T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Mahiyammahi]

England team has shown a very poor performance in today's match because today, instead of trying to make their team win, some players from their team got out after scoring very few scores, which was the reason for their defeat. The West Indies bowlers destroyed the England team with their great bowling. Today's defeat has put a damper on their next matches. From the England team, A Arshad has shown a very poor performance, who got out for 0 runs. This proved that the West Indies players bowled well and won today's match with their good batting.And won the match by 30 runs

It was never an easy match to chase down 196 runs. West Indies batter's are really good , they are always scoring big. But the problem was with their bowler. Ig their lack of Bowling side getting filled by their batter's. I would say Englands Bad luck today , they we're so unfortunate to lose this 15Th T20 match.

All wicket is not acceptable, hence England got all out. Rutherford played classical match today. A one man army for West Indies

And the WC is about to start, let's pick the semi-finalist and see who can find accurately.


1. India
2. AUS
3. Eng
4. SA

Not invested much in this t-20 wc but this list sounds about right.

Update on this list

Just checked the pre seeding grouping and now it's very clear that these are not our 4 potential semi finalists.

Pre seeding group 1 include windies, india, Australia and SA, it's death group and only 2 teams will move into next phase. Group 2 looks relatively easy ( Sl, NZ, pak, eng)

Today, one of the memorable game played between Afghanistan vs South Africa, 2 super overs bowled for result, amazing hitting from both the sides but sadly Afghanistan now out of the World Cup due to 2 losses against New Zealand and South Africa.

Honestly this was the best match I have ever seen, I don't remember if I have ever seen such an exciting match before. Actually I think Afghanistan's luck was very bad, they came close to winning twice but couldn't win, Afghanistan lost but they fought well. Afghanistan were all out with 2 balls to spare, in the end they had to play two super overs to decide the result. In the 1st super over I thought Afghanistan would win but South African players hit a six on the last ball and the 1st super over was tied. We can say here that nothing is certain till the last ball. I don't think we will see such an exciting match again in this tournament. Those who watched this match enjoyed it. Afghanistan's luck is bad, we can say that Afghanistan is out of the tournament. South Africa and New Zealand will qualify from Group D.

Afghanistan International cricket team played very brilliant in the last match but they could not win this match due to bad luck . Gurbaz performance was excellent in this match because he played with strike rate of 200 in this match and he also played well in the super over and hit 3 sixes in the super over and made match interesting . We saw 2 super overs in this match and first super over was tied due to last six of Stubbs . Now Afghanistan is almost out of the tournament because they lose 2 matches of the tournament. Afghanistan team did excellent job but Miller also hit 2 sixes in the super over and they gave target of 24 runs in this match. Stubb's hit first six of second super over. South Africa team is ready to qualify for that second round been they are looking in good form.

I would like to agree with your opinion, and also I will say that the Afghanistani team is like the equal strength like Pakistani team, Sri Lankan team, West Indies team, and even I will say that Afghanistani team has the ability to defeat these team, and after this match it has been quite confirmation. But unfortunately for their bad luck maybe they wouldn't be able to qualify to the next round.

Anyway, after the Sri Lankan team easy win we might going to see a Competitive performance between the Nepal and Italy team but I am expecting win for the Nepal team here. And the third match of today we all know who will be the winner it is India against the Namibian team

Nepal team who played so well in their last game against England, lost to Italy by a margin of 10 wickets. I was expecting that Nepal will win this game quite easily because of there past performance in International cricket but Italy created history by winning their first ever game of T20 world cup. Nepal team batting was not good today and the whole team scored just 123 runs before getting out in 19.3 overs. Crishan Kalugamage picked 3 wickets and was also man of the match. The two brothers who opened batting for Italy stayed on the pitch till the victory.

[Haunebu]

Sri Lanka defeated Oman very, very convincingly which was expected while Italy blowing away Nepal was unexpected especially after they almost defeated England recently. The Mosca brothers absolutely decimated the Nepal bowlers through brute strength.

India vs Namibia should be a straightforward affair though it sucks to hear that Abhishek is injured while Bumrah should be back.

