T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[noormcs5]

2 nd T20 game in between New Zealand team vs Pakistan team was concluded already and a few mins ago. Pakistan team first won the toss with opponent team New Zealand and got chance for bat or bowl and Pakistan team chose bowl first. New Zealand team effort in this game was outstanding and they beat Pakistan team bowler very badly. New Zealand team scored 194 runs in 20 overs by losing 8 wickets and this target was good. F.Allen batsman scored 74 runs in 41 balls with seven 4s and five 6s, U.Mir dismissed F.Allen. F.Allen also credited with Player of game award due to their outstanding effort in today game. A.Mlen also took down 4 batsman in 4 overs with 33 runs. B.Azam tried hard to chase down target but failed and Pakistan team scored only 173 runs in 19.3 overs by losing all player and lost this game.

The match situation was done when Abbas Afridi came to the hattrick ball because after that the other Pakistani bowlers were impressed with him and they also wanted to do this and they did, but he went to the hat rick ball so he could not do hattrick but after the next to next ball he afford a six and next ball to the six he afford a four so all thing was clear and New Zealand team didn't think that we are under-pressure but on the next over Haris Rauf see them his bowling. Pakistan team played well in this innings.

But in the later part of the 2nd innings, they fail to bat well and were unable to chase this target which they should have. Baber Azam made 66 runs while Fakhar Zaman made 50 runs but after that none of the Pakistan batsmen was able to score anything and once again it was a batting failure from the Pakistan team end.

New Zealand won the 2nd T20I against Pakistan by 21 runs. A very good effort from the New Zealand bowlers to restrict Pakistan's batting lineup to 173 runs. Tim Southee was spot-on with his bowling change. New Zealand bowlers bowled in good channels. Winning the toss and choosing to bowl first was a bad decision, especially after the 1st T20I performance. Not introducing Iftikhar for a couple of overs was another big blunder. I think they should change the batting positions of Iftikhar and Azam Khan. Good to see Babar scoring some runs; this will boost his confidence level.

Pakistan team won the toss and decided to bowl only for the target. But the New Zealand team batted brilliantly and played really brilliantly as a result of which they were able to score 193 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. New Zealand team won the 2nd T20 match due to improvement in their bowling and batting performance. New Zealand team gave the best batting performance as Finn Allen was able to score more runs for him. We have seen that in the first T20 match too, Finn Allen had excellent chatting due to which the New Zealand team was able to win the match. However, the Pakistan team came into the field to chase down the target of 195 runs, losing wickets at the start which put them under pressure. Although Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman all the other players did not bat very well, if any one player could have batted well then it would not have been possible for Pakistan team to achieve today. If Pakistan team had not lost all the wickets then today if they could have put in a good batting performance in the last minute the match would have been theirs but unfortunately they lost by 173 runs losing all the wickets.

A brilliant game by the Blackcaps! The result was just as expected. Congratulations to New Zealand for confirming 2-0 lead in the five-match series! Finn Allen's excellent batting and Adam Milne's outstanding bowling applied the brakes to Pakistan's chase. Although New Zealand's fielding was subpar with many dropped catches, they still managed to win the match. This highlights that Pakistan missed opportunities and Shaheen Afridi continues struggled against the Kiwis. Despite Babar Azam's efforts to chase the target, he couldn't maintain it under pressure conditions.

[noormcs5]

They could not chase down the target of 226 runs in the first match and they also could not chase down 194 runs in today's match. I think their batting failure was the main reason for the loss. Two top order batsmen were defeated in today's match. However When a batsman like Mohammad Rizwan fails to score, it is not too late to guess that Pakistan will lose. But a good innings by Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman gave hope for the match. But after their fall no one else could keep importance in the match. All but 3 players returned with single digit scores. 5 match series losing 2 match in a row. If Pakistan can't win the next match then this series will be lost. From now Pakistan will have no option to win every match.

Without showing any batting performances, the Pakistan team could not any matches. Their batsmen needs to understand their roles and play accordingly. A team who only performs well in bowling but always fail in batting, will find it very hard to win matches.

In this match, Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't take any wickets, I don't know why the player who became a captain always lost their foam. You can see Babar Azam who played very well in 2019 before their captaincy, I know he also played very well in 2020 and in 2021 under his captaincy but after some time, he lost their foam, and before him, Sarfraz had the same situation, and not only from Paista, this same situation come to the Virat Kohli, when he was a captain. Some players are good without captaincy and in the search of captaincy they lost their form.

India  vs  Afghanistan

India won the toss and decided to field against Afghanistan. In the first match as well, India got an excellent victory by fielding first. India easily won the target of 159 runs given by Afghanistan. India's chances of victory are high in today's match as well.

Virat Kohli was not in the squad for the first match. Virat Kohli has been added to the squad as a replacement for Tilak Verma in today's match. It is expected that India will not face any problem to win today's match as well. Indian batsmen are in very good form now. Also Afghanistan's best bowler Rashid Khan is not in the squad. Afghanistan's bowling attack would have been stronger if Rashid Khan was in the squad.

