T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[kro55]

This is actually happening 3 or 4 leagues are going at a time BBL , LPL, BPL and SA league plus ODIS and regular series of different countries soo all players are playing somewhere and this is obvious players will opt to those leagues whose packages are good and they are paid good.
That's the main reason behind less international players in Bangladesh Premier League as they can't have big pay packages for players.

Well.. we need to look at the positives. As far as I can see, all of the senior Bangladeshi players are taking part in the BPL. No one has opted for the other leagues, such as the SA20, BBL and ILT20. BPL is being broadcasted around the world, including the main market of India (Fancode is livestreaming the matches). According to various sources, BPL has provided profits of $23 million since 2012. This is not a small amount and given the scope for future growth, there is a good chance that BCB can shrug off its dependence on the ICC, if they are able to further develop this league.

The honest thing is I know that the Bangladesh Premier League has generated a good amount of money so far. But I do not think a League is up to the standards when they cannot even provide an actual DRS system. They are just looking at the replay as DRS. That is bullshit.

Someone previously stated that the Bangladesh Premier League has made a good amount of money so far in almost all editions. The thing is we have not seen too many players or at least too many Bangladeshi players come forward through the Bangladesh Premier League. So my question is where does the money go? Bangladesh cricket board also has almost 900 crores BDT. And you are telling me that they cannot afford a good DRS system?

Ireland vs Zimbabwe 1st T20
Zimbabwe chose to field which went totally in their favour as they balls extremely good and put alt of pressure on Ireland and restricted their scores on 86 on 8 wickets in almost 17 overs . This is good performance by Zimbabwe and if they bat like this they can easily win this match.

Today's T20I match between Ireland vs Zimbabwe has been incredible which is beyond imagination.  It is like a mysterious incident that Ireland could not stand in front of Zimbabwe.  The team was under a lot of pressure after losing all the wickets before they could finish the entire match.  The Ireland team scored 114 runs and the game seemed to be a mystery to football lovers.  Meanwhile, Zimbabwe managed to win this match by 4 wickets.  And the victory went to Zimbabwe before they finished their entire match.

Ireland lost all wickets with just 4 balls to spare while Zimbabwe crossed their target with 12 balls to spare.So if Ireland could somehow score another 20 runs then Zimbabwe would have been under a lot of pressure.  M.Adair got out for just 2 runs so they fell behind a lot in this respect.  And on the other hand 2 more players got out for just 5 runs.  So they failed to score more runs.  On the other hand, Zimbabwe won very easily

Ross Adair and Stephen Doheny made their debut for Ireland and majority of their old players are retired i believe while Gary Ballance made his debut for Zimbabwe so it was an easy bet even the match started that Zimbabwe would win the match as they have their experienced squad with a couple of exceptions but the odds were not that great either.
A low scoring match but still Ireland was able to pick wickets and troubled Zimbabwe and 10 to 15 more runs they would have really struggled to cross the line.

I think if Ireland could somehow reach the 130/135 mark, I think they could have had a really good chance of winning the match. But obviously, that did not happen and it is also true that interns of the quality of the squad of both teams Zimbabwe were far better compared to Ireland. I hope that Ireland will be able to perform better in the next match. They will have to perform better in the next match and win because otherwise, Zimbabwe is going to be the winner of the series.

As I already posted BCB is having completely shit policy and political engineering killing their game and golden time for having more profit from this BPL because we all know Bangladesh is currently emerging economy and many big names and brands are doing investment here which can increase facilities and many other things related to sports, but they are down and out for taking positive change from this all which is not good.

DRS and many other things surely now needs to have good and fair results and this will also bring good intention from big players as well which needs to be done with this they also can increase their white ball pool which is necessity of the time because without this Bangladesh cricket will be suffered, and good investment will also increase their red ball game which is also important for the development of this game in this country.

BPL used to be the second most popular franchise cricket league after IPL. But BPL has lost it's fame and popularity for the selfish behaviour of BCB. They are trying to make maximum profit by running this league by spending the lowest amount. BCB hasn't used advanced technology in BPL. The players aren't happy with the umpires decision, BCB isn't happy for the players behavior.

After IPL no other leagues were visible to the world. The promotion and the money matters. Now the franchise have turned to be the owners of more teams and at some point they'll be playing the leagues organized on different countries. Now itself the names were similar with the cities changed. For each league the franchise buys specific players. Only thing positive about these leagues, young talents gets opportunities.

Bangladesh Cricket Board isn't happy with the players act, and it is responsible to provide the necessary resources to conduct the matches in a well organized manner.

Soon South Africa SA20 league will gain popularity than other leagues. This being the first season they're taking place in a silent way. Exactly the league is running for a month's time. The matches too seems interesting to watch than other leagues. I don't know whether it is the franchise attraction or the game from the players. In today's match it was Pretoria Capitals to win against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Score came close to 200 runs and we don't see much of scoring, at the end the target seems to be good in a combined way.

