T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[vivekdhyani1]

Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has been appointed the new head coach of Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League (BBL).

Flintoff was confirmed as Trevor Bayliss's replacement on Tuesday (June 2). This will be his first overseas coaching role, having already been at the helm of Northern Superchargers in The Hundred, taking them to two top-four finishes from the bottom of the table. He also coached the England Lions team on their recent tours and served as a consultant to England's white-ball teams under Matt Mott in 2023/24.

The 48-year-old has agreed to a two-year contract with the Sydney-based team and is said to have beaten competition from Shane Watson and Dan Christian to take up the role.

RCB lost only 5 matches in IPL for this season. All their players were in form and fit, and they were the favourites to win. Virat Kohli single-handedly ensured that they picked up the cup. This is why he is still called the best chase master in cricket. Vaibhav is a prodigy, and soon he will be part of the national team. In the finals, he was seated beside Jay Shah, which is a big signal to the selectors.

Virat Kohli demonstrated once again why he is legend of the game. At that moment pressure reached its peak in the final, it was his calm head and unprecedented chasing prowess that made sure that millions of fans eventually saw RCB win the trophy. One more strong point of the final Show was that young talent like Vaibhav Arora was given so much respect on such big stage. He is a unique talent that bowled with remarkable speed and maturity all through season with great pressure. Such support and his steady performance are only things that will take a short time before we see him in national team bowling on our behalf.

I was not aware of Andrew Flintoff's coaching experience. After retirement from Cricket due to his injuries, he took up boxing, which was very surprising and won a professional match and then retired after just one fight. For a long time he was away from the public eye due to some personal issues.

I always felt that Andrew Flintoff did not perform to his true potential in his career. I still remember his debut ODI match against Pakistan, where he was an average bowler but scored an impressive debut half century in a losing effort. It then took him 3 years to score any meaningful runs, and that too was against India.

His transition from a very mediocre player to an extraordinary phenomenon was really surprising. He started focusing on his batting from 2003 onwards, and by 2004, he began to impress with his bowling as well. Watching his bowling speed increase from 130 to 135 km/h to over 145 to 150 km/h was an incredible and surprising transformation.

I wish he would continue the same spirit in his coaching career. 🏆

By the way, I think it was the good luck of the Ireland women or the bad luck of the West Indies women because after setting the target of 141 runs, they were bowling well, and due to the DLS method, they won. Otherwise, it would have been challenging to win if there had been no rain. However, at the same time the team needs to be prepared for every case and hopefully in the further matches they will recover.

First of all, I will consider it unfortunate for West Indies Women because they did not work hard and were given a weak target but their luck was on their side, then it became unfortunate for Ireland Women and they could have achieved this target but could not because of DLS. If they had tried earlier and scored good runs in every over, then they could have succeeded in DLS too. They only needed 1 run but they were playing according to their over, it was their luck. If they feel that such an activity can happen, then they should play even good so that their DLS runs are more than the opposition team. This is a good lesson for them in the future which can also improve their strength.

Looks like Sky is all set to lose his captaincy in the T20 format which is the right call, but I don't think he should be removed from the squad all together because he has won multiple trophies over the years(Some as a captain and some under others).

Iyer or Patidar are good options for his replacements, but braindead Gambhir has issues with Iyer which is why Patidar or his favorite(Gill) could replace him. Would be epic if Vaibhav waltzed into the lineup somehow since he is in peak form currently.

He'll be in senior citizens marg darshan group, with his form with bat he won't deserve a spot in even 25 men's squad.

Troublesome news if gill is leading the team and don't think he's going to bat at SKY'S spot (number 4). I'd prefer iyer because of his experience as skipper and his spoilt in middle order as batter. Patidar, well idk.

Yes, WI-W team looked very strong against Pakistan-W team but against Ireland-W they gave very weak target and lost game due to poor effort. Today, there was also game between Pakistan-W and WI-W but it was interrupted during play and was eventually ended with no result. In 4 th game if this series, WI-W batted poor and made 144 runs target in 20 overs by losing 8 wickets. Ireland team closely beated WI-W team and won this 4 th game by 1 runs (DLS Method). Orla player got player of game award and she deserved this title because her effort and contribution was very helpful and first in bowling, she took down 2 wickets in 4 overs and gave 26 runs. In batting, she made brilliant half century total 71 runs in 46 balls and hitted eleven 4s and one 6s. Congratulations Ireland-W team won this Tri Nation series game.

Anyone looking the stats of Scotland Women Tri Nation Series. Three matches already been played and surprisingly Bangladesh Women team has lost both of their matches. And Scotland Women team is playing well and they are on top of the table for now. Scotland has the home advantage but their performance is also very good. According to the current situation I think Scotland Women team will win this Tri Nation Series easily.
By the way today is the fourth match of this series where Bangladesh Women team and Scotland Women team will face eachother. And again I think Scotland will win this match.

By playing first Netherlands Women team scored 162 runs and lost 5 wickets. In starting they played well and built a good partnership as they lost starting two wickets then could not recover the loss and scored less runs and used more balls. So they gave average total for chasing. On the other hand opponent team played more poor batting than the Netherlands women team team. They bowled well but in batting line they could not showed well runs. In Bangladesh Women team just two players showed responsible performance remaining other players showed shameful performance. Since it was lowest total so they should chased it in every situation and they could did this but they tried poorly and lost the match.

Troublesome news if gill is leading the team and don't think he's going to bat at SKY'S spot (number 4). I'd prefer iyer because of his experience as skipper and his spoilt in middle order as batter. Patidar, well idk.

