T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Pakistan/New Zealand 3rd T20I

New Zealand after winning the toss decided to bowl first. Pakistan have given a target of 179 runs. Shadab khan was top scorer with 41 runs on 20 balls.
Usman Khan who is playing his second T20I and gave away UAE contract is struggling so far in this series. He scored 7 runs in his first T20I and today he got out for just 4 runs. He badly need to score runs in upcoming two T20I otherwise he might not able to continue playing for Pakistan team.
178 is not a huge target and NZ have good opportunity to level this series.

Yes the New Zealand team has already leveled the series by winning the third T20 match. One of the reasons for Pakistan's defeat in the third T20 was their poor bowling performance. In the second T20 match, Pakistan's bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, bowled the best but in the third T20 match, the fast bowlers scored the most runs per over. Despite New Zealand's batsmen being inexperienced in the third T20I, they beat Pakistan by seven wickets to level the series already. Chapman has the biggest role in this expected victory of the New Zealand team. Chapman's unbeaten innings of 87 runs off 42 balls helped his team win easily.

In the first match, New Zealand lost all wickets for just 99 runs. They are completely destroyed by the Pakistani bowlers. In that sequence, the New Zealand team is naturally a weak opponent for Pakistan. Perhaps the carelessness of the Pakistani batsmen was one of the reasons for the team's defeat. Moreover, Pakistani batsmen could not perform very well yesterday. The team managed to take only 3 wickets in the second innings. In the 5-match T20 series, the first match was a no-result due to rain. Now only 2 matches are left. Pakistan will definitely not want to give any chance in the next match as losing there will create a possibility of losing the series. If they perform as well as they did on the first day, then Pakistan have a high chance of winning this series. T20 cricket is full of uncertainty and the condition of the team can change at any time.

A really good fortune for KKR otherwise they had no chance to win this match. Especially after Karn Sharma's dismissal, everyone seems to be in a good mood. Karn Sharma has enough batting  power. I believed that if Karn Sharma can stay till the end then the match will be won by RCB but that was not happen luck was in KKR's favor. There was a hope about Dinesh Karthik that he might turn the match into a win but it didn't happen. On the one hand, I am very upset with this match because RCB did not use the 17th and 18th overs. There the pressure on the batsmen increased massively and due to the pressure they lost the match by just 1 run. Although an attempt was made to convert the last run from a single to a double, it was not completed due to ‍slight difference.If the run was successfully taken , many of the calculations would have to be recalculate.

One of the most entertaining game with we have highs paying cricketer of the season having humiliating time while he concedes 3 sixes in last over and at the end we have heartbroken win for the KKR which is now having second spot in league table and their performance is clearly indicating things are going into their favour for having good change to stay into top four in this season while RCB is surely having shameful time while they are now having 7 defeats from their 8 games, and they are not leaving bottom of the league table even they are having few top quality players of the era into their squad, but things are not favourable for them with this all.

Karn Sharma could be the hero for the RCB but stunning catch end the hopes for the second win of this season, and now we are surely waiting for the matches like these which create good hype till last ball of the game now today we are going to have RR vs MI hopefully RR will keep their momentum, and we will have another exciting game.

After winning first game, Pakistan team got over confidence and thought that they can easily win remaining games. NZ have done a good job in third T20I and they have sent a message very clear that they are not weak opponents. Pakistan batting was good in yesterday match but there bowlers were not up to the mark. Muhammad Amir absence was greatly felt in third T20I though Pakistan top bowlers like Shaheen and Naseem were playing but they failed to pick wickets.

Pakistan set target of 179 runs but New Zealand easily achieved it. Mark Chapman was amazing who made 87 runs. Shadab Khan played well for Pakistan with 41 runs but Muhammad Rizwan slow batting and injury hurt their chances for winning. Pakistan bowlers had tough time with Shaheen Shah and Naseem Shah giving away many runs. They also missed Muhammad Amir. Pakistan had two chances to get Chapman out but didn't take them and big partnership between Dean Foxcroft and Chapman put Pakistan under lot of pressure. At the end Pakistan mistakes in bowling and fielding led to their loss. They need to improve their strategy and work together better to win next match.

