T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Webetcoins]

Grouping of teams for Super 8 is revealed, it's going to be interesting because Group 1 is having India, South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe from here I am expecting India and South Africa for the last four while West Indies can shock South Africa because they are having good rivalry and in this West Indies can go through in big game.

Group 2 is having England, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka here prediction is not easy but as things are going New Zealand and Sri Lanka are strong contenders for last four, but Pakistan is always not easy to predict, they can go through against England and Sri Lanka still it's going to be highly competitive matches with all top teams are on good level.

Pakistan vs Namibia

As I Said and as what was expected, Pakistan won and that too with a great Margin, Maybe even the Biggest Margin in This t20 WC. Pakistan just forgets how to play cricket when it comes to them playing against India otherwise Pakistan is a great Team. Them winning the Series Againt Australia By whitewashing them isn't a thing a normal team could do.

I sometimes have doubts of Pakistan Selling matches on India ( Fixing ) because how could a team in such good form collapse like that I front of India. GOD knows what is going on. But Talking about today's match it wasn't that Exiting even though farhan scored a century but still we are unhappy from the last result. Now we can just only hope Pakistan and India qualifies to the Finals and Pakistan wins, that's the only way our Mental trauma can end.

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.

Sahibzada Farhan is a excellent player who made century in the last match and hopefully he will play well against New Zealand as he has to lead from the front and he has much responsibility because top order of Pak could not play against India and public is very angry on Pak . Usman Tariq performance was great in this match and he took 4 wickets in this match and he was prominent player of Pak . Namibia International cricket team was all out at just 97 runs and Pak team won the match by high margin as we expected because Namibia is associate team and Pak team has upper ranking and their public deserve more from that. Shadab Khan always performance well against small teams and now he got opportunity in this match.

Pakistan has a number of talented batsmen in their squad. But their main problem is the inconsistent performance of their batsmen. No batsman has been consistent in his performance. Shahibzada Farhan played an incredible innings against Namibia. The Pakistani opener remained unbeaten on 100 runs from 58 balls. But in the previous match against India, Farhan could not add any runs to the scoreboard.

Experienced players like Saim Ayub and Babar Azam are not in good form. If they cannot return to form, good results cannot be expected from Pakistan. Pakistan will play New Zealand and England in the next two matches. Their opponents are strong in both matches.

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.

Indian team is moving forward without any defeat and has not lost single game after playing four games. Today 36 th game of World cup was played and this game was played against Netherlands team. India won toss and they got opportunity to choose field and batting lineup first and India elected batting first and gave bowling lineup to Netherlands team. India team gave 193 runs target in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. Abhishek got out after playing 3 balls and scored 0 runs. Shivam batsmen helped alot team to win this game and he scored 66 runs in 31 balls and hitted four 4s and six 6s. Suryakumar and Hardik both also performed well with Shivam and Hardik made 30 runs and Suryakumar made 34 runs. Netherlands team lost this game close margin 17 runs. Varun bowled out 3 wickets in 3 overs and gave 14 runs.

In search of shots and amazing power hitting, Pakistan batsmen often lose the wickets. Take a look at Saim Ayub who was playing the wide ball because he wants to keep the momentum of power hitting and lose his wicket due to an irresponsible short.

While when Salman Agha was playing so good he also played the out side ball by doing fast movements of foot and tried to take the outside ball to cross the fence but it resulted not good and he gets out too. On the number forth instead of Babar there was Nafey and hit the four on the first ball. Pakistan has to improve because it next matches the opponent would be not as weak as Namibia.

It was the first century for Farhan in his career of T20 cricket, he has achieved this milestone in the ICC tournament and also if we think according to the match, Pakistan was much needed for this innings as well as Farhan to boost his confidence because in the last game against India, he got out on golden duck.

However, this match was important for the Pakistan to qualify into the Super 8 games otherwise if they would have lost this game then it was for sure Pakistan to got out from the group stages.

Perfect comeback story of Ahmed Shehzad, when Sahibzada Farhan scored great 100 off 58 balls, a best not seen by international cricketer since Ahmed Shehzad. This was very important moment in match since loss against Namibia would have placed Pakistan in spot of being kicked out instead of USA. Instead, Farhan hit 11 fours and 4 sixes to give Pakistan amazing 199/3 and 102 to 1 huge win.

I agree that game is showing new start of top batters of Pakistan, especially when Farhan took less than 20 balls to get to 100 against fact of old players such as Babar Azam having taken break. This scary speed will just be what team needs as they go into Super 8 Group 2 where they will play with New Zealand on February 21 and then play against big matches against England and Sri Lanka.

A big win against Namibia doesn't mean much in the long run IMO. Babar Azam has scored just 66 runs from the 4 matches in this tournament so far. His only notable contribution was the 46 which he made against the United States. And the less talked about their pace bowling, that better. Shaheen Shah Afridi looks teethless without the company of Naseem Shah. Usman Tariq has been performing exceptionally, but his success will stop once the batsmen are able to read his deliveries. Usman has so far taken 8 wickets, and I expect many more in the Super8 stage.

