The three-match T20 series between Bangladesh and West Indies is going to start in just a few hours. Of course, Bangladesh was whitewashed in the ODI series but the performance in Bangladesh was not bad in comparison. But in the T20 series we will consider West Indies as the favorite team as always because Bangladesh is not a very good team in T20 and does not have experienced players to play aggressive innings. Moreover, there is very little chance of a team like Bangladesh winning against a T20-tempered team like West Indies. However, I hope that the game of cricket will be full of competition.

Looking at Bangladesh's performance in the ODI format against the West Indies, I have no expectations for Bangladesh in this match, rather I would say that the Bangladesh team can be whitewashed by the West Indies team in this series as well. Because the current stage of Bangladesh's bowling form is such that they will not be able to survive in front of such a strong batting lineup of West Indies. It is also possible that the Bangladesh team may lose embarrassing matches in all three matches of this series.
So I don't think this much will be any competitive performance and as well also want to say before the month West Indies will be the winner.

It is true that Bangladesh did well enough in batting in ODI matches but lost every match only because of poor bowling performance. Taskin Ahmed has been included in the team today but Mehdi Hasan Miraj as a spinner is not doing very well and Nasum Ahmed is not performing well in the tour of West Indies. At the moment the squad is suffering from a bowling weakness where against an aggressive team like the West Indies, no match can be won without aggressive bowling.

West Indies won the toss and decided to bowl, no matter how big Bangladesh scores, there will be no tough target for West Indies.

In the first T20 match against West Indies, Bangladesh could not score many runs in the first innings. It is very difficult for any team to win against a strong batting line-up like West Indies with so few runs but the positive point for Bangladesh was that Bangladesh conceded only three runs in the first three overs and in return they picked up two valuable wickets.

If Tanzim Hasan had not given 25 runs in the first over then West Indies would have been under more pressure but West Indies scored more runs in his over but still Bangladesh did not give up in that game. Liton Das changed the bowling brilliantly at crucial times and they fell several wickets in the power play. However, from where perhaps 60 runs were required in the last five overs, Bangladesh bowled badly in the last four overs and at one point it looked like Bangladesh might lose the match. However, West Indies were bowled out in the last over due to Hasan Mahmud's brilliant bowling in the last over and Bangladesh won the match by seven runs.

But cricket is sport where unexpected things can happen and sometimes teams that are not expected to win can pull off surprises. Even though West Indies are team most likely to win I do not think we should assume Bangladesh has no chance. Still it is likely that the West Indies will win the series in the end.

Yes it is true cricket is a game where unexpected things can happen. Based on Bangladesh's performance in the ODI matches, everyone might have predicted that Bangladesh will lose in the T20 matches as well. What everyone thought about Bangladesh, Bangladesh has done the opposite today, they defeated West Indies in the first match. Today maybe Bangladeshi fans are happy for this victory of Bangladesh, Bangladesh won dramatically in the last over. This match was very breathtaking. Hasan Mahmood gave Bangladesh victory today, he took two wickets in the last over to all out West Indies.

I understand why you are worried about Bangladesh chances in ODI series against West Indies. Looking at how Bangladesh bowlers are doing right now it is possible that they will have hard time against West Indies strong batsmen. It is possible that Bangladesh will lose all three matches and it could be embarrassing for them. But cricket is sport where unexpected things can happen and sometimes teams that are not expected to win can pull off surprises. Even though West Indies are team most likely to win I do not think we should assume Bangladesh has no chance. Still it is likely that the West Indies will win the series in the end.

South Africa has won the T20I series against Pakistan, as the third match has been called off due to heavy rains. They won the first two matches, while Pakistan was looking for a consolation win before the ODI series starts. The first ODI will be played at the Boland Park in Paarl, on Tuesday. But the most important series will be the one that follows - the test series that consists of two matches. South Africa need a good performance in this series to enter the WTC final, and the T20I and ODI series will serve as a warmup for that purpose.

Pakistan cricket currently facing many on and off the field issues as mostly PCB officials on political base or personal issues which are surely going to have no motivation and vision for the game two foreign coaches already resigned things are completely out of context mean their bad time is going to be long.

After having bad loses in T20i matches now we are heading for the ODI series which could be also not different but few personal performances can bring excitement for the fans in test series most chances in white ball formats we need overhaul into their system which bring some visionary peoples and good motivation for the players I am really disappointed with their approach into T20i once they were at the top but now had spot at the bottom.

It would not be right to directly say that most of the players in the Pakistan cricket team, especially those in the T20 team, are not fully qualified. It could also be that they have done well in the past and the selection committee has considered them in the T20 squad because of their good domestic league performances.

