T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[BitcoinsGreat]

India lost wickets early today but other batsmen are performing well. The number of wickets lost by the Indian team is higher, here the bowling performance of the Australian team is much better. Rohit Sharma has performed well, if he can score 200 plus runs in today's game, he will have the best chance of winning against the Australian team. 

Talking about the early loss of wickets the first player who lost his wicket from the first innings is Virat Kohli. He was out by Hazlewood and it was caught out the catch was picked by Tim David.



Virat Kohli played 4 balls already and then on the next ball he tried to hit a boundary and he hit pull shot to hit the shot but the fielder picked it just because the ball hit on the upper part of the bat, it could also go for the boundary but the ball went up high and it was caught by Tim David and like this Virat Kohli lost his wicket. Anyways, other than him the Indian top order played very well.

The Australians are out of the competition. Yeah, i agree that they played well, but not so well and Afghanistan just ruined their dreams.

It is rare to see Australia not playing in the finals of the World Cup.

[libert19]

South Africa played good cricket and not only won the game but also an unbeatable team in this World Cup like India. Hosts are out from the World Cup now everyone is waiting and watching who is coming from another group and played a Semi-final with SA.

South Africa will play against Afghanistan in the semi-finals, but I would warn them not to take the Afghans lightly. Australia learnt it the hard way. The match will take place at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad, and we can expect the pitch to be slightly more supportive towards batting when compared to the other venues so far in this tournament. BTW, the big clash is going to be the second semi-final between India and England. India will be the overwhelming favorites, as England really struggled to qualify in group stage.

I would not say England struggled, they suffered wash-out against Scotland, but thrashed Oman and Namibia, yes they lost against Australia, but they would have qualified comfortably had wash-out did not happen (You don't expect England to lose against Scotland, do you?).

Relations are not really warm between Afghanistan Cricket Board and Cricket Australia. CA cancelled the Afghan tour of Australia, citing the Taliban takeover. And as a response, Rashid Khan and other Afghan cricketers decided to boycott BBL. And both CA and ECB has requested the ICC to suspend ACB, given the lack of a women's national team (which is a mandatory requirement even for the associate members). And now Afghanistan has knocked Australia out of this tournament.

[Compromise me]

For the first time in history, Afghanistan qualified for the semi final match in T20I World Cup, not only in T20 but also for the first time in any ICC tournament.
Just imagine if they will win this World Cup  .  From the last one year since 2023, the team peak time was started, they give loss to Pakistan, New Zealand, England, United States of America and Australia too. This time Australian team has been out from the World Cup and Afghanistan qualified for the Semi-final. What an amazing experience for them, when they came in then the celebration that they have done such a next level achievement. The Afghanistan team is on its peak.

You are right , But Afghanistan team could not win the World Cup. Both team Afghanistan and South Africa are of same level and we will see high competition in next match. Afghanistan team performance is top class especially Rashid Khan who is performing well in every match and he excellent player. Due to excellent bowlers , Afghanistan team won the match against Australia and New Zealand which are good opponent.  In the last match , Rashid Khan took 4 wickets and he continuely taking the wickets with high speed and  he will be at the top in the T20 ranking of bowlers. Afghanistan qualified to semi final for the first time but they will lose the semi final.

That is called perfect revenge , where you show your dominance by your work.
Also, we should know that Australia come under "Big 3" and they have so-called all the power and authority in cricket and you can understand what it means for them.
Despite these off-field tensions, Afghanistan's cricket team has shown remarkable resilience and performance in the field. Their recent victory over Australia resulting in knocking them out of the tournament is a reward for their hard work. Also, this win is particularly useful for them and when you know that Afghanistan is the Semi finals and Australians aren't makes a huge difference.

[Insanity]

The performance of the Bangladesh team in today's match was not at all strong but played poorly. Although it is very sad for Bangladesh that they lost against Afghanistan and their dream of semi-final was dashed. However, Afghanistan team always show their best performance and fight hard enough to win against the opposition team. I am very happy that the Afghanistan team beat Bangladesh in the semi-final with their strong performance. However, South Africa vs Afghanistan for the semi-finals and India vs England will certainly make these matches more exciting.

Yes, that's right, in this match, the dream of playing the semi-final was crushed due to the poor performance of the Bangladesh team players. However, in this match, the bowlers of Bangladesh team performed well. But unfortunately, due to the disappointing batting of the Bangladesh team batsmen, the Bangladesh team could not reach the semi-finals. In this match, all batsmen except Liton Das of Bangladesh team have done unexpected batting. If there was one more batsman to assist Liton Das in this match then Bangladesh team could easily win this match and fulfill their dream of semi-final. But as a fan of Bangladesh team I think Bangladesh team should reconsider the players.

