London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles

London Spirit batted first and made only 96 runs. Excellent bowling by the Oval Invincibles team, who destroyed the London team's batting lineup. Adam Zampa took 4 wickets while Tom Curran and Sam Curran took 2, and 3 wickets respectively. London spirit team failed to make big score they could not save their wickets and nobody play long inning All credit goes to opposite team who destroyed their batting line and put pressure on batsmen from start of the innings. Oval Invincibles team easily chased the target with loss of only one wicket Jordan Cox played 61 runs inning on just 30 balls which help their team to win this match by nine wickets overall brilliant performance by Oval Invincibles in both fields batting and bowling and they were top in points table of The Hundred men's league

In Men side, both squads do not have any competition among them because Oval Invincibles men squad is present on top one ranking and just faced defeat in one match and on other side, London spirit men sqaud faced defeat in 6 matches. London Spirit sqaud have good members in their sqaud and also experience players but I don't know why they not perform well in this competition. London spirit squad managed 96 scores as a Defeating target and no one batted good from LS squad side. Most of batter wickets was picked by Zampa and Tom Curran. Tom Curran wiped out 3 wickets off 15 deliveries and Adam Zampa cleared out total 4 wickets off deliveries. In just 63 deliveries Oval Invincibles squad emerged victorious by completing total scores of London Spirit sqaud. Will Jacks this time was wiped out in start of their inning just collecting 2 scores but other Dawid Milan and Jordan Cox both security victory but displaying strong performance and collecting 29 and 61 scores respectively.

Finally some excitement in The Hundred. 49 required off 20 balls, Pollard on strike, hits 5 back to back sixes to Rashid Khan who is one of best bowlers in T20 cricket, putting match in Brave's hands. Pollard getting run-out created doubts if Brave's will win the match, but they did eventually.

That was a poor performance match and Southern Brave team chased the target in last over. Brave team best player was Kieron Pollard who built 45 runs . I think Pollard should finish this match but Pollard was run out due to his own mistake. That was not entertaining match because we saw no big and long sixes in this match . We enjoyed only batting of Pollard when he hit long long 5 sixes. When he out then his team could lose this match but Chris Jordan played well and handled the situation with mind.Chris Jordan also played well in this match because he gained 3 important wickets in this match. I am big fan of that bowler . I observe that player against Pak few years ago,he did super over and gave only 3 runs and after that I am a big fan of him.

Yes this was the super amazing game of Hundred Men Series between SB team and TR team. Pollard effort was total mind blowing no other batsman of their team played good only two opener batsman both Vince and Davies scored same runs 28. Target of TR team was also not good and only made 126 runs in 100 balls by losing 8 wickets. If Pollard did not Hit 5 big shots long sixes their team definitely lost this game because after pollard dismissal. Back to back SB team wickets dell down and they won this game by only 1 ball left and two wickets. Pollard made 45 runs in 23 ball and hitted two 4s and five 6s. Congratulations SB team for win this difficult game and I really enjoyed this game as well Pollard sixes.

The Hundred

#26 London Spirits vs Oval Invincibles

Invincibles alike performance from Oval Invincibles, Spirits crumbled after losing the second wicket at 40 runs and got all out at 96. Zampa took 4 wickets including crucial ones of Hetmyer and Russel.

Spirits managed to get only one wicket while defending the meagre score but it was great catch from Russel (of Will Jacks).

On irrelevant note, Tom Curran reminds me of Dale Steyn somehow, not the bowling but face and hair style.

#27 Northern Superchargers vs Manchester Originals

Originals batted first — Salt completed the second fastest fifty in the league with 17 balls, nothing worth saying from other batters, they kept falling without any substantial addition to the scorecard while Salt being the spectator at the other end, himself eventually falling at 61(28).

Superchargers suffered early blows while chasing, raising questions if they will be able to complete the chase but Nicky P had other plans and he completed the chase largely single handedly (with some early support from Brook).

LS batsmen scored only 96 runs in a 100 ball innings given an easy target due to the poor perform of their batsmen and the loss of wickets.  Yes you are absolutely right if they don't do it the LS batsmen could have given a good target.  But the bowler of the opposite team took wickets with really brilliant bowling and stopped and took it easy.  How could they play long innings when there was so much pressure and pressure on them and really all the credit goes to the opposition team.  Because the batsmen have fulfilled the target with good perform and fast pace and the bowler has also fulfilled his task with full effort.  Their batsmen have achieved the target and scored runs and lost 1 wicket taking care of each other.  Yes, this batsman perform was very good, even if he did not give such a perform there were other batsmen who could have achieved this target.  Because the target was only 96 runs and there were extra balls behind.

Adam Zampa is best spinner. He gained four important wickets in this match and and he gave only 17 runs. He is famous due to that kind of bowling and millions of people like him due to that kind of effort. He always did well for the team and that's why he is important part of Australian International cricket team and without him there is a gap in Australian team and that gap will not fill any person.  We expected that there will be competitive match but we were wrong because only OI team was dominant in this match and we saw one sided match from start to end of match.  LS team top scorer was pepper who built 27 runs but after that no batter could stay on Wicket and all team out by builting 96 runs.

