Afghanistan Vs West Indies

Today the last T20 match between Afghanistan vs West Indies will be held. Afghanistan team has won the first T20I match and the second T20 match. If Afghanistan team can ensure victory today then they will definitely be able to whitewash West Indies team, so Afghanistan team will have to take today's match as challenging to whitewash. In this case how much role do you think West Indies team can play to avoid whitewash, because West Indies team will have to take this match as challenging to get rid of whitewash.

When the West Indies were batting, they were supposed to make a big total but that did not happen. They could only make 151 runs and that is almost below par score. Maybe they needed another 30 runs to give themselves a better chance. They still have chance but can they restrict the Afghanistan team under 150 ?

Captain Brandon King played his part but that wasn't enough for them. Also he missed his half century just by three runs. There were some power hitting by the guys coming late in the order like Matthew Forde and Shimron Hetmyer who tried to play fast and also lost their wickets quickly.

The game of T20I Afg and WI has come to an end. Afg defend the strong target and won the game by 39 runs. Afg batted first and showing well control in batting and don't panicked in tough conditions and give a strong taget to WI in allotted twenty overs. After putting a strong target Afg don't take it in easy way and also showing a very high quality bowling and utilizes their bowlers according to perfect plane which helps in the successful defend for Afg. WI batters put a great efforts to chase the target but unfortunately don't successful to achieve the planes and lost the game.

Afghanistan have had a very good start but their current run rate is slowing down a bit, although they still have nine wickets in hand and 65 runs from 43 balls is not too difficult in the T20 format, but the West Indies are now in a slightly stronger position than they were in at the beginning.

Although I am hoping that the final result will be that Afghanistan will do it and whitewash the West Indies. I can see that the Afghan batsmen are currently playing dot ball to increase their individual scores, which as a side effect we can see is increasing their required run rate. I think the Afghan batsmen should put this thought out of their minds and perform dedicatedly for the team.

If Afghanistan had won this third match, all three t20 matches would have been their,but that did not happen. In this match,which was the third t20 match between the West Indies and Afghanistan the toss was first played between them, which the Afghanistan team win after which they chose to bowl and gave the West Indies a chance to bat. In this, their players together set a target of 151 minutes. All the players together achieved this target. Watching everyone's batting, it was amazing that the entire team supported each other, which enabled them to achieve this target. Perhaps because of this foundation and teamwork, they won this match. The first player to come in from the Afghanistan team gave a good foundation to the match, which was 71. I think the West Indies team, taking revenge for the previous two matches, put a lot of bowling pressure on them and it was clear that there was no other good bowling that the Afghanistan team had.  The bowling of the team was not good and all the players also wasted a lot of balls due to which they faced failure in this match for 15 days.

West Indies also got back their pride in last T20I game in Dubai by beating Afghanistan by 13 runs despite Afghanistan winning series. Afghanistan appeared to be winning game easily until Shamar Springer changed idea in 19th over by taking famous hat trick, getting out three of their main players such as best scorer, Rahmanullah Gurbaz. West Indies had before fought battle against bowling of Rashid Khan, and were late in getting to 151 runs with help of Matthew Forde and Springer. This was especially important win as it was first ever T20 victory by West Indies at Dubai stadium since they are going to play T20 world cup in 2026, and they have shown that they are able of playing on slow grounds.

Afghanistan's two batsmen, Rahmatullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Jordan, performed quite well. Entering the field as opening batsmen, they wanted to win the match with their best performance, and started their batting performance with the intention of whitewashing the West Indies team. But after this opening pair of the Afghanistan team was out, no other pair could last long, so the Afghanistan team itself remained in failure.
I never expected such a performance from the Afghanistan team in this match, but the West Indies team introduced themselves as brave and attacking in front of the audience with their best performance.

While Afghanistan was 72 for no lose in 10 overs, I was pretty sure about their win in this match and whitewash as well but after this suddenly things gone out their hands with they lost quick wickets which kept West Indies in game especially Shamar Springer who was playing for first time in this series done magic.

Shamar Springer first two overs were without any wicket but in third he took the wicket of Sediqullah Atal with in 18 over of Afghanistan inning, he took hat trick which gave good win to his team and he also secured best bowling figures of his career still these last 10 overs of Afghanistan inning was wired because they were on course of win but done few mistakes and faced the consequences.

Afghanistan were delivering top notch performance throughout the series and were expected to secure white wash series victory against west indies and they were almost on the brink of turn into reality because west indies hasn't scored that huge, but surprisingly three back to back vital game changing wicket from Shamar Springer at 19th over fell game out of Afghan hand and unfortunately they lose a golden opportunity to improve his team status. Morever gurbaz try all his best and got hit at head too while rotating strike but all in vain after loss.

