T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Cryptock]

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.

beating Pakistan is not any easy task for a new team like Hongkong.
But having said that..
I think they did play well - but they have take care of their bowling and batting - Hongkong bowlers gave so many wides and no balls. I think they were nervous in front of Pakistani team

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.

Hong Kong is a very weak team. They had no chance to win this match. Seems like you don't have much knowledge about cricket teams. You wouldn't say that if you had idea about the capability of Pakistan and Hong Kong players. Pakistan has won the match by 155 runs. Hong Kong got all out in just 38 runs. Perhaps, India and Pakistan will enter in the final from the super 4 round.

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 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.

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.

A team like Hong Kong how will they deal with Pakistan because Hong Kong is a new team.Hong Kong's game needs to improve but they will never do well with this kind of preparation.Both their bowling and batting need to improve more. Today where Pakistan scored 193 runs losing only two wickets 20 over balls are played. But there Hong Kong scored 38 runs and lost all wickets playing 10.4 overs.Following today's match we can tell that Hong Kong's performance improved even more then they entered.

[Haunebu]

I cannot believe the fact that so many people in this thread actually thought that a team like Hong Kong stood a chance against a powerful team like Pakistan especially when the target is close to 200 runs.

They destroyed them systematically. This was basically a warm-up match for Pakistan which they needed after their earlier defeat against India.

Hong Kong lost all wickets and they just able to collect 38 runs. However, the cricket world did not expect much from them as they played today against one of the biggest teams in cricket. But if they could have played more, maybe some runs would have been added. Anyway, Pakistan won the match by 155 runs. Already Bangladesh and Hong Kong have been eliminated from this Asia Cup.

Most of the members have no enough knowledge about cricket, and they were giving their predictions about this match which were completely nonsense, some were giving only on base of their performance against India, but today Pakistan give them good lesson.

[Hamza2424]

Pakistan won the match so easy by 155 runs that impressive we were expecting that type of win but our team made it more fun and impressive for us. By the way that was an easy win lets expect such performance by the Pakistan in other matches as well. Alhamdullilah the feats are going to be continue for the Pakistan. I'm Excitedly waiting for the next match between the Pakistan and India. These two opponents are beyond the lines.

People believed of Hong Kong based on the performance it made against India. In that match Hong Kong had a target of 193 runs which is almost same as today's match. In that match Hong Kong managed to score 152 runs losing 5 wickets. That made people take a chance on Hong Kong.

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.

Yeah, I guess  he has no knowledge about cricket and feeling today Honk Kong is going to beat Pakistan with having score like 193 to chase down against experienced Pakistan bowling line up.
 
I just check Pakistan bowled out Hong Kong for 38 which is their lowest total against any full member as before this record was held by the Netherlands against Sri Lanka now this belongs to them against Pakistan with no batsmen able to score runs into double figure we have total three boundaries with one was on wide ball good play by Pakistan and now again we are heading for another encounter between Pakistan vs India on Sunday 4th September.

I think you have to believe because now in this format any result can happen against any team we have cricket into good shape and in near future we will watch too many upsets and shocking results in this format specially when team like Pakistan is on the ground then surely miserable results can happen because we have few teams which are unpredictable and can go down without any serious trouble as like Pakistan goes down against Bangladesh in 1999 ODI World Cup and then again in 2007 ODI World Cup Pakistan lost against Ireland after giving them 132 runs target, and they achieve this with the lost of seven wickets. After this match, Pakistan's coach Bob Woolmer died in a hotel room, we have a history of results like this from Pakistan.

It was so easy for Pakistan against Hong Kong. They gave a huge target of 194. Obviously, we knew that Hong Kong was not going to achieve a victory in this match after facing that type of target. But we also did not expect Hong Kong to get all out in 38 runs .

I mean the maximum individual score from Hong Kong was eight. Yes, a single-digit 8 runs were the maximum for a Hong Kong player.

Tomorrow Pakistan is going to get a chance to get their revenge against India. That is going to be interesting for sure.
India won the first one against Pakistan in this tournament. So that is going to make Pakistan the favorite in this match.


Good Luck

Pakistan once again showed their strength.  The whole match was actually one-sided, it can be said that Pakistan did not give any concession to Hong Kong, they managed to bowl out Hong Kong in just 38 runs.  Through this they have made a history in uae.  I expected Pakistan to win but didn't expect Hong Kong to perform so badly.  Any way congratulations to the Pakistan team for advancing to the next stage.  We may be going to see India and Pakistan play again.

Hong Kong players scored more than 150 runs against India. They played very well. But I was sure that they will not play so well against Pakistan. Pakistan bowlers are very experienced. And their performances against relatively weaker teams are even more striking. Hong Kong will score 90-100 runs in today's match. But to my surprise they lost all the wickets for just 38 runs.

Congratulations to Team Pakistan - That was an easy win for team.
You are right - Pakistani bowlers are very experienced and they did great work today.
But thumbs up for Hong Kong players they tried well...

Dear I don't really think like that, Hong Kong was an easy team for Pakistan that is true but trying to convince that Hong Kong tried very well thats not true. Hong Kong just got Knocked out as i don't know why but that was just non acceptable performance by any team of its week or Strong they need to put higher efforts to improve their Batting Line up. As far i saw the things Hong Kong didpoor on both sides.

Hong Kong started well and they played good cricket till the 10th over and restricted Pakistan to a reasonable total. However, since Pakistan had wickets in hand, it was easy going after that and Pakistan never looked back. Also, Hong Kong did not have enough experience and hence Pakistan took full advantage of it and in the end, it was a piece of cake for Pakistan.

Asia Cup now enters into stage two and we will see more exciting matches now.

Its not the Hong Kong that played well. It is Pakistan that planned well and executed their plan perfectly. During the first ten overs the ultimate plan was not to lose wickets. The team maintained it scoring slowly. Once after they got momentum, the batsman started well as their is wickets left behind. This made them set a good target of 193 runs.

[Vaskiy]

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.

Finally we were able to see the lack of experience as well as the fact of being unprofessional will never give hands. Based on the performance against India and Pakistan, it looks like Hong Kong have felt good batting against Indian bowlers. So, it is time for the Indian bowlers to make better plans for the upcoming matches.

Pakistan played a very good game in the match but there are some players who batted very well I think Pakistan played the best match I saw a lot of love from Pakistan bowled well and batting well I am very happy that Pakistan won

[Sithara007]

It was a disaster yesterday. Hong Kong was really pathetic. They conceded close to 200 runs while fielding first and then lost the match by 150 runs. And this is the reason why I want ICC to prohibit teams sending 100% foreign citizen squads to such tournaments. Hong Kong stole the slot from teams with native players (Nepal, Malaysia.etc) and then put up a pathetic performance against Pakistan. If the ICC doesn't take concrete actions, at least the ACC should make it mandatory to have at least 3-4 native players in the XI.

[rojan]

Pakistan players are very good. Pakistan batted very well. At first their runs were very few then they scored many runs. And Pakistan bowled very well. The match was played very well. I supported Pakistan. I already felt that Pakistan will win the match. Pakistan once again showed that they are a very strong team. I congratulate Pakistan.