In social media there is a lot of comparison between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The former got test status back in 1999, while the latter received the same in 2019. Despite the 20 years gap between the two, Bangladesh still underperforms when we compare them to Afghanistan. And to make things worse, Bangladeshi stars such as Mahmudullah and Shakib al Hasan are nearing retirement. On the other hand, Afghanistan has a very young squad led by the 25-year old Rashid Khan.

For the first time in history, Afghanistan qualified for the semi final match in T20I World Cup, not only in T20 but also for the first time in any ICC tournament.

Afghanistan qualified to semi final for the first time but they will lose the semi final.

Afghanistan qualified for the semi-final for the first time only because of Bangladesh's bad batting. Because if Bangladesh could have batted responsibly against Afghanistan, there would have been a chance to win the match against Afghanistan. The way the Bangladesh bowlers have performed really feels bad for them that they can't leave the field with a smile. Bangladesh lost every match due to batting disaster alone. However, if Bangladesh could have played the semi-final against Afghanistan easily, if the batsmen of Bangladesh could have batted responsibly, the batsmen of Bangladesh would have to focus on their batting. On the other hand, every player of Afghanistan is very happy to play the semi-final for the first time and they will want to play the semi-final against South Africa and try their best to reach the final match. But cricket is a game of uncertainty so it is really difficult to predict which team will play the final but Afghanistan will have a chance to play the final. They will try to play the T20 World Cup final for the first time.

[Mahdirakib]

Always loved Afghanistan winning matches, they have such passion for sport, and they going against SA in semis makes it even better as I love both of these teams, wouldn't mind whoever wins there. India better win against England though.

South Africa and India are having unbeaten journey until now (in this world cup). The match between SA and AFG will be competitive if the pitch condition remains bowling friendly. Otherwise, we might witness easy victory of one team. On the other side, I would also keep India ahead of England for the final journey.

Right performance of Bangladesh batter in this match was not displayed impressive and due to bad performance Bangladesh faced defeat in this match and after seeing the Defeating target of Afghanistan squad, I feel that now Afghanistan eliminate in this super eight round after hard working and emerged victorious in previous matches but their bowlers beated very badly the batter of Bangladesh squad. This was the dream of Afghanistan squad for qualify in semi final match after Defeating big squad like Australia and New Zealand squad. Next match for Afghanistan Squad is very difficult because South Africa squad was unbeaten in this whole competition as well in super Eight round and I feel that see see big match among them if Afghanistan sqaud need to emerge victory in semi final match their squad need to improve their batting Inning performance and their bowler always helped a lot at last of match but South Africa squad is very powerful and unbeaten squad in competition.

Australia vs India, in the 51st match India team came out to bat and lost 5 wickets in 20 overs and gave a target of 205 runs. Indian team batsman Rohit Sharma showed a great performance in today's match. Rohit Sharma got out with 92 runs in 41 balls. Australia team will not win today's match.  I am thinking because it is very difficult for Australia team batsmen to win beyond this run.

India is a very good team and always surprised their fans with their performance. They have won all the matches by scoring a lot of runs and this team undefeat in this tournament with South Africa team . The Indian team is also very strong and they play matches with heart. They work very hard to win matches and they have won.Rohit Sharma one and only my favorite team member. Rohit Sharma gave a lot of support to his team to win the match and he scored a lot of runs. I also don't said that Australia also not a weak team. India team won this game by 24 runs and Gave very big runs record. Australia team only chased down 181 runs and lost the match. The 51st match between India and Australia was played at deran Sammy national cricket stadium. Deran Sammy is a very famous place. Australia won the toss and Australia elected to batting first. The best batting performance in the India man team was by Rohit Sharma scored 92  runs and 41 balls hitting 7 fours and 8 sixsh. Congratulations to India for semi final match.

