T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Nanga Parbat]

Today's match is important for Afghanistan because they have already victory 1 match and got 2 points and if they victory today's match then they will have 4 points and will be in third position which can help them to go ahead. Canada team is enough weak and they will not be able to go ahead due to their negligence. Their bowlers are also not making any effort and hard work in today match which not will help them to succeed in the match. Afghanistan is taking full advantage of this their batsmen have scored 91 runs in 11 overs and if they play the next 9 overs with the same effort and score more runs then their target will be enough strong and victorious. Canada should victory today match and make Afghanistan fail for the next match. This match has become more interesting for Afghanistan success so they will have to work hard.

[Compromise me]

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.

Pakistan International cricket team performance is very bad in batting against good teams and they play well against associate teams or teams which have no strength and that is the reason pak qualified for the super 8 and Pak played very bad cricket in this tournament so far and Babar Azam is debt on the team because he did not play well against India and he always play well against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka but Pak will play next match against New Zealand and Babar have to perform in this match if he want to make place in the team . Babar Azam have to effort to win next match because next game is very important for Pakistan and Pak team should qualify for the semi final because we want to see interesting games in this tournament.

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.

Well... I am OK with that. Due to the heated political climate surrounding the tournament, the scheduling had to be done very carefully. If the pre-defined seedings were not there, then there will always be confusion related to the venues. For example, if Pakistan ends up in the same group as India, then the venue has to be moved to Sri Lanka. ICC has done whatever they can do in their capacity, although it is not that perfect. These small things aside, the tournament has been a roaring success so far, with record viewership and gate collection (and this is despite the last minute pull-out from Bangladesh).

Well, it is business for them and trying to fit in India vs Pakistan or India vs other top teams can give them more revenue that is the main reason why these kind of fixtures is there if I am not wrong. But kudos to Zimbabwe, they are on their dream run and would have been leading with 8 points if the rain hadn't interrupted them.

[MusaPk]

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.

After beating Australia, Zimbabwe today won its last game against Sri Lanka. This is an indication that Zimbabwe is indeed a great team and they  have rightly qualified for the next stage. Sri Lanka today scored 178 runs batting first and such target is not easy to chase but Zimbabwe did it in their last over. Zimbabwe lost just 4 wickets while chasing the target and there captain was the man of the match for his aggressive 45 runs innings on just 26 balls. No team in group B was able to beat Zimbabwe and this is positive sign for future of Zimbabwe cricket.

[BTC FutureKing]

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.

Just like me everyone preferred Sri Lanka over Zimbabwe because Sri Lanka defeated a strong team like Australia so Sri Lanka is a soldi team among the rest of the teams but Zimbabwe proved everyone wrong with its brilliant performance.If you look at it Sri Lanka also batted well and scored 178 runs and we can judge the strength of the Zimbabwean team from the fact that it had achieved the aim 3 balls before the stipulated overs and the Zimbabwean team lost very few wickets.Their batsmen established a very solid partnership in the ups.The Zimbabwean team is definitely increasing its strength in the World Cup and is becoming an incredibly solid team.Each of their batsmen batted with a very great strike rate.It can be difficult to beat them and I have just come to see the points table.The Zimbabwean team has not lost a single match yet and I think it will definitely reach the end of the World Cup.

Wow amazing First, Zimbabwe team beated Australia team and now this team has beaten Sri Lanka team. Now Zimbabwe has total 7 points and Zimbabwe team has not lost any game this season and they have successfully qualified for Super Eight. Sri Lanka team won toss and they got chance to take first bat or bowl and they elected batting first. Sri Lanka batsmen made 178 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Pathum batsman batted well and he scored 62 runs in 41 balls and hitted eight but unfortunately Sri Lanka bowlers did not stop Zimbabwe batsmen and their batsmen chased target and won game by 6 wickets and 3 balls remaining. Raza got player of game award because his batting effort was brilliant and he made 45 runs in 26 balls and hitted two 4s and four 6s. Brian also played outstanding inning opening and he made 63 runs in 48 balls and hitted eight 4s. Congratulations Zimbabwe team won 3 rd game and one was drawn.

