BTW we have T-20 WC Men Qualifiers semifinals today:

(1) Papua New Guinea vs Namibia
(2) Ireland vs Netherlands

Nope.. not today.. these matches are scheduled for tomorrow and in India both the matches will be broadcast on Star Sports 3. The finals will be played on Sunday, and ironically the final match is not being shown on TV (Star Sports will be broadcasting highlights from some past matches instead). I am happy with the semi-final lineup, as all the four teams are close to 100% consisting of native players. Personally, I want Netherlands and Papua New Guinea to win their matches, as these two are the most deserving ones.

Also, there is another edition of the T20 World Cup in 2021. There will be no global qualifier for that tournament. Instead the Super 12 teams would be gaining automatic entry, and the remaining 4 teams will be selected from the five regional qualifiers (one each from Asia, Europe and Americas, and the fourth team from the winner of the playoff between East Asia Pacific and Africa). The ICC is claiming that there is not enough time available to conduct a global qualifier tournament for the 2021 world cup.

And SL vs Aus 3rd and the last T-20 of the series. Hope SL wins the last one and avoids a whitewash.
For a change in this match Australia won the ton and elected to field and Srilanka already lost two wickets for 36 runs and if Srilanka can post a big score and pick some quick wickets including the top three batsman then the rest of the players are inexperienced and can put more pressure and win the match, good plan to write down but whether they are able to do that is another story  Cheesy.

New Zealand performed in an average manner through out the World Cup(Depending heavily on Williamson).

This is why NZ losing in such a manner especially without Willy is not surprising. If England is hit in the right spot, they will collapse.

Yeah quite agree that they performed average. NZ are so much rich with all-rounders and they should start thinking of coming up with Neesham or perhaps Anderson if he is playing. Will add variety of options in bowling as well.

England just dominated the match and chased the score easily even without some of their top players, they have a good bench strength for the shorter format and they will be a challenge for any team in the upcoming T20 world cup, Australia and England proved to be miles away from the rest of the teams and they are the strong contenders and whether any team can come close against them is to be seen.
I do agree that England won this one pretty easily thanks to Bairstow, Vince and Morgan, but I feel like you are over-estimating them a bit too much. New Zealand performed in an average manner through out the World Cup(Depending heavily on Williamson).

What a game we had and England played well and did some good batting to win the game . All batsman in England team played well and this helped the team to chase the score easily with 7 wickets remaining . A good contest overall to watch the game .

Eng just lost their 3rd wicket but still they should win the game  easily.

England won the game. Kiwis played good today but England played better than them. Now I am wondering what went wrong for the Kiwis was it their bowling or batting? Their batsman put up a decent score. 150-160 is decent IMO in T-20 games. Their bowlers maybe? Except for Santner, all the bowlers had economy over 6. Their fast bowlers leaked many runs.

NZ vs ENG
Nowadays most of the big teams don't include their best players for the T20 matches and reserve them for mostly the ODI/Test format.
~Edited out~

Its good and effective strategy but i don't see many teams following this pattern. Except India regularly, on couple of occasion Australia and in today's match England.

~snip~

Yeah lot of names. Kinda shock to see Williamson not in squad for today's match. England and NZ both have changed sides today. Lot of regulars missing except NZ are still up with some common bowlers - Ferguson, Sodhi, Southee , Santner.

NZ was lucky enough to get a decent score. Thanks to Taylor and Mitchell. Right now England are on 26 runs without any wicket. Bairstow is playing good cricket so far. Let's see if he is able to keep like this till the end.

I wasn't aware of Williamson's injury as @bryant.coleman pointed out. Eng just lost their 3rd wicket but still they should win the game  easily.

NZ vs ENG

Big names are missing in the squad from both sides. feels like another tryout for WT-20

I was expecting some sort of firework from Kiwi batsmen but only Daryl Mitchell showed some character and other batsmen acted like a dud, hitting six then back to pavilion.

Nowadays most of the big teams don't include their best players for the T20 matches and reserve them for mostly the ODI/Test format. For the test match, England has sent a very strong squad. However for the T20 series, they have excluded big names such as Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns and Jos Buttler. They are doing the right thing. The T20 world cup is around the corner and they need to find a few T20 specialists among the younger players.

