T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[FinePoine0]

Islamabad United secured the final match with an impressive win and they will play the final match against Multan Sultans. Although Peshawar played well with Zalmi and they got away easily Islamabad United played strongly as they won by 5 wickets and confirmed the final. In the match though, Peshawar Zalmi's batsmen did brilliantly and scored 185 runs, a huge score. However, this score was met by Islamabad United very easily and going into the final match, the match was really interesting anyway. But the next match will surely be a great one between Islamabad United and Multan Sultan as both the teams are gearing up for the final and they will be playing to win the trophy. And I think both teams will fight hard enough to win the trophy in PSL final match and I think Islamabad United, along with Multan Sultan will win the trophy and snatch the trophy.

Tomorrow is going to be the final match of the PSL 9 season and it will decide whether the trophy is going to Multan Sultans second time or Islamabad United third time. A moment of concern is that tomorrow again no crowd will be come for sure as you can see the Qualifiers and both Eliminator matches crowd and now if you say some seats were full then it does not mean that the stadium was full.

The best crowd you can see in this PSL was at the Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, Rawalpindi and Multan (as I mentioned this before also)  but there is no chance that in Karachi people will come to the match even if their league Karachi Kings was playing. Don't know if those people do not like the cricket at all 

Think of a final that will be going to held without much crowd in the Karachi Stadium and there will be fewer people who will chant for their team. People from Islamabad and Multan need to come to Karachi to support their teams in the grand final.

Imad Wasim and Haider Ali played the biggest role in Islamabad United's victory. If these two could not have performed well then Islamabad United would never have won and could not have participated in the final match. Nassem sha also performed well in the bowling field as he picked up three wickets alone, which were the wickets of the batsman in the main phase. And because of the offensive batting, Islamabad and Peshawar Zalmi team could not score more runs due to the aggressive batting.

The second T20I match will be played between Afghanistan and Ireland today. Afghanistan team will have a high chance of winning today's match if the key batsmen can protect the wicket and perform for a long time. Although the Afghanistan team lost the first match but the margin was huge. The Afghanistan team got out very easily due to the strong bowling of the island team. So today if Afghanistan can defend the wicket and perform for a long time then I think there is definitely a chance to win.

Today, the second T20I match will be played between Afghanistan and Ireland. The two teams had a wide margin of victory in the first T20I, with Afghanistan set to score 111 runs but losing all wickets. But today if Azmatullah, Gurbaz and Anonya batsman can perform well from the start then there is definitely a chance to win. The number of wickets in the first T20I matches is higher than the number of batsmen in the main series, who were dismissed with fewer runs. But if they can take the lead in today's match and collect runs, Afghanistan team has more chances to win.

In my point of view Afghanistan needs their top batsmen to play well to win second T20I match against Ireland. Yes if Azmatullah Gurbaz Khan and Anonya start well and make a good start for team they have a good chance of winning. In first T20I losing wickets was problem so it is important for them to work together and score runs in today match. If they play smart and do things right Afghanistan can win the match.

You are right Afghanistan will strong come back in today's match against Ireland. Afghanistan batters need to build partnerships not give early wickets that put pressure on the team. While Ireland team also have great confidence after beating Afghanistan in the first T20 match and they look to win this second match and also win the series. Ireland bowlers are well especially Benjamin White is great bowling performance in the first match they picked four important wickets. Afghanistan will win this match at any cost Rashid Khan needs to make some changes in playing XI.

Ireland set a paltry target of 150 runs. There is no way to call it a big target.

Teams like Ireland, Zimbabwe always had the capability win against the teams that we never even expected in big stages and this might be another incident that we can add to the list. AFG is still a strong team in T20 format and I hope they will make a comeback on the 2nd T20I and it's indeed for their upcoming world cup journey because they performed beyond the expectation in ODI WC so now the expectations will be same from them.

The first match of T20 between Ireland and Afghanistan was the match where we judged the team of Ireland that they are a small team or weak team of just a name because they can win against the better than average teams like Afghanistan.

Ireland is not a small team still. Today we will see their match again and again both will met together at Sharjah where again Ireland may win. After the first victory they got the confidence of course and now let’s hope that they will create a history on their cricket side. Imagine, if they won the series of T20 against Afghanistan. It will be awesome for the Ireland's cricket.

