T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[fuguebtc]

In yesterday's match, when Babar Azam completed his 32nd half-century which was never made by any player in cricket but Babar Azam completed his 32 half-centuries but when he completed it, he didn't celebrate it because he knew that the match was in a tough situation.

In this inning, the Pakistan team breaks their own records, but cannot win the matches of this series. Thats the only good outcome of this series otherwise the Pakistan batting was a big disappointment.

In the first match, Saim Ayub broke the record of a player from Pakistan who played in the past and now he was retired it was the record for the most catches in an inning and now it goes to Saim Ayub, he took 4 catches in an inning, and in yesterday's match, Rizwan broke a record of Muhammad Hafeez to hitting most sixes in T20I on his career, Rizwan hit 76 sixes in his career and M.Hafeez hit 76 sixes in past when he was playing cricket.

I don't understand how these things are actually something that Pakistan is going to be very happy about. Because they have lost 2 matches in the series so far. And now they will have to win all the 3 matches that are left in the series if they want to win the series. And I think Pakistan really needs to work on their batting. It was a very good pitch in my opinion.  They could not have wickets in hand to actually accelerate. And they could not play out the whole 20 overs as well. That is another problem for them. They will have to give importance to making big partnerships consistently. I honestly don't think they will be able to win three matches in a row.

Babar Azam and Fakhar are the greatest partnership ever, in the World Cup Fakhar and Babar Azam didn't give any chance to New Zealand and this time, they also did this but after some time, when Fakhar Zaman completed his 50 so he was out on the out swing, the ball was touched to the bat lower part and it went to the wickets, Babar Azam always needs a good partner even the partner don't play but at least he was set to play for more time because Azam Khan also can't play good, and the other players are also not playing well.

Pakistan no doubt have to play well in the next matches in order to come back in this series. One more loss and it will be all over for them. They can't afford any more loses now. Also, if Pakistan lost the next match, it will making the rest of the matches, uninteresting ones.

Hobart Hurricanes Vs Melbourne Stars
Today Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars faced each other in the 38th match of the Big Bash League. Despite winning the toss and deciding to bowl, Melbourne Stars could not put up much resistance against Hobart Hurricanes. Hobart Hurricanes managed to score 86 runs in the opening pair, extending their score to 187/8. Melbourne Stars' opening came under pressure when both batsmen were dismissed for 31 runs. Middle-order batsmen Maxwell, Webster, stoinis tried for the match but they could not win the match and suffered a seven run defeat. Both teams' wins and losses have no effect on the points table because four teams are already confirmed for the next round.

Many may regret a match when a team can't secure a win despite playing well against a big score. Today Hobart Hurricanes was very close to chasing 187 runs Melbourne Stars they dominated the entire match even they had enough wickets but they could not convert the match to win for just 7 runs. I think it is nothing but failure of the batsman. The batsmen's scores in the 18th and 19th overs were very small. Melbourne Stars' total of just 5 in the 18th over and 8 in the 19th over almost assured defeat for the team but the last over they scored 16. The number of points and matches between the two teams is almost equal. Both teams won 4 matches each.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 match will be held at Sri Lanka's home ground. Although currently Sri Lanka team has performed very well against Zimbabwe in the first T20 match. Accordingly we think Sri Lanka will perform well to win the second T20I, but Zimbabwe can improve their game to win. Although Zimbabwe had a good batting performance in the first T20 match but unfortunately they could not put pressure on Sri Lanka at the last minute due to which they bowed out. If Zimbabwe team can put Sri Lanka under pressure in the second T20 match then it is definitely possible to win the match, and winning the second T20 match is very important for Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe does not win the second T20 match then the T20 series will be lost, so the players of the Zimbabwean team must have a good batting and bowling performance against Sri Lanka if the series is to go. Both Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe will try to play well to win the match and if Sri Lanka wins the match then they will definitely be able to win the series.

