League and Domestic Cricket discussion

It is the time for the final games for the Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars. Four teams named Sri Lanka A Women, Bangladesh A Women from group B while from group A we have Pakistan A Women and India A Women to play the Semifinal rounds, the match is surely going to be the super excited because all the teams are good and equal against each other.

However I think as a supporter of Pakistan and India matches, we may see India A vs Pakistan A women in the final because it always boost the excitement into next level, yeah last time it was one sided but still the scenario is always different for each game.

It is a bit surprising that no one is following the Ranji Trophy semi-finals. The big news from Kalyani is that Jammu & Kashmir has qualified for the Ranji finals (most probably against Karnataka). Auqib Nabi picked up a total of 9 wickets in the match, ably supported by Sunil Kumar (who picked up 7 wickets). After many years of absence, Paras Dogra returned to Jammu and Kashmir to captain the side. Despite being 41-years old, he has been in decent form throughout the tournament. But in the end, Paras will be remembered as one of the best Indian players who never got the opportunity to play for India.

When it comes to India and Pakistan there is excitement because both are enemies of each other due to policics and India is very strong in cricket and Pak team want to make their team strong which is not an easy task for that country. Pak team have to build their team by picking good players for the next games which will be played between these two teams . Pak A team have many good players but they didn't play international match and there is cricket politics in pak and that is reason there is no system in pak . Pak has extreme quality players but there is reference system in pak and many coaches are favouring the players. India has less talent than Pakistan but they have good system and players are picked  from the domestic Level.

Well, almost nobody commented on it, and it was a huge achievement for Jammu and Kashmir. Reaching the Ranji Trophy final is no small feat, you know?

Auqib Nabi destroyed them with those 9 wickets, with good help from Sunil Kumar. And Paras Dogra's return was truly special, even at 41 years old, he led very well.

There's a feeling of injustice that he never played for India. Now we'll see if they can pull off something in the final, probably against Karnataka, we'll see how that goes...

Yes a very good match was played between them and both of them worked hard for their defense and success but Rawalpindi also had a good batting and their hard bowling also support them a lot which gave them victory. Bahawalpur bowler was not given a hard time if they had tried and work hard they could have taken a suitable target which could have been achieve with their good play. The target made with so much hard work was achieve with their good effort and with the same hard work they also tried in bowling and victory by a large margin. Bahawalpur batsmen wasted their wickets in a hurry and were out in the match in 14 overs and lost the match without playing their full innings. Rawalpindi team play very strong and maintained itself with their good effort.

Today Quetta Region and Islamabad region game was played and this game was held at Gaddafi Stadium and this was 10 th game of National T20 Cup Qualifiers series. Islamabad Region team won toss and they selected batting first and gave bowling line to Quetta Region team. ISB team made great progress in batting and their batsmen gave 177 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. But Quetta Region batsman is more strong and they chased down target easily and won game by 8 wickets and 1.1 overs. Bangalzai and Bismillah both batsman performed very well and Bangalzai made 85 runs in 59 balls and hitted eleven 4s and one 6s. Bismillah scored 80 runs in 44 balls and hitted six 4s and five 6s. Khalil and Junaid bowlers also helped team to win this game and Junaid bowled out 2 wickets. Congratulations Quetta Region team won 10 th game.

This was the eighth match of the series, the National T20 Cup Qualifier 2025-26 between the team of Willpindi Regions and the team of Bahawalpur Region. The Rawalpindi Regions team has more points in the table, due to which their team has achieved a brilliant victory in this match as well. When they batted first and started scoring the target, all their players together set a target of 181 runs, in which four of their players were dismissed and the foundation was also quite good. But the other team, which is the team of Bahawalpur, their first player scored 48 runs, but all the other players did not support him at all, due to which they faced failure. If they had performed together, they could have won, but in about 14 overs, all their players were dismissed and their team lost this match by 71 runs.

LOL.. I was not expecting any one to comment on the post. Even in India, the local domestic tournaments receive hardly any attention. That is unless some of the big names, such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma participates in them. And the case with 4-day competition is even worse. Most of the senior players skip these matches blaming heavy workload. And I really doubt whether Jammu-Kashmir could have qualified if all the senior players had represented their state sides. In case of Paras Dogra, he made his debut in 2001 for Himachal Pradesh, and represented them until 2018. After getting dropped from the squad, he joined Pondicherry. He moved to Jammu and Kashmir two years ago, in 2024.

India has less talent than Pakistan but they have good system and players are picked  from the domestic Level.

India A Women is most likely to qualify for the final, right now here is innings break , but when the teams back on the ground I am sure India batswomen just look for boundaries as they used to do almost in every single game. Sri Lanka A team managed to score only 118 runs and it should be difficult for the Indian team to chase it. Some very good bowling by Radha Yadav who took 4 wickets.

Let's see what will happen today in this big game, by the way at night the second finalist will be decided , who will be that team Pakistan or Bangladesh, both teams had an equal good performance in the group stages games.

Rawalpindi Region team played very well inning, brilliant performance they showed in this inning. Haider Ali played well inning he hit 2 sixes and 4 fours in 22 balls. Openers played slow as compared to middle order. On the other hand the Bahawalpur Region team showed very poor and disappointed batting just two players played well remaining other players looked in trouble and they could not face 181 runs. At least they should crossed 150 even if they were losing the match but they did not do this. But credit goes to Rawalpindi Region bowler they bowled outstanding bowling. Mehran Mumtaz took 5 wicket and gave only 12 runs in 3 over. What a mind blowing bowling. Another bowler Mubashir khan took 4 wickets and gave 43 runs in 3.5 overs. I think he gave some runs extra but no worry they bowled well and won the match with a great victory.

