T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Rustam Meraj]

If we look at who was good and stronger in this match, it was Pakistan good effort and this rain is an advantage for Sri Lanka because this series is going very badly for them and for that Sri Lanka will have to play with a lot of effort and strength for that Pakistan is not giving Sri Lanka any chance and playing well. In this third match, Pakistan will play enough well, if Sri Lanka tries and tries to control Pakistan then it will be equal between the two. If Pakistan victory the third match also, then Sri Lanka is playing very weakly at the moment and they will need to change themselves.

Exactly Pakistan is clearly stronger team at this point and Sri Lankan will have to come up with far better plan to stop them. Pakistan is playing at very high level, and their top batters, particularly Sahibzada Farhan with his half century in recent times, is making it very difficult to Sri Lanka to be in game. I think unless Sri Lanka fix problem of losing their wickets quickly one after another before beginning of T20 World Cup next month, team will still remain struggling. Biggest problem in Sri Lanka is not always talent, other it is mental pressure that they feel whenever two or three wickets have fallen. T20 of the Pakistan under lead of Salman Agha is far more attacking than sort of play that Sri Lanka is currently showing and unless Sri Lankan batters change their slow pace of scoring they will once again get beaten. It will be final chance of Sri Lanka to show that they are prepared to play World Cup in their own country, in my opinion.

I've been waiting for good news for a long time, but the rain just keeps falling. Unfortunately, the second T20I between Pakistan and Sri Lanka called off because of rain.
Today's rain was a big factor, and now we're looking ahead to the third T20I between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Hopefully without any rain interruptions.

Yesterday's match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was not held due to bad weather in Dambulla, but Sri Lanka managed to lose the series. The victory or defeat of the series will depend on the final match, especially. If yesterday's match had taken place, Pakistan would definitely have won, especially as Pakistan is currently performing much better than Sri Lanka, as we have seen in the first match. So Sri Lanka benefited more than Pakistan from the match being abandoned yesterday.

Women Premium League First Match

First game of 2026 Women premier league  saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru win holding winners, Mumbai Indians, by 3 wickets. Nadine de Klerk, South African player became hero as she fired with four wickets to make sure that score of Mumbai was at 154 runs and then took 63 runs to get team win and made her mark by making four huge hits in final over. She was lucky as well as her skill was amazing since Mumbai made three dropped catches which would have changed game. They lost their star player, Ellyse Perry however with their new players RCB showed that they are very strong this year, and Mumbai could only feel sorry for their mistakes on field.

The second match at Dambulla got washed out due to incessant rains. And this raises concern for the matches that are scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka for the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka is supposed to host a total of 20 matches (out of a tournament total of 55), potentially including one semi-final as well as final. And at this point, heavy rains are interrupting life in all parts of Sri Lanka. The best time to stage these matches were during the second quarter of the year. But then, that is when the Indian Premier League (IPL) is supposed to be played, and therefore the calendar is not free.

Women Premium League First Match

It was one of biggest victories of Royal Challengers Bengaluru showing that it is now very powerful team which can win even in feeling of high pressure. Nadine de Klerk again did great job even though they lost their star player, Ellyse Perry, getting four wickets and 63 runs in match with four boundary hits in final over to win game. On other hand, Mumbai Indians had lost due to making several mistakes that were important in particular i.e. catches. Through this game, it was shown that RCB is not short of good players any more and they do not have to rely on single or two stars to win. Their new players are able to deal with tough situations so well, which makes RCB appear to be much more dangerous team in this season.

You are absolutely right Pakistan once again dominated Sri Lanka just as Pakistan won the first match everyone expected them to win the entire series but due to bad weather the second match was not played.If it had been played Pakistan would have won this match too. Now everyone is waiting for the final match.If Sri Lanka works hard the series lead can be equal but Pakistan has a higher chance of winning.Now it is very difficult to defeat Pakistan because they have very capable batsmen and bowlers who give their opponents a hard time. Pakistan has changed one batsman and the return of Shadab Khan will make the team stronger.If you look at it Sri Lanka should regret their defeat because this is the second time they will lose to Pakistan.

Nadine de Klerk was a top class player of this match because she gave excellent effort in this match and made 63 runs in just 44 balls . That chase was not an easy task for Royal Challengers Bengaluru W cricket team because they were in pressure when they lose wickets at the start of the inning and Prema Rawat role was also Crutial in this match because she hit 2 fours in  this match and was good partner of Nadine de Klerk . Mumbai Indians W team bowling was good in this match but they could not take wicket of Nadine de Klerk and that was the reason they lose this match at the end. Royal Challengers Bengaluru W team took good start in this tournament and they will try to win next matches which is important for that team.