SA20 was the first league to implement the sub-franchise concept. They sold all their franchises to existing IPL franchises. The team jerseys are similar to what they have in the IPL and even some of the players are common. The aim is to attract viewers from India and so far it looks as if they are able to do that. But one obstacle that they may face is that the vast majority of the Indian fans doesn't identify with IPL franchises. Rather than that, they would identify with some of the star players and their loyalty shift when these players move from one team to another. However, there is chance that this scenario may change in the future.

South Africa has established a new franchise T20 league after crossing various obstacles. They wanted to start a CSA in 2017 but it didn't happen in the end. In 2018, Mzansi also failed at one stage and later MSL also had to be cancelled. But in the end they continue to strive to establish SA20 very well. But this time they will be successful, as all concerned have opined. This franchise league like IPL is trying to be successful.

The 39th match of Big Bash League started today. Batting first, Sydney Thunder set a target of 111 runs. I think it was not the right run to win. Sydney Thunder went all out in this match today. Perth Scorchers bowled brilliantly. Perth Scorchers said Andrew  Tye gave 27 runs in 4 overs and took 3 wickets. The runs Sydney Thunder scored I think they didn't get the right runs to win. Perth Scorchers will easily win this match today.

Perth Scorchers is in very stable position as they have made 32 runs in just 3 overs and no wicket gone , plus the target is too small and easy 111 runs given by Sydney thunders.  
Perth Scorchers did a great job in balling and now they are batting excellently , this is their win definitely.

Yes the game looks like Perth Scorchers will win the match today in 12 overs. Perth Scorchers started very well in batting. 70 runs in 8 overs. So far Perth Scorchers have not lost any wicket. Now let's see how well Sydney Thunder can perform in bowling.  .Looks like they can't do anything else.Perth Scorchers now need 41 runs from 71 balls to win.

Even now I don't like their idea of being heavily dependent on the Indian market for revenue and viewership. It needs to be seen whether the SA20 will gain much traction in India. One advantage is that JioCinema is streaming all the matches for free. So Indian fans don't need a cable TV connection to watch these matches (although the matches are being shown in Sports18 and Sports18HD as well). There is a limited potential within South Africa, because cricket is not one of the top-3 sports there unlike the case with Australia or England.

Chattogram Challengers vs Fortune Barishal, 9th Match
Chattogram Challengers is in the weakest position among the 7 teams in BPL. There are no familiar faces or good players. It must be said that the franchisee of this team was not willing to spend much money. There is a similar situation in the field as well. They seem to have no idea how to play the match with a target of 202 runs. Those who went to see the game may not go further. In their play may not have any of the characteristics of T20 game this is completely boring match.

The reality is India is dominating the cricket world either its ICC or thi SA franchise , they are controlling everything which obviously is because of their strong cricket boards and thier economic stability.
This is good that SA League Is developing because of Indian coverage but question is how they'll handle this in long run?

Either you do not understand economy or you never understood the business of cricket. Every cricket playing nation has started its own league and some country in the middle east that do not have thier proper cricket team want to mint money with it own league tournament. Do you think they would be able to beat IPL?

I mean in the Indian subcontinent most countries are struggling to feed thier citizens with food and then they compare the 5th largest economy and it's cricket board. LOL!

I guess Indian players are not playing in this league. I do not expect this SA tournament to get views from India or any other country. They might get some from SA. As you wrote that it is JIO that is streaming this tournament for free. I would like to inform you that JIO will be doing the same for IPL for all it's users, starting this season of IPL.

SA20 need to find acceptance among the local fans first. But that is going to be difficult, because cricket is not as popular as football or rugby within South Africa. That is the reason why the CSA want to derive most of the revenues from India. I don't know how viable this idea is. Other leagues such as the BBL, Hundred and PSL derive most of the revenues locally. Even the CPL has a strong domestic fan base. I am not sure whether the market in South Africa is large enough to support this. In that case they can consider expanding the league, by adding one team each from Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Bangladesh premier League (BPL) Khulna Tigers Vs Rangpur Riders today's T20 game Khulna won the toss and decided to bat. They lost 8 wickets and the team was under a lot of pressure and could not collect a single run.  Because Khulna could not withstand much pressure due to Rangpur being good.  Mainly because Tamim got the opening batsman out and Sabbir got out for a very short run.  However, in today's match, Comilla could not take place in the hearts of the cricket audience.  Khulna cannot survive in front of Rangpur. After the first innings is over, we will be able to understand the batting performance of Rangpur which team will be in the current form.

In today's match between Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders, the number of runs is very low from the first batting side. Rangpur Riders will be ahead in this low scoring match. However, it is difficult to select which team will do better as it is franchise tournament. However Rangpur Riders have the ability to chase 130. Fortune Barishal vs Chattogram Challengers in the first match of the day was high scoring but Chattogram Challengers trailed early in that game despite having enough wickets. The current match reflects completely different from the previous one.

Ambani is on road to breaking every competitor's back, similar to what he did in the telecom industry. Only the strong will survive and the consumer is the real winner.

2023 IPL is also free to watch. I bet Disney/Hotstar must be kicking themselves for missing out on the IPL OTT rights.
