T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Also, the Kiwis rested Mitchell and Kane Mama is injured. Overall Pakistan should be worried about it and do some soul searching after this consolidated win.

This is their format and they can dominate almost everyone in T-20 format. With new batting talent coming in, which is suited for t-20, mix it with experienced batters. Plus so much quality in the seam bowling lineup. They have almost every ingredient (spin department is weak and at times looks flat though) to succeed and become a powerhouse in the T-20 format. 

The main issue with Pakistan is there inconsistent performance. They lost this series 4-1 but that doesn't mean there upcoming world cup journey is over. You may find them in knock out stage or even final of T20 world cup. In last T20 WC, they lost in group stages to Zimbabwe but concluded there journey by playing the final.
Having said that this is something not to be proud of. Pakistan is playing cricket for decades and after years of cricket they can't produce a team that can give some consistency. 
Now we have more drama coming in PCB as Zaka resigned as PCB chief. Now wait for some new surprise.

Well, let's be honest. We all know how they reached the finals. It's utterly shameful to take the cover of kudrat ka nimaj when team is good.

IMO they underperform in the T-20 despite having excellent combinations. They might be shit in other formats but in T-20 Pakistan can potentially field 2 competetive teams.  There is more than enough talent in the country for the T-20 format. They only have to avoid favoritism, politics and give importance to merits, also stop dehumanizing and listen to players' needs (Rauf).

Finally Pakistan won a single T20 match after 4 time defeated by New Zealand. Today Pakistan made 134 run, thats okey but new Zealand team all out within 92 run, that is wondering. Pakistan batsman Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan Played good but not expected from Babar Azam made 13 run only. Nz all bolwes got 2 wickets except Mitchell Santner. From team Nz, Glenn Phillips, Finn Allen did more run among all players where most of player can't face more than 1 over bowling. Well its glad for Pakistan, atleast won 1match

Here lies the secret of Pakistan team because there were some matches Pakistan could have easily won but in those matches Pakistan could not win due to poor performance of both batting and bowling. Again in today's match Pakistan ended the innings with 134 runs but in this match Pakistan managed to bowl out New Zealand only for 92 whereas in other matches Pakistan had to lose the match only because of bad bowling despite good performance. However, if Pakistan could not win against New Zealand in today's match, it would have dropped down in the T20 ranking. Maybe a red alert could have been issued for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in the future but Pakistan's victory in today's match will probably not bring any such bad situation.

Finally Pakistan team got their desired win after long wait. In the fifth T20 match, Pakistan bowlers bowled brilliantly and their part-time bowler Iftekhar Ahmed gave an incredible performance in this match. Iftekhar Ahmed took three wickets with 34 runs in four overs and Shahensha Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz took two wickets each.

Although Pakistan won this match, they could not bat as expected their batting performance did not improve. Apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Faqar Zaman, none of the pakistan team managed to score 30 plus runs. As T20 World Cup is about to start, all Pakistani players need to improve their batting performance otherwise they will continue to play poorly in T20 World Cup.

Pakistan Outstanding bowling performance in 5th T20 match against New Zealand. New Zealand all out in just 92 runs in 17.2 overs credit to Pakitani bowlers for cleen bold New Zealand 3 wickets picked by iftkhar ahmad and two wickets picked by Muhammad Nawaz. Shaheen Shah afradi captain of Pakistan team also picked two important wickets and all out new Zealand team but New Zealand win this series for his outstanding batting and bowling performance by 4-1. The Player of the Match is Iftikhar Ahmed from Pakistan for his amazing all round performance they score just 5 runs but they picked the 3 crusial wickets by just giving 24 runs and helped Pakistan to win match after 4 consecutive loss in the series.

Pakistan's bowlers showcased brilliance, successfully defending the lowest men's T20I total in New Zealand. While their bowling was impressive, concerns continues about their batting performance. Despite the series not yielding many positives, this win could be a turning point for Pakistan. However even following this victory, the body language of Pakistan players looks were fractured, indicating a need for time to heal and move forward. Congratulations to the Black Caps on securing a 4-1 victory.

