T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Insanity]

Pakistan is having the upper hand in the second semi-final so far. They have made 49/2 after 6.3 overs. Rohail Nazir just got out to Fareed Ahmad, but Omair Yousuf is still there with an unbeaten 23. The run-rate is close to 8 per over, which looks OK given the ground conditions. This is the same pitch where Bangladesh got bowled out for just 96 runs a few hours ago. And Pakistan has a strong middle and lower order for this match. Qasim Akram, Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali are yet to bat and they also have Arafat Minhas down the order.

Poor performance from Pakistan team. Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bowl. Pakistan started good, soon after the fall of Yousuf wickets started to fall off and by the 18^th over lost every wicket scoring 115 runs. Among that 17 runs have come out of extras, look how bad the team had performed. Afghanistan have begun the chase scoring 9 runs in a over and there is more chances for Afghanistan to win the match as it is low target. In the first semi final India won the match easily and the final match is going to be India vs Afghanistan.

How can you say with 100% certainty that the final match will be between Afghanistan and India. The second innings of the second semi-final match between Afghanistan and Pakistan has just started.  With the whole of the game still to go, there is no telling which way this innings will turn. But it has to be accepted that the start of Afghanistan's batting is good. In response to Pakistan team's 115 runs, Afghanistan team has collected 35 runs after playing four overs and losing one wicket. But I think Pakistan team has a chance to win this match. Because the Pakistan team is much stronger than the Afghanistan team.115 runs is enough for Pakistan to win the match against Afghanistan team. Now if the Pakistan bowlers, can put the pressure on the Afghanistan batsmen hard. Then your 100% sure fortune calculation will become uncertain

Of course bad played Pakistan team against Afghanistan in Semi final of Asian Games. Just only opener batsman Omair Yousaf little bit perform well and made 24 runs only and other players made less then his runs and then got all out. At last, Pakistan give a target of 115 runs and 2 overs were left for play and every single players got out and I did not expect such performance from Pakistan especially in semi final match. Afghanistan team is in full form and at this time, they defend nearly half target of Pakistan in 72 balls just loss 3 batsman. They have huge chance getting victory in semi final. AFG need only 45 runs in 8 overs If they play this match comfortably, they can easily win it.

In India vs Bangladesh team semi-final match, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Varma performed brilliantly, India won by 9 wickets against Bangladesh. Batting first after losing the toss, Bangladesh scored 96 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. Such low scoring matches are really boring. Bangladesh team played an unexpected game in the semi-final match. As a result of the innings of 96 runs, the players of the Bangladesh team have come under criticism. On the other hand, Bangladesh's opponent team, India, lost one wicket at the start of the game, but the duo of Gaikwad and Tilak Varma won the match in 9.2 overs with excellent batting. With the victory against the Bangladesh team, India secured the place to play the final match

In the Asian Games, India played like a boy against Bangladesh. I might not have thought that Bangladesh would perform so badly against India. It was also unexpected that Bangladesh would be defeated so badly as India had definitely progressed to the semi-finals of the Asian Games. 

96 runs in 20 overs I think it's a shameful collection for Bangladesh. If several players have national team experience and score only 96 runs in 20 overs, that too against India, fielding the second innings is nothing but a waste of time. However, in the first semi-final match, India did not waste much time to win this match. They secured an easy win by nine wickets in just nine overs to confirm the final of the Asian Games.

[Sithara007]

Amazing performance from Afghanistan. Now they are assured of either a gold or a silver medal. Pakistan sent a second-string side to Asian Games, but the situation with Afghanistan wasn't that better either. Apart from a few players such as Noor Ali Zadran, Mohammad Shahzad and Gulbadin Naib, they also had an inexperienced squad. This is more like a revenge for Afghanistan, for the defeats they suffered against Pakistan during the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Asia Cup. Anyway, the final match will be played tomorrow, between India and Afghanistan.

Now if the Pakistan bowlers, can put the pressure on the Afghanistan batsmen hard. Then your 100% sure fortune calculation will become uncertain

Now you could've understood why the prediction is in favour of Afghanistan to win the match even before the start of the innings from Afghanistan. Pakistan had winning chance, but with a score of 115 runs is really difficult. Afghanistan too struggled to reach the target as they lost 6 wickets and finally won the match in 18 overs. If Pakistan had scored between 150-160 runs, it could've been real pressure and Pakistan would've got quick wickets at the start of the innings. Pakistan was the team predicted to reach the finals and now it is Afghanistan vs India. Bangladesh had good luck winning against Malaysia and in the semi-final against India it didn't work for them. Tomorrow we have got the final match, and lets wait for the god medal winner.

For those who are interested in associate cricket, the West Africa T20I Trophy is ongoing at Lagos in Nigeria. A total of 4 teams are participating - Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Rwanda. A total of 20 matches will be played between 4th October and 15th October, and all the matches will be broadcasted live on Fancode app. At this point, Nigeria is leading with 2 wins from 2 matches, while Ghana is close behind with 2 points. A watched highlights from some of the completed matches, and I was impressed with the fact that all the players are natives. 

