T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[3kpk3]

Pakistan! Damn! Bangladesh got screwed by the Americans followed by Pakistan now. USA were actually cruising towards the target and almost messed up, but Amir and bad fielders pretty much saved them at the end.

This is why quality spinners are crucial. Their pace bowlers are overrated as hell and Shadab Khan is not a good bowler. Epic stuff USA!

[libert19]

Pakistan's batting and bowling is decent but they desperately needs to improve their fielding and throws. Australia won the odi wc last year largely due to field placement and supreme fielding.

Now, I haven't done any calculations but considering Pakistan will lose to India on June 9  , and looking at USA's form they are likely to win against Ireland so they are appearing to have better chances than Pakistan for super 8 from the looks of it.

A lot of hype is being created in the US after they defeated Pakistan yesterday. A lot of people who have never heard about cricket are now actively posting about it in social media channels such as Twitter and Instagram. For Pakistan, it can be really humiliating. Their fans have reacted quite strongly (which is not really surprising, given the ticket prices at the world cup). Now it is not very sure whether Pakistan may qualify for the Super8 stage or not. Apart from India and USA, they also have Ireland in the same group.

Yes you are right India is already a strong team. If Pakistan team can lose a match from USA team so Indian team is much stronger from USA team so I am not expecting that they will from Indian team. And Ireland already showed their power in the previously played series. We saw that how Ireland won the first match. Unfortunately they lost the rest of two matches but they showed that they can win from Pakistan. So I am also in doubt that Pakistan will qualify for super 8 or not. But I hope they will do well and can go in semifinals too. Just a hope not surety.

Feel free to correct.

LOL.. how can you be so sure that Pakistan will lose to India on 9th June? And I have doubts on whether USA can win against Ireland. It is T20 cricket and in this format there is a lot of unpredictability. As of now, it is too early to say that any of the teams has guaranteed their qualification to Super8 stage from this group. And knowing Pakistan, they are a very volatile team. In any one day they can lose to weak teams such as Scotland or Netherlands and the next day they can beat India or Australia.

As Pakistan is my favorite team, I don't want to write anything against Pakistan for today's match. Pakistan is such a team in cricket that it can cause any untoward incident in any situation. So Pakistan cricket will never be easy for people because this Pakistan can cause such untoward incident in any event as we have seen in past events as well.
Pakistan to play till Super Over is also an undesirable event and to lose in Super Over is also an undesirable event. However, Mohammad Amir's extra seven runs in the super over was also an unexpected event for Pakistan. Bro many untoward incidents have led cricket in Pakistan to a truly unwelcome debacle.

Being a Pakistani I also love Pakistan cricket team so I am also ignoring their mistakes for yesterday match. Pakistan is team that can surprise us in both good and bad ways. They have had many ups and downs in past which makes fans cautious. Losing in Super Over was tough but Mohammad Amir extra runs made it even more exciting there could win but these all things were unexpected who knows that Amir will give 18 runs in a single overs with extra runs. Even though team has not been consistent but being a Pakistani I still support them. I hope they learn from their mistakes and do well in the next matches.

At the start, it seemed that the Pakistan team lost the match and could not do come back in the match but later the all game was set once again. In the end, still the Pakistan team have to afford to lose but they fought in a very good way until the last ball.

When Muhammad Rizwan was out then on that time, it seemed that Pakistan's chances were low, after him, Usman Khan came just to hit three on three, then Fakhar Zaman came to hit a six then gone, and later him, Azam Khan came who is such a waste place in a team, but then Babar Azam and Shadab started to make the partnership that helps to Pakistan very much.

159 runs was a decent target set by the Pakistan team when you know that the opposition is a weaker side like the USA but then the bowlers from Pakistan didn't bowl well and it was admitted by their Captain "Babar Azam".  Babar Azam admits Pakistan were 'not up to the mark' in bowling

Here is the Post-match speech by Baber Azam :-

"Today's wicket had help for the fast bowlers in the first six overs," Babar said at the post-match presentation. "But later on, I didn't feel it was a different wicket. It settled down a bit. Because of the early start - the matches are starting at 10.30am - the fast bowlers will obviously get a little help. There was some juice in the pitch early morning. So they utilised that and executed their plan.

"Even in the second innings, I think we also got help, but we were not up to the mark in terms of our bowling areas. We lacked in that in the first ten overs. We came back after that but they had already taken the momentum. But given the bowlers we have, we should have defended that total. On this pitch, I think it was a defendable total for our bowling.

Pakistan vs USA team entered the field in T20 match. The only lesson for the Pakistan team is to learn from the mistakes made against the US team. The US team also defeated Pakistan and Bangladesh by one point. No one imagined that the US team would lose to a strong team like Pakistan. The US team played much better than Pakistan, so they could see the face of victory.

