National T20 Cup

Multan Region vs Karachi Region Blue

Multan Region secured big 74 runs win against Karachi Region Blues in National T20 Cup where they scored powerful 201 runs. Captain Imam-ul-Haq led way with fast 71 runs, and bowlers, especially Mohammad Ismail who got three wickets, did excellent job defending total. Karachi Blues struggled to keep up despite quick 43 runs from Usman Khan, and they were all bowled out for only 127 runs and they played almost 16 overs. This impressive performance has moved Multan Region to top of Group B, putting them in great position to reach semi finals.

Karachi Region Blues decided to field first which led to their loss. They should have batted first so that they could have played fearlessly and therefore scored more runs but they did not do so. Multan got the opportunity to bat first and they took advantage of this opportunity and set a target of 201 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Imam-ul-Haq scored 71 runs and supporting him, Mohammad Naeem scored 39 runs, which increased his team's score and in addition, Bismillah Khan scored 34 runs and in comparison Usman Khan scored 43 runs from the Karachi Region Blues team and supporting him, Ahsan Ali scored 20 runs. Multan's bowlers bowled very well, out of which Mohammad Ismail took 3 wickets and Arafat Minhas took 2 wickets. In this match, the Player of the Match was given to Imam-ul-Haq. Who scored 71 runs and Multan won the match by 74 runs which was a good performance which they have achieved through their hard work

The players of the Karachi Region Blue team tried their best to meet the target given by the opposing team, but they failed because Multan, who was also playing against them, set a target of 201 run, which included the hard work of their players, who showed a good team in creating such a target. Their performance not only in batting but also in bowling, was such that they dismissed all the player of the other team that too in 15 over. If all the players had been dismissed then perhaps they would not have been able to meet the target given by the opposing team. They scored 127 run and needed 74 run in five over. If everyone had performed well together they could have won, but if they played like that they would never have won. That is why they had to see failure in the match. The Multan team achieved a magnificent victory.

As far as pcb circuit is concerned, nepotism in selections be it team or any other recruiting. It's never an allegation or alleged incident but fact and it's famously called parchi system.

If you have connection or daddy has influence in Pakistan, you are guaranteed to have a first shot. There was even one bizzare incident that big doner of some team got his son captaincy in domestic.

Pakistani cricketing culture has been completely destroyed in the last few years due to political influence. There is no merit policy or system that helps youngsters have their best.

After humiliating defeats in the T20 World Cup, there were few suggestions, but not all Parchi players are back on the team, and selectors have their own interests. Due to these things and worse management, most chances are this team will not be able to have any improvement in all formats and will have spots below 6 because they are currently the worst, and things need revolutionary changes, which are not coming. Not only does Doner Son have the captaincy, but journalist Son, who failed in the first two ODIs, has a spot without any performance.

They were able to achieve their target because their performance and struggle did not improve and the KRB players were out after scoring only a few runs and they were defeated. This target was achieved owing to their better performance and at the same time they started putting pressure on their bowlers owing to which they achieved winning. If the KRB players had scored fast runs and achieved the target with their better performance, they could have succeeded in this too. The Mul players have also worked hard to achieve this target and this has been achieved in different colors owing to the struggle of their better players. Congratulations to Mul religion on this winning, they should play in the same way so that their performance should improve in every game. KRB should also have a better performance so that they do not fall into such a failure.

New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women

Today T20 cricket game between New Zealand and South Africa women national teams is much awaited as it is repeat of 2024 world cup final. One of strong points of New Zealand is playing in their own country, and South Africa has star players with such names as Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits who are ready to fight. Important battles, like that of Sophie Devine batting with much of power over skill of South African fast bowlers, will most likely decide winner of the game. One to be played at high speed and team handling pressure will win. It is excellent chance for New Zealand to show their power at home or South Africa getting back for their loss of that time.

New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women

Match has been started already and New Zealand Women Team won the toss and they decided to bat first. And the start was little not good because Isabella Gaze run out without playing a single ball. Georgia Plimmer  and the caption Amelia Kerr are now playing. They have made 43 runs in almost 4 overs. Run rate is good at this time. I hope they will make a good partnership and if New Zealand Women Team will go above 150 runs so I think this will be a difficult target for the South Africa Women Team.

