Rain has hit the game. Hopefully we don't see some overs being cut-off from the match. Destroys the beauty of a T-20 game :/

Long back, I remember some of the Australia vs South Africa ODI matches being played in stadiums with retractable roof. I can't recall the exact venue, but I guess it was either Melbourne or Sydney. If they have such facilities, then why can't they make use of it? The BCCI should also consider this option as the climate change has made it very difficult to schedule the matches. Recently, a large number of matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy were abandoned as a result of rain. The BCCI is a cash rich body, and they can build such stadiums if they want.

Are you talking about these cricket stadium ? There are not many of these in the world yet.

Thanks to Neesham, NZ was able to reach a score of 176..
It was a good game of cricket as New Zealand bowled really well to expose the batting line up of England and level the series, Southee and Santner bowled well and picked up wickets in quick succession and Neesham was the star to take NZ to a good total and they played well as a team to win the match.

Still atleast they have their captain at crease and seems like he has settled down. Azam can score some good amount of runs but problem lies if the batsman on other end will be able to stick with him.

Pakistan was batting really well before the rain delay, the match is reduced to 15 over a side and it will destroy the beauty of the game, if Pakistan can put a good total on the board Pakistan has the bowlers to trouble the Australian line up and with rain it will be tough for the batsman to score boundaries easily.

Yeah Malan really played slow while their explosive batsman like Bairstow and Morgan were out early otherwise it would have been a close match or a win for England.

Thanks to Neesham, NZ was able to reach a score of 176..

Pakistan started the match with worst possible start and lose 2 early wickets. However Rizwan has started playing some positive cricket and lets see if he can continue with Babar. This partnership is important from Pakistan point of view.  Earlier Fakhar Zaman and Haris were unable to face the fast bowling attack by the Australians and got out cheaply.

Oh sorry yeah Pakistan are batting. My bad -_-

NZ this time game England a good target of 177 and NZ bowlers got an early break striking two wickets of England in early phase of game. Also explosive batsman Eoin Morgan is out now. Billings and Malan is on crease. Haven't seen Malan playing T-20 but Billings is capable of delivering a good innings.


NewZealand  played much better today and got a deserving win at Wellington. JDS Neesham made 42 runs in just 22 balls which made the difference in the End. Also England has inexperienced lineup today and NewZealand took full advantage of that.
With this the series is leveled by 1-1 making the 3rd T20 to be the decisive one.



With the bounce back of NZ in second match this has make the 3rd decisive match more interesting for every one for players and also for the entire audience to watch and for the betting people as well because now the rates would change and NZ might be more better than Pakistan.

Very irritating to watch the first T20 match between Pakistan and Australia getting delayed as a result of rain. Pakistan is off to a good start, and they made 88/3 in 12.4 overs before rain stopped play. As usual, the Pakistan top order batted really well, with Babar Azam batting at 43. Mohammad Rizwan made 31 and the partnership between Azam and Rizwan took the Pakistanis to a good score.

The latest news is that the rain has got very heavy and there is little chance of a resumption.

Also in other match - Aus vs Pak, Aus have selected to bat. A good chance to see Pak's bowling early.

Morgan was the one who was scoring and he is out now. I don't know what Malan is thinking, but he was scoring really slow initially when the required run rate is close to 9 runs per over. They need to score at a healthy pace, else the rate can climb to above 10 runs and it may get out of their hands. Now Malan has stepped up, by hitting a few sixes. There is a lot of batting yet to come, so I don't know what they are being so cautious. James Neesham and Mitchell Santner have got 4 overs remaining between them (Neesham has gone for a few by the way), and if the English batsmen want to win this match, then they need to score against the weaker bowlers such as Daryl Mitchell.

Netherlands is looking to win this final. They have wickets in hands and they need only around 40 runs in last five overs. I have followed most of the matches in this qualifier series but very few of them are being close contested. The final is looking to the interesting as anticipated and I vote for Dutch to win it.  Smiley

The tournament is over and the Netherlands are the champions. They were the most deserving team out there, and they won. For those who followed this tournament, there were a fair share of close matches. A total of 14 teams from all the continents contested this tournament, and there was a lot of diversity ranging from Papua New Guinea to Jersey.

Now the long wait begins for the 2020 T20 World Cup, which is 12 months away. For the teams who managed to qualify (Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Ireland, Namibia, Scotland and Oman), it gives enough time to take out some preparatory tours to Australia and get used to the conditions. I personally wanted Nepal to qualify, but they couldn't even make it to the qualifiers.

