T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Haunebu]

RCB vs RR underway! RCB started well, but they just lost Du Plessis thanks to an excellent catch by Powell in the deep. Boult is bowling like a magician for Rajasthan while the other pacers are sucking so far.

If RR can restrict RCB to a score below 200, they stand a good chance at winning.

But, hey at least they won the toss so there might be some chance. Yesterday, we saw what Starc did in the powerplay so fingers crossed for Boult.

Yeah. Hetmyer is back too which is a great boost to their batting line-up.

The USACA is one of the richest cricket boards in the world and they have imported players from all around the world. Some of these players have participated in international cricket before, such as Corey Anderson. Most of the others have first class experience. So IMO, there is nothing to get demotivated for Bangladesh. They lost against a India B team. In any other sport, such a team (solely comprised of foreigners) will not be allowed to compete at international level. The ICC is making a mockery of eligibility rules.

As we are already mentioned and talked many times things are not good here in ICC as they are not well-organized sports organization it's still going with colonial mindset which want to have things which suitable for them with merit and rule of law has never been ideal for them which give them any motivation for the development of cricket like we are having in many other sports organizations.

USACA is surely the richest by money, but they are going to be had no good success in cricket as it needs long time with having roots from their domestic system which is never been easy like we have no good development for soccer and few other sports in this country with mostly Americans love their own sports which are having strong based in this country.

Boult and Ashwin are bowling well today. Due to the controlled bowling of these two bowlers, the Bengaluru team is now under a lot of pressure. Boult conceded just 6 runs in 3 overs and took one wicket. Ashwin picked up two wickets for just 19 runs in 4 overs. Besides, Avesh Khan gave 30 runs in 2 overs and Shandeep Sharma gave 25 runs in 2 overs. At the end of 13 overs, Bengaluru collected only 97 runs with the loss of 4 wickets.

Mahipal Lomror and Rajat Patidar at the crease are very talented. Also Dinesh Karthik is in very good form. So Bengaluru still has a chance to collect more than 180.   My guess today is that Bengaluru will provide a target of around 170.

[Haunebu]

How in the heck did Karthik survive that LBW? That 3rd umpire is one of the dumbest maggots that I have ever seen frankly speaking. These 3rd umpires are absolutely pathetic and the decisions should be left to AI instead.

Avesh Khan deserved that wicket thanks to an excellent comeback by removing Patidar in the previous ball. Hate when teams get ahead thanks to such unfair bullshit.

Edit: RCB choked yet again. Pitiful RCB fans.

United States vs Bangladesh 1st T20

Today will be the 1st match of T20 series between Bangladesh vs USA. Bangladesh is a stronger team than USA. Bangladesh batting and bowling line is stronger than USA. But currently the batting line of Bangladesh is not very strong, they could not show a good batting line against Zimbabwe at home. Bangladesh bowling line is very strong, Taskin, Mustafiz, Shariful, they bowl very well. There will be 3 matches in this series and the team that can win in 2 matches will win the series. The matches will be on the home ground of the USA, so the USA will have a slight advantage. I think Bangladesh will win today and hope Bangladesh can whitewash USA. But let's see how well USA can perform at home.

In 1 st game of Bangladesh tour to USA for playing T20I series and this series have total 3 games and one of three was already concluded yesterday. Bangladesh team is very weak team and they also played many other series and their team players do same mistakes again and again and by these mistakes they lost game by weak team like USA. USA team won toss and they choose first field and gave a bat chance to Bangladesh team but Bangladesh team did not perform well and made 153 runs target by losing 6 wickets. Their bowling line is slower than batting line and they did not break the wickets of Bangladesh team for low runs and USA team chased all target by 5 wickets and 3 balls. T.Hridoy batsman showed brilliant effort by scoring 58 runs from Bangladesh team side but his effort was not enough and he gave best to support their team to win but unfortunately their Bowlers did not bowled good. H.Singh got a player of game award he scored 33 runs in 13 balls and he hitted two 4s and three 6s in last time of game. C.Anderson also performed good same as H.Singh and he also made 38 runs.

Congratulations USA for first win and good luck in next games.

Saying this from the start, umpiring has been piss poor this season. One can understand on-field umpiring mistakes but how come 3rd umpire keeps making blunder after blunder?

They must be high or something, that's the only possible excuse. As of now, Kartik is not taking any advantage but he could change the scorecard in just a few balls.