On the other hand, New Zealand has included most of their big names, such as Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson. Kane Williamson is missing due to injury. It was surprising to watch Pat Brown appearing for England for today's match. He was expensive, but got the crucial wicket of Ross Taylor. Apart from Brown, most of the English attack composed of familiar faces such as Rashid, Jordan and Sam Curran. For New Zealand, the performance by Daryl Mitchell was encouraging.

Yesterday Scotland defeated Oman in the 5th place playoff during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier. Oman lost the game, despite scoring a big total (167/7), as Matthew Cross and Michael Leask chased the total with relative ease. The semi-finals will be played tomorrow (Ireland vs Netherlands, and PNG vs Namibia), while the final and the 3rd place playoffs will be played on Sunday. But these matches no longer matters much, as the big prize (qualification to 2020 T20 World Cup) have been decided already.

I just had a look at the headline mentioning that Aussies lost their T20 warm-up match. This is quite surprising for me as Pakistanis have made some stupidly big changes in their T20 squad.
If a touring young Sri Lankan side can defeat the number one T20 team quite easily and white washing the series then there is something wrong with they way they approach the game and they need to change that, may be Pakistan tool the young Sri Lankan team lightly and paid the price as they were trying to experiment with the players and since the defeat was humiliating they are changing everything and will see whether these changes will help them or not.

Did Warner, Smith, and other big stars play in this match? Huh Searched a lot but there ain't any scorecard available of this match.
Not even aware there was a warm up match .

T20 cricket has attracted many audience but if you are trying to compare it will EPL and other Spanish and Italian leagues then you cannot have a match them as they all have audience world wide including many fans in the Asian countries and cricket might be the second watched sport in the world.
No one could compare it with EPL and other soccer leagues but many countries are now focusing on the T20 format and since the time frame of the match is low compared to the rest of the matches it will catch on to the rest of the world and it is possible that baseball fans will like cricket in the US and they will be looking forward to attract more countries to play international cricket.

New Zealand vs England will be an entertaining clash, but my money is on England to beat them in tomorrow’s game.
I am expecting a good series but England is coming into this series with their star players being rested and i cannot vouch for England to win the match that easily as their main match winners in all the formats like Jason Roy, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are not in the team and the English side is strong with these players, so i am going with New Zealand in the first match and then will plan about the rest of the series.

I am feeling this difference with other leagues are widening and this could be great for IPL like EPL in Europe.

ROI
I have no idea about the ROI because there were teams that went down after a few seasons and hence i really doubt whether they will be earning a lot of profit to dismiss the team entirely after a few seasons.

now as they are working I am feeling this difference with other leagues are widening and this could be great for IPL like EPL in Europe.
It is really hard to imagine whether the T20 leagues will reach the level of football leagues around the world, when it comes to EPL and other major football leagues there is a much bigger audience around the world but i doubt that can be said about cricket.

Only IPL allows so many foreign players. 4 overseas players are allowed in the playing XI for each team, and 8 are allowed in the squad. None of the other T20 leagues allow this many overseas players. The Big Bash League (BBL) allows only two overseas players (both the playing XI and squad). Caribbean Premier League and the Bangladesh Premier League allows 5 overseas players in the squad. Also, the salaries in IPL is much higher than what they get in the other leagues such as the BBL and the CPL.
There is a big difference between IPL and the rest of the leagues and the main difference is the money aspect when it comes to acquiring players and the overall investment to own a team and any investor who wants to spend money needs more options and the BCCI wants to make them happy and hence they allow four foreign players in the playing eleven and with Modi was the inaugural president making those decisions and it was a grand success and it is still continuing as a force to till now and the rest of the leagues started after seeing the success of IPL.
Modi was frist and real great person to done some great work with IPL and his work still helping IPL to bring not only local players even foreign players also love to be here and with his mastermind work second thing which help IPL is India is biggest market and very attractive for many to invest here and have ROI now as they are working I am feeling this difference with other leagues are widening and this could be great for IPL like EPL in Europe.
