Anyone has heard about the proposal from Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation to establish the "richest T20 league in the world"?

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/apr/14/saudi-arabia-set-to-launch-lucrative-twenty20-tournament-reports-say-cricket

The BCCI has already issued a statement clarifying that Indian cricketers will not be allowed to participate. Chairman of the Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation, Prince Saud bin Mishal al-Saud recently announced that they want to make Saudi Arabia a global destination for cricket. It is a part of the push from Saudi Arabia to make the country a hotspot for international sport. They are already bidding to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, and at this point they want their fair share with cricket as well. The ICC is already having a partnership with Saudi Aramco, which was signed last year.
Yes, I'm aware of the recent announcement.

BCCI have confirmed that no Indian player currently playing in the national team will be allowed to participate in any other cricket league apart from the Indian Premier League. BCCI wants to maintain the IPL supremacy, also, Indian players are bound to follow the contract they have signed with the IPL. If a player wishes to play in another league, for instance, in Saudi Arabia, they would have to retire from both the Indian team and the IPL. So, there's no point they want to promote their competitor.

Strange that you are blaming the captain. Warner did what he could do. If the batsmen are not scoring any runs, then what he can do about it? As such, I didn't found any fault with his tactics. Only he is scoring runs for the Delhi Capitals, and while bowling they are heavily dependent on Anrich Nortje. Mustafizur Rahman's poor form has been a dampener. One bright spot is that in yesterday's match Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Marsh had decent spells. But the main issue remains. As of now, there is no support for Nortje from any of the other pace bowlers.

I am not in particularly blaming Warner. What I meant he also like the team management doesn't have a clue as to what to do with the batting line-up. Prithvi Shaw has been out of form. The middle order is not reliable. The lower order has Axar Patel but if he is moved up the batting order then the lower order will struggle.

I am not bothered at the moment with bowling as if you have some good batters then they can always change the game.

Captain David Warner is quite prudence. We are not want to blame on him but his performance is not  good either. David Warner also did not perform well in the last two matches. Even if he scored runs in a match, his strike rate was low. We know there is always have big pressure on the captain but the other members of the team are also not seeing any role. Top order in yesterday's match Prithvi Shaw ,Mitchell Marsh and Yash Dhull They are completely defeated. As a result, it is really difficult for Delhi to come out from such a condition.

As usual DC made a mess of yesterday's match. Their batting is in shambles, niether the captain nor the team management has a clue as to what needs to be done. RCB bowlers were very effective and their fielding was spot on. I was expecting a close game as the target was not that big. I guess DC men need a word of advice from DC women team on how to play in a highly competitive tournament.

It was another splendid performance from the Pakistan team. Many of the players are fresh from the Pakistan Super League and the impact was quite visible in their performances. Yesterday the partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan added close to 100 runs on board for Pakistan, and then Iftikhar Ahmed performed some fireworks towards the end. The inexperienced Kiwi bowlers (Henry Shipley, Ben Lister, Rachin Ravindra and Cole McConchie) struggled against the Pakistani batsmen. And apart from Mark Chapman, none of the other New Zealand players contributed with the bat.

Pakistan vs New Zealand
 Pakistan won by 38 runs in its 2nd T20 match. Pakistan set a target of 192 runs in 20 overs. Pakistan batsman Babar Azam scored the highest runs in the match. He scored 101 runs in 58 balls. Mohammad Rizwan was dismissed with 50 runs in 34 balls. These two batsmen of Pakistan team were outstanding.  Batting. Yudhvir Singh Charak of Pakistan team bowled 3 overs and took 2 wickets with 19 runs. I can say that Pakistan won the match because of his amazing performance from bowling to batting.

I guess this New Zealand team is not capable of beating the Pakistan team in their home ground. We see that again their batting line up failed while chasing a big score and they lost the match by 38 runs which is again considered as a big margin in T20 cricket.

If we analyze their batting only Mark Chapman scored 65 runs in 40 balls and gave New Zealand a bit of hope in the middle overs but no one other batsman supported them or stay on the wicket for a long duration. They lost their first wicket of Tom Latham at 44 runs and after that, the wickets kept on falling at regular intervals.
There is home ground advantage for Pakistan, it is to be noted that New Zealand won against Pakistan in the ODI series 2-1 touring Pakistan. New Zealand team is able to perform, but something isn't working for them. In particular players need to stand wicket according to the situation and further focus into scoring. Consecutive fall of wickets will ease the bowling and pressure the upcoming batsmen to score as well as stand wicket. Anyhow it is predicted to level the series by now, atleast in the third T20 New Zealand needs to make a win or else this series is going to be whitewash for New Zealand.
That may be one of the reasons that PakistAn is playing on the home ground.
But we must appreciate the fact that Pakistan gave good performance at the end of the day

Pakistan need to focus on winning this series first as Pakistan also is struggling side specially in T20 format. Its very much clear that this NZ team will give tough time to Pakistan.
New Zealand has lost the first match very pathetically. I'm not expecting any tough fight from them in this series as the key players are missing in the squad. Where Pakistan is playing with their main squad. Perhaps, Pakistan will easily win this series against New Zealand. New Zealand has lost their last 5 wickets within 7 runs today.

