India gave the target of 236 runs, this is the biggest target ever in T20. All the batsmen of India played very well. The bowlers of India did not play well, India won because they gave a huge target otherwise Indian bowling attack had a 0% role in this match.

Australian batsmen also did very well runs but the target is so huge so that's why they are unable to chase this. Only batsmen had a role in this match, the Indian bowling attack was not good in this series. Anyway, Indian batters proved why they are the number 1 team in the T20 format.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is the man of the match of yesterday's match due to his batting performance. He put pressure on the Australian team and when Indian players saw Yashasvi Jaiswal batting so they impressed him and tried to play like him. This is a new talent of India, but this is not fair if we are only talking to him other players are playing very well.

The openers of India both hit a half-century, and Ishan Kishan also hit a half-century, and the captain of India Surya Kumar didn't play well in this match but India won the first match of this series because of Surya Kumar.

In all probability it is going to be Namibia and Uganda. Zimbabwe, even if they win both of their remaining matches may not be able to qualify. At this point, Zimbabwe has 4 points from 4 matches, while Uganda has 6 points from 4 matches. And for Uganda, the remaining matches are against weak teams. Only if Uganda loses one of their matches, Zimbabwe has any chance of qualification to the T20 World Cup. But then, Kenya also have 6 points from 4 matches. They also have an outside chance of qualifying for the tournament.

Zimbabwe will have to overcome some difficult equation to play the 2024 T20 World Cup. Two teams from the African region will qualify for the World Cup. Namibia has played four matches and won four matches, is number one in the points table. In today's match, Namibia will play against Tanzania and the last match will play against Nigeria. Namibia will win today's match and these two matches against Nigeria easily. Namibia will easily qualify for the 2024 World Cup as the first team in the African region. 

I think any team between Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe will qualify for the World Cup as the second team from the Africa region. Tomorrow will be played between Uganda and Kenya, if Uganda can win against Kenya, Uganda will go far ahead of qualifying for the world cup as the second team from Africa region. Because Uganda will play against Rwanda in the last match, I think Uganda has more chances to win. On the other hand, Kenya will play against Zimbabwe and Uganda, it will be difficult for Kenya to win both matches. Zimbabwe will have the opportunity to play two more matches, and Zimbabwe has a high chance of winning both matches. I think Uganda, Zimbabwe and Kenya can be equal points for all three teams. If the three teams are equal on points then Zimbabwe will lead in net run rate and Zimbabwe will qualify for the 2024 World Cup.

Which 2 teams do you think will qualify for the World Cup from Africa Region?

India won the match and I think that the biggest mistake that they made in yesterday's match was that if they won the toss so they should bat first because in the stadium where this match is played favors to batsmen, but they won the toss and decided to field first this is the stupid decision from Australia where led Australia to lose and that's why we don't see them as the winner.

They told India to kill us means if they had a great opportunity so why did they drop it? This is an acquired decision from the captain of Australia and it cost them the match.

South Africa Women vs Zimbabwe Womem Overview

These teams have six unofficial T20I matches. Yesterday they played last match.
In the very first match Zimbabwe Womem set a target 97 runs and South Africa Women team chased the target in 11 overs.
In the second match, there were 8 overs due to rain and South Africa set a target of 70 runs. But Zimbabwe was fast in that match and chased the target in 7.2 overs.
In the third match, South Africa made 105 runs in 20 overs and here again Zimbabwe played well and chased the target in 18.5 overs.
In the fourth match, South Africa took the first turn and made 127 runs in 20 overs. And Zimbabwe tried well but unfortunately they made only 117 runs and South Africa won by 12 runs.
In the fifth match, South Africa made 108 runs but when Zimbabwe played 1.5 overs the rain started and the match finished without any results.
In the last match, South Africa set a huge target for Zimbabwe team. They made 166 runs. And Zimbabwe team was trying well but they made only 113 runs in 19 overs but they lost all wickets.

In conclusion we can see that South Africa Women team has won the Series with 3-2.

Even with the win yesterday, Zimbabwe is still in a precarious position. They have 2 wins from 4 matches and are currently 4th in points table behind Namibia, Uganda and Kenya. Even if they win both their remaining matches, there is no guarantee that they will be able to qualify. BTW, their remaining matches are against weak teams (Kenya and Nigeria). On the other hand, Uganda needs to win both their remaining matches to make sure that they qualify. Their remaining matches are against Kenya and Rwanda.

Today there is the Namibia vs Tanzania match. If Namibia wins, they will qualify for the 2024 T20I World Cup.

In this game, Zimbabwe team won this game with high margin of runs by 144. All players of Rwanda team dismissed and they just scored 71 runs in 18.4 overs. Only one batsman D.Ndikubwimana scored 30 runs in 34 batts and he hitted three 4s and one 6s. Remaining mostly players of Rwanda team dismissed at very below runs like 0, 3 and 4. These batsman E.Rukiriza, Z.Bimenyimana, W.Niyitanga and O.Manishimwe have been dismissed at zero runs. These batsman played very poor and did not put a much struggle for their winning and did not support them. Now their number in points table decreased and reached at bottom.

Anamul Haque bijoy and Babar Azam's comparative U19 career figures show that Anamul Haque bijay was statistically much ahead of Babar Azam. But in the career of the national team, Anamul Haque Bijay could not match himself, although there are many reasons in this case, especially political reasons are the most responsible here. I will not say so clearly but the corrupt politics that enter our Bangladesh cricket If Bangladesh is not free from these politics, Bangladesh cricket will never develop. As Pakistan's cricket management and team have changed after the World Cup, there has been no change in Bangladesh's management. No one in Bangladesh will ever be able to build a better career if there is no change in the team management of Bangladesh. As Anamul Haque Bijay and Imrul Kayes could not, they too are so politically constrained Those who do not get a chance in the national team despite performing well in the game are retained.