Sri Lanka team not in good form these days and that's not a good indication for their fans who are waiting to see their team in action on T20 world cup. We saw Sri Lankan team losing to Zimbabwe in tri-nation series played in Pakistan last November. Sri Lanka also lost first T20I match of this series without giving any good fight and it looks like they will also lose third T20I. After this series, England will play also play ODI and T20I series, this will give Sri Lanka an opportunity to improve their cricket for upcoming T20 world cup.

Actually, I think that the Tri-Nation series and this T20 series with Sri Lanka are mainly in Pakistan's favor because through this, Pakistan team can get a boost in the ICC T20 rankings.
For example, if they manage to win the next match against Sri Lanka, then there is a possibility of crossing the West Indies team to the sixth position in the T20 rankings and then if they can do a few more matches well, then there is a possibility of challenging the South African team in terms of points. Which will make the Pakistan team extra confident before the start of the T20 World Cup.

I haven't seen it, but I checked the score recently and saw that the Mumbai Indians women's team performed well in this match, not only in their batting performance, but also in their bowling performance, which ultimately led to the Mumbai Indians women's team winning easily by 50 runs.
In terms of batting performance, we must give credit to Harmanpreet Kaur, while Nat Sciver-Brunt had a similar performance but was dismissed, while Harmanpreet Kaur, on the other hand, was not out even after scoring 74 runs off 42 balls.

Nadine de Klerk again did great job even though they lost their star player, Ellyse Perry, getting four wickets and 63 runs in match with four boundary hits in final over to win game. On other hand, Mumbai Indians had lost due to making several mistakes that were important in particular i.e. catches. Through this game, it was shown that RCB is not short of good players any more and they do not have to rely on single or two stars to win. Their new players are able to deal with tough situations so well, which makes RCB appear to be much more dangerous team in this season.

RCB women team batted first and they scored 157 on loss of 7 wicket. Nadine de Klerk batted well, she played with 143 strike rate. Two partnerships built strong first in start which was 40 runs of 23 balls and second partnership built in the end which was 52 runs of 51 balls.
As Nadine de Klerk batted well similarly she bowled well she bowled 4 overs gave 26 runs and took 4 wickets. What a lovely bowling.
On the other hand the Mumbai Indians teams bowled well but Nat Sciver-Brunt proved expensive she gave 47 runs and took 1 wicket in 4 overs. Other bowlers good as compared to this. In the batting field only 1 partnership built at the end which was 82 runs of 49 balls. They tried to win the match but due to some mistakes they could not succeed and faced the defeat.

[ThemePen]

So today Pakistan and Sri Lanka will face each other again. As we know that Pakistan has already won the first match. Sahibzada Farhan played well in the first game. I hope he will play well again. Shadab khan also was very good in that match. After that second match was abandoned due to rain. And today is the last match of T20 series. I hope that Pakistan will play well again and try to win this match to win the series.

This is key last match in Dambulla, and as Pakistan has 1-0 lead, they are well placed to win whole trophy ahead of T20 world cup. Flirst game was good enough with Sahibzada Farhan and Shadab Khan scoring quick and offering all round skills that team needs to keep it ahead of rest. Pakistan will wish weather was clear today despite slight chance of rain as they want to have time to practice under such conditions. Although most of fans are stuck to stars, Abrar Ahmed has been hidden man with his tricky spin bowling becoming extremely hard to beat by Sri Lankan batters. If Abrar is able to do again success he had today, it will become extremely difficult to have Pakistan lose series to Sri Lanka by 2 goals to 0.

You are right about Abrar Ahmed his mystery spin is quite difficult to understand, and dust in air today makes his bowling even harder for batters of Sri Lankan team. Though when it rains scoring of Pakistan may be high and they are normally safe according to rules of DLS and victory today will give them huge push ahead of T20 World Cup. I believe that Sri Lanka will not be able to manage, as they can not handle spin duo Shadab and Abrar. I do agree that Pakistan might not lose this series anymore because their spinners are simply too strong as compared to home team. I believe Pakistan will win this match.

Waiting for the third and the last game of the series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pakistan is in the upper hand since they are winning the first game but on the other hand, if we talk about Sri Lanka, they cannot win the home series. Yeah, they are able to draw it but that also sounds difficult, hard as a big challenge.
 
By the way, there are many chances that rain might again disturb the game, the weather pattern isn't good for cricket there.

It doesn't look like the match will start today because the rain is still continuing and the toss is being delayed. Just like the second match was abandoned without a toss due to rain, the third match will probably be abandoned without a toss as well. However, Sri Lanka might have had some chance to level the match or the series in today's match, but that might not be possible if it is abandoned because Pakistan is already leading 1-0 by winning one match. If today's match is abandoned, Pakistan will win the series by winning one match.

The match is still delayed because of rain and it looks like this match will also washed out. World Cup is starting in less then 30 days and if weather remain same then world cup won't be entertaining. If this match is washed out then Pakistan will win the series 1-0 and that's why Sri Lankans must be looking forward to play this game to level this series. Pakistan also want to play this series because they want to climatize themselves with playing conditions for upcoming world cup.
