The first of 10 T20 World Cup qualifiers start tomorrow with Singapore v Qatar, these matches may not mean much to most people on here however its good to see how these countries are coming along as most are new to playing cricket. Nepal looks to be the best team in this tournament and should qualify for the T20 World Cup. Not sure how the other countries go as I haven't seen them play much, Qatar I believe are an okay team.

This is not the first T20WC 2020 qualifier. Out of the 5 regions, 3 have completed the regional qualifying tournaments. The Asian qualifier will start from tomorrow, and a total of 5 teams are taking part. The last is the American qualifier, scheduled for August.

I am not very excited about this format. They have given only one slot for Asia (only the winner of the regional qualifier will participate in the global qualifying tournament), while they gave two slots each to Africa and Americas. Asia has some very strong teams like Nepal and Malaysia, and this is very unfair to them. On the other hand, weak teams such as the USA and Bermuda are being given cakewalks, so that they can qualify for the global qualifier.

Only 4 teams are taking part in the American qualifier (Canada, USA, Bermuda, Caymans) and two will go to the global qualifying tournament. It is very unfair to give these teams an advantage when compared to Nepal/Malaysia/Singapore.

Are you sure about it that he did not make any announcement about his retirement ? In the fist Semi final of the WC, when Dhoni was run out, i clearly heard the commentator saying that this is the last time we see Dhoni on the match.

Even i have found the commentary from the cricinfo where the commentator saying that "Dhoni is run out for the last time"

This is quite possible that he would like to retire in India by playing for India in India itself . This will give him a good platform to retire in front of his own country people and bid adieu to the cricket. That may be the reason he might have just not announced the retirement yet.

This is a good theory. May be you are right however I would like to see him to play as long as he wants. Dhoni is a brand for Indian cricket and his existence gives the team extra boost. Everyone knows when Dhoni is in the pitch India will not lose the match.

I am not sure if Ms Dhoni can play ODI because he has announced his retirement for One day International cricket. For t20, i think young players should be given the chance. The WI team is not so strong and i do not thing there is any need for Ms Dhoni in this series. This will be a good time where india can play with a new wicket keeper.

Dhoni didn't make any announcement related to retirement yet. He did withdrawal his name from upcoming Windies series, so we are not going to see Dhoni for a couple of month in Blue jersey. There are some chances of his announcement when South Africa- Bangladesh visiting India later this year.

Ferguson to Dhoni, 1 run, OUT, Guptill, you legend. He runs out another legend. Rocket direct hit to dismiss Dhoni. Is that that? Dhoni walks back.... for the last time

No I'm not watching this T20 blast as I don't get these matches here to watch. I am interested in the up coming T20 World Cup qualifier matches to see which team can qualify for the next T20 World Cup. Nepal have been on the improve recently so I'm thinking that they will win and qualify.

I will not wathc the T20 blast too, not a big fan of it however I am interested for the India vs West Indies series. Talking about the T20 world cup, there will be a pool like we had for IPL without any doubt.

Let's awake this topic for the upcoming India vs WI serious and also for the T20 blast. Not sure if anyone is watching the matches in T20 blast. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/_/id/8053/season/2019/vitality-blast

I’ll be watching this t20 series keenly because West Indies have the best set of players when it comes to t20 format, hence it’ll be interesting to see how team India will fare against them. India’s captain Virat will have a point to prove after he failed to take his side in the finals of the World Cup, and he’ll want to win this series to silence his critics. Ms Dhoni inclusion and exclusion from this series is sure to create a big debate, what do you’ll think should he be selected or should he be dropped?.

Yes, T20 series between India and West Indies will be an interesting one. Although west Indies team is ranked at number 9 in T20 ICC ranking but they will be an altogether different team in their home country.
By the way india team is ranked at number 5 in T20 rankings.

The initial draft for the Euro T20 Slam 2019 got completed yesterday and the mainstream media chose not to cover it. A total of 6 teams are participating, including two each from the Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland. You can get the full team composition here:

https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/euro-t20-slam-2019-draft-full-squads-players-list-eoin-morgan-babar-azam-shahid-afridi-rashid-khan-1571414-2019-07-19

Some of the international super-stars, such as Rashid Khan, Eoin Morgan and Imran Tahir are taking part. But the interest is going to be mooted in India, as Indian players are not taking part (although there were rumors that Yuvraj Singh might participate).

Anyone following the score of Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women T20 match. I think the favorite is Pakistan here although they scored only 128 runs after losing 5 wickets.

In response South Africa Women managed to score 70 runs for one wicket after 13 over so far. I have seen other day a women t20 and I can tell you these 128 runs to chase a lot for them LOL.

@Royse777 I didn’t watch the match live but time to time I was seeing the scores online, this match was not entertaining enough for me and I’m glad many here feel the same way. While low scoring chasing matches are fun to watch once in a while, but the problem with women’s cricket is that each and every match of theirs turns out to be low scoring. What’s ironic is that South Africa batted 119 balls out of 120 to chase a small target of 128 runs, and towards the end I felt bad for the spectators who came to watch them.

Well South Africa won having one ball in hand. I think the women cricket is not that much entertaining. These days people like to see high scoring matches and if you see the women cricket then you will see they don't score much.

For example this match. The target was only 128 runs or so. But South Africa team had hard time to chase it.

Well, being a woman I hardly ever watch these women's matches. They are not as exciting as the men's matches. There are no big hitters like Kohli or Warner and the pace bowlers don't have the speeds that Mitchell Starc or Pat Cummins possess. Even the spin bowling is without variety. I have watched a few matches (long back), but never found it entertaining enough.

I still don't understand why women play cricket ? Is it just compulsory that every game should have a women version of it too ?

There are few games which are only suited to Men and cricket is one of them.

Yeah... I checked the scores at espncricinfo.com. Not a big fan of women's cricket and I was more concerned about the Sri Lanka vs Scotland match (which got washed out). My limited understanding is that Pakistan is not one of the stronger teams in women's cricket. Apart from Sana Mir, I don't know the names of any of their players.

Yes, India has got a huge viewership for IPL or the T20 tournaments. Same as that India has also got the viewers for 50 overs ODI. From my view there is nothing as T20 and 50 overs ODI, everything is viewed as cricket. If a survey is taken for the viewers there might be small difference which is based on the time taken for the completion of a match.

What I was saying was nowadays people don't have the luxury of spending 8 hours or more to watch a cricket match. A T20 match takes approximately 3 hours, and although it is still longer than a football match, most of the people can afford to spend that much time in front of the TV. Anyway, I don't want to make too many assumptions. What I will do is that I will compare the TRP figures for the IPL final with the CWC final, once these tournaments are over (I guess the data for India will be available from the BARC website). Will post here once the data is available.

When it comes to an ODI, it is big as spending a whole day onto the match. With T20 though it takes half the time of an ODI viewers find the time getting passed very fast. In simple terms when there is an ODI viewers just view the score through some apps and when it is a T20 people intend to watch the entire match.
