T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Fuso.hp]

United Arab Emirates won the first T20I to take the series, but Scotland won the second T20I by nine runs to level the series at 1-1. Although the target was 122 runs for UAE, they could not chase down this easy target to win. Against Scotland, the United Arab Emirates were bowled out for just 112 runs, which resulted in the defeat of the United Arab Emirates after coming very close to winning this match. The third and final T20 match of the series is the final match and series decider for the two teams. The team that wins the last match will win the T20 series.

In my point of view the United Arab Emirates missed a great opportunity to win the T20 series against Scotland by failing to chase down a relatively low target of 122 runs. It was really disappointing to see them fall short in such a crucial match after coming so close to victory. And in the final match I really hope they will bounce back and try to win the series.  They should learn from their mistakes and should come back stronger in the final match.

In the third and final T20 match, UAE performed worse against Scotland and in the last match, UAE lost the series to Scotland with the worst performance. Scotland scored 90 plus runs against UAE in the first innings and got all out at that time it seemed that UAE would win easily but in the second innings we saw the opposite. United Arab Emirates were bowled out for just 62 runs as the Middle Eastern nation lost the T20 series against Scotland in a comfortable match.

Peshawar Zalmi gave the target only 146 runs in 20 overs. Peshawar Zalmi collected only 3 runs in the last over. I don't expect to see such bad batting today. It cannot be called a big target. Peshawar Zalmi's batsmen batted better in the last two matches against Multan Sultans. However, Peshawar Zalmi still has a chance to win if the bowlers bowl well. But at the moment Multan Sultans have the highest chances of winning.

Peshawar zalmi has shown worst batting performance and I think early dismissal of thier oppner game changer Saim Ayub become the Turing point of Peshawar zalmi because mostly saim done huge damage especially in power play that release huge pressure from thier partner baber Azam and provide him little bit room so that he can show his magic while execute huge pressure on Thier opponent bowler. Anyway pitch were quite tricky and provide huge turn that's why most of classy batters feel trouble while facing and that's why unfortunately they unable to hit 200 mark which will be I think decent target for thier bowling. While if we have a look at opponent score board where Yasir khan give them perfect start and then later the way iftikhar chachu finish the game was phenomenal. Hope Peshawar will manage thier way to the final to face Multan again and took his revenge

Peshawar Zalmi lost this match due to bad batting. If the batsmen could have done well, the match would have been very competitive.

Captain Babar Azam scored the highest runs for Peshawar Zalmi. But he batted very slowly. He batted only at 109 strike rate in such an important match. Peshawar Zalmi provided big targets in the last two matches against Multan Sultans. Even then they won by only 4 and 5 runs. And in today's match when Peshawar Zalmi was giving a target of 147 runs, I was sure that Multan Sultans team is going to win the match.

We haven't seen a better performance from Captain Mohammad Rizwan, but Yasir Khan and Usman Khan have batted well in this match. Opener Yasir was unbeaten with 54 runs off 37 balls and Usman 36 runs.

However, Peshawar Zalmi still have a chance to qualify for the finals. The Eliminator 2 match will be held tomorrow. I think we will see Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi match again in the final.

OMG
What surprised me the most was that seven batsmen from the United Arab Emirates team scored zero runs. These seven batsmen could not collect a run in any way and if they performed like this, they were all out for only 62 runs. I never expected this kind of performance from these two teams since this game was originally played on a ground famous for its bowling pitch. So this match was the famous United Arab Emirates team players for zero runs.

[Nazmul012]

surprisingly Scotland won the match against United Arab Emirates in their 3rd T20I match. But after seeing the Previous matches performance  many people thought that UAE would win the match. Don't know what to say about this match! Batsmen were too weak or bowlers were too strong from both team?! Cause Scotland did 94 runs only and UAE poorly scored 62 runs only. Scotland did poor performance and maybe due to extra excitement, UAE keep losing their wickets earlier, 6 players scored " duck🦆"  and lost the match for 32 runs. Totally ridiculous performance which was totally unexpected

First T20I: UAE defeated Scotland by 8 wickets.
Second T20I: Scotland defeated UAE by 9 runs.
Third T20I: Scotland defeated UAE by 32 runs.

From my viewpoint, Scotland's improved performance is not surprising. They won the third T20 match against UAE convincingly, securing the series with a 2-1 lead. While Scotland may lack standout spinners and consistent spells that can cause a collapse, however their bowlers found success in today's decider match as UAE lost wickets rapidly.