Pakistan won by 88 runs. Pakistan scored 182 runs. Both Babar and Reason fail. Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayyub both scored 47 and 47 runs. New Zealand were all out for 94 runs. The opening batting was not good. Mark Chapman scored only 34 runs. No other player scored 20+ runs. Pakistan will win the series easily.

New Zealand team was really disappointed with their performance in their first match against Pakistan. They scored only 94 runs and lost the match with 88 runs. Nothing seems to happen well for them as first they let the Pakistan batsmen score 182 runs. It was a big score by the Pakistan team on a wicket which was not so bating friendly.

Haris Rauf took four wickets in the match and had the best bowling figure among the bowlers. Imad Wasim also took 2 wickets only in a single over he bowled in the innings.
I think New Zealand still have security concerns - they are unable to concentrate on the game.

Great performance by Pakistani team - congrats to team Pakistan and very brave of New zealand team to come to Pakistan again.
After they ran away from the field last time due to security concern

As usual, the Pakistan team once again depended on the performance of Babar Azam and Rizwan in today's match as well. Rizwan scored 50 runs and Babar Azam scored an unbeaten 101 runs. Due to the excellent performance of these two batsmen, Pakistan was able to set a huge target of 193 runs. Fakhar Zaman and Ayub performed well in the last match but these two batsmen could not collect any runs today. I don't think Pakistan will be defeated after giving such a big target. Because Pakistan's bowling line-up is strong.

New Zealand batsmen collected only 154 runs. They collected 154 runs by losing 7 wickets. Also, looking at New Zealand's batting, I don't think they are batting to win. Apart from Mark Chapman, no other batsman had a strike rate of more than 130.
If anyone of the player(Babar Azam, Rizwan) have lost his wicket earlier, Pakistan would've scored around 160 runs. Same as the first match, it was Harish Rauf who have kept the match in the winning position. Took four wickets and everyone are important though they had made good target to chase.For New Zealand it is Chapman who have scored the highest run and stood not out till the last. If this is the way New Zealand play, Pakistan will easily record the series win by the end of third T20 match.

Pakistan team is currently performing very well in the T20 format. Pakistan team is ahead of comparable New Zealand. However, as the New Zealand team has a lot of experienced players, the match could be very competitive.
THE FIRST T20 match was fantastic and i enjoyed it so much. New Zealand bowler has so much pace with swing and new Zealand bowlers took advantage with new ball. Both opener of Pakistan out very early and at first i wans thinking that projected score will be not more than 160 but middle order did well to score 182.

182 was well target but New Zealand batsmen couldn't settled in the front of Pakistani Young pace bowlers. second match is live and we will se some interesting bowling as well but this new Zealand batsmen can be prove dangerous and should not be taken lightly.
In the second T20 match, the Pakistan batsmen score 192 runs and they again give a good target to the New Zealand team. Unlike the previous match, this time both the openers scored the majority of the runs. Mohammad Rizwan scored 50 runs while captain Babar Azam scored 101 runs in only 58 balls. Later Iftikhar Ahmed scored a quick 33 runs which helped Pakistan reach this score.

In response, the New Zealand team is playing better than yesterday and has scored 53 runs with 2 wickets down.  I don't think that they will be able to chase this target but I hope they will play better and we see a close match.

Brilliant innings by Babar Azam he scored a century and he did everything to complete it. Newzealand is batting now and are in stable position they have lost 3 wickets in 99 runs.   
Newzealand needs 92 runs in 41 balls,  anything can happen in today match.

I think it is still a little too early to say because yes I agree Pakistan showed a good performance in the last match. But of course, that was against not the main New Zealand team I would say. But at the same time, New Zealand should have done better in batting. There is no excuse for getting all out for less than 90 in the same track wire. Pakistani youngsters are scoring quite easily and freely.
Anyway, it is a five-match series, which will certainly be interesting if Pakistan can win this series.
These days boards and players are more interested in money rather then performance of national team. Its best example is squad of New Zealand visiting Pakistan for T20 and ODI series. 8 New Zealand players are missing because they are playing IPL. Its good opportunity for Pakistan to test there new players against young and inexperienced New Zealand side.
2nd T20I is in progress between two teams and Pakistan have lost 3 quick wickets at the end of 12 overs and score is 103 runs. New Zealand bowling is impressive, they must try restrict Pakistan to 150.

This is a huge target from Pakistan. 194 is going to be really hard for New Zealand to chase.

For New Zealand, the start has not been ideal. Only 26 from 4.3  overs. I don’t think New Zealand is going to be the winner of this match.
It is really going to be a great chase if New Zealand does win. But the way New Zealand is playing so far, I don’t think they will be able to win.

Second match is even more entertaining as it has blistering knock of Babar Azam, i.e., 101 on just 58 balls. After very long time both Babar and Rizwan have performed in a T20I match, Rizwan has scored 50 on 34 balls. We saw New Zealand batting collapsed in first match under 100 while they where chasing 182 runs. Today they are chasing 193 runs. New Zealand need to take on Pakistan pace attack from the start to win today's game.
Babar Azam played an incredible innings even when wickets were falling around him and along with Mohammad Rizwan Pakistan got a great start but then wickets started to fall and at one point it looked liked they will be struggling to score anywhere they scored in the end and Iftikhar Ahmed was crucial in helping them by scoring at one side which eased the pressure on Babar Azam giving him the freedom to break loose in the end.
