Has anyone seen the West Indies vs Australia warm up match? I enjoyed an extremely exciting match. Both teams played brilliantly. West Indies batting looks like I am watching Sunrisers Hyderabad batting in an IPL match Tongue

.

In 20 overs West Indies collected 257 runs losing only 4 wickets. Nicholas Pooran batted at a strike rate of 300. Pooran collected 75 runs off just 25 balls. Besides, Powell collected 52 runs off 25 balls and Rutherford collected 47 runs off just 18 balls. Almost every batsman in the squad batted well. On the other hand, the Australian team has been able to collect 222 runs after batting with a target of 258 runs. I think Australia would have won this match if Travis Head was in Australia's squad today. In IPL, we have seen great batting from Travis Head.

Every player in the Australian team performed poorly, not losing by a wide margin. The Australian team lost to the West Indies team because the players in the main batting phase did not perform well. Every bowler in the West Indies team performed well, and they were very much ahead of the batting side as well. But the players of the Australian team did not perform well in comparison, but I will blame more on the players of the Australian team. Warner, Agar, Mitchell Marsh if these three players could have performed well in the power play then there would have been a chance to win.

Pakistan cricket team did not do well in the preparatory T20 series before the World Cup. Only two matches were played and in both matches against England, England beat Pakistan by a big margin. Before the Pakistan T20 World Cup we saw that they underwent army training but did not see any effect on their performance. In the fourth and final T20 match against England, Pakistan's poor performance in both formats, batting and bowling, was largely the reason why they lost against England by a big margin. Having won two T20 matches against Pakistan by big margins, England team will definitely be positive enough in the World Cup and they will definitely do well in this World Cup.

Looking at Buttler's form, can't help but wonder, what if he had stayed back with the Rajasthan? Things could have been different for his franchise.

He's such a key player for Rajasthan and they surely missed his service. The national team comes first but this practice bilateral series against Pakistan was scheduled badly, considering we had 2 washouts.

This will have an impact once the IPL auctions happen next time. Rajasthan Royals had to replace Buttler with Tom Kohler Cadmore, and that was one of the main reasons why they lost the final round of matches. ECB is simply making life difficult for their own players. Or they don't want their players to participate in the IPL. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Trent Boult were also there in the IPL. They stayed till the end of the tournament. So what is so special about these England players?

Buttler won't face any heat because he and RR's management are on the same page but in the future others will face some consequences as it has become a routine for Poms.

During the last ODI WC, i remember reading that one county refused to release an associate player. It's extreme, which i don't support but still, the IPL committee needs to come up with some solution.

Finally, an iconic partnership has been back in order and once again we got the chance to see Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan as openers and playing together after a long time and it is such a long time since we have seen them as openers last time in 2023 before World Cup 2023. It means you can say that we are seeing them as openers together after 7 or 8 months which is such a long time.

Yes you are right. They were playing well at the start of the match but we saw that they both played well and made 59 runs. At 59 runs Pakistan lost first wicket means Babar Azam got out. And the partnership went down. And after 6 runs Muhammad Rizwan also got out. After them Usman Khan played little well and made 38 runs. Overall Pakistan collected 157 runs. Which I think not a good target and England easily chased it.

But one thing which is important to notice that is, if they both(Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan) open the match so they can make a good partnership and can give much surprises.

Babar Azam was out too early, he could have made too many runs and when Babar Azam was out then as usual, the all team lost their wickets but still at the end, Pakistan made a good score just because of Usman Khan effort otherwise, if instead of Azam Kahn, there must be Imad Wasim then he could be a great finisher and they can take advantage with him at the end of the game and could give more score as a target.

Also, Shadab Khan lost his form and in this series, he is not in form, this we have seen in the batting but we cannot say about his bowling, because his bowling depends on his mood.

In the first overs of Pakistan's batting on that the Pakistan team played very well, in short, you can say they played amazingly in the powerplay. They played with a huge run rate in the powerplay as they made 50 in just 5 overs and also inside this score, there are too many boundaries involved.
That 50 contains too many boundaries from Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Those early runs didn’t give a feel to the Pakistan team that they didn’t make good score in the end when the wickets were going down quickly after the initial opening partnership. In this match, the Pakistan team middle order collapsed badly and that was the real cause of their loss.

