T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[ThemePen]

Nepal has improved a lot during the last 3-4 years. In the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, they are currently ahead of the United Arab Emirates. Also, during the Asian T20 Qualifiers, they finished at the top, ahead of both Oman and the United Arab Emirates. They are placed along with England, West Indies, Scotland and Italy in Group C. Apart from Italy, all the other teams are quite strong. And this will make it difficult for them to qualify for the next round. But most of their major players are in form, including spinner Sandeep Lamichhane and keeper Aarif Sheikh.

Fast progress of Nepal in recent years has seen them perform at front of Associate countries and they have continually defeated countries such as UAE and Oman in League 2 and Asian Qualifiers. As much as you are correct in stating that Group C is difficult task given presence of strong teams such as England and West Indies, chances of Nepal missing Super 8s has increased now that Scotland has taken over from Bangladesh in group. To make it, Nepal is likely to have to beat both Italy and Scotland, and then get historic upset on one of Tier-1 teams. Presence of Sandeep Lamichhane in top form will be very important on spinning surfaces and steady play of Aarif Sheikh and Dipendra Singh Airee who both made unbeaten fifties in warm up victory over UAE yesterday will give them back up in middle order that they require to face best bowling. Having one of  most passionate fanbases in Mumbai, Nepal is not there to take part in game anymore. They are prepared to fight to get in the next round.

By their success in beating other partner nations such as UAE and Oman among others, Nepal have now become leading cricket team in terms of it being placed among leading cricket teams in world, and now they are prepared to fight to be put in Super 8s of T20 World Cup 2026. Path is no longer boring since Scotland has taken place of Bangladesh despite Group C being hard with England and the West Indies. Nepal will likely need to beat Italy and Scotland and try to get one of great wins against one of biggest teams to move on. They will depend on spin bowling of Sandeep Lamichhane, middle order batting of Aarif Sheikh and Dipendra Singh Airee, who have been in very good shape in recent practice win. Now they will face Canada in next warm up match and I think they will beat Canada.

Afghanistan vs West Indies, 8th Match, ICC Men's T20 World Cup Warm up match Afghanistan scored 182 runs for the loss of six wickets. Although the West Indies team had a chance to win today's match, they are under a lot of pressure at the moment due to their poor batting performance. They have already lost their important wickets and it seems impossible for them to win their match at the moment after losing 7 wickets. The West Indies team is under pressure due to their poor batting performance in the power play, so today's match will definitely be won by Afghanistan. The bowling performance of the Afghanistan team is very good at the moment and they are trying to put a lot of pressure on the West Indies team and they are fielding well to win the match. At the moment, the West Indies team needs to score 98 runs in 36 balls to win against Afghanistan, which is a very difficult task. We can ensure Afghanistan's victory in this match.

Target was low in this match and that was one sided match. United Arab Emirates cricket team performance was not excellent in this match and that was the reason players were not confident to make good target in this match. Sohaib Khan was a person who made 38 runs in this match and before that no player could make good partnership in this match and Many players  could not enter in double figures. Nepal team lose 2 wickets at the start of the inning but after that Dipendra Singh Airee played brilliant inning in this match and played only 31 balls and made 50 runs and hit 1 six and 4 fours in this match. Sandeep Lamichhane performance was good in this match because he took 2 wickets in this match and gave less runs in this match and opponent team could not hit that player .

Afghanistan beat West Indies by 23 runs today in the warm-up match. Afghanistan batting first and their openers provided them a great start. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran full of power hitting batting but due to some reasons, Ibrahim retired out. Sediqullah Atal comes and struggling to have a boundary. He scored 12 runs in 18 balls with just moving strike.

Moreover, the later batsmen tried their best and did wonderful power hitting at the end, they eventually scored 182 runs, and of course, West Indies struggled early, the top order and early middle order hardly gathered runs.

Afghanistan's victory over West Indies will undoubtedly inspire the Afghanistan cricket team in the T20 World Cup matches. Afghanistan's batsmen were seen to perform remarkably well in today's match. Out of 7 Afghan batsmen batting today, West Indies bowlers could only dismiss two of them, the remaining three batsmen voluntarily left the batting and one was run out. Except for Gulbadin Naib, the other Afghan batsmen performed well, among them Ibrahim Zadran scored 51 runs in 34 balls and towards the end, T20 specialist Azmatullah Omarzai scored 35 lines in just 15 balls.
On the other hand, West Indies batsmen could not show a relatively good batting performance. We did not see any other batsman score runs except for West Indies batsman Matthew Forde's 26-ball innings or other runs. As a result, they lost by 23 runs.

