T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Srilanka just dodged a bullet and terrific fight from hongkong, in the end, lack of experience did the damage but they could be proud of this effort and should give them much needed confidence.

Hong Kong doesn't have any well experienced and good bowlers for the death overs. The result of the match could have been different if they had any. Sri Lanka has struggled a lot to win the match against them. This is really a great achievement for Hong Kong. They had lost the first match very badly against Afghanistan. Then they did a little better against Bangladesh, and finally it was a competitive match against Sri Lanka. I thought that every match against Hong Kong would be one-sided, but they have proven me wrong.

Sri Lanka has to play 19 overs to win the game and that shows the strength of Hong Kong team. The gradual improvement in game of Hong Kong is because they are playing against top sides of Asia and if they keep getting such opportunities in future then they will become good side like Afghanistan. Batting first Hong Kong scored 149 runs and then their bowlers picked 6 wickets. Wanindu Hasaranga hitting at the end overs  helped Sri Lanka in winning the game otherwise the game would have gone in favour of Hong Kong.

Zimbabwe cricket is slowly improving. I can see the improvement in the batting order of the team especially. The team performed quite well in the last series against Sri Lanka. The players were confident. Zimbabwe is also able to play well in the 3-match T20 series against Namibia.
Zimbabwe scored a huge 211 runs today for the loss of just 3 wickets. The pitch is batting friendly though. Even then I have seen 200+ scores from Zimbabwe in very few matches. Opener Brian Bennett played a wonderful innings of 94 runs off 51 balls. Although Namibia was able to score 178 runs. Still it was an easy win for Zimbabwe

Yeh Zimbabwen dosmetic cricketing structure has been approved alot over a time which results in got some talented player which lead them to a handsome victories, sikhander were the only consistent performer for his team, but now some new faces were really doing fine, no doubt they were playing at thier  own backyard against associate nation, but still 200 is a lot to have on board against any. Anyway I taught the talented Brian Bennett will register his very first century of his first class carrier, but unfortunately got shorten by few runs and got depart. While chase as expected Raza showed his magic along side with muzarabani and won. Now let's see will they repeat things like previous in order to get dominance over series.

Hong Kong played fairly well against Bangladesh and also played well against Sri Lanka. However, their match against Afghanistan was completely one-sided, especially the big 94-run defeat that proved the one-sidedness of the match. If Hong Kong could have dismissed Nissanka very early, then Sri Lanka would not have been able to do what his innings of 68 runs played for Sri Lanka's victory. Therefore, if Hong Kong could have maintained the pressure from the beginning that Sri Lanka was under towards the end, then perhaps the result of the match could have changed.

Zimbabwe played well against Namibia. It was an impressive match as Zimbabwe performance is somewhat weak against other strong teams. But they showed aggressive batting against Namibia, a weaker team compared to them. It was a tough match for Namibia but the best thing is that they are improving their game and scored 178 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs.

Zimbabwe is improving in batting gradually but they need to focus more on bowling. I think the Bulawayo pitch may be helpful for the batsmen as the bowlers did not get much help from the pitch in the match. I commend the Namibian players because even though they are a weak team in international cricket, they had a fighting spirit and tried their best to win.

Zimbabwe is playing very well in this series and they have victory the first match of this series and now they are playing the second match. Namibian batsmen have scored 169 runs in 20 overs which is a good target but if there is any difficulty in their bowling then this target can be even stronger. Zimbabwe team will now have to play well to achieve this target and victory this match too. Kruger and Loftie Eaton have scored the most runs among Namibian batsmen due to which their target has become quite good and Ngarava and Evans have bowled the best among Zimbabwean bowlers who have taken 2 wickets and given away less runs. If Namibia works hard in their bowling as well then this series will become really interesting after their victory.

Zimbabwe is off to a flying start, as Brian Bennet is smashing the Namibian bowlers all around the park. Namibia needed to score around 200 to win this match, and they fell short by around 30 runs. That is not enough for Ruben Trumpelmann and JJ Smit to restrain the Zimbabwean batsmen. Retirement of David Wiese seems to have negatively impacted the performances of Namibia. They lack someone who can make big hits towards the end overs, and also act as a pace-bowling allrounder.

From Group A, it's looks like Pakistan and India will qualify for the next round. But in Group B, the competition will be tough as Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have the capability to beat each other. Pakistan and India should be in separate group to maintain balance in both groups.

UAE clearly in a position to win the game against Oman at the moment. Oman has lost 5 wickets and they still need 118 runs on 77 balls. The game between Sri Lanka and Hong Kong just started but odds are in favour of Sri Lanka.

