T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Insanity]

Maybe the pitch was bowling friendly there, but West Indies batting was average in today's match. Papua New Guinea was able to take the game to the 19th over despite giving a small target. There could have been a little more pressure on West Indies from the beginning if PNG had taken the review of Nicholas Pooran LBW. 3 unrecognized team have played in the first two matches except West Indies. Still, both matches were enjoyable.

West Indian team performance is top class. They are out of form in the last T20 World cup but I think,in this world cup ,West Indian team will be champions. I am a big fan of West Indian team. They are big hard hitters and no team players hit like West Indian players . In yesterday match, Chase performed very well and he chased the score very easily. I think West Indians are true Champions of T20 cricket.They chased the score in 19 overs . PNG gave a low target and there should be 20+ extra runs from PNG side, then match would be interesting.

Yes, in this match, West Indies won the match by 5 wickets after going down to bat in the second innings against PNG. West Indies as a team is much stronger and more popular than PNG. So I think it is not unusual for a West Indies team to do well against PNG. But there are many other strong teams in this series. Now in my opinion West Indies team should save more energy to compete with strong teams. So that the West Indies team can be recognized as the champion team of this year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup

In the 2nd match of West Indies vs Papua New Guinea team, Papua New Guinea team came out to bat and set a target of 136 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. Sese Bau got out for 50 runs from 43 balls. Assad Vala got out for 21 runs from 22 balls. Tony Ura 5  2 runs off the ball. West Indies team came to bat and won the match by losing 5 wickets in 19 overs.

It's a fantastic match to watch, where once again the host team West Indies won the match against Papua New Guinea cricket team (PNG), it's true that PNG were quite weak team compared to them but still Thier bowling give West Indies tough time compared to when they played against Australian team where they face most of classy bowler but I think here we get a weak point of West Indies that they struggle while chasing and feel confident and relax while bat first so such things is important for any team to keep in mind in order to get dominance over them as they can be a very dangerous threat for any team at thier important stage. Anyway according to scoreboard west indies chased the Lowest target of 130 around in 19th over and with a loss of 5 wickets.

West Indies vs Papua New Guinea

The first innings of the match between West Indies vs Papua New Guinea has ended. West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl. Papua New Guinea batted first and scored 136 runs in the allotted overs. West Indies bowling line has been very good today. Between these two teams West Indies team is very strong. West Indies batting and bowling lines are both stronger than Papua New Guinea. West Indies went to bat with the aim of winning and collected 52 runs after losing 1 wicket in 6 overs. West Indies need 85 runs to win and they have enough wickets in hand. I think West Indies will easily chase down the target.

West Indies have taken a very good decision.  Their bowler has bowled very well.  Papua New Guinea batsmen batted very poorly.  Their first batsman was dismissed in the last ball of 2 overs.  And the next batsman got out after playing 2 balls.  Their first 4 batsmen had a very poor batting perform and scored only 57 runs in 10 overs.  Currently West Indies batsmen need 23 runs off 14 balls to win the match.  And I hope that West Indies will achieve this target and win the match.Yes West Indies are working hard and struggling to win today match and will definitely win this match.  And finally, I have finished today match the batting of West Indies has won the match

There could have been a little more pressure on West Indies from the beginning if PNG had taken the review of Nicholas Pooran LBW. 3 unrecognized team have played in the first two matches except West Indies. Still, both matches were enjoyable.

What was surprising was that the West Indies only had to play 19 overs with a target of 137 and their five top order batsmen collapsed, so it was clear that Papua New Guinea's bowling attack was much more aggressive than the uniquely weak team, if not the bowling pitch. Had Papua New Guinea managed to score above 160 runs, today's match would have been a win for Papua New Guinea as West Indies needed five wickets and 19 overs to chase down a modest target of 136 runs.

That's the wrong calculation. Based on the target will be the game plan and the team moves accordingly. Here, the target is 137 runs, and the West Indies team had planned to have a slow and stable move. This is why they took the match to the 19th over. Aggressive starts at times lead to wicket losses, and the same might let them struggle to win the match. If it was a high-scoring match, then the West Indies might have decided to go by that choice.

T20 World Cup

So we know that yesterday two matches played. First was between Canada and USA and both team played well. I was not expecting that Canada will make such a huge score but they 194 runs. And USA chased that target in 17.2 overs.
And the second match was between PNG and West Indies. PNG made 136 runs in 20 overs after that they made a good pressure on West Indies with their bowling. So West Indies chased the target in 19 overs but target wasn't high.

