Chattogram Challengers team batsmen Mehdi Maroof and shuvagata Hom performed well. Mehdi Maruf scored 52 off 40 balls and Shuvagata Hom scored 54 off 29 balls. If the chattogram Challengers could have played a little better, they could have put up a bigger score

If the chattogram Challengers could have played a little better, they could have put up a bigger score

The match looks good for both teams right now. Sylhet Strikers need 63 from 41 balls (While I am writing). Najmul Hossain Shanto Scored a nice 60 from 44 balls. Ryan burl is the new batsman on the crease with Mushfiqur Rahim. Let's see if they can win the match for Sylhet. Chattogram Challengers need some wickets here and keep the pressure on if they want to win the match.

What a failure by the overconfident Indian side playing against Newzealand. I mean non of the Indian bowlers were able to restrict the Kiwi's batter and then we saw Arshdeep Singh giving away 51 runs in just 4 overs. I cannot forget the last over when he started with a no ball. I had that feeling that he would again start that no ball or wide ball thing.

Unfortunately Ishan the Kishan again failed! We as a country and the team management still believe he is the one. According to me, he is just a waste and the Indian team management should give him an opportunity to Shaw. I am confident if he gets that opportunity he would fail as he has shaky hands when playing in an international tournament.

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Not every loss is because of overconfidence.

Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition. NZ displayed better form and snatched the momentum from the 20th (Arshdeep) over of their inning. If that particular over was decent then we were looking at a subpar total. Also don't forget, this T-20 Bilateral series is the testing ground for the future.

Everybody knows that the pair of Ishan-Gill are walking on a tightrope in T-20 format, their stats are ugly but management is backing them if they fail regularly then the likes of Shaw, Hooda etc will replace them at top order for sure.

There are many differences between Chattagram Challengers and Sylhet Strikers cricket teams. chattogram Challengers are far behind in points. Sylhet Strikers are at number two in the points table and Chattogram Challengers are at number 6.  In today's 28th match, with Chittagong Challengers scoring 174, winning the match is very risky. Sylhet Strikers play very well. Sylhet Strikers don't seem to let go of the chattogram challenger very easily. Let's see what happens at the end of the game

Chittagong vs Sylhet

Chittagong vs Sylhet in today's Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match Chittagong won the toss and decided to bat.  Osman Khan as the opening batsman fell on the first ball of Chittagong's first over.  And 2 wickets fell in the 12th over.  Meanwhile, Mehdi Maruk scored a half century.  Chittagong Challengers collected 115 runs for 5 wickets in 14 overs.  But so far their wickets are falling more but the bowling performance is getting better.  But today most of the bowlers of Sylhet are performing well.  We have to wait till the end of the match for today's game update.

Chattogram Challengers have played 9 matches so far where they lost 7 matches and won 2 matches. Chattogram Challengers have won with only two teams Khulna Tigers and Dhaka Dominators. No win yet with ‍any top level team. They had enough runs in today's match but they failed. Despite scoring 174 runs, they lost to the opposition Sylhet Strikers. Two players scored well in today's match Shuvagata and Mehedi Maruf both scored fifties.

Anyone following Perth Scorchers  vs Sydney Sixers match today. It was an easy win for Perth Scorchers today as they chased down the target given by SS in 19th over with 9 balls to spare and 7 wickets in hand. I only know Steve smith in entire squad of both teams. Seems like in BBL not many foreign players are invited as most players are from Australia.

Overconfident? How? Giving young players more chances doesn't imply that they are automatically overconfident. Arsh screwed up once again along with Kishan and Gill, but they didn't look overconfident at all to me.

T-20 format is extremely volatile when compared to other formats which is why anything can happen no matter how strong the team is on paper.

thats true in T20 you can never predict that who will be the winner just like in football. We saw recently in football WC that teams like KSA and Tunisia beating top teams like Argentina and France. In T20 format your luck also matter a lot apart from your ability to win the game. Still there are matches left in this T20 series and there is still chance for India to bounce back.

while everyone thinks Babar Azam is not a good captain - Ricky Ponting believe Babar is the biggest of all time.
Pakistan economy and political situation is falling and so is the performance of the Pakistani cricket team - both women and men.

