T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Today 21st Match of Namibia vs Nigeria team has already started.Nigeria team came out to bat first and scored 93 runs in 19.2 overs. Namibia The team will easily win this match.The Nigeria team batsmen were under a lot of pressure to give a good performance on the Namibia team bowling line. The Namibia team now came to the field to bat. They scored 48 runs in 7 overs. They have lost 1 wicket so far.  Namibia team need 46 runs from 78 balls to win this match.

Namibia finishes with 6 wins from 6 matches and once again proved that they are the second strongest team in African continent after South Africa. And remember that they were playing without one of their key players (Ruben Trumpelmann). David Wiese was superb in today's match, and returned figures of 4-1-10-2. Entry of experienced players such as Trumpelmann and Wiese has transformed the Namibian team. They need to work on the batting now. Batting still looks a bit weak of now. That said, Michael van Lingen and Nikolaas Davin did a decent job in this tournament.

Namibia's batting is weak? I don't think so. Their batting is much stronger than all other teams. They reached the target of 133 runs against Zimbabwe in just 14.4 overs. They set a huge target of 208 against Rwanda. Against Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda each, Namibia's players performed well. They easily reached the goal of victory. But we still don't know if this team can do well against teams like Bangladesh or Afghanistan. Namibia should try to organize series against Bangladesh and Afghanistan before the World Cup. In this they will get proof of their ability.

Confirmed - Uganda has qualified for the world cup (first time ever for them), while Zimbabwe is out. All the 20 participants for the 2024 World Cup are now confirmed. At this point, India is no.1 ranked team as per the ICC (and that too by a considerable distance), and therefore they will be the favorites to lift the trophy. But then, the conditions are not favorable as the matches will be held in West Indies and the United States.

I would like to keep Australia and South Africa ahead for the upcoming T20 world cup. The popularity of cricket may increase worldwide for the participation of more teams. But those teams are quite weak who has qualified by playing the qualification matches from different regions. Those new teams won't be able to play a competitive match against the top opponents. The conditions of USA and West Indies won't be favourable for any Asian teams.

I didn't know the Ugandan team until a few days ago. But this team is playing well enough. Although I have never seen Uganda's performance against any big team. But against Zimbabwe, Uganda's performance was very good. Also against Nigeria and Kenya, Uganda's players have been able to show dominance. It will not be difficult for Uganda to win against Rwanda in the last match. Because Rwanda is a very weak opponent. We are going to see the Ugandan team for the first time in the upcoming T20 World Cup. But this team needs more improvement. Otherwise they will not be able to compete against any big team.

One thing that I noticed about the Ugandan team is that although majority of the players are native Ugandan, they have a few players who are born either in India or Pakistan. For example, Bilal Hassan and Riazat Ali Shah were born in Pakistan, while Alpesh Ramjani, Ronak Patel and Dinesh Nakrani are originally from India. And so far in this tournament, Riazat Ali Shah has performed exceptionally well. I was just wondering what would have happened if all these Pakistani origin players actually chose to play for Pakistan instead. I am not just talking about these two Ugandan players, but also about Sikandar Raza, Imran Tahir and Usman Khawaja. 

The new teams that are gradually taking interest in cricket have very few native players. Most of the players are Pakistani or Indian. This is because there are a lot of Indian or Pakistani players. And getting a chance in their national team is very tough. This is why we see a lot of Pakistani and Indian players in teams like Uganda or UAE. And it is becoming normal now. But slowly many countries are getting interested in cricket. Maybe in the future the people of UAE or Uganda will also become more interested in cricket. Then they can produce a lot of players from their own country.

In this they will get proof of their ability.

Against weak teams like Nigeria, Rwanda and Tanzania, their batsmen always perform well. But when they play against stronger teams they sometimes suffer batting collapse. Last time when they played in the T20 World Cup, they missed the qualification to super-12 after performing very well initially. Once again, it was the batsmen who failed them. The same thing happened when Karnataka toured Namibia a few months back. Anyway, their batsmen are quite young and there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Zim won by 110 runs. The Cricket Match between Kenya vs. Zimbabwe. Congratulations to Team Zimbabwe on their well-deserved victory! Your exceptional performance in both batting and bowling showcased incredible skill and determination. Setting a challenging target of 217 runs and then successfully defending it with strategic bowling is a testament to the hard work and teamwork of each player. Well done on this impressive achievement, and may this win be the first of many more to come. Celebrate your success and best wishes for continued triumphs on the cricket field!

