Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

Considering the circumstances of the match on the fifth day, it is hard to accept that Pakistan lost by 10 wickets against Bangladesh. 
On the fifth day where the Pakistani batsmen should have been patient and held on to the wicket, the Pakistani batsmen showed a tendency to over-rush due to which they were able to give Bangladesh a few run targets which Bangladesh collected very easily. 

I never thought any of the teams would win the match. I was kind of confident that the match would be drawn because both teams batted really well in the first four days and only 2 innings were played. I thought Pakistan would easily play another day and the match would be a draw. But who knew that Pakistan won't be able to play at least two sessions of the last day and they won't be able to post a good total?

I think almost everyone thought the match would be a draw. Rizwan played well in the 2nd innings but it wasn't enough for Pakistan. They had to post a 300 as a target at least so Bangladesh could try to reach that score.

The 2-innings game took four days to complete and the equation was that both teams would have to complete the remainder of the game in one day, so naturally everyone assumed that the match would be a draw. Chances were high that it would probably be a draw and the chances of either team defeating the other was very low but the Pakistani batsmen could not settle on the wicket on the fifth day and there were more positive points for Bangladesh as Bangladesh batted ahead of Pakistan in the first innings.

All of Pakistan's batsmen were dismissed while Bangladesh were leading by runs, which resulted in Pakistan failing to give Bangladesh a big target, resulting in an easy 10-wicket win for Bangladesh. There were some wrong decisions by the Pakistani captain which we now clearly understand.

I had this in the back of my mind that Pakistan teams are chokers and we could expect the unexpected. How many times we have seen that the Pakistan team lose from the easiest of the situation and won from the most difficult match conditions? Another team from which you can expect a similiar sort of performacen is the South Africans. They are also a very unpredictable team just like the Pakistan team.

It was a historic win for the Bangladesh team and that too on the Pakistan soil. They would remember it for a long long time to get their first ever test win against the Pakistan.

BCCI planted its double agent in the ICC lol

Joke aside, considering his tenure with the BCCI and the work he has done. He raised the bar and many stakeholders will expect more or less the same approach from him in his new role. The biggest one would be solving this Disney Star drama. If not handled properly then the previous media rights deal of the subcontinent ($3.2B) could face some music and it won't be good for ICC and Boards.

No one knows what happened to the Pakistan team and their playing tactics they are named as a choker. Everyone in Pakistan are in a deep worries and concerns about the cricket team and after losing the game pakistan also lose 6 points because of slow runrate and this wil hurt very much in the test championship points table.

To be honest I don't really expect that Banglesh will win in this test match because the first in the first innings Pakistan took a good run at the 446 against that Bangladesh surprisingly took the 565 run but it was also unexpected score in the second innings by the Pakistani team because they got all out in 146 that's worst playing, I will say that if they could make run more likely to the first innings there could be a winning chance for the Pakistan team as well.

Bangladesh team beautifully these tiger batsmen tough food they formed easily, due to proper leadership and good bowling and batting performance Bangladesh tiger batsmen won.  Especially Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Shakib Al Hasan who destroyed all the wickets were aggressive batsmen.  However, the Pakistanis were completely overwhelmed by their bowling, and due to a good batting performance, the Tiger batsmen of the Bangladesh team won the match by 10 wickets in the last minute.

Same I also expected that Pakistan team won this test game between Pakistan team are good team and their players also have good experience and also some good skills. I don't know why they lose this game because of captaincy. B.Azam this player is a great but his effort in overall game was very poor in 1 st Inning he made 0 run and in next inning, he made 22 runs I expect more best effort from this player but he disappointed not me but his fans also. One more thing if they failed to stop the Bangladesh team in 1 st Inning for low runs but they played very very poorly in 2 nd Inning and entire team made only 146 runs and in 1 st, they made 448 runs. I think they lose their hope to win this game if they tried hard in 2 nd game and perform well they will win this game but entire team was lost and they 30 runs to Bangladesh team for 2 nd Inning. Great work Bangladesh team and congratulations to win this game.

The Bangladesh team is leading the series against the Pakistan team in their home ground. The first match has been won by them by chance otherwise in the start of the last day, there was no hope for the Bangladesh team to win it but by chance some how they won this game.

Also, the bowling of Pakistan was not good mainly due to their captain's decision. Naseem Shah can’t even reach to 145 or 150 because he has delivered more than 50 overs per day with a break of just two overs each, that is why he has tired but the captain always decides him to bowl which is not good.
On the other hand, Bangladesh used Shakib to their best approach and he changed the game altogether.

It will be history for Bangladesh to remember for a long time. Bangladesh has never won a Test against Pakistan before Bangladesh got a historic win against Pakistan after a long time. There have been many in-form cricketers before who have tried and come close to winning against Pakistan but we have seen them cry in this victory for Bangladesh. But I would say that Bangladesh has performed much better than Pakistan in Pakistan's home ground and Bangladeshi players seem more confident than Pakistan.  

Mushfiqur Rahim in particular fought alone like a one-man army even though he missed out on a double century by a few runs which would have been complete if his century had been there.

I am very excited to see the only test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand (beginning 9th September) because they both have the old methods means in the World Cup 2024, the Afghanistan team's peak was here in when they won against the New Zealand team and from that lost of New Zealand, their chances has started to decrease to qualify for the super 8s and they have eliminated in the group stages like Pakistan and England (The England was almost out but from somehow they came back through the Super 8s and directly qualified for the semi final as well.) Back to the topic I want to see New Zealand revenge in this test match.

Rashid Khan will not play this test, how much it will hurt Afghanistan
Rashid Khan not in Afghanistan's preliminary squad for one-off Test against NZ

"Twenty players have been selected for the training camp and a 15-member squad will be selected to play the only Test match against New Zealand after observing their performance and fitness," Ahmad Shah Sulimankhel, the chief selector said.

