Anyone following the Vijay Hazare Trophy? There are quite a few interesting matches ongoing today. Sikkim managed to get to 236/7 against Mumbai (one of the strongest Indian domestic teams). Ashish Thapa made 79, before being dismissed by Shardul Thakur. Apart from Thakur, the Mumbai bowling side also had Tushar Deshpande, Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian in the XI. But the big news is that Bihar made a record 574/6 in 50 overs against Arunachal Pradesh. Vaibhav Suryavanshi made 190 from 84 balls. He got support from Ayush Loharuka (116) and Sakibul Gani (128).

Isn't it hard to follow this tournament unless you are a local viewer and have an interest in these matches?

There are so many teams and so many matches being played on a daily basis, makes it challenging to go through all of them. Also, there are some extraordinary scores where one team scores in excess of 300+ runs and the others team find it hard to cross even a 100 runs

This series will be easier for Indonesia because they have victory 2 matches and going forward they will play well and make good use of their hard work and effort and become stronger and more successful. Indonesian batsmen are giving suitable targets, that is why they are succeeding because of their hard work and efforts. Apart from that they are also very tough in their bowling due to which they are playing successfully. Their target in this match was not that high because the target of 141 runs was not that strong or weak, but their bowling tried and victory by 3 runs. Taking wickets in the bowling of both these teams did not benefit them much, but they focused a lot on stopping the runs, so this match became enough interesting. Indonesia should continue to play well like this, their strength will get good.

In this third T20 match, the Indonesian team completed this match 15 and five times because the target they were given was 112 runs. 112 runs in this over can be achieved quite easily. The Cambodian team did not achieve this target in this match or in which they were given the first number, which put a lot of pressure on them from bowling and they could not perform well. Taking advantage of this, the other team bowled very hard on them and their team would have had a hard time setting this target, but their team should have focused more on bowling and made the fielding a little stronger and better so that the other team would have been a little confused and under pressure and they could not easily complete the target they had been given, but nothing like that happened. When the players of the other team came out to chase this target, Anjar Tadarus helped a lot in achieving this target and his team  At the same time, these player-of-the-match were also made

It's challenging because the BCCI is not broadcasting 90% of the matches. Nowadays, even club-level matches in associate countries such as Netherlands are getting streamed online in YouTube. And the richest cricket body doesn't have any interest in streaming the first-class matches in India. As a result, fans will never get a chance to watch Bihar scoring record total of 574/6. I believe this is the highest ever List A total in an innings. But all we have is a few photos from the match, as it was not telecasted live. All that said, most of the matches have been entertaining so far.

In the match between Diasqua and Pakistan HKG in Hong Kong Premier League Two-Day match, Pakistan HKG trail by just 9 runs at the end of day 01. Diasqua Little Sai Wan could only make 158 runs. Although Aarez Dar and Mohammad Ibraheem had a good partnership but the batsmen followed them could not sustain that good start.

Pakistan Association of Hong Kong also had a bad start but Tariq Nawaz Malik and Yasim Murtaza have put the team in a little better position. Tariq Nawaz is still not out at 59 and he can play a key innings tomorrow to give Pakistan a good lead.

In this test match,l both the teams are not very strong, so the DLSWC batsmen could not score many runs and the test match was such an easy target which is easy for the PAKHKG batsmen and they will really succeed after a few balls. Because of these two batsmen this target was achieved, otherwise the target was only 100 runs from their batsmen while they had extra overs in which they could have made a good and strong target, which would have made the match interesting and enough impressive. If you look at it, they have played poorly in the wickets, their batsmen have lost 5 wickets and they have played 36 overs and they will achieve the target with a little effort. They should make this a good and strong target for DLSWC in the second innings in the next 5 wickets which will make their victory even easier.

Super Smash

Auckland were batting first, their top order did not provide any essential start to the team as Simon Keene got out on 8 while Martin Guptill on 3 runs. But Dale Phillips somehow played a valuable innings, with multiple fours and a single six.

If we talk about the middle order, Bevon Jacobs and Lachlan Stackpole back to back smashing the boundaries, and they proved to be the key players in the team and due to their effort the team reached up to 200 runs. The good thing that I noticed was that they were playing fast, not wasting the balls regardless of the early wicket loss.

In 2 day of test game of Hong Premier League series, Pakistan Association vs Diasqua game, Pakistan Association team won toss and got chance to chose field and batting first and they gave first batting lineup to Diasqua team. Diasqua batsmen in 1 st turn performed very poorly and they made 158 runs in 1 st turn. Nasrulla and Ehsan bowling effort was brilliant and Ehsan bowled out 4 wickets and Nasrulla took down 5 wickets in 17 overs  and gave 64 runs. But Pakistan Association team is more strong than Diasqua and he chased 158 runs and lead by 65 runs in 1 st turn. In 2 nd turn, Diasqua batsmen improved but they were only able to make slightly more runs than in 1 st turn. Tariq missed century in 1 st turn but his runs and effort was very helpful for team and he scored 91 runs in 134 balls and hitted fourteen 4s. Yasim bowler helped Pakistan Association team in 2 nd turn and he took down 2 wickets in 10 overs and gave 34 runs. Yasim also earned player of game award because his effort and contribution in full game was very outstanding. Game was drawn and Pakistan Association team won game on 1 st turn.