Hobart Hurricanes got a good start of 86 runs from there openers Wade and McDermott. It's only because of Hobart Hurricanes openers that they were able to score 187 runs. Dan Lawrence got 4 wickets and was most successful bowler from Melbourne Stars. Melbourne Stars kept losing wickets regularly while they chased 188 runs target. None of there batsmen played a big innings required to win the game.

In yesterday game, we have good performance from the Pakistan but they still fail to win the match as they lost wickets quickly and create pressure for their own next batsmen which hurt them at the end while Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman were at the crease there were chance for them to win the match but poor selection of shots and having few wrong selections also hurt them while few selections are happened just because of Australian test series with few are due to parchi which are surely going to hurt them in long run.

New Zealand done good job in both games and their bowlers are doing impressive job which helps them for having lead in this series by 2–0 and now Pakistan needs to give their best if they want to come back into this series otherwise things can go one-sided for the home side after having this lead.

Fakhar Zaman when batting as an opener I don't think he can play good cricket on the opening side. So, the position he is coming now recently is quite good and he has still the stamina to provide some good shots all over the ground, as we saw yesterday how amazingly he has hit these sixes. Probably the Pakistani team is making some mistakes in their bowling attack. Because they have conceded much runs in the first overs after that their batsmen fails to recover them.

Yesterday India won their 2nd T20 match again with Afg & coincidencly they defeated afg by 6 wkts again. Even Top batsman Rohit sharma out with zero run in last 2 matches, which is also wondering to me. Afghanistan started their batting with relax mode and so they Crossed 100 run in 14 overs and then they became aggressive in last 6 overs. As a result they made 172 run as target, Gulbadin Naib did 57 run. In India team, Yashasvi Jaiswal & Shivam Dube both players were so energetic and they scored 68 & 63 run respectively with 200 SR rate. And their extra ordinary effort made india win.

ZImbabwe vs Sri Lanka

The second T20 match of the Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe series will be played today. The first match was very competitive. Zimbabwe set a target of 144 runs, although the target was not big as the performance of the Sri Lankan players was erratic, so the team faced big problems to win this match. They had to wait till the last ball to win the match. And I would say Sri Lanka were very lucky to beat Zimbabwe in the first match.

Today's match is expected to be very competitive. If the Zimbabwean players are confident, I think they can beat Sri Lanka. However, the bowlers must perform well. The performance of the batsmen of both the teams is quite erratic.

Someone from Zimbabwe needs to stand strong and make big score, it can on chasing or it can be batting first. Only then it is possible to compete with Sri Lanka. Already Sri Lanka will have its home ground support, if Zimbabwe were able to score 180+ runs batting first then they might have a chance to win after hard fight.

As of the current combination, it looks like there is no place for KL Rahul and Gill in playing XI.

Though, I sense Jaiswal and Rinku have guaranteed spot in squad.

There is fierce competition between Jaiswal and Gill for the opening slot. I am confident about these two making it into the team, but I am unsure whether they will be part of the playing squad. Rinku should be part of the team down the order and I am now unsure whether Hardik Pandya would be part of the team if Shivam Dubey continues to play in the same manner. The best way to evaluate these two would be IPL and considering the long period in which the IPL would be played the selectors would be able to evaluate correctly and find the right guy suited at that position. I somehow feel that Rohit Sharma would be the captain of the team playing in the T20 World Cup.

From looks of it Jaiswal looks better choice, Gill hasn't been in form since long, yes he did make 90 something in ODIWC other than that nothing much, appears he has been distracted with the glamour that has been showered upon him lately, Gill can play one-down slot as he did in test series but sounds unlikely, and it might mess things further up for player positions, there will also be Surya coming at third position and Kohli there. So yeah, either Jaiswal or Gill only of them is going to be in playing 11.

Hardik is definitely going to be there unless injured. One of best all rounders there is.

Rohit hasn't been performing well since WC loss, I dunno if they should may be make Kohli captain, someone who doesn't carry past burden along with him. I know I'm going along the lines that Rohit said in press conference after ODIWC final loss, "now I'll be bad captain" — but well this is how I feeel.

