T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[LordShanken]

T20 World Cup today 38th match Afghanistan vs Australia match is held in Australia ground. The winner of this match was the team of Australia who played the best in their field and defeated Afghanistan. Of course Australia is a strong team compared to Afghanistan but Afghanistan players did not perform very well today. But Afghanistan's chances of winning were high with Australia but unfortunately for Afghanistan team they could not win. Australia lost the match by 4 runs and their group points dropped significantly. Today's match between Afghanistan and Australia was very contested. Australia vs Afghanistan score in today's match.

Australia should not be happy with their performance when they have won the match with so much effort in their own ground. They should have won the match by a big margin. But congratulations to Afghanistan, they gave us a great fight. They finally taught us how to fight. Rashid Khan's performance in particular impressed everyone.

Australia cricket match won today between two teams Afghanistan and Australia. Because Afghanistan did not perform well today. Losing Afghanistan by just a few runs has been Afghanistan batting will need to show better performance as Australia is a strong team which will be difficult for Afghanistan to beat. Therefore, if Australia wants to resist Afghanistan, then Afghanistan should play stronger.

Australia is no longer the team we had two decades back. The only legendary player in their squad right now is Steve Smith, and he is not very suitable for limited overs cricket. Spin department is the worst performing component for Australia. Once they had legends such as Warne and MacGill. Now they have average players such as Zampa and Agar. And pace bowling is only slightly better. After the retirement of Mitchell Johsnson, they failed to find a world class fast bowler. And it is surprising, because they have one of the fastest and bounciest grounds in the world (WACA, Perth).

The odds favor Australia but believe me the match is not as easy for Australia as the odds suggest.

Bookie never gives priority to the team like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ireland, etc who's history isn't good in T20I. Betting odds remains in favour of the strong team by ignoring the live situation of the game. Those teams lose most of the matches despite staying ahead in the first half of the match. Anyway, New Zealand has qualified for semi-finals from group 1. I think England will be the second qualified team from group 1 by winning against Sri Lanka easily.

Indeed, Bangladesh and Afghanistan were similarly defeated. Both teams tried hard but ultimately lost. But Bangladesh did not get any advantage, ICC gave all the advantage to India, it really disappointed everyone. A kind of bias to say. This kind of behavior is not what civilized cricket lovers expect, and again from the ICC.

Well, you can't blame bookies or fans for not backing these teams against big boys, no one can predict the upsets in T-20.

The best smaller team do is compete and put up occasionally good fights, hate to use the term "small team" for Bangladesh tho.

Lankans are kingmakers in Group 1. I believe they won't be pushovers in the next encounter.

Australia breathed a sigh of relief with a 4-run win over Afghanistan. Today's win was a very important one for Australia. By winning this match, Australia secured a partial place in the semi-finals. This match was a very exciting match. Both teams fought fiercely to win. Australia team performed well. I am impressed by the match

How do you think this win by a low margin by Australia is a sign of relief for them? I see their chances are very slim after this narrow win as they are unable to take their run rate above England. The only chance for Australia to quality now is an Upset where Sri lanka team defeats the in form England team. The host nation will be looking at this match result to see if they can qualify for the next round or not.

Also bear in mind that NZ have already qualified in this group as they had the highest run rate and if England, Australia, and New Zealand end up on equal points, New Zealand's position in semi finals is already confirmed.

Now cricket not need of any civilization because we are already on our peak and things looking positive for future with franchise cricket is going to be good for near future as right now this is best source of development for all small and big countries right now in this world cup we have two shocking results as Australia and Pakistan both are out of the last four race and teams like New Zealand and South Africa are fighting from front which is good.

Never expect any positive thing from ICC for the development of this game because they are fixed mindset which are having deep pockets, and they are filled by IPL, so they are happily engaged and living good life as we have at the end of Hindi movies Australia is surely on decline but keep thing in mind they never take long time they can fight back any time in near future.

Newzealand are into the semifinals of this T20WC and as of my understanding South Africa willl get through. The problem here was for Australia and according to the NRR they have -0.173 that means they will not qualify considering the NRR of England which is + 0.547. What England needs to do is win tomorrow's match which is against  Srilanka.

Unfortunately it would not be easy for the English to win that match. Srilanka is struggling with its bowling attack. If they win tomorrow then the permutation & combination will change drastically. I think they shouldn't be worried as they have a good indepth batting line-up and their bowlers have been consistent lately.

Now it's all on weather if we have complete match then most chances we will be able to have England in semifinal and if case of rain then surely Australia could be beneficiary of this all because in last five matches England never lost against Sri Lanka and as we are watching Sri Lankan are struggling in Australia they have no fair chance to win this match and England will be ended with second in this group and in last four they are going to face India which could be interesting match even I am favoring to India which is currently having good results in last few matches, and they are capable of winning this trophy without any big challenge even we have two good teams which are also having good results in last few matches, but quality is favoring India.

