T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Oman team could not do a good bowling performance due to which Ireland team got a chance to score 235 runs in this match. However, if Oman team can control the wicket and perform aggressive batting performance then they will be close to winning this game. But as time goes by Oman team is facing danger, they are wasting a lot of balls and they need to learn to bat for a long time by being patient and calm. Aamir Kaleem and Hammad mirza these two batsmen are playing an important role, if they can perform aggressively in batting properly then Oman team players will be able to create a chance to win.

if Oman team can control the wicket and perform aggressive batting performance then they will be close to winning this game.

Yeah, I am expecting some big surprises from Oman to chase down this 235 target but they keep losing wickets at regular interval which may be the real break for not achieving that big target. Yesterday first two games give the best entertainment to fans with Zimbabwe shocked mighty Australia then UAE have amazing win against Canada and then USA managed good game against big teams so far, humiliated Netherlands and got big won, then why not another shocker for today?

I have open bet today for New Zealand vs South Africa game, in my opinion big teams' matches are predictable than associate's matches.

Scotland vs England is the match that will be played today. Scotland is already in the second position in the points table. Scotland has lost one of the two matches and won one, while England has won one of the two matches. However, today's match will depend on the position of the two teams. If England can win, they will move up. Although England is quite strong compared to Scotland in this match and if they play strongly, they will be able to win. England has already chosen to bowl to follow a target and Scotland is batting at the moment, but they have already lost one of their important wickets in the power play, which has put them under pressure. They will definitely be under pressure due to the fall of their wickets at the beginning. However, this match against England will be difficult for them, England will have a higher chance of winning.

Match study of Oman vs. Ireland game on Sinhalese Sports Club shows that although Oman had right fast goal, they simply could not handle huge scoreboard pressure of record breaking 236 runs goal.
I think Oman got messed up during middle overs with planning panic. They had started chase with fire and got to 63 runs in early game, but once Aamir Kaleem 50 runs and Hammad Mirza 46 were out, they lost their calm which cost them last 7 wickets for only 42 runs in total.
This loss (1-96) has been confirmed by data to mean that Oman is now officially out of 2026 World Cup and Ireland is still in race for Super 8 place after their best hitting ever.

Scotland and England face each other in the 23rd match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup today, where Scotland were bowled out for 152 after batting first. The target of 152 runs in this World Cup is not a difficult total and England will meet this total very easily.

However, England were put under pressure early on when their first wicket fell for 2 runs and their second wicket fell for 13 runs. However, England's Jacob Bethell and Tom Benton formed a good partnership and were able to bring England out of that pressure. Now they need to score 74 runs in 9.3 overs, which will not be a difficult situation for England as they still have 7 wickets in hand.

First I'd like to see one radical change in funding criteria, no funding based on test format and if you want to play test cricket then fund yourself, there is no need to subsidize if it's loss making affair for you, make your test bilaterals profitable if you want to play and if it's too radical approach then fix some percentage of ICC revenue to 20-30% for test cricket.

After that all the icc revenue should be shared by everyone one equally but for only white ball cricket ( strictly focus on white ball). Fund the top 50 teams including associates. If this happens then in white ball, cricket will become truly global.

PS: I bet this proposal won't get a single vote from full test nations Lol

Funding should be based on performance and nothing else. And only performance in the ICC tournaments should be considered (T20, ODI and Test world cups for both men and women). Australian won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, and India were the runners up. India won the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup, and Proteas came second. The ICC World Test Championship for 2023-25 was won by South Africa. So obviously these teams should get the maximum funding. On the other hand, there is no justification in providing 3% of all the ICC funds to teams like Zimbabwe, when Nepal receives only around 0.05%.

I was shit posting though...

Yeh sab khyali palav hai and nothing is going to happen no matter what. Their test fantasy go above everything and they sold this churan to every tom-dick-harry ( including me).

If performance becomes criteria then half of the test nations will lose their funding including poms. Only SA, aus, ind and NZ will top the chart.

English team lost 2 early wickets and that raised hope of Scotland victory, which would be second upset of this tournament. Thanks to Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton partnership that brought English back in the game. Scotland got two breakthrough in 9th and 10th over, which once again raised chances of Scotland victory but Scottish bowlers were not able to pick wicket of Tom Banton and he remained not out on 63 runs. Scotland team lost the game but they displayed good skills in bowling.

In this World Cup, two of the strongest countries in Group F, New Zealand and South Africa, are playing their third match for both of them. Before this, they have played two matches each and have won both matches and earned four points each. The team that wins today's match will reach the top of Group D.
South Africa has won the toss and decided to bowl. Shaktimaan considers that both the teams are capable of winning. But considering the recent performance, I will give South Africa the lead. The game has already started and New Zealand batsman Tim Seifert has opened the scorebook with a boundary on the first ball.
It seems that the game is going to be a close contest. Let's see which team can win today's match.

Scotland was never really in contention. England had the upper hand always. Had Scotland managed to score a total of around 180-190, then they might have had a chance in this match (they were 90/2 after 10 overs). But when it mattered the most, they lost wickets and could manage only around 150. That total was never going to be enough, especially against a pig-3 team in the sub-continent. The tournament is more or less over for Scotland, and they have one match against Nepal remaining. Still they should be happy that they managed to win against Italy and gave decent performances against West Indies and England.

[Crypto Library]

One of the hot match has already started. The match between New Zealand and South Africa has started and the New Zealand team is starting well. Even though they lost their first wicket, I find it interesting that they scored 46 runs in 4.4 overs.
And if they can continue like this, I think New Zealand can easily give a target of over 200 today.
I am actually optimistic about New Zealand, but now that the first power play is over, we will really understand their batting performance or score.