What the hell is going with Bangladesh. I was not expecting this. I was thinking they will play well and will win all three matches of this series but they really disappointed me. By the way we never underestimate the opposite team.
Bangladesh took the first turn and they made only 153 runs in 20 overs and lost 6 wickets. And I think that the target wasn't a big target. It didn't put a pressure on opposite team.
Well after that USA team started their turn and they played well and they just chased that small target. They chased it in 19.3 overs and they lost only 5 wickets. I really appreciate the performance of USA team and congratulate on their win.

I am disappointed with Bangladesh performance too. They did not play well especially since everyone thought they would win easily. They only scored 153 runs and lost 6 wickets which was surprise. USA team did not have hard time chasing this target and won comfortably. Good job to the USA team. This shows that we shouldn't underestimate any team and every game is a new chance. Bangladesh will try harder next time but for now congratulations to the USA team on their great win. I hope Bangladesh will make a good comeback in the next match.

It was unimaginable that Bangladesh team would lose against a small team like USA. Because the USA team is relatively weak and it is a new team. However, most of the USA's players are foreign. However, this team is very inexperienced compared to Bangladesh. So no one would have imagined that an experienced team like Bangladesh would be defeated by the USA opponents.



Bangladesh lost this match because of their bad batting.   Even against the inexperienced bowlers of USA, the Bangladeshi top order cannot bat well. Liton Das scored 14 runs from 15 balls and Nazmul Shanto scored 3 runs from 11 balls.   Sakib Al Hasan scored 6 runs from 12 balls. USA bowler Steven Taylor bowled well. He picked up 2 wickets with only 9 runs in 3 overs. However, the most important innings of the USA squad was played by Harmeet SIng. Harmeet collected 33 runs from just 13 balls. USA team won because of this innings.

The Bangladesh team is currently facing a lot of criticism after losing to the United States. Of course, the Bangladesh team is far ahead in cricket, but I think their loss is a shame. USA is relatively less strong and normal team in cricket world but Bangladesh team is very strong but they lost this match badly to the opposition team. No cricket fan had planned such a loss for Bangladesh but the batting and bowling performance of the Bangladesh team will be so bad that it is really a disappointment for the team. USA's bowling performance was excellent but Bangladesh team's batting performance was very poor especially the experienced batsmen scored very few runs. They were the best among the experienced batsmen but no one imagined that these players would perform so badly but this loss has set Bangladesh back a lot. USA win, it's really happy for them because they won against a strong team like Bangladesh and I think Bangladesh team players should talk and improve their game.

It is extremely shameful for Bangladesh. No one expects Bangladesh to be defeated against a team like USA. Moreover, the T20 World Cup is going to be held shortly after. And before the World Cup, the performance of Bangladeshi players against a weak team like USA was disappointing.

Bangladeshi players are not playing well against the weak bowling lineup. It is foolish to think that Bangladesh will perform well against the strong teams in the World Cup. As I can see the bad situation of Bangladeshi Batsmen, Bangladesh will not win even in a match in the next T20 World Cup. Now the batsmen of most teams are batting at the smart strike rate. It is not difficult for other teams to collect 180-200 runs. On the other hand, the Bangladesh team cannot collect more than 140-160 runs yet. So I do not seem to win the World Cup in a match.

I do not understand why Liton Das Soumya Sarkar and Shanto have been kept in the team. The performance of the Bangladesh team against the United States is really a very shameful performance. If they perform like this before the Bangladesh World Cup, imagine how their World Cup will be. Bangladesh's performance is going down day by day, there is no right decision in Bangladesh's team selection. Mehdi Hasan Miraj performed very well but they announced T20 world cup team by keeping Mehdi Hasan Miraj out of the team. The performance of the Bangladesh team before the World Cup seems like this World Cup was full of failures for Bangladesh in the One Day World Cup, T20 World Cup will return home with a heart of disappointment. Every country is improving their cricket game day by day and our cricket game in Bangladesh is getting worse and worse. Due to such poor performance of the cricketers, some team management does not allow the right players to be placed in the team due to which the players do not perform well.

