Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

I liked that team but let's be honest. 

They only qualified for the finals because of loopholes and not for their performances. They benefitted because some series got canceled and it includes their away series as well. They played 4 series (3 home -Won), (1 away-Whitewashed). Also Australia messed up with their over rates and fell marginally behind the Kiwis.

At the very least, they won a big ICC tournament while India has been consistently choking at vital points over the years and are competing with South Africa for the bigger choker tag basically.

Also, it felt great to see the Kiwis win after England robbed them during the 2019 ODI WC and because they are some of the nicest cricketers around.

Bangladesh and New Zealand will face off in the second Test at Mirpur Sher Bangla Stadium on Wednesday. Bangladesh won the Sylhet test under the leadership of Nazmul Hossain Shanto. Nazmul Hossain Shanto batted well, so if the Bangladesh team can open well on Wednesday and if a big target can be given to New Zealand, then maybe they can win the series against Bangladesh-New Zealand. After losing the first test match, New Zealand team will try to play very well. Of course, if Bangladesh bats first, they will have to score good runs, then they will have to put New Zealand under pressure with good bowling, then maybe it will be possible to win the match. And if the test series is won against New Zealand it will be the first win for Bangladesh which has never won a test series against New Zealand before. The Tigers want to maintain that winning streak in the Dhaka Test as well. Of course, best wishes for the Bangladesh team, they know they play well.

The second Test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand will start on December 6.Maybe this match will not be too easy for Bangladesh as the New Zealand team has already added three good spinners in their squad.They added Ajaz Patel, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner to their team. New Zealand have strengthened their team's spin bowling attack as they know Bangladesh's pitches are spin friendly.
If the pitch like the one in Sylhet is the same in the Mirpur Sher-Bangla National Stadium, then maybe New Zealand can win against Bangladesh.

Tomorrow is the match of Pakistan vs Australia Prime Minister team, this is a test match and also a tour match so this match is not any method by the series of three test matches, that will be start on 14 December.

The Australian Prime Minister team announced the squad that we will see on the ground tomorrow, and the Pakistan team didn't announce their playing 11 right now but they will do it after a few minutes. In this series, the Pakistan cricket board gave many players a chance to debut in cricket and start to play well as their senior players who led Pakistan to win in every situation.

The wait is finally over and another test series is coming, tomorrow is the tour match and after that match the real series will be started and we all are excited about it. The Pakistan test series has come after such a long time, and i hope to see some close matches.

Tomorrow is the first match of the Pakistan with Australia test, actually, it is not the first this is a tour match so this match doesn't have a link with the series, this match is like a warm-up match.

Anyway, this is the first test match of Shan Masood as captain of the Pakistan team, and recently Shan Masood said in a press conference that we are going with the replacement of Rizwan so let's see if he stays with his decision. I think this is a good decision because recently Sarfraz played very well in the National Cup, but on the other hand Rizwan is also a main player so let's see what happens in tomorrow's match.

After a while, the second Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand is taking place. However, batting on the Mirpur pitch will be very challenging. On the bowling front, New Zealand will be relying on the experienced trio of Jamieson, Tim Southee, and Neil Wagner, with Ajaz Patel as the main spinner. They will be looking to exploit the spin-friendly conditions in Mirpur to put Bangladesh under pressure. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be banking on their spinners to make an impact in home conditions. Mehidy Hasan, Taijul Islam, and Nayeem Hasan will be crucial for them as they look to outsmart the New Zealand batsmen. Overall, both teams will be looking to start their World Test Championship campaign on a high and gain momentum.

BAN Vs NZ, Second Test, Dhaka

Bangladesh managed to beat New Zealand by 150 runs in the Sylhet Test and to say the least Bangladesh beat New Zealand in Tests. But will Bangladesh be able to defeat New Zealand in the Dhaka Test like Sylhet? However, Bangladesh is very likely to enter the Dhaka Test today with the squad of the first Test.
In the first Test, every player of Bangladesh made a very good contribution, especially Taijul Islam's performance was like tying the frame. Collecting ten wickets in 2 innings is a record. Moreover, Nazmul Hasan scored a century in the second innings to give the team a good score, another important contribution.
But if they can perform as well as the first Test today and contribute equally, then it may be possible to whitewash New Zealand. Do you think Bangladesh can defeat New Zealand in this test?

The captain of Pakistan team shan masood is good test player, Now see how he perform captincy role against Australia test series. I think the decision of Sarfraz ahmad is playing instead of Muhammad Rizwan is not good because Muhammad Rizwan is outstanding batters and wickets keepers he play spin very well. Sarfraz ahmad didn't play from a while but both played very fast cricket in test and in Australia picth Muhammad Rizwan played so many matches. But the decision of team management will be appreciated according to the team requirements.

BAN Vs NZ, Second Test, Dhaka

Bangladesh won the first test massively. And now is ready to play the second test with New Zealand in Mirpur. The match will start after one hour.
Was thinking that will Bangladesh continue it performance like they performed in the first match.
So Taijul Islam is ready to get more wickets of New Zealand team. Like we saw in the last match he got 10 wickets in both innings.
Najmul Hossain Shanto as a captain is ready to make his century again.
But we can't say anything at this time but Bangladesh is looking stron. So let's see.

[Sithara007]

The second match is also going to take place in a ground (Shere Bangla National Stadium) that can be considered as very supportive for the spinners. Given this, I don't think that there is much of a chance for a New Zealand victory. Anyway, their spinners (Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi) failed to take wickets at regular intervals during the first match and leaked too many runs. I believe that it will be good for the Kiwis to include Mitchell Santner in the playing XI for today. Either Ajaz or Ish needs to sit out as their form is not good.

