T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Some godmode level of shithourery from the Murli Kartik on the comms.

Fielder takes a simple catch and the dude goes on to say oh i think he misjudged it and followed by taking the name of a different player and obviously didn't correct his mistake. These sorts of commentators deserve perma ban.

I wonder if RCB were afraid of chasing another 250+ total and it made them opt for the batting first. Your bowlers won't go for 250+ runs if your batters get bundled up within the 200 runs mark first. 

They most definitely were afraid of chasing another huge total which is the case with almost every team against SRH who are on a ridiculously crazy high when batting first in this particular season.

RCB look like they are all set to score something close to 210 which is not enough against SRH who I placed a bet on earlier.

Well look at the bright we have another 200+ score and Kohli gave a new anchor inning to his cheerleaders.

Happy Birthday Sachin Tendulkar: Batting legend celebrates 51st birthday

A 16-year-old man against Pakistani Harmful bowlers like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younus, and Shoaib Akther had to face a lot of harmful things as Waqar Younus gave a bouncer to him and hit directly on his head but still was playing for the team and yesterday was the birthday of him. Yes, this is Sachin Tendulkar, a legendary player for Indian Cricket Team.

This is the player who has the award of most centuries in ODI but Virat Kohli broke that record in 2023 but he has the record to hit most 90s, he was out in 90+ runs and under 100, and he was out like this 18 times. He is one of the best player for ODI, T20 and Test matches.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is an amazing and talented and legendary player who has taken all the beauty of cricket in his name. If we want to highlight his career and performance in the game of cricket, we may not be able to finish the says. He is still considered as the number one batsman in the world. He is still the highest run scorer in ODI format and Test format till now no batsman has surpassed his record of most runs. I witnessed one of his records first hand when he completed his 100th century in the match against Bangladesh.

Sachin scored his 100th century in the match India lost to Bangladesh and the match was in a major tournament like the Asia Cup which was held in 2012. As long as there is cricket, Sachin Tendulkar's name will be written in golden letters.He is known as the Little Master throughout the cricketing world.

Four sixes have become a rarity in the IPL where a team scores over 200 runs and still gets beaten. In today's match, RCB has set a target of 207. Although it is very tough to meet this target in T20, it is not difficult for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL to meet this target.
Team 37 runs Sunrisers Hyderabad lost one more wicket i.e. two wickets fell Sunrisers Hyderabad are now under a lot of pressure so it will be very difficult for Sunrisers Hyderabad to win today's match.

[synchronym]

The New Zealand team set a target of 179 runs to Pakistan with excellent batting. New Zealand's batsmen batted responsibly early on which allowed Pakistan to set a target of 179 runs. Batsmen of New Zealand team have batted responsibly, New Zealand can bowl aggressively against Pakistan from the beginning, then New Zealand team can win against Pakistan. Both teams will want to win the match with their best performance in today's match. If Pakistan batsmen can bat responsibly then Pakistan team can also win against New Zealand. Let's see how well New Zealand bowlers can perform against Pakistan in the end.

In the 4th match of the T20 series between New Zealand and Pakistan, the Pakistan team is bowling by opting to bowl first. The bowling of Pakistan team bowlers is not very favorable. The bowlers of the Pakistan team bowled 7.4 overs so far, except for one wicket of the New Zealand team, the bowlers of the Pakistan team could not take any wicket. Now, if the bowlers of the Pakistan team continue to bowl badly, then the Pakistan team will have to face a much bigger target given by the New Zealand team. In my opinion, Pakistan bowlers should strengthen their bowling at this moment. Now let's see what the bowlers of Pakistan team can do in the end.

Just one behind for play and New Zealand squad is very close to complete their batting Inning. Their batting Inning performance is ongoing very impressive and Tim Robinson batting skills was amazing and we all are know their squad members are not internationally cricket player and most of squad members participated in different competitions. Tim Robinson achieved mid century off 36 deliveries and other batter was also connected with his batting partnership Tom Blundell collected 28 deliveries. Total defeating target was collected by New Zealand squad is 178 scores with lost of 7 wickets. Abbas Afridi bowler performance was incredible out other bowler of Pakistan squad, this bowler picked up 3 good batter wickets Tim Robinson, Josh Clarkson and Michael Bracewell. Let's see what happen in Pakistan squad batting Inning, their squad member will achieve this target and get a victory.

What's happening at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium? Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost three crucial wickets so far. And all three are big names - Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram. Now they have Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen. So different from the past matches for SRH. They are struggling against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers. And surprisingly, it is Yash Dayal and Swapnil Singh among the wickets. Advantage for RCB at the moment.

Pakistan is going through tough times now. The team is not able to play well with the second row squad of New Zealand. Pakistan team was defeated in the previous match. And the series is now tied at 1-1.

New Zealand's batsmen performed quite well today. New Zealand set a big target of 179 runs. Considering the pitch it is quite a big target. The performance of New Zealand's top order three batsmen was very good. Tim Robinson was dismissed for 51 runs.

Pakistan lost the crucial wicket of Babar Azam early in their innings. Babar got out after collecting only 5 runs from 4 balls. But Saim Ayub and Usman Khan are batting very well now. Pakistan collected 28 runs losing 1 wicket in 3 overs.

If they win tonight then RCB's fans and particularly management will ride this for a full season xD. After all, mighty Sunrisers are sweating against the weakest bowling lineup and that too at home game.

The match looks done and dusted to me but I won't mind if someone spanks Siraj for a 40-ish run spell.

