T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Mitchell freaking Starc becomes the highest buy in IPL history. KKR splurged around 24.75 cr to purchase him which is insane while SRH splurged around 20.5 cr to purchase the services of Cummins.

Personally, I don't think either of them deserve such high amounts in this format. It's pretty clear that their ODI World Cup heroics helped them in this case.

Yea, insane purchases. Even if they play well, this exorbitant value. On other side, I feel Ravindra sold for cheap, and Bangalore should have gone for him, but they stayed silent.

I didn't understand craze behind bidding war for Harshal Patel tbh.

Too much money and i believe purses will only increase in the next 3-5 years. There is one formula for overseas players in the IPL. Beat the Indian team and perform against them and you'll be rewarded handsomely in the IPL so I think recency bias due to the WC did play its part, works even better if you are from BIG-2 (Eng +Aus).

Patel's last season was horrible but he is an Indian seamer and will play all the matches (the main reason because of supply and demand), in a majority of his appearances he did alright and also had a couple of good seasons but overall i agree, he surely doesn't deserve anything over 6-8 crore. 

Names appearing in bold are actually out of auctions. I cannot accept this as final auction in any way. Because RaviChandan Ashwin is not sold till now. It is unacceptable that a player like Ashwin has not been bought yet but very soon Ravichandran Ashwin along with the above players will be sold in the auction.
Lol Kuldeep Yadav,also unsold.

The franchise needs to release players first otherwise their names don't appear on the auction table. Ashwin is with Rajasthan and Kuldeep is already with Delhi.

Although that was a high scorin match between the Team West Indies and Team England because both the teams gave their strong batting line up although in the previous matches of the World cup if we see the overall performance of the team England batsmen in the World Cup that was not even that good but now in the series they are playing a good cricket and they aere proving themselves to be a better team.

Today is the fourth match of a big series, that is hosted by West Indies state whose name is Tarouba, and the match is between West Indies and England, as I said this match is set to be played in Tarouba, and if we talk to about the weather of Tarouba so in Tarouba there is small amount of rain that disturb the game in between break and breaks, but maybe they will not disturb because I think the timing f both things is different but I know that somehow rain will come in the match and disturb the match.

By the way, England needs to win this match to stay in the series and they would definitely want no interruptions. West Indies on the other hand would want to win this match and do not want to make it 2-2 series level and then everything will depend on the last match of the series.

Tomorrow is the match between two women's teams, Bangladesh Women and South African Women, and tomorrow's match is set to be played in the ground , Potchefstroom, and usually the weather of  Potchefstroom is not good and I think that tomorrow's match we cannot see because the tomorrow's weather is too harsh for a cricket match.

The rain will start in the morning and maybe it will not stop for a day, but I hope that we will see a match if weather permits. I have seen the Potchefstroom weather for tomorrow on google and based on that I am saying this.

Mitchell Starc has become the most expensive signing in the IPL. This bid has shocked the cricket world, as well myself and it seems like SRH is in desperate need of a champion captain. Perhaps, being the captain of the World Cup-winning team holds a lot of influence.

Personally, I don't think either of them deserve such high amounts in this format. It's pretty clear that their ODI World Cup heroics helped them in this case.

Whether you agree or not, Australian players continue to dominate in India. They work hard, and it's only fair that they get paid well. Once again, it proves the premium value of Australian players. I don't see any issue with Mitchell Starc and Cummins earning such high amounts. They are both champion bowlers and game-changers.

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.

Finally, the squad of Pakistan has been released for the New Zealand tour 2024, and this squad is very good, The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) picked very good players, and they also picked players from domestic cricket like Sahibzada Farhan and others.

As you all know that in this time, Pakistan team is in the tour of Australia, and on this tour, Aamir Jamal did bowling very well he took 6 wickets on innings of Australia, but sadly we can't see Naseem Shah in this series due to injury but I hope that after this series we will see him.

We can say that from this series Pakistan team can win, and, In this series, Pakistan was given the chance to play to new player like Haseebullah, and Sahibzada Farhan. Haseebullah is a very good player he played PSL for Peshawar Zalmi and on their his performance was very extreme, and Zaman Khan also played in this series, and Abbas Afridi was also selected and he also played PSL for Multan Sultan. Pakistan squad is very good let's see if will they perform with this type of squad.

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.

The final match between Uganda and Kenya is started. Kenya won the toss and decided to bowl first. The bowling first is good decision in this pitch let see what happend and how kenya restricted Uganda under 120 runs but they need early wickets to put pressure on Uganda and then there will be best chances to win this match. Uganda is best batting and bowling line against Kenya. They will try to scored a big total and win this final of ACA Africa cup.

Buddy tomorrow it seems that Bangladesh women vs South Africa women's team ODI format match is going to be held. You seem to have mistakenly put the Odi format match update in the t20 topic. Anyway, I think tomorrow this match will not run due to rain like it happened in a previous T20 match.

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.

Due to good popularity of the T20I we have good activity which is good for the game now just because of this we have too many countries from African region are working on their teams and bring good talent as well which will help the game specially now countries like Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria and Malawi are doing good work and just because of this Kenya is also improving their quality which is good for the game even still we have strong base in Asia but now due to good activity in this region we can expect more competitive teams in this region.

Now in coming days we will have Philippine team will also be touring Indonesia for the few matches and then Vietnam is also starting their tours which are positive signs for the game in this region which was completely under control of soccer, but now this new game is also spreading.

