T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[noormcs5]

England batsmen did not perform well in this match. And made very few targets. In this match their batsmen could not make a difficult target.  If their bowlers work hard and struggle this target can become difficult. And similar situations are going on. Pakistan batsmen need 50 runs off 26 balls to win the match.  And it can be difficult for them.  And at that time his 6 wickets will fall.  And now if we do not work hard and struggle then Pakistan will lose the match.  And according to my opinion Pakistan will lose the match.  But we can only predict now.  The result of the match will be given at the end.  Pakistan are not emphasize on their perform. The condition of Pakistan batsmen is very bad.  I find it very difficult for them to win.  Because their perform run very badly.  They now need 37 runs off 16 balls to win.  And these cannot be made of flax.  Because the bowlers are batting.  And finally see the result.

Pakistan bowlers played very well but their batsmen were not doing as well as they have to do a lot better. The Pakistan team had a chance to win in the last because, at that time Imad Wasim could take the match away from the England team and with him Iftikhar Ahmed could chnage the match results too, but they both unable to do so.
 
These both are wonderful players and finishers but sadly, Iftikhar Ahmed was out then Shaheen Shah Afridi came and then Imad Wasim also lost his wicket so the Pakistan team all out under 161 score because they made 160 runs and lost the match by 23 runs. The next match will play tomorrow so hope good for that match.

Last match and one last hope that we'd see Glenn Phillips playing, since Aiden Markram failed once again as 4th foreigner spot, I'd like to hope that Cummins would have Phillips play in the grand finale, and increase the odds of SRH winning the cup.

Abhishek and Shahnaz taking 5 wickets combined was surprise to me in qualifier 2 or is that RR choked hugely?  if there is going to be same help for spinners in today's game, Phillips can be handy bowler as well, and can help SRH give crucial breakthroughs.

[JSRAW]

SRH seems the favorite as they already played knockout in Chepuk and the final is scheduled there as well so they have a slight advantage, although KKR looks like a winning team to me but Indian skipper (Iyer) choking against Aussie (Patty) is not a new thing in Indian cricket. 

Seems like KKR are the favourites while SRH are the underdogs in this one since most sites are giving 1.9 odds for Kolkata and 2.1 odds for Hyderabad. Makes sense considering the fact that KKR whooped SRH in their previous encounter.

I still feel Hyderabad will end up winning though it will probably go down to the wire since both teams are doing well in all 3 departments. Excited!

Yeah, Kolkatta has beaten em and were a table topper so guess Hyderabad potentially going into the finals as an underdog. Tbh Stage is set for Pat Cummins and Sexy Iyer, both of them lead their team nicely.

For the finals, i won't read into odds much because it's tough to predict and anyone can choke at the final stage. Can only hope for a cracker contest and man I'm still waiting for the first Super Over scenario.

It cannot be said that the Pakistani batsmen performed poorly as the pitch was a batting friendly pitch.   The performance of the Pakistani bowlers was quite good. Pakistani bowlers were able to stop the England team within 183 runs. Imad Washim bowled well in this match.   He picked up two wickets for just 19 runs in 4 overs. Apart from Jos Buttler and Will Jacks, none of England's batsmen can play big innings.

Pakistan's batting as usual was very poor in this match as well. This team is still lagging behind due to poor and erratic batting. Both openers Rizwan and Saim Ayub are not batting well. Pakistan team lost by 23 runs due to erratic performance of batsmen.

Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bowl first against the United States in the third T20 match. Today the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled aggressively from the start due to which the US batsmen could not score very well and the US was bowled out for just 104 runs. Bangladesh bowlers bowled very well today. Especially Mustafizur Rahman bowled brilliantly, Mustafizur Rahman alone got six wickets. However, the great performance of the Bangladesh team was very necessary in today's match.