Meanwhile Pakistan Women cricket team has beaten all three T20 matches in Lahore against Bangladesh and also looking to white wash them in ODIs too.
They are a better side then Pakistan Men squad and i wish they could go to Australia  instead of the Men cricket team to give some tough time to Aussies  Wink
Have you seen any matches of Australian women's and they are the best team in women's cricket right now and if you think that the Pakistan women's team can challenge the Australian team then you are wrong, i have seen many encounters in the past and i am yet to see them defeat Australia as they have a really good team and dominate most of the team in world cricket Wink.

So tomo we will have the 1st T20 match of India vs Bangladesh series. Though with Shakib Hasan being out for a year now things may not be that same for the team and find it difficult to cope up with India. But hopefully some good match could be witnessed.
There are some chances for match to be called off due to polluted air conditions; Always those schedulers for cricket matches go crazy. They choose England for world cup for its early summer which enforced lots of matched got abandoned. Now it is festival time in India and one of a Delhi match had experienced some play-offs due to breathing problems to players still a match is scheduled in a same venue around the festivals.

I guess out of Ind vs Ban, India must be the favorites still it is going to be a T20I clash and it could be anyone's day. I will bet on India as I do risk on favorites always.

Historically, Pakistan used to have the best pace attack among the Asian teams. They used to have genuine fast bowlers such as Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar, when India and Sri Lanka used to depend on medium pacers. Even now, the Pakistani pace attack is among the best in the world. I am talking about Amir, Riaz, Irfan, Usman Shinwari, Hasan Ali.etc. Even the younger bowlers are really impressive. I once saw Mohammad Hasnain bowling at 151 kmph.
Pakistan had some of the best swing bowlers in world cricket and they developed reverse swing and introduced it to world cricket, i have not seen the current bowlers in action other than the recent world cup and i am looking forward to the Australian series to see the Pakistani performance as i was not able to watch the entire matches when Sri Lanka white washed them.

I think missing Shakib is a very big blow for Bangladesh team he is the best all rounder world has seen. He can be your main front-line spinner with the ball and can be a dependable middle order batsmen whenever you need. Bangladesh team looks a bit hollow without him on the side. The batting might be able to cope up but the spin attack looks really inexperienced without him. While the Indian side is as usual in their top form. Really there is nothing you can do right to beat them you have to depend upon them to do something terrible and lose.
Before the first ball being balled everyone is expecting a white wash and if Bangladesh wants to perform and upset a formidable Indian line up they need to sweat a lot, India is not playing with Bumrah or Bhuvi and India will be giving more opportunities for the young players but with the Indian players in top form it is highly unlikely to see any upsets in any matches. Without Shakib it is highly unlikely they will even chase 150 runs with the bowling line up India has.

The last match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 has just started. The final match is being played between Papua New Guinea and the Netherlands. The former is playing in the finals for the first time, and are relatively unknown outside their country. On the other hand, Netherlands is one of the more well known associate sides, having defeated England twice in the T20 format.

The Dutch playing XI includes a number of familiar names, such as Ryan ten Doeschate (Kolkata Knight Riders), Roelof van der Merwe (Royal Challengers Bangalore), Colin Ackermann (Leicestershire), Tobias Visee (Vancouver Knights), Paul van Meekeren (Somerset) and Timm van der Gugten (Hobart Hurricanes/Glamorgan).

Netherlands is looking to win this final. They have wickets in hands and they need only around 40 runs in last five overs. I have followed most of the matches in this qualifier series but very few of them are being close contested. The final is looking to the interesting as anticipated and I vote for Dutch to win it.  Smiley

it would be foolish from the Australian side to take them lightly. In T20, just one big innings or a single good over can change the course of the match.
I do agree with it as Pakistan have a good bowling attack and the Australian team batting is focused on three main players mainly Finch, Warner and Smith and if the Pakistan bowlers can be successful in taking their wicket then they have a young batting line up and it is a good combination and Pakistan too have some young players in the team and i expect it to be a good series and hopefully get good odds  Cheesy.

I think that was the past and if considering they still are the best in terms of pace attack in bowlers in Asian countries do not think so because if you see their life span in cricket of a particular bowlers in no more than five years where they can continue being the good bowler.

Amir is my pick among them though my favorite pace bowler these days just like the majority is 'Boom Boom Bumrah'. Even West Indian legends like Vivian Richards were impressed with his bowling action and his fiery pace.
Pakistan always had great bowlers and Amir was showing real potential when the burst on to the scene when he was in his early teens and now he retired from Test matches to concentrate on the shorter formats and everyone was impressed by Amir and so is the case with Bumrah as they are bowling a good line and length consistently at good pace.

Amir is one of those rare examples of a player who was able to bounce back spectacularly even after getting banned due to fixing etc. These 2 round up my favorite pace bowlers among the sub-continent teams.
If you watched Amir in the past he was swinging the ball at extreme pace before his ban but on returning back he was not able to get that swing he used to get in the past but still he is bowling well and hopefully improve.