Afghanistan is batting very well. Especially Gulbadin Naib is batting very responsibly. Naib is unbeaten after collecting 50 runs off just 28 balls. And at the end of 10 overs Afghanistan collected 81 runs losing 3 wickets. We have not seen better batting than captain Ibrahim Zadran and Azmatullah Omarzai. Ibrahim Zadran scored only 8 runs from 10 balls. Omarzai got out with 2 runs from 5 balls. Axar Patel's bowling was very controlled today. He gave only 15 runs and took one wicket in 3 overs. If they can deliver a target of around 180, Afghanistan have a chance to win.

No I don't think it's a bad decision to bowl first after toss winning but thier batter played irresponsibly and lose important wickets at early stage which definitely execute pressure on rest of batter and due to that reason they played alot dot balls and to recover the done damage they goes for big shots and as a result lose his most of wickets and lose the important match. Also some bad line and length from Paksitani bowler give Allen a bit room and he utilize it properly with a phenomenal innings and that the point where pressure were mouthing on paksitan while compared to them NewZeland bowling were quite decent and impressive which cost paksitan a very disappointed defeat.
Anyway I really enjoyed baber Azam classical inning after a long time, his Consecutive 2 half centuries will give him extra confidence so that he can recover his form soon and set his rythm again .

[elevates]

Afghanistan batting has been exceptional today because of Gulbadin Naib. This is one of his best batting if I remember it correctly. He got his half century and when he wanted to get more runs to the scoreboard he got out. I decent batting by him with an achievement of 57 runs against India. The problem with the Afghanistan batting is that they are good against pace bowling but are not that good against spin. It is an active learning cycle for them and given a year or more they would understand spin bowling.

India won the toss and decided to field against Afghanistan. In the first match as well, India got an excellent victory by fielding first. India easily won the target of 159 runs given by Afghanistan. India's chances of victory are high in today's match as well.

Virat Kohli was not in the squad for the first match. Virat Kohli has been added to the squad as a replacement for Tilak Verma in today's match. It is expected that India will not face any problem to win today's match as well. Indian batsmen are in very good form now. Also Afghanistan's best bowler Rashid Khan is not in the squad. Afghanistan's bowling attack would have been stronger if Rashid Khan was in the squad.

Afghanistan again lose his most of wickets before scoring any big significant score, thier main player like gurbaz and IbraHim lose his wickets before adding his contribution to total target now the only hope for Afghanistan will be his older player Nabi who is currently holding charge on crease. According to Afghanistan batting previous performance and remaining overs they will scored 150 which is I think not enough Target against a top class team like India also they Kohli available too for this match which raised thier moral too. I am quite sure that indian will not only won the second match but will easily won the rest of the matches too. But if by chance Afghanistan won the match against India it will be the biggest upset of the year because they not even win a single match against them.

[Haunebu]

Looks like Afghanistan are screwed in the ongoing 2nd T20 since the target is way too small for a team like India.

5 match series losing 2 match in a row. If Pakistan can't win the next match then this series will be lost. From now Pakistan will have no option to win every match.

That's true. New Zealand pretty much comfortably won the series at this point if you ask me, but Pakistan could still win 1 or 2 matches as long as they play more carefully going forward.

Pakistan vs New Zealand

So we all know that today is the second T20I match between these two teams. In the first match both teams played well. Fisrt New Zealand set a target of 227 runs. Pakistan tried really well but unfortunately Pakistan lost all wickets on 180 runs. And in today match if Pakistan will play the first turn and they will make almost 190+ runs. Then there will be the chances of winning of Pakistan. I hope Pakistan will tie this series today with 1-1. So let's see what will happen?  

In the first T20 match Pakistan lost in 46 runs how they played well? they lost 5 wickets to collect last 20 runs, Pakistani team was under pressured because New Zealand target was big. And today in 2nd T20 match Pakistan again lost, New Zealand bat first and collected 194 runs in 20 overs, and Pakistan team played worst specially their top orders can't good start. Babar Azam well played taken 66 runs from 43 balls and Fakar Zaman performance was brilliant, got half century. If their top order batsman can't make good runs i think they will never win against with New Zealand.

But if by chance Afghanistan won the match against India it will be the biggest upset of the year because they not even win a single match against them.

Afghanistan team has managed to provide a target of 173 runs. I wouldn't call it a bad target. However, since the pitch is batting friendly, I think India has a high chance of winning the target of 173 runs. Afghanistan team got off to a good start by collecting 50 runs in the first 5 overs. But their batting was very slow till 6-15 overs. They collected only 59 runs in these 10 overs. And this is where Afghanistan fell behind. If Afghanistan could have collected 80 runs in these 10 overs, then they would have been able to give a big target of 200 today. Even then, if the bowlers do well, the match will be competitive.

[jasonjm]

Afghanistan put a decent total on the board, and they have the resources to defend this total against any team. Gulbadin batted beautifully for his fifty, while Arshdeep was the pick of the bowler. That middle phase batting from the Afghan batter tilted the game toward India. India is a very balanced team, and the inclusion of Virat Kohli provided them further lift. I think India should easily chase down this total by looking at the depth and form of their batting. Virat Kohli is on the charge straightaway. If they want to win this match or at least for a close contest, Afghanistan should bowl with intent and in good line and length.