Today was the first match of Burger King Super Smash League and this match was not played to its full potential.Of course the openners could not work hard but still the rest of the batsmen performed well and scored 201 runs in 20 overs which is a big aim.Bevan Jacobs scored 55 runs off 31 balls for his team but Aucklands hard work went in vain for some reason meaning that the match was not played to its full potential.I think if the match had been played to its full potential Auckland would have probably won because it can be inferred from the bowling of Northern District that their batting line would also be weak because the Northern District bowlers could not stop Aucklands score despite taking wickets.

There was no result in the first game of Super Smash. Both the teams got free 2 points and it is the most valuable points. I think because every teams wants to have a good start in the season.

However, if we talk about the Auckland innings, they scored 201 in the loss of 8 wickets and I think this 200 was terrific score and they deserve to win this game but when it was the turn of Northern Districts bat, rain stops the game and the match was drawn.

Today match was between Northern Districts and Auckland, which was their first match. In this match, Auckland team also batted first in this match of 20 over, in which they scored 201 which was a very strong score compared to the other team, because the team scores up to 150 or 170 in 20 overs. If you look at their performance, it was really amazing, but the result of this match could not be achieved because after their batting it suddenly started raining and the match was abandan due to which the other team did not get a chance to bat, so their team showed a very good view of their performance in this match. Bevon Jacobs performance and score were better than the rest of the players in his team, which was 55 runs. Even if the other team had taken to bat as soon as the situation was in their bowling it did not seem that the Northern Districts team would win because their bowling was very bad, due to which the pressure had already built up.  Anything could have happened.

Bangladesh Premier League is also enough good because the teams involved in this league are playing enough well and strong but the victory goes to only one team so the efforts of other teams will not be considered less. Today too a similar match is being seen Noakhali Express batsmen played enough well but I think if they had made a little more effort they could have given a stronger target in the match which could have increased their chances of victory. Apart from this their bowlers are also trying to make an easy victory for themselves in the match. But their bowling is not that tough because Sylhet striker batsmen will have to score 45 runs in 40 balls so I find it difficult for Noakhali Express to enough. The interest in this match is here and if Noakhali Express bowler changes the course of the match then this strength will be affected a lot.

SA20 2025/26

SA20 to start in the next few days, the first game will be on 26th December between Durban's Super Giants and MI cape Town. Last year Mi Cape Town leading the point table by having 35 points and at the same time they were the champions of the previous season so hoping best for this season too.

They should began with the end in mind, then it may result good, all is about mindset. Since 2023, Durban's Super Giants were dominating to MI Cape Town until the last year in 2025, they finally beat them.

In the SA20 Joburg Super Kings defeated Pretoria Capitals by 22 runs. Joburg Super Kings opens inning first with Faf du Pleasis and Matthew De Villiers but both the openers don't give a positive start to the team and De Villiers scores only 13 runs and also Du Pleasis lost his wicket early on 2 runs and in middle order Rilee Rossow played a well inning of 48 runs and also Wian Mulder played a well knock of 43 runs and at the end of the innings Joburg Super Kings set a very good total of 168 runs. Pretoria Capitals opens inning with Will Sameed and Bryce Parsons and both the openers give a very positive start to the team and Bryce played a well knock of 41 runs and also Will Sameed scores 34 runs but after opening players the team is panicked but Roston chase put some efforts in the innings by scoring 15 runs and also Kasev Maharaja scores 12 runs and Capitals don't chase the target successfuly and scores only 146 runs and Joburg Super Kings won the game by 22 runs.

Yes you are absolutely right Northern District got 2 points without any difficulty while Auckland team showed a very great performance.If the match had not been stopped due to rain Auckland should have won this match because their batting line was very great and judging from that their bowling could have been good too.The first match of the super smash passed without any result which Auckland team will be very sorry about because despite their hard work both teams got equal lead. Looking at Aucklands innings it is clear that they will give a tough competition to the other teams because they have great batsmen and bowlers.

You are absolutely right. This competition has started recently and so far just first four matches have been finished. In these matches, we have seen some thrilling fight among squads. Today, two more matches were completed, first match was finished among Dhaka Capitals and Rajshahi Warriors squads and other match was completed among Sylhet Titans and Noakhali Express squads. Noakhali Express squad was begun fourth match with batting and batters were managed to collect 143 scores. Their top order batters did not support squad in good way and put squad under burden. Thanks to Khaled Ahmed bowler from Sylhet Titans squad and he picked up 4 wickets and played crucial role in victory.  Parvez Hossain Emon was top scorer of this match and he played wonderful inning and collected 60 scores and Sylhet Titans squad emerged victory with 1 wicket.

WELL team won toss and they got chance to choose batting and bowling lineup first and they gave batting line to CD team. CD team set 188 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Dane missed century but his effort was very helpful and mind blowing,  he made 95 runs in 53 balls and hitted eleven 4s and four 6s. WELL team played 1 st game of this series very poor and first bowler bowled very poor and in batting,  batsmen failed to chase runs and lost game by big margin 46 runs. Tom made brilliant half century 51 runs in 28 balls and hitted five 4s and three 6s but all his effort was useless and other batsman batted worst and made few runs. Ajaz bowler helped a lot team and he bowled out 4 wickets in 4 overs and gave 21 runs.
