T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Hallroom]

I like this victory of Bangladesh very much. Because Bangladesh has won today after many competitions.  Ireland performed very poorly in this target of 102 runs because they are like toys to the Bangladesh bowlers.  Ireland's run rate was very good at the beginning of their batting if they could have played like that, Ireland would have won. But they were all dismissed in Taskin's over and could not stay on the field.

shakib's 5 runs Turning point of the match

The start and end of Bangladesh's innings was great, when Bangladesh scored 207 runs in 19.2 overs, the game was stopped due to rain. But the DLS system gave Ireland a target of 103 runs in 8 overs. Ireland got off to a great start but midway through, Ireland stopped their run and ended up losing by 22 runs. But this match had a turning point. Shakib Al Hasan's 5-run over in the sixth over changed the entire momentum of this match. Five runs in that match and Taskin Ahmed's 4 wickets were enough to defeat Ireland in today's match.
What do you think about the result of this match?

Bangladesh again won the match against Ireland they have given a pretty good target which Ireland failed to chase.
Bangladesh have shown brilliant performances and improvements in different formats .

Today's match of Bangladesh was a great victory. However, the Ireland captain took Bangladesh very lightly before the match started. But Bangladesh have performed extremely well at their home ground at present. In today's match Bangladesh scored 207 runs in 19 overs 2 balls. And later the match was suspended for some time due to rain and the rain did not stop for some time, DLS method gave Ireland a target of 103 runs in 8 overs. Ireland went into bat first and the run rate was increasing but Taskin Ahmed took four wickets to reduce Ireland's run rate. If Ireland could have survived today's match then they would not have lost to Bangladesh.

shakib's 5 runs Turning point of the match

What do you think about the result of this match?

No, there are a few turning points in today's game that you can never skip. For your information I have presented the entire scoreboard. You check the above scoreboard and select the turning point.

Over1- 4, WD, 0,4,4,1,4(18 runs) by Nasum Ahmed
Over2- L1,4,0,L4,4,1(14runs) Mustafizur Rahman
Over3- 0,0,0,W,1,4(5runs) Hasan Mahmud (Turning point)
Over4- w,2,1,w,w,4(7runs) Taskin Ahmed (Turning point)
Over5- 4, WD,4,1,1,4,L1(16 runs) Hasan Mahmud
Over6- 1,0,0,0,4,0(5runs) Shakib (Turning point)
Over7- 1,2,2,1,0,1(7 runs) Mustafizur Rahman
Over8- W, 0,1,2,N,4,1(9 runs) Taskin Ahmed

Hasan Mahmood's 3rd over wicket for 5 runs could be a turning point for this match.
Taskin Ahmed's 3 wicket haul of 7 runs in the fourth over was really the turning point for this match. You can't rule this out as a turning point for this match.
But Shakib's 6th over was a real turning point for the match despite taking no wickets for just five runs. Shakib came in as a spinner and changed the pace of the match with just five runs.

Pakistan V Afghanistan

After humiliating defeats in the first two matches against Afghanistan, Pakistan will face off in the third match. And in today's match, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan has won the toss and decided to field. This is the last match of the series. In the first two matches, we saw terrible batting from Pakistan. Although the performance of the bowlers was good enough, Pakistan team was defeated due to bad performance. It is a shame for Pakistan to lose all the matches in the series against Afghanistan.

Hopefully, Pakistan's batsmen have learned from the mistakes of the first two matches. They will bat carefully in today's match and Descent will be able to provide a target. But I think the Afghanistan team will win today's match too.

Pakistan's batting today is slightly better than the first two matches. But they lost the wicket of Mohammed Haris by just 3 runs. And they lost the second wicket by 28 runs. At the end of 7 overs, Pakistan collected 62 runs. And Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique are batting well. If this pair can play well then Pakistan is expected to be able to give a big target today. Pakistan will lose today if they give a target of less than 150 in today's match. So batsmen should bat with responsibility. Pakistan will definitely not want to lose all the matches in the T20 series against a team like Afghanistan.

