T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[cryptoWODL]

English players are leaving IPL to prepare for upcoming T20wc, some have already left, some will be leaving soon. IMO, Phil Salt is biggest blow to kkr out of all leaving for their respective teams, more so because KKR will be without him in important play-offs and in finals (if they reach there, ofc). You may expect me to say same about Jos Buttler in RR too but imo he was not consistent as Salt.

Source: Buttler, Livingstone, other England cricketers leave IPL early for T20 World Cup duty

Phil Salt was the most successful opening batsman of the Kolkata Knight Riders team and his departure will really hurt the Kolkata Knight Riders this season. Phil Salt played well in most of the matches due to which he became the lifeblood of the Kolkata team. Similarly if Josh Buttler leaves then Rajasthan Royals will be in deep trouble just like Kolkata Knight Riders.Just like Salt is an important batsman for Kolkata Knight Riders, Buttler is also an important batsman for Rajasthan Royals on whose batting performance a lot of matches depend.

The few players of the England team who are playing in different teams of IPL are each making important contribution in every match. If they leave, those teams will definitely suffer.

Gujarat are on the verge of getting knocked out officially without playing a single ball thanks to rain interference. They are still hoping for a 5 over game per side, but I don't think they will be able to play.

Even if they play a 5 over game, KKR will most probably destroy them up thanks to beasts like Narine, Salt(If he's playing etc).

The game was abandoned without a ball being bowled. It was unfortunate for Gujrat Titans. They might had a hard time against KKR but at least they would have had a chance to fight. But with abandoned match, they are out of the title race. KKR are now confirmed to play the qualifier for the first spot in final and most probably RR would join them on that qualifier. The next qualifier/elimination teams are still contested and probably Sunrisers Hyderabad would get a place as their upcoming two matches are with relatively poorer team.

The match was postponed only due to rain, if there was any chance this match would have been played. But if this match was started at that time, there was definitely a possibility of Kolkata Knight Riders team winning. But the Gujarat Details team has no chance to enter the qualifiers as they have only five match wins.

The Match interesting if it will be played. But the rain was there and the Match abandoned due to rain. And as you mentioned I was also thinking that if these both teams play the match so the Kolkata Knight Riders was looking strong as compare to the Gujarat Titans. But this is cricket so Gujarat Titans also have the chances to win the match because we can't underestimate them. They have ability to fight with strong team. And this was an unpredictable match.

The match was not postponed, but cancelled (or abandoned). There are no reserve days in this season of the IPL. So if a match gets washed out, the teams will be sharing the points. Anyway, even before the match started there was hardly any chance that Gujarat Titans would have qualified for the playoffs. They were near rock bottom, with just 8 points. Their experimentation with Afghan overseas players failed miserably this time. And at the same time, they ignored talented players such as Josh Little for team selection.

If tomorrow's match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans had not been abandoned due to rain and tied on points then with luck Gujarat Titans would have had a chance to qualify for the playoffs. But Kolkata Knight Riders did not have any problem due to equal points due to rain but Gujarat Titans got 13 points and were eliminated from this year's IPL. In other words, they had no chance to make the playoffs.

Pakistan vs Ireland

Today is the third and the final match of the T20I series between Pakistan vs Ireland. We all know that the series is tied at this time and today is the final match between these two teams. The team which will win it will win the series too. Pakistan performance is not admirable. We saw what they have done in the first match. But still my best wishes are with Pakistan and I hope they will win this match and will win the series too. But here we can't underestimate the Ireland team because they have already won one match so they have some chances to win this match. So let's wait and see who will win.

Today is going to be the most interesting match between Ireland and Pakistan as both the teams will fight hard to win today's match. We have seen both teams tie 1-1 result, they will perform well to win today's match and win the series. If Pakistan can't improve their performance, then they might lose today's match against Ireland and lose the series. Ireland team will not give up so easily, but they will definitely try to play well against Pakistan and fight hard enough to win the series. I also believe that Pakistan has a chance to win today's match, and they will, but of course Pakistan will have to work hard otherwise it is not possible with Ireland. If Pakistan team underestimates Island then they will never succeed, but they have to lose and lose the series, that's why Pakistan team has to have good bowling and batting performance in today's match to win the series only.

Pakistan hasn't adjusted with the European conditions yet, but they have made a great comeback during the second match. Despite Ireland setting a target of close to 200, Pakistani batsmen were able to chase down with more than 3 overs to spare. And Pakistan should thank sloppy fielding from the Irish players. Graham Hume dropped both Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman when they were in their 20s. Rizwan went on to make 75 not out, while Zaman made 78 from just 40 balls.