Afghanistan should have won this match. They restricted West Indies to 151/7, and that too in a good surface at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. But batting has been their weakness for the last few years. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the only one who looked comfortable out there. Ibrahim Zadran gave good support in the beginning, but once he got out, the Afghan batting line-up collapsed like a peck of cards. Anyway, Afghanistan already won the series 2-1, so I guess the defeat yesterday will not have much impact on the morale of the players. And their next match will be against New Zealand in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Today will be the 2nd match of the T20 series between India and New Zealand. We saw that in the 1st match India scored 238 runs which was difficult for any team to chase, yet the New Zealand batsmen put in a good effort but they were limited to 190 runs. But we can say that if the New Zealand bowlers could have performed well and restricted India below 200 runs then the result of the match could have been different. However, Abhishek Sharma bats aggressively in almost all matches, he is seen batting at a strike rate of 200+ in most matches which is very commendable. So today the New Zealand bowlers have to try to get Abhishek Sharma out quickly. Let's see which team can win this match.

Today focus stays on Raipur to play second T20I inwhere India hopes to win series 2 goals 0 after beating Nagpur match by 48 runs. You were right, biggest danger is Abhishek Sharma, he is first player in world to hit 5,000 T20 runs in shortest possible time, and he is world record holder in most fifties in less than 25 balls.

Way to New Zealand winning to day is to get Abhishek out before he can do any more of his Batting Wagon Wheel stuff, but they cannot ignore Raipur ground that is mostly bouncy to fast bowlers, and which helps spinners as match slows down. I believe that only chance that New Zealand has is to give Daryl Mitchell more time in batting spot since he is their most trusted player against spin now.

Mera prediction to best raha ab tak, sahi paise bhi ban gaye.

In the BBL game today between Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes, I am hoping to see that this time Sydney Sixers will play magically because this is the most awaiting game since the start of the league.

If we talk about their journey so far, it might be their last game nobody knows about this mystery, cricket games are unpredictable no matter how accurate the version of prediction you are using.
At the start of the league, they lost back-to-back and at one stage, many of the supporters or fans lost hope but then they made a great comeback, dominated almost every opponent and this is the time when they should have won and qualified for the final.

However, Abhishek Sharma bats aggressively in almost all matches, he is seen batting at a strike rate of 200+ in most matches which is very commendable. So today the New Zealand bowlers have to try to get Abhishek Sharma out quickly. Let's see which team can win this match.

New Zealand won the ODI series. But they stumbled in the first T20I. They lost mainly because of the poor bowling of the bowlers. It was naturally very difficult to win against a team like India, who were batting for a huge target of 239 runs.

This stadium in Raipur is new. So it is difficult to predict the condition of the pitch. But it seems that this will also be a batting friendly pitch. The batting order of both the teams is very strong. Today too, there is a high possibility of seeing runs close to 200.
The first target of New Zealand bowlers today should be to try to take the wicket of Abhishek Sharma quickly. If Abhishek Sharma can survive for 8 overs at the crease, India will undoubtedly move towards a big collection.

[As-Soon-As]

Today's T20 match between Italy vs Ireland has started, here I see that Italy has scored 118 runs in the competition between these two teams. Ireland has started batting and they have scored 66 runs in 10 overs, but Ireland has kept the wickets under control. So in this match, Ireland will undoubtedly have a chance to win, because here I see that Italy is not very strong in terms of bowling.
So if they cannot create bowling pressure on Ireland, then Ireland will not be able to suppress them. This is where the failure of Italy will be revealed, Italy is much weaker than Ireland. Ireland is gradually moving towards securing victory.

[Doll2233]

India is very experienced in T20I and they can bat very well and score runs quickly. Although they lost the ODI series, they will try hard to win the T20I series against New Zealand. In today's match, India has managed to win by a huge margin, defeating the New Zealand team by 48 runs. However, India must improve their game more because if they ignore the performance of the New Zealand team and its much better performance, India may get stuck in the T20I series like the ODI series. Therefore, India will have to win their T20I series with great concentration. Although New Zealand will try hard in the next matches, they will try to get back on track, and I think it will be difficult for India to beat India. The series between New Zealand and India will definitely be competitive, if India performs well in every match like today, they will have a good chance.

It was a really enjoyable game between India and New Zealand. Indian batters showing there aggression in batting and completely dominating on New Zealand's bowlers and India won the game. Abhishek Sharma played a very classical and aggressive inning while giving the target. He was in good touch and contributed 84 runs in total and unfortunately missing his century and the target was given by India is  239 runs. Target seems to be strong but in realtime its not easy to defend it because the pitch is supporting to batters and also the due drops in night is favourable for batting but instead of these factors India well perform in bowling and also  utilities the bowling lineup according to perfect plane. New Zealand don't utilizes its bowling line up perfectly especially don't use there spinners and focous on pacers which turns the game in favor of India and but India shows very wise bowling plane and at the that easily defend the target of 239 runs and won the game.

