[Cheema02]

In today's 2nd Semi-Final match of Zimbabwe vs Kenya team, Zimbabwe team came to bat and lost 5 wickets in 20 overs and set a target of 196 runs. Zimbabwe team managed to score the right runs to win the target of runs given by Zimbabwe team. Now Kenya team came to the field to bat. 4 overs.  Kenya team has scored 43 runs but has not lost any wicket so far. If Zimbabwe team does well in the bowling line in this match, Kenya team will not be able to win the match.

In second semi final match Zimbabwe won by a huge margin of 70 runs against Kenya. Kenya's poor performance failed to chase the target and only managed to score 126 runs all out. The Player of the match is Tashinga Musekiwa for his outstanding all-round batting and bowling performance in this match. They scored 39 runs unbeaten from just 10 balls an outstanding batting innings that reached Zimbabwe total of 190 plus runs. In bowling, Musekiwa also picked one important wicket by Just giving 22 runs and Owen Muzondo also bowled well and picked up 4 crucial wickets.

Aha, it's still Kohli vs X, Kohli vs Y. I feel bad for Faf lol, even in some footage I've seen from the RCB unboxing event it looked like Kohli took center stage, which is technically reserved for the captain.

Yeah. It's a great way to market these events and I doubt Faf and Ritu would mind any of this since they know how famous both of them. It's basically a war of 2 humungous fanbases and I am all for it.

Also, news is coming up that Gaikwad is the new captain of CSK. Thala will fill out the entertainment quota.

Damn. I get why they did this, but I wanted MSD to stay as the captain until he retired since we all know what happened with Jaddu sometime back.

Zimbabwe vs Kenya

The Mens African Games first semi-final match is over, with Namibia defeating Uganda to reach the final. The second semi-final match has started between Zimbabwe and Kenya. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat. Zimbabwe collected 196 runs losing 5 wickets in the allotted overs. Clive Madande and Clive Madande both batted well scoring 41 and 42 runs respectively. Tashinga Musekiwa put in a brilliant performance at the end to take the team to the big target, scoring 39 off 10 balls. If the Zimbabwean bowlers perform well, Zimbabwe will win. Today, Zimbabwe are more likely to win. But it is seen which team wins in the end.

In first match, Bangladesh women won the toss and first decided bowling. Australia women batsman makes 6 run in 1 over and Bangladesh women bowler no any wicket against Australia women batsman. This is the good started for Australia women batsman. Bangladesh women bowler out the Australia women batsman in the first ball of the 2 over. This is the first achievement for Bangladesh women bowler. Once time again Bangladesh women out the Australia women batsman in the last ball of the 6 over. This is the second achievement for Bangladesh women bowler. Australia women batsman makes 30 run in 10 over and 3 outs. Australia women batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Australia women batsman makes 213 run in 50 over and 7 outs. This is the target for Bangladesh women batsman. This is the easy target for Bangladesh women batsman. Bangladesh women batsman can not complete this target and lose the match.

@Haunebu & @JSRAW, The 17th season of IPL will start tomorrow. I wasn't following the schedule of IPL, but I hope you guys were aware of it. Why haven't any of you tried to arrange a prediction pool with entry fee? Although a small number of forum members participate in the pool by sending the entry fee, but it would be interesting to participate in a pool with some of you.

[ZAINmalik75]

Dhoni vs Kohli! What a way to kickoff IPL 2024. This is most probably Dhoni's final season which is probably why CSK is playing against RCB instead of GT in the first match of the season.

