T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[AgriTrack]

The match between Pakistan and the USA is ongoing. The Pakistan innings has ended, and they set a target of 190 for the USA team in 20 overs, losing 9 wickets. This shows that the USA bowlers gave a tough time to the Pakistani players. Now the USA innings is ongoing, and they have scored 57 runs in 7 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. That is a good performance, and if the USA team goes a little faster, they will easily chase the target. However, the question arises, will they challenge the Pakistani bowlers and win the match, or not? What do you guys think?

Today's match was played between Pakistan and USA in which Pakistan team showed a very impressive performance. Pakistan team has dominated all the matches because Pakistan is trying to win every match in this World Cup. Pakistan had given a target of 190 runs against the next team. Sahibzada Farhan has done wonders in their match, who scored 73 runs against his entire team and Babar Azam scored 46 runs to increase his team's score. Shaheen Shan Afridi also did not let the next team score more runs with his good bowling, due to which USA scored only 158 and failed to win today's match.

Yeah, Pakistan won two of their matches, but not in the way they need to. The Pakistan team is now considered one of the best teams, but in the recent two matches, they won with high effort, and their opponents are not of their caliber. Imagine if a good team came to face the Pakistan team, how would they perform on the field? In the first match, they almost lost, but Faheem Ashraf turned the lost match into a win, and the same happened in today's match. S. Farhan did not score well and they would have lost this match too.

USA only have five over left in there innings and they still need 80 to win. USA has seven wickets in hand but it won't be easy to score 80 runs in 5 overs. You are right in saying that T20 match can went in favour of any team at any moment and Pakistan team was well aware of that fact after winning the match against Netherlands. Sahibzada Farhan and Shadab Khan batting was extraordinary today and that helped Pakistan in scoring 190 runs. Shadley van Schalkwyk bowled very well and picked 4 wickets in his 4 overs while conceding just 25 runs.   

Yes, the game is over and Pakistan have won by 32 runs. For USA, Shubham Ranjane scored a top score of 51 runs off 30 balls while Shayan Jahangir scored 49 runs off 34 balls. When Pakistan scored 190 runs in the first innings, it was almost certain that Pakistan would win today's match. If the USA batsmen had shown a better batting performance, the game would have been more exciting, but most of the USA batsmen were dismissed for very few runs, two of them were dismissed for ducks and two batsmen could manage one run each. For Pakistan, the bowlers took three wickets for 27 runs in four overs. Anyway, congratulations to Pakistan.

Pakistan played very well and strongly in this match too and Victory by a very good margin. Pakistan had victory by playing very well in the beginning and they were successful in this match too. If Pakistan continues to play well and Victory the match, then it can make their chances of victory the World Cup this time. USA batsmen could not work hard and could only score 158 runs due to negligence against Pakistan bowlers and Pakistan target was enough strong due to which they failed in the match. If USA bowling they have taken 9 wickets of Pakistan but could not control the runs and will lose due to being a big target. USA batsmen could have tried harder and not wasted balls, then this margin could have been achieved.

Yeah, In Men's T20  World Cup New Zealand defeated UAE by 10 wickets. UAE opens inning first with Muhammad Waseem and Aryansh Sharma and among the openers Waseem  gives a good start to the team by scoring 66 runs but Sharma losses his wicket early on 8 runs and in middle order Alishan Sharafu played a well knock of 55 runs and also Mayank Kumar played a well innings of 21 runs and at the end of the innings UAE set a strong target of 174 runs.

New Zealand opens inning with Tim Siefert and Finn Allen and both the openers give a very positive start to the team and Finn Allen Allen played a well knock of 84 runs and also Siefert  played a memorable inning of 89 runs and both the openers lonely chase the target successfully and New Zealand won the game

A total of 6 matches have been played so far, and incidentally the closest match was the one between Nepal and England (which the former lost by 4 runs). The Netherlands vs Pakistan match was also extremely close (the latter won by a whisker after requiring 38 runs to win from the last 2 overs). Today also we have three matches, but the most important one will be between Pakistan and the United States of America. Remember that USA won the duel between these two during the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2024 (they win during the super-over, after the two teams were tied after regular time).

That was an amazing match. I was watching this match. They tried really well to chase that target but unfortunately they lost the match by 4 runs. I was really sad for them when they lost this match very closely. They improved really well in these few years and they have shown that they can easily compete with the top teams. They really improved. I hope Nepal will join Super Eight round.

