Pakistan in under pressure at the start of the first T20 in Lahore. Both the srilankan openers are blasting. Pakistan needs to take up wickets quickly else this match can be out of their hand.
By the way, its seems too good seeing international cricket match in my city after a long long time.

The Oman Pentangular T20I Series has started today, and the first match between the hosts and Hong Kong is currently underway at the Al Amerat cricket ground. The Oman cricket board is streaming all the matches live (first match can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcBz15uXAaU). This series can be crucial for many of the participating teams, as it gives an opportunity for them to improve their T20 ranking.
Ireland will be taking on Netherlands later today, and Nepal will be in action tomorrow against Hong Kong. A few of the familiar names (Kevin O'Brien, Boyd Rankin, Paul Stirling, Sandeep Lamichhane, Colin Ackermann, Ben Cooper, Timm van der Gugten, Roelof van der Merwe, Paul van Meekeren.etc) are participating in this series, and the main aim seems to be to give these teams some practice before the T20 World Cup Qualifiers.

I was lucky today that I missed the Sing Vs Zim match 
Otherwise I would have lost my bet on Zim. These T20 matches are highly unpredictable 
Zim would have won the match they needed only 16 runs from 12 balls with 6 wkts in hand and everything turned upside down in the last 2 overs
If anyone would have give me some insights for this match i would have waged a bet as the odds were really tempting. T20 matches are unpredictable and chasing a huge score is always a battle as a couple of good overs will change any matches if you are chasing a huge total. If i see any tempting odds next time around for Nepal and Singapore matches i will wage a small bet for fun. Otherwise I would have lost my bet on Zim. These T20 matches are highly unpredictable Zim would have won the match they needed only 16 runs from 12 balls with 6 wkts in hand and everything turned upside down in the last 2 oversSingapore was able to defeat Zimbabwe in a match which had Zim at 1.12. Anyone who had noticed those odds would have gone ahead and made a bet in favor of Singapore. The betting sites rely too much on theoretical information and sometimes they ignore the real time data. Singapore's odds were like 15/1 and anyone who made a bet would have got huge returns. I would have rather given 3/1 or a max 4/1 for Singapore, given the format of the game and the recent issues with the Zimbabwean squad. But the sites didn't cared to get updated information (I guess they took the Bangladesh tri series for calculating the odds) and in the end underestimated Singapore and Nepal by a huge margin.
When you see Zimbabwe lost against Singapur then you must be surprised because Once a Zimbabwe was a very potential cricket team but the haphazard condition of their cricket board, they are also very disorganized but still they are trying to play cricket because they have no alternative earning source, it's really pathetic for them, When you see the gorgeous lifestyle of Indian cricket players but the Zimbabwe players only play cricket for earning money for their life. I think all the cricket nations should stand by this vulnerable cricket team for their good survival otherwise they will lose their love and passion for cricket.

Otherwise I would have lost my bet on Zim. These T20 matches are highly unpredictable Zim would have won the match they needed only 16 runs from 12 balls with 6 wkts in hand and everything turned upside down in the last 2 oversThe Zimbabwe squad is comprised of players with very little international experience (apart from a few players such as Sean Williams and Ryan Burl). Even the standard of their domestic competition (Logan Cup) has gone down during the recent few years, as most of the white players have moved to countries such as England and Australia.
For comparison, Singapore is a country which mostly relies on expats for playing cricket (more than 90% of the population is either Chinese or Malay, and these groups are not represented in the cricket team. But their advantage is that the cricket board is very rich and can afford to offer good facilities, quality equipment and the best trainers and coaches.

Somehow you are lucky to stay out of the loss. Very close match, and none could have thought it would be a winning for Singapore. Zimbabwe maintained good partnership from the beginning of the match. Also there is no big loss of consecutive wickets. End of the match Zimbabwe losing is totally disappointing. I didn't watched the match, quite often checked the score. Finally when I looked for the score it was 30 runs required from 24 balls. I confirmed it will be win for Zimbabwe and finally things has gone upside down as mentioned.

I watched the Nepal vs Singapore match, and it was pretty exciting. Nepal is one of the emerging powers and their captain (Paras Khadka) slammed a century that day. And their leg spinner Sandeep Lamichhane is quite popular across the globe, in the T20 format. I don't know much about Vanuatu or Malaysia, and I haven't heard about any of their players.
Lol. I haven't even heard of the country Vanuatu, had to Google it
Anyways since you said it was exciting, I'll try to catch up today's Singapore-Zimbabwe match and maybe bet on Zimbabwe to win the match. Not at all worthy with such low odds beacuse it is quite possible that Singapore could even beat Zimbabwe as now Zimbabwe is totally a new team and does not play much cricket and does not even feature in top 10 teams of the world cricket .

Apart from Sean Williams, I couldn't find any usual names in the Zimbabwe playing XI. I don't know where players such as Graeme Cremer, Peter Moor, Sikandar Raza and Chamu Chibhabha have vanished into... At least they could have persuaded Brendan Taylor to participate in the Singapore tri-series. And I don't know anything about Kyle Jarvis, Craig Ervine and Sean Ervine. Have they retired from cricket, or still playing? I heard that Hamilton Masakadza retired a few days back. But what about the others?
I watch many matches and mostly they are very good for watching too much excitement but for purpose of betting its not good enough as Zimbabwe vs Singapore odds are very low for Zimbabwe just @1.12 so its not worth to take any risk.
The excitement comes if there is a chance for Singapore to upset Zimbabwe and with a good odds like that it is tempting to give it a try but i am not sure the strength of these teams to take a risk like that but if anyone is aware of their playing eleven i would like to hear, i have not seen any articles regarding their teams anywhere too and hence i am asking here if anyone have watched their matches earlier.

Vanuatu was recently involved in a power struggle between the associates at the ICC, when they managed to oust the representative of Netherlands (Betty Timmer was voted out, to be replaced by Mark Stafford).
Vanuatu, is this a country? I never heard about them before.Vanuatu was recently involved in a power struggle between the associates at the ICC, when they managed to oust the representative of Netherlands (Betty Timmer was voted out, to be replaced by Mark Stafford).
This is the good thing about sports. It connects nations. I remember when I first heard about country like Bangladesh. You learn about a new culture new nation.
Taking about Afghanistan Test team, I think they wanted some soft of competition in the World cup test championship that is why they ignored team like Afghanistan and Ireland if I am not wrong.

Do you guys even watch these matches 
I thought I was a cricket fan who always checked the scores when an international match is played. I have never watched such underdog matches. Are they even worth it to watch?

I have not watched any of their games, i am sure majority of these countries have players from Indian and Pakistan origin. Any players to watch out in their ranks, if so that would be great even if i want to wage any bet.I think Zimbawe's main problem is the intervention of their politics in cricket which is making them a bad team despite of having some good players.
The political system ruined their cricket, earlier cricketers from South Africa and other countries used to migrate and play for Zimbabwe in the past and hence they had a better team, now none of these players are coming through and there is no much support for them from the ICC too because of their political intervention. Well Afghanistan's Test performance is not that bad at all. Recently the won against Bangladesh: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/19449/game/1197138/bangladesh-vs-afghanistan-only-test-afg-in-bangladesh-2019
Some may say that Bangladesh is not very good at test but record book is not going to count like that. The record book will say Afghanistan won.

Their performance may not be bad, but they are not getting enough opportunities to compete against the big teams. The biggest blow for them came when they were excluded from the 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship. That means that they need to negotiate with the other test playing nations on a one to one basis, in order to have matches against them. I don't understand the logic behind this. We have a total of 12 test playing nations, and the ICC has included just 9 of them in the Test Championship.
