Pakistan cricket team did not do well in the preparatory T20 series before the World Cup. Only two matches were played and in both matches against England, England beat Pakistan by a big margin. Before the Pakistan T20 World Cup we saw that they underwent army training but did not see any effect on their performance. In the fourth and final T20 match against England, Pakistan's poor performance in both formats, batting and bowling, was largely the reason why they lost against England by a big margin. Having won two T20 matches against Pakistan by big margins, England team will definitely be positive enough in the World Cup and they will definitely do well in this World Cup.

In the powerplay, when the Pakistan team was performing batting I noticed that England’s fielding wasn’t good because if they had done good fielding then maybe they would have defended 4 fours, which counted as 16 scores.

In short, they had let Pakistan make 16 more runs just because of their fielding. I am talking about those fielders who are inside the white dots in powerplay while those who take place outside were doing very good but yes, the fastball also cannot stop by them. Now I think they have to focus on their fielding as well as possible in the upcoming World Cup.

Sri Lanka.  vs.  Ireland

I thought the Sri Lankan team is in pretty good shape now. But the team's performance in the two warm-up matches seems to be similar to the weaker teams in this team's condition. warm up Sri Lanka team performed badly in both the matches.

In the first warm up match, the Sri Lankan team lost against a team like the Netherlands. Netherlands team set a descent target of 182 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Sri Lankan bowlers are not bowling well. The batsmen collected only 161 runs. The Sri Lankan team lost by 20 runs.

Sri Lanka will probably not win against a team like Ireland today. Sri Lanka team collected only 163 runs in 20 overs. All 5 top order batsmen have batted badly. Given such a low target, victory does not seem possible for Sri Lanka today.

Today saw the highest wicket fall of the Pakistan team, due to which Pakistan managed to collect 157 runs for the loss of all wickets. But England team thought this target of 157 runs too small and England team won very easily due to proper performance. However, Pakistan cannot win two matches in a row. So the players in the Pakistan team absolutely need to have more experience.

[Out of mind]

In today's match between Ireland and Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan team scored 163 runs in the first innings. Although the target of 164 runs must be met by the Ireland team to win the match, although the bowling performance of the Sri Lankan team is good, Ireland will have to play well accordingly. Although the Sri Lankan team will try hard enough to win, the runs they scored today and chances are high. If the Sri Lankan team can easily put Ireland under pressure, then Sri Lanka's victory will be assured today. Moreover, since the Ireland team has lost one wicket at the moment, if they are still under a lot of pressure, if they cannot overcome the pressure and give a good batting performance, then there is a possibility that Ireland will lose today. However, Sri Lanka are bowling well at the moment, so Ireland will need to bat well in today's match if they are to reach their target of victory. Ireland will have to play well now as they still need to score 125 runs from 92 balls to reach the win stage, although it will be tough but if they play well they can win.

Looking at the condition of the pitch, I don't think the target of 164 runs is a big target on this pitch. However, the performances of Ireland's players have been erratic. So I wouldn't be surprised if Ireland lose.

No Sri Lankan batsman can bat at a smart strike rate. All batsmen's batting was very slow. If Sri Lanka bats like this in the World Cup, it doesn't seem like they can win a single match. Ireland team has already lost 2 wickets. At the end of 6 overs, Ireland's collection is 40 runs. Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker are now at the crease. These two players are one of the two most important batsmen in Ireland's squad. If this pair plays well, Ireland has a chance to win.

[Insanity]

Once again, it’s clear that Pakistan relies too much on Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Despite a solid start, the middle order failed to capitalize. The batting was terrible, with wickets gifted to ordinary deliveries. A score of 157 is not competitive on a pitch where 200+ is expected. England easily chased the target it under 16 overs.
Congratulations to Pakistan on another series defeat. You've maintained your record.

Middle order collapsed because this was then the spinners were introduced (Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone). The scoring rate went down all of a sudden, and Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan and Azam Khan departed in quick time. Iftikhar Ahmed tried to stabilize the innings along with Usman Khan, and they were somewhat successful in doing that. But in the end, the target of 158 was not enough. Phil Salt and Jos Buttler are in terrific form, and they got to 82 runs in the first 6 overs.   

