League and Domestic Cricket discussion

[Nanga Parbat]

I don't understand why most cricket finals match are one sided. In the final match of the 2024 Major league Cricket Tournament, Washington Freedom and San Francisco Unicorns faced each other for the title fight. Washington Freedom batted first in this match and they gave their proper performance according to their strengths. As a result of which their team was able to collect more than 200 runs, on the other hand, San Francisco Unicorns tried well in the beginning but later turned into a wreck. The SFU team kept losing one wicket after another at regular intervals as a result of which they were all out to collect few runs.

That is game of pressure. In final match , if any team gave 200+ target the that team has 99.9 percent chances of win because they have to play with 10 runs per over and if any bowler gained 1 wicket then there will be more pressure on players and players will lose wickets and they will out out by making few runs. The same situation we saw in the final match of League match San Francisco Unicorns
And Washington Freedom San Francisco . We expected that there will be good match but we saw Washington Freedom
San Francisco team as a dominant team . They applied pressure from thr Start of match and We did not see San Francisco Unicorns team in the match. We are habitual to see that kind of final matches but this trend should be change but that is not in our control because final match is control of nerves and if any team controled on their nerves ,that team will be successful.

Also I think your reason is good, most of the time final are one sided but I think from some where you are wrong because we have the some previous matches history as proof, the full game does not depend on pressure. As  in 2016 when England almost won that final but Carlos hit 4 sixes in the last over and the West Indies won that match against England. In 2019  that was such a suspenseful moment which was won by the England, the game was even went on to the Super Over but England won it. In the last World Cup 2024, South Africa was nearly to win it but Surya Kumar catch built a success for India as well.

I think it is natural, this match is not fixed and naturally, anything could be happen as there we also have one sided final in 2017, when the Pakistan team has no hopes to won the final match but accidentally they won it against India with one-sided match. In 2007, in the Pakistan vs India final, at the last ball, Inzimam ul Haq hit the scoop shot but Ms Dhoni was clever and before that ball, he placed a fielder there where Inzimam hit shot as well. In 2023, the final match was also one-sided for Australia.

Watched highlights of a few matches in Global T20 Canada 2024. This league is unable to compete with the Hundred. Main attractions were Pakistani players such as Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam, but the the PCB threw spanner in their plans by refusing to grant them the No-Objection Cetificates (NOCs). That completely derailed the tournament and now the league is dependent on local and associate players. That said, some of these little known players have performed well. George Munsey of Scotland is among the runs, while David Wiese of Namibia and Sandeep Lamichhane of Nepal have performed well with the ball.

These leagues including Global T20 Canada, Major League Cricket and The Hundred Men's Competition aren't able to grab the attention of the audience globally. I think it is only the Indian Premier League and to the same extent Pakistan Super League that is popular among the audience and people wait for it and love to watch.
The abundance of these leagues will only harm to the league cricket. Fewer the leagues and the interest of the people will remain intact. Also, it is quite difficult to follow these leagues when we have an international matches in progress like the West Indies England Test series (recently concluded)  and the Sri Lanka India Series (ongoing)

In 6th match, The Montreal Tigers team played really well and won the match by scoring a lot of runs with good record.  Their team worked very hard to win this match, and they also appreciated their fans a lot. Hopefully, they will play the next match in the same way and will win next games. Montreal tigers won this game by 10 runs and very tough win for Montreal Tigers team. Montreal tigers made a record of total144/7 and wining the match. Vancouver Knights total cjas d 134/6 runs and lost the match. The 6th match between Vancouver Knights and Montreal tigers  was played at CAA center. Vancouver Knights won the toss and batting first.

Congratulations to Montreal tigers for their upcoming matches.

The sixth match of GlobalT20 Canada which was played in between Montreal Tigers and Vancouver Knights was the amazing match because at the end the both teams was near to win it but Montreal Tigers won this match. In the last over of the second innings when the Vancouver Knights was batting then the last over first two deliveries was good for the Vancouver Knights but later they lost wickets on 19.3 and 19.4 as well, then the Montreal Tigers won this match by 10 runs.

Today we have the match between Bangla Tigers Mississauga and Surrey Jaguars at the Global T20 Canada. First of all, I find the name of the franchise quite odd. They are hosting this league in Canada, and naming a team as "Bangla Tigers" is hardly appropriate. Not an ideal way to attract local interest, I would say. Anyway, they have so far won 2 out of the 3 matches played. Bangladeshi player Shakib Al Hasan has been in good form for them, with another Bangladeshi (Shoriful Islam) performing well with the ball.

