T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Pakistan team did not perform well in today's match, their game was very bad and disappointing. In today's match, New Zealand team players performed brilliantly and they won by 9 wickets. New Zealand team players bowled exceptionally well in today's match, especially Jamieson and Jacob Duffy both bowled exceptionally well, due to their bowling, Pakistan team scored only 91 runs today. New Zealand team batsmen succeeded in achieving this target of 91 runs very easily, they won easily in 10 overs and won and advanced in the series.

Sometimes subcontinent teams take their sweet time to adjust in seaming conditions.

This new T-20 squad looked bad today but fans and management must give them a long rope. From Players' POV, they need to respect the conditions and absorb the pressure when the pitch is tricky. You can't swing your bat without using your brain.

Today was the first match between Pakistan and New Zealand, it was hosted by New Zealand. As the Pakistan team played today for sure they are likely to lose this series as well. If we look at the current situation of the Pakistan team they are doing very bad and even before the CT and during the CT, both times New Zealand dominated Pakistan.

But that all was in ODI games and also this time Pakistan made many changes in the squad, new talents are coming up but nothing changed in terms of performance. Pakistan were all out at 91 runs and they were playing like a club team.  

In Champions trophy and tri-nation series full strength New Zealand team was playing but today New Zealand team is without it's key players and still Pakistan lost the game quite easily. Khushdil Shah is the top scorer from Pakistan side who scored 30 runs with three sixes, no other noticeable batting performance from any Pakistani batsmen. This new Pakistan team need to show some spark, so that they will be given more chances by the selectors. Pakistan team is passing through it's worst era, they can't beat even second tier team of New Zealand.  

New Zealand is always having reputation as one of the best team in cricket world while Pakistani team is badly down and out even now many former Pakistani players criticizing current system and selection system which bring them in ICU from here now they have just two choices graveyards or back to normal this one is not easy because this needed overhaul which need good professional approach.

Things has never been on merit for Pakistani team, but now they are collapsing and have no choice to stay at bottom with this level of game today New Zealand done good job and give good punishment. Pakistani team is playing without any strategy and motivation which is surely giving them results like these now with this result all is clear how things will be gone in remaining series for them.

Surprised to see not a single IPL 2025 pool so far in this forum. This is really weird to me considering how insanely popular this league is globally and is as popular as international ICC tournaments like the World Cup.

Personally, I am looking forward to the league and I am curious to see if there is a single prediction pool or not this time around.

ICC Champions Trophy2025 was not ended as expecting just because of this now its taking time but in next 48 hours something going to happen.
Soccer is still the most popular sport on this forum so many pools are going on, but sadly cricket is having no response like its needed.
Most chances this time not free pool because sponsorship is issue, but something positive will be happened behind the scene few things going on all will be ok.

Disappointing start of the T20 series by Pakistani team. They were not even able to play there 20 overs and all team got out in just 18.4 overs. It's a new team and PCB must give that team chances like the one given to team which has experienced players. PCB has no option left but to try new talent, in start we will see such result but we need to bear that. In upcoming matches, Pakistan team (if batting first) should try to play there full 20 overs and try to give  target of 140 above. This is a new team with inexperienced players, we have seen similar results with experienced players. Let's give this team a chance to prove themselves.

I have no complaints about the loss against New Zealand. Since they have a new team, they should definitely be given more chances. But I don't think the team will be able to send a good message in this series. But I still support them. If Pakistan cricket is to improve, then the new and experienced players should be given chances. If they get a chance, it would not be unreasonable to expect something good from them.

Jacob Duffy and Jamieson bowled very well for New Zealand in the match. Both of them took 7 wickets and the team ended their innings quickly. I believe they could not get set in the first match but in the next matches we can see a good innings from them.

It is difficult to accept such a decline in a renowned team like Pakistan. We have been seeing such poor and erratic performances of Pakistani players for a long time. There are many talented players in the squad. Yet their performance is very poor. The Pakistan Cricket Board has completely failed to solve their problems. We have been seeing such misery of Pakistan for the last 3/4 years.

I knew that Pakistan would not do well in the New Zealand home series. But it was expected that Pakistan would play so badly. Pakistan gave a target of only 92 runs. The pitch was not bowling friendly. Even then Pakistan failed to play well. Batting on the same pitch, New Zealand reached the target of victory in 10.1 overs.

Pakistan all out at 91 runs and it is the beginning of a new era after Babar and Muhammad Rizwan in T20. Since many years Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam era was going on in T20 and they both created many histories of course. But now according to some Pakistan journalists it has been finished since 2024 and here is the new era but the start of this era is so disappointing.

Every single player from Pakistan is experiencing his worst time, and selectors cannot directly drop them because, as we have seen with the new talent, Pakistan cricket is in danger.

We could not have imagined that Pakistan would perform so poorly in today's T20. Two players were out for golden ducks early on, meaning they were in a bad position from the start. Even though a few changes were made in Pakistan, their performance has not changed, but has gotten worse. It is 100% certain that Pakistan will lose today's match. Because the target of 91 runs for New Zealand in T20 is a very easy The previous squad was much better than Pakistan's current squad.target.

Pakistan performance has been really bad because of their batsmen putting pressure on themselves due to which Pakistan will lose the match.  Pakistan batsmen scored very few runs in the first 10 overs and lost too many wickets due to which Pakistan could not achieve their success.  New Zealand's performance is very strong due to which they managed to win the match.  The New Zealand bowler put a lot of pressure due to which Pakistan could not play well in the match and it is difficult for Pakistan to have a win list in this series because New Zealand performance is strong and Pakistan is not playing as well as expected from them.  Pakistan will have to work hard and play well to win the match.

