T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[DanWalker]

Sri Lanka collected 143 runs in 14 overs. The team is collecting more than 10 runs per over. And since Sri Lanka have lost just 3 wickets, Sri Lanka are more likely to win so far. Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 60 off 30 balls. Almost every batsman in the Sri Lankan squad is in good form. So even if the target is big, they might be able to win.

Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran has used 6 of his bowlers. But we don't see any bowler bowling better than him. If this continues, Sri Lanka will win the series 3-0.

Afghanistan team improved a lot in their batting today but I think Sri Lanka still have a chance to win this match. The Sri Lankan team currently needs 40 runs from 14 balls and they still have five wickets to spare. Kushal Mendis and Dasun Shanaka are batting at the crease at the moment. If the Sri Lankan team's opening batsman Pathum Nissanka had not retired hard, maybe this match could have taken another turn. Kushal Mendis has just completed his half century, he will look to open his arms from now on, maybe we will finally see a dramatic victory in this match.

Today, the Afghanistan team managed to win because of their good performance till the end keeping the wicket under control. I was hopeful for the Afghanistan team as they only lost in consecutive ODIs and T20Is but in the third T20I Afghanistan team gave a befitting reply. The opening two batsmen, Hazratullah and Gurbaz, who performed well in the power play, played a major role in today's victory. Did very well to control the wicket from the start till the last. And bowled well but Sri Lankan team lost today, tried hard to win but couldn't.

I would not say that the performance of the Afghanistan bowlers was poor. They tried their best to bowl controlled. Even then the bowlers gave away a lot of runs. And it is very difficult for the bowlers to bowl controlled on such a batting friendly pitch.

Sri Lankan bowlers gave 21 extra runs. And that's why I think the team has fallen behind. Afghanistan's bowlers gave only 8 extra runs. 6 wides and one no ball by the Afghanistan bowlers. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled 11 wides. Mohammad Nabi took two wickets with 35 runs in 4 overs.

IPL 2024 schedule is partially out and it looks like it's CSK vs RCB weirdly instead of CSK vs GT on March 22 which is the opening match. Excited to watch Dhoni vs Kohli once again and the venue is somewhere in India.

But again these are blips when looking at the big picture because when the time comes, both bowling lineups will come on top with an excellent bowling performance and bamboozle the opposition team.

Yup. The other teams need to give it everything in order to put up a good fight against these beasts in the T20 WC.

Team AFG is getting better and better in the white ball cricket, today  another exciting last over win for them just by 3 runs. They are pretty equipped to face the big team in the T20 WC for sure. Even though SL won the series by 2-1, AFG came very close in the first match too and lost only by 4 runs so they will toom all the positive and will start preparing their WC journey.

Yes Afghanistan team is improving day by day.The Afghanistan team is known more for its bowling than its batting. Rashid Khan Mujibur Rahman of Afghanistan they are world class spin bowler maybe Rashid Khan is the number one leg spin bowler in the world. In this series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Rashid Khan was not included in the Afghanistan team for which the Afghanistan team was quite weak. Afghanistan's batting and bowling performance in the third T20 against Sri Lanka boosted their confidence as they managed to win at least one match.

The Sri Lankan batsmen worked very hard and struggled.  And scored up to 206 runs.  But the target could not be fulfilled by them.  Sri Lanka could have won the match if their batsmen had picked up the early pace.  But their luck did not favor them and they lost the match. And I had said earlier that this match belongs to the Afghanistan team.  And they won this match.  Their bowler worked and struggled the most at the end.  And stopped the run of the Sri Lankan batsmen and forced them to lose.  And they will win.My congratulations to the Afghanistan team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.  And their performance was very good.  Due to which these matches are won.

No never No third T20 match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan was not held today This match was held yesterday i.e. February twenty one. Afghanistan not only lost the ODI series but also lost the Test series and T20I series but they managed to win the third T20I match against Sri Lanka. In the third T20 match every batsman of Afghanistan looked patient and batted intelligently as a result of which Afghanistan team managed to score 206 runs in this match. Still the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team tried their best to chase this run maybe with a little more heard hitting batting they would have been able to win the match.

New Zealand vs Australia second T20 match will be played tomorrow New Zealand team batted very well in the first match but lost the first T20 match against Australia. In the second match, New Zealand must try to bat and bowl better. In the first match, the bowling was a little worse than the batting of the New Zealand team, due to which Australia won the first T20 match. Second T20 match If the New Zealand team can maintain their batting consistency and make bowling a little more positive, then maybe they can get against can win Australia in the second T20 match. However, the Australian team has been in great form since the start of the 2023 World Cup and has performed strongly in every game. So it is expected that in the second T20 match, the match against New Zealand will definitely be a tight fight.