The last time the Pakistan test match was held was in July. Now finally test has come so that's why we are excited by the way, By the way, the match started too early according to Pakistan time so they will have some overs already by the time the Pakistan nation wakes up to support them but this is a test match, we have 5 days to see the match.
By the way, Pakistan never won any test match with Australia in Australia.

Zakir Hasan wicket keeper Batter
Mushfikur Rahim wicket Keeper batter
Nurul Hasan Wicket Keeper batter

Both of Bangladesh can be kept as wicket keeper batsmen but Zakir Hasan did not do much as a batsman in the first Test. Is it reasonable to include him in the team in today's Dhaka Test? An all-rounder should have been included in the squad instead.

Why I haven't seen a better performance from Zakir Hasan yet. His performance in every match was poor. And he failed to play big innings. Zakir did not play well in today's match as well. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat. And they lost the first wicket by 29 runs. Zakir Hasan got out after collecting 8 runs off 24 balls. Zakir should bat more responsibly. It is not desirable to lose wickets so quickly in Test matches. Without a good start from the opening pair, it will be a tough task for the team to collect big.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. Bangladesh is in some early trouble. After winning the toss, they thought that it will be another cakewalk for them. But things turned out a bit differently. Mitchell Santner, who was included in the playing XI after getting dropped for the first test has already proved his worth by picking up the wicket of Zakir Hasan. Mahmudul Hasan Joy was nabbed by Ajaz Patel. Glenn Phillips will act as the third spinner for New Zealand. There are indications that Bangladesh has prepared another minefield, with undue advantage for the spinners.

Bangladesh also lost their second wicket. I didn't think the team would face such a disaster after winning the toss and deciding to bat. But this is not unexpected from a team like Bangladesh. We have been seeing the poor performance of Bangladesh's openers for a long time.

Joy scored 14 runs and Zakir only 8 runs. If the openers are batting like that, how will Bangladesh collect big. The pitch is not batting friendly. Mirpur's pitch is always spin friendly. This is why Bangladesh captain won the toss and took the batting. But they are losing wickets quickly when they come down to bat.
Bangladesh also lost the wicket of Mominul. Bangladesh lost three wickets for 41 runs. Mominul is an experienced batsman. Even then he could not play well. Now Bangladesh's innings will depend on Shanto.

[Haunebu]

The surface in the second match seems to resemble the one in the first match implying that it's favouring spinners quite nicely. Taijul Islam took advantage of it in the first one while the kiwi spinners like Santner and Ajaz are taking advantage of it in the second one.

Bangladesh are on the backfoot already. They need to reach 200 at the very least to make the match competitive.

Captain Najmul Shanto also could not play a big innings. Bangladesh lost their fourth  wicket by 47 runs. Bangladesh will not be able to collect 200 runs today. In the first match they got a good win against New Zealand. And so we had high expectations from the team in the second match. But just when you expect a good performance from the Bangladesh team, this team  disappoints us. Bangladesh will lose all wickets before collecting 200 runs. And there is no chance of such a bowling friendly pitch being a draw. New Zealand will win this match by a big margin.

Today 2nd Test match of Bangladesh vs New Zealand team has already started.Bangladesh team came out to bat.They scored 47 runs in 18.1 overs.Now Bangladesh team is under a lot of pressure losing 4 wickets.Mahmudul Hasan Joy is out for 14 runs off 40 balls.  Zakir Hasan is out for 8 runs in 24 balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto is out for 9 runs in 14 balls. Mominul Haque is out for 5 runs in 10 balls. New Zealand team is starting to perform well in the bowling line. It seems that Bangladesh team will score more runs today.  can't

In fact, I don't understand why the team selectors of Bangladesh make such mistakes again and again. Zakir Hasan should have been removed after his poor performance in the first Test but instead he was given a place in this Test as well and as usual he did as bad as before. If Bangladesh can get off to a good start in the opening pair then the next batsmen get a chance to do well but Zakir Hasan has not done well in Bangladesh's opening pair so far. So as a Bangladeshi and supporter of Bangladesh, it is definitely expected from the Bangladesh team management to remove him and place him in the lower teams and from there perform well and get him back in the national team.

[Out of mind]

Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2nd Test match, Bangladesh is in batting form and New Zealand team is bowling. We have seen that the first test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand was great and there Bangladesh won brilliantly against New Zealand. And even today I think Bangladesh will collect a good run in the second test on the first day and Bangladesh will be able to give a big lead to the New Zealand team.  If Bangladesh can score more than 350 runs on home soil today, then they will surely be well ahead against New Zealand on the first day. Although the New Zealand team did not play very well in the first test match, we can say that they might lose against Bangladesh in the second test match. Right now Bangladesh team has collected 76 runs by losing 4 wickets, so Bangladesh will not be able to collect very good runs in today's match like in the first test. I think if the game can't build a partnership from now, then definitely Bangladesh team will not be able to give New Zealand a lead of more runs on the first day.

[synchronym]

Tiger captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto won the toss and decided to bat in a mission to win the series. Bangladesh team is under a lot of pressure after losing four important wickets within 50 runs. Test match Bangladesh batsmen should have played patiently. Bangladesh's current score is 74 runs for 4 wickets. Mushfiqur Rahim and shahadat Hossain have to bat responsibly. If Mushfiqur Rahim and shahadat Hossain can build a partnership of 100 runs, then the batting of the Bangladesh team will be a little less stressful. Now let's see how many runs New Zealand can lead in Bangladesh at the end of the first day.