This was the expected result. The West Indies team is not in good shape. Their performance is very erratic now. Afghanistan is quite strong in comparison. And they proved it in the warm up match.
Afghanistan collected 90 runs from the opening pair. Gurbaz 43 runs and Ibrahim Zardan collected 51 runs. They were able to give a decent target of 183 runs. West Indies do not have the ability to collect 180+ against the Afghan bowlers. Except Matthew Forde, no other batsman from West Indies could do well. Ford's innings of 52 runs off 26 balls helped West Indies collect 159 runs.

India vs South Africa

India has given a huge target of 241 runs against South Africa. India is in very good form. They dominated the series against New Zealand a few days ago. They will win against South Africa today too.
Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma and Hardik Pandya have batted well. As a result, they have given a big target. And the Indian bowlers are also doing their duty properly. They have taken 4 wickets in 9.3 overs. And South Africa's collection is now 97 runs. South Africa needs to collect 144 runs in 63 balls to win. They need to score about 13.7 runs per over at an average of.

It was hard rain at Colombo and it leads that today's warm up game between Pakistan and Ireland not played and by the way, it was the first and the last warm-up match for Pakistan.

Hopefully later in the World Cup games they would not find trouble and also Pakistan already having pressure to win all their group stages game at any coast, since they are not going to play against India so two points will be given to India without playing. Even Indian team will take the flight to Colombo from India and practice there, reaches to the ground at the time of match and then the umpire will say that Pakistan is not to play, then they will go back to India.

Yeah, in Men's T20  World Cup Warm-up game, Afghanistan defeated West Indies by 23 runs. Afghanistan opens inning first with Rehmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran and both the openers  give a veey positive start to the team and Zadran played a well innings of 51 runs and also Gurbaz played a well knock of 43 runs and in middle order Darwish Rasooli  played a well knock of 27 runs and also Azmatullah  played a well innings of 35 runs and at the end of the innings Afghanistan set a strong target of 183 runs. West Indies opens inning with Shai Hope  and Brandon King but both the openers don't give a positive start to the team and King scores only 11 runs and also Hope losses his wicket early on 5 runs and in middle order Rovmen Powell played good inning of 32 runs and after that the was panicked and also Matthew Forde played a well knock of 52 runs but  West Indies don't chase the target successfully and scores only 159 runs and Afghanistan won the game

By their success in beating other partner nations such as UAE and Oman among others, Nepal have now become leading cricket team in terms of it being placed among leading cricket teams in world, and now they are prepared to fight to be put in Super 8s of T20 World Cup 2026. Path is no longer boring since Scotland has taken place of Bangladesh despite Group C being hard with England and the West Indies. Nepal will likely need to beat Italy and Scotland and try to get one of great wins against one of biggest teams to move on. They will depend on spin bowling of Sandeep Lamichhane, middle order batting of Aarif Sheikh and Dipendra Singh Airee, who have been in very good shape in recent practice win. Now they will face Canada in next warm up match and I think they will beat Canada.

Don't forget that Nepal has won a 3 match T20I series against WI back in Sep 2025 and they both are now in same group. If we look at teams in group C, then it's possible for Nepal to beat teams like WI, Italy and Scotland. Nepal is more active in T20I compared to Italy and Scotland that's why I am ranking Nepal higher then these two teams. T20 is different cricket where even weak team can beat the strong side and we have seen many contest like that. England based on its recent performance is favourite to qualify for next round and one team from Nepal or WI can qualify for the next round.

India vs South Africa

India has given a huge target of 241 runs against South Africa. India is in very good form. They dominated the series against New Zealand a few days ago. They will win against South Africa today too.
Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma and Hardik Pandya have batted well. As a result, they have given a big target. And the Indian bowlers are also doing their duty properly. They have taken 4 wickets in 9.3 overs. And South Africa's collection is now 97 runs. South Africa needs to collect 144 runs in 63 balls to win. They need to score about 13.7 runs per over at an average of.