Am I only one interested in IPL here? Anyway, Pandya goes to MI and Gill will be now captaining the GT squad, hopefully this burden does not affect his batting,  if he does well here, it could also lead him to captaining India internationally in future.

I thought Williamson would lead squad but ok.

Zimbabwe has a good team against the Uganda as Zimbabwe has some better batsmen we have seen from the last matches and we have also see their batting line up has the power to hit. Most likely they are really good at the T20 and in ODI's they didn't have that much good conditions but we can expect from them in the T20's. We have also seen their matches previously against the team Pakistan and they played some good cricket in those matches where the series was won by the Pakistan Team but the played well also in the whole series.

As they are weak at their bowling side and they didn't have some good bowling attacks through which they start their pacers from the very start. And due to which they are not qualify for the World Cup also.

Zimbabwe beat Rwanda by 114 run a huge victory for him because Sikandar Raza is Disheartened after the loss against Uganda yesterday. today emerged as the opener against Rwanda. Sikandar Raza scored 58 runs off 36 balls and also contributed with bowling take hat trick. Zimbabwe scored 215 runs and bowled out Rwanda at 71 runs. I think Zimbabwe still contends for qualification in the T20 World Cup. If they win their remaining two matches against Kenya and Nigeria. I hope Zimbabwe will win both matches and qualify for the world cup 2024.

I was expecting that may be Zimbabwe will top the standing table and will qualify for upcoming ICC T20 world Cup Africa but now things look like not in thier favour because they lose two of thier important matches while thier competitor namabia won most of thier matches and almost confirmed his position for qualification as because they won four of thier matches and in his upcoming marches they will face two weak team like Tanzania and Nigeria. While if we have a look at Zimbabwe they has to face Kenya and Nigeria which I think they will lose too against Kenya and here will be the end of thier World Cup journey and I Think the main reason for thier knockout will be that none of thier player rather than Sikandar give thier 100% and try to make.some decent for his team.

You are mixing T-20 with the ODI.

Arshdeep was never around the ODI squad, even if it was 25 Men's squad so taking him to Asia Cup and ODI WC was never anyone's business. Team management sees him as a T-20 bowler, that's why he keeps playing for India in a shorter format, almost every T-20 match and he's doing an okay job in the absence of Bumrah-Shami-Siraj.

Maybe? Nah. I'm 100% sure that no batsman can break his records for a long, long time just like Sachin's records which took Kohli a long time to break. Kohli is the new Sachin basically in the world of Cricket.

I never liked Arshdeep's bowling in any format which is why I agree with you here. The man leaks runs like crazy and takes wickets inconsistently.

In the recent matches of India, we saw that Arshdeep Singh didn't play as well as he played in past matches of India, in the Asia Cup 2022 and in the World Cup of 2022.

After that World Cup, he didn't get a chance to play for his team, and he is failed to make his place in the Asia Cup too and in the World Cup of 2023. I think India does well to not give him a chance to play because he is not good for India and maybe it's harmful to the Indian bowling line up, which means right now he is not in his form.

The Nigerian batsmen did not perform well, but the Nigerian bowlers also showed very poor form and failed to take wickets. Sometimes the batsmen of good teams do not perform well but their bowlers manage to control the opposition team. Getting only one out in 18 overs is not a sign of good bowling.

A target of 100 runs is not a big target but with good bowling a team like Uganda could be controlled. However, the Ugandan team performed well in this match. First the Nigerian batsmen were in trouble and then their bowlers were troubled. So sometimes in cricket even weak teams beat strong teams badly.

Currently we can see that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are resting after Indian team lost ODI World Cup against Australia. But one thing has stood out best for India where they have formed a team with new players, and in the T20 series against Australia, the Indian team has been performing well in every match. Cricket is basically the most popular sport in India which gives many players from all over the world the opportunity to play in the national team who can do well. And that's why Indian team is currently ahead in the world of cricket, and we have seen Virat Kohli as one of the best batsman, maybe not all other players can surpass him.

In the previous match, Nigeria team won against Tanzania. They won by batting at a target of 140 runs. And so the Nigeria team was considered as the favorite in today's match. But the players of Nigeria batted very badly. The team could collect only 99 runs after losing 10 wickets. Uganda was not a strong Ken team. Even then, the team did not face much problem to win by batting at a target of only 100 runs. Uganda reached the target of victory by losing only 1 wicket. Opener Ronak Patel played an excellent innings of 60 not out.

Make no mistake BCCI is corrupt af. It's just when it comes to corruption it's not centralized. There won't be a big scandal in the top brass of BCCI but in the State boards, it happens quite regularly.

At the same time, it's well-oiled machinery. For example, if some player feels neglected by their State board then S/he can move and play for another state, given they have the quality. Even if they don't make it into the international setup, they can make their career in the IPL and if they are not cut out for IPL as well then there is domestic cricket. In all this circlejerk, if you are talented you'll get a chance for sure.  

Also, IMO successful campaign in u-19 WC is no magic wand for a successful international career. You have to perform consistently with the right attitude.

Batting friendly deck, sometimes even dead wickets + Short Boundaries + majority of rules favoring the Batsman + No reward to any bowling performance (MOM) = Batriachy
