T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Bd officer]

Muhammad Naeem was really great today, as well as Fakhar Zaman, both made a wonderful partnership early, full of boundaries and big shots as well. By the way Muhammad Naeem did not take pressure and playing without any kind of fear that affected his game, always trying for big shots yeah at the start he was struggling to have, I mean 5  to 6 balls but he tries and then on the last ball of the second over, he smashed a wonderful and clean six and ball landed at the stands. He made 30 quick runs at the start.

The batsmen of Lahore Qalandars performed brilliantly in this match, Fakhar Zaman scored a half-century, he was dismissed for 53 off 39 balls. Also on the last side Haseebullah Khan & Sikandar Raza and Shahen Afridi did well. Haseebullah Khan was unbeaten on 40 off 28 balls and Sikandar Raza scored 24 off 10 balls and Shaheen Afridi hit two sixes off 2 balls. To be honest I expected a good performance from Bangladeshi batsman Parvez Hossain Emon but he did not perform as per my expectations and got out after scoring 14 runs off 13 balls.

However, in the end the Lahore Qalandars scored 199 runs, in fact it was a good target in the T20 format. If the bowlers of the Lahore Qalandars team can do well then Lahore Qalandars can win, now let's see what happens in the end.

However, in the end the Lahore Qalandars scored 199 runs, in fact it was a good target in the T20 format. If the bowlers of the Lahore Qalandars team can do well then Lahore Qalandars can win, now let's see what happens in the end.

Exactly that was really a good target because they put a lot of pressure on Hyderabad team with this huge target. Hyderabad tried to chase this target but unfortunately they did not reach that target and they only made 130 runs with all team out. All the bowlers of Lahore Qalandars contributed well and all bowlers collected 1,2 wickets to destroy the other team. I think Lahore Qalandars will playe the final match again.

Actually, once again, a surprising thing happened in this series, just when it seemed that the South African team might have lost this series, the South African team won again.

Yeah, I was considering New Zealand as very favourite to win the last match. The odds was also in their favour. But their bowlers did so bad in the death overs. Which has helped South Africa to give a better target. The youngster, Connor Esterhuizen has played well in the entire series. Some youngsters have performed well for both teams in this series.

And I think not only you and me there is also lots of people who are thought that New Zealand team will gonna be winner in this series and here I think the big reason is the third and the second match, because in the these two match the New Zealand team played an outstanding performance against the South African team especially by their bowling they were outstanding and as well another big reason is the ground is from the New Zealand team and that is why I thought that they will gonna favour by the weather condition as the peach condition.

But unfortunately we saw the opposite, On the contrary, the South African team maintained their dominance in this match from the beginning to the end.

[JunaidAzizi]

New Zealand lost the series and the series record is 3 for South Africa while on the other hand New Zealand got just couple of victory which is also good. Both teams gave good competition, and this is the motive of the series, which entertains the fans and boosts the excitement.

Also, here the teams can test their players for tournaments, but yeah, every team always tries to give their best, whether it is a tournament match or a local series. Nice win by South Africa.

Yeah, the series was about testing their player performance and understanding where they are weak and what things they need to work on. I supported New Zealand in this series as I thought they would be the winners based on their performance in the second and third matches, but when it came to the fourth and fifth, they lost both. The reason is clear, they still had wickets but no balls left. It means the players were afraid of hitting and keeping the wickets, but there is no sense in keeping the wickets safe when you have no balls left and lose the game. The New Zealand team should work on this, it would be better for the next matches.

To be honest I expected a good performance from Bangladeshi batsman Parvez Hossain Emon but he did not perform as per my expectations and got out after scoring 14 runs off 13 balls.

Also, Abdullah Shafique did not play well. He recently performed great in the National T20, which is a kind of domestic league of Pakistan where big players perform to boost their skills and be more efficient so that they could qualify for the further stages, which also has a huge impact on the junior, upcoming players.

By sharing knowledge and communicating complex problems with each other, it always results in good for everyone. Anyway, today he got out on just 4 runs off 5 balls. Such a bad game, hopefully we will see him in a different mood in the next game.

New Zealand has become extremely inconsistent over the last few years. At times, they are able to defeat the top-3 teams in cricket, but they also have a poor record at home against the visiting sides. Recently they managed to reach the final of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup. But immediately after that, they lost the T20I series against a weak and inexperienced South African side. Now a tougher challenge awaits them on the doctored tracks of Mirpur. New Zealand will be touring Bangladesh next month, and the first match will be played at Mirpur on 17th April.

