Lot of criticism of Lucknow's pitch. I didn't watch a single ball but the scoreboard tells a very clear story that it was an extremely tough pitch to bat on, which we don't see in T-20. 
Having said that it's not a bad idea to have a such kind of pitch once in a while, despite T-20 being a batter's game. It gives us a reality check of where these modern batsmen stand in the pecking order.
I think it is actually not bad. In a time when everyone is talking about smashing the ball, it is actually good to see a low scoring match which is competitive, to be honest. And I honestly think low scoring matches are the best because those matches bring out the best of both teams in both batting and bowling. In a high scoring match, it is all about who can smash the ball harder and further. But in these matches, skill is at its highest.
Pitches play major role in scoring. With T20 matches those shouldn't be mentioned as the reason for low scoring. The fall of wickets happened, but runs didn't come. With T20 matches even at the wicket fall we used to see scoring from the batsman. So, it is not just the pitch alone. The players too didn't perform well as the previous match which is my understanding.

I agree with you. But not only in the T20 format. The pitch plays a role in big scores in every format. The team management builds their squads keeping in mind the pitch conditions. It is usually very difficult to score big on spin-bowling-friendly pitches. And it is difficult in all formats. However, New Zealand scored lowly and was given a target of just 100 runs. Even then it was not easy for the experienced Indian batsmen to score 100 runs. The match was competitive.

Never in my dreams I had imagined that these girls of just 16 or 19 could have accomplished such a huge milestone. They were just playing to prove themselves and they did that with a style. Another ICC event grabbed by the girls. What a day for every girls who had aspired or are aspiring to become a cricketer.



Congratulations Girls!! You have proven that you are the best in the world!! Dream came true for a cricket fan like me.
Inaugural Women’s U19 T20 Winners.

So big achievement for girls and surely it'll play a big part in Indian society as far as girls and sports are concerned. Things already getting better and this title will only kick things up in a positive way.

Now really waiting for WPL and transfer this sort of success to the Senior Women's team too.



I will give my Salute to these young Indian girls for showing this historic performance. I hope this win will be beneficial not only for the Indian but girls and women who will take cricket/sports more seriously in the sub-continent and Asian regions.

Although the Pakistan women's team's performance is way lower than the Indian women's team but we can have matches between the two women's team to improve our diplomatic relations between both countries.

Sylhet Strikers defeated Khulna Tigers by 31 runs in the 30th match of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). So far Sylhet Strikers are at the top of the points table with 16 points after playing 10 matches and winning 8 matches. They are consistently performing exceptionally well. Every player of Sylhet Strikers is performing well under the captaincy of Mashrafe Bin Mortuza. In the last match against Khulna Tigers, they took the field and won by 31 runs. Sylhet batted first and managed to score 192 runs for four wickets in the allotted 20 overs.  For Sylhet Strikers, opener Tawheed Hridoy scored the maximum run of 74 (49). When Khulna Tigers came out to bat with a huge target of 193 runs, they lost two of their wickets early on. Later no one could turn around like that.  But the middle orders tried a bit but they failed to win this match. However, Khulna Tigers are consistently performing poorly in this tournament. They have won only two matches out of 8 matches and lost the remaining six matches. Their points table position is fifth.

The highlighted part is a big problem. In modern day cricket, especially in T-20 or franchise cricket, everyone (spectators) wants to watch big sixes and high scoring matches, as t-20 format is considered a batter's game and it's more fun. On some level it's also spreading in other formats too, that's why a 300-ish score is the new 250 score in ODI.

India Cricket Women Team vs West Indies Cricket Women Team in 6th T20I match. The West Indies women's team did not play well in a single match in the tri-nation T20 series. In today's match too, West Indies women's team scored a very small score. Looking at the game, it is clear that the West Indies women's team is losing to the India women's team in today's match as well.
Good days for Indian teams - For the under 19 girls team they did play well and the women team did play well.
Congrats to team India but the women team and under 19 team for being able to bring so much joy to the nation.

Both the captain and vice captain held their nerves to clinch a nervous win yesterday. I am not sure why there were two run outs as Indian batters are known to be very vocal and coordinated than other team batters. It is very rare to see run outs now days. Still a crucial win for the Indian team as they can now play the series decider match next in Ahmedabad. Newzealand did their level best to win the match after scoring the lowest total agains India in a T20 match. Indian batters had to play till the 19th over to chase 99 runs.

I would say the Indian batsmen's performance was poor. The Indian bowlers bowled so well that they managed to restrict the New Zealand team to just 99 runs. Every Indian bowler is bowling very well. However, batting only for a target of 100 runs
No doubt pitch was bowling friendly which put all the batter in really trouble especially newZealand batter. And that the main reason of newZealand loss, because with the help of pitch the indian bowler success to dominate the newZealand batter in a very small target. At same time indian batter were also in trouble but due to experience of home ground indian batter some how manage to chase this small target and win the second t20 match of this series which balance the series with 1:1.

We are all the pieces of what we remember.
India Cricket Women Team vs West Indies Cricket Women Team in 6th T20I match. The West Indies women's team did not play well in a single match in the tri-nation T20 series. In today's match too, West Indies women's team scored a very small score. Looking at the game, it is clear that the West Indies women's team is losing to the India women's team in today's match as well.
India did the best in this Womens T20I Tri-Series in South Africa, India Women's Team get the top position of the point table, the 2nd position is the South African team and the West Indies women's team is the bottom in the printable. The India Women's Team has won 3 out of 4 and South Africa has 2 wins and 2 loses, but there is no win for West Indies woman team. The India Women's Team and the South Africa Women's Team will take part in the final at 2 February.