Finally Bangladesh team won an important match after two consecutive defeat and series defeat too but at the end they safe thier country from embarrassment of White wash series against a very weak team United states of America, it's true that for a first time USA won a match against them but to be honest they really give them tough time and it's difficult to believe that Bangladesh will comback in this series after such brutal defeats. Anyway they should work on Thier batting strength because no doubt they have several quality pacers but thier batting unable to filled the required gap and thus became main reason of thier defeat. According to score board Bangladesh chased down the required Target without losing even single win and I think that the performance required from them throughout the series not in just last so that they will get handouts lead

Congratulations to USA for winning the series from Bangladesh. In last T20 USA made only 104 in batting first. Bangladesh bowlers excellent spell by Mustafizur Rahman takes 6 wickets by giving just 10 runs. After bowling brilliantly Bangladesh team chased down the target 108 in the 12th over without losing any wickets. Bangladesh batsmen Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar played 108 runs partnership which helped the Bangladesh team to won this match single handedly. Tanzid Hasan scored fifty no bowlers from the opposite team USA took single wickets. Bangladesh won the last game but lost this series

[BALIK]

USAa's collection was 46 runs in the first 5 overs. Team USA got off to a fairly good start.   But despite being able to collect 46 runs in the first 5 overs, USA collected only 58 runs in the next 15 overs. As the USA batsmen batted well in the first two matches, I thought the USA batsmen would do well in today's match as well.   But due to Mustafiz's excellent bowling USA could not collect big in this match.   Mustafiz took 6 wickets giving only 10 runs. 
USA batsmen as well as bowlers bowling was very bad today. The bowlers of USA could not take even one wicket of Bangladesh. Tanzid Hasan scored 58 runs off 42 balls and Soumyo Sarker was unbeaten on 43 runs off 28 balls.   If the Bangladeshi batsmen could have performed like this in the last two matches, then Bangladesh would have won the last two matches as well.

This time the US team was without many of their regular players. So Bangladesh effectively won against a second string United States side. The world cup is going to start in a few days from now, and I am not finding too many positives from the recent performance of the Bangladeshi national side. I would be very surprised if they manage to qualify for the second phase. They are in a very tough group, alongside South Africa and Sri Lanka. Also, they need to face two of the strongest associate nations - Nepal and Netherlands.

The way Bangladesh have performed in their last 2/3 series, it would be foolish to expect too much from this team in the World Cup.   Even I will say Bangladesh team can't win even one match in T20 World Cup.   If Bangladesh team can win any match then it will be miracle.

I have no complaints about the performance of Bangladesh's bowlers. However, Bangladesh's batting order is very weak.   There is no batsman in the squad who is capable of batting responsibly and at a decent strike rate.   Bangladeshi batsmen cannot bat at 120+ strike rate in T20 format.   If batting so slow, I don't see the possibility of Bangladesh winning any World Cup match.

Pakistan bowlers did well apart from Shadab Khan, who was in the worst bowling form. He delivered the most expensive spell of his T20I career in the last match.  Pakistan should play him as a batsman and give Abrar a chance against England in the next game. Usman Khan is still waiting for his first chance against England.

Pakistan's batting is not performing well after they broke their opening pair. Saim Ayub is not making any impact at the top; his poor performance concerns Pakistan. Their middle order is the main culprit. Azam is a waste cause. Iftikhar is only good for 10 to 15 balls and no finisher is in the side. What Pakistan lack, at the moment, is a solid middle order. They are putting pressure back on Babar and Rizwan.

There are a lot of changes that need to be made in the Pakistan batting lineup if they want to deliver better results otherwise, they will be struggling in the upcoming matches too.

There is no advantage for Saim Ayub in the team, he is the league bully. Muhammad Haris is better than Saim Ayub. I think Babar Azam have to open the innings with Muhammad Rizwan as there was a huge partnership between them in some time before but now Saim Ayub break this rhythm.

However, Babar Azam is the captain, now he has to play at number 2 instead of playing at number three and gave a chance to Saim Ayub on three while on the fourth, he has to give batting to Fakhar Zaman. Then Azam Khan and other players can play their part and the game can be in their control when they have strong batting combinations.

Do we have any closing ceremony scheduled for this IPL 2024 final ?

I would like to see the ceremony too before the final. 

[noormcs5]

He delivered the most expensive spell of his T20I career in the last match.  Pakistan should play him as a batsman and give Abrar a chance against England in the next game. Usman Khan is still waiting for his first chance against England.