Many times it happens that if he does well in the domestic league, he cannot perform like that when he comes to the international level. This is normal because an international bowler will definitely bowl better than a domestic league bowler. But if the batsmen have talent then the team will definitely give those batsmen a chance to show their talent. You can say this if after giving a few matches to those you consider unfit, they fail to improve their performance and if the team does not drop them after performing so poorly.

The presence of players like Rizwan and Babar are doing more harm to Pakistan then good. Look at the strike rate of Rizwan in first T20I, he scored 74 runs and played 62 balls for that. In T20 you must score a century if you play 60 balls. Almost same squad will play upcoming champions trophy and it will be very difficult for Pakistan to excel in tournament with such performance.

The match was called off but even if we had the match the Pakistan team were likely to face trouble in every single department. As there are one or two players batting with consistency and the remaining whole team are getting out early. Especially if we talk about openers, they are not doing as good work as they should. Some years ago the Pakistan opening pair was the strongest opening pair but now there is trouble. However, it can be improved if Pakistan finds a good opener who can bat with Saim Ayub. It is always important to have the two best openers so that they don't get out early in the matches.

Yeh without a single ball match got abundant and thus south African team were announced winner of the series with 2-0 which is huge disappointment for green shirt supporters. It's true that in both matches some minor mistake get the game away from Pakistan and some awful selection of management in middle order were consistently restricting them to won the rest of important match. I think it's time to say good bye to Usman Khan and tayyab Tahir because they are technically garbage and have no place in t20 squad in my view. more ever as a opening pair baber and Rizwan does a lot for his team and they were known one of the successful and high partnership opening duo ever for Pakistan but now saim were looking much decent option hope things will goes smooth as soon as he settle down properly in team

If Zimbabwe could have scored a few more runs, they would have had a chance of winning this match because Afghanistan also lost 7 wickets. Although it is difficult for Zimbabwe to snatch victory from Afghanistan but such things happen often in T20 cricket. Even though Zimbabwe lost the series, they gave a competitive series. Even if they do a little better in T20 cricket, Afghanistan will not have a chance to do much better in the ODI series. Because the dominance of Afghanistan's bowlers is high. Although Afghanistan won the series against Zimbabwe in T20 cricket, they have had to lose a lot of momentum in this series. But Afghanistan will try to perform better in the ODI series so that they can win all the matches.

The pitch was bowling friendly. If Zimbabwe could have scored more than 140 in this match, they would have had a great chance of winning. But Zimbabwe managed only 127 runs. Despite being a bowling friendly pitch, it is very difficult to win against such a small target. Even then, the controlled bowling of Zimbabwean bowlers made the match very competitive.

There are still many weaknesses within the Afghanistan squad. The Afghanistan squad has several T20 specialists. Even then, the Afghanistan team could not do well in this series. If Mohammad Nabi had failed to bat well in the last match, Afghanistan would have lost the series.

Sometimes I wonder about Zimbabwe team that doesn't have any world-class players but they seem to be improving a lot lately. Even though they lost to Afghanistan two matches', I would say they performed well because they won at least one match but where did Afghanistan's performance go? They have suddenly become so weak that it is hard to imagine. They should have won against a team like Zimbabwe with a big margin. Whereas Afghanistan has earned a reputation as a formidable opponent for big teams. They will also play a 3-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, hopefully they will be able to dominate there. But going by their T20 performance, Afghanistan may be lose 1 match. In the third T20I, Afghanistan lost 7 wickets for a target of 127 runs, which is definitely not a good position for them.

Zimbabwe has been getting better lately which is impressive because they do not have any extremely skilled players. They did good job playing against Afghanistan especially since they won one game. But it is surprising to see Afghanistan not playing well because they are usually strong team. They should have been able to beat Zimbabwe easily. It will be interesting to see how Afghanistan does in their next three games against Zimbabwe. Hopefully they will start playing well again but based on how they played in T20 games it is possible they might lose one game. By the way it is too early to say and time will tell who will be winner in next series.

Zimbabwe after losing the toss against Afghanistan started batting but they kept losing wickets regularly due to the dominance of the bowlers and the highest scorer for the team was opener Brian Bennett who scored only 31 runs off 24 balls. Zimbabwe team is losing their lost cricket tradition with time and there was a lot of lack of good performers in their team. The most surprising thing is that they could not play the full 20 overs and lost all the wickets in 19.5 overs. You are right that they should have beaten Afghanistan easily but with the combination of young cricketers, the Afghan team is in a stronger condition with time and they are capable of performing well against any team. They have a world class bowling lineup which can create panic for any team's batsmen.

