T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[ThemePen]

For now I don't want to favor either of these two teams as both of them have the ability to win the match. But between these two teams, the Scotland cricket team will be ahead on paper. They are a few steps ahead of the United Arab Emirates in the ranking. In fact we want to advance or advance the team that is stronger. But in the game of cricket many times it is seen that many weak teams are able to defeat big and strong teams. Just because Scotland is stronger than UAE in t20 format does not mean that UAE will lose this match they can also win if they perform well in batting and bowling.

The Scotland cricket team is ranked higher than the United Arab Emirates team but you should remember that in cricket anything can happen. We have seen many time weaker teams can beat stronger teams. We shouldn't underestimate the UAE team because they have the ability to win if they play well in batting and bowling. By the way I think both teams have the equal stats so this is little bit difficult to say that which team will win.

Scotland VS United Arab Emirates
A three-match T20 series has been organized between United Arab Emirates vs Scotland. Today will be the 1st match of this series. The series will be at UAE's home ground, so UAE will get a bit more support. However, Scotland is a stronger team than UAE in T20 format. If I had to predict today's match, I would put Scotland ahead. I think Scotland will win today. Which team do you think will win?

I would say Scotland have more chances to win this match. I have seen the performance of Scotland players against UAE in the previous match. UAE batsmen's performance was very poor. The UAE team set a target of just 133 runs. Scotland did not face any problem in winning this match. Scotland team reached the target of victory by losing only two wickets.

Since UAE batsmen's performance is poor, Scotland's chances of winning are high. But I don't understand why the UAE team is not performing well even after making the squad with foreign players. Most of the players in the UAE squad are from India or Pakistan. And the players are talented enough. The UAE Cricket Board should definitely look for local talent. This team is heavily dependent on foreign players.

DC and MI have already qualified for the playoffs while GG is pretty much out implying that RCB and UPW are fighting it out for the remaining vacant spot. I feel that DC will stay on top and proceed straight to the final.

MI will battle against UPW/RCB in the eliminator to face DC in the final encounter. Excited for the final matches.

Back to back thriller match in PSL. In this match Quetta Gladiator required 4 runs from the last balls of the match. Waseem jr is playing Shaeen shan Afridi bowling and Waseem jr hit a six and Quetta Gladiator quality for the Play off of PSL9. Lahore Qalandar and Karchi kins are eliminated from this tournament. Yesterday Shoaib Malik needed 4 runs from to win against Lahore and Shoaib Malik hit a four and won the match for his team.

PSL teams for next round are selected and LQ and KK are eliminated. LQ had no chance for the next round since start of the tournament but KK fought hard and were eliminated because they don't have enough points. In yesterday game, KK were very close to victory but its Saud Shakeel and a match winning six from Muhammad Wasim that has taken QG to next round..

Last time, when the Peshawar Zalmi team came to bat against Karachi Kings at Gaddafi Stadium so the crowd was excited to see Babar Azam and Saim Ayub's partnership because the day before the match day between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi match was the match of Peshawar Zalmi where they were facing Quetta Gladiators and on that we had seen a great partnership of these two best openers by Peshawar Zalmi.

Now I will tell you why this partnership didn't work against Karachi because Shan Masood gave the ball to Shoaib Malik to ball and in the first ball, he took the wicket of Saim Ayub after him he also took the wicket of Muhammad Haris in the first over and from the starting they made pressure onto the team of Peshawar Zalmi by using Shoaib Malik's act of bowling. So, I think now they will again use this same strategy in today's match.

If you want to bet on this match, then you should go with Peshawar Zalmi according to the odds.

In the match against Sri Lanka, the Bangladeshi bowlers performed the duties of the batsmen and the batsmen who were there only performed the duties of the fielders, although they did not field well. If the journalists question Bangladesh about this, then the captain may say in the press conference that they will learn from this match and use it in the next match, but we still do not see in which match they will use this lesson. Bangladesh must be commended for doing well in the first two matches, but they could have ended the last match not so badly. If everything was in favor of Bangladesh, Bangladesh's performance could have been better.

