T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[rojan]

In Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe team match Bangladesh team won the match by 5 wickets. I think after many days Bangladesh team played well for which Bangladesh team won the match by 5 wickets. In this match Bangladesh team bowling line was very strong for which Zimbabwe team all in this match.  has been out.

Cricket is a game of uncertainty as a strong team can be defeated at any time. Pakistan team needed to play more aggressively. They scored almost 32 runs in the last 2nd over with a devastating performance. If they could have played like this from 2 more overs earlier then Pakistan team had a chance to win the match. A few more runs would have keep Ireland under pressure. Although this was the first match. I think Pakistan will be able to completely turn around from the 2nd match. It is not unusual for them to lose first match to set themselves on new pitch. But we have to praise Ireland team who gave such a good match. Looking at their performance today, it seems that they have become quite strong in T20 cricket. Because 182 is not a small score and winning against a good team like Pakistan is not an ordinary winning.

The problem with Pakistan is slow scoring rate from top order batsmen like babar and Rizwan. Today Babar Azam consumed 43 balls for his 57 runs innings. Players like Azam Khan are purely selected on nepotism basis. If Pakistan can't beat a team like Ireland then how can they beat top teams in T20 World Cup. Impressive batting from Andy Balbirnie today his 77 runs gave Ireland a foundation to chase the target.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 4th T20 match

To prepare themselves for the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh team has organized this T20 series to play a five-match T20 series with Zimbabwe. In which the fourth T20 match of the series is being held today, Bangladesh has won the previous three matches against Zimbabwe and has a 3-0 lead in the series. Bangladesh is batting first in the fourth T20 match and even the first opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team have made a very good start today.The two opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team, Tanjid Hasan Tamim and Soumya Sarkar made a powerful pair of 101 runs off sixty eight balls.

After the opening pair played well we saw a sudden drop in rhythm among the middle order batsmen due to which they are now getting out at regular intervals. When Bangladesh's run was 123, they lost three wickets, now Bangladesh's total is 132 but eight wickets have fallen. Although experienced Shakib Al Hasan was added to the team today, he did not bat well and got out for one run in just three balls.

In 1st t20 Pakistan gave the target of 183 runs, Irish team successfully chased the target in last over Andrew Balbirnie played excellent inning of 77 runs. From pak side shadab khan was not good in bowling he gave 54 runs in just 4 overs which put pressure on his team in last over Ireland need 11 runs but abbas afridi failed to defend these score. Curtis Campher batting brilliantly with 15 runs on last few balls make a important role to won this match for his team Ireland team won this game by 5 wickets

I think Pakistan lost this match because of Shadab Khan's bad bowling. Shadab Khan's 54 runs in 4 overs made it very easy for Ireland to win this match. However, in this first match, the batsmen of the Pakistan team set a good enough target. Due to the weakness of the Pakistan team, the batsmen of the Ireland team were able to break it. But I am hopeful that the Pakistan team can develop their performance in the upcoming matches and give something good to the cricket lovers

In Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe team match Bangladesh team won the match by 5 wickets. I think after many days Bangladesh team played well for which Bangladesh team won the match by 5 wickets. In this match Bangladesh team bowling line was very strong for which Zimbabwe team all in this match.  has been out.

Zimbabwe lost today's match only because of their lack of planning and patience as the target was only 144 runs and in collecting this 144 runs Zimbabwe lost by 5 runs.
Wellington Masakadza should have been at the strike end all the time but he failed to do so, losing the last two wickets unnecessarily as Zimbabwe eventually lost by 5 runs. The five-match T20 series is definitely not going to win for Zimbabwe as today's match was highly anticipated but could not be won only because of Zimbabwe's batting disaster.

Hey buddy you have quoted  wrong post where cryptowodl is talking about the match between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and you are talking about the match between Pakistan and Ireland team. Before posting or quoting a post always make double check .

Zimbabwe lost today's match only because of their lack of planning and patience as the target was only 144 runs and in collecting this 144 runs Zimbabwe lost by 5 runs.
Wellington Masakadza should have been at the strike end all the time but he failed to do so, losing the last two wickets unnecessarily as Zimbabwe eventually lost by 5 runs. The five-match T20 series is definitely not going to win for Zimbabwe as today's match was highly anticipated but could not be won only because of Zimbabwe's batting disaster.

I have missed today this match because of some shit busynes.
But I will also say that you are saying right thing. Because recent too much even Zimbabwe lost them the improve their performance from the first to match. And I am seeing the score there collected 138 run where the space between the target is 6 that was a close match . Any as I already said Zimbabwe team will White washed by Bangladesh team in this series that coming true in the next match

Impressive batting from Andy Balbirnie today his 77 runs gave Ireland a foundation to chase the target.

The Pakistan team has made too many slow starts and they can do much better but it was also good. Pakistan's middle order is getting stronger while its top order is getting low in performance and they have to maintain both things as we have seen when the people were talking about Pakistan’s middle order then they started to work on just the middle order. This started to underestimate the top order but hope that before the World Cup, they are fully prepared for that and take over after taking the World Cup from there.