[JahriMeayer]

Afghanistan won by 8 runs Against Bangladesh. And thus Afghanistan Make themselves Selected from Super 8 to semifinal and Bangladesh lost the opportunity To play next Match in semifinal along with Australia. Today afghanistan started batting first and scored 115-5 runs which was very low archivement. Rahmanullah Gurbaz(43) did decent runs. Rest of players did lower scores including Rashid Khan(19). Rishad Hossain got 3 wickets and i must say, Bangladesh bowling line was excellent but sad! Their batting line was worst from beginning. After a long time Litton Das(54) make his half century. Rest of players failed to do any contribution of collecting runs. Sakib, Mahmudullah all of them out with lower runs. Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq got 4 wickets each. Bangladesh had opportunity to win as 1 over was remain but no player was available for batting cause they all out eailer. Well congrats Afghanistan for this archivement

Always loved Afghanistan winning matches, they have such passion for sport, and they going against SA in semis makes it even better as I love both of these teams, wouldn't mind whoever wins there. India better win against England though.

South Africa and India are having unbeaten journey until now (in this world cup). The match between SA and AFG will be competitive if the pitch condition remains bowling friendly. Otherwise, we might witness easy victory of one team. On the other side, I would also keep India ahead of England for the final journey.

After Afghanistan reached the semi-finals, India's chances of winning the final increased significantly. In the semi-final between India and England, the chances of India winning are high. Between South Africa and Afghanistan, South Africa is definitely more likely to win. From this point of view, South Africa and India are more likely to face each other in the final and if this happens then India will definitely take the final trophy this year.

Afghanistan vs South Africa First Semifinal

So tomorrow will be the first semifinal of T20I World Cup. Many teams tried to qualify for the semifinals but best four are now in. Like many of us expecting that Australia will be in the semis but we saw that they are now out of the tournament. On the other hand I appreciate the performance of Afghanistan and they are now in semifinals and I hope they will play the final match too. They have ability to face best teams and they showed that in the past some Matches. I am looking for this exciting match and my best wishes are with Afghanistan because they played very well in this season.

[Rustam Meraj]

After Afghanistan reached the semi-finals, India's chances of winning the final increased significantly. In the semi-final between India and England, the chances of India winning are high. Between South Africa and Afghanistan, South Africa is definitely more likely to win. From this point of view, South Africa and India are more likely to face each other in the final and if this happens then India will definitely take the final trophy this year.

After reaching of Afghanistan in semifinals increases the chances of India but one thing is that also Afghanistan has also increases their chances of winning World Cup. If Afghanistan can beat Australia so they have ability to beat India too. Still India has tough competition with England if they win than they can face Afghanistan in final. Still I am looking that Afghanistan has ability to win this World Cup if they will continue this performance and will not make a single mistake. Afghanistan has many good bowlers who can change the situation of a match so let's hope they will qualify for the Final too.

West Indies Women  vs  Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women now face West Indies Women in the second T20 match of the series. The Sri Lanka Women's team failed to win the first T20 match. The Sri Lankan women's team set a small target of 135 runs. And the West Indies team won the match quite easily.

Sri Lanka's two openers are batting very cautiously in today's match. Sri Lanka have not lost a single wicket in 5 overs and have managed to collect 27 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen will have to try to stay at the crease. Sri Lanka Women's team has a chance to win the match if they score more than 150. However, if Sri Lanka set a target of less than 150, it will be very difficult for West Indies women to beat them. The West Indies women's team is quite strong in the T20 format.

[3kpk3]

We are in the endgame now people. Afghanistan vs South Africa will most likely end in South Africa's favor while India vs England will most likely end in India's favor though we never know since this is the T20 format after all.

Hoping for India and South Africa to reach the final because I was supporting both of them since the beginning of this tournament. Let's see what happens.

[libert19]

Afghanistan qualified to semi final for the first time but they will lose the semi final.

That's quite bold statement, although SA does get a slight upper hand but largely both of these two teams are of same caliber, so I wouldn't discount Afghans.

Yes, that's right, in this match, the dream of playing the semi-final was crushed due to the poor performance of the Bangladesh team players.

The way Bangladesh played, didn't look like they had dream to reach semis.

We just witness one of the unbelieve match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The loss of Bangladesh was also a loss for Australia as with this result the Australia were out of the competition, something which many wouldn’t expected when the World Cup was started.

Afghanistan team did not make a big score, only 115 runs, and they needed excellent bowling performance to restrict Bangladesh and how well they managed it.  Naveen-ul-Haq, who was the player of the match also, took 4 wickets for 26 runs. He was the inspiration for other bowlers. Rashid Khan also took 4 wickets and he was the captain too. I wonder why he was not selected as the man of the match.

Nevertheless, Afghanistan are in the Semi finals now and now they have an opportunity to move into the finals. They should not miss this chance and make the best out of it.
