T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[vs2014]

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.

If Ireland could have scored a few more runs, they could have easily defeated the Pakistan team. Battling 106 runs in t20 is ridiculous but any situation can happen inside the game. As Pakistan lost 7 wickets in the gap of 95 runs. This stumble will be painful for them as Ireland was not a strong team. Anyway, good luck for Pakistan and the team will have to show their best in future.

In today's match of Pakistan vs Ireland team, Ireland team came to the field to bat and lost 9 wickets in 20 overs and gave a target of 106 runs. The run target that Ireland team had given was not the right run to win this run. Pakistan team now came to the field to bat. 7 in 18 overs.  95 runs by losing wicket. Pakistan team need 11 runs from 11 balls to win this match. Pakistan team batsman performance was very good for which Pakistan team will win this match very easily.

Namibian opener Michael van Linkage was largely responsible for their defeat. England team played relatively well against Namibia. England was relatively better than Namibia. Namibia's run was only 84. After that, everyone's eyes were on the match between Australia and Scotland. Australia played better than Scotland and this match was won by Australia.

Thus was great match of this icc men world cup competition and also was so simple for England to get victory in that match this victory for England squad for so so important and their squad got a victory and successfully to qualify in next round Super Eight and Scotland sqaud also made very hard word in their matches and they got victories in two match but they lost other two fights due to low runs rate then England sqaud, their sqaud was eliminated after this match finish anf Namibia did not face England great performance and did to Dla Method Namibia squad lost this match with 41 scores. Unbelievable and unbreakable strength was shown by Harry brook on both innings fielding and batting. Harry brook first managed to collect 47 scores off 20 deliveries with great power and powerful shots and in fielding inning, Harry brook also picked two catches of two different batter od Namibia sqaud. Best of luck for next round England Squad

In the end Pakistan won this match. But their batting was very bad. If Babar Azam had not batted responsibly and Shaheen Shah Afridi had not been able to play the innings of 13 runs off 5 balls, Pakistan team might have been defeated even in such a small target.

Pakistan's batting is very bad now. There is no player in the squad who is capable of consistently batting well. Pakistan lost against India and USA only because of their poor batting. And even against a weak team like Ireland, Pakistan's batsmen cannot bat well. Pakistan reached the target in 18.5 overs. And Pakistan lost 7 wickets. We don't know when this plight of Pakistan will end.

The run target that Ireland team had given was not the right run to win this run. Pakistan team now came to the field to bat. 7 in 18 overs.  95 runs by losing wicket. Pakistan team need 11 runs from 11 balls to win this match. Pakistan team batsman performance was very good for which Pakistan team will win this match very easily.

Finally, Pakistan won their last match of the World Cup by 3 wickets against Ireland. Pakistan chased down the target of 111 runs in a loss of 7 wickets in the second last over of the match. Ireland's bowling well picked we early wickets and put pressure on all the other batsmen but he didn't picked wicket captain of the Pakistan team. The man of the Match is Shaheen Afridi for his all-round batting and bowling performance in this match picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 22 runs in his blowing spell and batting scored 13 crucial runs from just 5 balls remained unbeaten and helped Pakistan to win this match. Pakistan finished his World Cup journey in 3rd position on the point table by winning back to back matches in this World Cup.

Pakistan snatched a breathtaking three-wicket victory over Ireland in the 36th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Pakistan's 3-wicket win against Ireland in today's match was not an easy task. Although in this match Ireland team batted first and set a very small target of 107 runs for Pakistan team. The batsmen of the Pakistan team struggled to meet the target of 107 runs. In today's match, no batsman other than Pakistan team batsman Babar Azam could score 32+. Big disappointment for Pakistan team. But in this match both teams fought hard to win. This match was a tough match to enjoy. I am very happy to enjoy Pakistan and Ireland's bone-to-neck fight.

Snatched?  Guess we were watching 2 different matches.

It was their game to win from the start but Pakistan did their usual vintage Pakistani thing and for the most part, they were in control but due to their old habits they had to turn dead rubber into a thriller.

I don't disagree with your opinion because as I thought that Pakistan would easily win against Ireland it didn't happen. However, Pakistan managed to restrict the Ireland team to nine wickets for just 106 runs through their good bowling performance. However, Pakistan's batting performance was not as good as their bowling performance although in the end Babar Azam once again served as Pakistan's keeper. And other batsmen could not do such a good thing. I think Pakistan should now focus on their batting lineup.

Whatever you say, USA's pitches are designed in such a way that it becomes quite challenging to score over 110 runs.
Whereas in South Africa, teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are managing to keep good teams within 110 runs.  Every pitch USA bowls is designed to help the bowlers bowl well and be able to put any team in batting trouble.
Most of the matches are being abandoned, and most of the matches are scoring runs so low that it doesn't feel like a T20 World Cup. So I would mainly blame the bowling pitches of the USA venues for the low scoring matches in this World Cup.

I am happy Pakistani team is out of the tournament because Pakistani team is not that kind of team that will win against big teams like Australia, India and England. Pakistani team can beat only Canada , Namibia, Ireland and Uganda and that is level of Pakistani team and I am also disappointed about Pakistani team because it broke the hearts cricket fans , many bought tickets to see the match against USA and India but Pakistani team lose the match due to lack of batting combination. No batter could perform well and nobody made half century for the team and  Indian team won due to best mindset and combination and Now India is favorite but anything can happen and we can change the side and may be England will be champion.

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. 

[libert19]

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.