Pakistan just lost the match because they didn't get the main wicket. I am talking about Chapman. There are some fielding mistakes too. Pakistan needs to focus on it. By the way I missed Muhammad Amir so much. He has the ability to slow the score with his aggressive bowling and he could get the important wickets but unfortunately he didn't play in yesterday match.  Pakistan should learn from their mistakes if they want to win this series. There are two matches left and Pakistan needs to win these two matches if they want to win the series but there are 70% chances that this series will be tied.

All is not currently good with Pakistan because recently we have too many changes in team and at the top captaincy which is still creating problems and their batting line-up is also not able to give as they needed even right now they are playing against a weak Kiwi side, so I was expecting score over 200+ but they fail to achieve this and having just 178 which was chased by the visitors very bravely which is amazing stuff with Chapman was really in good touch against all pacers and spinners which is plus point for the New Zealand.

I am concerned about their campaign in World Cup because with this level of game they can't win in this mega event they have to work out on their performance and quality of the player which is going down in last few months hopefully we will have better things in last three games as now both teams are going to remaining games at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore.

This kiwi team is without it's key players and if Pakistan can't beat such team then what to expect from them in World Cup where competition will be too high. There are two matches still to be played and now it's clear that kiwis will give there best in this series, which in turn means that series will be interesting. Pakistan need to get rid of batsmen who consumed too many balls, it's T20 format and they need hitters who can play with SR of 150.

Pakistan team is in very bad form. Since the last ODI World Cup, the team has been in a bad state. And this team is still not in good form. In the second match, we saw a much better performance from Pakistan. Pakistan team won by a big margin. Since New Zealand is a second tier squad, I thought Pakistan would win the series very easily. But this is not the case. Pakistan team was defeated in the third match.

The performance of both Pakistan's batsmen and bowlers was very poor in this match. Pakistan should have given 200+ target on a batting friendly pitch. But the team set a target of 179 runs. Mark Chapman's excellent batting gave Pakistan an easy win. Chapman was unbeaten with 87 runs from 42 balls.

RR vs MI underway! Knew MI was in danger right away since RR is on a crazy high these days in literally every single department which is why I placed a bet on the Royals and it looks like they have another win in the basket.

Sandeep and Boult have been excellent with the ball and there's still Chahal left to come implying that Mumbai will probably end up scoring something under 170.

I also think that RR has a good chance to secure another 2 points but the odds are not good at all, so waiting for the right time to bet some lunch money.

The first over of the inning and Boult claiming a wicket is an old and painful story for many, especially Indians lol. In the upcoming T-20, this guy would repeat the same.

Mumbai Indians are going to lose, and it is not going to surprise anyone. Ever since Hard dick Pandya was made the captain, they have been going on a downhill journey. BTW, they have some of the best T20 players in the world - Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Jasprit Bumrah.etc. If they are unable to win despite having such a team, then I don't know what to say. Fortunately for them, it is unlikely that they will finish at the rock bottom. That position is likely to go to another franchise - Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

I think the match for Mumbai indians might be over as soon as it started, as their 3 wickets have fallen for just 20 runs . In this he as given a letter to his best batsman . Now they rely on the partnership if Nabi and Verma which is going well so far . But admittedly , it has become very difficult for Mumbai indians.

They might have to come up with this match. Now it is to be seen how Nabi and Verma handle this tough time and whether they will collect high run rate for their team .

I think right now the exact thing is happening with Pakistan which happened with Bangladesh in the last World Cup. They were changing the squad a lot just before the World Cup to find out the best squad. In the end, they were unable to actually fix a squad. I think that is probably the exact thing which is going to happen or is happening with Pakistan right now. I hope that even though they are trying out a lot of things, they have a squad fixed which is the main squad for them. If they are only experimenting before the World Cup, it is OK but if they are going to also experiment during the World Cup, I think it is going to be a problem for them.

Possible but in the T-20 format anything can happen. Look at how Nehal Wadhera and Tilak stitched a valuable partnership and that too with over 200 SR. With this, they are in a respectable position.

Now all they need is a good finish in the 20th over, if it happens then it's game on and we might have another good contest on the card.

------------
Edit

Lol just 3 runs in the last over. Mumbai bottled the finish in 19th and 20th.

Despite having a strong squad, Mumbai team is not doing well. I don't like hardik pandya's captaincy. I think Mumbai team could have done better if Rohit Sharma was the captain.

