T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[MusaPk]

In the 2nd T20 match of Pakistan vs New Zealand team, New Zealand team lost 10 wickets in 18.1 overs and set a target of 90 runs. New Zealand team did not score good runs in batting but the runs that they scored will easily exceed this run and Pakistan team will win the match. Pakistan team has a lot of bowling line.  Shakti was strong for which the New Zealand team could not give a target of many runs. Pakistan team now came out to bat. They scored 25 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 3.4 overs. Pakistan team needed 61 runs to win this match.

Pakistan need 6 runs in last 9 overs and it's a comfortable win for Pakistan team. No NZ batsmen was able to stand in front of Pakistani bowling lineup today and this also show that NZ don't have much talent in there young players. The players in NZ squad are new but they should have given a good fight. The whole team got out on just 90 runs and lot was expected from Mark Chapman but he like others was not able to deliver with bat today.

[BALIK]

The opening batsmen had the best performance today, they hit the most boundaries. Head and Abhishek Sharma performed so well that the later batsmen were able to score runs very easily. And in today's match, these two batsmen have collected maximum runs and among them Head will be selected as the highest run scorer.

The way Jake Fraser-McGurk is batting, Delhi could have won this match if he stayed at the crease. But Mayank Markande picked up the wicket of Jake Fraser-McGurk. Jake Fraser-McGurk got out after collecting 65 runs off just 18 balls. At the end of 8 overs, Delhi batsmen managed to collect 131 runs. Delhi's current run at night is 16.37.

Delhi batsmen need to collect 136 runs off 72 balls to win. It's not a tough task if Delhi's batsman can survive at the crease. Hyderabad is failing to dominate the match despite giving such a big target.

I don't understand why Rishab Pant is batting like a fool. Delhi team would have been able to win the match if Rishab Pant could bat well. Even if they did not win, the team could reduce the margin of defeat. At the end of 15 overs, Delhi collected 166 runs. Interesting thing is that Rishab pant is unbeaten with 19 runs from 23 balls. He may have forgotten that Delhi are batting at a target of 267 runs today. Rishab Pant's strike rate is less than 100. I don't know the reason for Pant's strange batting.

Natarajan, B Kumar and Mayank bowled very well today. It was mainly because of the controlled bowling of these three bowlers that it became easy for Rajasthan to win the match.

[libert19]

Jake/Porel brought RRR down to 11 RPR, and then this lackluster batting from Pant/Stubbs, Pant is not middling the bat at all, this match was at a silver platter for Delhi and they have lost it. It could have gone much closer if not win it.

I have never felt more disappointed from Pant than today.

[Haunebu]

Looks like SRH is all set to win by 50+ runs as expected thanks to great bowling by Natarajan, Nitish etc. Anyone out there thinking they would chase down 266 is dreaming if you ask me.

SRH are easily the most impressive side in this season thanks to the entertainment value that they provided along with breaking many records regardless of whether they win the cup or not.

They may not but they could have gotten much closer as MI made 246 while chasing 277. The moment Porel got out, DC completely lost the momentum, Pant/Stubbs were busy with their tuk-tuk shots, didn't try to maintain it (I would assume Stubbs was advised to play this way). I would have rather have these guys get out playing big shots than bottle like this.

SRH are easily the most impressive side in this season thanks to the entertainment value that they provided along with breaking many records regardless of whether they win the cup or not.

Yeah, I agree, I was more excited today for SRH's match than say MI/CSK/GT matches. One thing that SRH can do is add Glenn Phillips instead of Markram, I think it would make their team even better.

Pak vs New Zealand Second T20I

My prediction for second T20I went true, New Zealand team was not able to play there full 20 overs rather they were all out in 18.1 overs. Pakistan need 91 runs to win this T20I. This is not full strength New Zealand squad because there main players prefer to play IPL over this series. Pakistan should also have given chance to there new players in this series but they are playing with there main players. Pakistan are so far favourite to win this game.

Yeh it's true paksitan goes with most of thier main player which is in some view not looking fair and they should give opportunity to more young blood but I think they have only series right now against top side in order to prepare thier team for upcoming T20 World cup so I think that's why management took them to test thier performance. Anyway coming to final results where paksitan bowling just like our expectations done phenomenal and get them before even 100 which will be not surprising for anyone because if you had to face these three top class beast bowler like Shaheen, Amir, Naseem then things will be no doubt out of your hand. Usman khan the debut guy unfortunately unable to show his colour and thus through contribution of Rizwan and Irfan they get the victory

Sunrise Hyderabad team performed very well they managed to score 266 runs for seven wickets. Their performance was so good from the start that the batting performed patiently. The pace of life was so fast that Delhi Capitals bowlers could not control it, and Sunrise Hyderabad could not put any pressure on the bowling side. But it will be very difficult for Delhi Capitals team to win today, because the bowling line of Sunrise Hyderabad team is very strong.