VAK batsmen have batted very well but could not win matches due to luck and bowling pressure to reach the level they wanted to reach.  If seen their batsmen didn't get that much target but the way their bowler bowled made the target difficult.  The VAK team must work hard and struggle so that they don't have to face this problem in the end.  They should improve their speed.  If a team loses by 10 15 runs then the loss of that match is very regrettable.  Congratulations to MHT for this win, their bowler stop a lot of runs and took wickets at the end and won the match for their team. Their batsmen should also improve their pace as their batsmen will give tough targets to the next teams.

I think you are right to some extent . Final match is a game of pressure and which team will  handle the pressure,that team will win the match and that will be the winner of tournament. For winning the tournament, luck also plays important role in final match. We saw World Cup of 2019 where we saw some extra runs in last overs. England team got extra runs and when ball striked to the shoe of Ben stokes and then he got 4 more runs . These four runs were turning point in the final. And in Champions Trophy of 2017 , Fakhar Zaman was out on the ball of Bumrah and at that ball we saw no ball and after that Fakhar Zaman played century for  the country and he was match winner of the final.Many more fianl matches we saw in which we saw luck played crutial role in final match and team won due to struggle and luck. I mean struggle plus luck is equal to success.

Birmingham Phoenix playing against Trent Rockets right now. Birmingham are at 76/4 after 60 balls. Trent bowling lineup is quite capable, with players such as Luke Wood, Imad Wasim, Rashid Khan and Sam Cook representing them. So far only Liam Livingstone was able to make a significant contribution. At the moment Trent Rockets are at the top of the points table with 4 points each. A win today will cement their position there and at the moment it looks like they are moving in that direction.

Birmingham Phoenix team gave an average target in this match and target was no big but Birmingham Phoenix team defend the score very well and I liked the captaincy of Birmingham Phoenix  captain because he placed the fielders on right position . He gave the ball to the right person at a right time and he took confidential decisions and I liked his attitude and he is successful captain.  To defend 138 score is not small responsibility to the captain but Moen Ali did excellent job but he could not perform well in this match but his team won,that is enough for him.The bowling of Birmingham Phoenix team played 80 percent role in this match because match was tight and they have to take Wickets of batters and Dan did that work and he got player of the match.

BP batsmen did not give much target in 20 overs but their bowler won the match by 6 runs with very good performance.  And this defeat will be very sad for TR.  Because they have been defeated by 6 runs.  If their batsmen had played with their guts and effort and kept up their pace, 6 runs could easily have been made.  Congratulations to BP for this win and their batsmen need to improve their pace as they should not face any problems in the end and win the match easily.  And make TR better in their performance so that they can perform well in the next matches.BP bowler with his guts stops 6 runs and wins the match.  He has a real role in this victory.

Today we have the match between Oval Invincibles and Northern Superchargers. Invincibles are currently on top of the points table with 4 points from 2 matches. So far the league has been progressing well, despite the fact that it is also overlapping with the County One-Day Cup. Another positive aspect is that the women's matches are also getting a lot of attention. A recent survey revealed that 20% of the viewers focus only on the women's matches and they never watch any of the men's matches.

I don't know much about the perform of these two teams.  Listening to you it seems that NSC perform is good but his perform in this match looks very bad.  Their batsmen need 117 runs off 67 balls.  Which will be very difficult to fulfill.  These SC batsmen have given the target well but their bowler has made this target difficult.  If it continues to press like this it will win matches.  If not their speed is not going to be that fast.  Even if you do not see the result NSC has won the match.  If the spread is reverse it will be an even more interest contest.

London Spirit team chased the target in almost 18 overs but target was not big. I think no team played well in this match and match was difficult for both teams and target should be 150+ but Welsh Fire could not give good target,the reason is that they lose important wickets from the start of match and we saw ni partnership in this match and that is reason behind lose of Welsh Fire. They should work on their mistakes because mistakes are part of game but we should learn from these mistakes and should not repeat mistakes again and again because that is silly behavior and these kind of persons could not become good player.Every player do mistakes but big players learn from their mistakes and they make changing. One should try new things in cricket because they can develop new shots in cricket.
