Chennai won the first match of the tournament today. They lost four matches in a row. Today Royal Challengers Bangalore was a tough opponent. But Chennai gave a huge target of 217 runs. Robin Uthappa's unbeaten innings of 95 off 50 balls and Shivam Dube's unbeaten innings of 95 off 46 balls enabled Chennai to give such a big target.
It doesn't look like RCB has tried to win the match. They just wanted to reduce the run gap. Bangalore could have won if the top-order players could have played better. Virat Kohli and du Plessis did not play well today. Bangalore has lost by only 23 runs till the session.

Just heard about the decision from ICC to grant direct entry to the United States cricket team for the 2024 T20 World Cup. What sort of sham is this? The US cricket team doesn't have any native players and all of them are expats. On top of that, they lost out to more qualified teams when they played in the 2021 qualifier tournament. Why the ICC is hell bent on promoting these undeserving teams, when more deserving teams like Nepal and Namibia are being robbed of the opportunities. Now matter how hard they try, the Americans are not going to take cricket seriously as long as there are no natives in the team.
Maybe ICC has made the plan to make cricket well known in European countries. There will be more nation's involvement in cricket if they get the success. Previously I heard that a big cricket tournament will be arranged in near future. This plan will get a green light if cricket gets popularity in European countries. So, there is both positive and negative view of this decision. You have highlighted about the negative sides. We may see the involvement of native American players if cricket gain the popularity there through the T20 world cup.

Yes they are getting direct entry since they are co hosting world cup along with WIndies. The theory is same icc just want to include big powers in the game not the talented one like Nepal and Namibia. In USA I think players are native I guess since USA grant citizenship to anyone who is born there. Many South Asia families are living there for decades. Let's see how USA perform. Actually, we all know why ICC has done this. This is just because of money and also in my opinion in the USA, the sponsors will get better exposure. That's why I think this decision was taken. Because I don't see any other logical reason for this. There were a lot of countries that could host the ICC world cup instead of the USA which has almost no interest in cricket in my opinion. They are more worried about rugby and NBA.

I think that many Indians and Asians live in the United States and it won't be difficult for United States to develop a team containing the Asian players who are used to playing cricket. Anyways if united states start to play cricket then we may see another teams from north and south America showing their interest in this sport.

If usa is sending team like what uae and Oman used to send then it will be of no use for the cricket. We need teams that have proper domestic infrastructure since that setup can produce quality players for future. Nepal team is weak but they have domestic setup which will someday start producing quality players provided icc encourage such countries.

USA takes over almost everything interesting.
I think it is not difficult for them to make the stadium in a few month time. But on the other side I think people too will be very excited to go to states. Should I apply for the visit too if the news is confirmed ?
There is no doubt about this news, here is link for your helpI think it is not difficult for them to make the stadium in a few month time. But on the other side I think people too will be very excited to go to states. Should I apply for the visit too if the news is confirmed ?
https://twitter.com/Macca_Jones/status/1513372293073887234?s=20&t=BPJdD6tpq-dgwosXJGQK_g
I am also very excited about this news now after having this confirmed news feeling good because this is good opportunity for many to have their chance for applying to this great country.
If this has some better result then surely cricket could be also in good limelight for better finances because USA is great country for opportunities with his best sports system around the globe.
Is this joke or something that USA will host the ICC cricket world cup. How can they host a world cup when they have no proper cricket team?
The only reason for this is that ICC want cricket to flourish in the US and they choose the most wired way.
Do you know any cricket stadiums in the US? I have never witnessed any international cricket match being played in that country
I am also feeling, as you already mention, but right now no one can argument about this because it's already done by ICC and they better know how to do this. I have no idea about the USA and cricket because never read or hear any good thing, but few weeks back I check on espncric that they are managing a cricket league and many stars were also involved in this which is good but still big question is they have cricket stadiums for this mega event, and they can manage things like we need in ICC events.The only reason for this is that ICC want cricket to flourish in the US and they choose the most wired way.

Their cricket team is already in talk with few subcontinent players, and they beat Ireland few weeks back in an international T20 match which is also good achievements from their side but still it's really not good decision as they need to check proper facilities and all infrastructure before announcing things like this which helps others as well, and they also try to follow.

Gujrat Titans VS Sunrisers Hyderabad
No one is watching today's IPL match? Today's match is between Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. Gujarat is the most stable team this season. Because their bowling lineup is strong enough and the players are in form. They have played three matches and won all of them. Hyderabad, on the other hand, won one of the three.
Gujarat managed to give a target of 168 runs in 20 overs today. Since Gujarat bowlers are experienced enough. So this is enough collection to fight. If Gujarat can take one or two wickets in the power play, then Gujarat is more likely to win.

Bytheway which team won? Gujrat or Hyderabad? I like Hydrbad more, I would like to watch IPL but my local TV channels does not telecast the IPL and also there are so many teams I am not sure which team will play and who supports which team. I only get updates from this from.

The USA needs to develop a good cricket team that can compete. I'm sure it will be filled with expats. Cricket in North America will benefit from it.

I wish I get a chance to fly there to watch the matches. But you are right how can they host if there is no American team . Point to think on!

At the end of 4 overs, Hyderabad's collection was 11, and at the end of 5 overs, their score stood at 25. Hyderabad has not lost any wicket yet. If Gujarat's bowlers failed to take wickets then victory in this match is not possible. However, now the run rate of Hyderabad is very low. But do not forget the target is only 168. So Gujarat bowlers have to bowl responsibly like in previous matches.No one is watching today's IPL match? Today's match is between Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Edit : After the end of 6 overs, Hyderabad is able to collect 42. Now their run rate is enough good.
After winning three matches in a row, Gujarat Titans lost one match. The main reason for the defeat today is Ferguson's uncontrolled bowling. 616 was enough to win but Gujarat bowlers were able to take only two wickets. Ferguson gave up 46 runs in his 4 overs, which was too much. Mohammad Shami could not take any wicket. We expect better bowling from an experienced bowler like him.

As was widely expected, Ramiz Raja's proposal for a quadrangular T20 event got no further than a presentation to the ICC board meeting, the board deciding such a tournament could not fit into the next rights cycle.
source: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-meetings-ramiz-rajas-quadrangular-t20s-idea-turned-down-greg-barclay-to-finish-his-chairman-term-in-november-1310354I think it was a non sense idea to propose such tournament, keeping in view the current India and Pakistan tense situation. Ramiz Raja is also expected to quit as PCB chairman after regime change in Pakistan.
In 2024, the United States and West Indies will host the T20 World Cup. The US will be hosting its first ever World Cup. It has been confirmed by the ICC that USA will qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup automatically as co-hosts with the West Indies. Hosting was the only way for them to qualify. The USA needs to develop a good cricket team that can compete. I'm sure it will be filled with expats. Cricket in North America will benefit from it.
To be honest, I am really not a fan of these types of things because I think there are a lot of other countries who are trying to do better in cricket rather than the USA.
So, if you want to give a country a chance to progress in cricket by letting them host the t20 world cup I think it should be some other teams like Ireland or any other team.
West Indies is okay but even Sri Lanka could use some of that exposure right now because the cricket in Sri Lanka doesn't look too good at the moment.
But obviously, there comes a problem of the region in that place. Obviously, West Indies and Sri Lanka cannot host a tournament at the same time but I think people get the idea of what I am trying to say.