This was of course a very easy win for the Indian women. I feel like West Indies women will have to improve a lot to actually get even close to the level of Indian women. It was 80-20 match and the Indian women's team won the match with 37 balls left. That's more than 6 overs. It does seem like it is going to be a final between the Indian women's team and the South African women's team. And even in that match, I will say India is going to win quite convincingly in my opinion.

West Indies women's team players have lost their eligibility to play. I think the West Indies women's team should prepare afresh for any match. The West Indies women's team lost all the matches in the T20 tri-series. The West Indies women's team has put the fans to shame. Today's match was a regulation match for the West Indies Women's team

It seems Sylhet Strikers are going to win the match today. Khulna Tigers need 58 runs in 19 balls, and there are no settled batters on the crease right now. It's an impossible job for tail-ender batters. Mohammad Shaifuddin on the crease. He got some stokes on his bat. But it won't be easy to chase 20 runs per over. The openers failed today and it was the key point. Well played by Tawhid hridoy and Zakir Hossain.

Everyone thought that it will be an easy win for India but to my surprise India chase down the target on second last ball of the game. I didn't watched the game but I am very much sure that pitch is definitely for bowlers. Indian batting struggled in the chase or they were in pressure because of first T20 defeat and absence of players like Rohit and kohli. Anyways its a moral boosting win for India.
I was watching the game until Gill got out after which I switched off the TV and finished some of my work expecting India to finish the game within 15 overs. Checked google later and was stunned to find out that they won at the last moment.

If Sky got out during that critical period, NZ probably would have won/drawn the match. Tripathi and Kishan were the main culprits in this innings.

The 29th Match of Bangladesh Premier League started today at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. Dhaka Dominators vs Rangpur Riders these two teams entered the field to play. Rangpur Riders won the toss and decided to bowl. Dhaka Dominators scored 27 runs in 4 overs.  .But Dhaka Dominators lost two strong wickets. Azmatullah Omarzai of Rangpur Riders is bowling very well. He bowled 2 overs and took 2 wickets with 15 runs.
Dhaka Dominators lost 2 more wickets to lose a total of four wickets.  And the Dhaka team faced a lot of pressure as the 4 batsmen who got out did not score a good run for the team.  And Dhaka collected 97 runs in 16 overs which is very easy for Rangpur to win.  Rangpur has been performing well since the past.  If Dhaka could have scored 200 runs from 185 then there would have been a chance of winning with Rangpur.  Meanwhile, Rangpur's bowling performance is very good, today's victory is very likely for Rangpur.

Dhaka has been able to give a target of 145 runs. I think this is a good enough collection to cover Dhaka. Looking at Dhaka's batting, I thought that Dhaka will give a low target today. Their batting was good enough in the last few overs. Usman Ghani scored 73 runs off 55 balls. He batted wonderfully.

Rangpur lost opener Naeem at the start of their innings. Rangpur lost the first wicket collecting only 5 runs in 1.3 overs. Mohammad Naeem faced 5 balls and failed to collect any runs.
As usual this picture is seen most of the matches. In the BPL printable who are currently at the bottom of the points table, they are always   losing matches except one or two. As a result, the stronger team is guaranteed to win. Basically, there are no good foreign players in BPL this time, so there is nothing to attract in the league. Rangpur Riders got a weak target opponent of Dhaka Dominators, they didn't face any challenge in this match. The target of 144 runs, Rangpur Riders won by losing 5 wickets.

In the second T20 match, New Zealand batted first and collected 99 runs, losing 8 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. India scored 101 runs in 19.5 overs to win. The batsmen of both the teams struggled to bat on spin-friendly wickets. Yesterday was indeed a joyous day for Indians. Because the final ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup 2023 is won tomorrow. On the other hand, the men won the T20 match. Yesterday was truly remarkable for the Indians.

The New Zealand team lost all their wickets for just 99 runs, so the batsmen of the Indian team did not have to struggle much. But everyone  understand that the pitch condition was not very good. Batting in chasing of 100, India lost 4 wickets. It was an easy match for India. Recently India holds the top spot in T20 and ODI international ranking. They are also ranked 2nd in Test cricket. If they play a few test series it will be very easy to get the top place of the rankings.

Everyone thought that it will be an easy win for India but to my surprise India chase down the target on second last ball of the game. I didn't watched the game but I am very much sure that pitch is definitely for bowlers. Indian batting struggled in the chase or they were in pressure because of first T20 defeat and absence of players like Rohit and kohli. Anyways its a moral boosting win for India.

Even though Rangpur lost the first wicket quickly, Mehdi and Rony are able to play very well. Mehdi scored 26 runs off just 12 balls. At the end of 6 overs, Rangpur's collection is 48 runs. Rangpur now needs 97 runs off 84 balls to win. If Rangpur does not lose quick wickets then Rangpur will not face any problem in defeating the Dhaka team.
Dhaka may be defeated again today. The Dhaka team was able to win the last match after losing 6 consecutive matches. I thought they might win a few more games. But their overall performance is still very weak.

Considering that this was the first U19 women world cup and India being the first women U19 women team to win it. The prize money announced by the BCCI that is INR 5 CR is less compared to what they had paid to the U-19 boys in 2022. I do understand that the U-19 boys have lifted the world cup 5 times in a row but as it was the first for the girls a somewhat similar amount like boys could have been paid. I am pretty sure BCCI never expected the girls would win the world cup and amount of price money announced proves they were not prepared for this win.
I felt happy, atleast the board have announced some rewards for what they've done to the nation. Once after the winning of U-19 Cup by the men's team, they were announced with a prize money of fourty lakhs for individual players and twenty five lakhs for support staffs. The prize money for U-19 women's team too seems to be less. The girls had a good match schedule, which too a reason for lifting the trophy.