[Jaweria parveen]

Lahore Qalandars have done a great batting performance in today's match, they have scored 199 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Their batting performance was very good from the beginning and they have started well in the opening as a result they have been able to create a big score. In today's PSL first match, we can pretty much assume that Lahore Qalandars are the favorites to win, but if Hyderabad Kingsmen can do a good batting performance in this match, then it is possible to reach the stage of winning. Hyderabad Kingsmen have started batting well in the opening, if they can build a partnership for a long time, then they can reach the stage of fulfilling the target. Although it will be very difficult to meet such a big score, especially when they lose wickets, they will be under a lot of pressure, Lahore Qalandars' bowling performance is very good, they will try to put pressure on their opponent team.

As I thought, it will be quite easy to describe the performing of the first game and there will be a lot of power from this team which has started playing with nice thinking and intention to win in the first game itself. The performing of Pakistan Super League is confident in every team but we know that some teams will not win due to their mistakes and will give other teams a chance. LAH players Zaman scored 53 runs with a lot of hard work and nice effort, Khan collected 40 runs and Naeem scored 30 runs despite such a nice game, their power has improved while extra effort has been created in their bowling. Shah, Raza, Rauf took 2 wickets with nice performing with their nice thinking. LAH fans are happy with this win and they want to express it till the end, for this LAH will have to play super.

[Sithara007]

Surprising that no one is talking about the ongoing Pakistan Super League match between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators. In India the live streaming is not available in any of the sports platforms. Last year the matches were available LIVE on YouTube, but this year the Indian government blocked that option as well. ESPN Cricinfo is showing the live score update, but in between they got stuck and was not updating the scorecard for a few minutes. Anyway, Karachi Kings are now struggling as they lost two quick wickets. They are 49/2 after 4.2 overs, with both Salman Agha and Muhammad Waseem back in pavilion.

In 1st PSL11 match Lahore Qalandar had great impact on team. By playing first they scored 199 runs. It was very well inning they played. As they were playing till 10th over they should scored 230 plus runs. But they lost some wickets back to back and couldn't make it. Anyways it was great total they created. In starting openers built a great partnership. They utilized power play effectively. On the other hand Hyderabad team bowled poorly. This is first match of Hyderabad of this tournament so they should played with planning and strategy. After losing top orders they could not stable the game and they played more dot balls so due to weak bowling and batting they lost the match.

So far I think Karachi batting order is so good, they are with totally T10 mind set, the way every batsmen is playing and not feeling the fear of being out.

Just now Quetta got Salman Ali Agha and then they were celebrating that wicket they were hoping that now they could have the momentum but they forgot the next batsmen is Saad Baig. Well Saad came and with wonderful cover drive on the first ball and on the second ball he smashed another six, leads Karachi Kings crossed 50 under 5 overs.

Just the power play ends and we have Hassan Nawaz in the bowl and by the way it is kind of surprise by Quetta to Karachi Kings because Quetta knows at these situations when the batsmen activates their beast mood they are not going to be stop easily so this stage of course it matters to change the pace and give bowl to, you can say part time spinner.

However, if we talk about the over, early balls were good, but later he suddenly did the full toss that was totally bad, as a result of which Warner played it greatly for six, and still after a good start in the over, Karachi Kings scored 10 runs in the over. They are not letting their run rate down, even after the power play ends, which is really good.

It is true that New zealand's performance has been erratic. But in this series both the teams played with their second tier squads. So we saw erratic performances  from both the squads. Still, I expected a slightly better performance from New zealand. New zealand will probably play against Bangladesh in the next series. I do not know if the series is Bangladesh's home match. If it is bangladesh's home match  then it will be difficult for New zealand to win this series as well. And if they  stick with the second-tier squad, New zealand might lose the series

Yes, after KAR lost their first wicket on the fifth ball of the opening over, captain David Warner and Salman Ali Agha batted at a fairly good strike rate for the next wicket and scored 44 runs in four overs.
So far, 11 overs have been played and KAR have scored 104 runs for the loss of three wickets in 11 overs. KAR's batting line-up is quite strong.
 If they can score 190 plus runs in today's match, then we will see a great fight between both the teams.

[Haunebu]

IPL 2026 is set to begin soon. SRH vs RCB is the first encounter surprisingly on RCB's turf oddly considering the whole stampede that happened there. My prediction is that SRH will win the first match primarily because of Kishan and Abhishek.

MI vs KKR coming up next which should be a cracker followed by CSK vs RR on Monday where Samson faces his old team. Excited!