This is a series of three games between Pakistan Shaheens and England Lions started today, it has been a long time when both teams faced each other , last time in 2018 , 8 years back we saw couple of games and both of them for England Lions while in 2015 , 11 years back Pakistan beat to English Lions.

However this time the teams are totally different and the competition is going to be really hard for both of them. Pakistan looking good because at the end of 2025, they won the tournament and achieved great things while at the same time this time none of the team can have pitch condition advantage because the matches are being played at Abu Dubai. England Lions won the first game by 4 wickets.

The final of Ranji Trophy 2025/26 will be played this week, between Karnataka and Jammu & Kashmir, at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground. J&K have qualified for the final after many decades. Karnataka on the other hand, is one of the regular participants with several international players featuring in their squad (such as Karun Nair, Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Gopal and Vijaykumar Vyshak). The advantage will be with Karnataka, IMO. That said, I expect Jammu & Kashmir under Paras Dogra to put up a tough fight. The match will be played in 5-day format, and will start on 24th February (Tuesday).

This is owing to their poor performance, if their players had given the target with a better fight, they could have succeeded in winning. This is also a bit of a letdown because the bowler of Shaheen put a lot of pressure on the wickets, owing to which they failed in the match before only 4 wickets were left. If the players of Shaheen had cooperated and scored runs, their target could have been much better and this could have helped them in winning a lot. The players of Lions played very well and could have controlled this win. The players of Shaheen could not give more than the target, which is why the players of Lions achieved this win in 19 overs. Congratulations to Lions on this win, they will have to play in the same way and Shaheen will have to succeed with better performance within themselves.

In this first unofficial T20 match between Pakistan Shaheen and England Lions, Pakistan set a target of 152 runs, which they thought would be enough for their team, but England proved them wrong as they achieved the target in 19 overs and one ball. Pakistan's first batsman Shamyl Hussain made a brilliant opening by scoring 57 and the rest of the team also scored less but this score was not enough to win.Asa Tribe was given a target of 64 run and the performance of the rest of the players was not that special, but still they achieved the target together and won this first match. This match was quite intense between the two. If the Pakistan team had improved their bowling a little they could have won this match because there were five ball left and Pakistan lost the match.

Rawalpindi region won the eighth match of the national t20 cup qualifiers by a huge margin of 71 runs.It was a huge win. Rawalpindi region scored 181 runs for the loss of just 4 wickets which was enough for the win.The best batting was done by Taimur Khan.He scored 18 runs off 8 balls and hit 2 brilliant sixes with his bat.Haider Ali and Mubasir Khan scored 43 and 45 runs respectively.All of them played their important roles to make a strong aim .Bawalpur R wanted to put Rawalpindi region under pressure by strengthening their bowling but nothing like that happened and they were not able to dismiss more batsmen.But Rawalpindi region bowling and batting were both excellent especially Mehran Mumtaz who took 5 wickets with his hard bowling and allowed the team of Bhawalpur R to play only 14 overs.

Rawalpindi Region squad participated in another match but this time they did not perform good. They were unable to defeat their opponent and faced defeat. In Rawalpindi  region against Dera Murad Jamali Region squad,  Rawalpindi region squad was begun match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 158 scores after playing 20 overs inning. Sajjad Ahmed performance in bowling was superb and he played crutial role in victory and picked up 3 important wickets.

Pakistan Shaheen were expected to score a great score but they batted first and scored only 152 runs which was not enough for a win.Shamyl Hussain batted well for Pakistan Shaheen but the middle order batsmen did not handle the game and they lost the first match.If the aim was a little higher then Pakistan Shaheen would have definitely won.Talking about their out they should have bowled more and bowled hard so that England Lions would have been pressured but nothing like that happened.Only 6 batsman of England Lions achieved the aim.Asa Tribe scored the most runs and deserved the win.But still I will advise Pakistan Shaheen to improve their performance and work as a team so that it would be easy to score runs.

Some of the U19 players such as Sameer Minhas could have been included in the Shaheens squad. They all simply disappeared after a stellar performance during the tournament. In case of Minhas, he is yet to make his debut in first class cricket. BTW, his brother Arafat Minhas was included in the playing XI yesterday. For England Lions, Saqib Mahmood and James Coles picked up two wickets each. Saqib has already debuted for England, but the 21-year old Coles looks like a good find for the Poms. He troubled the Pakistani batsmen with his left-arm spin yesterday.

After first defeat, I thought Shaheens squad would make strong comeback in competition and display their best performance. But Shaheens disappointed once again by delivering bad performance and faced another defeat. In second match, Lions squad begun match first with strong batting performance and batters were managed to collect 183 scores as a target. James Coles was top scorer from Lions squad and played wonderful inning with collecting 48 scores. Jordan Cox and Ben McKinney  batters were also built good partnership and both collected 38 and 34 scores respectively. Shaheens batters were fell short and faced defeat by difference 32 scores. Also thanks to James Coles bowler who expressed amazing bowling inning and picked up 4 important wickets.