In yesterday match of ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Pakistan Men sqaud again displayed very bad performance in match which being played USA sqaud. Pakistan sqaud is not a weak squad and their performance is really surprising and beat many strong sqaud previously but at this time their squad was total unable to USA newly sqaud who played this T20 World Cup time I think. The USA is the same squad that previously defeated Bangladesh sqaud  very badly. Again theri squad showcased very impressively and a played fantastic match with Pakistan squad. Pakistan squad bowling inning was much bad than Batting Inning I know Defeating target was not high and good but if Pakistan sqaud made some more better performance and put little more strength in bowling their sqaud surely emerged victorious but failed. Hope in next matches, Pakistan squad will display better performance than this match.

I was watching this match live. What was Mohammad Amir doing in the super over? He bowled wide after wide, and then there were overthrows as well. On three occasions he bowled wides, and then the American batsmen managed to get 4 extra runs from these 3 wides as well. 7 runs came from these extras alone. Aaron Jones and Harmeet failed to hit even a single boundary and yet they managed to score 18 runs from the super-over. Instead of Netravalkar, Amir should have been declared as the MoM.

They actually got boundary off the first ball, then it was all sloppy fielding and poor bowling.

For the Pakistan team to lose, a lot of people have faced losses in betting.  Because many thought that Pakistan is a strong team and can definitely win with the United States team.  But never imagine that Pakistan team is performing so poorly in this current season, because the player list of Pakistan team in the past is exactly the same.  But I don't understand why the performance of Pakistan team is so weak, they are not able to perform well in terms of bowling and they are also failing in terms of batting.

Perhaps the biggest news of the T20 World Cup tournament is that Pakistan lost against the USA. First the match was a draw, as a result of which the umpire decided to conduct the match into a super over to bring the result of the match in favor of either team. Babar Azam relied on Md Amir in the Super Over but Md Amir's skipper could not reciprocate his trust. USA collected 18 runs in one over of Md Amir which was very high. Pakistan managed to score just 13 runs in the second innings and the USA compared to a historic win against Pakistan in a World Cup tournament for the first time. 

Here my question is why Babar Azam trusted Mohammad Amir when he has experienced and best bowler like Shaheen Afridi. USA would not have scored so many runs if Shaheen Afridi bowled in Super Over. USA is now at the center of discussion in the entire cricketing world for such a win against Pakistan.

That would be a good idea to do Super Over by Muhammad Amir and at that time, I also thought that it must be done by Muhammad Amir or Haris Rauf but still I wanted the it would be done by Muhammad Amir because at the end Pakistani bowlers who were defending the score were Haris Rauf and Muhammad Amir.

So, the last over was also done by Haris Rauf and on that last two balls of the last over, he got four and six which means the Batsmen understood how to play him that is why that could be a good decision to go with Muhammad Amir but Amir has done too many wides which was not good for Pakistan and that lowered the pressure on the USA batsmen. Pakistan lost the match just because of these wide balls and undisciplined bowling by Amir in the Super over.

T20 World Cup Today Matches

So dear friends today their is only one match which will be played. Which is between

Canada vs Ireland

Here in both teams Both teams have equal stats. And we can't predict correctly that which team will exactly win today match. If we will see the point table so we will see that both teams have played one one match and both have lost. So both have no points. So today my best wishes are with Ireland. I hope that they will win today match and will take the thirsd position in the table in group A. So let's see who will win today match.

If the performance between the Ireland team and Canada is in the water, the Ireland team will surely win. Because Ireland team performance is very good and strong, because Ireland team has experience full players and bowling. They are ready to attack any team at any time, because this season Ireland team is performing very well.

They are ready to attack any team at any time, because this season Ireland team is performing very well.

Today is the match between Canada and Ireland that will start later but I think, this match will be won by the Ireland team because they have some good players like their wicket-keeper and their captain are such a good player while the Canadian team don’t have any specific player that we can discuss.
That is why, I think for sure the Ireland team wins this match without any problems. I think it also can one-sided match. Let’s see what will happen, the Ireland team gave a good performance against India, so I hope that today they will do again good performance. Even though they lost to India, but they will be high in confidence as they gave a fight to the top team in the tournament.

Canada, Ireland search for first points with focus on New York pitch

Both teams have zero points as both lost their initial matches but today is the day when one of these teams will start to move on with 2 points on the table. The team losing will probably not be qualifying for the next round.

They actually got boundary off the first ball, then it was all sloppy fielding and poor bowling.

Pakistan looked under pressure from ball one. It was a poor delivery to start with, and then it was all too easy for the USA because of average bowling and poor fielding. Amir with so much experience in T20 cricket, gave extras in the super over which was equally supported by sloppy wicketkeeping by Rizwan. I still wonder why Fakhar Zaman hasn't faced the first delivery of the super over.  Iftakhar looked uncomfortable even in the first inning against the left-arm pacer. Poor decision-making and sloppy fielding cost Pakistan the match.