Wao what a dream start of the Tata IPL season they have scheduled, I think it will boost the craze and joy of IPL, it's true that according to some journalists it's may be dhoni last year but I think still he has ability to lead CSK and the reason is they won under leadership of Dhoni previous year. Anyway CSK has pick quite impactful player for this season like the young in-form all rounder Ravindra and Mitchell and some other quality name so may be we have seen Chennai in finals again with Mumbai or may be Gujarat Titan again but it's depend on how they will give start to his team. But but but may be may be king Kohli side I mean RCB show a his magic like women does and make a new history after a long long time as they already has dozen of quality player

Kenya once again wasted a chance for redemption. Zimbabwe actually sent a second string side for African Games, captained by Clive Madande. Even then Kenya was unable to compete with them and lost the match by a very heavy margin. Owen Muzondo and Kudakwashe Macheka are relatively unknown players. Yet they destroyed the Kenyan batting lineup. And disappointing results for Uganda as well, as they lost to a second string Namibia side. The target was very low (112), but they got bowled out for 87 runs as Handre Klazinge took 4 wickets. 

We have two finalists team Zimbabwe and Namibia, after a strong fight in different lower stages of the tournament, I know it's a tough game for Namabia to beat the top of the table team, Uganda, but I think his experience while playing different international competitions helped them to beat each and every team of the tournament and make themselves qualify for the finals. Now they will face Zimbabwe which is one of the top teams from the entire tournament who beat te same as like Namibia but I think Zimbabwe will give them a tough time as compared to them. Namibia is quite weak and doesn't have a big dependable name so I think that will create difficulties for Namabia.

One of semi final games today in African games league Namibia vs Uganda team, in this game, Namibia team showed very brilliant effort because they did not made big target but their bowler made very struggle and stop Uganda team players to their target. Namibia team set only 111 runs in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Uganda team only chased down 87 runs losing by 9 wickets in 20 overs and Uganda team lost this game by 24 runs. H.Klazinge bowler took down 4 wickets in 4 overs with 19 runs. B.Shikongo also performed well and bowled out 2 wickets in 4 overs with 12 runs. With the help of these players Today Namibia team won this game.

Tomorrow final game will be held between Namibia team vs Zimbabwe team.

Kenya shown very disappointing performance in the Second semi-final match against Zimbabwe. Kenya bowled out in just 126 runs score while chasing down 197 runs a huge total. The batting performance of Jonathan Campell is amazing in this match scored 42 runs from just 27 balls unfortunately, missed his well deserved half century by just few runs short but his effort and Tashinga Musekiwa brilliant 39 runs unbeaten from only ten balls reached total to high 197 runs for Kenya. Kenya Bastman is under pressure after seeing a huge total in the semi-final match. The final match of the tournament will played Tomorrow.

Yes you are right Kenya did bot play well in second semifinal match against Zimbabwe. Their bowlers had hard time stopping the Zimbabwean batsmen so Zimbabwe scored much runs that Kenya found hard to catch up with. Jonathan Campell did great job with his batting which was good thing for Kenya in a tough match. But whole team felt stressed after seeing Zimbabwe big score. So for now we will see Zimbabwe and Namibia in Final.

Yes I also think that Kenya had a hard time in their match against Zimbabwe. Bowlers tried but could not stop Zimbabwe from scoring much runs which made it tough for Kenya to catch up. As you mentioned Jonathan Campbell played well for Kenya but only one man can not do everything for a team all players need to focus on their responsibility. We know that Zimbabwe now qualified for the Final match.  The final between Zimbabwe and Namibia will be very interesting in my point of view. So let's see who will win that Match.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangaluru

The 2024 Indian Premier League IPL is going to start tomorrow with the match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In the first match of this year's Indian Premier League Royal Challengers Bangalore will face the last champion Chennai Super Kings, Chennai team has changed the captaincy. Rituraj Gaikode is the new captain of Chennai Super Kings and the team of Chennai Super Kings has been formed with confidence in him.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is captained by South African player Faf Du plessis. We all know that IPL means the gathering of star players where the best players from different countries of the world are selected to play in IPL. As the best players participate in different teams of IPL this cricket league is much more exciting even as every match brings joy to the spectators. The opening match of this year's 2024 IPL League is going to start with much more excitement.

Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challenger Bangalore are the two strongest teams of IPL, not only these two teams are the strongest teams of IPL, but all the teams in IPL are very strong and each team has the ability to beat each team. It has been reported that MS Dhoni will not captain this season of IPL and Ruturaj Gaikwad will captain CSK. MS Dhoni's captaincy is the best of all time, maybe we will miss his captaincy directly this season but even if MS Dhoni is not the official captain, he may take all the decisions on the field. Only Ruturaj Gaikwad has been named as the team captain but MS Dhoni will be on the field.

Like the first match, England women's team won today's match against New Zealand women's team. England women's team got a pretty easy win. However, they cannot provide big targets. However, since the New Zealand batsmen's performance was weak and erratic, England did not face any problem in winning the match.

The England team set a target of 161 runs in the first match. England won the match by 27 runs. England has given a target of 150 runs in today's match. New Zealand women's team today collected 134 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

We haven't seen a good performance from the New Zealand women's team in the last two series. I was sure that the New Zealand women's team would not win the series against England. Still, I thought the series would be competitive. But if New Zealand's batsmen bat so badly, New Zealand women's team will be defeated in all the matches of the series.

The performance of the New Zealand women's team is not regular. Even against Pakistan in the last series, we did not see a consistent performance from the New Zealand women's team. The New Zealand Women's team lost the T20 series against Pakistan after losing both matches in the T20 format.

Against England I thought New Zealand would do well. Because the New Zealand women's team managed to win both the warm-up matches. England Women batted poorly in both warm-up matches, so New Zealand won both. But in the first two matches of the series, England women's team performed well. And I agree with you that if the New Zealand batsmen don't perform well in the coming matches, then England will lose all the 5 match in this series.

[AirtelBuzz]

In yet another match New Zealand women's team was defeated by England women's team. In the first T20I between England Women and New Zealand Women, England Women batted first and sent New Zealand Women to bat later and they were defeated by England by 27 runs. Similarly, in the second T20 match, England Women's team batted first and sent New Zealand Women's team to bat next, they were defeated by 15 runs.

In these two T20 matches we did not see any improvement in the batsmen of the New Zealand women's team as their runs were almost equal in both the matches. One New Zealand Women's batsman completed a half-century in the first T20I but no New Zealand Women's batsman completed a half-century in the second T20I. Maybe due to batting failure, New Zealand Women's team lost both matches against England Women's team.

Chennai Super Kings are in a state of flux after Mahendra Singh Dhoni unexpectedly stepped down as the captain of the team. Ruturaj Gaikwad is a talented cricketer, but we are not sure how he will perform as a captain. Royal Challenger Bangalore on the other hand is a group of very experienced players, with Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj expected to be named in the playing XI. CSK is not that bad either, as they have Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur.

Rutu has all the qualities and which somewhat resembles the style of Dhoni, obviously it's not fair even to compare them at any point but I feel this decision was taken after MSD told that it's the time for transition and this might be his final season so he is going to try to form the team with another leader and he will always be there to give insights and also in pressure situation he could guide him what can be done.

RCB is great team but we also have to look at the venue where this match is happening and Chepauk is fortress for Chennai other than MI so CSK has more chance to start with a victory.

Just FYI, RCB had name update and now it's Royal Challengers Bengaluru instead of Bangalore. Not like this matters much, but I felt like saying it anyway.

it's good that captain change took place while Dhoni is in squad, it would have been miles worse for CSK had Dhoni was not there at all and new captain was decided. For Gaikwad, this captainship is grooming process, it's MSD who will still reign the team.

Regarding names you mentioned, I think Cam Green deserves place there, he will give much needed strength to RCB's middle order.

Hmm. I felt Bangalore sounded better, but whatever. Anyway, there's a lot of pressure on the men's team now after their female counterparts secured a trophy within just 2 seasons though there are fewer opponents in the WPL in comparison.

I get the principle behind all of this, but I still wanted MSD to continue as the captain until he retired completely. Anyway, he will still be seen as the captain of CSK despite this change frankly speaking.
