T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[vivekdhyani1]

Australia could miss out on an Olympic spot if New Zealand advance to the semi-finals.

Under the current ICC T20 rankings scenario, Olympic qualification would be determined regionally in both the men’s and women’s events. India would qualify from Asia, Australia from Oceania, England from Europe, and South Africa from Africa. From the Americas, the berth would go to either the USA or a Caribbean nation, depending on rankings and progression

Pakistan vs Namibia


Pakistan put themselves in good position against Namibia in Match 35 of 2026 T20 world cup. Pakistan scored 199/3 with famous performance of Sahibzada Farhan who made 100 runs with just 58 balls after winning toss and choosing to bat first.
This was huge one because Farhan was second Pakistani to have reached a hundred in T20 world cup in whole history. Pakistan began slowly yet gained speed fast, particularly in 9th over when they had 22 runs although their captain Salman Ali Agha and Shadab Khan had started fast runs to finish game on a good note.
It is must win match that Pakistan needs to stay in contest and though Namibia bowlers were leaving Farhan alone, now they are facing hard target of 200 runs to get unexpected win. And according to current situation Pakistan will win this match easily.

This is incorrect. They would miss out on a spot through direct qualification. They will still participate in a short tournament with other smaller teams to secure a place later on which is most probably what will happen since it's Australia that we are talking about.

That would basically be a long cut while qualifying directly would be a short cut for them. Unexpected stuff either way.

This was one of the most one-sided matches in this tournament. Namibia is regarded as one of the most well organized associate nations, and the cricket board is free of any sort of corruption or nepotism. But the same is not always reflected in their performance. Namibia finished their campaign without a single win, similar to the case with Oman and Canada. But it should sting more for Namibia, because in their group they had two other associate nations. At least they could have won a match against them. Today they decided to give opportunities to some of the players who were not considered for selection in the previous matches, such as Jack Brassell and Alexander Busing-Volschenk. Brassell ended with the wickets of Salman Agha and Saim Ayub.

Think there is no qualification process and it's same as Vivekdhayani mentioned.Lot will depend on Kiwis and if they want direct entry, simply qualify for the semis.

Lots of deadrubbers for next 2-3 days, feels too early but it was bound to happen.

So today Pakistan will face Namibia and I am sure that Pakistan will this match and we know if Pakistan will win this match so they will officially qualify for the next round which is Super 8. Super 8 round will start on 21st February and first match Pakistan will play with New Zealand team. I hope Pakistan will improve their bowling and batting and try to qualify for the semi finals round.

Saim Ayub was playing so good and being so lucky, that the keeper drop his catch almost couple of times and hitting boundaries but the problem rises when he played the wide ball for no reason, he played in a way that does not make sense that let's say even if ball touched to bat middle, it might be top edge and the bowler could pick it up, however it was slightly edge of the bat and keeper did not miss chance this time, quick movements and direct catch.

After having massive win against associate team Namibia, now Pakistan secured their spot in Super 8 still many questions to be answered from them in upcoming games against big teams because their overall depth as a team is not good enough, they are having no rhythm which is a mandatory requirement to beat big teams.

Batsmen failed to score big runs today they needed to be having 220+ runs but in last few overs, they were not near on good for having big total now India and South Africa change the standard of batting team. Pakistan must need to be having good start with blitzing end which can secure their spots and also need to be having good strategies for playing eleven and on tackling opponents to continue their winning streak.

At this time, India is playing the strongest and good is succeeding. If India continues to play like this and does not make any negligence, they will easily become champions. But I think the Netherlands is playing very well and controlling India because the Indian batsmen never score runs slowly, but they have scored 60 runs in 8 overs so far and if the bowlers are a little tougher, then they can hope for victory. India still has a chance to play strong which will create problems for the Netherlands and maintain their success. The interest in this match is also that the Netherlands is not allowing India to become too strong to some extent. If they continue to play like this, they can work hard in their batting and achieve the target. If the target is not too strong, the Netherlands should not waste this opportunity and defeat India.

[Bitcoin_people]

India is playing their last match against Netherlands today and they scored 193 runs batting first innings. India has already qualified for the T20 World Cup and Netherlands team has been eliminated, although this match is not very important for India. But we can ensure that India will win this match against Netherlands today as well, India is a strong team in this World Cup and they have the potential to win the trophy. In today's match, Netherlands team will fail to meet the target given by India because India has a good bowling performance. India team can easily beat Netherlands team, and if Netherlands team's performance is good then they can win but this match is not very important for India so they will not take so much pressure.

This was probably the most boring match of this World Cup. It was an easy prediction that Pakistan would win the match. But Pakistan won by a huge margin of 102 runs.
Pakistan managed to score a huge 199 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets. Sahibzada Farhan remained unbeaten on 100 runs off 58 balls. Pakistani bowlers also did very well in this match. Namibia could not even score 100 runs. They lost all their wickets after scoring just 97 runs. Usman took 4 wickets and Shadab took 3 wickets.