Tector rode his luck in style to make it 1-0 in Sharjah

Some appreciation words on Harmanpreet Kaur.

Good batter and a fine tactician as a skipper but one of the shitty leader. Always dodge responsibility when a team fails and throw youngsters under the bus.

Agreed. She looks and acts like a gangster to be frank and I lost all respect for that dumbass after the crazy stunt that she pulled against Bangladesh and the umpires sometime back and she never regretted her actions.

It's bizarre that she is still the Indian team captain when there are far better choices like Smriti etc.

[UmerIdrees]

When Saim Ayub completed his fifty then on the ball at 9.1 overs you can see that ball on the Highlights. He completed his fifty by hitting a six and what a six that was

Now, the wonderful partnership again comes in the Pakistan cricket team. From Rizwan and Babar to Saim Ayub and Muhammad Babar Azam.  As you can see it in this PSL clearly Pakistan Cricket team known as Land of Bowlers, but it has been changed to Land of Openers.

Anyways, the partnership of Saim Ayub and Babar Azam is always good but yesterday some problems held that didn't allow Babar Azam to play more time but still they made the partnership of 70 runs, then Saim Ayub made more partnership with Muhammad Haris and when Saim Ayub was out, the game turning point has been started because their middle order is good but many players are not in their form.

Malaysia VS Papua New Guinea 2nd  T-20

The second match of the T20 series between Papua New Guinea and Malaysia has started. The series was two matches, with Papua New Guinea winning the first match to take a 1-0 lead in the series. So today's match is important for Malaysia to win to level the series. A win for Papua New Guinea today will win the series.

Malaysia have won the toss and decided to bat and have collected 99 runs in 12 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. Malaysia's two opening batsmen both batted well. Syed Aziz was dismissed for 53 runs off 42 balls, Virandeep Singh remained unbeaten on 30 runs. Let's see how many runs Malaysia can give the target.

The T20 series between Malaysia and Papua New Guinea will be played in two T20 matches with the first T20 being played in Papua New Guinea team managed to defeat Malaysia team in the first T20 match. The second and final t20 match between them is being played today in which Malaysia batted first and scored 161 runs for four wickets in 20 overs. If Papua New Guinea can give their batting performance like they did in the first T20 match, they might be able to win this match and take the T20 series.

Malaysia eventually collected 161 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in the stipulated over. Compared to the first match, Malaysia batting line was much better today. However, going into bat with a target of 162 runs, Papua New Guinea were bowled out for 98 runs in 17 overs. Papua New Guinea batted well in the first match, so I thought they would win today but they lost. Papua New Guinea batsmen performed very poorly today, none of the batsmen managed to score half a century. Virandeep Singh, the captain of Malaysia, performed well in both batting and bowling. Malaysia eventually won the match to level the series.

Now, the wonderful partnership again comes in the Pakistan cricket team. From Rizwan and Babar to Saim Ayub and Muhammad Babar Azam.  As you can see it in this PSL clearly Pakistan Cricket team known as Land of Bowlers, but it has been changed to Land of Openers.

After the PSL matches, the Pakistan team has a very good series with New Zealand again. By the way, the Pakistan and New Zealand series is too often come in a single year.

However, this time the series going to be hosted by Pakistan and two cities are looking to host this series Rawalpindi and Lahore. The first three matches of this series will hosted by Rawalpindi Stadium and after those three matches the teams come to Lahore and play the remaining two matches there. This series will be coming in April means after a full month we will see this competition. Last time, Pakistan went to New Zealand now they are coming to Pakistan.

Ireland bowlers are well especially Benjamin White is great bowling performance in the first match they picked four important wickets. Afghanistan will win this match at any cost Rashid Khan needs to make some changes in playing XI.

I agree with you that Afghanistan has a good chance of winning today match against Ireland. Afghanistan batters can work together well and avoid losing early wickets which is important to make it hard for other team. By the way Ireland won the first T20 match Afghanistan is determined to come back strong and win second match to tie series. Rashid Khan leader of Afghanistan team can make important changes to help team play better. Let's wait and see who will win today match and the series.

