T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Rigon]

Both Pakistan and Zimbabwe have almost equal strength. Winning the toss and batting, the Zimbabwean team performed well in the beginning. But after a while when the wicket of Zimbabwe fell, the game turned around. Pakistan bowler Haris Rauf brought Zimbabwe's batting into slow motion in a flash. Zimbabwe made 130 for 8 in 20 overs, giving Pakistan a target of 131 runs. So far Pakistan has collected 71 runs by losing 3 wickets in 12 overs. There is intense tension in this match

Even if both the teams are equal in strength, the field of play will prove who will win and who will lose.  In this match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe today, Zimbabwe batted first and collected 130 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. Playing on the target of 130 runs, Pakistan has so far collected 102 runs in 17 overs in 6 wkts. Pakistan need 24 runs from 16 balls right now to win. Which is not too difficult for Pakistan team.

I can't believe what happened? What did Pakistan do? If they perform like this how they dream to play in the World Cup and deserve to the final? Most of the gamblers today already lost huge money. The condition of T20 cricket cannot be predicted until the last ball is delivered. As it is game anything can happen but Pakistani supporters don't expect such a situation.

The Zimbabwe win was an unlikely win. It is very sad for Pakistan that Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe yesterday. 130 runs was not a very difficult task for Pakistan, which was set by Zimbabwe yesterday by 130 runs. But they could not complete the target of 130 runs tomorrow. So what people expected about Pakistan has been completely failed. There were many gamblers who bet on Pakistan yesterday and all failed. Pakistan can never hope for World Cup with such weakness. Sikander Raja is man of the match tomorrow.

Pakistan's main issue is inconsistency. On one day they will defeat very strong teams such as Australia and New Zealand under hostile conditions, and on the next day they will get beaten by weak teams such as Zimbabwe. What happened in Asia Cup is the best example for this. Everyone thought that Pakistan was going to win the trophy. And in the end, they went down to a weak Sri Lankan side in the final. And this doesn't signal any sort of a resurgence for the Zimbabwean team. They are overdependent on Sikandar Raza, who is very close to retirement.

This World Cup became difficult for Pakistan. We have given Pakistan cricket a lot of encouragement. Many people compare Pakistan cricket with India. But we must move away from that comparison. Pakistan cannot be compared with India. It is not a big problem to play badly in a match. But whenever such performances continue, the weakness of the team is revealed. From Asia Cup to World Cup every where they have the same problem.

Ireland vs Afghanistan

The match have been abandoned without a ball. With this Ireland will move to the second position on the points table. The points shared between teams on account of rain will surely be a deciding factor. Afghanistan doesn't have much experience playing in Australia. Ireland have good track record playing in Australia. So, the match could've been more interesting if there is no rain.

Since the match is abandoned, Ireland is one the 2nd position in the points table for Group1 (they have one win against England). And for Afghanistan, this is the second match that has been washed out (first one was their match against New Zealand). And this is making things very difficult for the top countries such as Australia. At this point, Australia is at the bottom, since they lost the first match against NZ. If they lose one more match, then effectively they are out of contention for the semi-finals.

Melbourne gets highly rain affected around this time. And in rain interrupted matches the result may be different. Here luck gets the highest priority. Ireland would have been ahead in today's game if the game had been completed successfully. However, if you rely on luck without playing in the World Cup game, people may react negatively to that game.

This year's ICC T20 World Cup, rain is not leaving behind in any way. Often the match suffers due to rain. This rain brings benefits to some and misery to others. Now it's just a matter of waiting. The match will be played on the field by tossing only after the rain ends. It may also happen that the match is abandoned due to the decision of the umpire due to rain. In this 25th match Afghanistan Ireland both teams are ready to fight on the field with full strength. Now it's just a matter of waiting when the rain will stop and the match will start

there was a prediction of rain in Pakistan and India match too. But the match was won by India
I think this rain prediction creates so much uncertainty. And I am sure they might be affecting the mind and moral of the the players too.

First of all, the timeline was shifted because of reasons related to COVID pandemic. That is the reason why we are having the tournament in October-November. Ideally in Australia, the cricket season is December-February. But another reason why we are getting many more incidents of rain interruption is due to climate change. And so far ICC has ignored this issue. One solution would be to have stadiums with retractable roof. But due to cost concerns, none of the national boards have taken up this issue seriously.

International Cricket Council - has poor selection and poor management. They are all concerned about the rain issue, but no reserve match days have been scheduled. It was a total disaster in terms of planning and execution. An important tournament like World Cup, this should have reserve days in case of rainy days. This World Cup has provided so many thrilling matches, but the rain hasn't allowed it to do anything more. Feeling so sad, and disappointed that Afghanistan did not play a single game!

