T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Popkon6]

Sunrisers are rising like crazy. They screwed my bet on KKR thanks to fantastic performances in literally every single department. Harry freaking Brook just proved why he is the new superstar in several formats of cricket.

KKR looks like they will lose by 100+ runs pretty easily at the rate at which they are going. Epic comeback SRH!

I think so too because Kolkata Knight Riders have lost 4 wickets which is basically at the end of the batting point. Couldn't score more runs in the power play, so the win is going to be assured for Sunrisers Hyderabad.  This match is never possible for KKR to win because bowling point of Hyderabad is very good. Kolkata Knight Riders were under a lot of pressure as two wickets were lost in the fourth over and one in the ninth over. KKR need 147 runs from 66 balls so far.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad set a target of 228 runs in 20 overs. I think Sunrisers Hyderabad will win the match easily with the runs scored by Sunrisers Hyderabad. But now Kolkata Knight Riders come to bat. 85 runs in 9.2 overs.  Did. But Kolkata Knight Riders lost 4 Shakti Shali wickets. The game looks like Kolkata Knight Riders are under a lot of pressure. I don't see any chance of Kolkata Knight Riders team winning today's match.

Today's 1st T20 match of New Zealand tour of Pakistan has been tossed. After winning the toss, Pakistan has decided to bowl. After a short time, New Zealand will come out to bat. If New Zealand can bat first and give a target of 190 runs, then they will win the match very easily.  Zealand. If Pakistan can perform well in bowling and keep New Zealand team batsmen under pressure, then New Zealand will not be able to score many runs in the match. The fans of both teams are waiting to see the match.

Pakistan have agreed to bat first and they have already played 10 overs and scored 91 runs out of which Pakistan have lost 2 wickets. Pakistan are playing well so far and they can target New Zealand up to 180 runs. But I don't think New Zealand can play that well and win the match by beating the target given by Pakistan. Because the New Zealand team does not have a better player than Pakistan so they are not able to compete with Pakistan

I don't see any chance of Kolkata Knight Riders team winning today's match.

Hyderabad scored the highest runs in this year's IPL. They set a huge target of 229 runs. And after giving such a huge target, I don't think they have any chance of defeat. Harry Brook was unbeaten scoring 100 runs off just 55 balls. Also, Marakram scored 50 runs off just 26 balls. Hyderabad collected 228 runs losing only 4 wickets. Kolkata collected 121 runs losing 5 wickets in 13 overs. Apart from Nitish Rana, I don't see any batsman from Kolkata playing well. Kolkata needs 108 runs from 42 balls to win. I do not see the possibility of winning.

Pakistan batting is really good today and again they are on their homeground,  saim ayub recently got out on 47 runs . Fakhar Zaman is still batting , the runrate Is very high bit we all know pitch conditions are totally for batsman so Newzealand batting can change the whole game.

Sunrisers are rising like crazy. They screwed my bet on KKR thanks to fantastic performances in literally every single department. Harry freaking Brook just proved why he is the new superstar in several formats of cricket.

Harry Brook finally made an impact in the IPL that helped Sunrisers Hyderabad score 228 runs and with the way things are going SRH should win the match.

KKR looks like they will lose by 100+ runs pretty easily at the rate at which they are going. Epic comeback SRH!

Nitish Rana is scoring freely and their hero in the last match Rinku Singh is still in the crease and the target is still an taunting task as they still need 108 runs off 42 balls and SRH needs to pick wickets if not even this match will become a nail biting one  .

Pakistan team has been able to collect great runs in 13 overs against New Zealand so far. Their run rate suggests that they are capable of scoring a maximum of 220-240 runs in 20 overs. But if the New Zealand bowlers can take wickets before then, it will not be possible.

Rizwan and Azam came into bat first but they did not play well.  But Fakhar Zaman and Ayub played very well  Though Ayub is now out but he scored 47 off 28 balls which is not bad. Fakhar Zaman is still playing hopefully he will focus more on the game and try to hit 4 and 6.  S. khan is out in just 3 balls. I. Ahmed is out for 0 off 1 ball. Now Wasim comes to bat let's see how he plays. But I think that Pakistan can give a target of 170-180 runs it has much possibility

Wickets and wickets now , Pakistan losing it'd momentum  Newzealand balling putting pressure on Pakistani batting now .
After 14 overs Pakistan collected 131 runs with loss of 6 wickets .

[JSRAW]

Probably game over for KKR but if you look at their batting card then it's almost a perfect chase.

