Sharjah Warrior only made 91 runs against Desert Vipers today. I think Desert Vipers are likely to win this game as they are leading the table and in addition, they just lost a single game. Lost one game out of five played.

If we see the strengths of Desert Vipers, then Mohammad Amir is also a part of Desert Vipers and he is the main reason for what I am supporting this team. Sam Curran is their strength in bowling as he took two wickets today while Alex Hales plays match winning innings in batting and right now he is not out at 15.

[N.O]

The 13th competition game of International league tournament is completed, in this game Desert Vipers played first and made just 139 runs. Desert Vipers openers didn't started well falhar zaman lost wicket at 15 runs then a brilliant partnership b/w Dan Lawrence and Alex Hales. Alex Hales played a highest individual knock of 34 runs by facing 31 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes. Dubai Capitals team showed excellent performance in both fields, in bowling Zahir Khan took three key wickets and Dushmantha Chameera also bowl brilliant spell took three wicket. Gulbadin Naib played brilliant knock by contributed 78 runs unbeaten by facing 51 balls interesting to see 5 sixes in his inning. Dubai Capitals successfully achieved the target and lost just four wickets. I think Gulbadin Naib's excellent knock of 78 runs helped Dubai Capitals to win by seven wickets

MI Emirates batsmen have been playing hard and well to score their runs for which they have lost 2 wickets in 10 overs which is quite low which means their batsmen are playing well.  MI Emirates batsmen have scored 81 runs in the first 10 overs which is going quite well.  Their batsmen can target up to 190 if they play a bit better than that.  Knight Rider bowlers are also trying hard not to take a tough target, so they get another wicket in the next few balls.  MI Emirates batsmen lose their balance due to which they  also lose their third wicket.  I think this match is going to be pretty great as both sides have been working equally hard so far.So anything can happen going forward so MI can be weak in the match due to their mistake which is not for them.

The 14th match between MI Emirates and Knight Rider was played at Zayed Cricket Stadium. Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bowling first. MI Emirates is a strong team and showing amazing strength for winning the match. MI Emirates set a record total runs for 186 runs and Won the match.  Knight Rider chased a total runs for 158 and lost the match by 28 runs. MI Emirates  and Knight Rider both are good teams, and they both played well in the match but Knight Rider played bad in this match and lost. Knight Rider will perform better in the next match and beat opponent .MI Emirates won match  by 28 runs. The best batting performance in the Knight Rider team was by Nicholas Pooran scored 49 runs and 26 balls hitting 5 fours and 2 sixs. They have also made their fans very happy. Hopefully they will continue to play like this in the future.

The match is in progress between Mumbai Indians Emirates and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. This time Deserts Vipers are leading the point table but still I am supporting to my one of the favorite team since years, that is Mumbai Indians Emirates. They also won the previous season.

Right now Abu Dhabi Knight Riders started the chase and they made 30 without loss of any wicket. The chase is in its early stages. Both Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous are started well but they need to bat even better as the target is not an easy one. 186 runs are required and it cannot be chased if the top order fails to perform today. So far so good for Knight Riders. Let's see if they can keep up the momentum.

Yesterday this game was played and DV team still leading table with total 8 points and they played 5 games and one game they lost other 4 they won. MIE and ADKR team played 14 th game and this game was hosted on Zayed Cricket Stadium. In start of game, Knight Rider team won toss and they elected fielding first and gave a bat opportunity to MIE team. MIE team set a target of 186 runs in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. Opening of MIE team is good Perera and Waseem showed great effort, Perera Batsman made 23 runs in 20 balls and Waseem also performed well and scored 38 runs in 35 balls. Pooran also helped a lot team to win this game and he scored 49 runs in 26 balls and hitted five 4s and two 6s. Romaria got a player of game award because his effort was good and made 38 runs in 13 balls and hitted four 4s and three 6s.

Wellington Women vs Canterbury Women

In the 22th match of the Women's Super Smash where we found Wellington Women were facing to Canterbury Women. Wellington was hosting this game that is why they had the home advantage too. Also Wellington women are a stronger team and they stand at the 2nd position after this win. From the start of the game, I found Wellington Women fully confident and came with only one motive to win the game

Talking about the Canterbury Women, they were also confident but after seeing the first innings score, the chances for them were slowly going down. And in batting, they could not perform and lost by 39 runs. Kate Anderson and Jodie Dean failed to the expectation and rest of the batsmen just could not bat. However, despite all this, Izzy Sharp's 50 was a good innings, although her individual performance didn't help much.