What is great innings from Sunrise Hyderabad team, again Travis Head is on fire with his bat and as well as we also see amazing performance from the Abhishek Sharma, Shahbaz Ahmed from their great batting Sunrise Hyderabad team they took 266 which is 4th highest score in this Indian premier League 2024 and the interesting thing is the 1st and 2nd score are also from Sunrise Hyderabad team.
Anyway, Delhi Capitals team bowler gave their one of the worst performance today and I think for their this performance there will be no doubt that today they will goona lose this match.

In today's game, we have one of the best start by Travis Head and Abhishak Sharma which score 132 runs in only 6 overs which is really amazing stuff but Yadav done good comeback and take both batsmen in seventh over of their inning but still we have good positive approach by SRH batting lineup which bring their team at another big score 266.

Now we have start of the second inning while Delhi Capitals are chasing huge target we are having first over wicket for the Washington Sundar after conceding first 4 boundaries he takes wicket of the Prithvi Shaw this is not started from them now we are having David Warner and Jake Fraser-McGurk so can these both do something good for their team or things are going one-sided for the SRH interesting contest is going on.

Nobody could have imagined that Travis Head would bat so aggressively at the start. He played from the 2nd ball in such a way that the team's total score would be more than 280 for sure. However, after 12 overs, the performance was not very good. But the entire match was definitely a high scoring match. 266 is not an ordinary score in a T20 match. To chase that, the batsmen have to keep the wickets from the start and play aggressively otherwise there is little chance of them winning the match. Delhi Capitals started well but their quick fall of wickets kept the match away. But the team needs better batsmen. In T20 cricket several batsmen have batted where their score is less than their total balls they faced. If such a performance in high scoring matches, there is sure defeat.

I think you are wrong buddy
Cause I am not really that surprised about the Travis Head batting performance because I have already imagined that before the match started Travis Head could be a monster for the Delhi Capitals team and that becomes true. Because Travis Head played aggressively not only in this match before this match he played multiple match with his aggressive batting performance. He is one of the best impactful players in Indian premier league and he ranked in 2nd place after Virat Kohli with 324 runs. Main summaries is today Travis Head destroy the Delhi Capitals team with his performance.

[rojan]

Delhi Capitals team came out to bat and got all out in 19.1 overs. Delhi Capitals team did not do well in batting. Sunrisers Hyderabad team did a great performance in bowling and batting in today's match and won the match by 67 runs. T Natarajan of Sunrisers Hyderabad team did very well in bowling.T Natarajan took 4 wickets with 19 runs from 4 overs. Mayank Markande took 2 wickets with 26 runs from 2 overs.

SRH are easily the most impressive side in this season thanks to the entertainment value that they provided along with breaking many records regardless of whether they win the cup or not.

They are showing the power of hitting in the batting friendly pitch. 266 runs is quite impossible to chase in T20 format, but sooner or later this type of big score will be attainable in IPL if the management makes pitch like this always. Sunrisers has scored such impressive runs 3 times in this season. But their opponents have have also scored a massive run in the second innings. Delhi Capitals couldn't score a massive run today for the slow batting of Pant and Tristan Stubbs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad team did a great performance in bowling and batting in today's match and won the match by 67 runs. T Natarajan of Sunrisers Hyderabad team did very well in bowling.T Natarajan took 4 wickets with 19 runs from 4 overs. Mayank Markande took 2 wickets with 26 runs from 2 overs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad scored several times more than 250+
Sunrisers Hyderabad 204 targeted on 208... Lost by 4 runs
Sunrisers Hyderabad 277 runs, won by 31 runs
Sunrisers Hyderabad 287 runs, won by 25 runs
Sunrisers Hyderabad 266 runs, won by 67 runs
Sunrise Hyderabad's excellent performance in this year's IPL is truly unbelievable. They bat aggressively early and the run rate is always above 20+. Only Sunrisers Hyderabad hold the record for most runs in T20 cricket. So it is impossible for Delhi Capitals to win by completing the target of 267 runs. So the chances of Delhi Capitals winning against Sunrise Hyderabad in today's match was close to zero.

This is not full strength New Zealand squad because there main players prefer to play IPL over this series. Pakistan should also have given chance to there new players in this series but they are playing with there main players. Pakistan are so far favourite to win this game.