LQ vs HHK, 1 st game of PSL series was ended yesterday and winner of 1 st game was LQ team and they beated HHK team by big margin 69 runs.  Today 2 nd PSL game between KK and QG team is live and this game is playing at Gaddafi Stadium. QG team won toss and they chose fielding first and gave batting line to KK team. KK played their lineup and played all overs and KK batsmen set big target 181 runs by losing 7 wickets. In opening, David batsmen batted so well and helped team to set big target and he made 35 runs in 22 balls and vitted four 4s and one 6s. Moeen batsmen missed half century and he remained not out and scored 48 runs in 29 balls and hitted four 4s and three 6s. QG is not weak team and they have capable to chase such big runs and win this game but they need to bat carefully. Ahmed bowler bowled out of 3 wickets of KK team in 4 overs and gave 36 runs. Let's see how QG batsmen respond during chase and what final result of match will be.

Pakistan Super League 2026 is going to be very interesting because this time there is new enthusiasm and excitement among the teams.Today is the second match of this league in which Karachi Kings have scored quite great runs by starting the batting first and perhaps Karachi Kings can set a aim of 175 runs today which may be acceptable for Quetta Gladiator.Quetta Gladiator has stopped Karachi Kings from progressing with hard bowling.The strike rate of Karachi Kings batsmen is quite great but due to the negligence of some batsmen the game got a little worse but in the end Moeen Ali strengthened the score a little and scored 48 runs off 29 balls and he is still in the field and along with him Hassan Ali also fulfilled his responsibility by hitting a four.

QG lost the match today due to the batting failure of the top and middle order batsmen except the opening batsmen. Shamyl Hussain and Saud Shakeel came out to bat for QG and batted brilliantly and scored 79 runs without losing a wicket in seven overs. In that case, Saud Shakeel scored 33 runs off 25 balls and Shamyl Hussain scored 52 runs off just 24 balls. This was the highest individual innings for both the teams. But after the fall of the first wicket of 79 runs, QG started to fall behind and finally they lost by 14 runs.

IPL 2026 is set to begin soon. SRH vs RCB is the first encounter surprisingly on RCB's turf oddly considering the whole stampede that happened there.

I don't find it surprising but whatever and fwiw they have kept 11 seats empty as tribute (?) to stampede victims ^[1]. Let's see how long this seats are kept vacant. What I DO find surprising is this minister asking for free tickets ^[2] — it's hillarious.

...followed by CSK vs RR on Monday where Samson faces his old team. Excited!

I am pretty sure Sanju must be feeling more at home with CSK.

Lahore Qalanders cricket team is very strong team and players have funny environment and they enjoy to play for franchise.  Hyderabad Kingsmen cricket team performance was excellent in the debut match because they have no experience of franchise cricket and marnus have no experience of captaincy and I think he is not a player of T20 game . Maxwell was not part of the team And they could not chase the target and  Sikander Raza gave good momentum to his team and he played with excellent strike rate of 240 because he made 24 runs in just 10 Balls and he also took 2 wickets in this match. Mohammad Ali gave more runs in this match and that was the reason Lahore Qalanders cricket team made an excellent target in this match. Haseebullah Khan was appreciated after that inning because he played excellent knock for his team and absorb pressure when it was needed to his team.

[Smack That Ace]

QG lost the match today due to the batting failure of the top and middle order batsmen except the opening batsmen. Shamyl Hussain and Saud Shakeel came out to bat for QG and batted brilliantly and scored 79 runs without losing a wicket in seven overs. In that case, Saud Shakeel scored 33 runs off 25 balls and Shamyl Hussain scored 52 runs off just 24 balls. This was the highest individual innings for both the teams. But after the fall of the first wicket of 79 runs, QG started to fall behind and finally they lost by 14 runs.

I never imagined Quetta Gladiators would lose the match after scoring  79 runs in just 7 overs from the opening pair. They batted atrociously. Except for the two openers, rossouw and McDermott were able to bat somewhat well. Even then, Rossouw scored 25 runs from  21 balls. He batted  very slowly. Hasan nawaz batted like the most idiot. He  scored only 19 runs from 24 balls. Nawaz could not bat even at a strike rate of 100.

Karachi  was able to secure the victory in the match due to hasan ali's incredible bowling. Hasan gave away  27 runs in 6 overs. But he took 4 important wickets. Haasan ali took the wickets of Saud shakeel, Rossouw, Curran and nawaz.