Yes you are right Peshawar Zalmi didn't do well in batting during last match. When Saim Ayub got out earlier it really affected team. Saim Ayub was good in previous matches especially in beginning of match. Pitch conditions were tough which made it hard for good batters to score much runs. By the way it will be interesting to see if Peshawar Zalmi will come back and reach final to play against Multan again. So let's see.

Saim Ayub's performance in a few matches was excellent. He has seen a good impact in the end as well but the performance in the last match was not good due to which we saw them lose in the last match. If a team's opening batsman fails to perform, the team is under pressure from the start. If the opening partnership does well, the rest of the team can do well too. Even if they lost the last match, they will have a chance. Peshawar Zalmi still have that chance if they can capitalize on the last chance. If Peshawar Zalmi can give the best then they will be the title holders in the final. There is definitely no substitute for Saim Ayub's good performance for the team to win. Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators did not perform better than Peshawar Zalmi in the group stage. They are more likely to meet again with Multan Sultans.

In cricket we saw sometimes surprising things happen like when Scotland beat the United Arab Emirates. Both teams did not score much score which could be because of tough field conditions or pressure or you can say due to   good bowling. It is not just about one team being weak or the other being strong but a mix of reasons that decide result. By the way match was shorter and interesting. Means Scotland made 94 runs and UAE made only 62 runs. That was really surprising.

Afghanistan vs Ireland

First T20 match between Afghanistan and Ireland today Afghanistan and Ireland played ODI series and Test series earlier. In the ODI series Afghanistan defeated Ireland to win the series but in the Test series, Ireland defeated Afghanistan to win the series. The T20 series between these two teams is starting from today. Afghanistan has a majority of players who have played in various T20 franchise leagues which gives them a lot of experience. However, one batsman in the Ireland team who has been performing quite well recently is Harry Tector. Maybe today the fight between these two teams will be equal.

There is no doubt that Ireland played very well in the Test match. It was a historic victory for Ireland. But the Ireland team could not maintain the consistency of performance in the ODI format. Especially in the third ODI match, Ireland's players performed very badly. Afghanistan set a target of 237 runs, Ireland managed just 119 runs. Such poor batting was not expected from Ireland players.

If Ireland's batsmen perform well in today's match then the match will be competitive, otherwise we will only see Afghanistan's dominance and Afghanistan will win. Afghanistan squad is more experienced than Ireland. However, Ireland's squad also has several hard-hitting batsmen.

United Arab Emirates were bowled out for just 62 runs as the Middle Eastern nation lost the T20 series against Scotland in a comfortable match.

I wasn't expecting such a low-scoring match. After Scotland made 94 runs, I thought UAE would easily chase this total, but a surprise was waiting for me. UAE got out on 62 runs. Scotland won the series by 2-1. 

Peshawar Zalmi lost this match due to bad batting. If the batsmen could have done well, the match would have been very competitive.

Captain Babar Azam scored the highest runs for Peshawar Zalmi. But he batted very slowly. He batted only at 109 strike rate in such an important match. Peshawar Zalmi provided big targets in the last two matches against Multan Sultans. Even then they won by only 4 and 5 runs. And in today's match when Peshawar Zalmi was giving a target of 147 runs, I was sure that Multan Sultans team is going to win the match.

We haven't seen a better performance from Captain Mohammad Rizwan, but Yasir Khan and Usman Khan have batted well in this match. Opener Yasir was unbeaten with 54 runs off 37 balls and Usman 36 runs.

However, Peshawar Zalmi still have a chance to qualify for the finals. The Eliminator 2 match will be held tomorrow. I think we will see Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi match again in the final.

Multan Sultan team have done their homework. They were exceptional with the execution and Rizwan's captaincy was spot on. Saim's wicket put pressure on Peshawar, but Babar and Haris did well in the powerplay. After Haris's wicket, Peshawar did not find a batters who could score quickly. Multan spinners were excellent with the ball. They haven't given Babar or other batters any loose balls to play shorts. Babar's wicket was the turning point of the match. A target of 147 in the qualifier was not enough for the strong Multan Sultan batting lineup. Zalmi has another chance to qualify for the final. They have to rethink their strategy as a team.