Once again, it’s clear that Pakistan relies too much on Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Despite a solid start, the middle order failed to capitalize. The batting was terrible, with wickets gifted to ordinary deliveries. A score of 157 is not competitive on a pitch where 200+ is expected. England easily chased the target it under 16 overs.
Congratulations to Pakistan on another series defeat. You've maintained your record.

It is certainly believable that Pakistan's game depends on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. We have seen many matches before if these two batsmen can perform well and play well then Pakistan team can play well later on. And if one of these two players performs poorly then no one else can sustain the match well. Although the team won their series in England by winning this match but it is very sad for Pakistan team that they lost the series again. Although you are here congratulating Pakistan team for losing the series if it is ridiculous then it was definitely deserved for Pakistan team. However, if the Pakistan team continues to perform like this, they will never be in a good position and their most important thing is to improve their game.

Middle order collapsed because this was then the spinners were introduced (Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone). The scoring rate went down all of a sudden, and Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan and Azam Khan departed in quick time. Iftikhar Ahmed tried to stabilize the innings along with Usman Khan, and they were somewhat successful in doing that. But in the end, the target of 158 was not enough. Phil Salt and Jos Buttler are in terrific form, and they got to 82 runs in the first 6 overs.

The fourth match of the T20 series between Pakistan and England has started. Pakistan cricket team is batting at the beginning of today's match. Pakistan cricket team lost important wickets like Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman and Rezwan early in the batting. Pakistan batsman Rezwan scored 23 runs in 16 balls, Babar Azam scored 36 runs in 22 balls and Fakhar Zaman scored 9 runs in 9 balls. So far the score of Pakistan team is 84 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 9.4 overs. Now in my opinion rest of the batsmen of Pakistan team should bat responsibly to give England team a big target in today's match. So that the batsmen of the Pakistan team can play the entire innings. Now let's see what happens in the end

Congratulations English team for winning the series. Pakistan gave the target of 158 runs England team easily chased down the target 158/3 in the 15th over excellent innings played by Phil Salt 45 runs and Jos Buttler 39 runs. English team openers made 82 runs in the powerplay which put high pressure on the Pakistan team. The main reason of losing the Pakistan team is that they gave a low target and after that their bowling line up also failed only Harris Rauf took three wickets. If the target was 200 plus then the match result will be different no doubt the England team was absolutely amazing in bowling batting and fielding after winning the match they also won this series by 2-0.

England team should be congratulated as they won the series against Pakistan team by two nil margin i.e. England cricket team whitewashed Pakistan. Pakistan team's batting and bowling failure is mainly their current suffering. As these matches are warm-up matches before the World Cup, there is no problem losing here. Keeping the World Cup in mind, the Pakistan team needs to move forward well. Also all the players in their team need to work hard so that they can regain their good performance and perform well for the team in the World Cup.

We all know that Pakistan team is a strong team so we want them to completely dominate against any other team this time. Maybe Pakistan team has that ability all the players in their team have the ability to perform well in the World Cup. Apart from Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, all other batsmen of Pakistan team have to bat with heavy responsibility.

The pitch got slow around the 10th over, but they are still below par and defending the 157 target won't be easy for bowlers.

I hardly see Rashid playing nowadays but he's still kicking in the internationals and doing it in style. Also, Azam Khan got some sugar daddy in PCB or he's such a promising talent? He reminds me of Rahkeem Cornwall. Lips sealed

LOL.. for me Azam Khan is similar to the case of Riyan Parag. He is the son of Moin Khan (former Pakistan captain), so obviously he has powerful supporters in selection panel. That said, the ball from Mark Wood that got Azam out was a stunner. If you want to watch that again, then please check this link:

https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1796247418578813441

And then the missed catch (Will Jacks) when he was the keeper is not going to do him any favors either. He dropped the catch when the situation was extremely crucial. Haris Rauf lost his temper and yelled at him, and I am sure that Pakistani fans were disappointed as well.

https://x.com/GongR1ght/status/1796274912245727665

Just because Rajasthan backed the Parag, it doesn't mean he got some contacts or in the worst case, in possession of nudes of BCCI officials Grin

so you are being too hard on Poor kid Riyan and this comparison is odd.

