ODI match between Nepal and Kuwait postponed due to rain. But I think Nepal would have secured the victory in the match, because Nepal is ahead of Kuwait in performance and probably the practice of cricket in Nepal started earlier. Hopefully the rain will stop and the game will resume.In this match between two teams today Kuwait has decided to declare after winning the toss. Now Nepal is batting.

Nepal's score is now 141 with the loss of 3 wickets. If the Nepalese team can keep their wickets and stretch the batting then Nepal will almost be assured of victory in this match. Unfortunately, the match has already been delayed due to rain. I will favor Nepal team in this match as they have been performing very well in recent times and they provably win in today's match if it is resumed with the proper time.In this match between two teams today Kuwait has decided to declare after winning the toss.

If this target was 20 more runs I don't think Pakistan would have got the win. This was the first match of the ODI series. So, Pakistan will have to be consistent. At least it feels like the batting problem of Pakistan is getting fixed.
Even if the target set by New Zealand was above 300 runs Pakistan would have chased the score and won the match because they won the match with 9 balls left and Mohammad Rizwan still left in the crease and he could chase any total as they would pace the innings accordingly. Pakistan is a strong team because of the home advantage and New Zealand needs to produce outstanding performance to win against Pakistan in their home turf.

The match between Nepal and Kuwait in the first semi-final of the ACC Men's Premier Cup should start within the next 1.5 hours. Very crucial match for Nepal. They have never qualified for the Asia Cup, and this is a golden opportunity for them to do so. Kuwait is a relatively weak team and it won't be too difficult for Nepal to get over them. On top of that, the Nepal players, especially Sandeep Lamichhane, Rohit Paudel and Kushal Malla are in great form. The final is going to be tough, as they will be facing the winners from Hong Kong vs United Arab Emirates in the second semi-finals.

Nepal have its home ground advantage, lets see how teams are making use of the golden opportunity. In the match between Hong Kong and UAE, it looks like UAE is the favourite.A very important match for both teams.

Pakistani team is unpredictable at any format of cricket, they will lose match against a weak time but at the same time they has ability to brutally punished any big team like Australia, India, england etc, so underestimating Pakistan team will worth too expensive.
This unpredictable nature of the Pakistan team may be good for the team itself as it can beat any strong team on a given day but they can also lose to any small team anytime. This is why betting on cricket matches in which Pakistan is playing is very risky and sometimes the unpredictable nature of the Pakistan team becomes a nightmare for the gamblers betting on the match.For example, based on the Pakistan performance in this match, we can bet on the Pakistan team in the next match to be the favorites but then the risk is too high as the Pakistan team is unpredictable and if they lose, we shall lose our money
. Taking this into account, if we bet on NZ, then what if Pakistan played their naturally good game and did not lose, and we again lose money 
Betting on Pakistan's win is very risky. It is impossible to predict when this team will perform well. Pakistan's team squad is very strong. I would say they have a lot of talented players in their squad. But the performance of the players is completely erratic. Especially it is not possible to make predictions about the performance of their batsmen. But the performance of their bowlers is quite good and regular.
Oh common on, aren't we giving this tag of "Unpredictability" to Pakistan more often than needed
Whenever Pakistan perform well, instead of appreciating them we start saying that they are unpredictable and this win is once in a blue
moon. We forget about the performances but only focus on the Unpredictability nature of the team
When the Pakistan team loses a match, we say bad words to the team (which is right) but at the same time we blame that it was the unpredictable nature of the team that make them lose the match.
The fact is that the Pakistan team or any other team can't win all the matches and can't lose all the matches too Or can they
They will win some matches due to good performances and lose some matches due to bad performances.
It is common to have difference of opinion with different users, everyone can't be expected to have the same mind thoughts. Human minds always try to find the wrong than the right things happening around.
Pakistan team having inconsistency in performance is real as the team used to be highly depending on specific players. When such scenario changes, automatically people will have better belief over the team.
If the match is played against a smaller team, then we can't use such statements that Pakistan used to be unpredictable. Now both the teams are equally strong a myself too believe the win will be unpredictable.

Pakistan team got a great win against New Zealand in the last match. And the performance of almost every batsman in the team was outstanding. The two openers Fakhar and Imam started the innings well. And Pakistan won because of the excellent batting by Babar and Rizwan.

New Zealand team also tried well. Daryl Mitchell also made century. And Will Young also played well. But unfortunately the luck was not in the favor of New Zealand team.
Really well played Pakistan.

Pakistan is surely going to take part in the world cup right? Otherwise, they will be causing problems for only themselves. They are not in a situation where they can say that they are self-sufficient by themselves. They are not in a situation like India. I don't see them actually not performing in the world cup. They don't have any option other than participating.
Let's talk about this series now. Pakistan has certainly started well. But at the same time, I think we all can also see the lacking in the gameplay of Pakistan. Pakistan will have to do better in Bowling. Otherwise, they will face more difficulty trying to win in the next match.
There is no confirmation from PCB till now that whether they are participating in ODI world cup or not. This decision of going to India for ODI world cup is different and is way above monetary gain or loss. Already there is hint from PCB chairmen that we are ready to bear 3 million USD loss if Asia Cup is not held in Pakistan rather then moving it to some neutral venue. Elections are coming in Pakistan and no government will do such daring move of sending Pak team to India. Let's talk about this series now. Pakistan has certainly started well. But at the same time, I think we all can also see the lacking in the gameplay of Pakistan. Pakistan will have to do better in Bowling.

I believe it is high time for Pakistan to change certain rules in the constitution. Because a government is not going to be able to do a good enough job if the government is always thinking like he might not have the power tomorrow.
I don't think we have ever seen a Pakistani president completing his full quota of power after Muhammad Ali Jinnah died. Pakistan army officials are also taking full advantage of everything. A country will not be able to improve and go ahead if the government keeps changing every 3 years. Because of the political instability Pakistan is suffering through much as a country and the cricket of Pakistan is also suffering.

Pakistan won the match. And they won quite easily. Due to the responsible performance of the top order players, it was possible for Pakistan to win the match. Fakhar Zaman scored 117 runs, Babar Azam 49, Imam Ul Haque 60 and Rizwan 42. Pakistan's batting line-up mainly depends on the performance of these batsmen. If Fakhar Zaman, Babar and Rizwan did not perform well, Pakistan would have lost badly in this match. If the top order batsmen Fakhar and Babar do not play well in the next match, then Pakistan will not be able to collect big. In the T20 series too, we saw erratic performances from the Pakistani batsmen.
A fantastic start to the ODI series for Pakistan vs New Zealand! Their batting display was simply amazing. While Fakhar Zaman played an incredible innings to lead Pakistan's chase, but unfortunately couldn't finish the job himself. Nevertheless, Pakistan should be pleased with their batters performance as they registered a smooth victory in the series opener. But, it's crucial that they need to maintain their momentum and stay focused for the remaining matches. This Pakistan team has shown that they have the batting talent and there's every reason to believe that they can seal the series. Pakistan is surely going to take part in the world cup right? Otherwise, they will be causing problems for only themselves. They are not in a situation where they can say that they are self-sufficient by themselves. They are not in a situation like India.