Mumbai's two openers Rohit and Ishan Kishan failed to bat well today. However, the Mumbai team managed to set a decent target of 180 runs. Nehal Wadhera got out after collecting 49 runs off 24 balls. Tilak Verma played a brilliant innings of 65 off 45 balls. We are batting better than Captain Pandya today. Hardik Pandya returned to the dressing room after collecting 10 runs from 10 balls. The interesting fact is that in the last 2 overs, the Mumbai team collected only 9 runs and lost four wickets. Shandeep Sharma took 5 wickets with 18 runs in 4 overs today..Mumbai has provided a big enough target. If the bowlers bowl well, they have a chance to win.

I was also thinking same as you before starting this match I thought that Rajasthan Royals will win this match easily with zero competition. But now it's the match is going to competitive. Because it is true that Mumbai Indians top order batsmans I really failed to do performance today specially Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma and as well as Surya Kumar Yadhav if we sum of them thrio runs then we will see only 16 run Ishan Kishan mate golden duck.
But Tilak Verma and nehal wadera save Mumbai Indians team from scoring a lower target for Rajasthan Royals. At the end of the innings with the good performance of lower order batsman Mumbai Indians are able to take 179 run in 9 wicket. I think this is a good target in T20 format but in case of Rajasthan Royals luck can be only change when they bowl very good because there facing the most favourite team in this Indian premier League. I have already choose Rajasthan Royals for my todays betting in 2+ odd.

In the 38th Match of Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians team, Mumbai Indians team came to bat and scored 179 runs in 20 overs losing 9 wickets. Mumbai Indians team batsman Rohit Sharma did not have a good run in the batting in today's match. Rohit Sharma got out for 6 runs in 5 balls.Now comes to bat Rajasthan Royals team scored 12 runs in 1.1 overs.Rajasthan Royals team will win this match very easily if they do well in batting.

RR is top team of this year IPL and to beat that team 179 won't be enough. MI should have given a target of above 200 to give there bowlers chance to win the game. RR have started there innings and after 4 overs there score is 35 without any loss. The game is balanced at the moment but if MI want to remain in the game then they must get rid of both openers as quickly as possible otherwise game will slip away from them.

Mumbai Indians are not able to get the job done as they are yet to break the opening pair of Rajasthan Royals. We saw Mumbai Indians batting first as they scored 179 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs which was an easy score for Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals are still batting fluently in the target set by Mumbai Indians as they have not yet lost any wicket due to which they have been able to completely control the game. The two opening batsmen of the Rajasthan Royals team, Josh Buttler, are unbeaten on 31 runs off 23 balls and Jaswal on 37 runs off 23 balls. The pairing between these two has been a big hurdle for Mumbai Indians. Until Mumbai Indians can break this pair, they are certain to lose.

[Haunebu]

MI got screwed the moment they lost 4 wickets for just 50 something runs. Tilak and Wadhera tried hard and helped their team set a decent total, but any total below 200 on a batting track is tough to defend as usual.

RR could wrap this one up within 19 overs itself thanks to their in form batsmen and medicore Mumbai bowlers barring Bumrah(Dude is from another planet).

Mumbai had also messed up the match in the death overs. They have scored only 28 runs in the last 4 overs. The partnership between Tilak and Wadhera had helped them to give a challenging target. Otherwise it could have been a one-sided match. Rajasthan and Bengaluru are having the opposite situation in the points table. Rajasthan has almost confirmed their position for the playoffs, where Bengaluru chance is almost zero to qualify for the playoffs.

This kiwi team is without it's key players and if Pakistan can't beat such team then what to expect from them in World Cup where competition will be too high. There are two matches still to be played and now it's clear that kiwis will give there best in this series, which in turn means that series will be interesting. Pakistan need to get rid of batsmen who consumed too many balls, it's T20 format and they need hitters who can play with SR of 150. 

I think Paksitani team took them light after brutal defeat in second match of the series that's why they are awarded with costly defeat even having his top class player but the way only chapman hit them was quite surprising for me because I taught I will be difficult for them to even hold his wicket long but surprisingly they were brutally smashing them and the main reason for that is flat pindi pitch that's why mostly we having High scoring matches in pindi stadium because of no movement and support from pitch for bowler and here some how paksitan batter played slowly which results in low target even having such flat pitch. Anyway they were trying to test new player so may be after perfect XI results will be different