Today is the first T20 match between Ireland and Afghanistan which will not be a one-sided match for Afghanistan as we are thinking because before the series on tour match, the Afghanistan team lost the match where the match was a tour test Match and there they can still draw the match but their team is too bad and they were all out on 155 runs while Ireland team won that match in a very good way and easily.

Anyways, they won the series of ODI and now too have seen a lot of improvement in their team in the ODI series but now they should prepare for the T20I series at Sharjah today.

WPL: RCB vs MI (Eliminator)

RCB under huge pressure as they just lose their 3rd wicket, Perry-Richa on crease atm, and these two aren't looking comfortable playing shots either, but then again this pair is only where RCB and their fans can put their hope upon and oh BTW we are hearing RCB chants in Delhi too.

Kasat gaveaway her wicket.

Just a little later Ireland vs Afghanistan 1st t20 match is going to start but this match today I will definitely put Afghanistan ahead of Ireland because Afghanistan are doing very well in t20 format so expect them to beat Ireland very easily. But Ireland is having a fighting performance in ODI matches against Afghanistan so if Ireland batsmen and bowlers can perform very well against Afghanistan surely the game can be competitive but I think today's match is more likely for Afghanistan to win. Of course, cricket is a game of uncertainty, the team that performs well on the field will surely win. Best wishes to both teams.

RCB under huge pressure as they just lose their 3rd wicket, Perry-Richa on crease atm, and these two aren't looking comfortable playing shots either, but then again this pair is only where RCB and their fans can put their hope upon. Kasat gaveaway her wicket.

Perry should do a Kohli and become the sankatmochan for the RCB and then go on to lose the match. IMO this would be the peak RCB moment. 

I have to say, RCB does have a mad fan following. Doesn't matter if it's Women's or Men's RCB. Fans always turn up for this franchise and pack the stadium.

[libert19]

Richa gone as well and now all hope on Perry, it's 10 overs and RCB has mere 51 runs on cards, RCB will need miracle to give competitive score from here.

[noormcs5]

Yes you are right Peshawar Zalmi didn't do well in batting during last match. When Saim Ayub got out earlier it really affected team. Saim Ayub was good in previous matches especially in beginning of match. Pitch conditions were tough which made it hard for good batters to score much runs. By the way it will be interesting to see if Peshawar Zalmi will come back and reach final to play against Multan again. So let's see.

Now, Peshawar Zalmi cannot be afford to lose. Now, there lose is not like a match to lose. If they lose the next match, it will be all over. It will be a loss of the tournament, it will be a loss of 11 matches, it is the loss of 6 victories, it will be loss of 13 points and the game where Babar Azam made a lot of fifties and one time made 111, it will be a loss of Babar's 111, 66, 51, 53, 29, 46, 0, 34, and the last 57,  but here is not only Babar's effort. It will be a loss of the whole team and to save from these danger emotions, they should be needed to win the next two matches and lift this PSL trophy.

RCB makes 135 with significant contribution from Perry of 66 runs, of course 135 not being a good total, RCB has all chances to lose this game, unless Perry does miracle with the bowl too and becomes savior there as well.

Peshawar Zalmi can play the final and the hopes are still alive for them. They can take revenge on Multan Sultans of yesterday's semi final match. The winner of today's match will be decided in few hours from now but after that match the team who won today's match still have to face many difficulties such as they have to meet with Peshawar Zalmi tomorrow at Karachi and today's match will be played between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators.

Babar Azam and Saim Ayub always played well against Quetta Gladiators in this PSL and on the other side, here is Islamabad United and against them Babar Azam hit a century but one time he was also out on zero by them but that was run out.

The news from the match centre is that Islamabad United have won the toss and they will put the runs on the board in this eliminator match. High hopes from Martin Guptill and Alex Hales to give a good start to the Islamabad's team.

The match is underway. Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bowl first and its not a surprising. In UAE, any team that won the toss decide to bowl first to take advantage of dew that comes down at later part of the game. In UAE, the team winning the toss also wins the match. Ireland so far have a good start of the game as they have scored 19 runs in first 2 overs without losing any wicket.

The match is in progress.  Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bowl first.  Afghanistan's decision to bowl first could make or break their win. Ireland have scored 66 now in 11 overs . Afghanistan team bowlers playing very well they have taken five wickets of  Ireland so far which is why Ireland's best men are still under full pressure.  There is no hope that the Island team will be able to score more than a hundred runs.
