T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

So who is watching the 2nd match for today between England and Afghanistan?

Afghanistan's batting failed today and it seems that they are unable to adjust to the Perth conditions. No batsmen were able to score big runs today and they are struggling at 107 for 5 runs. This is a good batting pitch and 160 is a par score on this pitch. I am afraid Afghanistan will finish the innings well less than the par score.

Afghanistan finished their innings at 112/10. This is nothing but a batting failure. Sam Curran has single-handedly destroyed Afghanistan's batting lineup, 5 wickets for 10 runs. Afghanistan have lost five wickets in the last three overs alone, so how will they add runs to the scoreboard? This match will be an easy win for England, If Afghanistan could score 140 - 150 then maybe Afghanistan can do well in this match. But it will not be possible to stop England with this low score.

England are very close to victory in this game as they have scored 43 runs in 7 overs. To win against team like England, Afghanistan must have scored 150+ runs. Sam Curran 5 wickets in 3.4 overs did the job for England. With this performance Afghanistan won't progress in tournament.

It's not possible to hold the match with this low score, especially against a team like England. There is nothing to do if the batting fall in disaster at the beginning. Any other team would have made the match somewhat difficult but every cricketer in England is very good in Test Cricket. With that kind of play in their match today, England team can get an easy win.

Afghanistan couldn't finish the way they started, allowing England to take advantage of everything. When any team has a target of small total then they are pressure free and win the match. Now England are playing pressure free and are close to victory. England need 54 runs in 66 balls, 8 wickets in hand.

England are too strong in t20 format and Afghanistan is still evolving in international cricket. Time is running out for Afghanistan team to improve there performance otherwise they will be like Bangladesh forever. Batting of Afghanistan failed completely today as they are all out on 112.

[Naficopa]

Afghanistan gave England a very small target.  It is a small target for England as an England team.  England's batting style is understandable.  England will easily fill this target.  Even after that, nothing can be said about the confidence in the T20 match.  I have seen many T20 matches.  Sometimes it is difficult to fill small targets.  and fails to meet the target.  England's batsmen have performed well so far.  England have collected 49 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 7.4 overs so far.  If England can hold the match and play.  Then there is a chance for England to win

Afghanistan didn't perform well in batting but they have done reasonably good in bowling. England need 38 runs from 42 balls. Afghanistan have picked up 3 wikcets and have dropped couple of catches otherwise it will be a different story of the match.

Afghanistan really batted poorly today. They will not be able to do well in the upcoming World Cup with this kind of batting. 112 runs is no big deal for a team like England , they came very close to victory. Afghanistan's batting will have to perform well, otherwise they will not achieve anything good.

14th match of Super 12 Group 1 ICC T20 World Cup. England won the toss and decided to bowl. England's rebounding performance looks pretty good. England bowlers' balls. Afghanistan's batsmen are not able to play at that speed. Afghanistan scored 91 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 15.3 overs. I think Afghanistan will not give England a big target. If Afghanistan batsmen can play good short in the remaining overs. Then Afghanistan's score will come to roughly one position. Let's see how much Afghanistan can score in the end

This is not the 14th match of the super 12, this is just the 2nd match of the super 12. Previously we had group matches and the top two teams from each group made it to the super 12.

Although Afghanistan did not bat well, but they are not letting England win easily. England still needs around 5 runs per over while ideally, they should have finished the match by now. Afghanistan bowlers and fielders are making sure, that England does have to work hard for each and every run. If Afghanistan had 20 more runs with them, the match could have resulted in Afghanistan's favors.

Australia   VS   New Zealand

And shortly after, the match between Australia and New Zealand is going to be held. Two teams are strong here. It is a bit difficult to predict which team will win. However, the New Zealand team did not play well against Pakistan in the last tri-national series. Also, in the warm-up match, New Zealand lost all wickets against South Africa for just 98 runs. On the other hand, Australia is in good form compared to New Zealand. If Australia's top-order plays well today, I think they will win. New Zealand batsmen are not in good form. If his Australia can give a big target today, they will surely win.

New Zealand wins by 89 runs and it is the highest victory by highest runs against Australia in a world cup match. Australia were all out for 111 and they would not expected it at all. Even I was shocked by the way Australia started this chase. There were no batsmen from Australia who showed any resistance to the NZ bowler Soutee who took 3 wickets. Santner also took three wickets but gave a bit more runs. Soutee gave only 6 runs in 2.1 overs.
I think it was the pressure of  200 runs due to which Australia was under pressure and they never recovered from this pressure. The wickets keep falling for Australia and there were no partnerships which could help  them.

The result was very shocking for me. I did not expect such a result. Before the start of the match I thought Australia was favourite. But the way New Zealand started their innings, I expected us to enjoy a competitive match. But this is not the case. We have seen complete one-sided dominance by New Zealand players. An experienced team like Australia lost all wickets for just 111 runs. Shame on them.

It has truly been an amazing match. Both New Zealand and Australia were among the strongest teams. Hope their games are always competitive. But in this match a cricket team like Australia was defeated by 89 runs which is not really acceptable. Australia need to bounce back from this kind of performance very quickly.