Now, the Pakistan team have no route to go back in Pakistan and they have to lift themselves despite having a tough series with New Zealand and not this poor match performance where they lost to the Ireland team. I know that Pakistan team has good talent but they will keep on playing some bad matches in between the good ones.

Pakistan vs Ireland

Pakistan cricket is going through tough times now. A few days ago we saw the team fail to win the series against the second tier team from New Zealand. The series was tied at 2-2. Almost every Pakistani player's performance against New Zealand was erratic. So we thought maybe Pakistan can perform well against Ireland. But we don't see any improvement in Pakistan's performance.

Pakistan lost against Ireland. I still have a hard time believing this result. Pakistan cricket has degraded so much!!
Pakistan set a target of 183 runs today. It was a big enough target. But we don't see good bowling from Pakistani bowlers. Andy Balbirnie scored 77 runs off 55 balls. Also the batting of tector, Dockrell and Campher was quite good. I do not expect a good performance from Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

I feel very disappointing for Pakistan team because they lost their 1 st game. In start of this game, I think this game was so easy for Pakistan team and their players are in good condition and showed well effort in past games of different series but I am wrong today. Ireland won toss in start of game and they gave a bat chance to Pakistan in pitch came in field for giving target. M.Rizwan performed poor effort and he scored only 1 runs and run out by Tector bowler. B.Azam made mid century in game and total he made 57 runs in 43 balls and he hitted eight 4s and one 6s. I.Ahmed also played good and made 37 runs for teams. But Pakistan team showed poor struggle in bowling lineup and S.Khan bowled 4 overs did not collect any out and got 54 runs. Only A.Afridi took down 2 wickets of Ireland Batsman.

Congratulations Ireland for first win and also congrats A.Balbirnie for player of Game award

To be honest I wasn't expecting such bad results from such a top class team like paksitan and things become more curious especially when they preparing thier self for such big tournament like ICC T20 World Cup, I think few of thier mistakes cost them that defeat first baber slow and steady start which isn't acceptable in T20 format, I am a big fan of baber and his class but here he can play a bit fast and aggressive like iftikania and Thier opponent opener Andrew Balbirnie does and the most important things is they should kick out the big and over weight guy Azam Khan because he is just absolutely waste and here we observe spinner were brutally punished instead of fast bowler from both side so for next matches they should pick more fast bowler and secondly took bowl first because I believe they will win while chasing and at the end congratulations to Ireland for thier first ever won in T20 format against paksitan

Pakistan team is very strong but they lost at the last minute with Island team. Ireland team is much less strong than Pakistan team, but there were enough ways to beat Ireland team but Pakistan team has been busy. Pakistan team players could not create any pressure from the bowling side, Abbas Afridi performed very poorly in the last minute. Abbas Afridi could have done a good bowling performance if he wanted to, two boundaries came at the last minute and became four. At this moment, the players of the Pakistani team must have been in control and managed by a good and experienced teller.

Meanwhile, Pakistan team lost, Ireland team performed strongly enough to take their team to the top of the win. The only main reason for the Pakistan team's loss is the poor bowling performance, especially Sadab Khan's worst performance in the world. Abbas Afridi will try hard in the last over of this match to win it all and that's how Ireland players hit four boundaries to take their team to the mercy end. Its not Abbas Afridi you can blame Saadab Khan, Saadab Khan gave 54 runs in 4 overs and could not pick up any wickets. Here Pakistan team has to lose because of bad bowling performance but I think Sadab Khan did not perform well although everyone performed well.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 4th T20 match

To prepare themselves for the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh team has organized this T20 series to play a five-match T20 series with Zimbabwe. In which the fourth T20 match of the series is being held today, Bangladesh has won the previous three matches against Zimbabwe and has a 3-0 lead in the series. Bangladesh is batting first in the fourth T20 match and even the first opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team have made a very good start today.The two opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team, Tanjid Hasan Tamim and Soumya Sarkar made a powerful pair of 101 runs off sixty eight balls.

Bangladesh are really in good form and I think it's look easy to beat Zimbabwe with a huge margin but in reality it's quite difficult because same team Zimbabwe surprised several top team like paksitan at critical situation so I think taking them so easy will not be benifical for anyone. Currently Bangladesh took a 4-0 lead after tonight victory and it will be really help them to set momentum for upcoming big event T20 World Cup. According to scoreboard Bangladesh bat first and Thier top order pair played phenomenal and scored more then 100 partnership but as soon as they got departure to pavilion we have seen a sudden brutal collapse in thier middle and lower middle order which is a thing they should worry about it because in ICC events such mistakes will cost them huge and I think that the main reason of why Bangladesh are most knock out of the tournament too early

That is a shame. I was thinking that Pakistan will win this series with 3-0. Because Pakistan squad was very strong as compare to the Ireland team. But they really disappointed me. First of they didn't make a higher target to put a pressure on Ireland team and after that Pakistan bowlers wasn't able to stop the Ireland team. I really appreciate the performance of Andy Balbirnie he is the only one who pulled the Ireland team to win the match. Shadab Khan performance in bowling was very disappointed. Ireland collected 54 runs in 4 ours from him.  Pakistan needs more practice to stand against Ireland. By the way Congratulations to Ireland team.

