T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Tilak Verma is watching from other side, things are clearly looking 200+ is target for Team India on this match which could be match winning total because Pakistani batting lineup is always not having good balance for big total especially when they are on chase. Colombo pitch is also always helpful for spinners, this is not favouring Pakistani bowlers, can Usman Tariq can make any difference? It's going to be interesting.

Not sure whether India will reach 200. Ever since Ishan Kishan got out, the scoring  rate has nosedived. At the moment they are at 125/2 after 14 overs, with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma. Both of them are struggling to score runs. For Pakistan, the spinners have done a decent job. Mohammad Nawaz and Usman Tariq are bowling in tandem right now, and these two have a combined 3 overs remaining. That means that the Pakistani skipper only need to worry about the other three overs. For that he may need to call back Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has bowled just 1 over till now.

Ishan Kishan went into his dynamite mode and took the scores even when there is a wicket gone in the very first over. There were some errors in Pakistan bowling choice but so far the match is still in the balance and any team can win this game. Still 8 balls remaining and India will atleast hope to reach 170ish scores that will be a good competitive score and India got all three different spins along with specialist Boom Boom.

Edit: SKY gone too, 159/5 and 7 balls remain in the first innings.

India made a mess towards the end. I thought that they could make 200 today. But in the end, they made just 175. After Ishan Kishan got out, none of the other batsmen looked confident out there. Both Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav wasted too many deliveries. Only Shivam Dube made quick runs towards the end.

At the end of 10 overs, 92 for 2 look like India easily going to have 200 runs on board but in second half of match, Pakistan bowlers done good job and never allowed Indian batsmen to play freely still 175 is going to be match winning runs for India because Pakistan batting is not solid.

Shaheen Afridi conceded 31 runs in 2 overs while Shadab Khan conceded 17 runs, these 48 runs can cost Pakistan this match where others done decent bowling. Saim Ayub is a hero for Pakistan with 3 wickets and 2 catches now he needs to have impact in batting which could be important and if they want to win this match and end their losing streak against Indian in ICC events which is physiological edge for Indian cricket in last few years.

[Nanga Parbat]

You may say that both teams want to win this match more than any other match because of the political tensions between them, as we know first Pakistan was not willing to go to India and then there was a time when they were not having to play the match even but then we are here, the match has started.

Pakistan has won the toss and they have got an early break through when Abhishek Sharma lost his wicket without scoring. He was caught by Shaheen Shah on the bowling of Salman Agha. Game on here buddies  

For this match, the favorites of both sides are watching the match with good interest and enthusiasm. The match between Pakistan and India is becoming enough strong and attractive for us and in this match both will have to play well and strong so that this match becomes enough fun for us. Pakistan chose this match with their bowling which has been enough good their bowler has scored 175 runs and lost 7 wickets which is a very good target if the Pakistan batsmen play carelessly then this target can become very difficult for them. India plays stronger and good than them due to which they can control Pakistan in this match and if that happens then the favorites of Pakistan will be very disappointed. Pakistan played carelessly in the first over itself and lost their first wicket and such a match will fail them in the match.

Scotland International T20 cricket team batting was very bad in the acceleration period and they could not make good score and they made 30 runs short and players should try to stay on wicket but they played bad short and opponent team got opportunity and took catch and adil Rashid played very excellent in the last overs and they restricted opponent team at just 150 runs. Scotland team gave good effort in bowling but after that England team managed the pressure of the match and they won the match in the second last over. England team is very strong team and they need to learn from these teams because these are associated nations but they are fighting well to win matches against big teams and Nepal gave tough Time in first match also .

England won the game but still it was an hard challenge for them, that first early they were struggling when they were bowling and the Scottish batsmen were doing power hitting, good to see them in this form however as the game progressed England got the momentum hardly, in the start of the depth overs when Scottish batters faced a big trouble and the journey of struggle started there for Scotland, somehow at the ending over back to back boundary allowed them to set a good target still not too good for England.