Did anyone followed the Hundred auction, which happened this Thursday? James Coles of Sussex became one of the costliest player ever, after he was bought by London Spirit for a massive £390k (US$522k). Coles is just 21-years old and he is yet to make his debut for the national team. Last year his salary in the Hundred was worth only £31,000. At the moment, Coles is fourth costliest player for the season. Those above him are: Harry Brook (£465k), Phil Salt (£450k) and Jofra Archer (£400k). In the meantime, Aiden Markram became the costliest overseas player as he was nabbed by Manchester Super Giants for £200k.

If that was the case then salman agha wouldn't be in t-20 setup, let alone becoming captain. I dare to say, the kind of numbers he has after playing 50 odd t-20 matches, he should be banned from the t-20 format. He won't make in into even associate team if it comes to merit but in Pakistan he became captain and leading team into wc.

Then we have Shadab and seriously there is so much dishonesty in selection setup that, they have balls to justify their decision by comparing him with Hardik and saying the former is far superior cricketer.

[Haunebu]

Can you see the image? Keshav Maharaj is captaining SA.

Glanced over it and thought it was Markram since I assumed he was their captain. Maharaj's current form is a cause of concern for their team which could impact his captaincy.

90-95% south African squad visiting for this series watched their t-20 wc campaign as fans so don't think they'd have some sort of revenge fantasy.

New Zealand already has split captaincy ( white ball and red ball) maybe they don't want 3 different captain of 3 formats and we have odi wc in late 2027.

Probably though it would be a lot more interesting if they did want to seek proper revenge after everything that transpired in the T20 WC. Toxic entertainment basically. Also, Santner is a shit captain in any format. Mitchell or Phillips could be far better captains in comparison.

I don't like 'costliest overseas player' tag on Aiden Markram but £200k looks fair price for him.


...and for whining purposes, some Indian players are doing this religious gymnastics for winning trophy, and I get second hand embrassment watching 'em. Breh, if you won the trophy, call it your skill and be done with it.

Revenge in cricketing terms is boring lol

Yeah, I would like if there is some real heat with fucked up sledging with bit of physical confrontation and it would be some sight because on receiving end are Kiwis, the nicest bunch of cricket. 😂

New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women
....

In the end the result of the match was as I expected, I thought before the match started that New Zealand women would win. Amelia Kerr has consistently performed brilliantly for New Zealand women, she has performed brilliantly against Zimbabwe and today also scored 78 off 44 balls against South Africa. And Georgia Plimmer contributed well, she scored 63 off 44 balls. In the end, the New Zealand women scored a huge score of 190 runs. South Africa women were restricted to 110 runs and New Zealand women won by a huge margin of 80 runs.

On the other hand, the New Zealand men's team performed very poorly. New Zealand were bowled out for just 91 runs which was very disappointing. South Africa are going to win easily.

South Africa's first revenge T20 match after the T20 World Cup was held where South Africa did not let the New Zealand batsmen stand on the pitch in today's match. James Nesshem played an innings of 26 runs, and no other batsman could make a mention of the collection, as a result, the New Zealand team was all out for just 91 runs.
After New Zealand's poor performance in the final of the T20 World Cup, we saw another poor performance against South Africa.

[noormcs5]

The first T20 game was played between the New Zealand and the South African men's team. The New Zealand batting was a complete disaster today. They lost four wickets for 21 runs and after that they were not able to recover from that position. There was hardly anyone who could bat today. James Neesham made 26 runs later in the innings. They could not even cross 100 runs in their innings.

South Africa's batsmen chased this score easily. They lost only three wickets and the game was always under their control. Connor Esterhuizen made 45 runs and wasn't able to make half century but he remained not out.

Both the teams have plenty of new players who are trying to give their best, and the South Africans were on their best start with early wickets, giving them a good boost after the exit from world cup semi final.