Suryakumar Yadav started his international career quite late. And that makes his position in the squad quite vulnerable. He will be 36 in a couple of months. So the selectors would rather go for players like Shreyas Iyer or Rinku Singh, especially when he is not doing great with the bat. In case of Iyer, a few years back he was being talked about as the future Indian captain. But then his form dipped, had issues with the board (he refused to take part in the Ranji Trophy) and his captaincy tactics in the IPL were not up to the mark. At the moment, IMO Gill is the most suitable person to lead the Indian team.

Where will gill bat?

We have much better openers waiting in the wings and not sure if he's ready to bat at middle order. If he's opening with Abhishek then forget about suryavanshi and Jaiswal in the playing XI. Both are deserving, specially the later despite his recent form.

Virat Kohli should play for any team in the Indian Premier League that team will always be number 1 because Virat Kohli is a batsman who makes the team strong and powerful with his brilliant performance.We can judge Virat Kohli performance from the fact that Royal Challengers Bangalore has won the IPL twice in a row.More than half of the credit for the winning goes to Virat Kohli because he played the longest and strongest innings in the final and helped the team win the trophy.Not only in the IPL but also at the international level Virat Kohli is considered a legend of the game.It is very rare to see Virat Kohli not doing anything for the team otherwise he always does something special for the team.

Yeah. Sky has been in horrible form in recent years for sure, but the dude is somehow some sort of lucky charm for Team India in the T20 format which is an illogical reason to keep him in the team though I still hope he stays for that particular reason.

Iyer has always been proper ODI plus T20 captaincy material, but the board cares more about their own pointless egos than the country which is why those morons won't let it happen IMO. Just your usual neanderthals.

Bangladesh Women's team looked quite poor throughout the tri-nation T20I series in Scotland. This tournament surely an important part of their preparation for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, but their performances have raised serious concerns. After watching how they played, expectations for their upcoming events are quite low at the moment. On the other hand, Scotland Women's team impressed everyone with their consistent and confident performances. Considering the difference in form between the two sides, it's not surprising to see Scotland secure consecutive victories over Bangladesh today.

This tri nation series is very interesting the team that was expected to play well is not playing well at all and the team that was expected to perform poorly is at the first place.Of course I am talking about the women of Scotland.Scotland women have won 2 matches out of 3 matches and got 4 points and Bangladesh has won only 1 match and the performance of Netherlands women is also similar to Bangladesh women they have also won only 1 match. Talking about the remaining matches Netherlands women have two chances to win.If they win both the matches they will come in first place and Bangladesh women and Scotland women have the last chance to win the match.However till now Scott Land women are stronger than all the teams.

The fifth match of the series was won by the Scotland team due to the DSL method because when the match started the overs were reduced to 20 overs and the Scotland team set a target of 124 runs, but when the other team, which was their opponent the Netherlands Women team, started chasing the target given by them, the overs were further reduced to 10 overs, due to which this team became quite confused and did not perform well and perhaps that is why they faced failure in this match. The target set by the first team was reduced to 104 run but the Netherlands team scored only 80 runs in these 10 over. They had to lose this match by 24 run. Kathryn Bryce, who is a player of the first team scored 63 runs and her team won this match. If you look at it, this series has been quite interesting.  And let's see which two teams the next match is between.

I think it was what Kathryn Bryce had to do to hold the innings during first reduction that set two teams apart. With first batter controlling the game in perfect manner over changing situations, remaining players can also play with complete freedom. However, changed target of 10+ runs per over creating heavy load for chasers creates lots of mental pressure on chasing side, making them play highly dangerous shots. In modern white ball cricket it is huge part of matching the trouble caused by rain and it is always side that can stay calm through all confusion who makes it to the end.

Virat kohli is a legendary player because he gave his best for the team and he made a score for the team. He gave his best when team required more runs and he played a score in the final. He also gave excellent effort in the last IPL and he was criticized before the IPL 2025 but after that IPL , everyone was fan of that player because he played match winning inning which is not an easy for any player to play. Always team work required if you want to win tournament and there was excellent team work in RCB cricket team. In the 2025 final there was a strong team against RCB cricket team and RCB won against Punjab kings and now the result was same in this match.

Anyone looking the stats of Scotland Women Tri Nation Series. Three matches already been played and surprisingly Bangladesh Women team has lost both of their matches. And Scotland Women team is playing well

The sixth match of this series has just ended, where Ban Women has showed a strong all round performance to defeat NedW by 13 runs in the Scotland Women's Tri-Series. Everything was good enough till BanW played two overs but suddenly the match reduced to 8 overs due to rain affect. That's why BanW has to adapted better to the shortened format and afterwards the opening players provided an aggressive start, so that they could build early momentum and put pressure on the Ned bowlers specially Dilara Akter half century helped a lot. And when NedW turn started, Ban bowlers showed the excellent discipline as they knew that their each delivery carried extra importance in this match. The Ned batters started well enough but later they struggled to maintain the required scoring rate and gradually losing momentum maybe for extra pressure. This victory was really needed after Bangladesh's lost two matches earlier. Overall, BanW looked confidant this time, hope it could encourage them to accept difficult challenges in the upcoming matches.

Yesterday in the game between West Indies Women and Pakistan Women, when the Pakistan innings was almost about to end, the match got canceled due to the rain. And there was no result, but I think it was good for Pakistan as they had already lost the game. The way they were batting, they lost 7 wickets in the 16th over and scored just 111 runs; of course, it would be a one-sided game for West Indies Women, but today Pakistan has to face another challenge and the opponent is Ireland women, who recently beat them.