A thrilling win for Afghanistan, a consolidatory too. Sri Lanka won the only test, clean swiped ODIs and was about to clean swipe the T20 too.
It was a high scoring innings from Afghanistan with Hazaratulla and Rahmanulla opening the batting with a good partnership. Sri Lanka nearly chased it but the retirement due to injury to Pathum Nissanka was a bad luck for them. He had scored 60 off 30 before voluntarily leaving the crease.
Anyway, Sri Lanka won't be disappointed as they had shown full dominance over the Afghan team and Afghan have reasons for their decreasing performance.

Sri Lanka came close to winning the T20 series, but it was Afghanistan who secured the victory, ending their tour on a high note. Hazaratulla and Rahmanulla provided a strong start, paving the way for the win. It's a positive end to Afghanistan's tour of Sri Lanka, and hopefully, it signals a resurgence for the team.

Yesterday we saw a lot of hard fought action between Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka. The result of this match was full of tension till the last ball and it was uncertain which team would win till the last ball but finally Afghanistan won by three runs in the last over against Sri Lanka. This match was a very tough match and both teams performed very well. Afghanistan gave as much importance in the last match and performed as well as they did if they were able to perform like that in the earlier matches they would not have lost so many matches. Although the last match did not give Afghanistan a series win, the win was a respectable win for Afghanistan.

The match between Lahore and Multan is in last stage and the match is very tough. 17 runs are required in 10 balls for Multan. Rizwan perform betting very good and attained 82 runs. Lahore bet first and target 166 runs. Now 5 players of Multan Sultan are out and 146 runs has been scored by them. Iftekhar Ahmad and David are betting now and both players are good so they can the match.

Don't know what happens with 2 times champions. Haris Rauf's performance after BBL was not good and according to sources, at this time, this is a chance where PCB can cancel his contract. Maybe he can't go outside of the country to play any league but it will not happen because this is a part of the game to go out of form but we can hope that he will back in his performance.
He is the player who tried to do some good for his team but always he can't do it. However, he is a speed gun. At previous matches, his speed and Shaheen's speed had some issues both couldn't be cross 150 but now both are back in order in speed. Shaheen is good while Haris Rauf takes some time to back in order hopes before the World Cup his issues will clear and come back in form.

Islamabad United did not perform well batting in the beginning, they started well from the opening batsman but later batsmen got out under bowling pressure. Islamabad United will never win with such a bad performance.  Because already. Quetta Gladiator bowling performance has been very good due to which Islamabad United have collected 118 runs from 17 balls so far. If Islamabad United can score 150 runs today, the game will surely be full of competition between the two teams.

IPL 2024 schedule is partially out and it looks like it's CSK vs RCB weirdly instead of CSK vs GT on March 22 which is the opening match. Excited to watch Dhoni vs Kohli once again and the venue is somewhere in India.

Venue is Chepauk, Chennai.

Yea, I don't get it either why they choose RCB as opponent instead of GT, may be it's due to stardom of Kohli, Gujarat don't have any star players.

Also, T20 wc teaser is out.

Quetta Gladiator vs Islamabad United

Quetta Gladiator team won toss and They got a chance to select first bat or bowl and Quetta Gladiator team first gave a batting chance to Islamabad United team. Islamabad United team batting is continuing and almost few balls left for finishing their lineup and set a target. Islamabad United team lost 7 wickets and made 130 runs and this runs are very low for Quetta Gladiator team because they won old games with good runs. A.Ahmed dismissed 3 wickets in 4 overs with 18 runs and his overs are finished now. A.Salman effort was food from Islamabad United team side and he scored 33 runs in 23 balls with five 4s. Some other played did not performed well and also not making nice runs for their team. A.Hosein took down 2 wickets and M Wasim also took down same number of wickets. Let's see who will win this game?

Let's see who will win this game?

At this time, Imad Wasim is on strike but as for his previous matches performances, I don't think so that he will do anything good. Islamabad United team seems losing because just 6 overs were left and they could not make 100 runs, and I think they also forgot that it is not the old Quetta Gladiator team because now it become much better team after struggling since 2020.

For the Quetta Gladiator team, at least they should need to give the target of 200 plus because 150 is the left-handed thing for Quetta today. Imad Wasim and Jordan Cox played too much poorly. By the way, sometime before, I think during the World Cup, taking retirement of Imad Wasim, he said in the show that if he became the captain of the Pakistan team so he would again chance to Amir to play again for Pakistan but just after 1 month he took retirement and it's a very good decision because in this type of performance if he will come so only god can save his team with his machine that allows others to gave runs or his dot balls that he left during batting.

