T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Bangladesh Vs Nepal

After winning the toss, Nepal decided to bowl. In this case, Bangladesh must always remember to keep the run score above 150 runs. Liton Das and Nazmul Hasan Shanto must bat with responsibility as these two players have been performing badly in every match so far.  So these two have to play well for today's match otherwise it will be very challenging to get victory in Bangladesh today with Nepal. Nepal's bowling attack is not bad at all especially Sandeep Lamichhan is a very good spinner besides they have some other good bowlers in their team so Bangladesh will have to keep the score above 130 runs for now otherwise the chances of Bangladesh winning will be very low.

In a match where the wicket fell on the first ball of the innings, you can also guess how much chances Bangladesh have. The batsman of Bangladesh is batting without knowing the full responsibility of the batsmen because of which he lost his wicket in the first ball and now Bangladesh is under pressure. The failure of Bangladesh's top order batsmen forced Bangladesh to face batting disaster in every match. The day Bangladesh can overcome this failure in the top order, the day Bangladesh cricket will come back to life with new enthusiasm.

Today is our Eid day and on this Eid day I enjoyed the game of Bangladesh happily and this bitter experience is that Bangladesh will perform so badly in today's match that I could not imagine. Only Shakib Al Hasan is the top scorer in today's match with 17 runs. It was so difficult to bat in Bangladesh's innings that they were all out for 106 runs. Bangladesh will most likely lose in today's match if the opponent can build an important partnership then definitely Bangladesh will lose. Zakir Ali of Bangladesh scored only 12 runs in 26 balls after batting in Test style, so why did he need to bat in Test style like this? Today's match looks like Bangladesh is giving Nepal a batting practice which is a village cricket. Never expected to see such a match on our happy day.

I think the Netherlands team can still qualify and the Bangladesh team will step down because today is the match of Sri Lanka vs the Netherlands which must win by the Netherlands then they can qualify for the Super 8s, but for this they have to give loss to Sri Lankan team with a good run rate.
I think the Sri Lankan team have to loss it purposely because their enemy is Bangladesh from the start and if they lose this match purposely then the Netherlands come in and Bangladesh will go out. This time all of Bangladesh is going to support their enemy Sri Lanka.

Coming to the match between Bangladesh and Nepal, Bangladesh have to bowl well if they want to come back in the match. Bangladesh only made 106 runs which are not enough in most of the circumstances but we have seen some low scoring wins, so we never know if Bangladesh can do a miracle in bowling today.

England managed to qualify for the Super 8 after Scotland missed a chance against Australia today. Although the performance was good enough in today's match and they collected runs well, but unfortunately they did not qualify. Although the Scotland team had a good start and put a lot of pressure on Australia at first, but later on the lead in the last period, the Australian team was much more excited. Australia batted brilliantly to meet the target of 180 runs and won by 5 wickets with 186 runs. Scotland team lost in this match and couldn't go to Super 8, they had to leave and the dream was broken.
However the qualifying teams in Super8 Group 2 are Australia, England, USA, West Indies, they qualified due to their great performances.

Nice, after doing bad performances in this World Cup, by chance England stepped up instead of stepping down and made their place into the top 2 teams in their group and now they will qualify into the Super 8s with Australia.

From B group, we have two super 8s teams and those are England and Australia. I think there was no chance for them to qualify and Scotland deserves to come in because as they have done too much effort in this World Cup but at the end, they would not qualify then it seems like a disappointment for them. Scotland and England both teams points were same but it was not in luck for Scotland.

This time I think at the start of this World Cup, we underestimated the small teams and this time many teams were out of the tournament those must have to come in as there is the biggest example of Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

Also, there was England too near the verge of elimination but by chance, they still managed to qualify for the Super 8s as we have seen. Don’t know what type of problem with teams that came here, they cannot play well and lose the matches very close, and they must have to win this but sadly this World Cup is very unique. I think giving a chance to play with 20 teams in this World Cup format became tough for them.

Going to the Super 8s and without New Zealand and Pakistan, it will feel like a vacuum but anyways that is how it is.

So far this T20 world cup is nothing like T20, barring couple matches all scores have been below par, before someone argues about American pitches, matches are being played in West Indies as well.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh has given target of 107 to Nepal, and Nepal as been slogging so far as they lose 3 wickets for 20 runs at 5 overs, wonder how hard is it to take singles and hit a boundary on good ball?