ICC T20 World cup now having surprises, yesterday West Indies upset England in their style and have won by 30 runs which brought them to the top of Group C where most chances now they will keep their spot till end of group stage matches.

Today Sri Lanka got a thumping win against Oman still their real challenge is on 16th February at Pallekele against Australia, this could be interesting game even Aussies are hot favourite and have better chance.

Today another upset Italy have their first win in World Cup and this was big one for them by 10 wickets against Nepal, Pizza crush Mamos by huge margin and this must be a shocking result from Nepal after having amazing fight against England in first match now in few minutes India is going to bat first against Namibia.

[vivekdhyani1]

Italy won by 10 wkts.This is the first 10-wicket win for Italy and the second 10-wicket defeat for Nepal (after vs WI in 2025) in T20Is.one washout in this group & it will be very intersting if England qualify to next round or not

10-wicket win for an associate team in T20 WCs
Oman vs PNG, Al Amerat, 2021
ITA vs NEP, Wankhede, 2026

To be honest, I was just amazed about the performance from the Italian Batting lineup, even though it would be an injustice to bowlers if I just named them here only about the batting because their bowling linup also did good at the beginning. And in the end, the Italian team proved my prediction wrong.
In fact, just as the Italian bowlers did well in this match, their batsmen did well on the other hand. Seeing the performance of the Italian team, I have to change my previous comment and say that the Nepal team is currently weaker than Italy.

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.

The game went so close and South Africa gains two points while if we talk about Afghanistan, the tournament is being very hard on them. Now they are struggling that they lost couple of games together.

They are almost out of this World Cup, their two more game left and even if they are able to win them but the problem starts when you see point table. If Afghanistan win their next games with good run rate, they max get four points and already South Africa and New Zealand have 4 points each so it is very tough. Sound pretty much impossible.

[tbterryboy]

Today against Namibia India have blitzing start, I was expecting we are going to watch first 300 runs in this big mega event but sadly Sanju Samson always doing things which creates questions about his selection got out early. Ishan Kishan setting new standards in T20 batting have got out on 61 runs in 24 balls.

After this pair now runs flow is slowed down which mean only 250+ is looking possible at the end of 10 overs 120 for 2 SKY and Tilak Verma on crease no safe way for Namibia in this game It's going to be big score game for India.

Edit: SKY gone on 10.1 ball now Hardick Pandya on crease still 250 possible?

Highest powerplay totals in the men's T20 World Cups:
92 for 1 - West Indies vs AFG, 2024
91 for 1 - Netherlands vs IRE, 2014
89 for 3 - England vs SA, 2016
86 for 1 - India vs Namibia, in today's match.

84 runs by Rahmanullah Gurbaz has seen Afghanistan fail to score two out of last three balls of normal time and later lose in second Super Over has left team at third place of Group D with no point.
This to me is saddest exit of contest so far since in fact Afghanistan did better than Proteas most of match but were hurt by nerves at most key times.

Ewen when they manage to score four points by winning rest of the matches against the UAE and Canada, they need to have a two-part miracle, meaning that New Zealand and South Africa must win none of their remaining games and run rates. In reality, next match between New Zealand and South Africa in February 14 is probably going to decide it, as in Group of Death, there is no time to lose or miss single planned move.

Italy International cricket team played very excellent in this match and they made this match one sided because they all out opponent team at just 123 runs. Justin Mosca was a person who made half century in this match and he played 44 balls in this match and hit long sixes in this match. Anthony Mosca was a person who made 62 runs in this match and he played only 32 balls in this match. He played with strike rate of 193 in this match and he hit 6 sixes and 3 fours in this match.  Kalugamage was a prominent player in this match because he took 3 wickets in this match and gave less runs in this match. Manenti took 2 wickets in this match and he gave good start to his team.

ICC T20 World cup now having surprises, yesterday West Indies upset England in their style and have won by 30 runs which brought them to the top of Group C where most chances now they will keep their spot till end of group stage matches.

It was a very important game for both of the teams if you analyze the importance from the point table, where West Indies and England both have a couple of points. Winning a single game, of course, they were trying to win this game and remain in the first position or get the first position.

