T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Mahdirakib]

It's really don't understable that why the Afghanistan doing good in the both bating and bowling side at the first of match but they can't hold that long time. But even then it's not also predicable who will win today. If Afghanistan take more 2 wicket now I think they can be win.

The match has ended dramatically. Pakistan won it by one wicket only. Although I thought that it was an easy target for Pakistan, but Afghanistan players has bowled nicely and put Pakistan under pressure. 11 runs were needed in the last over with 1 wicket in hand. Naseem Shah hitted two sixes in the first two balls, which was completely unexpected. India and Afghanistan are eliminated now.

In the end Pakistan won the match. But it was very difficult for them to win this match. Pakistan needed 21 runs off the last 12 balls. And they lost 7 wickets. Pakistan also lost two wickets in the 19th over. Pakistan needed 11 runs to win in the last over. Pakistan won thanks to Naseem Shah's brilliant batting of 14 runs off 4 balls.

The performance of the Afghanistan bowlers was exceptional. Mujeeb did not get a wicket but conceded only 12 runs in 4 overs. For Mujeeb I would say the match was under Afghanistan's control. Fazalhaq Farooqi managed to pick up 3 wickets but he gave away a lot of runs.

I see the game at the end where it looked like a Caribbean cricketer was hitting 2 sixs one after one. But that it was done by one of Pakistani batsmen. It is really hard to believe. The improvement of Pakistani players can be found by looking of such performance.

Naseem Shah changed the outcome of the game just as those who were ready to accept the title of losers. I watch a really amazing match today.

I thought that Afghanistan had the match in control but then their best bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi could not control his emotions and  give two juicy full toss to the Number 11 batsmen who hit 2 perfect sixes and snatch the win from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan really played well to defend the score but it was really not their day. There were literally crying after the match. Emotional scenes here at Sharjah.

Congratulations to Pakistan cricket team. The last moment of this match was really a very excitement moment.Where Pakistan had no chance of winning, I thought they will just lost 10th wickets. Huge shoutout to Naseem Sah Who changed the story.  Afghanistan bowlers are also makes good delivery and many time they were successful for making underpressure on pakistan and they also create a most unpredictable match today .

This is Pakistan,  Ladies and babies

Naseem Shah hit two sixes to shatter the dreams of Indians and destroyed Afghanistan.

What a finish. I have no words right now. Too much excitement  

It was a really strong comeback by Afghanistan defending a small total. I was expecting this to be an easy chase for Pakistan and then when i saw the scoreboard they lost 9 wickets and i thought Afghanistan would win the match and ruin my bets as i placed a bet on Pakistan to win considering the low score and Naseem Shah saved the day  .

So Pakistan and Sri Lanka will play the final right.

It was an incredible and breathtaking match. It was unimaginable that Afghanistan played so well in this match. After being given a target of 130 runs, everyone thought the match would be completely one-sided. But this is not the case. Pakistan lost the wickets of Babar and Fakhar Zaman early in the innings. Iftikhar and Sadab batted somewhat well but Pakistan could not take control of the match. Pakistan won because of Naseem's 4-ball 14-run knock. Pakistan will probably be the champion of this year's Asia Cup.

Arshdeep Singh after India vs Pakistan controversy was the costliest bowler. I hope the selectors do not drop him in the upcoming T20WC.
India will not play the final for sure as I am confident Pakistan will win against Afghanistan.

Arshdeep was costly, but he was able to made the final over interesting. He can continously deliver ball in yorker length. Perhaps, selectors will keep him in the T20 world cup squad if they don't take his dropped catch very seriously (Against Pakistan).

Afghanistan has given the target of 130 runs only. I don't see any possibilities for Afghanistan to win this match. The final will be between Pakistan and Sri Lanka if Pakistan win this match by chasing this easy target.

I also think that this target is not big deal for Pakistan. But Afghanistan's bowlers are not less. If I talk about their spinners, they will be among the top few bowlers in the world. Moreover, Farooqui took a wicket in the first over as a pacer. Even then I think Pakistan's Rizwan and Zaman if they bat carefully I think both of them can win Pakistan.

I thought it would be very difficult for Pakistan to beat Afghanistan, but Pakistan-Afghanistan was easily defeated by Afghanistan's batting and bowling, so Afghanistan had to be defeated by Pakistan very easily. Pakistan defeated Afghanistan by 9 wickets for 131 runs.  All of them have been able to move the game efficiently

Pakistan won an incredible match that no one could have imagined. Pakistan won the match by collecting 12 runs in the last over and last wicket with 4 balls in hand. Afghanistan, on the other hand, came very close to victory but did not win. It is not their failure they have played well enough and they are already playing a mature game. They are now at the top of the discussion ‍all over the world.

