Bangladesh vs Ireland at a glance

  • Najmul Hossain Shanto has been in excellent form and is the batter to keep an eye on.
  • The Bangladeshi spinners may be too hot for the Irish batters to handle.
  • The previous T20I match between the two teams was seven years ago.

Bangladesh vs Ireland Team Preview

Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s conditions are fairly distinctive, with considerable pace on the wicket but minimal bounce, and the hosts are experts at playing in them. They were simply too strong for Ireland in the One-Day Internationals, and we may expect more of the same.

Alan Donald’s team has grown in confidence as victories in white ball internationals have come thick and quick this month. The squad is injury-free, and their understanding of the local conditions will be key in this match.

Ireland

Ireland’s first-choice team is unavailable, but they still have a quality roster. Yet, they face a very solid and in-form Bangladesh side that is incredibly steady at home.

With Barry McCarthy injured and Josh Little missing for this trip, Ireland’s bowling attack will be slightly depleted in this encounter. With the bat, it will be intriguing to see how the aggressive duo of Paul Stirling and Ross Adair handle opening together for the first time at this level.

At this venue, the side batting second has won the last three IT20s. If either captain wins the toss, we anticipate that they will prefer to field first.

Monday afternoon in Chattogram will be partly cloudy and quite muggy. However, no rain is expected during the first IT20.

On this surface, the ball is more likely to slip through rather than bounce high. We expect the spinners to turn and a par score of no more than 155.

Afghanistan vs Pakistan at a glance

  • In the most recent game, Pakistan’s batting looked terrible and they only scored 92 runs while batting first.
  • Only 36 runs were scored in 11 overs by Afghanistan’s spinners Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi.
  • Pakistan’s team lacks experience, hence they will probably struggle on this challenging wicket in Sharjah

Afghanistan vs Pakistan Team Preview

Afghanistan

Afghanistan entered this T20I series with all of its seasoned stars, and the outcome of the opening game demonstrated how the experience could be beneficial. It took the whole force of their star players to defeat Pakistan with ease.

 

It is difficult to imagine Afghanistan making any changes to their starting 11 for the second T20I following such a lopsided victory.

Pakistan

Pakistan’s young team for this series, which excluded talents like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi, failed to create a good impression as the entire batting order collapsed against Afghanistan’s reliable spin unit.

 

It is only natural that players like Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood will rejoin Pakistan’s starting Lineup for the second T20I after being ruthlessly destroyed.

The last game’s outcome will be taken into consideration by both captains at the toss because scoring on such wickets is never simple. The toss-winning team will choose to bowl first.

 

The weather in Sharjah will be excellent, but the players’ level of fitness will be put to the test by the heat and humidity.

 

It is very difficult for the batsmen to counterattack the bowlers on this sandy, dry ground.

Cricket Highlights, 26 Mar: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka (1st ODI)

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka (1st ODI)

The visiting Sri Lanka had no choice but to win this match to secure a direct spot in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. That did not happen, on the contrary, the Lankans had to face the shame of being all out for less than 100 runs in 20 overs.

Yesterday (Saturday) in Auckland, Sri Lanka was all out for just 76 runs chasing hosts, New Zealand’s 274 runs. As a result, the Kiwis won by 198 runs. This is New Zealand’s second-highest margin of victory against Asian teams in ODIs. Earlier in 2010 they defeated India by 200 runs.

 

Dasun Shanaka’s team was bowled out for 73 runs by India in the previous ODI that they played. This is the second time in ODI history that a team has been bowled out before making a hundred in two consecutive matches. Which is also the lowest in terms of runs. In 2013, Kenya was bowled out for 89 and 93 runs in two consecutive ODI against Afghanistan.

 

This match was an opportunity for Sri Lanka to maintain their chances of playing directly in the ODI World Cup 2023. Because if Sri Lanka won all the matches of the three-match series against New Zealand, they would have got the opportunity to directly participate in the ODI World Cup.

 

However, the Lankans lost the first match and lost that chance. As a result, another team will get a direct place in the ODI World Cup to be held in India later this year.