In this match the South African team had almost achieved the target set by the opposing team because the target was 240 run.They scored 210 runs with 30 runs remaining. The 20 over of the match were completed and seven of their players were dismissed in order to complete this target, but still this target was not completed. On the other hand, the Indian team is much better than them and the Indian team has participated in many matches and has won them. In this match too, their performance was going to win and that is what happened. Seeing the performance of their players, it was already understood that perhaps the other team was not able to put pressure on them with their bowling nor was their bowling able to get their players out. They played three and a half overs comfortably and completed an excellent target in them, which was enough to win them over.

India batsmen are enough strong, their batsmen do not do any kind of negligence, due to which their target became so strong and they gave a strong target of 240 in 20 overs and this target was strong for South Africa but it was not so strong that South Africa batsmen scored 210 runs but they could not completely victory. In this series too, India did not give New Zealand any chance and India made a mistake in only 1 match, due to which they were successful. India batsmen all played well and achieved this target with hard work and also kept their bowling under control till the end, but I am happy that South Africa played enough strongly but they still failed in the last 30 overs. South Africa bowling was not very strong in stopping runs and India bowlers paid more attention to this, so they succeeded easily.

India has the biggest chance of winning this T20 World Cup. Firstly, the World Cup is being held in India. Also, the Indian team is in great form. A few days ago, India dominated the T20 matches against New Zealand. India defeated New Zealand 4-1 in the series.

India performed well against South Africa in the warm-up match of the World Cup. India's biggest strength is that their batsmen are in very good form. And that is why collecting big runs is not a difficult task for India. They have the full ability and qualification to win the World Cup.

India is huge favorite to T20 World Cup as it is their first world ranking and, as hosts, they have clear win in event and dream ending. Their new form is unbelievable, as they are on winning streak of 4-1 series against New Zealand and a huge warm-up victory over South Africa on February 4 showing giant score of 240/5.

India has unmatched number of good players in batting with players like Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in full help being in top form, and they can afford to play in very fast way as early as in first over. Personally, I feel that although there is danger from teams such as Australia and Pakistan, biggest danger facing India will be the home pressure and selection problem of having so many players who are playing well. If they continue this speed and do not have one bad day during final stages, then they deserve to be lifting trophy on home soil.

Indian selectors finally had the courage to kick out non-performing Sanju Samson and replace him with Ishan Kishan. And this has significantly strengthened the squad. But the entire episode made them a laughing stock. The selectors were too afraid to drop Samson (although he was not scoring runs) due to the bullying from his fans. As a result, the team was losing matches and other batsmen were put under pressure. Samson has scored 1078 runs in T20I cricket so far, at an average of 23.95. Now compare this with Abhishek Sharma, who has 1297 runs @ 37.05.

Zimbabwe is playing its second warm up game against Oman in Colombo. The toss went in favour of Oman who decided to bowl first and Zimbabwe batting first has scored 187 runs in 20 overs. Tashinga Musekiwa came to bat at number seven position and scored a half century.  Zimbabwe has won it's first warm game against Netherlands by 29 runs and it looks like they will win this match also. Zimbabwe should be given one warm up game against strong team also so that they can prepare themselves against tough opponents also. This might be last world cup for Zimbabwe Captain Sikander Raza who is almost 40 years old now.

The match is already over and Oman has won by 4 wickets. Batting first, Zimbabwe scored 187 runs for the loss of 7 wickets, but this night was not enough for them to win. Although Zimbabwe is a slightly stronger team than Oman, Oman won today's match due to the performance of the Oman batsmen. 187 runs was not a low score at all for a T20 match in this era, especially for Oman, but due to the excellent batting performance of Oman batsmen Jatinder Singh, Jiten Ramanandi, Hammad Mirza, they ensured the victory of the team with four balls in hand. This victory in the warm-up match before the World Cup will give Oman a lot of confidence.

Jatinder Singh played very brilliant in the last match and he made half century in this match And played only 33 Balls in this match. He hit 1 six and 8 fours in this match and gave good start in the second inning of the match and team has potential to play well in the T20 World Cup because in the World cup any team can perform well because few overs can change the result of the match. Jitenkumar Ramanandi role was crutial in this match because he played with strike rate of 188 in this match because it was required at the end of the match and he was not out at the end of the match and  Sufyan Mehmood took 3 wickets for his team and his bowling was great in this match and his economy was very low in this match.