If England could have scored 184 runs Nepal could have scored as well.There is no doubt that Nepal effort was great.If they could not win it would not have mattered.Yes Nepal can prepare for the upcoming match by correcting their weaknesses.Two great England batsmen completed their half centuries the rest of the batsmen also tried well and strengthened their cause.The special thing about England was that they did not lose wickets quickly after the first wicket fell but Nepal batsmen also made a very strong partnership and lost that match by only 4 runs.If you look at it the match was going to be equal if they had been a little faster.

The match between New Zealand and United Arab Emirates has started and United Arab Emirates has won the toss and decided to bat.
And so far, their batting performance, I think they are doing well, 82 runs after 11 overs, and that too losing only 1 wicket. I would definitely call it a good performance as their strength. Because we all know that against of United Arab Emirates the New Zealand is one kind of giant team
Anyway people can say that it is the batting friendly pitch but still I will say that United Arab Emirates doing good agaisnt the New Zealand team, they are going to insure that this match will going to be that much one sided as many of us thinking.

Very shocking performance by New Zealand team. They run chased of 175 with losing any wicket. Mind blowing batting, brilliant inning they played. A very big partnership they built in T20 format and make record. Finn Allen and siefert altogether played outstanding inning, Finn Allen scored 84 runs in 50 balls in which included 5 sixes and 5 fours. And Tim siefert scored 89 runs in 42 balls in which included 12 fours and 3 sixes. They created a history. If we talk about UAE team then there was very very poor bowling they showed no one could take any wicket. Almost all bowlers bowled with 12 plus strike rate, especially Muhammad Rohid he gave much more runs, he gave 51 runs in 3.2 overs and did not take any wicket. They should point out their weak points and work on it. It was not considered a good thing in cricket, it has a bad impact. So they need to  improvement in his team.

Pakistan took revenge from United States. United States defeated Pakistan in super over of 2024 World Cup and today Pakistan defeated united State in their second match by onesided. The man of the match is Sahibzada Farhan for his impressive batting performance scoring fifty and his effort reached Pakistan team total to 190 runs. While chasing down a huge total United States only managed to score 158 runs in a loss of 8 wickets and lost the match. Pakistan now moved to top position on point table with 4 points while United States moved to bottom position on point table because they lose back to back two matches. Pakistan next big match of world cup is against Indian team in Colombo and i hope Pakistan will win this match

That was easy win for New Zealand team and they beated opponent by big margin 10 wickets and 28 balls remaining. In this 11 th game, UAE team won toss and they selected batting first and gave fielding lineup to UAE team. UAE batsman performed so good and set 173 runs target in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets but New Zealand batsmen is more good and strong than UAE batsman. New Zealand team chased down target in only 15.2 overs and did not lose any wicket. Opener batsmen Finn and Tim showed brilliant batting lineup and both helped team to win game and Tim scored 89 runs in 42 balls and hitted twelve 4s and three 6s. Finn scored 84 runs in 50 balls and hitted five 4s and five 6s. In Group D, NZ team rank is 1 st and they won both games and have 4 points.

Yes Pakistan beat USA by a large score of 32 runs, and in act they got back at their Super Over loss in 2024 and the Group A table. Star of game was Sahibzada Farhan who was Player of the Match with 73 off 41 balls reaching his 1,000th T20I run in act and gave Pakistan total of 190/9.
Victory has given Pakistan huge push towards big battle with India on Sunday. This one sided game, in my view, shows Pakistan spin strength on slow fields in Colombo, and should Farhan and Babar Azam with 46 runs continue same play at R. Premadasa Stadium, they have good chance of changing past 7-1 lead of India in T20 world cup.

Given their strong performance against India, I was expecting a closer match. But US bowlers conceded too many runs for them to have a chance in this match. Saurabh Netravalkar looked OK in his initial spell, but he went wayward in his final overs. Apart from Shadley van Schalkwyk and Mohammad Mohsin, most of the bowlers leaked runs at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Shadley was exceptional once again, picking up 4 wickets for just 25 runs from his full quota of overs (now he has 8 wickets from 2 matches). When they came to bat, poor form persisted with Andries Gous and Sanjay Krishnamurthi. Shayan Jahangir and Shubham Ranjane tried their best, but as mentioned previously the target was already out of their reach.