Obviously, they will have to improve their performance and struggle in this game so that they can win easily and they can succeed in this group. Yes, their performance was so bad that they got a big target, they did not put pressure and took a target of 200 and this struggle will weigh heavily on them and they will lose the game. Afg players scored runs with better performance in this over and this struggle will turn into their winning. CAN will lose this game owing to their poor performance because they got a big target with their poor play and now their players are not even meeting this target, that is why they will lose. Congratulations to Afg on this win in advance and their struggle has already given them win in this game.

The Zimbabwean team is doing incredibly well in this World Cup. Australia and Sri Lanka are the strongest teams in Group B. They managed to defeat both these teams.
Sri Lanka set a target of 179 runs. But still Zimbabwe won the match quite easily. Brian Bennett and Sikandar Raza's innings in particular were very effective with Bennett's unbeaten 63 and Captain Sikandar Raza's crucial innings of 45 off 26 balls. Marumani also added 34 runs and Burl 23 runs on the scoreboard.

[AgriTrack]

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.

Zimbabwe is looking very strong in today's match because they have scored 182 runs which was a good score. Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to field and gave Zimbabwe the opportunity to bat and it was a good opportunity that Zimbabwe took advantage of it and gave them a good target. From the Zimbabwe team, Brian Bennett scored 63 for his team and remained not out which is one thing. He kept his batting strong for his team due to which he scored so much and along with this, Sikandar Raza supported his batsman and scored 45 runs and at the third position Tadiwanashe Marumani scored 34 runs. Apart from this, Tony Munyonga was also not out but he could face only 8 runs for his team and in comparison to them, Pathum Nissanka scored 62 runs from the Sri Lankan team and Pavan Rathnayake scored 44 runs in the second position and tried to meet the target of the next team because they  Apart from him, no batsman worked hard to help his team win. This proves that both Zimbabwe's batting and bowling were strong in today's match.

[noormcs5]

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.

Before the start of the game, I was like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe are both of the teams that beat to Australia and secured their place in, this time it was the battle of first position or second position in the points table.

Both of them are surely going to play the Super 8 and by the way still feeling bad for Australia, how could  this happen. However back to the match so we cannot take this game easy for sure,  just like Australia took against them and now they are on forth number, still they have single game to play against Oman.

Afghanistan just finished its ICC T20 World Cup campaign by beating Canada by margin of 82 runs. Afghanistan is a good side but they are out of world cup because they were not able to beat South Africa and New Zealand. Ibrahim Zadran was unlucky to miss his century by just 5 runs, he remained not out on 95 runs while his strike rate was 169. Canada team played there 20 overs but scored only 118 runs. Canada team was not able to win any match but they got a chance to improve there cricket by playing in an ICC event.    

[virasog]

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.

I think Abhishek  should not play the rest games and try to focus on his batting properly that why he had back to back three zeros in his last three innings in his first ICC tournament (Not ACC) while he really disappointed us in his last few games, he is getting out on zero by every team whether it is United States of America or Pakistan or Netherlands so I think instead of being more embarrassed must go to the nets and make your game better into extreme level that might help you.

[savetheFORUM]

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?

There is no criteria for having groups for top 8 as far as I checked because now with the end of last big game between host Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe it's completely changed top four teams are in Group 1 and 2nd spotted teams are in Group 2, this is interesting situation after surprising win of Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka.

Now it's not easy to predict about winners and 2nd spotted in both groups especially Group 1 is looking like group of death, India, South Africa and West Indies are on same level while in Group 2 New Zealand looks like favourite to win and fight for 2nd spot which is going to tough, three teams on same level and any team can go through to semi final. Sri Lankan's moral is now down after losing against Zimbabwe but good cricket in the end.