It's ok to me if India loses today, will keep series alive until 3rd game, otherwise there is no charm left to watch last game

No way Man...
There can be no question of India defeat in today's match because India can never lose this target of 172 runs in a venue where Afghanistan can give a target of 172 runs. But if some players of Afghanistan tried to do better then the runs would have been above 190 runs but Mohammed Nabi 14(18) and Najibullah 23(21) cannot be such style of runs in a T20 match. Had both of them played an aggressive innings, the run score would have been closer to 190 runs. But in today's match, India could have won even if the target was 190 runs because they had already collected 75 runs in seven overs, so no matter how well Afghanistan performed today, there will be no comparison with this performance for India.

AFG proved they are better cricket team in the WC itself, so we don't have to keep underestimate them all the time. The target is below par for this venue and its because not bad batting from AFG, it also due to some good bowling from the Indian bowling unit and they kept taking wickets in the regular intervals pushed them to play less aggressive than they used to be.

Rohit, Again out for duck.

Jaiswal utilizing the opportunity very well and Dube again showing his six hitting ability.

No one mentioned about Sri Lanka vs zimbabwe, 1st T20I is also ongoing today? After the ODI series over recently, this the 1st t20 between zimbabwe and Sri Lanka which is Still on progress. Today Zimbabwe scored a fair run after the disester performance in last match with SL and 143 is final scored by Zim. I know this is not so big score before SL team but it suppose to be, Zimbabwe developed themselves more than before. Sikandar Raza did 62 which is biggest score among SL batsman. And SL is still batting for archiving the Target given by Zimbabwe. 61-4 for in 10 overs. Top order batsman are out, so it would be bit difficult for SL to win today.

1 st t20 game between Sri Lanka team vs Zimbabwe team. I think Sri Lanka teams is much powerful then Zimbabwe team and Sri Lanka easily win this series and also win this game from Zimbabwe team. Sri Lanka team got a opportunity to choose bat or bowl by win the toss and SL team chose to bowl first. At this moment, Sri Lanka teams need 46 runs in 26 balls and this would be complete easily if Sri Lanka focus on their batting lineup and pick good runs in low balls. Zimbabwe team scored 146 runs in 20 overs by losing 5 wickets and this target was normal not much high or small. Zimbabwe team put a pressure on Sri Lanka by good bowling lineup and S Raza leader took down 3 wickets now in 4 overs with 13 runs. D. Shanaka and W. Hasaranga batsmans is batting on pitch W. Hasaranga scored o runs and D. Shanaka scored 15 runs 10 balls with two 4s. A.Mathews batsman effort was good in all other batsman, he scored 31 runs in 30 balls with two 4s and one 6s. From Zimbabwe, S.Raza also scored well and he scores red 62 runs in 42 balls with six 4s and two 6s. If Zimbabwe team win this game S Raza definitely get a player of game award.

That middle phase batting from the Afghan batter tilted the game toward India. India is a very balanced team, and the inclusion of Virat Kohli provided them further lift. I think India should easily chase down this total by looking at the depth and form of their batting. Virat Kohli is on the charge straightaway. If they want to win this match or at least for a close contest, Afghanistan should bowl with intent and in good line and length.

India won the 2nd T20 match is a good style and also won the series with this win.  Afghanistan did score a decent score of 172 runs and lost all wickets in the process. Gulbadin Naib made 57 runs and was the highest score among the New Zealand team. I thought this was a decent score but if their batsmen had batted a bit more responsibility, they could have scored a few 10 to 30 more runs and that might had made the difference.

India chased this score in only the 16th over which shows that India was in full control in this match. Yashasvi Jaiswal made 68 runs and Shivam Dube made 63 runs and these two innings at a good run rate were enough for the Indian team to chase this score. Both of them scored at the strike rate of 200, which was too good to watch.

The final T20 match will be played at Bengaluru, on 17th January but the result of this match will not matter much. India already grabbing the series.  

[Popkon6]

The batting performance of the Indian team was actually very strong as the Afghanistan team scored 172 runs losing all the wickets. But the Indian team met the target given by Afghanistan by losing only 4 wickets. Shivam Dube joined the team as a new player and has been performing very well for two consecutive matches. He is a youngster in batting form and performed well today against Afghanistan team. If the Afghanistan team wants to win, it must be experienced in terms of both bowling and batting performance.

The pitch was completely batting friendly. So India won't have any problem to win today's match. The target was not small. Even then, India won very easily. The way Afghanistan started their innings, it looked like they would collect 200-plus today. But in the end, Afghanistan team gave the target of 173 runs.

India scored 174 runs in just 15.4 overs losing just four wickets. Rohit Sharma lost form. Rohit's performance was poor in both the matches. Yashashvi Jaiswal and Shivman Dube's excellent batting saw India easily reach the victory target. Jaiswal was dismissed for 68 off just 34 balls. And DUbe was unbeaten on 63 off 32 balls. India won the first two matches of the three-match series very easily. It is expected that India will win the last match as well.