In my opinion, this is not the best run to fight with England team so if Pakistan could have made a score wall of 170+ then there would have been a fear of winning the match. England batting side is always strong and so are all-rounders. Compared to that Pakistan's batting site is not that strong so they could not score more runs. However in this match Pakistan bowling side could not bring a storm. However compared to England Pakistan bowling side is better but collapsed in this match. And the scoring rate suddenly drops after the opening pair is out.

I agree with you, Pakistan team should have paid special attention to batting site to fight against strong England team. I saw yesterday in the match where Pakistan team's batting site was very bad. You can never expect to win a match with such a bad performance. Babar Azam, Mohammad Rezwan and Fakhar Zaman played unexpected games in yesterday's match. But it is true that if the Pakistan team could have scored 170+ runs in yesterday's match then it could have done something different for the Pakistan team.

No more pool this time?

Unfortunately, forum member doesn't show the interest to participate in the paid pool of cricket event. We have a lot of people active in the cricket discussion thread though. libert19 has already created a pool without any entry fee. You may join there if you wish. Personally, I like predictions pool with entry fee. The free pool with low prize doesn't bring much fun.

The match of Leicestershire vs Yorkshire team has already started.Yorkshire team came out to bat and scored 44 runs for 2 wickets in 7 overs.Adam Lyth was out for 13 runs in 15 balls.Dawid Malan was out for 8 runs in 8 balls.Leicestershire team balls in the bowling line.  Very good performance started. Can't predict which team will win today's match yet so we have to enjoy the game fully.

Although the target of 164 runs must be met by the Ireland team to win the match, although the bowling performance of the Sri Lankan team is good, Ireland will have to play well accordingly.

Ireland will have to play well now as they still need to score 125 runs from 92 balls to reach the win stage, although it will be tough but if they play well they can win.

As an expected result of match, the Sri Lankan team won this match without having much fighting with Ireland team. Ireland team make just 122 run and they get all out at 18.2 Over. Dasun Shanaka was great at his bowling he took 4 wickets and without Angelo Mathews every bowlers of Sri Lankan team get wicket today and I think this is the key to success today's match and from batting side sirlankan team performance was an average performance today and what is why I think winning credit goes to bowlers today.
By the way the next warmup match is going to be Bangladesh vs India on tomorrow at 2.30pm GMT. And I will tell you guys bet on India without opening your eyes because this time the Bangladesh team was quite enough eligible to face loss.

Ireland have opted to bowl first against Sri Lanka. The Ireland bowlers put pressure on the Sri Lankan batsmen from the start which saw the Sri Lankan team amass 163 runs in the allotted 20 overs. If their batsmen could have batted responsibly the way Ireland bowlers have bowled, they would have easily won against Sri Lanka. Ireland's bowlers against Sri Lanka have shown a good performance by the batsmen. If Ireland's batsmen could have batted a little more responsibly against Sri Lanka, Ireland could have easily won the match against Sri Lanka. However, the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled quite aggressively and Ireland were bowled out for 122 runs due to their aggressive bowling. And the Sri Lankan team won by 41 runs against Ireland.

[tsaroz]

Two warm up matches for the T20 world cup today and both resulted in expected team winning it.
The match between Sri Lanka and Ireland could have been closer than the result if the Irish lower order batting had not collapsed. Sri Lanka batting first made 163 and Ireland chasing the target, lost 5 of their last wickets for just 14 runs.
Afghanistan and Scotland was too similar but Afghanistan won by a larger margin. Afganistan batting was led by Gulabdin Naib and Azmatullah Omarzai, other than them, the batting lineup had been disappointing. For Scotland chasing a target of 179, Mark Watt, a bowler was the highest scorer. 5 of its batsmen not reaching a double digit score.

Yeh absolutely they lose some of thier early warmup matches but it doesn't mean they lose the potential to won any important matches, it's true that mostly sirilankan team has shown bad performance in ICC competition especially in recent time but I still believe they has potential to get any stronger side on their day. Anyway they firstly scored 168 runs which isn't look strong target to defend but thier potential bowler make it happen and through thier phenomenal deliveries especially shanaka they get thier opponent before the required target and thus they got a handsome victory with a margin of more than 40+ runs.