Very poor performance from New Zealand team in 1st T20 match. They gave 238 runs in T20, unbelievable too much weaker performance. Nz team has experienced players in his team but today they did not show their experience. Glenn Phillips gave 20 runs in 1 over, he was proved expensive as compared to other. Remaining other bowler's economy rate was 10 plus. When you delivered bad performance then other team took benefit. In batting side only Glenn Phillips batted well as compared to others. They could not bowled well but they came back in his batting. In starting they lost 3 wickets back to back so these reasons caused of defeat.
On the other side Indian players played outstanding inning especially Abishak sharma and rinku sing. Sharma scored 84 runs in just 35 balls and rinku scored 40 runs in just 20 balls. Mind blowing batting by Indian team. In bowling line Axar and Varun proved expensive as compared to other. They bowled with 10+ economy rate. But congratulations for a great victory and best of luck for the next game.

[JSRAW]

Hope Axar's finger injury isn't serious, poor guy took a hit and ended up with a cut on finger, to make things worse it was his bowling hand. Team combination will take a hit if it's serious injury.

Bumrah resting, too much workload? And Rana ji is our new bowling allrounder i guess.

Today is going to be the second T20 game between India and New Zealand. India is dominating all the games, no matter who the opponent is.

The last time India lost a game to New Zealand was in 2016. It has been almost 10 years and New Zealand is still looking to have a win, while this is a cup of tea for the Indian team. Let's see what will happen today. Can New Zealand change the history? By the way, New Zealand won the ODI game, their ODI squad did their best but now we want the same effort and same results as well from the New Zealand T20 team ahead of the World Cup.

West Indies also got back their pride in last T20I game in Dubai by beating Afghanistan by 13 runs despite Afghanistan winning series.

3 games series was completed now and last game was played yesterday between Afghanistan and West Indies team. This game was held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium and in start of game, Afghanistan team won toss and they elected bowling lineup first and gave batting to West indies team. Both past game was won Afghanistan team but unfortunately they failed to beat West Indies in this last 3 rd game of this series and West indies team set 151 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Brandon captain of team showed brilliant effort and he made 47 runs in 35 balls and hitted two 4s and three 6s. Afghanistan team did not chase all runs and lost this 3 rd game by 15 runs. Shamar got player of game award because his bowling effort was very helpful and he took down 4 wickets in 4 overs and gave 20 runs.

Congratulations Afghanistan team on winning series 2-1.

[Compromise me]

Today's T20 match between Italy vs Ireland has started, here I see that Italy has scored 118 runs in the competition between these two teams. Ireland has started batting and they have scored 66 runs in 10 overs, but Ireland has kept the wickets under control. So in this match, Ireland will undoubtedly have a chance to win, because here I see that Italy is not very strong in terms of bowling.
So if they cannot create bowling pressure on Ireland, then Ireland will not be able to suppress them. This is where the failure of Italy will be revealed, Italy is much weaker than Ireland. Ireland is gradually moving towards securing victory.

The match was two sided because both teams played in tough pitch and no team could play openly in this match. Italy cricket team made very low target in this match which was of only 119 and opponent team chased the in last over with fall of 7 wickets in this match. Matthew Humphreys performance was excellent in this match because he took 4 wickets in this match and gave good start to his team and took wickets back to back and opponent team could not make good target on this wicket . Anthony Mosca tried to hit in this match but he could not successful in this match because opponent team bowling was good. He made 35 runs in this match and he hit 2 sixes and 4 fours in this match which was great effort by that player but after that we saw no player who played well for his team.

Hope Axar's finger injury isn't serious, poor guy took a hit and ended up with a cut on finger, to make things worse it was his bowling hand. Team combination will take a hit if it's serious injury.

Bumrah resting, too much workload? And Rana ji is our new bowling allrounder i guess.

Bumrah is a sure thing so exposing him much isn't necessary so I guess he will be playing every alternate match and also the time to test the bench strength. India used 7 bowlers already so it is clear that they want to find who is going to be an option if someone had an off day. Godd to see Kuldeep is taking wickets.

Kiwis somehow managed the RR even with losing wickets on the regular intervals, India could be chasing 205 I guess.

It is a serious injury that Axar sustained, particularly considering that it is his bowling hand, and even a small cut can influence control. Hopefully it is not serious since he is the component of team balance. Bumrah is comfortable in his workload and rotation is a way of trying the bench. The entry of Rana as a bowling all-rounder is a bonus. The fact that Kuldeep has been scoring well on wicket keeping is a plus. There will be a struggle to chase 200 plus, but India have the batting to take it off in high pressure T20 scenarios matches.