Srilanka vs Netherlands

Unfortunately SriLankan team is now out from the World Cup and not qualifying for the Super 8 round but today they performed well and they made I think ATH of this World Cup they gave a target of 202 runs to Netherlands. They lost only 6 wickets. Charith Asalanka and Kusal Mendis was good in batting they both made 46,46 runs. Overall we can see they showed a great team work.
And now the Netherlands is playing their turn. And they already played three overs and they made only 35 runs. And they didn't lose any wicket yet. The target is quite high so I don't think so Netherlands will chase the target. They need 167 runs on 101 balls. Which is looking much difficult. So let's see what the Netherlands will do.?

[libert19]

Things were going well with Nepal with Airee and Mala on crease despite early fall of wickets, thought they would easily win the game at one point but once Mala fell and then Mustafizur with his 19th over (maiden + Airee' wicket) destroyed all hopes for Nepal fans.

Nepal could have easily won the game had they stayed with singles and doubles but they made things complicated for themselves and eventually lost.

Yes you are right Srilanka will not qualify for the next round super 8. The teams which are going in super 8 rounds are India and USA from Group A. Australia and England from Group B. Afghanistan and West Indies from Group C and South Africa and Bangladesh from Group D.
Well the match of Srilanka and Netherlands was very exciting. Srilanka made a high score and they gave and excellent target. They are just near to win. Because Netherlands needs 84 runs on 21 balls. And they already lost 9 wickets. I think they will not play the all overs and get out earlier. By the way Srilanka played well today.

[3kpk3]

By the way Srilanka played well today.

They played really well against the Dutch who I thought would win, but ended up failing miserably. Both Netherlands and Ireland had terrible campaigns in this particular T20 World Cup tournament.

Teams like Scotland, USA etc fared way, way better in comparison though USA turned out to be the only small team to qualify for the super 8.

Finally the Bangladesh team got a chance to play in the Super Eight and they put in enough effort due to which they succeeded. I saw the performance of Bangladesh at the beginning of today's match, I thought they might lose today's match to Nepal. But the Nepal team failed to fulfill this target of 106 runs due to which the Bangladesh team easily won the match and got the opportunity to play in the Super Eight. Although there was a chance of Nepal winning this match today, Bangladesh had a good bowling performance due to which they were able to put pressure on Nepal in the match and Bangladesh team won. However, the Bangladesh team may not have a chance to win against the teams they will play in the next round. Although Super 8 Group-1 is strong in each team, it is doubtful whether Bangladesh will be able to cope with these teams. And in today's match Bangladesh team has qualified for the next round so it is very happy, and today on this Eid day it is very happy for us.

Ireland team collected 106 runs, gave a target of 107 runs to Pakistan team, Pakistan team will win this match very easily. Moreover, today's match is not so important for both teams, as they will be eliminated from ICC World Cup by playing this match today. We have already seen two teams qualify for the Super Eight in the group stage, India and USA from Group A. Although many of us expected Pakistan to have a chance, but unfortunately the Pakistan team failed to qualify which is their failure. Pakistan team will leave with a win in today's match against Ireland, already we have seen that the teams who have qualified for the Super Eight have qualified. However, today's match Pakistan team will not give so much importance and Ireland will not give importance but still Pakistan team will easily win against Ireland.

Ireland is a weak team that faced Pakistan team.  Ireland's batsmen did not give good performance and effort in the match due to which the target was only 107.  If their batsmen worked hard and struggled and kept up their pace from the start, the target would have been 140 runs.  Yes, because Pakistan's batsmen put in a bit of effort and struggle and the target of 106 was not that difficult.  It will be most unfortunate for Pakistan as they had 1 chance and they missed it and will be out of the ICC World Cup.  They should have worked hard and struggled against India but they could not.  Pakistan could have qualified but due to their bad luck and lack of hard work and struggle they will be out of the match and they had 1 more chance to beat USA but India was playing against USA so USA  It was impossible to win, so Pakistan's chances of winning would have ended.

Right I feel sad for these sqauds Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka who are not reach on next Round Super Eight and their performance this time was really so bad and did not play with their actual performance. Congratulations to other sqaud India, England, Australia, Afghanistan, West indies, USA, South Africa and Bangladesh. In recent match of ICC men World Cup competition Sri Lanka against Netherlands squad, Sri Lanka sqaud performance in today match was really superb and this performance was needed in previous matches but now this was not useful because two squad of this group already qualified and this was just a formality match and almost just few more matches behind for play of ICC Men T20 World cup and before playing Super Eight Round. Sri Lanka squad has posted total 206 scores after playing 20 overs with lost of 6 batter wickets. Both each batter Charith Asalanka  and Kusal Mendis collected equal number of scores 46 and both playing very significant game today but Charith Asalanka also displayed amazing fielding performance with two catches. Netherlands lost this match just achieved 118 scores and lost match with massive difference of scores.