Zimbabwe sqaud against Kenya squad nineteenth match was already finished today of this World cup qualifier competition and now this competition was finished Zimbabwe squad is on third place on standings table by emerging victory in today match. In today match, Zimbabwe sqaud effort was unbelievable and unbeatable in batting inning. After playing 20 overs in crease Zimbabwe overall squad made 217 scores and this was a very big defending target against Kenya squad. I mostly liked batting performance of Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams batters very impressive and both these batters played exceptionally great. They played a important role in emerging today victory of Zimbabwe sqaud. Sad for Zimbabwe sqaud was not qualify for World cup

I would like to keep Australia and South Africa ahead for the upcoming T20 world cup. The popularity of cricket may increase worldwide for the participation of more teams. But those teams are quite weak who has qualified by playing the qualification matches from different regions. Those new teams won't be able to play a competitive match against the top opponents. The conditions of USA and West Indies won't be favourable for any Asian teams.

Rankings and conditions don't really mean much in big ICC tournaments and time has proven that again and again. My favorites who are the strongest contenders for the T-20 WC 2024 are South Africa and India.

Both these teams have exceptional batting lineups which is primarily why I feel that they will win the cup.

But in a tournament like the T20 Worldcup, experienced players are more important, if all the young inexperienced players who have not played in major tournaments have to struggle for it.

A mix of experience and youth will be a strong team rather than fielding an fully experienced team. India does have a long list of youngsters that are performing well and even in this series against Australia there are some really promising players in the side and they should get the opportunity and strengthen their bowling unit with experience.

Yeah. Having a mix of experienced and young players in a team will help a lot in the team's performance. The Australia series has seen many future superstars of the Indian team and they are showing through their performances that they will make a strong position in the Indian team very soon. Rinku Singh's performance in the Australia series was amazing for me, India team is getting a great finisher. Let's see what Team India thinks for their next T20I Worldcup.

Congratulations to Uganda for their convincing victory over Rwanda! With Rwanda getting all out for just 65 runs, Uganda's effective bowling played an attacking role in the match. Securing a 9-wicket win and a total of 5 wins out of 6 matches, Uganda has rightfully qualified for the T20 World Cup 2024. Well done! 🎉🏏

Zimbabwe's fortunes have burned and Uganda's fortunes have opened. This is truly a historic achievement for Uganda in the world of cricket. Uganda reached the milestone by winning five of their six matches in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers. Their nine-wicket victory over Rwanda ensured their place among the top two teams in the tournament, as well as their qualification for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Uganda joins Namibia as Africa's representative for the ICC Men's Twenty20 World Cup 2024. This edition of the tournament will have a total of 20 teams and will be hosted in USA and West Indies.

The conditions of USA and West Indies won't be favourable for any Asian teams.

If I am not wrong the swing and seam condition in West Indies are similar to the seaming condition of Indian tracks so I don't think team India will have diffuclty playing over there and it can be spin friendly too where Asian teams are stonger than others so on whole 6 teams has got chance to lift a trophy despite being strongest teams while the associate nations show their performance to the world's arena of cricket which will revolutionaize the upcoming generation.

Yes you are right ,but today Rwanda a loss the match against Uganda.and Let's talk about Nigeria and Nambia match, Nigeria made a very low score 93 run all team out  . Namibia team won the match by 13 overs. Nambia players bowling performance  very well . B Scholtz play very well and took 3 wickets by giving 15 run In 4 overs and JJ Smit also bowling  very well, he took 2 wickets by giving 14 runs in 3 overs and he also made a score for his team and was awarded as a player of the match.D wiese also took 2 wickets by giving 10 runs in 4 overs and he performed an excellent bowling.

Same like our expectations Namibia done a good job in his last match of world Cup qualifier round and registered his 6th consecutive victory which is quite good for Namibia and also indicate they are well prepared for any tough situation and now they are officially qualified for upcoming ICC t20 World Cup to play while after Uganda victory Zimbabwe has got officially out of tournament, no doubt they has made a decent comback in his last matches but his early two defeat cost them very expensive and that the point where Uganda took a lead and move on to second spot and push Zimbabwe out of the tournament, I taught Zimbabwe and namibia will move to next round but unfortunately they deserving Zimbabwe got out

Yup, most of these qualified teams will be going out by super 8 and obvious ones will remain at top. Although, winning the world cup from 20 teams competiting for it, certainly looks good on paper.