Malaysia VS Papua New Guinea 2nd  T-20

The second match of the T20 series between Papua New Guinea and Malaysia has started. The series was two matches, with Papua New Guinea winning the first match to take a 1-0 lead in the series. So today's match is important for Malaysia to win to level the series. A win for Papua New Guinea today will win the series.

I am very happy because I placed my bet in favour of Malaysia and finally Malaysia triumphed by a huge margin in that game and Tied the 2-game series by 1-1. Papua New Guinea batters didn't palyed good shout they played like a streat cricket team in that game. The man of the game reward goes to Virandeep Singh because of his overall performance is extraordinary in this game. I love to watch his bowling Virandeep took three wickets 3/8 and remained unbeaten in hitting 65 not out. Papua New Guinea was unable to chase the total and All out by 98 runs. I think the Papua New Guinea team needs improvement in his both bowling and batting to do well in the next games.

WPL Final: RCB vs DC

DC 61/0 at 6 overs, Shafali is destroying whoever comes to bowl.

In last game RCB defended peanut target, in this game they are likely to chase a mountain.

Edit: Oops, and now it's 64/3 as Molineux takes 3 in 8th over. I must say, Capsey played really stupid shot. What a turn around.

[JSRAW]

^^ Delhi is playing a collapsing game. 63/0 and lost 7 wickets in the next 24 runs, some fine collapse is in progress.

Now there is a possibility that RCBW might break the chain and win the trophy before RCBM. So much pressure on Koach and the company.

[libert19]

What a surreal fall! DC is done and dusted at mere 113 runs, at one stage I expected double of that as target for RCB.

Seeing fall like this I wouldn't expect an easy win for RCB either (if it can happen to DC, it can happen to them also) but definitely RCB has upper hand here to win the trophy.

The final match of WPL is taking place now. Delhi Women's team qualified for the final by winning 6 out of 8 matches. The team was in very good form. But today they will bat so badly that probably no one expected.

The Delhi batsmen had performed well in their previous two matches against the RCB Women's team. Delhi gave targets of 182 runs and 195 runs in the two matches respectively. Despite setting a target of 182 in the last match, the Delhi team won by just 1 run. And so I expected Delhi to collect big in today's match.

Delhi's batsmen lost all wickets to collect only 113 runs. The two openers were off to a great start. Delhi lost their first wicket after collecting 64 runs in 7.1 overs. Shafali Verma was dismissed for 44 off 27 balls. And after that no batsman could stay at the crease for long. Delhi has given a target of only 114 runs today. The title is likely to be won by RCB.

DC-W were not even able to play there full 20 overs rather they were bowled out in 18.3 overs for just 113 runs. They got a decent start of 64 runs in 7 overs. Both openers did there best, Shafali Verma played a brilliant knock of 44 runs on just 27 balls. Once RCB picked by Shafali Verma wickets start falling and whole team got out before 20 overs. With 113 runs on the board there are not much chances of DC-W of winning the title.

RCB Women's team is slowly moving towards victory. Batting at a target of only 114 runs, Bengaluru women's team has no chance of defeat. We expected the final match to be competitive. I have watched very few Womens Premier League matches live. I was watching the final match today. But it was not expected to see such a one-sided match today.

Delhi bowlers could not take a single wicket of RCB women's team in 8 overs. The performance of the batsmen as well as their bowlers is also very poor. Bangalore women team has already collected 49 runs. Bengaluru's batsmen need only 65 runs off 72 balls to win.

A small target for RCB women in the finals and they seem to be easily achieving it specially when they have Ellyse Perry, the highest scorer of the tournament as their captain.
Even though Delhi capitals played all their games brilliant, they failed to bat 20 overs in the finals. Except for their openers Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma, all of their batting lineup collapsed. The 7th over of the RCB's bowling was fatal for DC. Sophie Molineux too first 3 important wickets in 4 balls with her excellent line and length.
Even though RCB is already one down, they'll be going all in as the target is small.

[Haunebu]

DC's curse continues while RCB seems all set to break their curse at last. I expected DC to score 190-200 runs initially, but they got screwed royally by the spinners. Sophie triggered the collapse through 3 wickets in a single over.

Shreyanka was amazing throughout this tournament and in this match too. Crazy roller-coaster basically!

Edit: RCB curse broken at last! They truly deserve the cup after outfoxing MI and DC back to back.