Well today there are two matches again first will start in a while. That is between Namibia and Oman. For this match prediction is little bit difficult. So let's wait and see who will perform well in this match.
And second is a big match between SriLanka and South Africa. This will be an exciting match because both teams are from top tier teams. But here I am looking South Africa much stronger as compare SriLanka team.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. Oman seems to be in dire straits against Namibia. They lost two wickets in first two balls of the match, as Ruben Trumpelmann ripped through the top order. And then Trumpelmann got the wicket of Naseem Khushi in his second over, to leave Oman at 10/3. David Wiese kept things quiet at the other end, and now Tangeni Lungameni has joined the party as well. Zeeshan Maqsood and Khalid Kail are at the crease for Oman, and the former is one of the most experienced players among associate teams.

And the current situation is saying that they have lost 5 wickets and have made 70 runs. They have played 13 overs already. So uf they will hold the wickets so I think they will made almost 120 runs. And I think Namibia will chase this target easily but we can't underestimate the bowling of Oman. But by looking at the performance of Oman I don't think so they will win today match. Namibia is looking strong.
By the way I am waiting for the second match which will be more exciting because South Africa and Srilanka will face each other.

Yes you are right I also think they will go to 120 runs almost. I think they will not cross 120 runs. Because they already lost 6 wickets and they have only 4 overs left. So they have less chances to win today match. So if Oman wants to win today match so there is only one way that is a good bowling. If they will bowl well so there are the chances of winning otherwise Namibia is looking strong. So they can win.
And you mentioned the second match yesterday that will be an exciting match because top teams will face each other and you are right South Africa is more stronger. So let's see who will win in today's both matches.

[Bitcoin_people]

Oman vs Namibia is a great match and here Oman batted in the first innings and scored only 109 runs for the loss of all wickets. Many people think it is really funny but the batting performance of the Oman team was not very good due to which they managed to make a small score. However, in today's match, the bowling performance of the Namibian team was excellent due to which they easily pressured the Oman team. Trumpelmann and Wiese were in the best form of bowling in today's match as they managed to collect a total of seven wickets. But right now Namibia is batting and they have lost only one wicket but they still have enough wickets in their hands if they play well in partnership then surely win easily. Jan Frylinck and Nikolaas Davin form a great partnership and if they can play well in the end then victory is definitely possible. And right now, Namibia doesn't need a lot of runs to win, they can easily get 78 runs from just 78 balls if they can bat well.

[JSRAW]

Lol 2 days in and we have our first Super Over of WC. I wasn't expecting that, and that too when it's Nambia vs Oman with a subpar scorecard.

Guess, Associates teams do know how to produce a thriller. One can argue and raise eyebrows about the quality of cricket but it's fun.

Pakistan Vs India

In this world cup we have the most precious content to discuss about the Pakistan vs India match. First of all, I would like to say that according to the pattern of the last matches, Pakistan would win this match but now have to see what is the pattern in T20.

It is a T20 pattern. As you can see in 2021, Pakistan won the match against India then in the 2022 Asia Cup India won the match against Pakistan but after Pakistan won the match once again, but also in the 2022 World Cup, India won the match once again so this is the time for Pakistan to win because one time India and one time Pakistan 

I think No pattern is followed in T20 cricket if we gone into past india won 90% matches in world cup against pakistan. They faced pakistan 7 times in t20 world cup only once time in 2021 under babar azam captaincy Pakistan team beat india by 10 wickets for the first time in history and other six matches Indian team won so  strong team always won in t20 cricket its may be a little bit depends upon luck but in long term games like one day or test strong team always won. Indian team have much stronger in this world cup recently they beat Bangladesh in warm up match before Pakistan Match they will be played against Ireland so their rhythm will be good so its very difficult for Pakistan team to beat india

Yes, you are right that most of the time the Indian team beats the Pakistan team very easily, but still, the time when Pakistan won for the first time against India in 2021 then that was a different team and 2007, 2009, and in other World Cups, there was a different team.

Also in 2021 team and 2024 team, there is not too much differentiate while the team leader is also the same so hope for the best. In simple and easy words, the previous time was different and the current time is different, if you see 2022, then at that time, if Virat Kohli haven't hit two sixes then Pakistan just won that.