In 8th match of Big bash league Sydney Thunder played first and made 200/7 in 20 overs Cameron make 74 runs on 54 balls and Alex ross made 46 on 26 while David payne and jamie takes 2, 2 wickets Adelaide Strikers chase down the target 205/5 in 19.4 overs captain Matthew 81 runs on 42 balls with 6 sixes and Short 66 on 47 balls while Adam hose 28 on 9 help Adelaide to won this match by 5 wickets Sydney lost of their 2 matches while Adelaide won their first match of big bash league

Spoken like a proper amateur. They are champion bowlers in the test and ODI formats, but not the T-20 format which is why anyone with a half-decent brain knows that they were overpaid for like crazy just like Curran, Stokes etc before them.

Also, the Australian bowlers who truly performed well in the ODI WC 2023 were Zampa and Hazlewood. Think!

Although that was a high scorin match between the Team West Indies and Team England because both the teams gave their strong batting line up although in the previous matches of the World cup if we see the overall performance of the team England batsmen in the World Cup that was not even that good but now in the series they are playing a good cricket and they aere proving themselves to be a better team.

Today we will see the match of West Indies and England and it will start in the next few hours and this will be a very exciting and unbelievable match because this match decide who will win this series; if West Indies wins so West Indies win this series and if England wins so the next match is a final match if England will win so 2-2 will happen and then the fifth match decide that who will win this series, and if West Indies won this series so they won both series of ODI and T20 against England. Waiting to see who will win today's match.

Odds suggest that England should win this match, as odds for England are 1.70 while for the West Indies, it is 2.08 (these odds are taken from stake.com).

I didn't understand craze behind bidding war for Harshal Patel tbh.

Starc and Pat Cummins went for the costly price tag, but why Coetzee didn't get such a deal? That was more surprising to me.

I thought CSK will go for him hard, but they didn't even interest on bidding, and they bought Mustafizur who is going to be the only overseas bowler and few uncapped players went for unexpected price too.

I am totally disappointed with Kenya's performance today. I don't expect such poor performance from Kenyan players. Because in the last few matches we got to see quite a good performance from the players of Kenya. I did not watch the match live, but watched the highlights of the match.
Uganda team set a huge target of 187 runs. Obuya's 57 runs off 38 balls and Nakrani's 29 runs set the Ugandan team a huge target of 187 runs. But Kenya lost all their wickets to collect only 95 runs. Nakrani took 3 wickets and Senyondon 4 wickets. I thought the match would be competitive. But the match was completely one-sided.

Right, Mitchell Starc sold to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Rs 24.75, it’s breaking all records in IPL history i think. And it’s very interesting KKR highest spend money is Rs 32.7 crore for 2024 IPL and they spend 70% money for one player of course it’s a over money. On the other same thing happened in Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Pat Cummins is 2nd expensive player who sold out in Rs 20.5 core it’s also big and SRH spend 55%-60% amount of money for a player.

The rain will start in the morning and maybe it will not stop for a day, but I hope that we will see a match if weather permits. I have seen the Potchefstroom weather for tomorrow on google and based on that I am saying this.

I am really looking forward to this match. The Bangladesh Women's team are performing exceptionally well right now. Last month one of their players won the Player of the Month and then they beat South Africa by a huge margin, they also tied the T20 series against them. A new team is on the rising.

South Africa's recent performance has been questionable. They lost to Pakistan 3-0 and tied against New Zealand recently. Although they are a very strong team.

The weather has me concerned as you have said that there might be rain. Rains like these stop the series from having a winner.

England   vs  West Indies

The fourth match of T20 series between West Indies vs England is going to be held shortly. In the first two matches, we saw the dominance of the West Indies players. The West Indies team set a huge target of 223 runs in the third match as well. But even then they were not able to win the match. England will try hard to win this series. Because the England team failed to win the ODI series.

England team is strong. But most of the players in the squad are now out of form. Their performance is very erratic. And so it is difficult to say whether the England players will do well today even if they performed well in the third match.

West Indies won the toss and decided to field. I support their decision. Because in the previous match we saw that the West Indies team failed to win even after giving a huge target of 223.

West Indies batting order is very strong. We have seen excellent batting from the West Indies players in almost every match of this series against England. However, the performance of their bowlers is erratic. The squad also lacks experienced bowlers. However, my guess is that England will win the match. And the series would be tied at 2-2.

I agree with you. As the West Indies team had to lose despite giving a huge target in the previous match, so the decision to field earlier in today's match is correct. Because although the performance of West Indies batsmen is good, the performance of their bowlers is average.

England's two openers are batting responsibly. They are not in too much of a hurry. At the end of 3 overs, England collected only 21 runs. If they don't lose quick wickets then England can easily give more than 200 target. They have this ability. In the previous match we saw that England scored 74 runs in the last 4 overs.

In 8th match of Big bash league Sydney Thunder played first and made 200/7 in 20 overs Cameron make 74 runs on 54 balls and Alex ross made 46 on 26 while David payne and jamie takes 2, 2 wickets Adelaide Strikers chase down the target 205/5 in 19.4 overs captain Matthew 81 runs on 42 balls with 6 sixes and Short 66 on 47 balls while Adam hose 28 on 9 help Adelaide to won this match by 5 wickets Sydney lost of their 2 matches while Adelaide won their first match of big bash league

Bash big league today match is very interested match. Because Sydney thunder batsman play very well and makes 200 run in 20 over. This is a good and difficult target.  And it was made very hard.Adelaide strikers batsmen fared even better complete their target in 19.3 overs. Sydney Thunder got a huge defeat today as they gave the target of 200 with hard work and struggle and the target and struggle and hard work will be met in clay.If the bowlers of Sydney Thunder worked hard and struggle they would have controlled them and played the match.  But they will fail and lose the match.Adelaide striker batsmen batted with full effort and gave the enemy a resounded reply and achieved their target and won the match.
