I would actually like to see the teams that build from scratch. Because I do not want to see the same players play for the same team for a long period of time. Because what's the point of having a tournament like this then?

That actually happens during mega auction, to most extent, here, franchises are only allowed to retain 4 players (this was case in 2022's mega auction, prior to it was 5), so team's have to build remaining squad from scratch unlike mini auctions where there is no limit to retained players, so teams remain more or less same.

Kenya won by 4 wickets against Malawi by DLS method in second semi final. The player of the match is Neil Mugabe for his amazing batting performances scored 56 runs unbeaten in just 42 balls. Keny batting first scored 138 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Rushab Patel played well scored important 32 runs in just 25 bslls. Mawi bowling performance is good Donnex Kansonkho bowling outstanding picked 4 crucial wickets by giving 16 runs in 3 overs and Moazzam Baig picked 1 wicket. By DLS method target is shorter and Malawi scored 39 runs in loss of 2 wickets in 5 overs.

Malawi also batted well they were just short of 4 5 runs as the target was 44 and they were on 39. So, they loss their easy game against Kenya. Although the team Kenya was good since the matches that they won recently. And also the target of 44 runs is not too much In 5 overs. The target was easily achievable as now a days the batting and the bowling is too fast for each team and that is the way that mostly players really bat well and they won their matches for their teams which are a good step for the cricket fans.

Uganda won the toss and first decided bowling. Botswana batsman makes 8 run in 3 over and Uganda no any wicket against Botswana batsman. Botswana batsman could not worked hard and struggle. Botswana batsman makes 32 run in 11 over and 4 outs. This is very bad condition for Botswana batsman. Botswana could not played very well. Botswana batsman makes 62 run in 20 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Uganda batsman. This is very easy target for Uganda batsman. Uganda batsman complete this target and won the match. Uganda batsman makes 63 run in 6 over and 0 outs. Uganda bowler could worked hard and struggle and won the match.The Botswana batsmen did not show any effort.  If they make more than 150 runs.  But their bowlers could control them.

I was expecting that performance from Botswana they jut made 62 runs and all team out and Uganda chase the target with in 5.2 overs excellent played Uganda.
In the second semifinal rain was there and Kenya gave the target of 139 runs and due to rain Malwi has 44 runs target in 5 overs and they made only 39 runs.
So now we have the Final match Between

Uganda vs Kenya

So today is the final and the match is going to be interesting. Because both teams are good and but I think Kenya will win this match. But there is a problem whenever a team won the all the matches of a Cup at the end they lose in final hahaha! Like we have an example of Indian yeam in ICC world cup. By yhe way my best wishes are with Kenya.

If you look at the recent matches, then Kenya has always lost one to one matches against Uganda in both T20 and ODI formats. Kenya is not the same team that reached the semi-finals of the 2003 World Cup. Once the golden generation players retired, the team simply disintegrated. And at that time Srinivasan-Pawar mafia took control of the ICC and stopped funding the associate nations. Game died down completely and by the time Shashank Manohar tried to rectify the mistakes, it was too late. Anyway, Uganda has made rapid progress during the last few years. So they will be the favorites.

Uganda is favourite to win this final match. Is last year semi final match Uganda and Kenya. Uganda won this match by 3 wickets by DLS method. Kenya batting first and set a low target 105 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 18 overs. From Kenya Irfan Karim batting well scored 48 runs in 43 balls. Uganda bowling performance is outstanding Cosmas Kyewuta picked up 4 important wicktes and Juma Miyagi picked 2 important wicktes by giving 13 runs. Uganda chase down the target 107 runs in loss of 7 wickets in last over match beacuse fo batting performance of Riazat Ali Shah scored 48 runs in 43 balls. If kenya set a good target then they will this final against Uganda.

[3kpk3]

In my opinion, that oction is in start. Record will be break on Viral Kohli and Rohit Sharma because Indian businessmans invest money in  their own batsmans. They invest on foreign players but they prefer first their own players. Indian IPL investor will break the record and they will end the  oction on big players like MS Dhoni.

It seems like you don't know much about the IPL frankly speaking. Players like MSD, Kohli etc aren't on the auction table because their respective teams retained them for obvious reasons.

Also, it's auction(Not oction). Do your research before randomly stating stuff here and there.

Kenya failed to win their last match against Uganda. Kenya lost by 33 runs against Uganda in the T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier match. Kenya will definitely want to defeat the Ugandan team in today's match. I would say Kenya and Uganda are almost equally strong teams. Both teams have equal chances of winning. In the group stage match against Rwanda, Uganda lost by 2 runs. So if the Kenyan bowlers can do well in today's match as well then they have a chance to win. Kenya will not be able to beat a team like Uganda without good performance from the bowlers.

Two decades ago, Kenya had some world class players in their squad, such as Maurice Odumbe, Steve Tikolo, Collins Obuya, Thomas Odoyo and Ravindu Shah. But those times are long gone. Once the golden generation retired from cricket, they went downhill. Only Collins Obuya is still with them. Now the squad is primarily composed of Indian origin players. Kenya is a prime example where the ICC actually managed to destroy cricket. Anyway, now Uganda and Namibia are the strongest associate sides from African continent. Kenya is nowhere in picture.