The Sri Lanka Cricket team won the T20I series against Bangladesh and when they won so when they celebrated with the cup so on that time, their captain Wanindu Hasaranga focused on his wrist and acted like he wore a watch and focused on it and continually doing that, and he was doing this because on 2023 World Cup Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh match was playing and a player of Sri Lanka take time more than 180 seconds to come in the ground then Shakib Al Hasan said to time-out to them and that was the winning match for Sri Lanka but due to that time-out Bangladesh won that match and that was the first time held in the cricket history where a team player out to other players by using time-out.

DC and MI have already qualified for the playoffs while GG is pretty much out implying that RCB and UPW are fighting it out for the remaining vacant spot. I feel that DC will stay on top and proceed straight to the final.

MI will battle against UPW/RCB in the eliminator to face DC in the final encounter. Excited for the final matches.

The last ball finish turned out to be heartbreak for RCB Women, almost everyone in their camp had tears. I felt bad too for a bit but then I remember the legacy of RCB.

Not being a douchebag to RCBW but that's what RCB is as a franchise. Kohli got his nickname (tongue in cheek) Chokli for a reason.

Performance of Karachi Kings players is very erratic. On the other hand, Peshwari Zalmi's batting order is strong. Peshwari Zalmi has some excellent batsmen like Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Harris, Powell and Cadmore in their squad. Peshwari Zalmi captain Babar Azam has decided to win the toss and bat.
Excellent start today by Pshwari Zalmi's two openers. Zalmi's two openers collected 47 runs at the end of 5 overs. Saim Ayub scored 17 runs from 16 balls and Babar Azam scored 18 runs from 14 balls. But the interesting thing is that the bowlers of Karachi Kings have given 12 extra runs in just 5 overs. Karachi's bowlers continue to bowl badly as Peshwari Zalmi will give away over 200 targets today. I bet Peshwari Zalmi to win this match.

[Out of mind]

In Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi, the two teams faced each other and Peshawar Zalmi, batting in the first innings. Babar Azam is in great batting form at the moment as he is an experienced batsman who can surely score a lot of runs if he can survive. Peshawar Zalmi must bat and bowl well to win today's match. At the moment Peshawar Zalmi has collected 54 runs in 6 overs I think if the team can play in the end it is definitely possible to score 170 plus runs. And if this giant can collect a score, then Peshawar Zalmi will win and top the points table.

Opener George Munsey's excellent batting has led Scotland to a big collection. Scotland has collected 132 runs after 16 overs. Scotland lost 5 wickets, George Munsey remained unbeaten on 75 from 46 balls.

Scotland lost two wickets for just 13 runs. After losing wickets very quickly, I thought that maybe Scotland will not be able to provide a big target today. But now it seems that the team will be able to collect at least 170 runs today. And of course thanks must go to opener George Munsey. Munsey is slowly moving towards the century.

In UAE toss is the most important aspect of the match. The side winning the toss has more ratio of winning the game and the reason is dew factor. At later part of the game, dew jumps in and it becomes very easy to socre runs and that's why UAE decided to bowl first after winning the toss. Scotland struggling to complete there 20 overs, 8 wickets have gone down and still they have 2 more overs to play.

[Cheema02]

Today's match Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and decided to bat first and scored only 147 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in the first innings of the match. From Peshawar zalmi Babar Azam played an outstanding inning of 51 runs from just 46 balls and Rovman Powell also scored 30 runs from 18 balls and reached the team total of 145 plus. Karachi Kings bowling performance is also amazing they restricted Peshawar Zalmi in low targets and have a good chance to win this match easily. Karachi Kings current score is 25 runs without any loss of wickets in the first four overs of the match they needed 123 runs from 96 balls to win this match.

It is very difficult to predict the performance of teams like Scotland and UAE. In this match I also thought Scotland could provide a decent target. Because at the end of 15 overs, the team collected 127 runs after losing 4 wickets. Since the team lost only four wickets in 15 overs, I also thought that Scotland would score at least 40 runs in the last 5 overs. But the interesting thing is that Scotland have collected only 20 runs in the last 5 overs. The team scored 2 runs in the 17th and 18th overs. The target of 148 runs on this pitch was a small target. UAE had an easy win.

Batting with a target of 148 runs, the UAE openers collected 33 runs in the first two overs. Three batsmen of the top order batted soo well. So within 18 overs, the UAE team reached the target of victory by losing only two wickets.