I think it's gonna be tough match ever of this season ipl where the deserving winner will be royal challengers Bangalore as because I believe win depend on current day performance and when you get momentum your player moral got raised and they feel more energetic and confident which really help to fullfill whatever difficult challenge they faced at any crucial situation. So I think in that match RCB will have upper hand over them as they continuosly won thier previous match while thier opponent are really in trouble especially at thier previous matches also thier main player buttler are outta here and Jaiswal are out of form too so things will be really out of thier range, but at the end things are really unpredicted anyone can won that important match

At this time I think in the next few minutes, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will start to do struggle because this time they got a big loss of Faf Du Plessis in the start. By the way, he is always out early in this season but this is not a match, it is a Semi-Final level match (the extremely hard match).
Also, it is a must for Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win because from where they come, there is a must for them to become champions just at least one time. Today they can change the game at Ahmedabad, today is the day when they can change the past results and recover their all their mistakes.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru haven't done good batting today. Although almost all the players good a start but none of them was able to convert that start into big score. Virat Kohli made 37 runs, Rajat Patidar made 34 runs and Mahipal Lomror made 32 runs. At least one of two of these players should have made a big 50 that would have helped the team reach a reasonable score, but not to be.

[Compromise me]

USA win, it's really happy for them because they won against a strong team like Bangladesh and I think Bangladesh team players should talk and improve their game.

33 years old veteran Kiwi all-rounder Corey Anderson and 32 years old Mumbai born Harmeet Singh done historic job for the USA as in first match of this Bangladesh tour of the USA they won match and give huge setback which is going to be had problematic for them in coming matches as well while Bangladesh batting having not good time which give them not good target for this game 153 runs were never been ideal target for them with Ali Khan having the worst performance for the USA while he concedes 49 runs in his quota of four overs and just Towhid Hridoy done good batting, but his strike rate was not good for the team.

While in chase we are having good batting from the USA batting line-up with Mustafizur Rahman was the worst bowler for the visitors in this game.

The biggest reason for Bangladesh's loss against the USA team is the batting lineup of the Bangladesh team. How the Bangladesh team lost to the United States team has created a curiosity among the cricket savvy as they were miserably defeated by a much weaker team than them. As a preparation for the World Cup between Bangladesh and the United States, many people expected Bangladesh to win easily against the United States before this match It didn't happen. If the Bangladesh team has a bad performance in every match of the World Cup, maybe they will be the worst team in this World Cup.

Everyone was very optimistic about Mustafizur Rahman as he performed very well in IPL in India but he was not good at all against USA. At least I don't see any hope for this Bangladesh team, they may leave the World Cup in the first round. Do you think so too?

I was not expecting that kind of poor performance from Bangladeshi International T20 cricket team. They surprised everybody. I know that Bangladeshi International cricket team is not performing good but they played very bad and will be expell in the pole matches. If Bangladeshi team lose against USA team that is low quality team then how Bangladeshi team will face the top class teams like India , Australia , England and South Africa. They will lose matches against these big team very easily and there are no chances of Bangladeshi International T20 cricket team to qualify for semi final.

[libert19]

RCB settles for 172-8, should be an easy chase for RR but I wouldn't hold my hopes too high cause RR has performed piss poor in last couple games where they made meagre totals (144, 141), so RCB still have chance.

Virat also needs to give pep talk and keep the squad motivated, don't lose hope just yet!

[Popkon6]

One of the easiest catches in the match was one that Maxwell missed, a catch that should have been taken seriously but could not have prevented the ball in any way. Rajasthan Royals team would have been under a lot of pressure if one player had fallen at this time, if Jaiswal and Kohler Cadmore were opening the time. Kohler Cadmore is out but this wicket should have fallen at the right time. Because Royal Challengers Bangalore have a chance only a good performance will keep Rajasthan Royals under pressure.

Apart from poor batting, one of the reasons for Bengaluru's defeat today will be their poor fielding. Several catches and fielding misses by Bengaluru's fielders today. At the end of 8 overs, Rajasthan Royals collected 74 runs. The team lost one wicket. Rajasthan batsmen have been able to collect more than 9 per over. Jaiswal is still unbeaten with 23 runs from 27 balls.

Bengaluru's bowlers are also not able to bowl well. Bengaluru's bowlers need to pick up quick wickets. So far the match is completely under the control of Rajasthan Royals. 98 runs in 12 overs is not difficult for a team like Rajasthan.

Scotland   vs   Netherland

The Netherlands team won the previous match against Scotland by a huge margin of 41 runs. Even after giving a target of 168 runs, the Netherlands team won by a big margin. However, the Netherlands is likely to lose in today's match.   We don't see better batting from Netherlands batsmen.