If Pakistan's bowlers had bowled the way they bowled in the last T20 match, the picture of this series could have been different if they had bowled like this throughout the series. But unfortunately Pakistan's bowlers could not bowl that way throughout the series. Pakistan team almost lost four matches in a row but they came back in relief by winning the last match. Iftikhar Ahmed was Man of the Match and The man of the series has been New Zealand's budding player Finn Allen who has batted brilliantly throughout the T20 series.

Pakistan set a target of 158 runs in the fourth T20I but managed to dismiss three New Zealand top-order batsmen early in that match. Shaheen Shah Afridi managed to take three wickets. But thereafter none of Pakistan's bowlers could take any wickets and in the end New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets. New Zealand's Finn Allen scored a solitary 137 runs in the previous match, the third match, and Pakistan failed miserably despite chances to get the batsman out several times. However, there were several failures in the Pakistan team in this series as none of the Pakistani batsmen except Babar Azam could perform consistently well in the first three matches. The failure of the top order and failure of the pacers to bowl controlled balls all forced Pakistan to lose the series by 4-1.

I dunno. They seem shit in all formats these days and the primary reason is heavy political interference which is clearly affecting them team morale that has already been dropping due to constant losses in recent times.

Political interference needs to decrease and their new players need to perform more consistently for their team to improve across all formats.

When Pakistan's target was 135 runs, we naturally thought that maybe the fifth T20 match was going to be badly beaten by Pakistan. But when New Zealand came to bat in the second innings, we realized that batting on this wicket is not so easy. Gradually New Zealand kept losing wickets and Pakistan bowlers started putting pressure on New Zealand's next batsmen thus creating pressure and at one stage Pakistan completely overwhelmed New Zealand and Pakistan went into the driving position of the match. New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals as Pakistan bowled out New Zealand before scoring 100 to secure their fifth T20I win. Pakistan saved the honor by winning the fifth match but this victory was not enough for them as they definitely should have won more against New Zealand.

If Pakistan squad had displayed today match performance in previous matches of this competition and surely Pakistan squad would have won some of those matches and also win this competition. Pakistan squad lost this competition with four matches and Pakistan just emerged victory in one match. The question was that Why New Zealand squad lost this today match. At the beginning of this match, Pakistan squad has begun this match first batting inning and their performance in their inning was very fantastic but in bowling inning was too much impressive then batting inning. First two starter batters of New Zealand squad was unable to display actual performance Finn Allen was cleared out when he collected 21 scores and other starter batter Rachin Ravindra was bowled for only one score. Some more batter like Glenn Phillips and Will Young performance was also very bad.

If Pakistan bowlers were able to win the match for them in Christchurch today, this does not mean that they should have won all the previous matches too. New Zealand were the better team in this series and they truly deserve this win.

The question was that Why New Zealand squad lost this today match.

One reason can be that New Zealand batsmen and team does not took this match seriously and hence they lost it. Even this match was going in New Zealand's way but somehow Pakistan managed to pull back. By the way, New Zealand should have won this one to make the series 5-0. There is a difference in the win when you win by 4-1 and when you win by 5-0. A whitewash is something special and is remembered for a long time but New Zealand lost this chance.

Pakistan was finally able to win the last match of the series lol. I honestly thought that Pakistan might not even win a single match. But at least they got one. And I have to say they have played really well in the last match. Did not look anything like the first four matches that they have played.

And yes I absolutely agree that the biggest problem for Pakistan right now is the inconsistency. If Pakistan was more consistent, they could have had a far better result in the world cup as well. Even in the world cup, we saw Pakistan being very inconsistent. A problem for Pakistan is that the squad that they have is really not very reliable.  It is not certain that if the star player fails, the others will rise up to the occasion.

Yeah, Pakistan do the best in the last match after losing four matches consistently. I did not understand why the team did not get a single match except this last match. Pakistan's team is unpredictable no one can predict their next move sometimes they are too good and sometimes they have their worst performance. In the 5 matches what I got is that in one match they were very close to the win but they also lost that match and in the rest of the matches there was a small margin between them. The New Zealand team is also not weak they may be stronger than the PAK team and in this t20 match, they played well and deserved this win.

Only few months left for T20 WC so my guess is NZ wanted to test their bench strength in a series they have nothing to lose after completely dominated the Pakistan in T20 as well as in Test. Look like Pakistan managed to win this and stayed away from the humiliation but there is still lot of improvement needed in their team if they really want to win T20 WC and Pakistan is completely capable of doing it but they need right combination and regain the form in the PSL which starts in Feb 17.