In today's 2nd game of series New Zealand made only 90 runs for all out. Excellent bowling by Pakistan bowlers the dominant on new Zealand batsman Shaheen Afridi takes 3 wickets while its 1st T20 match for Muhammad Amir after back from retirement after 4 years. Pakistan easily chased down the target 92/3 brilliant batting by Muhammad Rizwan with 45 runs single handedly won the match the main benefit for team Pakistan on their home is that New Zealand playing with his B team. Their main players are playing ipl further pakistan won this match by 7 wickets in Pindi.

Does this mean that all the matches in the series will be one-sided as the New Zealand main players aren't available because of the IPL  On the other hand, Pakistan is playing with its full strength as they do not participate in the IPL.

I do not think this is a wise approach by the New Zealand to send the B team for this important tour. Also, we know that during the IPL, no other international matches take place so why this series is scheduled in this time ? It could have been delayed so that the New Zealand could come with its A team and we could watch competitive matches.

With this performance by the NZ, we can only say that Pakistan will sweep the series 4-0. The first match was abandoned due to rain otherwise it can be 5-0 too.

Here I believe both boards done mistakes but still I will blame PCB more for this all because they have never been well organized and having anything which give them some solid favor if we have New Zealand B team then surely they also needed to allow their youngsters for this series, but they are going with full strength which is not helping them in any way.
First match was abandoned due to rain and second match we have New Zealand bundled out for 90 runs and Pakistan won by 7 wickets which is good here if anyone can explain just waste of sources and time as well if they bring two Pakistani teams and have match surely this could be more interesting than this match which is having no entertainment or anything interested for the fans who were waiting for long time to have some good cricket.

All Pakistan's bowlers including Shaheen Afridi performed well in this match and picked up a wicket each. I never imagined that the New Zealand team would be out in such a short time, because the New Zealand batsmen are helpless against the Pakistani bowlers. Because all the wickets were lost before the 20 overs were over, the New Zealand team lost five wickets in the power play to score just 50 runs. Only the attacking battery got out very easily in this match as the New Zealand team scored only a few runs. But this match was easily won by Pakistani batsmen, out of which Rizwan performed the best.

[FinePoine0]

The 36th match of Indian Premier League will start today, the team of Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will participate in this game today. In today's game there is a huge difference between the two teams Kolkata Knight Riders team is occupying the third position in the points table, and Royal Challengers Bangalore team is in the 10th position in the points table which is at the bottom of the points table. But in today's game I will definitely support Kolkata Knight Riders team and the chances of winning are very high.

The first T20 match between New Zealand and Pakistan was abandoned due to rain. The two teams faced each other yesterday but Pakistan captain Babur  decided to bowl first after winning the toss and this decision was used correctly by the Pakistan bowlers who put pressure on the New Zealand batsmen from the start due to which the New Zealand front row could not score well. The New Zealand team certainly performed very well in the T20 format but their batting disaster in the second T20 match against Pakistan saw the New Zealand team bowled out for just 90 runs. Pakistan team lost one wicket at the beginning of the target of 91 runs given by New Zealand. Pakistan team had no problem in this. Pakistan team won easily with the responsible batting of Babur Azam and Rizwan. Pakistan team won by 7 wickets in the second T20 match against New Zealand.

One thing we have to keep in mind about this series is that it's the second tier NZ team not the full strength NA squad. It's IPL time and NZ players are busy there. Performing well against weak NZ team doesn't mean that Pakistan is strong team. The strength of Pakistan team will be tested in upcoming T20 world cup, for now they can enjoy wins against young NZ team. 3rd T20I will be played today and weather is clear for the game.

Weak points are more common among New Zealand players, as their wickets fall more and the team is put under wicket pressure and the latter players cannot perform well.  Especially in the second T20 match, the opening batsman of the New Zealand team did not perform well and none of the other players could bat patiently for a long time. T20 games usually require an aggressive batting performance, but the New Zealand team was defeated by the Pakistan team by a wide margin. Because the Pakistani bowling was the most aggressive in this match, and Mohammad Rizwan was unbeaten with 45 runs in the batting.

[libert19]

The audacity of Pant to blame the bowlers, SRH's powerplay hammering and blaming the pitch in second innings when it was same pitch where Porel/JFMG hammered as well. Talking about win chance if DC were able to restrict SRH to 220-230, meanwhile when he came to bat required rate was doable 11 RPR, talk about chance!

DC is going nowhere if team's captain goes on playing and behaving like this.


BTW, iplt20 site is really handy, it shows post match interviews as well.