Exactly. Pakistan performance was really disappointing. In my point of view the target was Ok but the performance of Pakistani bowlers was not admirable. Because just because of them Pakistan lost the match. They still need more practice. You mentioned Shadab Khan. He gave 54 runs to Ireland and he didn't collect a single wicket from them. He needs to practice more. And you are right Andy Balbirnie is the Hero of this match he played really well and he made 77 runs on 55 balls and he hit 12 boundaries including 10 Fours and 2 Sixers. Congratulations to the Ireland team. I hope they will continue this performance.

What a crazy competitive season! With CSK losing by a decent margin against GT, RR and KKR have pretty much officially claimed their spots while SRH need one more win to claim their spot.

This implies that CSK, DC, LSG, RCB and GT will fight for that remaining spot. What the blazing hell! Most explosive IPL season indeed.

True and for this excellent performance Gujarat titans step up 2 rank their on the point table rank in this Indian premier league season. I am not sure that Gujarat Titan have the chances still for they will fight for the remain spot. But still last I don't think there will able to chance. Because even this match was good next match will be more hard because the opponent team is Kolkata and sunrisers Hyderabad team possibility of winning in these two match is very low.

In yesterday's T20 match between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, the Zimbabwean team performed very well with their batting and bowling and it seemed that they would easily win against Bangladesh, but at the end of the match, the Zimbabwean team was defeated by five runs due to the excellent bowling of Shakib Al Hasan. And although Shakib Al Hasan did not bat well in the match yesterday, he got out by scoring only one run. But due to his excellent bowling, Bangladesh team won, Shakib Al Hasan took four wickets of Zimbabwe team. However, I am not very satisfied with the batting performance of the Bangladesh team because Bangladesh's batting still has many weaknesses. Bangladesh could not collect 170 runs in 20 overs because of the way they are performing against Zimbabwe. Bangladesh's batting must be focused on the current World Cup, but it would have been better if Mehdi Hasan Miraj had been there in the T20 World Cup because Mehdi Hasan Miraz is performing well in batting, if not bowling, Bangladesh's team management should have given him a chance.

I know that Pakistan team has good talent but they will keep on playing some bad matches in between the good ones.

Pakistan team has left the country to play World Cup and before that they will play T20 series against Ireland and England. Pakistan must have made changes in the squad to replace slow batsmen like Muhammad Rizwan but there is no more time left to make changes. T20 is unpredictable format and despite poor form Pakistan can do surprises in upcoming world Cup.

Pakistan played a very disappointing performance against the weak Ireland team. Outstanding performance by the Ireland team winning by huge 5 wickets victory against Pakistan. The Player of the Match is Andrew Balbirnie from Ireland for his amazing batting performance scored 77 runs in just 55 balls and helped his team to win this match. Ireland leads the 3-match series by 1-0.

Entertaining stuff from GT openers, this is what they have been missing all this season. Luck was also on GT's side today.

They kinda choked in last 5 overs though, couldn't get as many runs as they could have, Tewatia might have been better choice after Gill/Sai departure imo, 233 target is still chaseable, match hasn't completely slipped from CSK yet.

On irrelevant note, I used to watch English commentory but Hindi is much funnier.

Yeah, the scoring went down in the last 5 overs. Kudos to CSK's bowlers for nailing wide deliveries perfectly.

I mean most of those deliveries would have been given wide had Khan/Miller stopped chasing them.

Crisis mode is activated in CSK's camp, losing is alright but taking a hit on run rate could be dangerous. DC, RCB, Lucknow, or to some extent, SRH won't mind that.

After initial fall of wickets, I was hoping CSK will get thrased hard and GT would get huge NRR boost but the two baldies and at eof inning Dhoni made sure things remained secure enough.

Ireland was very strong against Pakistan in yesterday's match at their home ground. In the first T20 match between Pakistan and Ireland, no one could have imagined that the Pakistan team would be defeated by Ireland so miserably. In the match between these two teams, the Pakistan team batted first and collected 182 runs for 6 wickets in the allotted twenty overs, this run is enough to fight in the T20 format. Coming down to bat against the target given by Pakistan, Ireland team's opening batsman Andre Balburni started aggressive batting even he collected 77 runs from 55 balls. All in all, the performance of all Ireland players in yesterday's match was worth watching due to which their team was able to easily win against a strong team like Pakistan and even advanced in the series.

Pakistani batsmen got enough runs but it's the bowling that failed to defend that target. Shadab gave 54 runs in his 4 overs and despite that he was giving runs he is not replaced with some other bowler. Still two more games to be played after that and Pakistan need to win both to win series. Seeing the form of Ireland it won't be easy for Pakistan to win both upcoming matches.