Althoughh Shadley van Schalkwyk took four back to back wickets, the US bowlers were beaten by huge 190 / 9 during late night collapse.
I would say that US right now is having problems of the Big Stage tiredness and they lacked mental skill to hurt perfect Pakistan that was set on getting payback against US after loss in 2024.
It was found out that though players such as Shubham Ranjane and Shayan Jahangir put up good fights. By the way I was also thinking that this match would be very close due to looking at their bowling in the previous match.

Their problems arise because two of their biggest stars are not performing. Andries Gous was expected to become their mainstay for batting in this tournament. But he hasn't scored too many runs. Same with Sanjay Krishnamurthi as well. Ali Khan was forced to pull out of the tournament because of an injury that he sustained during the first match against India. And the other main bowler, Saurabh Netravalkar has been leaking too many runs. Hopefully they can get their act together in the remaining matches. They have two more matches remaining, and both of them are against weak teams.

Saim Ayub was hitting good early and then when he gets out at the last over of power play, Salman Ali Agha comes and also out in the same over of the last over that the bowler bowled him on leg side and clever movements of foot by Salman Ali Agha.

He played it only the leg side and really flat and smooth but there was fielder and great catch by him then Babar Azam and Farhan with strike rotation, running between the wickets and as the game progress Babar Azam got settle on the pitch. Later on, he went on to make 46 valuable runs.

South Africa has given a good target to Afghanistan. I'm pretty much optimistic about the victory of SA in the match. The odds is around 1.32× for South Africa now. Afghanistan won't have any opportunities to qualify for the super 8 if they lose the match against South Africa today. So, there will be some pressure on SA bowlers. If SA beat Afghanistan, then NZ and SA will surely qualify for the super 8 from this group.

Yes, today's match is very important for Afghanistan, if they lose, they will definitely be out of the tournament. In this match, South Africa scored 187 runs which is a very good target. Afghanistan's bowling line was not good enough, they should have tried to do better, they are not doing as well as expected. Anyway, Afghanistan's batsmen started well, they did well till 4 overs but they lost 2 wickets in the 5th over and 1 wicket in the 6th over due to which they are under pressure. So far, Afghanistan has scored 56 runs in 6 overs losing 3 wickets. I think if South Africa's bowlers can do a little better, South Africa will win. On the other hand, if Afghanistan wants to win, their batsmen will have to do well. Let's see which team can win.

[JSRAW]

First super over and nail biting stuff but very poor cricket and bad game awareness from both sides.

Omarzai and Nabi threw away their wickets when they were in control. Casual running between the wicket from number 11, throw was bad but faroogi still fail to cross the line.

Idk what rabada was doing, he should have finished the match.

[Mahdirakib]

Idk what rabada was doing, he should have finished the match.

Rabada did all the things so that Afghanistan could win the match. 13 runs were needed in the last over, where Afghanistan had only 1 wicket left. So, there was huge pressure on Afghanistan. But Rabada has made it easy for Afghanistan by giving two no balls and a wide . Afghanistan is unlucky that they have to take the match in super over. The first super over has been tied. Now there will be another one. What an interesting match it is!

Afghanistan, however, has been performing very well recently, where they have been able to achieve against the West Indies and moreover, they have won most of the warm-up matches they have played so far for the World Cup.
And in that context, the Afghanistan team is currently one of the fairly moderately strong teams in the World Cup. And on this based they did an incredible performance against the South African team, even they lose this match I would say that this is only becuase of their luck.

After his injury Rabada is off radar in white ball cricket and hardly threatens the opponent but dude should still finished the job against number 10 and 11. Noor is proper tailender and his career average is in single digit with poor SR.

Having said that, afghanistan lost because of poor running between the wickets. Didn't understand why they didn't try to take doubles even in super over, it was like were trying not to get run just to save their average ( ik they were not thinking this but too many rookie mistakes in running).

[Haunebu]

Wow! I did not really watch the South Africa-Afghanistan until the end and it was insane seeing 2 super overs which happens once in a blue moon since super overs by themselves are rare to begin with. Afghanistan messed up such a golden opportunity.

Why the heck did they send Nabi before Gurbaz in the final over? South Africa barely survived this one and it looks like their chances of winning the trophy just dropped.
