Pakistan have lost the toss and they are now batting first. Need to score a big big score in order to secure the match.

I do understand that Pakistan should be careful and not take Hongkong as a weak side. But, they (HK) are not more capable than Afghanistan in this tournament. They are a hired bunch and not natives representing or playing for their land. A lot of them are either Pak/Ind origin but their proffesional approach is commendable. We did viewed it when they played against India. Just imagine if Hongkong would offer them extra money today just to destroy the morale of Pakistan. Still I believe Pakistan is in a good position against Hongkong.

By the way most HK players have a day job. They only play because they love cricket.

That's right, Pakistan should not lose the match otherwise the next round won't be much interest. Seeing the odds. Hongkong 11, you put 1 dollar on hongkong win and you will gain 11 dollars, that is too much attractive but I am sure it won't happen. I think this will be a one sided match.

150 score against India  as the team like Hong Kong isn't it good ? There is no question about that Pakistan is a very strong team against Hong Kong but we should not underestimate any team . Because it has been observed many times before that many weak teams beat big giant teams , nothing can be 100% sure before the match . Match has been already started Pakistan lost their one wicket at 3over and the score is 14/1.

When it comes to Pakistan and Hong Kong, it is easily predicted that Pakistan will win and advance to the Super 4. While Pakistan is clearly the favorite, what if Hong Kong plays exceptionally well? Babar Azam, Pakistan's top T20I batter, departs after scoring just nine runs. It's nice to see Pakistani batters progressing nicely.

[Hamza2424]

Pakistan is going good with the Batting Side as Pakistan achieved the 76 Runs on the loss of 1 Wicket only here so when it comes for the Bowling Side of Pakistan o think match is pretty much easy for Pakistan as Pakistan has very good Bowling power as well. No Doubt Pakistan is going to win lets enjoy the match.

Pakistan is a much better team than Hong Kong . And Hong Kong never compares to Pakistan . Pakistan have already scored 94 runs in 13 overs. which is suggesting that they might easily make 170 to 75 if they end up playing the 20 overs game. I don't think Hong Kong can beat Pakistan with that run

Pakistan is unpredictable side, you can't say they will win today's game. So far Hong Kong have done a good job in bowling, Pakistan are 128 in 16 overs. The only edge Pakistan have at the moment is they have lost only one wicket. Don't forget team batting second are mostly winner here in UAE.

Pakistan already reach 164 runs in 19 overs only 1 over left to end Pakistan batting . Pakistan have been playing very well of last couple overs. i expect Pakistan can score 175-185 and Hong Kong won't win easily with this runs.

Pakistan collect 193 for the loss of 2 wickets. Hong Kong were able to put some pressure on them early but Pakistan tried to play carefully with having wickets and they succeeded in that strategy. They managed to score a lot of runs towards the end. Especially in the 20th over, Pakistan threw a big target by scoring 29 runs.

Pakistan played very well.  Pakistan are 193 runs in 20 overs and they have lost 2 wickets.  Mohammad Rizwan played very well scoring 78 runs off 57 balls.  Khushdil Shah scored 35 off 15 balls.  Pakistan played very well today.  Now let's see who wins this match.  I hope Pakistan will win this match.  We now have to wait until the game is over.  If Pakistan can bowl well now then they will win this match.

I think it will be big challenge for Hong Kong is to stay in the game, not to win this match. If they can't utilize on the power play, they won't be able to get back into the game. If you want to play a big target, you have to be aggressive from the start and also keep the wickets as well. If not, the match will easily go under opposite team.

Do you think Hong Kong will win by batting at a target of 194 runs? This is ridiculous. Pakistan's bowlers are experienced. I doubt whether Hong Kong can score even 140 runs batting against such a bowling line-up. Hong Kong batsmen are not experienced enough. Pakistan batted well and managed to give big targets. I think they can easily win this match.

Yes I also thing Hong Kong batsmen's are not  able to touch the target specially against Pakistan. And already Hong Kong lost their 2 wicket at 19/2  in only  4 over . I think there is a doubt whether Hong Kong can cross 100 runs against. Pakistani bowler Naseem Sah has been doing very well with his bowling he brings a good starting for Pakistan, he has already taken two wickets and RCon is under is about 3.5.

I talked about that a while ago that if Hong Kong wants to stay in the game, they have to be aggressive and stay in wickets. But Hong Kong is moving away in two ways. In the meantime, they have managed to score only 25 runs in 6 overs after losing 4 wickets. This match has already become a one-sided match from which Hong Kong will be unable to defense.