There is no doubt that England are strong in T20. But I said if Afghanistan could have scored 140-150 then the result could have been something else. At the start of the game it looked like England would easily win by a huge margin, but it didn't look that easy in the end. Afghanistan's bowling line-up is really strong, they took the game to 18 overs with such a small score, which is certainly worthy of praise.

Afghanistan is a much better team than Bangladesh in T20 format, if you look at Afghanistan's past performances and Bangladesh's, then you will understand how far Afghanistan has progressed in this format.

That's exactly how I feel, too. If Afghanistan had scored more than 20-30 runs, the game might have been more interesting. England, however, faced tough competition from Afghanistan. Anyhow, England's 2022 World Cup campaign gets off to a winning start. Despite having struggled batting against the strong England side, Afghanistan bowled well in their first T20 tournament in Australia.

Afghan batsmen are not very experienced. And they struggled initially against the searing pace of Mark Wood (who was bowling at 96 mph). Once the openers (Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz) were removed, the match was firmly under the control of England. Ibrahim Zadran and Usman Ghani scored the runs, but they were too slow. And once they got out, Afghanistan collapsed from 62/2 to 112 all out. Middle and lower order batsmen contributed nothing, and after Najibullah Zadran none of the batsmen got in to double digits.

After 11 years, New Zealand won the first in Australia!

Before today, their last win in Australia was in 2011, in a Test match where Trent Boult made his international debut
Congratulations team New Zealand

Finally against Afghanistan England won the match. England reached the target losing 5 wickets in 18.1 overs. The England team did a little better in bowling but could not do so well in batting. But it must be admitted that the England team's game was a bit better. And won the match for being a little better. But I think England fans are not satisfied with this good. I watched the whole game, although the match was won by England. But none of the batsmen could play good shots. I think the England team needs to be stronger to reach the end goal

I already knew that England would win. Because when Afghanistan set a target of 112 runs, everyone understood that England would win. But Afghanistan's bowlers have to be praised as they bowled brilliantly for 112 runs, which took England 18 overs.

So the next match is between Ireland and Srilanka. Although everyone will think that Srilanka should win easily but we never know the results because Ireland is also a very good team. We have seen their performances in the group stages and they can give tough competition to the Srilankans.



Looking at the odds at stake.com, it is still good to bet on Srilanka before the start of the match and get 1.34 odds. If Srilanka looks strong in the match, the odds will go down considerably.

Ireland have played well in their last two matches. If Ireland play good cricket against Sri Lanka tomorrow, we might see an enjoyable match. There is no doubt that Sri Lanka are the favorites in this match, but the way Ireland dominated the West Indies will make Sri Lanka somewhat cautious to avoid anything untoward happening. Sri Lanka team is in injury trouble as Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of the World Cup.

Very few people will think that Sri Lanka will win the match easily against Ireland. Bookie would give 1.06× to 1.11× odds for Sri Lanka if Ireland was too weak team. Ireland had also done well in the prior series of this T20 world cup. The performance of Sri Lankan player is very much unpredictable. So, it won't be a good decision to place bets on Sri Lanka by following the odds.

That is correct - Srilankan  performance is so unpredictable - last time they won the aisa cup against Pakistan and now we are assuming if they can win match Ireland or not.
A part from this there is a very important match coming up on Sunday - India Vs Pakistan - there are rain prediction but fans want a proper decision of the match.

New Zealand are now batting for 144 runs in 15 overs.  But they lost 2 wickets.  But I think runs and wickets are fine.  If New Zealand can play the whole match like this, 180 runs will not matter to them.  New Zealand started the game very well with some of their batting team.  If they can bowl well New Zealand will win this match very easily.

New Zealand have reached 200 runs. This is really good target. From the beginning New Zealand batting batting line-up did the best. Opener Fin Allen made a striking start scoring 42 runs of 16 balls. Convoy and Neesham ended the innings in a better way reaching 100 runs. Warner and Finch have started the innings for Australia. A good start will keep the match live.

Especially the New Zealand bowlers have to be praised.  New Zealand bowlers had a great performance.  New Zealand bowlers are able to suffocate the Australian batsmen very easily.  New Zealand's bowling was so strong.  We are all surprised by this.  The most surprising thing is a team like Australia.  Collected only 111 runs in 17.1 overs losing all wickets

Afghanistan is a much better team than Bangladesh in T20 format, if you look at Afghanistan's past performances and Bangladesh's, then you will understand how far Afghanistan has progressed in this format.

As far as I am concerned, the game was really low-scoring from my point of view. There is simply no way England can compete with a team like Afghanistan because they are too powerful. While Afghanistan is quite a competent team in the T20 format, they are no match for a quality team like England in the tournament. In particular, Sam Curran had a great night with the ball as he was able to take five wickets for only 10 runs in the 3.4 overs he bowled. As a result, England had no problem chasing that small target down, and they won the match by five wickets in hand.