The performance we are seeing in Pakistan's match against India today will soon see Pakistan all out. India has set a target of 175 runs, although it would not have been difficult to meet this target if Pakistan had batted well in the opening innings. But they have lost four wickets in the opening innings, and their performance is very disappointing and under pressure at the moment. For Pakistan to win, they still need to score 142 runs off 90 balls against India, although this run is very difficult to score. We can already see that Pakistan is facing a lot of challenges after losing their wickets, in which case we can ensure that India will win today's match.

Don't get deceived by the scores, because the current venue is assisting spin bowling so even 160 can be a good score that teams with good bowling unit can win it.

And that is what is happening at the moment, India ended Pakistan's hope even before the end of the powerplay, they are in a serious crisis already with 4 wickets inside the powerplay, also scoring 40 odd runs. Yet Varun has to bowl. Can they reach 100 first?

Both Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav wasted too many deliveries. Only Shivam Dube made quick runs towards the end.

With the way India's Ishan Kishan started and the aggressive batting, we initially thought that India might set a target of over 200 runs, but that was not possible in reality, especially with Siam Ayub's controlled bowling, as India ended the innings at 175 runs. However, Pakistan is in a complete disarray and has already lost five wickets for 73 runs, meaning that it will not be possible for Pakistan to win today's match because Pakistan's lower order batsmen will fail to meet the target of 175 runs under pressure.

[barbara44]

At the end of 10 overs, 70+ for 4 with all top order gone back, terrible batting from Pakistan after having decent bowling and target to chase while Pakistan pace attack completely failed but Indian pacers take early wickets and gave big setback to Pakistan.

Pakistan cricket is having never been balance into their selection while having few good players always going down against big teams and especially India holding a long term failure while with this defeat now fans are surely going to hurt badly because they are all expecting good performance but here things gone worse. Now Usman Khan and Shadab Khan on crease for having completed this procedure as hopes are already ended, but they can bring some decent reply in this inning which will give them better response in upcoming matches.

[Compromise me]

USA considered to be as one of the best associates, they have good balanced performance even in both early games they lost still showed their depth and potential, they can do much better in near future, today after having bat first they are doing good job and their top order leading from front and posted 199..

Namibia is just like Nepal losing their momentum and have nothing to cheer in this world cup, the worst performance and disastrous end for them. Today USA captain Monank Patel and then Sanjay Krishnamurthi hammered good shots and brought their team on good total while Namibian bowlers completely failed to restrict USA, their main bowlers conceded too many runs chasing 200 runs are not easy for them.

USA won the match easily by high margin and they won the match by 31 runs in this match.United States cricket team played very well in this match and they made a good target in this match and Sanjay Krishnamurthi was a person who did great job in this match and he made 68 runs in this match just playing 33 Balls in this match. Monank Patel was a person who gave good start to his team and he made half century in this match and he played with strike rate of 173 in this match and hit 3 sixes and 3 fours in this match. Sanjay Krishnamurthi hit 6 sixes in this match and was not out in this game which was good point for that team. He played with strike rate of 206 which was wonderful in this match.

As expected, the game is done and dusted... Indian bowlers bundled Pakistan for 114 that shows the difference in quality of both teams yet the media hyped this match and the greatest rivalry, this is the game of this tournament and blah blah,,,,

Pakistan fans will be worried the way their batsmen played, atleast a close fight would have been interesting but it was an one sided match after the second over from Bumrah. India official qualified for super 8s with this win.

The World Cup will be played and there will be no India-Pakistan match as the opponent. This is something that ICC will never want because it is doubtful whether the ICC will be able to earn the same amount of money from all the other matches combined as it will earn from this one match. But the match with so much hype has turned into such a lack of competition that Pakistan has lost by a huge margin today. Many thought that the match would be full of great competition but due to the batting failure of the Pakistani batsmen, the match ended one-sided.