[Smack That Ace]

The upcoming match of Fortune Barishal against Comilla Victorians is very important for both. Both of them are going to fight to improve their standing on the table in this match. If Barishal wins they have a chance to get themselves into the third position. And if Comilla Victorians win they have a chance to see themselves in the first position of the table. But they will have to play very well for that. Both of them are going to play the best they can in this match.

Not very interested in the other match to be honest. Do you guys think either team of the other match of tomorrow is going to make it to the playoffs?

I was surprised to see the batting of Islamabad United team players. I saw Islamabad United maybe 60 runs in 6 overs but from there they mustered only 138 runs in 20 overs what happened to them. Apart from Alex Hales and Agha Salman, nobody could put in a consistent batting performance for Islamabad United today.Alex Hales was on fire but could not sustain his batting performance in the end as he was dismissed for 21 off nine balls. Islamabad United lost their first match maybe today also we are going to see Islamabad United lose their third match.

Islamabad United opener duo Alex Hales and Colin Munro batsman started well. But both of them could not increase the score of runs. Alex Hales was out for 21 runs from 9 balls and Colin Munro was out for 20 runs from 22 balls. After Colin Munro and Alex Hales got out, Salman Ali Agha was the highest scorer for Islamabad United with 33 runs. Islamabad United managed to collect 138 runs in the allotted 20 overs, bowled very well. Especially Muhammad Wasim and Abrar Ahmed both bowled very well. Muhammad Wasim and Abrar Ahmed took important three wickets each for Quetta Gladiators. The target of 139 runs will not be too difficult for Quetta Gladiators team if they can bat well and patiently then Quetta Gladiators will come close to victory very easily.

[ZAINmalik75]

The match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka is over and Sri Lankan lost the game by just 3 runs. 19 runs were required in the last over and Sri Lankans were only able to make 15 in the last over. It was an entertaining game where both teams were able to score over 200 runs. Zazai and Gurbaz gave Afghanistan a good opening stand of 88 runs and runs kept coming even after the departure of the openers. Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be man of the match for his brilliant 70 runs knock. 

Finally Afghanistan make a comeback after long six consecutive defeat run against a same opponent sirilanka at different formate which is quite disappointed, anyway absence of Rashid khan and his mystery deliveries especially at sirilankan home ground where spinner really get huge support really make Afghanistan bowling lineup incomplete, hope his recovery will give them extra confidence while facing any strong side.
If we have a look at score board the only difference In my mind which really put them Afghanistan ahead sirilankan team and that's was gurbaz magnificent inning while also a bit contribution from bowling side too but unfortunately they unable to make his efforts more worthy because they already lose thier series

Afghanistan is much better and different side when it comes to T20 format. If you see 3 matches of T20 series then first one was a tight one  which Sri Lanka won by just 4 runs, second one was dominated by Sri Lanka while the last game is won by Afghanistan. There is a controversy in last T20I when Sri Lanka required 11 runs on last three balls and a high full toss from Wafadar Momand was declared legal. Sri Lankans claim it was a no ball but umpire Lyndon Hannibal declared it legal and most importantly it was a dot ball.

Zalmi Peshawar has batted and they made 134 run . The run is too short to win. Now Quetta Gladiator are playing . Quetta Gladiator made 125 run in 17 overs with the lose of 6 wickets. And now R Rossouw are playing he made 33 run in 37 ball . Quetta Gladiator need 12 run in 17 balls .If you look at the match, the Quetta Gladiator  is performing quite well and has been winning.

Australia vs New Zealand

The cricketing world might be witnessing yet another exciting and high voltage match tomorrow where the two mighty cricket teams New Zealand and Australia are going to face each other.We saw how aggressive and devastating the batsmen of these two teams were in the first T20 match. New Zealand scored 215 runs in the first T20 match but they were still defeated by Australia by 6 wickets. Tim Debate was the hero for Australia in that match as Australia won with the last ball due to his brilliant innings. We want New Zealand to win the second T20 match and make this T20 series even more exciting.

Yea, I don't get it either why they choose RCB as opponent instead of GT, may be it's due to stardom of Kohli, Gujarat don't have any star players.

Maybe. GT look like a completely different team this time around when compared to before thanks to Gill becoming captain and Shami not being available. Hardik should have stuck with them for some more time.

Also, T20 wc teaser is out.

What a teaser. Loved it. West Indies should somehow rise back to the top in T20 cricket.

Jesus Christ! It's Tim David.

Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans are off to a great start in Pakistan Super League. Both the teams have so far won all of the matches they have played so far. Today Islamabad United put up a pathetic display batting first, as they got to only 138/9 in 20 overs. They suffered a middle order collapse when Colin Munro, Shadab Khan, Azam Khan and Agha Salman got out in quick succession. All credit to Quetta bowlers, especially Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Wasim. BTW, Abrar had a horrible match against Qalandars a few days back.