In the first T20 match between Pakistan and Ireland, Ireland performed really well which resulted in them winning the match. After losing to Ireland, Pakistan team learned from that failure and bounced back well in the second T20I and won that match to level the series. The series decider between these two teams will be played today and there will be equal pressure as both of them will try to win this match.Based on the way Pakistan performed in the second T20 match, it can be assumed that they can win against Ireland today but Ireland are not going to give up. We expect a breathtaking and exciting match in the third T20 match between these two teams today.

If you are referring to Josh Little not playing in last game despite having taken 4 wickets in earlier game, it was because GT wanted to replace Saha with Wade, since 4 foreign players are allowed they needed to take measures and had to sit Josh Little out;  yes, they could have benched Noor Ahmad for Little as well but GT is infatuated with Afghan players, they they rarely sit 'em out.

Had Robin Minz was available, GT would be having dometic wk replacement for Saha but it wasn't the case.

Honestly, Sai Kishor is as good as Noor Ahmad if not better, adding Ahmad in XI was waste of foreign slot.

Pakistan's win over Ireland in the second T20I tied the three-match series at 1-1. The final match will be played today. If it weren't for Ireland's fielders dropping catches, the outcome might have been different. however after a strong victory, Pakistan hopes to keep up their performance in today's deciding match. I think who will chase down the target will have the advantage.

[3kpk3]

KKR is all set in one of the top 2 positions while RR is fighting to occupy the other spot by breaking their recent losing streak. GT have only themselves to blame thanks to their miserable performances throughout the season.

Anyway, big game coming up today between LSG and DC where Lucknow is fighting for the playoffs spot while Delhi is out already.

Ireland surprised everyone by winning the first match against a strong team like Pakistan. Ireland has performed well in this series which is commendable. Pakistan set a target of 183 in the first match, chasing the target, Ireland won by 5 wickets. But in the second match, Ireland set a huge target of 194 runs but their bowlers did not bowl well enough which ultimately resulted in Ireland's defeat. As both the teams are tied at 1-1 in the series, today's match is expected to be a competitive match. But based on the performance, I will keep the Pakistan team ahead. I also think that Pakistan will win today's match and win the series.

Pakistan team performed poorly in the first match but performed well in the second match. And Ireland beat the team by a wide margin, but today's match will see both teams perform equally well. As both the teams have won once in the previous two matches, so both the teams will try to give maximum performance to win this match today. Among them, Pakistan team players Rizwan and Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman can definitely win if they can perform well from the beginning. Because the bowling line and batting line of the Pakistan team are very strong.

The latest T20 match between Pakistan and Ireland has already started in Dublin, Ireland. In the third T20I, Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first, inviting hosts Ireland to bat. Accepting the invitation given by Pakistan, the host Ireland team entered the field to bat. The winner of today's match between these two teams will be able to clinch the series. Pakistan may have fielded their full strength squad to win the series today, their bowling line-up looks very strong today. In today's match, Hasan Ali has joined the pace unit of the Pakistan team, he is playing the first match against Ireland today in this series.

Apart from Hasan Ali, there are three other best first medium bowlers in the Pakistan team, they are Shahensha Afridi, Abbas Afridi, and Md Amir. This is a very good quality bowler. Pakistan team captain wants to use these bowlers as the main tool for winning the third T20 match today, for which they have selected the best bowlers in the team.

Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first as they had done in the last match which carried to them to victory.  Also, in the last match, Pakistan won the toss and they decided to field first and the same thing happened in today's toss. I hope that today we will also get the same result.

Hasan Ali is playing today’s match and it is like a debut match for him in this series, today is the last match today and Baber Azam decided to change the playing11 by adding Hasan Ali in this match, but I think that this is also a wrong decision which to give relief to Hasan Ali.

In the second over, Ireland got a boundary and this boundary was hit on the leg side to Shaheen Shah Afridi which is not a good thing for Shaheen Shah Afridi and also Pakistan because also we have seen in the last match where Andy Balbirnie made a very good runs in the starting overs but later when he was out then he has done enough score that is why it is good to take his wicket early.

As I am saying he hit another boundary and now the first over has been finished without any wicket. Now, Muhammad Amir is going to do the second over, hope he will take wickets that Shaheen Shan could not pick in the first over.

Because the bowling line and batting line of the Pakistan team are very strong.

Pakistan team which is on tour of the Ireland and England for their preparation for the next world cup having not good time specially after having 2–2 against New Zealand b team at home as they lost their first game of this tour as well and then fight back into second match thanks to Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman now in third and final game of this tour they won toss and invite Ireland for the bat first which is doing good job and 95 runs after 10 overs which is indicating now they can score another big target for the Pakistan team.

Bowling was lethal for the Pakistan which is now turned into weak point as they are conceding too many runs and also fail to create problems for the opponents they need to be fixed this before it's going to be worst for them in coming months because right now situation is not good, and their technique is also not good for this format.