And remember that Uganda has achieved all this despite being allocated with less than 1% of the funds that Zimbabwe receive every year. And this is why I always say that full member status should not be permanent. Zimbabwe doesn't deserve the full member status (and the additional funding that comes along with it), because they are unable to win matches against even mid-tier associate nations. That funding should be rather provided to hard-working nations such as Uganda who have made rapid progress in international cricket recently.

At this very moment, i'd very much prefer role-based captaincy in every format so won't mind 3 different captains for all 3 formats.

Indian squad for the South African tour. I was thinking about spilt captaincy in each format and they are heading in the same direction. Although i believe atm it's a monkey balancing act as far as the White ball (T-20/ODI) format is concerned. SKY is just a temp skipper because Pandaya ( or a senior player like Rohit) is not there and it also indicates that they are not looking at Iyer as an option for T-20 skipper, despite him being in the squad.

For ODI they went with KL, IMO it would be too early to make any assumption about it as ODI is not relevant right now. Test captaincy was obvious so not a brainer.

[ThemePen]

So guys today is the fourth T20I?atch between Australia and India. As we know that India won first two matches of this series but in the third match Glenn Maxwell was on the pitch and have seen that if he will remain on the pitch so definitely Australia win that match.

By the way no one know about that what will happen in today's match. If India will win today match so India will win the series and Australia needs to win two of remaining matches to win the series.

Both teams are really strong and no one can predict exactly that will win. In both of teams which will play the first turn and will make 200+ runs so for the opposite team this will be little bit difficult to chase.

And one more thing which I was thinking that how the cricket evolved. Means in the past we considered 200+ runs target a huge target ambut now we are looking that this is a common target in these. What do you think guys Isn't it?

I would have rather preferred Shreyas Iyer as the ODI captain, but they chose KL Rahul instead. I am following Rahul's performance for the past several years, and he has failed at both international level and in IPL. Ideally Shreyas or some of the other promising players such as Hardick, Ishan or Shubman could have been given the chance, but the selectors don't want to do that. Also, congratulations to Sanju Samson. He got included in the ODI squad. At least now his rabid fans would stop booing the Indian team whenever they play in Kerala.

Well, I think it is pretty obvious that it is going to be another 200+ chase again. I know people like to see a lot of fours and sixes but I think this is just a little too much. The bowlers literally have nothing to do in the whole match for either side, to be honest. It's about how good the other team can hit the ball. Really do not think that is how cricket should be played.

But the pitches of India are mostly batting-sided. So that is what is gonna happen almost every time. Honestly, sometimes it looks like mindless swinging of bat.

This is a very important match of this T20 series, probably the most important one being played at Raipur. India can either win this match and seal the series or Australia can win this match and square the series.

I think if India were to win the series, they need to win this match, otherwise, if the Aussies win this one too, they will be in full confidence coming back from two matches down and equaling the series. The same they did in the World Cup when they lost the two initial matches and then there was no looking back.

[Essential10]

India face Australia in Raipur today looking for a series win. It is clear that both India and Australia have some important areas to focus on going into the fourth T20I. With the series finely tuned, India will be keen to address their death bowling concerns and strengthen their top-order batting performance. Australia, on the other hand, will work to adapt to changes in their squad and strengthen their middle-order batting. Overall, it promises to be an exciting and closely contested match between the two cricketing powerhouses. Both teams will be looking to gain the upper hand and build momentum as they head towards the upcoming T20 World Cup.

[roksana.hee]

The cricket match between India and Australia in Raipur today is cool to be a thrilling encounter as both teams struggle for a series win. The analysis suggests that both sides have identified key areas for improvement. India is particularly focused on addressing their concerns in death bowling and enhancing their top-order batting performance. Meanwhile, Australia aims to adapt to changes in their squad and strengthen their middle-order batting.

The outcome of this game holds significance for both teams as they seek to build momentum heading into the upcoming T20 World Cup. Cricket enthusiasts can anticipate an intense and competitive clash as India and Australia battle it out on the field.