Speen Ghar Tigers team failed to chase the target they could made 148 runs Bahir Shah with 38 runs top scorer from speen ghar team their players could not make big partnership and pressure increased on batting side. Excellent bowling performance by Band-e-Amir Dragons bowlers AM Ghazanfar and amir hamza took 3, 3 wickets and won this match by 19 runs all credit goes to their bowlers who destroyed Speen Ghar Tigers batting line up and pit pressure on them by taking wickets early No doubt Band-e-Amir Dragons showed excellent performance in both fields of batting and bowling

[N.O]

The whole tournament was very interesting to finish and many big players participated in this tournament made this tournament more interesting. But now this tournament was completed and final game of tournament Global T20 Canada 2024 was quite boring and disappointing because this final game was completely one sided. Montreal Tigers made hard work in whole tournament and played matches with determination and spirit hut they could only made a low record of total  96 runs and their their batsmen played their inning under pressure of this big final  game when their main wickets was dropped fastly. On other hand TON team showed full energy and amazing gameplay in both side bat and ball. Their team easily chased down low runs record and win the by 8 wickets. The best performances was showed by Jason Behrendorff and Romario Shepherd, both played a key role in final game victory. Congratulations to Toronto Nationals for becoming champions of this tournament.

#28 Trent rockets vs Birmingham Pheonix

Rockets lost early wickets, but partnership between Imad-Alshop helped them make crucial runs, not as fast as one would like, but crucial nonetheless and they gave total of 118 runs at end of inning.

From Birmingham's bowling side, Southee took 5 wickets from 20 balls and conceded only 12 runs, so far best stats in men's hundred.

Pheonix chasing, Duckett gave them a good start, eventually falling to Luke Wood, Wood quickly took out Jamie Smith too which put Pheonix under pressure for some time but Livingstone and Bethell brought them to the winning shore with 7 balls remaining.

That was low score match and we all expected good match but Montreal Tigers team could not perform according to our expectations. Montreal Tigers team could not stand good total on board and after that we saw easy Chase and Montreal Tigers team lose the match against Ton team because Ton team chased the target in Only 15 overs. That match looked like a normal match because there was no healthy competition in this match.I will give credit of this win to Montreal Tigers all bowlers because they bent the match at the start of match when they took early wickets. They won due to best bowling. If Montreal Tigers team could be successful to stand 150 + runs then match could be competitive but that was not possible in this match.

If you see BEAD batsmen have scored a very good 167 runs in 20 overs.  And it was not easy and their bowler also put good pressure and took 9 wickets and won the match.  Congratulations to him for this win and his performance in this match was very good.  And if you look at SGT, their performance has been very poor.  Their pace looks very slow they should improve their performance and pick up their pace because in the next matches they should be able to achieve bigger targets so that they don't lose in the next matches. BEAD should perform better than before because some time may pressure from the opposition team so they should continue their hard work and struggle and play well and win more matches and  Get to that final.SGT lost the first match and neither side has performed well and they should work hard on themselves and win the match.

England Lions vs Sri Lanka, Tour Match

Today after some time, we will see the match between England Lions and Sri Lanka.  That is a tour match and will finish on 17th August. I think, there are fifty fifty chances for the both teams but initially i thought it would be won by England Lions but after that, I remember the Indian series where Sri Lanka won two back to back ODI matches against India so that is why, I think it will be equal match and an interesting one too.
However we need to be clear that it is not England's original team, these are the Lions of England team but still, they are good players, let’s see what is going to be here. After 1 hour the game will start.

[Nanga Parbat]

Both teams should prepare for every kind of situation because we saw tough match today against BEAD and  BDD teams because match was tie and BDD team won the super over. Bashir Ahmad was awarded as player of the match because he played excellent for his team and gained 2 wickets . BDD team built 179 runs but BEAD team could not chase this target and  BDD team was victorious.Riaz Hassan made half century for the team but I liked that match because we saw healthy competition between players and all players were active in this match . As we know only one team wins the match and in the end BDD team won the match because it was lucky team.

However we need to be clear that it is not England's original team, these are the Lions of England team but still, they are good players, let’s see what is going to be here. After 1 hour the game will start.

The SriLanka team were all out at 139 runs in this inning. This is so much poor performance by them against the England Lions. None of the batsmen was able to play any good knock. Dimuth Karunaratne made 26 runs and Prabath Jayasuriya scored 20 runs. These two are the highest runs scored by the Srilanka team and you can understand it that how bad performace shown by them.
Zaman Akhter took 5 wickets from the England Lions team and it was his day today. Josh Hull also got 3 wickets.



There is other shocking news that Ben Strokes won't be available for the Sri Lanka series due to having torn his left hamstring.
This is bad news for them as he was the England men's Test captain.

In this we can clearly see that TR Women batsmen did not perform well or there was pressure from the opposing team.  Their batsmen did not perform well in the match.  And the target was too low.  And on the other hand the pace of their batsmen does not look good either.  Their batsmen have also achieve this target in 94 balls.  They should speed up their pace to try to reach the target as soon as possible.  TR Women team should also improve their perform if they play with such perform they will lose the match.  Their batsmen should also hit the target as hard as possible and their bowlers should apply pressure and stop the run and try to win the match.  Congratulations to OI Women for their win and may they continue to play better and win matches.