After Afghanistan's series win they will be more focused on cricket and may be more motivated to play attacking cricket. Zimbabwe team captain Sikandar Raja bowled fairly well and took 2 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs but it was not enough for the team to win.

Zimbabwe did not play well in this series and could not target or complete well. In contrast, Afghanistan won the series and won the match by performing very well and putting pressure on them. In this match too the Zimbabwean batsmen could only give a target of 127 runs which was an easy win for Afghanistan. They should have played this match well because they could have won the match and won the series as well. But the Zimbabwean bowler also had a good pressure because their bowler stopped the run till 19 overs and took 7 wickets but their batsmen still missed the target and this match will be over. Zimbabwe batsmen could have won this match if they had set a target of 150 as their bowlers dominated them till the end but failed to do so.Zimbabwean batsmen have lost this winning series because they have been playing well but their batsmen have played poorly and given easy targets.

If Zimbabwe could have scored a few more runs, they would have had a chance of winning this match because Afghanistan also lost 7 wickets.

Baber Azam is out of form and he should be out from the team and there should be new player because Baber Azam should make struggle to come back in Pak team but Pak cricket board don't want to out Baber from Pak team .South African team is best cricket team because players are giving good effort .

South Africa won the series and Pakistan does not got the chance to even win a single match even though they deserved a series win as they played here, we can clearly see their hard work and intention for win but sadly not a good result for them. However, now the ODI series is going to start from 17th December. I think in the ODI series, Pakistan might win the game because they would not have pressure due to 50 overs and at the same time, they recently won a huge ODI series against Australia.

Pakistan cricket is at it's worst form for last few years. They are continuously losing series regardless of home or abroad, it was first bilateral win for SA since Aug 2022. Nothing wrong with Pakistani batting in 2nd T20I but it was there bowlers who were not able to defend such a huge target. Even experienced Shaheeh and Haris are helpless in front of SA batting. There are not much hopes for Pakistan team in upcoming ODI series.

Several years ago, there was a comment about the opening batsmen in Pakistan cricket that if the opening pair did well, then the rest of the players were not needed to bat in that match. Because the openers who would be able to collect reliable score to win there. But that picture has completely changed now. The openers are not able to get a good start due to which the team is not getting the expected results. Saim Ayub has received enough praise for the T20 format in the Pakistan squad. If he does well standing on one side and Mohammad Rizwan at the other side, I think that will be a good opener. If these two batsmen can play, I am sure that the lower order batsmen will not be needed to bat.

Yesterday the match was not played between Pakistan and South Africa otherwise it would be a huge game for Babar Azam and unforgettable too because he is behind Rohit Sharma in T20 top scorer list. He is on number 2 and just have to make less than 10 runs to surpass him.

Rohit Sharma runs are 4231 while Babar Azam runs are 4223. Rohit Sharma is playing since 2007 while Babar Azam playing since 2016. In some of the next matches, Babar Azam is going to be the number 1 top scorer. Right now Virat Kohli is behind Babar Azam by scoring 4188 and he was playing since 2010. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma cannot get their positions back because they are retired.

We considered Afghanistan as the favorite team in this series. However, Afghanistan team unexpectedly lost in the first match of the series. However, Afghanistan equalized the series by winning the second match.

Zimbabwe could not give a big target in today's match. Zimbabwe could only score 127 runs. However, the pitch was not batting friendly. Even if Zimbabwe gave a small target, it will be very difficult for Afghanistan to win the match. Even then, I consider Afghanistan team as the favorite to win.

Yes, It was not very convenient for Afghanistan batsmen and Zimbabwe batsmen to bat as the pitch was not bating friendly. If there is a series between Afghanistan and other teams, If the pitch of that series is not batting friendly, then Afghanistan will get the most advantage. Just as Afghanistan have skilled fast bowlers, they also have many skilled spin bowlers in their squad.

Afghanistan top order could not play well. Afghanistan scored only 36 runs in 6 overs. And the team lost three wickets. If Afghanistan loses two more wickets before 10 overs, then maybe Afghanistan team will not be able to win this match.

Afghanistan won the third T20I, their top order batsmen did not play well but Azmat Ullah, Gulbadin and Mohammad Nabi played very well. Afghanistan's Azmatullah scored 34 runs, Gulbadin scored 22 runs and Mohammad Nabi scored 24 runs. Due to the bowling friendly pitch Zimbabwean bowlers were also bowling well due to which Afghanistan batsmen won the match with a lot of difficulty even with a small run target.