Wellington Women outstanding performance assisted the team in leading from the front of the table. Wellington Women won this match by a huge 114 runs against Canterbury Women. Canterbury Women disappointed batting performance scored 94 runs only while chasing down a huge total of 200 plus runs. Wellington Women amazing bowling performance especially Caitlin King picked 3 important wickets by just giving 13 runs in his bowling spell and his economy rate is just 4 runs per over. Nicole Baird also bowled superbly and picked two crucial wickets by just giving 13 runs and limited Canterbury Women under 100 runs.

Eastern Cape vs Capitals, SA20

Sunrisers Eastern Cape gave a reasonable target of 149 runs which was quite good as well as they have strong bowling attack that could defend these runs. At that time, I was not too happy with this target but believe in their bowling and they did not disappointed. Pretoria Capitals top order truly failed to set the good amount of runs, resulting the games dependent on the middle order batsmen. Marques Ackerman and Keagan Lion-Cachet tried to put on a partnership, but it was too late. Sunrisers Eastern Cape got important points from this win.

[Just Say]

The match that took place today in the Bangladesh Premier League was truly an extraordinary match, Rangpur Riders, the strongest team in the Bangladesh Premier League, participated in this match and their opponent was Durbar Rajshahi. However, according to Rangpur Riders' recent performance statistics, this match was more in their favor.

But unfortunately, Rangpur Riders lost in today's match, and by losing in this match, they may have lost their first match in this year's BPL. Durbar Rajshahi players surprised all cricket fans with their performance today, because they were able to win an important match for them today. Maybe that's why everyone calls cricket an unpredictable game, because today Durbar Rajshahi managed to win despite being weak.

The 15th ILT20 match between the Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriors was won by Vipers by 10 wickets. This was another easy win for them.

Mohammad Amir was the player of the game by taking four wickets. However, I think Fakhar Zaman was equally deserving player like Muhammad Amir as he scored 71 in just 39 balls, this power hitting clearly deserves millions of appreciation.

Also, a big event Champions Trophy in just a single month is on the head so Fakhar Zaman is one of the powerful weapons of the Pakistan team and thankfully he is in form so let's see if he will perform the same in the Champions Trophy?

If you look at his target, which was very easy, but because of his strong bowling, this target became difficult.  PC batsmen had an easy win which they could have won but they could only score 97 runs due to pressure and not playing well and would lose the match.  I haven't seen this match but given the target I didn't expect to win this match but their bowling is quite promising which didn't disappoint you and kept you hoping for victory and that's what happened.  It is their own fault that their batsmen have played poorly as they have been taking wickets in haste and have lost by a huge margin of 52 runs.  They should work hard and perform well in the match which will give them strength.

Super Giants vs Royals

Paarl Royals won the match against Durban's Super Giants by 5 wickets. This result was obvious.  You can see the difference between the two teams where Paarl Royals have lost only one game till now while Durban's Super Giants won only one game.

There are some good players in Durban's Super Giants team like Quinton de Kock and Kane Williamson but still they aren’t able to show any good performances. In this match Quinton de Kock  started well, make 43 runs but none other batsmen supported him. 142 runs was all they could get in 20 overs and It was always going to be difficult defending them.

These two teams played another match today but the result was same. Canterbury Women’s lost another match against Wellington Women and it was even worse defeat than the previous match between them.

Canterbury Women’s gave target was 101 and lost 8 wickets. Kate Anderson scored reasonable in the team by scoring 17 runs. She got run out and the other whole team players were struggling to bat. Their batting was not looking in good strength from the start and in addition they could not maintain the run rate. Natalie Cox and Kate Ebrahim tried well to get the strong come back to the team but could not get success in their mission.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be playing against Joburg Super Kings in the SA20 tournament. Both these teams are quite similar in their current positions. Eastern Cape has an advantage that they have won three matches and have also lost three. However the good thing is that they have won the last three matches and they have been in the winning streak.

As opposed to the Joburg Super Kings who have lost two matches but both of these were the last two matches they played. This means they aren't in good touch and low in confidence. They recently lost to Paarl Royals. Jonny Bairstow is their key player as he made 60 runs in the last match and will hope to play well again today.