If we talk about the English bowler's performances then I think that Jofra Archer is fully set for the World Cup and this time he has done a very good play in this match but after playing 1 or 2 matches, he will be fully set.
I think the England team must give chance to him to play for matches, he played his last match in an England jersey in around 2022, and now he is back in the team after such a long time with a great spell, I hope he will perform as well as he can be England main weapon in the World Cup matches because just around 10 days left for the World cup.

Yes you are right Pakistan bowlers did great job but their batsmen did not do well when it counted. And you are right team had chance to win with Imad Wasim and Iftikhar Ahmed batting but they could not take advantage of it. Both players are good at finishing matches but they got out and team collapsed. Shaheen Shah Afridi tried to help but Pakistan still lost by 23 runs after being bowled out for 160 runs. It is sad but there is always hope for next match and I wish team good luck in doing better next time. I hope they will tie the series and will not end with 2-0.

[libert19]

Lol, Cummins still doesn't bring Philips in squad, and 4th foreigner spot is once again given to Markram, he better not disappoint today as well, if I could ask Cummins for reason, I would.

[Haunebu]

Here we freaking go! SRH vs KKR! This crazy explosive season is about to end with the teams that made it so explosive in the first place which is completely fitting in my honest opinion.

I bet on SRH to win the big one though it's very, very difficult to predict the winner of this one since both are high on confidence. Let's see what happens.

[JSRAW]

Final and every SRH's batter is failing, tbh looking dull final atm because no fighting from the Sunrisers, which is surprising.

Looking at the depressing scorecard and my only hope is low scoring thriller for some cheap entertainment.

Talking about the bowlers the return of Muhammad Amir to the team has no advantage because from the day he came back, we have seen zero performance by him. In his four overs, he was wicketless and gave away 34 runs.

He could not defend the runs and also could not take wickets. I think instead of him there must be Wasim Jr.  Haris Rauf also came back from the injury but he played very well, yes he afforded some runs but also took wickets. He played well only when he came after retirement and debuted once again but later he never played well after that match, but let’s see maybe he could do something in the next match.

[libert19]

Not many comments here despite final. Anyway, cup seems to be in pretty much KKR's hands, there is no way KKR can choke this 120-130 score SRH is going to give.

Sunrise Hyderabad batting in the first innings couldn't get the runs they did and with this run they would never be able to win against Kolkata. Hyderabad's poor performance from the start and disappointing batting set them back a lot which resulted in the fall of wickets. As the opening batsmen could not survive in the beginning, no other batsman could regain hold of the game which has resulted in a very low run rate so far. But at the last minute Pat Cummins who is the captain of Sunrise Hyderabad held the game even though the runs were very low but he did enough to keep the team going till the end. And the bowling performance of Kolkata Knight Riders in today's match made their attack strong enough to become the IPL champion. The bowling performance of Kolkata Knight Riders was so great today that they put a lot of pressure on Hyderabad due to which the Hyderabad team could not collect the Rams. Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, and Mitchell Starc were in bowling form in today's match and they got two wickets each which is really interesting. And in today's match only 113 runs have been collected by losing 9 wickets and Sunrise Hyderabad may not be able to achieve victory in today's match but Kolkata will win very easily today.

Pakistan's mistakes result to their loss against England in first match of T20I series. Pakistan team did many small errors in match resulting defeat by 20 runs. This loss is concerning as it boosts England confidence and potentially leading to more losses for Pakistan. Pakistan team inning,start with poor performance especially Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan their bad performance in bowling allowed England  team to made high scores with freely. Their efforts Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman was very well but it was too late. England's all batsman performance e.g;   Reece Topley and Jos Buttler batted good and score good and secured win. I suggest to Pakistan team must to improve their batting and bowling to avoid next defeat and also avoid whitewash against England team.

Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 113/10, which is the lowest first-innings score in an IPL final. The game is essentially over, and Kolkata just needs to stay calm. There's no way they can mess up chasing this small target.

I'm confused why SRH chose to bat first, I wish they didn't. It seems they didn't learn anything from their last two poor batting performances.

Is this really the final? The whole IPL has lost its excitement.