Smaller nations are playing better circket in these days which is good for the game itself. Today we had seen some extraordinary catches from the Netherlands and also they restricted India when everyone thought India will be unstoppable in their batting.

One more failure from ABishek, he can't keep repeating because all it takes one bad day for the team to lose the tournament like what happened in 2023 after total domination in every game.

The third game for today is in progress between India vs Netherlands, and we all know what the results will be because the Indian team always plays in discipline and unity, which makes them champions and a one-in-a-billion team.  
 
India surely looks to reach the Super 8 stage with a winning record, and then their next target will be the semi-final, and then the World Cup trophy. Being unbeaten so far and hopefully will continue their streak till the final. Today they made 193 runs, and that is more than enough against a weaker opponent, the Netherlands.

One more failure from ABishek, he can't keep repeating because all it takes one bad day for the team to lose the tournament like what happened in 2023 after total domination in every game.

As a small team, the Netherlands bowled extensively for the first 15 overs and were able to put the Indian batsmen under a fair amount of pressure.
Initially, they managed to get Abhishek Sharma out for zero in the first over, but towards the end, the Netherlands bowlers started to fail under the aggressive batting of Shivam Dube. They scored 193 runs based on a brilliant 66 runs off 31 balls. Although a few batsmen, including Abhishek Sharma, failed, India set a pressure-free target in the end with the batting of Shivam Dube and Pandya.

Abhishek Sharma's performance was excellent in every T20 series before the start of the T20 World Cup. He had also played a significant role for India in the last Asia Cup. Everyone was considering Abhishek Sharma as the game changer for India in this world cup. But it is surprising that he couldn't score a single run by playing 3 matches in this world cup. I'm wondering what's wrong with him.

I also agreed with that Netherland team did good performance beyond our expectation even if you point out here they are bowling performance I would also like to say about their batting performance they have also done a good batting performance even they lose this match. I am saying this because if we compare their rating and the Indian team rating then we will find a big difference between them .

And the fact that the Netherlands team, despite having such a strong bowling line-up like the Indian team, was able to score 176 runs from that position is basically a one-of-a-kind success for their cricket.

Sometime players fail to keep momentum and lost their rhythm same happen with Abhishek Sharma in this event he fails to keep momentum and have 2 ducks but now its Super 8 where he needs to do better.

Now lineup is completed for next round here just 1 big upset Australia knocked out of this event early while England and Pakistan struggling which teams are going to be play next round it's going to be interesting because from here few teams will be able to give surprises specially West Indies is doing impressive job with New Zealand can also give good India and South Africa could be teams favorite for last four.

Too much of expectation on a particular player can break their rhythm, which is why he is just trying to swing in the very first ball. But ideal once should face a couple of balls to assist the pitch then he can rock the ball all over the ground. India won and It was very good performance from NED to be honest and a lot better than other teams so they will use this expereince and will make a better appearance in the future games.

Yeah, in the Men's T20 World Cup Pakistan defeated Namibia by 102 runs. Pakistan opens inning first with Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub and among the openers Farhan gives a positive start to the team and played a memorable innings of  100 runs but Saim scores only 14 runs and in middle order Salman Ali Agha played a well knock of 38 runs and also Shadab Khan played a well innings of 36 runs and at the end of the innings Pakistan set a very strong target of 200 runs. Namibia opens inning with Laouren Steenkamp and Jan Frylinck and among the openers Steenkamp give a positive start to the team by scoring 23 runs but Frylinck losses his wicket early on 9 runs and in middle only Alexander played a defensive knock of 20 runs and then all the team was panicked and Namibia don't chase the target successfully and scores only 97 runs and Pakistan won the game by 102 runs.

Indian batsmen have been able to perform their duties properly. They have been able to provide a decent target of 194 runs. Abhishek Sharma could not do well in today's match either. He could not add any runs to the scoreboard. But Shivab Dube, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar and Pandya batted responsibly.

But I expected more controlled bowling from the Indian bowlers. I expected the Netherlands innings to stop within 150. But they were able to collect 176 runs. Except Varun Chakravarthy and Bumrah, none of the Indian bowlers could bowl well.

Pakistan managed to score a huge 199 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets. Sahibzada Farhan remained unbeaten on 100 runs off 58 balls. Pakistani bowlers also did very well in this match. Namibia could not even score 100 runs. They lost all their wickets after scoring just 97 runs. Usman took 4 wickets and Shadab took 3 wickets.

In this match, Farhan was struggling to have ball on his bat and don't know that he was nervous early, not just in this game he is having same behavior from the first game of the World Cup but still he always plays a crucial role in the team's total because he prefer to boundaries and also try to maintain the running between the wickets.

When you hit a boundary, the pressure increases on the opponent team as compared to if you are taking a single or a double. However, when he gets all set on the pitch, then he becomes very hard for the opponent.