Pakistan V Afghanistan

Again Afghanistan won the toss and elect to bowl first and allow Pakistan to build target for them. I think Afghanistan love to chase target rather than defending target and due to that reason they select bowl first in entire t20 series matches. Now it's a tough exam for Pakistani young talent because they already lose his previous two matches and losing this match will cut Thier position from nation squad for upcoming series with newZealand.
Currently Pakistan has lose Thier top order batters by just scoring 76 in 9th over which is not a bad runs, but now the main necessary thing for Pakistan is to keep wicket in hand which will give them extra confident to hit power shit in last overs.

[DanWalker]

After winning 3-0 margin against England in their T20I series, Bangladesh look confidence to carry their winning momentum forward on their home turf. The hosts secured a win by 22 runs [DLS] in the first T20I over Ireland, credit goes to their excellent bowling performance. Taskin Ahmed proved his class in this match as well, contributing to the team's success. With a convincing win, Bangladesh take a 1-0 lead in the series. Despite a rain interruption during the match, Bangladesh's bowlers left no room for Ireland's batters to dominate with the bat. Congratulations to the Bangladesh cricket team for their outstanding performance!

Well, this is performing really well. Today they got a very good win against Ireland. Bangladesh looks to be improving and learning from their mistakes. I am actually glad that Bangladesh is finally understanding that the newer generation will have to adapt to the fast pace of cricket. I believe that's what they are trying to do now.
The performance of Bangladesh has certainly been very good in the recent series. I hope they keep improving like this.

Batting today is slightly better then first two matches as Pakistan are 87 after completion of 10 overs. Its a big game for Afghanistan as they will try to whitewash Pakistan while Pakistan will try to avoid further humiliation. Wise move by Shadab to drop Azam khan as there is already a wicketkeeper batsmen in the form of Muhammad Haris. Azam khan might be legend in leagues but to play international cricket he need to pay attention to his fitness. His wicketkeeping behind the wickets in beyond standards of international cricket.

Finally Pakistan performed good and gave a target of 182 runs on loss of 7 wickets,  young boy saim ayub played a good innings of 49 runs and Iftikhar Ahmed contributed his part .
Now Afghanistan has to bat good to win this one and to whitewash Pakistan in this innings.

Coming into the third T20 match against Afghanistan, Pakistan might have realized that they had played badly in the previous two matches. Because they managed to get a good score against Afghanistan today. As a team, Pakistan managed to score 182 runs at the end of 20 overs. The reason why I say team performance is because no one significantly scored big like that. But all together 182 runs can be called a fighting score for T20 cricket. 

However, even though Pakistan has collected 182 runs, Afghanistan is batting economically in the target of 183 runs.  So far, Afghanistan's total is 34-0 (4.1). If wickets fail to fall quickly, there is a possibility that Pakistan will lose this match as well

Pakistan to save themselves from losing this match has to take wickets quickly and don't let them build any partnership  because Afghanistan has really talented and experienced batsman who can chase this target easily .
Muhammad Nabi , Ibrahim Zadran  and many more.

MI continues to dominate in both the men and female editions of the IPL which is makes the Ambanis even richer. MIW performed well in all departments against DC which got outplayed except for that Shafali Verma decision.

Cricket 3rd umpires are some of the worst decision makers among all sports and I doubt this will ever change.

Maybe Pakistan could not accept accept the white wash by Afghanistan. If Afghanistan could have won today's match, it would have been a good gift for Pakistan's cricket player selectors. But Afghanistan cricket might miss that opportunity because the target is big. Moreover, the fall of Afghanistan's wickets at the beginning is making the match more difficult for them. Afghanistan have now managed to score 39 runs after losing 3 wickets. But it seems that they will not be able to win against Pakistan in today's match. Mohammad Haris was unfortunate for Pakistan in this series.