Did you see the match between Rwanda and Ghana? It was really incredible. The match was tied. I believe it was decided in the end by a super over. I am just saying that based on the results that I saw. I was unable to see the match live. But I actually thought at first that the target was not so big. So the chase is probably going to be easier. That definitely didn't happen. In the end, Ghana was able to win this match.

I saw the last over of the match and the super-over live on Fancode. The quality of the stream was not that great, so I was not very comfortable. That said, I was quite impressed with the quality of the game. It was a very close match, and in the end Ghana prevailed as they performed well under pressure. Rwanda just needed 6 runs to win in the super-over. But the Ghana spinner bowled in a very tight line and they lose all their wickets before they could score the necessary runs. Rwanda and Sierra Leone are now at the bottom of the table, with zero points.

The one thing I want to see from this competition is these teams performing really well. Otherwise, It is going to be broadcasted like this, with trash quality and people won't even care about it. I want them to score at least 150/160 on average in every inning. Probably then there will attract a lot of people to watch them play. Otherwise, I do not see them actually making things interesting. Of course, the last match was really great. The finish was also good.

And I think anyone is going to agree that the last match was pretty competitive. But still how many people saw that match? Very few if I am not wrong. All I am saying is that the popularity needs to increase otherwise no one is going to care about it.

Anyway, the final match will be played tomorrow, between India and Afghanistan. 

The performance was good from Afghanistan, but I still think that it was too close for comfort for them. They keep losing wickets at important times. In the end, if it was not a good performance from Naib, otherwise it was going to be a big problem for them.  They are lucky that he was in the middle till the end and made sure that Afghanistan won the match.

Otherwise, Afghanistan could have very easily lost all the wickets. But I have to say both of the teams have given away too many extras in this match.  If Afghanistan didn’t give away the 17 extras, Pakistan wouldn't have even been able to score a hundred. And if Pakistan didn’t give away 15 extras, Afghanistan would have definitely found it harder to win.

Today India and Bangladesh face each other in the Asian Games In this match, Bangladesh batted first and collected only 96 runs which seemed too low for India.So India went into batting and reached the target of winning with just one wicket.I have seen that every cricket team is improving day by day but Bangladesh team has never improved.That's because they don't play well in any tournament be it small tournament or big tournament they consistently show their poor performance to the audience.It is not desirable at all.

The Semi Final match of India vs Bangladesh team has already started.Bangladesh team came out to bat first and set a target of 96 runs in 20 overs.I think the runs scored by Bangladesh are very few runs.India team has performed very well in the bowling line for which Bangladesh team  The batsman was under a lot of pressure. However, if the Bangladesh team could have given a target of 150 runs in this match, there would have been a chance for the Bangladesh team to win. The Bangladesh team had a very poor performance in batting and bowling.

A formidable 9 wicket win over Bangladesh and India are through to the Final. Bangladesh Posted a Low Total only 96/9 in 20 Overs. India batters Tilak Varma Scored 55* in 26 balls and Ruturaj Gaikwad 40* knock it out of the park to chase Bangladesh target of 97 in 9.2 overs.

The final is Match is between Afghanistan and India.

The Asian Games semi-final match between Bangladesh vs India was a remarkable game. The Bangladesh team lost badly from the semi-final in the match, they scored only 96 runs in 20 overs which was very less and lost all the wickets. But India went into bat and lost just 1 wicket to win by 9 wickets and seal the semi-final to the final. India won the match against Bangladesh by 97 runs in 9.2 overs and qualified for the final.

Similarly, in the match between Afghanistan vs Pakistan, Pakistan lost badly against Afghanistan. Where Pakistan team was bowled out for 115 runs and later when Afghanistan batted I they joined for 4 wickets. Between these two matches, most predicted that Pakistan would go from the semi-finals to the final, but it turned out to be the complete opposite. Pakistan were eliminated from the semi-finals and Afghanistan advanced to the final against India in the match. Playoff match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is going to be played today, but unfortunately the toss in the match has been delayed due to rain, maybe the game can be started once the rain clears.

[Cheema02]

Pakistan is having the upper hand in the second semi-final so far. They have made 49/2 after 6.3 overs. Rohail Nazir just got out to Fareed Ahmad, but Omair Yousuf is still there with an unbeaten 23. The run-rate is close to 8 per over, which looks OK given the ground conditions. This is the same pitch where Bangladesh got bowled out for just 96 runs a few hours ago. And Pakistan has a strong middle and lower order for this match. Qasim Akram, Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali are yet to bat and they also have Arafat Minhas down the order.

Poor performance from Pakistan team. Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bowl. Pakistan started good, soon after the fall of Yousuf wickets started to fall off and by the 18^th over lost every wicket scoring 115 runs. Among that 17 runs have come out of extras, look how bad the team had performed. Afghanistan have begun the chase scoring 9 runs in a over and there is more chances for Afghanistan to win the match as it is low target.