[Out of mind]

A great game we saw today between Namibia and Oman. It was really interesting that while chasing the target of 109 runs, the Namibian team drew the match, which led to a super over again. Although the game was very exciting from start to finish, Namibia drew in the last minute, which resulted in a tied. To see such a match on the third day of Group B is really nice but a bit ridiculous. With a target of just 109 runs easily met, the match ended in a draw, though Namibia won the match with a super over. Namibia won due to super over, and they managed to collect two points in the points table.

As you said in ODIs and Test Cricket, the Pakistan team is stronger but in reality the Pakistan team also has not good result there. Yes, I agree the Pakistan is very amazing team for the Test but not for ODI against India.

The Pakistan team is playing awesome where they have to play well like we can use for example CT 2017, when the Pakistan team have no hope but played well there after playing poorly in the whole tournament. Also, Pakistan B team in Emerging Asia Cup 2023, when they also gave defeat to India in final which was also ODI. I am just saying that Pakistan has no good record, but when there is a must-win for them to do their best, they always do this.

I didn't think the Oman vs Namibia match would be so competitive. Because both teams were very weak. However, this match was very competitive.

Oman could only provide a target of 110 runs. After being given such a small target I thought Namibia would be able to win easily. But the batting of Namibia's batsmen was also very slow. Nikolaas Davin scored 24 runs off 31 balls and Jan Frylinck scored 45 runs off 48 balls. Every batsman's batting was very slow. At the end of 20 overs, Namibia managed to collect 109 runs. Oman's bowlers bowled very well. Namibia team was able to win the super over. It was a memorable win for Namibia.

SL vs SA, a match that I'm somewhat excited about. SA batting looks deep, consisting of hard hitting batsmen, regarding bowlers I'm not too sure as SA bowlers who performed in IPL, performed poor (Nortje, Coetzee, Rabada).

Hopefully, they'll pick Marco Jansen in playing XI due to his batting ability, can come really handy.

That was an unexpected match. I was just watching the scores, and Namibia's inability to reach the 109-run target is a big turn in the last over of the match. Frylinck, at 45 runs, was in good form, taking the team towards a win. However, an unexpected wicket fall at the first ball of the final over gave a turn in the match, and Oman bowler Mehran Khan used the chance and bowled well, allowing just four runs in the last over and taking two wickets. Further in the superover, Namibia played well and won the match by 11 runs. Player of the Match, David Wiese, is the perfect pick, as his contribution from batting and bowling at the right time helped them win their first group stage match.

Only six hours and 15 minutes left for the South Africa vs Sri Lanka match to start. The two teams will play on a completely new pitch in New York. Since there is no previous match here, it becomes difficult to make predictions. I feel that the match between the two teams will be competitive as Sri Lanka have several good all-rounders and good bowlers who can make the difference in the match at any moment. But the South African bowlers and batsmen have performed well in the recent South African domestic league and in the IPL, so I am favoring them in this match.

2nd and 3rd matches of ICC T20 worldcup were played today and both matches results were as expected.

The match between Papua New Guinea and West Indies was the interesting one. It was the first match in West Indies, one of the host. West Indies was supposed to win it easily but Papua New Guinea gave a tough competition. PNG batting first scored a below average target of 139 with Sese Bau scoring a half century while other top order batsmen fail to perform well. The chase by West Indies too was troubled but they were able to reach the target with one over and 5 wickets remaining.

The match between Oman and Namibia took it to the super over. The game was a low scoring one. Oman was allout scoring 109, Namibia chasing a low target of 110 only scored 109 at the end of 20th over. On super over Namibia scored 21 runs while Oman following it only was able to score 10 runs giving Namibia the first win.

Namibia needed just 5 runs in the last over to win. But in the last over, Namibia lost two wickets and collected only 4 runs. Due to this the match was drawn. Oman bowler Mehran Khan bowled well in the last over. Mehran Khan picked up three wickets for just 7 runs in 3 overs. Oman captain should have given Mehran Khan a chance to bowl 4 overs.

New teams like Namibia, Oman and USA are playing well. Papua New Guinea team also performed well against West Indies. It was not easy for West Indies to win against the New Guinea team. If these teams can perform well in the World Cup then they will be more interested in cricket. And these countries are likely to become more powerful in the future.