I agree despite big victory over Namibia that saw Pakistan move into Super 8s, team continues to face large issues and Babar Azam has very poor batting average and Shaheen Afridi no longer seems like danger without help of Naseem Shah to support him. Although Usman Tariq, mystery spinner has been great, there is high risk of other better teams figuring him out and making sure that he cannot perform same in next round. Calm and slow plan of building confidence against Namibia worked, however, Pakistan is still weak as their star players are being pushed out by new members. They have just two days to fix these problems before they go to Caribbean where they will have to face far more difficult test where they can not afford to depend on only one or two players to carry whole team.

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.

Agreed on associate teams. Overall, there has been a lot of improvement. Perhaps the first time I watched associate teams in action was during the 1996 ODI World Cup, when Kenya managed to shock West Indies. United Arab Emirates and Netherlands also participated in that tournament. Apart from the win by Kenya, the performance by these teams was not up to the mark. Next in 1999, Scotland participated for the first time along with Kenya. 2003 was when they peaked, with Kenya qualifying for the semi-finals. The ICC went with a 16-team format for the 2007 tournament. It flopped and from then onwards they restricted the ODI world cup only to the full members.

But, could you explain why group 1 got 3 team who finished first on first round and the 2nd group got 3 teams who finished second?

I mean, based on what criteria these groups were made?

Althoughh 2007 game was seen as failure since the main teams such as India and Pakistan were knocked out at early parts but 20 team setup today has shown that smaller countries such as Scotland, Netherlands and Italy are now smart enough to keep main teams playing hard at final parts.
Even though there are famous teams that have shrunk as result of inner problems such as Kenya, there are others that have taken their place such as Namibia and Nepal that have built stronger cricket systems..Associate teams nowadays have success marks of about 25 percent in games with full members, which is proof of fact that gap between them is shrinking and that having more teams in sport makes it more fun to all involved.

Pak won toss and they decided to bat first. They took start very well.  Sahibzada farhan played outstanding inning. He played 58 and scored 100 runs and remained not out till end. This was very important and do or die match if they lost the match then then take off from world cup so in important match sahibzada farhan play important role. Also captain Salman ali agha played better he scored 38 runs in 23 balls. In ending overs shadab khan hitting was very well he scored 36 in 22 balls so they scored total 199 runs. On the other hand Namibia team could not chase it. Pakistani bowlers bowled brilliant in this match. Especially spinners played very important role. Shadab khan and Usman Tariq bowling was outstanding Usman Tariq dismissed 4 players and shadab khan dismissed 3 players. Namibia team should fight with bravery even they lose the match but they gave back to back wickets and couldn't cross 100 runs. And Pakistan won the match with a great margin.

Zimbabwe! Wow! I don't think anyone could have expected them to end on top of the group where there are teams like Sri Lanka and Australia in the same group. They didn't lose once which is insane. Raza came and absolutely decimated the Lankans.

They made this ongoing World Cup so much more interesting. Let's see how far they go in this tournament.

Zimbabwe's success in this year's T20 World Cup has been incredible, especially Zimbabwe, who have beaten Australia and Sri Lanka in the group stage. Zimbabwe helped Australia to be eliminated from the group stage by defeating Australia in this group and so far Zimbabwe has become the undefeated group champion.
Chasing a target of 178 runs, Zimbabwe defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets with three balls to spare in today's match. It is truly a shame that Sri Lanka lost to Zimbabwe at their familiar home ground.

I have criticized Zimbabwe a lot, but their performance in this tournament has been exceptional. Defeating both Australia and Sri Lanka within a short duration is incredible. Zimbabwe has their own internal issues, but so far they have worked together as a team and delivered amazing results. And trust me, they have a good chance of qualifying to the semi-finals as well. Along with Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans, one player who shone in their bowling line-up today was Graeme Cremer. He is 39-years old and re-joined the Zimbabwe squad after a very long hiatus of almost 8 years.

Due to pre-tournament seedings, Group 1 of the Super Eight stage will have all four teams who topped their first-round groups unbeaten , that's why pre seeded fixtures doesn't work ..what's the point on being undefeated if you're gonna face other top teams in super 8.

[Bitcoin_people]

Zimbabwe team is in the best form in this T20 World Cup, despite being a small team, they have won all four matches so far. Today's match, they defeated Sri Lanka team and became the group champion. Their great performance has definitely boosted their confidence. In the next round, they will try to attack more strongly and they will have more exciting matches with the opposing teams. Zimbabwe team has achieved a victory by 6 wickets today, it is very happy for them because the team has defeated such a strong team in Sri Lanka. If Zimbabwe team can maintain their performance in the next matches, then it will definitely be possible for them to reach the final. Compared to all the other teams, Zimbabwe team is in much better form and they are now the most confident.

Yes, we did not consider Zimbabwe to be such a strong team, especially we are familiar with Zimbabwe's past performance, but this time in the World Cup, Zimbabwe is presenting itself in a new way, which we cannot easily believe that Sri Lanka is having to face Zimbabwe at its own venue. Australia, one of the superpowers in cricket, has been defeated by Zimbabwe and has been eliminated from the T20 World Cup in the group stage. However, this time, the way Zimbabwe has balanced its team, its bowling and batting are in no way less than other strong teams. So, we will definitely give Zimbabwe 10 out of 10 marks as an exceptional team in this World Cup.