Not sure about the women's side, but the stats says the opposite for Pakistan's Men's Cricket Team. According to ESPNCricInfo, they have won 3 out of their last 4 ODI bilateral series played against Australia, West Indies and Netherlands (that one was recent defeat against New Zealand). They've performed pretty well in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup as well (lost in Final).

Pakistan economy is certainly not doing well as of now which may impact on other departments as well. I mean I am afraid about Sri Lanka cricket team like situation for Pakistan if their economy will not bounce back asap.

The current squad of Pakistan is not used of playing international cricket on there home grounds as for almost a decade Pakistan played all of its bilateral series in UAE. Last year teams like Australia, England and New Zealand agreed on playing bilateral series in Pakistan and it turned out to be terrible for Pakistan team. May be in coming home series, Pakistan performance go up after they get themselves updated about there home grounds.
Pakistan economic condition is also not good at the moment but I think it will repair itself in coming few months. PSL 2023 is starting from next month and this tells the story that PCB has necessary funds for this tournament.

Football is different and what happened is completely unexpected. Those are exceptions which won't happen later, because the teams have made themselves with an understanding. Earlier they made a miscalculation and lost, but the same mistake isn't made later. With T20 cricket, even a bowler performing unexpected with just rotating the bat at the final moments change the match.

Undoubtedly Pakistan is my favorite team, I have loved Pakistan ever since I learned to understand cricket.  However, currently the economic condition of Pakistan is not very good. PPP GDP per capita is 168th, GDP per capita is 177th. All in all, Pakistan will see a little less movement of foreign players in PSL 2023 this time. For example, the number of foreign players in the Bangladesh Premier League this year is less. Without the Pakistani players, this year's BPL would not have come together. In PSL 2023, Pakistanis should reduce the budget of foreign players.

India VS Newzealand

The second T20 match between India and Newzealand will be played today. The Kiwi team has already won the first match and will try to repeat the same performance in today's game. India struggled with both the bat and bowl. I am unsure whether there will be any changes today but I hope the team management gives Parthiv Patel a chance. The batting line up of the Kiwi team looks far better than the Indian team after the brilliant performance by Allen, Convey & Mitchell in the first T20. The Indian pacers would need to up their ante today as their bowling in the first T20 was a disaster especially Ashdeep Singh.

Considering the overall financial situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board may take a decision where the presence of foreign players may be limited and the drafts will be given higher priority to cheaper players. But if the board feels that some good foreign players are essential for this league then they can nominate them. A different picture has emerged in BPL in this session. I saw foreign players in some teams who seemed very unfamiliar. It is certain that Franchisees were not keen on spending much this season and it also showed how the games are feckless without foreign players.

The presence of foreign players is mandatory if you want to have a popular league. PSL is definitely not as big as IPL but still it has decent viewership and PCB must have worked out by now that how many foreign players will be playing PSL eighthedition.
Its better to have few foreign players who you can pay rather inviting too many foreign players and end up in payment disputes. So far PSL record in paying foreign player is good and no major dispute has been reported so far.

The presence of foreign players makes the league more popular, because it adds viewership out of the host nation. When it comes to IPL, the spending on promotion and the players auction is very big. This means most of the top players from different cricketing nations can be seen on IPL. This keeps the league high compared to the rest of the leagues conducted around. Even now two leagues have been going on, SA20 and Bangladesh Premier League which haven't got much of viewership out of the country.

Buying players entirely depend on their financial situation. Currently Pakistan is going through financial crisis so it is very difficult for them to serve the game at this time by spending a lot of money. They definitely value the financial aspect because of Inflation, the government of most countries is struggling to conduct the country normally. But they must try to present a quality league. Otherwise the reputation of the PSL league will decrease. Hopefully PSL will manage the league prominently this year too.

IPL is some next level league and you cannot compare the financial conditions of psl and ipl as there is a huge difference between them.
Recently IPL has done auctions for players and that was aomd huge event with big money for players but psl obviously cannot afford this kind of auctions.
Psl is developing with each passing year and may be in future years things will be better for them .

India W u-19s bowlers are all over England's batters. Their batting unit is looking clueless, at the start, they got an easy grouping and it seems to backfire here.

Having said that Indian team needs to tread carefully. England won the last match against Australia on the same ground after scoring just 99 runs. India can't afford to repeat the same mistake as Aussie.