For the Pakistan team to lose, a lot of people have faced losses in betting.  Because many thought that Pakistan is a strong team and can definitely win with the United States team.  But never imagine that Pakistan team is performing so poorly in this current season, because the player list of Pakistan team in the past is exactly the same.  But I don't understand why the performance of Pakistan team is so weak, they are not able to perform well in terms of bowling and they are also failing in terms of batting.

You are correct.  A lot of people bet that Pakistan will win yesterday based on the Pakistan match they lost most people's bets. I myself predicted Pakistan vs USA match yesterday.  That Pakistan would win. I was sure that Pakistan would win easily against weak USA. That's what I bet on. But unfortunately I lost the bet. But Pakistan's performance yesterday really surprised me.  Pakistan team lost the match against USA due to inconsistent performance of Pakistan team. The Pakistan team did not bowl well in the Super Over due to which the USA collected 18 runs for one wicket. Batting on a target of 19 runs, the Pakistan batsman collected 13 runs for the loss of one wicket. USA won by 5 runs.

[ZAINmalik75]

There are many reasons behind the loss of Pakistan team, because they could not give good batting performance, they could not create any pressure with bowling performance. Especially Harish Rauf, if he can perform a little better in the 20th over, then not everyone needs it. If they could have controlled the last ball, Pakistan team had a chance to win, but Pakistan team did not win in the super over. Even though Shaheen Afridi and other players could perform well, Shaheen Afridi did not perform well. As he failed to pick up wickets, United moved up the points table as United States won both of the two matches.

I agree with your statement In my view paksitan lose on the basis of few main mistakes and the first one you had already mentioned that when Amir successfully delivered the second last cover and then Haris has 15 runs to defend and he did decent in his starting few bowls but after a lose grip and delivered full toss create trouble because here thier opponent smashed six and and at last ball he did same mistake and smashed with a boundary. I believe he can try some other delivery instead of yorker where he can't lose grip and match will not turned into trouble super over situation. Anyway while second and third mistake is how can Amir be so ruthless and weird in such crucial situation and the third one is instead of Fakhar why they choose iftikhar to face first ball of the super over. Now I don't think paksitan will qualify for next round to be honest.

Pakistan lost the match just because of these wide balls and undisciplined bowling by Amir in the Super over.

He not only bowled those 3 wides, but also he gave away 4 more extra runs in the form of byes during those deliveries. If you subtract these 7 runs, then USA scored a total of 11 runs from the super-over. And Pakistan managed a total of 13 runs, which means that they could have won the match if Amir was a bit more disciplined. But I agree that Muhammad Amir and Haris Rauf were the two best options for the super over. Shaheen was too expensive early on, and the spinners are not suited for such occasions.

[libert19]

Here my question is why Babar Azam trusted Mohammad Amir when he has experienced and best bowler like Shaheen Afridi. USA would not have scored so many runs if Shaheen Afridi bowled in Super Over.

Your statement sounds ignorant, Mohammad Amir is Pakistani bowling legend, who was retired but just recently took back his retirement back and made himself available for this world cup, he was lethal bowler back in the day.

Retirement probably got him rusted and yes you are right Babar should have went with Shaheen Afridi instead.

Poor decision-making and sloppy fielding cost Pakistan the match.

Today the captain of the Pakistan team, the one and only Babar Azam didn’t play well as he could because first of all the pitch condition wasn’t good for the batsmen and the second was that at first Muhammad Rizwan was out quickly, then the wickets were kept falling and he could not find a partner.

If he made less score than inside this period he has no mistake on it because I have been explaining it to you that when he sees wickets falling at the other end, the pressure mounts on him. When he got Shadab Khan and Iftikhar then if you see him, he was playing with more ease and comfort when from one end these two batsmen scored as well, and from one end, he was scoring too.

The hesitant batting of captain Babar Azam was a microcosm of the problems facing the team

Pakistan's self-doubt and uncertainty clear for all to see

For the Pakistan team to lose, a lot of people have faced losses in betting.  Because many thought that Pakistan is a strong team and can definitely win with the United States team.  But never imagine that Pakistan team is performing so poorly in this current season, because the player list of Pakistan team in the past is exactly the same.  But I don't understand why the performance of Pakistan team is so weak, they are not able to perform well in terms of bowling and they are also failing in terms of batting.

It is true, however, that many gamblers lost their money due to the loss of the Pakistan team and could not win. Most of the punters had bet on Pakistan to win only but it has been quite the opposite as Team USA has achieved brilliantly in the Super Over. The performance of the Pakistan team in the T20 matches of this season, they will not be able to move forward in the coming days in this disappointing performance. Moreover, Bangladesh and Pakistan are both strong teams but their current performance is very bad due to which they lost against a team like USA. However, this T20 season USA team has been performing very well in batting and bowling due to which they are losing some of the strong teams. But Pakistan team realized their weakness in this match and they must now work hard to improve their bowling performance. Because if they face this weakness in the next match with another team then they will definitely lose so they have to improve their performance in this game and win the next match.
