T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[kotwica666]

Congratulations to the Sri Lankan team for becoming champions for the sixth time. It was unexpected that Sri Lanka would be championing this year. Sri Lanka was badly beaten in the first match. Then they make a grand comeback. And won by dominating almost every match.

Today's pitch was a bowling-friendly pitch. Pakistan batsmen's performance was very bad. A small target of 122 runs was not possible to win. Still Pakistan tried to win the match. Pathum Nissanka's responsible batting prevented Pakistan from winning. He was unbeaten with 55 runs off 48 balls. Nissanka is the main hero of today's match wins. He has played well when the team needed him.

If we consider in terms of teams, Pakistan is much ahead of Sri Lanka. I did not think that today's match will be lost like this. Although the pitch was in favor of the bowlers, it was equal for both teams. Pakistan scored very few runs, which I think was the main reason for their loss.

Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 124 for 5 in the Asia Cup T20 match. In the beginning, the fear of Pakistan's victory was more than Sri Lanka's but later on Sri Lanka took the match much further and changed the playing style of the Sri Lankan players.

How much idea you have about cricket? It wasn't the final match of this Asia cup. Pakistan and Sri Lanka has played the 'super four group stage' match today. The final will be played on 11th September between them.
Anyway, Sri Lanka wasn't in the top 3 favourite team list for this Asia cup. They started with very poor performance against Afghanistan. Everyone criticized them. But now they are going to play the final as a favourite team!

Sorry, it was not the final match. It was my mistake. The rules of the Asia Cup are not the same as the World Cup. Asia Cup is somewhat complicated. This is why I misunderstood. However, the final match between Sri Lanka vs Pakistan is going to be held on 11th September. However, Afghanistan was more favorites over Sri Lanka in this year's Asia Cup. And they played very well in the first few matches. India, on the other hand, was unfortunate to not reach the finals. Despite their batsmen being in very good form. This is their failure.

Lol dude it wasn't the final match . I think you got confused after seeing the chart . Because last 2 matches were sri lanka and pakistan matches so it is natural that those who understand less about cricket will make mistakes.  This match was also the part of group stage super 4 match but Sri Lanka and  Pakistan already confirmed the final . Next time before watching the match please watch the fixture.

[coinerer]

It's seems that Sri Lanka is very near to their win they have more 6 wicket and their run is now 103 at 15over. And Sri Lankan batman Nishanka doing a great performance today got half century run with 117 Strike rate . It's really a disappointing match from Pakistan batsmens . I think the reason of their loss is completely for the Batmens. This match will also decrease their confidence for the final match and it is a plus point for Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka have won the match. From the performance from Pakistan players, it looks like they're good to play against India. With such a good list of players in the squad and scoring 121 runs is a very bad performance. In the previous match against Afghanistan out of some minor mistakes from Afghanistan the match went into the hands of Pakistan. If this is the case we'll see a bad final which will be one sided.

Pakistan performance made me realize today that they will lose today against Sri Lanka . That's exactly what happened.  Sri Lanka played very well today.  They beat Pakistan in just 17 overs.  If Pakistan would have scored more than 150 runs today.  Even then they would have lost today with Sri Lanka. Congratulations for Sri Lanka

In the Asia Cup, Sri Lanka's game is showing a lot of improvement. It remains to be seen how good their performance will be for the T20 World Cup. At the same time, Pakistan will try to be more active for the upcoming Final match in any way. But Sri Lanka and Pakistan can witness a great fight.

[SirLancelot]

I think the most u thinkable might happen. Sri Lanka might lift the Asia Cup, i was keeping Sri Lanka as the least favourites of winning this world cup as they weren't performing well at all lately. I even ranked them below Afghanistan and Bangladesh but to an utter surprise to everyone they have defeated the best of the teams of Asia. Indian fans are feeling really sad, just those two balls in Pak vs Afg match would have changed the scenario completely for India as rest everything went in India's favour. But now I am betting on Sri Lanka for the Final as well because Pakistan will come with a mental pressure of this defeat in the next match.