Yes, its an unbeatable performance was displayed by Sri Lanka squad in against match to Netherlands sqaud. According to my knowledge it was the first victory of Sri linka squad in world cup after lossing all games but its was a great comeback and courageful victory with good 83 Runs and Sri linka squad increases ranking to number 3 number and but their possibility to reach on Super Eight was 0%. I agreed Sri Linka is out of World cup race by doing bad performances in initial matches of the tournament but they have top spin bowling attach in the world. Charith Asalanka displayed power hitting inning and my favourite player in this squad and his playing cricket is admirable for any team.

Shakib Al Hasan and Mostafizur Rahman are the most important behind Bangladesh team's victory today. As both of them put in the best bowling performance, Nepal team was completely disappointed as Mostafizur Rahman took the middle in the 19th over. Immediately in the 20th over, Shakib Al Hasan took two wickets to defeat the Nepal team, so the Bangladesh team won this match and participated in the qualifiers due to their good run rate. 
The Nepal team performed well in the beginning but later on became very weak due to the fall of wickets, but the tiger players of the Bangladesh team gained more confidence as they picked up wickets.

[Glen Hoddle]

Although Sri Lanka won this match, they could not participate in the qualifiers, as their number of wins and run rate was much lower than that of Bangladesh. Although this message Pakistan team won by a wide margin, but if they had performed well in the previous matches, there was definitely a chance to participate in the qualifiers. However, the Netherlands team performed relatively poorly in terms of bowling and batting.

Pakistan vs Ireland


Pressure!! Pressure!! Pressure!!


The current score of Pakistan is 51/2 from 8 overs. I see the Pakistani team also a lot of pressure. Although Pakistan have 8 wickets in their hand Ireland's bowler is also strong. They already beat another Pakistani wicket. Now Pakistani score is 56/6 from 8,5. I think Pakistan can't reach the target. Feel too much laughing to see the recent performance of Pakistani players, Beat another 2 wickets within a few times.

As usual the Pakistan bowling attack was superb but this time too the Pakistan team had to face difficulties in batting but in this match, the Pakistan team had no problem but in real it is the problem of the pitch and ground.

However, now the entire journey of Pakistan in this World Cup has been finished and today they would return to their country along with other teams who fail to qualify. Now, we have matches of the Super 8s teams and from group A we have the United States of America and India too. Now, let’s see what will they do in the Super 8s. I think they will do something good here too and I wish the United States of America would give tough time to the teams in the Super 8s too.

Although this message Pakistan team won by a wide margin, but if they had performed well in the previous matches, there was definitely a chance to participate in the qualifiers. However, the Netherlands team performed relatively poorly in terms of bowling and batting.

I think they are going to drop out here entirely due to Sri Lanka's bad luck.  Because if we see the match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, they fought very hard but Bangladesh won by a very small margin in the last stage.  On the other hand, the match in which the win was expected was not played due to bad weather.  So I think the Sri Lankan team's bad luck is one of the reasons for their elimination from the first round of the World Cup this year.

Damn! What the heck is wrong with Pakistan? They are stumbling for the umpteenth time in this tournament. They have consistently been collapsing throughout this tournament.

It's hilarious that a dead rubber match is actually this entertaining which was really unexpected after watching Pakistan demolish the Irish batsmen initially.

As we all know, the Pakistan team Chairman said that after this World Cup, he will change to the Pakistan team and here are 5 or 6 players that we have and they are in danger because now he has taken a decision to give chance to new personalities in the team.

The players including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Muhammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim and Muhammad Amir too are in danger of losing thier place in the team. These are the key players, but yes, he took the decision to do this, so let’s see what he will do. I think it will be the most worst decision of Moshin Naqvi (The Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board) to change this Pakistan team altogether.

Pakistan team needs change. Pakistan could have done better if this change had been made earlier. But the policy needs some time to be implemented. I support changes in the Pakistan team but if everyone is changed there it will lose the balance that is needed in the team. I think Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Muhammad Rizwan should be given more opportunities in the team. If they are also changed then there will be no experienced players in the team. In that case, Pakistan team may lose rhythm. I think the selection committee must look into these aspects. I appreciate that the board chairman took the initiative to make this change otherwise the team would not have changed.

IMO, Pakistan team is good. All they need is to do is two things: 1) They need a proper leader who can guide them, I don't find Babar a worthy captain and neither Shahin, now don't get me wrong, it's just what I feel. 2) Fielding: it's obvious Pakistan team needs to improve their fielding yet there has been no improvements.

The day they improve on these two things then Pakistan will be top of league team, and then may be then their encounters against India will be interesting to watch.