This is Pakistan 🇵🇰💚,  Ladies and babies
Naseem Shah hit two sixes to shatter the dreams of Indians and destroyed Afghanistan.

Thank you, Naseem Shah. Thank you Team Pakistan !!!
What a finish. I have no words right now. Too much excitement  

there was too much excitement in this match, this kid just blasted the Afghanistan baller out of the park
in addition, it is important to not forget the performance of Shadab Khan as well, it was he who was given the order to handle the spinners, the best guess that i can make is that he was sent to disbalance the performance of the spinners, he did that very well

when the top order was not able to handle Rashid Khan well, he blasted Rashid Khan for sixes, this was a good performance from Pakistan but i cannot deny that it was too close for their liking as well

What a nail biting finish today of the match. Out of nowhere Naseem made the day for Pakistan. Afghanistan played really well undoubtedly and were almost near the win, maybe the bowler couldn't handle the pressure at the end and went to overdo things. Anyways it's still a long way in future for Afganistan they are now becoming as a 5th big team of Asia which has the capability to defeat the big teams as well. Final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka would really be an interesting one. After the super 4 matches i have to say it's uncertain.

I find Afghanistan to be better in this match. The team managed well to restrict Pakistan within the target score. Anyhow its a big try and missed the win very narrowly. As said, Afghanistan have evolved big and gonna make big change. If Pakistan have lost the match, the upcoming Super 4 matches would've turned even more interesting as there'll be big fight for the top 2 position.

Pakistan players fought a lot in this game and won the match.  I congratulate Pakistan team.  Pakistan players once again proved that they are a very strong team.  Batting played a major role in Pakistan's victory.  They worked hard to win the match.  Pakistan's bowlers also have a role to play here.

What was the reason for all the drama between Asif Ali and Fareed Ahmad?

And then things got ugly in the stands and there was a big fight between the Afghan fans and Pakistani fans:

https://twitter.com/AsYouNotWish/status/1567595597997436929

Actually I feel bad about fans from both the sides. Rules in the UAE are very strict. Those who indulge in vandalism will be identified, jailed and then deported. So many cameras inside the stadium and no one can escape.

This is ridiculous! First the players fight and then the supporters fight. I have seen footages wherein the supported of both teams were fighting outside the stadium. Cricket is slowly turning into footbal the same kind of vandalism and fight are quite common.

Yes, they would eventuality get deported but they would be first jailed and might have to also pay a hefty fine. They will also get banned from entering UAE.

Last match we see the bad effects of the emotions which reflect on the cricketers as well as the viewers intention. Some of the aggrieved spectators are expressing their anger in the gallery. Afghanistan - Pakistan match was full of excitement. At one stage, Asif Ali and Fareed Ahmad were seen miss behalf on the field. But the TV screen shows Asif Ali got overexcited and he took a stiff stance with the bat. On the other hand, the spectators also broke into two groups and there were reports of some people getting injured. All the guilty must be punished.

on the first video it is seen that Fareed Ahmad jokingly heads a bad sign towards Asif Ali . But Asif ali gets annoyed by it and has serious bad behavior with Fareed Ahmad.  And wants to hit him with a bat . Such behavior in the game is really hurtful . Both of them should have taken this as a joke and ended the matter there

That's what I thought as well. Fareed Ahmad, being an explosive and aggressive pace bowler was excited with the wicket of Asif and celebrated in a way which angered the latter. Naseem got involved as well. But there was no need for Asif to threaten Fareed with his bat. Verbal spat should be dealt verbally. What is the need to get involved physically? All that said, Afghanistan played like true heroes. Almost managed to defend such a low total. They have a lot of positives to take away from yesterday's match.

Mate, if you are watching Pakistan cricket team matches then surely you have to imagined about many things as any results can happen, and anything is possible in this match even Pakistan is playing against Zimbabwe or Australia they are hilarious and talented for these things for many years around the world. But good thing happened yesterday that they have new Hero Nasim Shah even Shadab is MOM for his best all round performance, but this kid is new hero for them and surely Afghani and Indian fans are going to have to dream about this for some days in future because today with his two sixes both teams are down and out of this Asia Cup.

Once when Pakistan was losing wickets very frequently I was sure today they are going to lose match just because of if they won then two matches are going to be crap, but they have done and now just final is ok other matches are just for formality.

Asif fell wicket and there was a tension in him and he could not accept Fareed's joke at that time. I think this issue made Asif angry with Fareed . And he takes initiative to vent his anger on Fareed.  But when Fareed wants to attack him back.  Asif then goes to hit Fareed with the bat . Do you think it was just a misunderstanding between the two or do you think it was intentional?