Resurgent Sri Lanka is going to be very dangerous in final and coming world cup because their attitude is surely positive and after long bad patch they are giving amazing performance specially in last three matches they are having full command in matches against Afghanistan, India and now Pakistan their record in Asia Cup is also very good specially against Pakistan.

They have done good experiment which is going to help them in final game with this performance most chances they will lift trophy another time and going to be DARK Horse in coming world cup because their record in Australia is also never been bad for Pakistan they are not learning from their mistakes which mean we are not going to have any positive development from them, and they can do down badly.

You are celebrating a bit too early as this was the routine super six match and real final will be played on Sunday which will decide the winner of the Asia cup.

I won't consider this win for Sri Lanka as a significant win as usually when both teams are already in the finals sometimes the players also relax and do not give their 100% performance and commitment.

Although it was not the final match, Sri Lanka's performance in this match was very commendable. Due to the excellent performance of the Sri Lankan bowlers, Pakistan's innings stopped at just 121 runs. Hasaranga and Maheesh bowled very well. Dhananjaya also got just one wicket but conceded just 18 runs in four overs. If the Sri Lankan bowlers can do such a great performance in the final as well then Sri Lanka will win the title.

[Vaskiy]

Maybe the performance from Sri Lanka have improved, but the real final will have big difference. This match is like a practice match. In the finals scenario will change and more responsible game can be seen from both the teams. Even the odds are in favour of Pakistan @1.54 and Sri Lanka @2.38

WE experience some amazing cricket in last few days and hope to have very good on in final but what happened after Afghan - Pakistan match was very strange and we have not seen that ever in the history before.

[mm2543363580]

Every match in the semi-finals looks set to be competitive. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are relatively weak teams. But these two teams have shown outstanding performance in some matches. They have the ability to perform well against teams like India and Pakistan. On the other hand, India and Pakistan teams are also in very good form. So every semi-final match is going to be very competitive.

The next match is going to be another high voltage India vs Sri Lanka match. Because this match is very important for India to win to keep their hope of playing the final. On the other hand, Sri Lanka played their last match well and won against Afghanistan, as a result of which Sri Lanka will play with more confidence here. Although India is stronger than Sri Lanka but I think they will be under a lot of pressure in this match, let's see what the result will be in the end. So really Super 4 matches are giving real cricket entertainment to cricket fans.

the final be the most amazing match - I am sure

[rojan]

Sri Lankan team won the toss and elected to bowl against Pakistan following the last super 4 Asia Cup match. Since the chasing team has won most of the previous matches, Sri Lanka's decision to bowl first makes sense. I look forward to seeing a good game. We're pleased to see both teams play their entire squad, with senior players not resting unnecessarily.

Pakistan are batting after losing the last match of the Super 4 Asia Cup.So far Pakistan team has lost two wickets and collected 66 runs.Pakistan played 10 overs. So far, Babur Azam has survived with the bat.Of course we will enjoy Pakistan's good performance and good game let's see who wins today's match.

Pakistan's 3 wickets down. Pakistan's batting is under a lot of pressure now. Babar Azam is out for 30 off 29 balls.  Today it seems that Pakistan players will not be able to score more than 150 runs in this match.  Sri Lanka bowlers are bowling very well.  In this way if Sri Lanka can play well then I hope Sri Lanka will win the match.

At the end of 18 overs, Pakistan collected 110 runs, losing 8 wickets. The pitch is bowling friendly which is well understood at the beginning of the match. This is why the batsmen were batting very slowly in Pakistan. However, they could not collect much. If Pakistan can score 140 runs on this type of pitch, it seems that Pakistan will have the instinct to win. Pakistan bowlers are very experienced.