Scotland team has given a target of 159 runs today. It cannot be called a big target. Even then we don't see better batting from Netherlands batsmen. At the end of 10 overs, Netherlands managed to collect 63 runs and lost 5 wickets.  Netherlands team needs to collect 96runs to win in 10 overs. It is very difficult as Netherlands have already lost 5 wickets.

[JSRAW]

Shit! Rajasthan unnecessarily made this match into a thriller. Things went to normal because of Parag and Powell but 2 wicket over brought back Tension.

--------------
Lol 2 back to back boundaries, now I am calm lol, that's a T-20 cricket for you. Out of nowhere, the game changes quickly. Hope no brain fade moment from the RR now.

Edit

Finally, they did it!

I was not expecting that kind of poor performance from Bangladeshi International T20 cricket team. They surprised everybody. I know that Bangladeshi International cricket team is not performing good but they played very bad and will be expell in the pole matches.

They will lose matches against these big team very easily and there are no chances of Bangladeshi International T20 cricket team to qualify for semi final.

How is it possible that Bangladesh lost their three players because they were losing their wickets and not against the team like at least Sri Lanka, they have done this against the United States of America? At that time, the captain was also out on three runs, this is not a way a team like Bangladesh should have played.
Shakib Al Hasan was on the strike and he was also playing poorly. Just imagine, if he is also out even if the team lost this match then what is the level of this team that they could not play well against the United States of America. I think they have to leave the dream to see Bangladesh as champions.

Harmeet and Anderson the heroes as USA stun Bangladesh

[Out of mind]

Finally, the RR team managed to win the eliminator match against RCB by a huge margin of 4 wickets. In today's match, RR struggled a lot in the beginning to meet the target of 1002 runs, but later on they put in a good batting performance which led to victory. RR batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal batted brilliantly he scored 45 runs single-handedly for the team however today's match is very happy for RR. But RCB lost today's match, and they are out of Play off, however it's sad for RCB that they didn't win today's match. Anyway, Rajasthan Royals will have to take on Hyderabad later to enter the finals, it will surely be a more interesting game. And if Rajasthan Royals can win against Hyderabad, then they will face Kolkata in the final match.

[libert19]

Parag threw away his wicket, thankfully it didn't make matters much worse.

Great catch from Faf, anyone else would have likely dropped it.

RCB was 20-30 run short otherwise they would have had better chance to win the game, they played rather slow in powerplay, and didn't do much in death overs either.

RCB did ok considering their average squad, they should be proud for reaching play-offs, and hopefully owners will choose good players in next season's auction.

RCB didn't have Maxwell do a single over, why?


Now to the qualifier 2, I'd put my bet on SRH to win that.

Pakistan tour of England 2024

There is the match between Pakistan and England, by the way, when last time the Pakistan team played with England in T20 match that was such a high match because that was played in 2022 and that match was the final between them.

However, England won but the Pakistan team have done very good effort. If Iftikhar would not do that over then may today we can say that Pakistan has won 2 T20I World Cup, that was such a good thing for England because they won two trophies in the five years, 2019 and this 2022. This time, in the World Cup 2023, their performance was not good.

Coming to this match, England and Pakistan's first T20 match was abandoned due to rain that was played at Leeds today.

And if Rajasthan Royals can win against Hyderabad, then they will face Kolkata in the final match.

RCB batsmen had given a good target.  But their bowlers are spoiling things.  Their bowlers are not bowling well in the match.  Because of which they are not stopping runs and not getting wickets.  If they were successful in this, the chances of winning the match would be high.  The current situation is for RCB to lose.  Because KRR batsmen need 99 runs off 72 balls.  If RCBJ bat take 1 2 wickets and bowl 3 4 overs with good bowling then their chances of winning will be high.If their bowlers work hard and struggle, it can be a game changer.  Because now they will take wickets and stop runs.  If they succeed in this, they can become Chapman, otherwise the other way is looking.RCB looks likely to win as RR batsmen need 70 runs off 46 balls.  And the RCB bowler has taken 2 wickets in 4 overs.Now finally let's see the result who will win the match and who won't.  RCB team can win the match.  If he bowls like that.  And the match will be won.

At that time, the captain was also out on three runs, this is not a way a team like Bangladesh should have played.

This is what you can expect from a team when the players are selected in the squad as auto choice instead of the good performances. It is completely shameful for Bangladesh as they have lost against USA with their world cup squad. Some players play for themselves instead of trying to contribute for the team victory. Maybe Shanto isn't perfect for the captain. He is unable to take the pressures.