The performances of the batsmen of both Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka have been erratic. They don't have any player in their squad who is playing consistently well. or which can be relied upon. Every player's performance is unstable. One of Zimbabwe's most important players SIkandar Raza is also not in good form. So I said the result of this match will depend more on the performance of their bowlers. Because chances of seeing high scores are very low in this match. I don't see any possibility of the target going above 160. So if the bowlers do well, the chances of winning will increase.

You might not have seen the first T20 match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe which is said to have one of their best players Sikander Raja good form. Sikandar Raja performed brilliantly in the first T20I scoring 62 runs off 42 balls and taking three wickets for just 13 runs in 4 overs. Sikandar Raja showed excellent all-round skills in this match. But apart from that no other player in their team was seen to play well yet Zimbabwe almost won the match maybe their luck didn't help them. Sri Lanka won the match dramatically as they needed just two runs from the last ball which they managed to score and win the match.

In my point of view the Zimbabwe team is giving a tough time to Srilankan team. Means if we took a look on the last match so we will see that Srilanka lost 7 wickets and they chased the 144 runs target with 0 ball remaining. It means Zimbabwe is giving very tough time to Srilanka. Or Srilanka is taking easy Zimbabwe team perhaps. Sikandar Raza bowling was good in the last match I hope he will do his best in this match too. I think we should not underestimate the Zimbabwe team they can give us a surprise anytime.

Unlike test format or ODI, T20I can be very competitive even if two teams of uneven strength competes against each other. And in this series, I couldn't notice a large quality gap between the two sides. Both the teams are on decline and they are overdependent on individual performances. And given this, I would say that Zimbabwe did relatively well. Sri Lanka had the home advantage, but Zimbabwe did what they could. But my question is what will happen once Sikandar Raza retire? He is the backbone of Zimbabwe now.

Durban Super Giants Vs Joburg Super Kings
Durban Super Giants and Joburg Super Kings met in the seventh match of the SA20 this season. After winning the toss and going into bat, Super Giant lost four wickets to score 36 runs in 6.1overs. When I watched the match I thought the match would not go more than 120 to 130 runs. But Heinrich klaasen innings of 64 off 41 balls was instrumental in the team's score reaching 145. At first it looked like the target was very easy but no, the pitch was bowling friendly. Durban Super Giants bowlers kept the Joburg Super Kings batsmen under a lot of pressure from the start, with the Super Kings team scoring at 71/6 after 14.3 overs. Moeen Ali tried a bit but it didn't work. In the end Joburg Super Kings were 108/9 after the allotted overs and lost by 37 runs.

The 2nd T20 match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe will be played today at Colombo. If we remember the first T20 match between them was won by Sri Lankan team by three wickets. I would call that a close game and Sri Lanka managed to win that one. If Zimbabwe could play a bit more better, they can make the today’s game in their favor.
Sikandar Raza, the captain from Zimbabwe they played a nice innings in the first T20 but they all need to perform as a team in order to get the result in their favor.
Sri Lanka already won the ODI series and if they won today’s match, then it would mean that they will won the T20 series too that will keep the Zimbabwe team on a very bad setback.

Yeah, i think in the 1st match Zimbabwe's played well considering Srilanka's team because they had to fight till the last ball to win this match it was worst performance. If Zimbabwe can focus in their batting line i think still they're able to win against Sri Lanka team, but the problem is there is no consistency in their batting so they can't make a big score. I don’t expect Zimbabwe can win in 2nd T20.

Zimbabwe played quite well in first T20I, the match went till last ball. Six runs were required on last two balls and Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Angelo Mathews in 19.4 over. Dushmantha Chameera scored 6 vital runs on last two balls to win the game for Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe team is losing almost every match they play and in last T20 match they have a chance to break that losing streak. This is 3 match series and Zimbabwe still have 2 more chances to win a game.