I do not understand this argument that since both countries were the same a long time back, they should have similar problems. Pakistan got independence from India in 1947 and both India and Pakistan were one country before that time. So this should mean that Pakistan and India should have similar problems and performances in cricket too 

Haha. You seem to take it seriously even though I was just kidding. Actually, I saw a meme on Facebook that Pakistan is going to follow the pattern of how Bangladesh collapsed in close matches and there is no doubt that we were part of Pakistan at some point. I was just kidding bro. Please don't take it with a heavy heart. We still love Pakistan and the people of Pakistan.

Nice to see Bangladesh did not declare their innings and got some in the first innings and finally they won the match.

It would have been a stupidity to declare the innings during then. The most possible result was draw of this match. There was a little chance to see different kind of result, and it was depended on the lead taken by Bangladesh. The most surprising part was the batting collapse of Pakistan in the second innings. They should regret for their batting collapse of second innings instead of thinking about the declaration in first innings.

I guess, they did not even think that Bangladesh would be able to score 500+ runs against their Pace attack especially when they are playing on their soil. So, they declared with a hope to restrict Bangladesh Asap but fortunately, that did not happened.

Yes, You are right. Pakistan is unpredictable team  lost a match that was easily won. Pakistan lost the test match when they declared the first inning after 450 runs and didn't complete Muhammad Rizwan double century. I think Shan masood is not a responsible captain they didn't played a long inning in his test match after captaincy and didn't united the team. Pakistan cricket board will be removed from captaincy and out of the team because they couldn't play long innings. The second biggest mistake is Pakistan didn't played a single spin bowler in playing Xi in first test match while Bangladesh playing with his best spin bowler and they win match for very first in history of test cricket against Pakistan.

^^^ There are some updates for the next match between Pakistan and Bangladesh from the Pakistan side.

1 – The first-day entry is free for the students of Pakistan, VIP, Low class what ever they want.

2 – Another green pitch is here in Rawalpindi, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam were checking the pitch today and they understood how to play in this green pitch.

3 – Abrar Ahmed, Aamer Jamal, and Ghulam have been picked for the second test match from the Pakistan team. Abrar Ahmed and Aamer are really good option while Ghulam also has its importance. Abrar Ahmed and Jamal have the greatest history in the test matches.

But I was seeing the victory of Bangladesh in this match because firstly Pakistan is not so strong that they can win the match and secondly Bangladesh was play with good perform and their bowlers were putting a lot of pressure and I was very  I am happy that my prediction has come true.  Yes, but it was not that much better because Bangladesh is not even a weak team to lose a match against a team like Pakistan.  Pakistan batsmen neither play with good efficiency nor with fast pace which is why they lose these matches.  Bangladesh should be congratulate for this win and Pakistan should emphasize their performance.

No one expected Bangladesh to win, to be honest. The Pak bowling was horrible. They conceded close to 600 runs in the first innings, and that too against a weak team such as Bangladesh. Mushfiqur Rahim almost got himself to a double century. None of the bowlers had a good outing, including Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. And it was perplexing to see Agha Salman bowling 41 overs in the first innings (and conceding a total of 136 runs). That destroyed their morale, and then they got bowled out for just 146 in the second innings.

The 2nd test match between England vs Sri Lanka will about to start some hours later at Lord's Stadium in London. In the 1st test match, both team played well. Although Sri Lanka did lower score in 1st inngins, 236 runs only. where England did 358 runs. Later in 2nd inngins, Sri Lanka able to crossed more than three hundred runs gallery but due to lower amount of runs in 1st inngins, england easily surpassed the total Targeted runs and won the match. In the 2nd test match, i can see a possibility for Sri Lanka. Dhananjaya de Silva, Milan Priyanath as well as Kamindu Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal showed good performance. If they can do well again then Sri Lanka can make good amount of runs. Although England already a strong team they also have talent player like Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Joe Root and many more. England has possibility to win but i feel excited for Sri Lanka how they are planning to face England in the match.

Right, No one could even guess that Bangladesh can win this match. If you look at the history of hundreds of Tests in the past, you will never see such a victory for Bangladesh. How easy the match was lost by Bangladesh while this match was completely under the control of Pakistan but we could never have imagined that history will be created by dramatically all-out Pakistan in the last innings. If Pakistan could have spent two more sessions in the first innings then maybe Pakistan could have drawn this match but due to Pakistan's wrong decision this match has to be lost to Bangladesh.

Srilanka Vs England 2nd Test Match

Today is the 2nd Test match between Srilanka and England. They have played two test matches before first was the tour match and after that they played the first test match. And in both matches England showed great performance and they are looking still strong. And I think they will play well in this Test match which is going to start today. Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.

Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.

In my point of view in the last match SriLanka gave a tough time England like we can see SriLankan team played first inning and they made 236 runs. After that England team made 358 runs means gave a lead of 122 runs. And in the second inning SriLankan team played little well and they made 326 runs. Means they gave a target of 204 runs. But here is important thing is that when England was chasing this target so they lost 5 wickets. So that is the point means if SriLanka gave a target of 304 runs so they have chances of winning.
So this means they have chances of winning in today match to. By the way this is too early to guess. So let's wait for the match end

- Free entry won't matter much unless spectators are interested. In the good old days, Pindi used to set the stage on fire with jam packed stadium but it's not the case anymore as far as test cricket is concerned due to various reasons.

- If not wrong then it's the same pitch as the first match and given they finally added extra spinners in the squad gives you some indication about the pitch but again 1st test pitch was supposed to a seam friendly but it turned out to be highway so maybe having a balanced squad won't be bad choice.