Pakistan have played well and scored 182 runs which is a good target and Afghanistan won't reach the target. Pakistan made a good comeback, but it is too late. Afghanistan have scored 71/5 in 11 overs and need another 111 runs which isn't possible from Afghanistan. Anyhow rhe series is already won by Afghanistan. This series will be a big learning for Pakistan to make it better in the upcoming matches.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan

Pakistan has already lost the series. They are now just playing to salvage something from this series. Pakistan has certainly put on a good score on the board in this match. Afghanistan also seems to be having some problems chasing that.

Right now Afghanistan is batting. As I was writing this, Afghanistan lost 3 wickets for two runs. It was 71/3 and now it is 73/6. And they also have Zadran retired hurt. Really don't think that they will be able to win. Seems to be like it is going to be a win for Pakistan.

The third T20 is a win for Pakistan. As Afghanistan ended the innings at 116 runs, it was a big win for Pakistan by 66 runs. Ihsanullah and Shadab Khan bowled well taking 3 wickets each. Mohammad Nabi rewarded the player of the match. Hope the winning of the match will help them build the team even better. Afghanistan is performing really good, they've learnt to perform according to the target and match situation. The failure is while chasing big target, the players just build pressure and carries it around which needs to be changed.

[noormcs5]

I am actually not opposed to this idea. They can of course try to bring the young team and see how they are performing. But the way they performed in the last match was not satisfactory at all. Pakistan will have to improve their performance.

Of Course for PAkistan - this series is not very important - and Afghanistan is not a very strong team
So they thought they may test new players - and find some hidden talent before the world cup. But the plan is failing. But this is okie.

Don't give excuses that this series is not important for Pakistan and hence they are losing this one. The fact is that Pakistan has lost the series against Afghanistan and this is written in the books of cricket history.

The Pakistan batsmen again failed and only Imad Wasim made 64 runs due to which Pakistan managed to reach 13o runs but they were unable to defend it. The match went down to the last over and in the 19th over Naseem Shah gave away 17 runs and the match tilted in favor of Afghanistan.

Well said, there shouldn't be any excuses. Just scoring 130 runs, once after playing PSL. This will surely be controversial, because the PSL is aimed at improvement of the players performance on international cricket. The reality is completely upside down, they perform well for the franchise and they weren't able to perform good for the nation. They should've leveled the series and even if they've lost the third T20 this could've never been this bad.

Well, the PSL has nothing to do with the performance of the Pakistan cricket team against Afghanistan. The reason is that the big players who played in PSL have been rested in this series and that is the major cause of this poor performance from them. They wanted to test all the new players at once and caused the series loss to them.

Anyway Pakistan did win the 3rd and the last T20 match, but the series had been lost already.

shakib's 5 runs Turning point of the match

The start and end of Bangladesh's innings was great, when Bangladesh scored 207 runs in 19.2 overs, the game was stopped due to rain. But the DLS system gave Ireland a target of 103 runs in 8 overs. Ireland got off to a great start but midway through, Ireland stopped their run and ended up losing by 22 runs. But this match had a turning point. Shakib Al Hasan's 5-run over in the sixth over changed the entire momentum of this match. Five runs in that match and Taskin Ahmed's 4 wickets were enough to defeat Ireland in today's match.
What do you think about the result of this match?

If this game was played in 20 overs,Bangladesh could have won by more runs.Bangladesh has performed well now. Ireland started well but had a mountain of runs ahead of them.So they started losing Uket one after another under the pressure of runs.A target of 104 runs in 8 overs is really difficult to change.

The target was always difficult for the Ireland to chase. Bangladesh scored 207 runs in their 20 overs. So even if the match was not shortened, still Ireland would not have managed to score these runs. Bangladesh had an upper hand on this match too. Litton Das, Rony Talukdar,   Shamim and everyone else contributed for Bangladesh to make this big score.
The second match between these two teams will be played tomorrow at Chattogram and i hope the rain does not affect that match and we see a full 20 overs game.