[Nanga Parbat]

The best match of this league which is being watched today, this match will be very fun to watch for those who are interested in this league, mainly because these teams are MI Emirates and Knight Riders which are both the same working hard. It is very interesting to see both the sides working hard but the first success from MI Emirates is 11 overs and 4 wickets from the Knight Rider batsmen are big achievement. Knight Rider batsmen who are not playing well, if they think to win the match by playing like this then it is a wrong idea as 150 will be the target which will be easy for MI Emirates. Knight Rider's weakness affects me more in this matchup.There are many speculations in this match as to who will win the match because the match has become so intense that it is difficult to predict the victory.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape batting performance is extraordinary in this match set a target of 165 runs in a loss of 4 wickets in first inning against Joburg Super Kings. Sunrisers Eastern Cape is on top position in this match because their bowlers bowl amazingly so far. Joburg Super Kings chasing the target current score is 110 runs in a loss of 3 wickets. Joburg Super Kings needs 56 runs from 30 balls to win this match but their chances of winning this match is low because required run rate cross 11 runs per over. Donovan Ferreira is playing at 5 runs while Jonny Bairstow is playing at 10 runs, this partnership is very crucial for Joburg Super Kings if they want to comeback in the match.

MI Emirates vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Is there anyone here who is watching this competition International League T20 and also watch latest match among MI Emirates squad against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders squad.

If we see table points, there is hard competitive among these squads MI Emirates and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Both are in good position in standing table, MI Emirates squad are at 2nd position and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are at third place. In 17th match, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders squad begun this match first with batting Inning and displayed strong performance with strong scores 182 as a defend. Alishan Sharafu  and Charith Asalanka both expressed good performance with good partnership and collected 32 and 55 scores respect. MI Emirates squad faced a defeat because their batters were unable to achieve huge scores 182 and just collapsed at 140 scores. Kyle Mayers also played significant role to this victory and displaying amazing performance in bowling and picked 3 crucial wickets of MI Emirates batters.

Canterbury Women’s gave target was 101 and lost 8 wickets. Kate Anderson scored reasonable in the team by scoring 17 runs. She got run out and the other whole team players were struggling to bat. Their batting was not looking in good strength from the start and in addition they could not maintain the run rate. Natalie Cox and Kate Ebrahim tried well to get the strong come back to the team but could not get success in their mission.

Wellington Women’s bowlers supported their team by taking back to back wickets, good job especially I would like to mention Sophie Devine effort who even took five wickets and did not let the opponent team batsmen to stand on batting for long time. Also Xara Jetly and Jess Kerr bowled well and did not let the batsmen play. However, Wellington's fielding was very sharp, run out to the main player and the defending fielding leading the team to win. Also leading the table after this win.

In Ranji Trophy, the Plat finals are going on, between Goa and Nagaland. At the moment, it looks like Goa has the advantage, as they got to a first innings lead of 60 runs at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima. Nagaland did well to qualify for the finals, but it looks as if they may not be able to defeat Goa and enter the elite division this time around. C. K. Nayudu Trophy (U-23 tournament in India) is also going on at the same time, with more than a dozen matches scheduled for today.

Desert Vipers innings has just started and they are 29/2 at the end of 4 overs. They need to bat well in order to get to the target else i can see Desert Vipers winning this match too.

Sharjah Warriorz scored a good 151 but I think they are likely to lose the game because Desert Vipers have very good batting by having Fakhar Zaman and Alex Hales in the team. Anyhow, Fakhar Zaman is out on 8 in this match. He made more than 70 runs in less than 40 balls in the last game.

Earlier talking about the bowling of Desert Vipers, Muhammad Amir performed average today and took only one wicket but Khuzaima Tanveer did not let us to miss Amir's spell because Khuzaima Tanveer took 4 wickets, David Payne also put a huge impact in the game by taking 2 wickets.

In SA 20 another match, right now the Paarl are batting and Joe Root played an unbeatable innings of 78, that's amazing. In the last match he scored zero, was out on the very first ball, hence I was not expecting the good performance with him and thinking he would repeat the same but thankfully he is givng boucne back to the team.

David Miller also remained not out and made 29 runs. They ended up scoring 140 runs. Although not much runs, but i think they have a good bowling to defend this score.