Sri Lanka won this match by 41 runs. Sri Lanka bowled very well on the slow wicket, because of which Sri Lanka restricted Ireland to just 122 runs. Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana look like their bowling line can stop any team in the World Cup.
Afghanistan won by 55 runs against Scotland. Afghanistan used nine bowlers to chase down the target of 179 runs and seven of them claimed wickets. Before the start of the main phase, Afghanistan's batsmen and bowlers indicat that Afghanistan could cause the biggest disaster in this World Cup.

In the Australia vs West Indies T20 match, Australia's captain decided to bowl first after winning the toss, but his decision was not properly utilized by Australia's bowlers. Australian bowlers did not bowl well due to which West Indies batsmen batted with power. But West Indies opener duo Johnson Charles and Shai Hope started well but Shai Hope could not control his game for long and got out with 14 runs in just 8 balls. Johnson Charles also batted responsibly for the West Indies. Rutherford also R. Powell also N. Due to Pooran's responsible batting, West Indies scored 257 runs in the allotted 20 overs. But West Indies' batting against Australia impressed me. The way the West Indies team is performing in batting, it can be expected that the West Indies team will play well in the T20 World Cup. Australia batsmen started well in the target of 258 runs given by West Indies but in the end they did not win against West Indies. West Indies win by 35 runs against Australia Congratulations to the West Indies team.

Great knock by West Indies team in warm up of ICC T20 Men series and this game was played with Australia team. Australia made wring decision to give first batting chance to West indies team. West indies effort really surprised me or not only me but all other cricket lovers. West indies set big one target of total 257 runs in 20 overs by losing 4 wickets. S.Hope was dismissed for low runs 14 only but after dismissing next batsman performed very great. N.Pooran made total 75 runs in 25 balls and he hitted  five 4s and eight 6s and showing intense struggle and due to this, he got a player of game award. R.Powell also played brilliantly and scored 52 runs in 25 balls and hitted equal number of 4s and 6s. Australia team only chased down 222 runs and lost this game by 35 runs. S.Joseph good bowlers of West Indies and he bowled out 2 wickets of Australian batsman and played good role for win this game.

Congratulations West indies for amazing win.

The most interesting thing is in the match between West Indies & Australia, West Indies won by 35 runs. Many fans still can't believe this to happened. Although we have seen some weeks ago where west indies defeated Australia. I must say West Indies team develop themselves a lot and they becoming so stronger again. In that match, West Indies bat first and their top players played well. Nicholas Pooran(75) made good amount of runs even he also performed impress in IPL Matches. Besides captain Rovman Powell(52) made his half century. Sherfane Rutherford(47) showed is legendary performance in last overs And total they collected 257 runs. While Australia batting performance wasn't good enough from beginning. David Warner made only 15 runs. Josh Inglis(55) anyhow did his half century. Nathan Ellis and Tim David tired their best and able to made decent amount of runs. but these runs wasn't enough while rest of players did low scores, and able to made total 222-7 runs and lost the match with west indies team

These are warm up matches and ICC Men World Cup ye to begin. And you said you picked India as your favourite team so this is a good choice by the way. And India team is much stronger as compare to Bangladesh team and we know that India has much practice because they recently hosted an IPL and BCCI selected best players from them. And now they will play the T20I World Cup. So in today match I hope India will win this match easily. These are warp up Matches so India can give a loose point but in World Cup I don't think so they will make any mistake. So let's wait for the Match and also for the World Cup.

I agree with your view that India has stronger team compared to Bangladesh and their recent IPL experience will definitely give them an edge. However as you mentioned it is important to remember that warm up matches can be unpredictable and teams often experiment with their lineups and strategies. While India is likely to win today match Bangladesh might still put up good fight. In World Cup India will definitely be strong contender but they can't afford to take any team lightly. Let's enjoy the match today and look forward to the exciting matches ahead in the T20I World Cup.

Teams certainly takes warm up match with ease but the performance of Bangladesh team hadn't been any better before the warm ups and it would be hard for them to qualify for the Super 8s. South Africa seems to be the better team on that group followed by Sri Lanka and both Netherlands and Nepal would be willing and are capable of securing some wins. It would be a tough contest for Bangladesh where they have to play well against every teams and there are no chances of error. India on the other hand is on an easier group, no group would be difficult for them but they are not placed with other good teams like Australia, England, West Indies and New zealand.