I agree. People love to watch the India-Pakistan match in higher stages, such as the Super Four and Finals. I think the ICC designed it like this because they know both teams will qualify for the Super Four, and they want the India-Pakistan final again. This could be the reason they designed the tournament like this. UAE and OMAN were there, but I was surprised that Nepal did not appear in the Asia Cup.

The Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match will confirm which team will qualify. Losing against Afghanistan eliminate Bangladesh from the Asia cup, but if they win today, they will have to wait for Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match Sri Lanka have to win against Afghanistan.

That was very close game which played yesterday between Sri Lanka and Hong Kong where Sri Lanka beat Hong Kong by just four wickets. Hong Kong set good target and Sri Lanka only won because of great batting from Pathum Nissanka and quickruns from Wanindu Hasaranga. This was great competitive match. And I was not expecting this this. I was thinking that Sri Lanka would win this match easily. But how Hong Kong played that was admirable. They put mouch of pressure on big team. If they improve they can compete with top teams.

Amazing gameplay of Sri lank team in this game and Sri lanka  played a very good match after won first one and their team player gave great performance. Hopefully in the upcoming futures they will continue to play all matches like this. Hong Kong did not play well in the match and lost. The 8th match between Hong Kong and Sri Lanka was held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field first. Sri lanka won game by 4 wickets and 7 balls. Hong Kong set a record total runs for 149 and lost the game . Sri lanka chased all runs of total record for 149 and won the match. The top performer in Sri Lanka team was by Pathum Nissanka  scored 68 runs 44 balls hitting 6 fours and 2 sixs. Congratulations to Sri Lanka for 2nd win.

[Sithara007]

Tomorrow we have the United Arab Emirates vs Pakistan match is going to be very interesting. Pakistan lost to India, while won against Oman. And that leaves them with 2 points. UAE has the same number of points from their win against Oman. So in case they are able to beat Pakistan tomorrow, then they will qualify for the semi-finals on points. Given Pakistan's horrible form during the second match, I will not rule out an upset. The only thing that reduces the chance is that UAE is also going through a period of turmoil, due to the resignation/termination of several of their senior players.

From Group A, it's looks like Pakistan and India will qualify for the next round. But in Group B, the competition will be tough as Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have the capability to beat each other. Pakistan and India should be in separate group to maintain balance in both groups.

UAE clearly in a position to win the game against Oman at the moment. Oman has lost 5 wickets and they still need 118 runs on 77 balls. The game between Sri Lanka and Hong Kong just started but odds are in favour of Sri Lanka.

The Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match will confirm which team will qualify. Losing against Afghanistan eliminate Bangladesh from the Asia cup, but if they win today, they will have to wait for Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match Sri Lanka have to win against Afghanistan.

India and Pakistan are safe from Group A. UAE and Oman are not serious opponent and by chance UAE have a win against Pakistan, still Pakistan could qualify provided it have better Net run rate.
Group B is the difficult group. Sri Lanka is already safe, it overcame the toughest opponent Bangladesh and even if they lose against Afghanistan by any chance, they'd still qualify. The today's game between Afghanistan and Bangladesh would be the determinant. Whoever wins would qualify for the Super 4. So, today's match is the only significant match of this first round.

[Royal Cap]

The match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is going to start soon. We can see that Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat. In the last match, we can see that Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka by 6 wickets and we can see that Afghanistan won against Hong Kong by 94 runs. This is becoming a do or die situation for Bangladesh, that is, if Bangladesh wins this match, then they have a chance to go to the next round. But by looking at Google's The Win Probability, I realized that Bangladesh's chances today are only 34 percent. Let's see how exciting the match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is today.

Exactly this game is so important for both teams.
Both teams have two points this match is like knockout game and winner will move on to semi finals. Stakes are very high. Your point about Pakistan recent horrible form is key factor as it definitely makes upset possible. This is real concern for their fans. However main problem for UAE team issues caused by their senior players leaving. This internal problem could make it very hard for them to play their best. Given unique situations for both teams it is very hard to predict who will win. Match is fascinating fight between Pakistan poor performance and UAE internal problems.

This is a group B match and both these teams have two points each, although Afghanistan have played only a single match before this but Bangladesh have played two. Afghanistan will go into this match as unbeaten but Bangladesh have lost their previous game against Sri Lanka

This match is very important for the Bangladesh team as if they lose this match, then their chances to proceed further becomes very less but if they win this match, then this group becomes interesting and a lot will depend on the upcoming matches.

Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat. Anyway, I can see some changes in the XI of the Bangladesh team. But why has Towhid Hridoy been given a chance today? Towhid Hridoy has batted at strike rate below 100 in the last few matches. In my opinion another batsman should have been given a chance instead of Towhid Hridoy. However, since Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat, Bangladesh will have to score big and try to beat Afghanistan by a big margin. Bangladesh should be given at least 180+ targets today. Let's see how many runs Bangladesh can score.

This match is very important for the Bangladesh team as if they lose this match, then their chances to proceed further becomes very less but if they win this match, then this group becomes interesting and a lot will depend on the upcoming matches.

Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat. Bangladesh have come into the field with four changes in this match. Saif Hasan has entered today instead of Emon on opening duty. After 6 overs of the power play, the Bangladesh team has collected 59 runs without losing any wickets. This is the highest opening run total and the highest run in the power play in the last few series. Today, Bangladesh has come into the field with two wickets. Bangladesh must win this match today to advance to the second round. So far, Bangladesh has batted brilliantly, especially Tanjid Tamim. Let's see who can continue this batting and ensure the victory of the team in the end.

Bangladesh have scored the highest runs in the power play in the last few series with their opening two batsmen today. But this happened only because of some player changes or because of the excellent batting of Saif Hasan and Tanjid. Bangladesh were able to save 59 runs for their team in the power play against Afghanistan today without losing any wickets with their two opening batsmen. I hope Bangladesh will save a good run for their team today to win, and will try to strengthen their bowling performance. So far, Bangladesh team has been able to save 75 runs for their team in 9 overs losing one wicket. Let's see how many runs they can save for their team in the end.

Zimbabwe cricket is slowly improving. I can see the improvement in the batting order of the team especially. The team performed quite well in the last series against Sri Lanka. The players were confident. Zimbabwe is also able to play well in the 3-match T20 series against Namibia.
Zimbabwe scored a huge 211 runs today for the loss of just 3 wickets. The pitch is batting friendly though. Even then I have seen 200+ scores from Zimbabwe in very few matches. Opener Brian Bennett played a wonderful innings of 94 runs off 51 balls. Although Namibia was able to score 178 runs. Still it was an easy win for Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe outstanding performance in this match winning by 33 runs against Namibia. While chasing a huge total Namibia team only managed to score 178 runs and lost the match without any fight.  The man of The Match is Brian Bennett for his amazing batting performance added 94 aggressive runs to the team total from just 51 balls and assisted Zimbabwe to post huge runs on board. Unfortunately Brian Bennett missed his well deserved century by just 6 runs short but his efforts reached Zimbabwe total to 200 plus runs. Zimbabwe bowlers also bowl well Blessing Muzarabani bowling spell picked two important wickets and help his team to win this match easily.

Zimbabwe team again won T20 game and Namibia effort in this game was also great but unfortunately they lost 2 nd game by close margin. Namibia team set good runs target 169 in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. Malan and Jan both batsman showed good help in getting good runs and set good target but all their effort was not enough to win this game and bowling struggle was too poor. Marumani and Brian both opener batsmen played so well and Marumani made great progress and made half century 50 runs in 36 balls and hitting two 4s and three 6s. Bran also batted good with Marumani in opening and he made 40 runs. Zimbabwe team won game and chased down target in 18.1 overs and losing 5 wickets.

Bangladesh team performed a little weakly in the beginning but later they improved their game and at the moment they have lost two wickets. There are still enough wickets in hand, Bangladesh team must now bat well to increase the runs with excitement. Tanzid Hasan Tamim is batting brilliantly if he can survive till the last moment of the game then Bangladesh team will definitely be able to collect 170 plus runs today. If Bangladesh team can give a target of 170 runs against Afghanistan then it will be difficult for Afghanistan to win the match.

Bangladesh has to play well today, otherwise if Bangladesh loses, they will be eliminated from this year's Asia Cup. However, Bangladesh's opening batsmen Saif and Tanjid Hasan have made a very good start. So Bangladesh is going to score a big score today. However, Bangladesh's Liton Kumar Das could not do well today. Bangladesh's current total is 109 runs for the loss of 3 wickets and one of Bangladesh's best players, Tanjid Hasan, has been dismissed for a personal 52 runs.

Bangladesh had a pretty well first 10 overs. Even though they have lost some wickets now, they are still in advantageous position. They are already at 114 at the end of 14th over. Now they still have 6 overs and 7 wickets left. A moderate speculation should put them around 180 from here. If they played well, they can even reach 200 but if the rest of the batting fails to score and starts losing wicket, still a 150 would be a target they could look to defend. Afghanistan too has a good batting line up and would look to achieve any targets but Bangladesh is sure to give a fight for the Super 4 spot.