Struggling batters got out without wasting many deliveries and those who were in good nick scored valuable runs with a healthy run rate. Using all batting resources is a good tactic in T-20.

Also, Harry Brook is back.

The match of KKR vs Hyderabad turned out to be packed. Kolkata needed 57 runs off 18 balls to win. However, it is very difficult. But Rinku Singh is still at the crease. And Rinku is a great batsman. He is unbeaten with 33 runs off 19 balls. If Hyderabad's bowlers can't bowl under control then there is still a chance for them to lose this match. Hyderabad's bowlers must try to bowl under control. Especially if they pick up Rinku's wicket then the match will be completely in Hyderabad's control. However, the match has now become very entertaining and competitive.

Matt Henry got a hat trick because of Chad Bowes outstanding catch on the boundary. Pakistan all out on 182 with one ball left to finish the innings. The boundary at Lahore stadium is quite short and that's the reason it's easy to hit boundaries here. New Zealand are without there main players but the way they fielded and bowled tells a lot about the strength of this young team. Pakistan plus point is that they have the main bowlers present to defend 182.

The match is over and Sunrises Hyderabad has won the match by 23 runs.

Overall a bad performance from them. In that match where Rinku performed absolutely unbelievable innings in the last hour, I did say that if this situation is created again, I don’t think KKR will be able to win. That’s exactly what happened here. KKR not just give as much as they can while bowling, and somehow think about chasing that down. This time KKR was unable to get anything going in the last over.

To be very honest, NZ coming without the main players, has added pressure on the Pakistan team as now they will have to win all the matches and series otherwise the world will say that Pakistan is beaten by the NZ B team.

I am also confident that Pakistan should defend this 182 runs but I see a lot of confidence and passion in the young NZ squad and the Pakistan team needs to remain serious and vigilant and should not take things for granted thinking they are playing against an inexperienced New Zealand Squad.

Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub scored 47 runs each but I did not see any score from the rest of the Pakistan team. The opening partnership between Babar and Rizwan also failed in this match.

[ZAINmalik75]

The opening partnership between Babar and Rizwan also failed in this match.

At early overs after early dismissal of Baber and Rizwan pair I taught the pakistan will unable to score 150, but spectacular partnership of Fakher and Young Saim Ayub help his team to absorb the pressure of early batter dismissal and recover Thier moral.
I am pretty confident that our class bowler will easily get these unexperienced young kiwi player, also batter done enough runs to defend for his bowler, but at the end it's T20 anything can possible.

Rinku Singh has been consistently contributing in the match. He also played a good innings in today's match. Scored 58 runs off 31 balls at a strike rate of 187.10. Nitish Rana gave a good innings in this match but unfortunately they could not win. Opposite team Sunrisers Hyderabad set a big target of 228  which is very difficult to overcome. Harry Brook who scored a century and remained unbeaten for this reason Kolkata Knight Riders had to lose the match today. Kolkata's bowlers are still defeated in this concern they pick up only four wickets.

Match is still under control of Pakistan thanks to balling attack who did well again .
Newzealand main batting order is already out plus required run rate is high so I think this match is definitely in favour of Pakistan.

Failure of Babar and Rizwan is not a new thing in Pakistan T20. They either fail to score runs or score runs with slow Strike rate.

Pakistan recently lost to Afghanistan in T20I series as they did an experiment of sending a team that has been made from recent PSL. So far in this match Pakistan have firm grip over the match as New Zealand need another 129 runs to win the contest with 7 wikcets in hand.

Pakistan need to focus on winning this series first as Pakistan also is struggling side specially in T20 format. Its very much clear that this NZ team will give tough time to Pakistan.

No doubt our bowlers really bowled well today and they are now struggling at 76 runs for 5 wickets down. I guess that this inexperienced New Zealand team should know by this time why their experienced senior team preferred to make excuses for security concerns and prefer not to play the bowling attack by Pakistan. 

How shameful and cruel of the Senior players by NZ, who themselves went to play IPL and leave their Jr team in Pakistan without providing them any security against our bowlers

Pakistan team is performing great. They did not allow New Zealand to advance much with their efficient bowling. For this reason New Zealand had to complete the game in just 15.3 overs. Playing against 182 runs, the New Zealand team lost all wickets for 94. It was the 1st T20 match of the series. But one thing I like is that both the top order batsmen were defeated but Pakistan won the match. I have often seen these two batsmen take their wickets easily while playing against big opponents, where the team was defeated. But today's different picture shows the progress of the Pakistan team.