[Nothingtodo]

After beating Australia, Zimbabwe today won its last game against Sri Lanka. This is an indication that Zimbabwe is indeed a great team and they  have rightly qualified for the next stage. Sri Lanka today scored 178 runs batting first and such target is not easy to chase but Zimbabwe did it in their last over. Zimbabwe lost just 4 wickets while chasing the target and there captain was the man of the match for his aggressive 45 runs innings on just 26 balls. No team in group B was able to beat Zimbabwe and this is positive sign for future of Zimbabwe cricket.

The cricket world has been really surprised by Zimbabwe's incredible success in this World Cup, especially Zimbabwe got a point in the match abandoned due to rain against Ireland, besides Zimbabwe is undefeated in all the matches played so far, that is, Zimbabwe is at the top of the points table with a total of 7 points with full 2 points against Australia, Sri Lanka, Oman. That is, Zimbabwe is currently the strongest team in Group B. However, this is definitely positive for Zimbabwean cricket and there will be a huge change in the T20 rankings.

We thought zimbabwe would be eliminated in the first round. But they won against the two strongest teams in the group. And are still unbeaten in 4 matches and occupy the top spot in the  table. Zimbabwe's performance against australia and Sri lanka surprised everyone. There were two incredible results. Such a  decline in a giant team like Australia disappointed us all. Australia was one of the contenders for the title of this World Cup. But they are going home in the  first round. It is a shame for australia.

Yeah, In the Men's T20  World Cup Zimbabwe defeated Sri Lanka by 6 wickets. Sri Lanka opens inning first with Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Parera and both the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Nissanka played a well knock of 62 runs and also Parera played a well innings of 22 runs and in middle order Pavan Rathnayake played a aggressive  innings of 44 runs and also Wellalage played a well innings of 15 runs and stable the score card and at the end of the innings Sri Lanka set a very strong target of 179 runs. Zimbabwe opens inning with Brain Bennett and Marumani and both the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Bennett played a well inning of 63 runs and also Manumani played a well knock of 34 runs and in middle order Ryan Burl played good inning of 23 runs and also Sikandar Raza played a very aggressive innings of 45 runs and Zimbabwe  can easily chase the target successfully and won the game by 6 wickets.

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

In this World Cup, too many surprises while early exit of Australia and Afghanistan is also interesting because West Indies and Zimbabwe done impressive job and secured spots in upcoming round now quality difference between teams are getting closer which is also good for the cricket.

T20's future teams like Italy and Zimbabwe are done good job beating teams like Australia and Sir Lanka big achievement for them but now need consistency and improvement while Italy handed worst defeat to Nepal which make good impression for them in this big event and also have good chance for them to keep going to be better teams in cricket world.

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.

In this match of the series, the Pakistan team won by a stunning 102 runs against their opponent, Namibia, who scored 97 runs, but the target was 199 runs. From the point of view of the table, Pakistan and the other team have played four matches in which the Pakistan team won three matches and lost one, but Namibia has lost four matches. In this match, the most outstanding player in the performance of the Pakistani players was Sahibzada Farhan, who scored a hundred runs. The rest of them together achieved this target, which the other team could not achieve and they faced failure in this match and the Pakistan team achieved a stunning victory. If we look at it, the Pakistan team is many times better than this team and plays and wins international matches.

Sri Lanka opens inning first with Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Parera and both the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Nissanka played a well knock of 62 runs and also Parera played a well innings of 22 runs and in middle order Pavan Rathnayake played a aggressive  innings of 44 runs and also Wellalage played a well innings of 15 runs and stable the score card and at the end of the innings Sri Lanka set a very strong target of 179 runs.

Zimbabwe is showing the biggest surprise of this World Cup. They are performing incredibly well. They were able to defeat a giant team like Australia. We thought it was an accident. But Zimbabwe also won against Sri Lanka today.

Sri Lanka gave a target of 179 runs. This cannot be called a small target. Even then, Zimbabwe won the match losing only 4 wickets. Sri Lankan bowlers could not take any advantage. Experienced bowlers like Maheesh Theekshana gave away 47 runs in 3.3 overs. Dushan Hemantha could take two wickets but he gave away 36 runs for 4 wickets.