I agree with you. Two decades ago the Kenyan squad had several world-class players. This team could have done well against the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe back then. But in between the Kenya team was almost lost. Their performance deteriorated badly. And we haven't seen a Kenyan team regularly in cricket for a long time. But in the last 2/3 years, Kenya wants to back cricket again. And slowly this group is improving. Compared to teams like Uganda, the Kenyan team is experienced. I hope Kenya's win against Uganda will prove their mettle.

I have noticed some improvement in the performance of the Kenyan team. But now the situation is much different. Teams like Namibia and Uganda are much ahead of them. And 75% of the squad is now comprised of Asian origin players (two decades ago, 75% were native). I am still hopeful of a turnaround, but it will take them a long time to recover from the backstabbing that they received from the ICC. The positive thing is that because of social media, the ICC can no longer ignore the associate nations. In recent past they have seen an increase in funding.

IPL auction has started, GT has the biggest kitty whereas LG has the smallest. It is not happening in India but in Dubai this time and there are more than 300 players who will go under the hammer. Travis Head, sold to SRH for Eight million, four hundred thousand USD, Rilee Rossouw, Karun Nair, Steven Smith and Manish Pandey remain unsold. Harry Brook, sold to DC for Five million, two hundred thousand USD. Rovman Powell, sold to RR for Nine million, eight hundred eighty thousand USD.

The new series of T20 is coming soon between Pakistan and New Zealand, I know that this series will start after a long time, it will start on 12 January and will finish on 21 January but my main purpose is not this, my purpose is that after two or three Pakistan squad will be announced, and on this time maybe Babar, Rizwan, and maybe Shaheen don't play this series.

I do not conform yet but PCB said that maybe Babar and Rizwan don't play this series because they should need rest and Shaheen problem is you see him in this Australian series that he can't do a fastball as he did previous of 150km, he just bowl of 130km so he also need rest, so that's why they will not select maybe.

There will be no problem if Pakistan temporarily rests two batsmen, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, and it would be better to replace them with two fresh faces in the team. But there is no option for Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi, he may be temporarily rested due to some injuries. Moreover, Naseem Shah is mainly out of the squad due to injury, but if Naseem Shah returns to the squad, Shaheen Afridi's lack will be filled to some extent. However, the lack of Mohammad Rizwan in the Pakistan team is not easy to fill. However, it is believed that the T20 squad would be best if some of Pakistan's new debutants are made up.

Except for the first-tier teams, every squad has more than 75% Asian players. And the ICC is also silent on the matter. Because the people of these countries still do not like cricket very much. Moreover, ICC wants to expand cricket more.

Hopefully, as the situation continues, people in countries like USA, Kenya, Uganda and UAE will become interested in cricket in the future. And if local people are interested in cricket, maybe there will be less Asian players in the teams in future.

IPL is the biggest premier league in the world of cricket.Most of the players are more interested in this league, almost all the players from different countries are looking for an opportunity to play in the IPL.
The price of Pat Cummins may be the highest in this year's IPL. The demand for him could be due to his recently won the ODI World Cup which has made him so sought after by all teams and cost him so much.
One thing I regret is that Indians don't give or buy any Pakistani players in IPL.Pakistanis have many talented and great players who constantly play well with different teams.Similarly, this year the Indian Cricket Board has not bought Bangladeshi players for its IPL teams.

Pakistani players not coming to play in IPL or Pakistani players not being given chance in IPL is nothing new. But this year Bangladeshi players are not being given a chance, one of the main reasons is the controversy over Australia's support for Bangladeshi players in this year's World Cup. Moreover, Sri Lankan players may not be given a chance this year. However, we were able to see two Bangladeshi players in the past IPLs, but this year the support of Bangladeshis towards IPL will decrease a bit if Mustafizur Rahman, Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan are not auctioned.

Uganda vs Kenya

The match will start with in one hour. Like you said the Kenya has the chances. Because Kenya didn't lose a single Match. In whole tournament we have seen that Kenyan played very well and won all the matches and today is the last match means the final Match. The match will be interesting. Because both teams will try to beat each other. Uganda played very well the Semifinal. They out the Botswana on 62 runs. Which Is showing that they have a good bowling line and chased the target with in 6 overs means also have good batting. So really hard to predict at this time that who will win.

In the early seasons of IPL, Pakistani players used to play regularly in this league, I saw videos on YouTube by searching.Political discrimination is one of the main reasons why Pakistani players are not given a chance to play in the IPL.Coming to the words of Bangladesh, there is no word written anywhere that all countries will support a team in the World Cup and no one will.As far as I know on match day between Bangladesh and India the Indian fans tear the tiger which is the symbol of the Bangladesh Cricket Board by the Indian fans and also desecrate the flag of Bangladesh.As a result, when India and Australia reached the final, most of the fans of Bangladesh supported Australia.On the day of the India vs Australia final match when India lost to Australia, various Bangladeshi fans wrote some nasty things on social media.Due to which the Indian fans and the Indian Cricket Board got angry and canceled the decision of any Bangladeshi player to play in the IPL this season.