New Zealand has never been able to have anything positive that helps them fight against spirited Proteas. All SA bowlers did an impressive job and took an early breakthrough. James Neesham helped the team have a decent total, but South Africa's batting did a good job and managed a big win in this first game. Big teams are bringing in new blood for their future, which is having a good impact on them in the future. Even New Zealand always has a good spirit for fighting back, but with this performance, I am not expecting any resistance from them against South Africa in this series.

No one scored more runs than Brits in their performing. This player scored 29 runs, Reyneke scored 24 runs and Klerk scored 19 runs. Such a performing does not meet the aim so nice  If we look at the performing of NZ W, Kerr scored 78 and Plimmer scored 63 runs and with that the efforts of some players improved this aim. Among their bowlers, Devine showed a super performing in which he pocketed 4 wickets in 4 overs and bowled harmfully for SA W and gave away the least runs. Kerr also played nice and worked hard for the wins, took 2 wickets and gave away 13 runs, which is the second nice performing with Devine. NZ W performing is super in every game and SA W players have got a nice lesson and their performing in the next lesson should be super.

Hard disagree. Revenge in sports is almost always satisfying since it's entertainment at the end of the day. Why do you think India-Pak matches are so hyped up despite being one sided for eons now? Aus-Eng, Sri Lanka-Bangladesh etc....List goes on and on.

South Africa would absolutely lose it if they won some big ICC trophy against India in the future though your point about the Kiwis makes perfect sense since they are proper gentlemen and avoid fights almost always.

Newly fun and new competition started today and it is being played among women squads. South Africa women squad and New Zealand squad are participating and first match was successfully completed today. New Zealand women squad was begun match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 190 scores off 20 overs inning. Amelia Kerr and Georgia Plimmer batters were built strong and long batting partnership and both were played wonderful inning and collected 78 and 63 scores respectively. South Africa women squad was unable to achieve victory in this match and their batters were fell short by 80 scores. Special thanks to Sophie Devine who displayed impressive performance in bowling and played crucial role in getting and picked up 4 significant wickets.

New Zealand Women cricket team won the match easily by high margin which was 80 in this match and they made 190 runs in this match and Amelia Kerr played excellent inning in this match and she was top performer in this match because she looked in excellent form.  She played with strike rate of 177 in this match and team won the match easily and opponent team was all out at just 110 runs. Many players of South Africa Women team could not enter in double figures and no player took responsibility in this match And Devine took 4 wickets in this match when it was requirement of the team. Jess Kerr performance was great in this match because she took 2 wickets in this match and economy of that team was great in this match

Yeah, 1st game between New Zealand and South Africa was almost one sided and South Africa with top performance defeated the New Zealand by 7 wickets. New Zealand opens inning first with Devon Conway and Tom Lathum and both the openers don't set a strong partnership and give a very poor start to the team and Latham scores just 7 runs and also Conway lost his wicket early on 1 run and in middle order all the team was panicked because the pitch favors the bowling and African bowlers completely dominating the African batters and only Neesham trying to built the innings and played a defensive innings of 26 runs and also Santner helps Neesham to stable the innings by 15 runs and at the end of the innings New Zealand set a very low target of 92 runs. South Africa opens inning with Tony De Zorzi and Esterhuizen and among the openers Esterhuizen  played a good innings while chasing the target and scores 45 runs  but De Zorzi  just scores 2 runs and in middle order Dian Forrester played a good knock of 16 runs and easily chase the target successfully won the game.

The first semi final of the world Cup was also played between South Africa and New Zealand in which New Zealand defeated South Africa to reach the final but in today series South Africa made New Zealand suffer.I am very happy to see this performance of South Africa. South Africa bowlers dismissed the batsmen very quickly and they could only score 91 runs.It was an easy win and this win was certain.Even if South Africa had lost wickets the winning would still have been for South Africa because South African batsmen form strong partnerships.In the Wilderness Cup South Africa also showed a lot of effort for their winning but luck was not on their side but today they are taking revenge by defeating New Zealand in the first match.I am not  agree with New Zealand performance because the team playing the final l lose in the first match of the ICC series which is unbelievable.