Afghanistan won the Semi final by 4 wickets. Pakistan 115 All Out in 18 Overs against Afghanistan in Asian Games. Very poor performance by Pakistan bastmen Haider Ali Score only 2 runs in 6 balls, Asif Ali not batting well Score 8 runs in 4 balls and Khushdil Shah is also flopped scored 8 runs in 10 balls. Afghanistan needs 116 to win in 20 over and they easily chase down the target 116 in loss of 6 wickets in 17.5 Overs. India has already reached the finals defeating Bangladesh by 9 wickets

Arafat Minhas has got 2 in one over, Pulling things back for Pakistan in match Afghanistan 42 in loss of 3 wickets. But Gulbadin Naib lead from front and muscled 23 runs in 18th over by Aamer Jamaal to win the match by 4 wickets. Noor Ali is also batting outstanding 39 runs scored in 33 balls and hepled team to victory. Afghanistan will meet India in the finals

[romero121]

The match for the bronze medal scheduled to be started few hours earlier and rain had delayed the match. Based on the recent update it looks like a longer delay and there is possible chances of over cut s the final is scheduled to start within few hours.

Both Bangladesh and Pakistan losing their semifinals have got the opportunity to take home a medal and now its to decide who reaches the podium. Bangladesh lost badly against India losing by 9 wickets. Pakistan with the low score tried to defend Afghanistan and finally lost the match. Finally the match have begun as Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl. Pakistan should score 150+ runs to keep it on the winning side.

[Out of mind]

In Bangladesh vs Pakistan playoff match, the game was hampered due to rain. Pakistan batted first and collected 48 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. Today's match was reduced to 5 overs by DL method due to rain, and Pakistan scored 48 runs in 5 overs, giving Pakistan a target of 65 runs by DL method. Today's match is Pakistan with a very good batting performance, and they scored very few runs, today's playoff match might be lost by them. Bangladesh were in great batting form today, an interesting game, they are showing they need few runs to win. Right now, Bangladesh have lost two wickets and have collected 40 runs in three overs. Now, if Bangladesh wants to win, they have to collect 25 runs from 12 balls, although it will be very difficult, but if they can bat well, Bangladesh team can win easily. Moreover, both the teams are currently in the exciting stage, so it is not possible to accurately predict which team will win today's playoff match.

The rain interruption had continued and the overs got reduced to 13 overs. Soon after the start of the match with the overs cut, once again rain had interrupted and the overs have been reduced to 5 overs. Pakistan had scored 45/1 wicket in 5 overs. Now based on the DLS method Bangladesh were given a target of 65 runs in 5 overs. 13 rpo is a big target, because missing it in a over could increase the pressure. Bangladesh played well and won the bronze medal as they won the match by 6 wickets. The winning credit goes to Afif Hossain scoring 20 from 11 balls and Yasir Ali scoring 34 runs from 16 balls. Rakibul Hasan made the win scoring 4 runs in the last ball.

[JSRAW]

Indians are dominating Afghan bros in the Gold medal final.

4 overs in the game and they are 13/3 already. Bad running and 1 dodgy decision from the umpire didn't help their cause. I like Mohammad Shahzad, he's an interesting character in a good way so I feel bad for him.  

-----------
Edit

Decent recovery for the Afghans, now they need a couple of cameos in the last 36 balls.

Today's match was reduced to 5 overs by DL method due to rain, and Pakistan scored 48 runs in 5 overs, giving Pakistan a target of 65 runs by DL method. Today's match is Pakistan with a very good batting performance, and they scored very few runs,

Yeh paksitan lose this important match against Bangladesh too after bad defeat from Afghanistan in semifinals and lose an opportunity to won a bronze medal same like women team does first they lose semifinals and then third place too. We expect that again we will see a indopak final but unfortunately things were gone in wrong way for paksitan against Afghanistan which I taught they will won easily but I think due to lack of some experienced player Afghanistan took domination over them, anyway against Bangladesh rain interrup and over shorter down to 5, where paksitan score good but unable to defend and thus Bangladesh won this important match.

The final match of the Asian Games has started. Afghanistan cricket team and India cricket team are facing each other in this final match game today. I always support Indian cricket team. India is a favorite team in the world of cricket. Indian cricket team players can adopt all the strategies of cricket, depending on the time. Due to this, India is a popular team among cricket lovers. In today's final match, the Indian cricket team won the toss and decided to bowl first. The bowlers of the Indian cricket team have been excellent since the beginning of bowling. The batsmen of the Afghanistan team are failing one after another to play the balls of the bowlers of the Indian cricket team. Afghanistan cricket team has lost five wickets so far due to attack by Indian bowlers. Afghanistan team scored 70 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 12.5 overs. It is doubtful whether Afghanistan will be able to cross 120 in this final match today

At the moment, rain disturbed the match Afghanistan against India team and final match of Asian Games cup and Play off match Pakistan against Bangladesh already finished. India is a strong cricket team in this cup and also in world cup. I hope they will win this Asian Games cup easily and at present Afghanistan team was batting in the crease and their team made 112 score and 4 wickets were left in 18.5 overs. If they countinue their same potential in next few balls they were able to give 120 above target which is not low target. But in opponent team also most strongest team in previous semi final match they defended 90+ target in less than 10 overs I feel that 120 or 130 runs target were not enough for India team.