A few years ago, we saw that Pakistan's main weakness was their batting order. The bowlers were performing well but the batsmen were underperforming. Even then, batsmen like Rizwan and Babar were added to the squad. We thought Pakistan's batting order would be strong. We have seen good performances from Pakistan's batsmen for a while. But in the last few years, we have seen inconsistent performances from every batsman in Pakistan. And at the same time, the performance of Pakistan's bowlers is not as good as expected.

I don't know how Pakistan will solve these problems. I would say that Pakistan's players need to work harder. Every player in the squad is talented. But even then, their performance is very inconsistent.

Pakistan's newly selected T20 cricket team was very disappointing in the first match. The first three batsmen of the Pakistan team got out after scoring only one run, it looked like a football match was going on. Pakistan's batting collapse gives an idea of how much the team needs senior players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. But it is very difficult to beat New Zealand at their home ground. The pitches support fast bowlers, and Pakistan's newly selected batsman is not ready to play. They need to improve his skills. The second match of the series will be played on 18 March. I hope Pakistan will put up a good performance and try to win this match to level the series.

Honestly expections were high from them because most of them got thier spot due to domestic performance but i think lack of experience and unfamiliar bouncy condition get the game away from them. No doubt they should take risk and played aggressive innings at power play but first they has to take time to acknowledge the pitch response and then set thier plan to play. But as explained lack of experience cost them that defeat.
Now I believe fan should back them throughout the series for positive results. Anyway I taught shadab will deliver some ordinary performance on his comeback but unfortunately things delivered beyond our expectations hope results will be better in next matches.

In this case I will agree with your opinion. And also I want to say that I am seeing some new faces in the Pakistan T20 squad. Like the Babar Azam, Rizwan and some others are missing in the  squad I don't know if there were still in that T20 squad or get retirement.

But whether they retire or not, here we get a glimpse of one thing that Pakistan's forward team squad needs to be reformed again. Because they have played badly in the batting lineup as well as the bowling lineup. But we have only seen that they have scored low but if we look at it from another angle, they have allowed New Zealand to touch the target easily by losing only 1 wicket in just 10.1 overs run rate was more than 9.

Newly strated competition Pakistan tour to New Zealand and both squad will playing total 5 matches and one was finished today among Them. Pakistan squad performance was quite bad and they begun match first with batting inning and managed to collect 91 scores in 20 overs by losing all wickets. Khushdil Shah just supported their squad and he collected 32 runs off 30 deliveries. Jacob Duffy and Kyle Jamieson bowlers picked up 4 and 3 respectively. Finn Allen and Tim Seifert  both also build strong batting partnership and collected 44 scores and 29 scores respectively with the support of Tim Robinson after losing the wicket of Tim Seifert batter. New Zealand squad simply achieved the victory after playing 10 overs with lost 1 wicket.

Most of the players who were given a chance in Pakistan's new squad were dismissed today in single digits or for zero runs. Then there was a need for senior players because Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman were the ones who performed well. Most of the changes were made to the squad to balance the team, but in terms of performance, good performance could not be expected, in which case the team did not benefit from changing the squad. In fact, the Pakistan team lacks balance, but if we can't see the same kind of performance from Pakistani players as New Zealand did on the same wicket, then it means that Pakistan has become a third-rate team.

I feel same way as you about Pakistan new team. It is very disappointing to see most of new players not doing well getting out for very low scores or zero. This shows how important it is to have experienced players like Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman who were the only ones who played well. Team made some changes to try to get better but sadly it did not work. It is very worrying to see Pakistan struggling to play as well as other teams like New Zealand on same field. This makes us wonder if Pakistan team is still good enough to compete and it is hard to disagree with you that Pakistan has become weaker team.

Personally, I am looking forward to the league and I am curious to see if there is a single prediction pool or not this time around.

IPL starts from 22 March so there are still some days and hopefully there will be some pool started by someone.  

Otherwise, I may contact Royse and ask him if he can sponsor this event once again. In that case, I would setup a superbru pool. To be honest, It won't be much fun watching the IPL without having a competition here.

Bahrain vs Hong Kong Final

The final match of the Malaysia Tri-Nation T20I Series has started. Among the three teams, Malaysia has been eliminated from the series. Today this final match has started between Bahrain vs Hong Kong. Hong Kong won the toss and elected to bat. So far Hong Kong have collected 65 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 11 overs. Hong Kong's opening batsman Zeeshan Ali did not perform well, he was dismissed for 4 runs off 8 balls. Hong Kong's run rate is less than 6, they need to do better. Looking at the performance of the Hong Kong batsmen, it seems that they will not be able to score 130+. Let's see how many runs Hong Kong manage to give the target.

Not many posters will join from here if there is a paid pool, it's unfortunate but it's true.

Despite offering free pool, many active posters from here didn't even join the last Champions Trophy pool, so not many takers or most of em are Alt accounts.

These players of the Pakistan team performed very badly in the first match, but I saw that the Pakistan team did not have a full squad. Because Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were not in this squad, I think this match performed very badly. Because wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan performed according to the role he plays and gave the right advice to each player, the Pakistan team could have definitely performed well in batting.
However, this squad is also in the second match, but it remains to be seen whether the Pakistan team can finally calm its fans with the result. The New Zealand team is very strong at home and they have a full squad, but the second match must be taken as a challenge for the Pakistan team.

The points of my mentioned comment were the same that Pakistan team may not have released their T20 squad against New Zealand with a balanced team, If they had a balanced team, maybe their style of play would have been more organized. But an attempt is being made to clearly highlight Pakistan's weaknesses this season. Because the Pakistan team being all out for such a low score might not decorated them.

Most of the few players we see in the Pakistan squad are the new faces, that is the PCB may be obsessed with finding something good. No matter how much Pakistan plays with this same squad, it will not be an easy process to please its fans because they will not get a complete result from this match.