That is the valid point - they earn so much from the matched but they would not install a retractable roof. Most of the time I too think why they cant do it. Although it is an outdoor game but there are so many alternatives with the passage of time.

Today's match between Ireland and Afghanistan is also canceled due to rain.  This has led to a strange situation at the points table. Since Afghanistan's back 2 back matches were washed out because of rain, they stand last in the group. How unlucky for the Afghanistan team.
Ireland got one point from this match and the rain already help them with the previous game with England. This takes them to the number two team in the points table so far.
This is all because of mismanagement and no plans on how to deal with rain affected matches.

Biggest Upset in T20WC - 2022

First of all I would like to humbly say one word for Pakistan team OVER CONFIDENCE . Getting defeated by Zimbabwe is the most humiliating event happened to them after getting their win  snatched  by India.

This is hilarious in my opinion as the important player of the Zimbabwe side named Sikander Raza was not at all productive today. I was accepting Pakistan to win this match but as always they are dependent on the opening pair.

Getting into semifinals is no more easy for Pakistan after what happened today. This defeat should make the Pakistani side understand that all mighty will never help you unless you work on the basic.

What an amazing moment is for the Zimbabwe team. They were an underdog but after this win they have become a contender to win this tournament.

I would not say that the Pakistan team was overconfident, I think they were depressed because they were denied the victory the other day against India when the umpires awarded the match to India, and this hurt the motions of the players.
Now in order to qualify for the semi finals, they needed to win all their matches and this created an extra pressure on us in the match against Zimbabwe. Also sometimes Pakistan players does not play well against small teams and make small target difficult for them. It was a bad day for Pakistan cricket but then it is still better to lose than to win by cheating like the Indian team.

This is all because of mismanagement and no plans on how to deal with rain affected matches.

Another important match between Australia and England is about to start but it seems that this match is also delayed because of rain.
How unfortunate and frustrating it is for the players as well as the viewers.

Anyhow if you want to bet on this match, the odds are almost even for both teams. I hope the match does not end in a draw otherwise it will be a great contest.

ICC T20 World Cup Super 12.
 England vs Australia.2 minit left for the start of the 26th match. Heart contest will be played between these two teams. Both teams have strong batsmen and bowlers. I decided to bet on this match. But the final decision on which team to bet on today will be taken after the start of the game. Because both teams are important in today's match. Now just waiting for the game to start

The match is delayed, so do not place the bet now. Better let the match start and when you are confirmed that it will go on till the end, then you can place the bet. Odds may change throughout the game depending upon the situation of the match.

So true. Matches in a tournament like World Cup are getting abandoned due to rain, which is very disappointing for cricket fans. I think more important than the reserve day is to schedule the tournament by reviewing the host country's weather, and the ICC needs to think seriously about this. Every match of this year's World Cup is exciting. Last year in UAE toss was the main result. As a result, I did not get the main thrill of the match.

Sad news just received from the Melbourne cricket ground that this match is also abandon because of the rain. So we did not had a single bowl bowled today and both matches today were effected by the rain. This is very bad for this world cup as now you need to be lucky in order to have a match and get the important two points. No team can be sure to qualify because it can rain on any day and spoil the journey to the Semi finals.

Can Australian cricket board and ICC could setup a reserve day for remaining matches

With so many matches getting abandoned as a result of rain, it was a mistake from the part of the ICC not to have reserve days for Super-12 matches. The TV broadcasters and online streaming platforms are also unhappy because they are losing out on advertisement revenue. Till now, 4 out of the 14 matches have been abandoned due to rain in the Super-12 stage. Some more were curtailed as a result of rain. And looking at the weather prediction for the next few days, it is possible that even more matches will be abandoned.

The big question is can anything be changed now so that we do not get those matches abandoned? Or nothing can be changed now and we only just can admit or discuss these mistakes on the part of ICC.

They knew the weather conditions in Australia at this part of the year and still, they did not change the dates or venue. That's really strange on the part of a body as big as ICC.

You have a point ,a tournament like World Cup should be planned and organised properly with going through weather forecast of relevant country.  Now most of the matches are delayed and cancelled or unfinished due to rain,this is not fair for every team

You are correct. Everyone is seeing enough errors in the official management of this World Cup. Some teams are not given the main dressing room of the stadium. The quality of the food provided to the team is not good at all and  not having any extra game days is really disappointing. The cricket boards need to give a written complaint against it.

In my opinion it is better not to bet on these matches. Because the game hasn't started yet. Doubt whether or not, even if the game starts, it may be stopped due to rain and the winner will be dictated by the DSL, so betting should be done keeping in mind the weather.