From WK's point of view, Azam Khan is a big downgrade of Rizwan or even Sarfraz.

I think Australia would have won this match if Travis Head was in Australia's squad today. In IPL, we have seen great batting from Travis Head.

If the Australian team could have performed well from the beginning, the chances of winning this match would have been higher. Because this team lost because of the laziness of the batting, and because of the high fall of wickets, the players of the Australian team suffered the most losses. Because those who have aggressive batting are the ones who are basically getting out in short time, Australia team lost. The West Indies team has performed well in both bowling and batting aspects due to which they have secured victory in this match.

I think Australia did not give full effort in this match. Otherwise, Australia had the ability to win at such a big target. Australia's batting order is strong. Australia's batsmen were also in very good form. Also it was completely flat pitched. Bowlers do not get any advantage on this pitch.

However, none of the Australian bowlers bowled well in this match. An experienced bowler like hazlewood gave away 55 runs in 4 overs. And Adam Zampa though took two wickets, he conceded 62 runs in 4 overs. Since Australia is aiming to become the T20 World Cup champions, I would say it is important to improve the performance of Australia's bowling lineup. The batsmen are in good enough form. However, the Australian team will not be able to win consistently unless the performance of the bowlers improves.

India has always crushed Pakistan that India vs Pakistan encounters are no longer interesting. If Both teams are of same caliber, then we are talking!

Also, if these two teams would face off in semis/finals after beating other opponents, it would be more interesting. As it is right now, a direct encounter is merely a cash cow for ICC.

However, things can change with the inclusion of some legend players. Muhammad Amir is back once in the team of Pakistan and he is known as the thunder for India. Also in some days, the match is going to take place so i hope you understand what was done by Muhammad Amir in the 2017 Champions Trophy, in the 2009 World Cup, and also in 2016, Aisa Cup.

In 2009, he picked the wickets of Sachin Tendulkar, and others at that time stars. In the 2017 final, he out to Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dawan, and Rohit Sharma in the early mood then the other bowlers also picked the wickets. Also in 2016 he got the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. This is called Muhammad Amir.

Mohammad Amir and the spirit of Lord's 2009

~~image cut~~

Well yeah, he was good then but is he that good now as he was back then? In Pakistan vs England series that was completed yesterday, he didn't get a single wicket in 2 matches that were played, let's see how much impact does he have in wc.

Finally, an iconic partnership has been back in order and once again we got the chance to see Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan as openers and playing together after a long time and it is such a long time since we have seen them as openers last time in 2023 before World Cup 2023. It means you can say that we are seeing them as openers together after 7 or 8 months which is such a long time.

Yes you are right. They were playing well at the start of the match but we saw that they both played well and made 59 runs. At 59 runs Pakistan lost first wicket means Babar Azam got out. And the partnership went down. And after 6 runs Muhammad Rizwan also got out. After them Usman Khan played little well and made 38 runs. Overall Pakistan collected 157 runs. Which I think not a good target and England easily chased it.

But one thing which is important to notice that is, if they both(Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan) open the match so they can make a good partnership and can give much surprises.

Pakistan seems to be in a horrible state at this point. After 14 overs, they are 126/6, with Iftikhar Ahmed and Shaheen Shah Afridi at crease. Pakistan top order did a decent job, but then there was a middle order collapse. England spinners were exceptional and picked up wickets at crucial intervals. Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone picked up two wickets each, while the seamers (including Mark Wood, Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan) went for more than 10 runs per over.

It means you can say that we are seeing them as openers together after 7 or 8 months which is such a long time.

However, now talk about what they both have done, so they both played very amazing, and made across 60 runs without losing any wicket in 6 overs but then Babar Azam lost his wicket. Later on, no batsmen from the Pakistan team were able to capitalize this start and they lost all their wickets at the score of just 157 runs.