Although Peshawar Zalmi team managed to win this match but the margin is small. Karachi Kings team was knocked out of the qualifier match, Karachi Kings team was performing very well in the beginning of this Pakistan Super League season. They came into this match and performed so badly towards the last that they only lost a few consecutive matches, but Karachi Kings team had a good chance of winning in today's match. If these two batsmen J Vince and Shoaib Malik could have collected a few runs then there was definitely a possibility. As they scored less runs than balls, but Peshwar Zalmi team captain Babar Azam gave the best batting performance, due to his intelligence and strategy the team managed to win.

Waoo what a drama especially at last few overs, I taught it gona be defeat for Peshawar zalmi but thanks GOD Finally Peshawar zalmi won thier last game of the PSL season 9 before move on to the playoff stage. To be honest after Peshawar zalmi innings things were looking in favour of Karachi because they didn't even lose a single wicket in power play and scored as much as possible without any trouble but later after dismissal of thier first two wickets dominance were shifted to Peshawar zalmi as thier bowler get thier confident of will and then they done extra ordinary and thanks to Jamal who saved an important runs against set batter at last stage and thus Peshawar show thier dominance on points table

Yes you are right Karachi Kings had a chance to win the match but Peshawar Zalmi and their captain Babar Azam played well. That was a pride moment for City Peshawar citizen. By the way cricket is a team sport so one player performance doesn't always decide the result. Karachi Kings missed some chances, but that's normal in the game. Well done to Peshawar Zalmi for winning, and both teams played well. But I was thinking that Karachi Kings will win this match but at the end the overall situation got totally changed.

In the 2nd match of Papua New Guinea vs Nepal team, Nepal came to bat and scored 198 runs after losing 6 wickets in 20 overs. I think the runs that Nepal team scored in today's match were the right runs to win. Papua New Guinea team did not perform well in the bowling line.  .Nepal team batsman Kushal Bhurtel got out with 59 runs in 39 balls.Sundeep Jora got out with 56 runs in 26 balls.Papua New Guinea team will come to bat in a short time.Papua New Guinea team has very little chance to win this match.

Papua New Guinea are 67/3 now, and they need another 132 runs from 12 overs. If they perform like this, PNG will be soon thrown out of the first tier of associate cricket. And this is a pattern that has been continuing for quite some time now. Teams with native players, such as Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu are finding it hard to compete against teams that are comprised fully of foreigners (such as the United Arab Emirates, Canada and Oman). Nepal is the only country with native players, who have improved their position in recent times.

WPL: GG vs UPW

Another entertaining match.

GG opted to bat first. Opener Mooney and Wolvaardt had good opening partnership however after Wolvaardt got out it was downhill for GG as each new batter who came to the crease had short stay while Mooney stayed on one end, in end overs Mooney shifted gears and got GG to decent total of 152, with her sole contribution being 74 and second being Wolvaardt with 43.

UPW comes to chase and gets early blows, they quickly lose 5 wickets, then Deepti-Khemnar hold field until the very end and they lose the game by 8 runs. The single Deepti took and gave strike to Khemnar was very unnecessary, she should have stuck to her ground because she was the big-hitter here and big hits were required.

[Sithara007]

I have a soft-corner for the Gujarat Giants Women, because they are the only team with an associate player in the squad (Kathryn Bryce from Scotland). Previously we had Tara Norris from the United States playing for the Delhi Capitals, but she was released this year. Not very surprising, given the aversion towards associate players from the IPL franchises. Yesterday Giants were able to defend a sub-par total, thanks to some fine bowling from Shabnam MD. She returned spectacular figures of 4-0-11-3. Tanuja Kanwar also provided good support.

I placed my bet on Favour of Karachi kings but they lost the game In a nail-biting encounter Peshawar Zalmi emerged victory by a low margin of two runs. Peshawar Zalmi win securing the top spot on the points table. Peshawar Zalmi's overall performance left room for improvement but opener Babar Azam excellent half-century showcased batting power. Karachi Kings batsmen Seifert and Irfan khan displayed memorable contributions while Anwar Ali's standout performance in the last over added intensity to the game but Zalmi clinched the victory at last Over of the game and jumped to the top spot on the points table.

As the group phase last game all eyes are on the pivotal clash between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators. The Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators match holds the key to deciding whether Quetta after winning and secures the second spot or Multan Sultans wins and claims the top position with 14 points. I think any team win definitely affects Islamabad united standing in the knockout phase of PSL.