Pakistan got all out at 121. And I think it's a pretty easy target for a team in a t-20 now let's see what can do Sri Lanka. Already they are in pitch and loose 1 wicket this is not good signal for Sri Lanka. If they get out early like Pakistan then I think it will be difficult for them to win today. And they should carefully increase their Run rate obviously to win this match theri current run rate is so low.

If Pakistan can score more than 140 today I would definitely say they will win. But it is very difficult to win with a target of 122 runs. However, the batsmen are having a lot of trouble scoring runs on such a pitch. However, Sri Lanka lost both wickets after collecting 7 runs after 3 overs. If Sri Lanka can't muster more than 30 from the pair of Dhananjaya and Nissanka, it will be difficult to win.

Yes, if Pakistan could have scored 140 runs then Pakistan would have won this match. But they could not do it. I think Pakistan played a very bad game in this match. Batting and bowling they have done badly. For that they lost the match. I was feeling the style of play as Sri Lanka were in possession of this match. So I said Sri Lanka will win the match. Sri Lanka all players played well.

I don't think so. Sri Lanka still has five wickets and three overs in hands. Would you fear hitting shots in the slog overs when you have an opener like Nissanka on the crease and five wickets in your hands? I don't think so. Hasan Ali was expensive, and he still has an over to do. So, Nothing under 160 is safe against Sri-lanka at this moment. Don't Forget they chased 180+ scores in this tournament already.

Yes I think what you said is correct.  I forgot Sri Lanka had 5 more wickets.  But Pakistan played so badly in this match that it is beyond my imagination.  All Pakistan players were all out.  They could have scored good runs in the match if they tried to hold the wicket from the start and play the match.

[Sithara007]

Pakistan is such an unpredictable team and it was reflected in yesterday's match as well. First their batsmen failed to put enough runs on board. A total of 121 was not defendable, given the batsmen friendly conditions at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. It was surprising to see renowned Pakistani batsmen struggling against second string bowlers such as Pramod Madushan and Maheesh Theekshana. And then the spinners (Wanindu Hasaranga and Dhananjaya de Silva) finished the work that was started by the pacers.

[JSRAW]

Sorry, it was not the final match. It was my mistake. The rules of the Asia Cup are not the same as the World Cup. Asia Cup is somewhat complicated. This is why I misunderstood. However, the final match between Sri Lanka vs Pakistan is going to be held on 11th September. However, Afghanistan was more favorites over Sri Lanka in this year's Asia Cup. And they played very well in the first few matches. India, on the other hand, was unfortunate to not reach the finals. Despite their batsmen being in very good form. This is their failure.

Don't worry about it. It was a genuine mistake, they made this tournament unnecessary long after the group matches. It should've been knockout but what can we do? Nothing I guess.

Looked like a practice match for both teams. Pakistan could get new learning from this match and on the other hand, Sri Lanka should just try not to become complacent.

If you win the toss then you have an edge so not very impressed with Dubai's conditions. Let's just hope this pattern change in the finals with some thrilling performance.

They could have scored good runs in the match if they tried to hold the wicket from the start and play the match.

When it comes to chasing, Sri Lanka is good at it. They won several matches chasing runs. Yesterday they lost some early wickets. Still, they managed to win the match with five wickets. About Pakistan, I would say they tried to test the players from the bench. They replaced Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah with Usman Qadir and Hasan Ali. Pakistan shouldn't rely on Asif Ali, Nawaz and Rizwan. They cannot perform in every match. Mr. Captain should fire up and show his skills in the final.

They wanted to give some rest to Naseem Shah, and it's OK. He is a young bowler and it is important not to overburden him. But the replacements didn't perform well. Pace attack was one led by Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf, with Hasan Ali leaking too many runs. Usman Qadir was also very expensive (especially in a low scoring match), although he picked up the wicket of Bhanuka Rajapaksa. The absence of a quality spinner is going to be a big problem for Pakistan. Neither Usman Qadir nor Shadab Khan has the international quality.