Another LOL performance from Team Pakistan at the ICC event. I don't actually remember the last time Pakistan won a match against India in an ICC event. I expected them to play well at least, so the match would become competitive. However, they failed to create any suspense in this match. The Political heat is still in place. They did not shake hands. Even though Pakistan announced that they would boycott the match against India, they still played the match and changed their decision, which is good actually. I have not watched a single match of this World Cup yet. This is the first match that I was interested in. But I did not watch a single over, just checked the score on websites.

[Haunebu]

Only hard-core fans still fall for the whole India-Pak rivalry these days which has clearly passed its due date a decade ago. I expected some sort of fireworks from Farhan and Abhishek who competed with each other in the duck out department.

Sri Lanka vs Australia should be interesting where I am expecting the Aussies to bounce back. Still backing West Indies to win the trophy this time around.

I was sure that Pakistan would lose against India. India is a very strong team. I have not seen Pakistan do well against India on the World Cup platform in the last few years. India won today's match by dominating.
India could not give a very big target. But Indian bowlers were able to fulfill their responsibility properly. Almost every bowler of India was able to bowl well. The interesting thing is that the total of four batsmen of Pakistan's top order was only 15 runs. Except for Usman Khan and Afridi, no other batsman of Pakistan's squad could play well.

Once again, there was no handshake at the toss, and in the first over, Pakistan had a really good start. Salman Ali Agha with really clever moves he just gave the ball on the good angle which was like very hard or kinda impossible for Abhishek Sharma to have control on it, which makes him pressure because in T20i you can't be relaxed and when there is full stadium and all are cheering you so for sure you try to have better strike rate and have a boundary, tried the same and Saalman has already placed an fielder there Shaheen. An easy catch taken by Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Pakistan giving India good fight in Final of Asia Cup last year but today Pakistan failed to even compete. Enough chances have been given to players like Babar Azam, Shaheen and Shadab but they never performed when its the time. Shaheen and Shadab are in team just because of lobby of there father-in-laws i.e. Shahid Afridi and Saqlain Mushtaq respectively. If PCB want to improve performance of Pakistan cricket team then they need to replace the old players that are not performing. Indian team proved once again that they are well ahead of Pakistan team in every department of the game.

At the end, when Faheem was out, the Pakistan team understood that nothing had happened and it was again a defeat and nothing else. Due to early dismissals and bad decisions, Pakistan lost the game, and since the T20 format started, Pakistan beat India just a single time in 2021 under Babar Azam's captaincy, and then it never happened again.

In the end stages of the game, we have seen that Shaheen was practicing for his batting in the nets, he forgot or had been overconfident about his bowling. So just trying to hit boundaries and six, while the Indian players were also relaxing, Shaheen was practicing and the Indian fielders were relaxing because the match was totally in the Indian hands.

South Africa team performed well in today's match against New Zealand and they won. Although New Zealand team tried hard enough to put South Africa under pressure but they could not succeed rather South Africa team scored runs very quickly and won. In this match South Africa team won by a huge margin of 7 wickets they really did a very good batting performance in the power play. Aiden Markram is a great captain and he opened the batting and brought the team victory and remained unbeaten with 86 runs. South Africa has won each of the three matches so far which is why they are at the top of the points table in Group D, South Africa team seems to be the strongest in this group at present. New Zealand and South Africa are two strong teams and South Africa have defeated New Zealand in today's match and raised their position in South Africa.

This match was between South Africa and New Zealand, which shows that the New Zealand openers could not help their team in the loss of wickets because their batting had deteriorated a little, but it is not that they did not show interest. Mark Chapman scored 48 runs for his team's score and in comparison, Finn Allen scored 31. Apart from him, the performance of the rest of the players was not good. At the end, South Africa needed 6 runs in 20 balls, which they managed to make. In this match, Mark Chapman from the New Zealand team hit 6 fours and he should have hit six sixes so that their score could be higher. New Zealand's Marco Jansen player gave away a full 40 runs and the South African team completed its target before 17 balls and won the match.