In the second last over, West Indies won this game in such a great style, wonderful and smart bowling by Joseph and West Indies got all the 10 wickets. Adil Rashid played the ball on to the leg side, and the fielder caught it. It was later checked by the Third Umpire, but the decision remains the same, as it was out.

I considered Nepal as the favorite in this match. But I never imagined that the team would face such a humiliating defeat. Nepal played very badly today.
They gave a target of only 124 runs. There is no reason to think that the Italian squad is very strong. Nepal's players have bowled badly as well as batted badly. Italy reached the target of victory in 12.4 overs. Nepal's bowlers could not take a single wicket. I would say this is their biggest failure.

Not only just you, but me also.
Even if we look behind the performance of the Nepal team then we will find them in a commendable position. Like if we notice at their previous match they just lose that match against the England team for only 4 runs and as well we also saw that the Nepal team defeat the West Indies team a few month ago in the t20I series. So from these context I think most of the people thought that in this match the nepal team will gonna with agaisnt the Itally team.
But the reality was the opposite, their batting lineup was fully irresponsible today and as well if we say something about their bowling performance then we also have to say that they did a bad performance today. Anyway, currently the match between the India and Namibia team is running we all know what will be result but the Namibian batters are trying from their position their score is 24 after 3.2 over without losing any wickets.

This is probably the first time I have seen the Italy team and the way they played really impressed me. Although we cannot see the full batting of Italy team but Anthony Mosca and Justin Mosca were playing like the most experienced players. They both remain not out, scored around the  60 runs and won the game for their team.

They lost the match against Scotland but this was a very well deserved win and i never thought that they will play that good against Nepal. I would been keen to see how they perform in their upcoming matches.

Today, one of the memorable game played between Afghanistan vs South Africa, 2 super overs bowled for result, amazing hitting from both the sides but sadly Afghanistan now out of the World Cup due to 2 losses against New Zealand and South Africa.

Now England facing West Indies, this game is also going to be the best game for fans, currently after losing early wickets West Indian batsmen doing their best for fight back, Sherfane Rutherford and Rovman Powell scored 50 runs on 27 balls which brings West Indies into match, at the end of 14 overs 127 runs. 70 to 80 more runs can make big difference and West Indies can challenge England for win and having top slot in Group C.

By playing first South Africa team scored 187 in 20 overs. If we look at batting side performance then only two players played well. Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton they played little well as compared to others. But the thing is to be noted that miller and Markram are skilled players they have experienced but both players did not perform well. Miller scored 20 runs in 15 balls it was too slow batting by him. If they played little well then total runs could be 200 plus but they could not do it. On the other hand Afghanistan team tried very well to win the match but tied up. In this team Rehmanullah played outstanding inning the other players played little well not great, especially middle orders players they did not perform and gave back to back wickets. But they tried till end and match tied. After that 1st supper over played and then they again tied the match. Then 2nd supper over played and in this over they could win the match if first 2 balls did not play dot. Anyways both struggled and made the match interesting but congratulations to the winning team.

I myself have not seen the Italian cricket team play cricket before. When I saw the fixture, I assumed that Nepal would win easily against Italy because I had seen some T20 matches of Nepal before that where they performed fairly well. But today when I watched the match of Italy, I saw that the Italian bowlers showed a great bowling performance along with the batsmen. Batting first, Nepal scored 123 runs losing all their wickets in 19.3 overs. While Nepal lost all their wickets to score 123 runs, Italy scored the stipulated 124 runs to win without losing any wickets in 12.4 overs which is a huge victory for Italy. ‌ Anyway, congratulations to the Italy team

Italian team is mainly comprised of Italian citizens who have immigrated to Australia and played cricket there. There are players who have participated in the Big Bash League (BBL). On top of that, there are a few migrant players from South Asia and South Africa. On the other hand, Nepal is a very young squad who performed exceptionally well in their opening match (against England). They lost their first match by a very narrow margin (and that too because they crumbled under pressure towards the end). But today was just not their day, and in the end Italy won the match quite comfortably.