This is how Australia looks today. The team is completely dependent over Sri Lanka for their qualification into the semifinals. England looks strong and I beleive they'll keep the winning to reach the semifinals.

ICC has always extended more cooperation with India. And this isn't the first time we've seen it. We have seen this in the past as well. And now we are used to it. According to ICC rules, 5 runs are fined for fake fielding (As far as I know). Bangladesh will win this match if India is now penalized by 5 runs. Secondly, I am not a cricket expert. But many experts say the ground was not fit for the game. The match should have started a little later. The play was restarted essentially to give India a chance. However, Bangladesh players played well. And even though they didn't win this match, I think everyone liked the gameplay of the Bangladesh team in this match.

We can debate about ICC's bias towards India for the next two months, or even the next two years. But nothing is going to change. ICC is not FIFA, FIH or FIBA to remain neutrality instead of favoring any single country. First of all, the ICC is headed by a businessmen (Greg Barclay) and this has been the norm ever since that organization was founded. And the BCCI for most part was also headed by either politicians or businessmen. Why should these people prioritize game over money? On the first part they have no love for cricket. Their love is only towards money.

It looks like ICC is controlled and managed by BCCI ,like Indian dominate in game even in umpire decisions and instructing umpires about no balls ny Virat Kohli is strange.  All of us can see how Virat told umpire about no ball in match against Pakistan and yesterday same thing happened against Bangladesh, so let's just notice everything and enjoy this World Cup.

India has fixed many matched - after PK match and Bangldesh match it is confimred now

For me Aussie always look in great - in every match but the confirmation of being in final is not cleared yet.
But the incident reveal that India is going to take the lead.

Another exciting game will be held today where Sri Lanka and England will face each other. Sri Lanka have nothing to lose as they have already been eliminated but Australia is waiting for their win. If Sri Lanka can win simultaneously Australia also win in this stage.

[Dubaian]

England will face Sri Lanka in the 39th T20 match of the T20 World Cup 2022. SL vs ENG match will be held in Sydney. Today's match will be a very good match as Sri Lanka is playing very well at the moment and England is a very strong team and they are also playing very well in the field. It will be a match between two teams so we will enjoy this game. England has a chance to win this Sri Lanka vs England match but Sri Lanka will not give up so easily with England. So today's game is not clear which team can win both team players can perform very well so we will see today's match which team can win.

[Sithara007]

Even if they win today, Sri Lanka will not be able to qualify for the semi-finals. They have 4 points from 4 matches till now, and a win will take them to 6 points from 5 matches. Australia and New Zealand on the other hand are having 7 points each. England will be up to 7 points if they win today. If that happens, then run rate will be taken in to account. New Zealand has the best run rate for any team in the Group 1. England's NRR is slightly better than that of Australia, and that would mean that they would also secure the semi-final slot.

Melbourne Stars Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women, 30th Match, Adelaide Strikers Women won the toss and elected to bowl. Now Melbourne Stars Women are batting. They scored 45 runs in 10 overs and lost 3 wickets. Lauren Winfield-Hill scored 10 off 17 balls in this match.  Run out. Jemimah Rodrigues she scored 15 off 17 balls. I think they didn't score too many runs.

an okie performance by both the team - till now
Not much people are interested in this match - women teams also need a bit of recognition and admiration.

Whether Australia will make it to the Semi finals depends on Sri Lanka. England is playing relatively well while Sri Lanka is also good. However, Sri Lanka is lagging behind in this tournament. Australia is also in quite confusion. If England can beat Sri Lanka, it will certainly not be good news for Australia. NRR is important issue. The run rate of the match has now become quite effective. Who can win the final match between the two teams? ‍Who one will be lucky in this match? These are the common questions of the spectators regarding the today's match.

The equation is very simple now. New Zealand has qualified already as they have the highest run rate. Today's final group one match result will determine who will be the 2nd team to qualify from this group.

There is simple two scenarios and now the run rate does not matter.

1- If England wins, the England reaches the semi finals (Australia is eliminated)

2- If England loses, Australia will qualify for the semi finals (England is eliminated)

[Patrol69]

Today there is a Group A match between England vs Sri Lanka. The match that the entire cricket world is looking forward to. If England win this match today, England and New Zealand will book their tickets for the semi-finals. And if for some reason the match was postponed due to rain or England to Sri Lanka If they lose, England will have to withdraw from this tournament. Because already if we look at the point table then we can see that the Australian cricket team is in the second position of the point table with 7 points after playing five matches. Whereas England are third in the table with 5 after four match of play. However, in terms of run rate, England cricket team is ahead of Australia All in all, if England are going to play the semi-finals, they must win this match today. Otherwise, Australia and New Zealand will qualify for the semi-finals from the group A