In last match T20, Pakistan won the toss and elected batting. Pakistan batsman makes 1 run in 1 over and new Zealand no any wicket against Pakistan batsman. This is the bad started for Pakistan batsman. New Zealand bowler out the Pakistan batsman in the fifth ball of the 2 over. This is the first achievement for new Zealand team. Once time again new Zealand bowler out the Pakistan batsman in the fivth ball of the 10 over. This is the second achievement for new Zealand team. Pakistan batsman makes 53 run in 10 over and 2 outs. Pakistan batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Pakistan batsman makes 134 run in 20 over and 8 outs. This is the target for new Zealand batsman. This is the easy target for new Zealand batsman. New Zealand batsman can not complete this target and lose the match.

The New Zealand team won by dominating the first 4 matches. New Zealand players performed well and won every match. Both Pakistan's batting and bowling were quite weak. So it is not a shame that New Zealand lost the last match.

We did not see a good performance from the Pakistani batsmen in the last match as well. They gave a target of only 135 runs. But they won because of controlled bowling by the bowlers. Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz picked up two wickets each. And Iftikhar Ahmed managed to pick up 3 wickets. If the Pakistani bowlers had been able to bowl so well in the previous matches, Pakistan would not have lost the series so badly.

This is shameful win for them after having four thrashing loses with many records are broken in these four matches by New Zealand Spelling mistake team and surely time to sit and think about their future as if they are not going to have positive changes then surely they could be going down like we have few teams in international cricket in this win we still have poor batting from them as they were able to score just 134 and mostly their batsmen not able to reach any good score.

In bowling we have some improvement but still for the better results and improve performance they need to work on fielding and other problems which are giving them setback in last few months, and they are fail to perform like they needed in big events and SENA countries specially in Australia and New Zealand where they have worst results in last few years.

I never have any doubt in New Zealand team and their quality but sadly injuries having always big impact on their performance in big events, and mostly they lost like crap even they are mostly having good performance at home in bilateral series but big events and away series having never been ideal end for them which needs to be fixed now they completely thrash Pakistan at home before world cup which is giving them good booster but now IPL is surely having some issues as their many players are involved and this can bring changes.

If they have no problem then surely they are going to be in last four for this coming event because their preparation is good, and they are having good players which can give them wins against any team in this format.

Yes you are right injuries have affected the New Zealand team. It is not good that they have a hard time when they play in other countries or in big tournaments even they usually do well in games against one other team at home. But, they did really well against Pakistan before the World Cup. You also right  here that some of the New Zealand players will play in the IPL which might make things a bit harder for them. But I think they have prepared well and have talented players so they should do well in the upcoming event.

Durdanto Dhaka vs Chittagong Challengers

Two matches of Bangladesh Premier League will be held today in which Durant Dhaka and Chittagong Challengers will face each other in the first match. The two teams facing each other today have won one match each in the past. Earlier Chittagong Challenger won against Sylhet Sixers. Similarly Duranto Dhaka won against Comilla Victorians. Shariful Islam was Man of the Match due to his outstanding bowling for Duranto Dhaka. We are waiting to see whether Shariful Islam can continue his good bowling and can take his team to the brink of victory.

Chattogram Challengers VS Durdanto Dhaka

Today is going to be the fifth match of Bangladesh Premier League, the match will be Chattogram Challengers vs Durdanto Dhaka. Today's match is going to be very interesting. However we have seen in the previous 4 matches that the team that batted later won the match. So even today I think the team that bats later will have more chances to win. In today's match, the team that wins the toss will decide to bowl. I think the team batting first will have to target 180 plus runs to win today's match. If the team batting first stops at the target of 150-160 runs, their chances of winning will be very low. And after few hours the game will start. Let's see if the team batting first can surprise today.

I don't think the team that bats later will win today. We should all keep in mind that cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty which team wins is proven on the field. The two teams that will face each other today have won one match each in the past and are in a strong position in the points table. Today I want to put Chittagong Challenger ahead of Durant Dhaka because the squad of Chittagong Challengers is much stronger than Durant Dhaka. I am still looking forward to see the duel between these two teams today.