The 4th T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan is underway.  Pakistan after winning the toss decided to bowl and New Zealand openers are on fire. After 5 overs New Zealand score is 56 and they have lost just one wicket of Tom Blundell. If New Zealand keep moving like that then they will score around 180 which will be a competitive target. Pakistan bowlers need to pick wickets to stop New Zealand from scoring runs.

In this match, I think the wickets of Abbas Afridi were not effort in it of Abbas Afridi because if you have seen the match then you can relate that the two catches which were very hard to catch and easily can be dropped.
Iftikhar Ahmed picked those wickets in such a tough situation that is why I am saying this but also his effort on the 6th wicket where he has done a wonderful inside yorker that could not be played by the batsmen and the batsmen lost his wicket.
He picked three wickets of which two were the effort of Iftikhar Ahmed and he picked just a wicket by his effort.

NZ batsmen have done a good job and now there bowlers are doing good job. Pakistan in deep trouble as they have lost three key wickets in power play and score is 48. NZ are very much in control of the match at the moment and Pakistan need someone to bat exceptionally well to get team out of this troubled situation. Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman are batting at the moment and all eyes on this pair to perform something for the country.

I won't be surprised at all if Pakistan loses today's match as well. And right now it looks like Pakistan will lose. We have seen good batting from New Zealand batsmen. Also New Zealand bowlers are bowling very well today.

New Zealand's bowlers picked up all three wickets of Pakistan's top order in 7 overs. Pakistan collected 54 runs in 7 overs. Pakistan is collecting an average of 7.7 runs per over. Pakistani batsmen need to collect 9.6 runs per over to win. Pakistan now need 125 runs off 78 balls.

[Sithara007]

Sunrisers Hyderabad were in such good momentum, but they are going to lose the match today. They performed so well against the top teams, only to go down to a team that is at the rock bottom of the points table - the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. SRH will remain at no.3 position, as their NRR is better than Lucknow SuperGiants. And RCB will remain at the rock bottom despite the win today. Their NRR is worse than any other team in this edition of the Indian Premier League.

At the end of 16 overs, Pakistan collected 133 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. The way Pakistan started their innings, I thought they were going to lose this match for sure. The team lost 3 wickets for 46 runs and the fourth wicket for 79 runs. At the same time, their batting was very slow. With Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar's responsible batting, the team is now in a good position. Iftikhar and Fakhar zaman are batting very carefully now.

Pakistan must collect 46 runs to win from the last 24 balls. Pakistan will have to score an average of 12 runs per over. Both Fakhar and Iftikhar are experienced batsmen. And both are capable of batting at a smart strike rate. If these two batsmen stay at the crease, Pakistan will have no problem in winning this match.

[libert19]

Shahbaz Ahmed should have started going for big hits early, what's point of taking comfortable singles when chase demands more? He played 40 run inning in which there were mere 2 boundaries, lol.

I rather appreciate Cummins inning, he knew what was the demand and played accordingly, doesn't matter if he got out.

And Pakistan lost this match by 4 runs but this is really a enjoyable match and as well as also very closed match. Both team Pakistan and New Zealand perform a competitive match. In the beginning of this series, I thought that the New Zealand team will lose this series badly, but the New Zealand team has finally managed to turn around completely in this series.  However, the match on April 27 will decide which team will win the series.
If I talk about today's match then I will say that both team's players gave almost same performance but Pakistan didn't have much team work that's why they lost except Fakhar Zaman of Pakistan team no one could score a good run today and that's why I think they won today's match  lost. And as well as I also don't lose my bet.

Shahbaz Ahmed batted really well against Delhi Capitals. He made 59 runs from 29 balls. Against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he made 40 runs, at a run a ball. And this was a match where the required run rate was more than 10. Pat Cummins came in at no.8 and returned with a strike rate of more than 200. IMO, Cummins could have come ahead of Shahbaz. But then the management decided in favor of Shahbaz after his performance against DC. By the time Cummins got out, it was all over.

Fakhar Zaman batted in a responsible batting manner after losing wickets at the beginning of New Zealand's target of 179 runs. Pakistan opener batsmen did not bat well against New Zealand in today's match if opener batsmen could have batted well Pakistan could have won against New Zealand. New Zealand bowlers bowled very well especially Will O'Rourke bowled very well taking three wickets for 36 runs in four overs. New Zealand beat Pakistan by four runs in dramatic fashion.

And as well as I also don't lose my bet.

From the beginning of the innings, the performance of the Pakistani batsmen was poor. The team lost wickets quickly. As a result, the batsmen's batting was very slow. Pakistan mustered just 80 runs in the first 10 overs and lost four wickets. Fakhar Zaman's responsible batting made the match competitive. If Fakhar could not bat well, the team would have lost this match by a big margin. Iftikhar managed to collect 23 runs but his batting was very slow.

William O'Rourke bowled well today. William O'Rourke gave only 27 runs in 4 overs. He picked up three important wickets of Saim Ayub, Babar and Iftikhar.

Pakistan team is in very bad form. The team is not able to win with this New Zealand squad. I don't think the team will do well in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

[Sithara007]

179 was not a very big target. New Zealand won only because of their bowlers. Jacob Duffy was expensive early on, but then William O’Rourke and Ben Sears managed to turn things around for the Kiwis. Michael Bracewell also did his part. He was economical, and then picked up the wicket of Shadab Khan. Pakistan management maybe concerned. This is a home series for them, and New Zealand is not exactly the strongest team in T20 format. At the moment, Kiwis are leading the series by 2-1.