But I feel like, despite easy win for England, they had never been looking consistent as they lost against West indies gave them big setback while now their morale is also down even their chances are high for top 8, but things are not on track, batting is going to be a problem for them in big games.

Scotland got a good start but sadly in death overs, lost their momentum and things gone against them and because of this, managed only 150 runs, once I was expecting after Ireland, today Scotland is also going to have another 200+ runs, Adil Rasheed and Liam Dawson both made good comeback, now New Zealand on good start of their game against South Africa, this game is also going to be interesting as both have good chance of winning world cup this time.

In the match between England and Scotland, Scotland were batting first and I think they were playing so well that they scored about 100 at the end of the 10th over and batting in the loss of three wickets, very good mindset of batting they were not taking the pressure and at least not looking for big shots when there is no need for those things.
They preferred to run between the wickets, which is a really great for a small team like them and the beauty of the T20i format where we see multiple ups and downs and each game is full of suspense, but they lost this match.

South Africa did not play well against Afghanistan in the last match. They were very lucky that they were able to win till the end. It is difficult to predict what they will do in today's match.



South Africa won the toss and decided to field. And they are bowling quite well. New Zealand managed to collect 71 runs in 7 overs. The run rate is quite good. But they have already lost four wickets. All four batsmen of the top order have returned to the dressing room. Except Finn Allen, no one else could bat well. Allen played an innings of 31 runs off 17 balls. Chapman and Daryl Mitchell are now at the crease. Apart from that, Sartner and Neesham are also capable of batting well. If these four batsmen can play well, New Zealand still has the possibility of giving a big target.

[Webetcoins]

Two best teams in World Cup having blitzing start of this game, first New Zealand done good charge but Proteas fights back through Marco Jansen, he is gemmed for them in all formats what a bowler amazing quality and skills three wickets in power play always a big thing.



After end of power play, Keshav Maharaj got the fourth wicket which break backbone of New Zealand at the end of 7 overs now 77 for 4, but match momentum is already changed from New Zealand to South Africa. It's going to be interesting end of this game, both will fight till last ball bowled. Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchel now on crease and trying to have good target for their bowlers to defend.

This time the match is making enough a reverse result. This match was ready to go in their favor easily, but the way they are batting, I don't think they will succeed in this way. Compared to New Zealand, South Africa is making their bowling quite good and strong, due to which the New Zealand batsmen are not scoring many runs carelessly. South African bowlers are also controlling the runs and are also getting their wickets so that the target is becoming enough easy for them which will make their victory easy. New Zealand batsmen have scored 65 runs in 7 overs so far and if the South African bowlers try a little harder, New Zealand will become very poor and defeat will come very easily for them, so New Zealand will have to play strong, so they will have to play with good effort.

This one we have seen with many of the associate teams in this tournament. They usually get good start in the match against full members. But mid-way they lose the momentum and settle for a "decent loss". Unfortunately decent losses are not going to get them anything. If they want more funds from the ICC and more sponsorship deals, then they need to start winning these matches. A majority of the group phase matches are by now complete and we are still waiting for a real upset (i.e associate teams defeating any of the full member teams).

The way the New Zealand team is increasing the score, I will not say that the South African team has performed quite well bowling because if we talk about that time, 71 runs in 7 overs were huge runs but their plus point is that they took 4 wickets on that time and as well in the last time right now they took their seven wickets which will could stop the New Zealand team from scoring beyond the 200 run. This is where their chances of winning will really start to falter because I think South Africa has a chance of winning even if they score 170 to 180 runs.

Despite the top order not playing well, Chapman, Mitchell and Neesham's responsible batting allowed New Zealand to post 175 for 7 wickets. This is definitely a good total. Chapman scored the highest 48 runs. Daryl Mitchell and Finn Allen scored 32 and 31 runs respectively.
There is no point in saying that the target is too big. South Africa has a high chance of winning this target. Their batting order is also strong. But if New Zealand's bowlers can bowl in a controlled manner from the start of the innings, then they have a chance of winning. 175 runs is enough to fight for.

[Haunebu]

Ireland decimated Oman like they were nothing at all while England stuttered a bit when chasing a modest total against Scotland. New Zealand vs South Africa looks like it will end up in the Proteas favor since Kiwi bowling has been pretty crap lately.

Out of all the teams, West Indies is the one that impressed me the most since they are performing well in all departments. India is the next best one in my opinion.

[BTC FutureKing]

Oman team could not do a good bowling performance due to which Ireland team got a chance to score 235 runs in this match. However, if Oman team can control the wicket and perform aggressive batting performance then they will be close to winning this game. But as time goes by Oman team is facing danger, they are wasting a lot of balls and they need to learn to bat for a long time by being patient and calm. Aamir Kaleem and Hammad mirza these two batsmen are playing an important role, if they can perform aggressively in batting properly then Oman team players will be able to create a chance to win.

The Ireland team has won the match and secured its place on the points table but Oman has not won any match yet and is at the bottom of the points table.In the T20 World Cup Ireland has scored the highest score on which they were bowling against Oman with confidence.Ireland is performing very well.Lorcan Tucker took the entire match into his own hands and made the aim very strong.I thought it would be difficult to Australia lose to Zimbabwe but Zimbabwe gave Australia a crushing reply.The 2026 World Cup is to interesting.All the fans are watching the matches with enjoyment and all the teams are trying their best.Now tomorrow match is very important for winning because Pakistan and India will play against each other.Let see which team will win.I will put Pakistan ahead of India.