Coming down to chase the challenging target of 274 runs, no batsman could score even 20 runs in Sri Lanka’s innings. The highest 18 runs came from the bat of Angelo Mathews, who came down to play in ODIs after two years. Apart from this, only two other batsmen managed to score double-digit runs.

 

Chamika Karunaratne scored 11 and Lahiru Kumara returned to the pavilion scoring 10 runs. Kiwi pacer Henry Shipley played a key role in crushing Sri Lanka for 76 runs in 19.5 overs. This right-handed pacer, who went down to play the fourth ODI of his career, snapped up 5 wickets for 31 runs. Blair Tickner and Daryl Mitchell took 2 wickets each.

 

Being lost the toss and batting first, the host New Zealand collected a fighting score of 274 runs in 49.3 overs. Except for skipper Tom Latham, all of the batters of the Kiwi batting line-up, who batted could score double-digit runs. But none of the batters could extend their innings for long. Opener Finn Allen scored the highest 51 runs. There were 5 fours and 2 sixes in this innings of 49 balls.

 

Among others, debutant Rachin Ravindra scored 49 off 52 balls, Daryl Mitchell got 47 off 58 balls, and Glenn Phillips made 39 off 42 balls. Former South Africa Under-19 team captain Chad Bowes made his debut for New Zealand in this match. The right-handed batsman scored 14 runs off 15 balls coming down to open the innings.

 

Lahiru Kumara and Kasun Rajitha took 2 wickets each for the Sri Lankan bowlers. Besides, Dasun Shanaka and Dilshan Madushanka got 1 wicket each. 

However, Chamika Karunaratne took the highest number of 4 wickets among the Lankan bowlers conceding 43 runs. It was his best bowling performance playing 22 ODIs in his career till now. But the career-best bowling day ended in disappointment for him as the Lankans were defeated by a huge margin after scoring a record run.

 

Henry Shipley was adjudged player of the match for his brilliant bowling. The two teams will meet in the second match of the series at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on March 28 (Tuesday).

South Africa vs West Indies (1st T20I) – Highlights

After completing the Test and ODI series, South Africa and West Indies met in the 1st match of the three-match T20 series at Supersport Park, Centurion yesterday. Both teams entered this match with an ODI series draw. Batting first in this rain-soaked match, South Africa set a good target in the scheduled 11 overs (due to rain).

 

Later, West Indies reached the port of victory with 3 balls in hand to chase that target. Along with that, they also take a step towards winning the series. On the other hand, Rovman Powell performed the duties of the captain very well and won the man of the match title with his excellent batting.

 

After winning the toss, the West Indies captain chose to bowl first and invited South Africa to bat. Batting first, the South African openers could not take much advantage. They lost 2 wickets at 12 runs. Quinton de Kock was the first to leave the field after a golden duck. Shortly after that Rilee Rossouw returned to the dressing room with only 10 runs in 7 balls with the help of 2 fours.

 

Then Reeza Hendricks and Captain Aiden Markram were on the field for some time, but Aiden Markram left the field after the team reached 40 runs. He scored 14 runs off 9 balls with 3 fours. After the Captain left the field, wickets started falling at regular intervals.

 

Reeza Hendricks left for the dressing room in the 6th over. He scored 21 runs off 12 balls with 2 sixes before getting out. Heinrich Klaasen scored only 1 run off 2 balls. Wayne Parnell scored 4 runs off 6 balls.

On the 4th ball of the 11th over, David Miller, who scored the most runs for them, left the field. South Africa put up a respectable total with the help of his batting. He left the field after playing 22 balls with 48 runs. His innings of 48 runs had 4 fours and 3 sixes. Bjorn Fortuin scored 4 runs off 2 balls.

 

Besides, Sisanda Magala remained unbeaten on 18 runs from 5 balls with the help of 2 sixes and 1 four. In the end, South Africa scored 131 runs after losing 8 wickets with 11 extra runs.

Sheldon Cottrell and Odean Smith took 2 wickets each for West Indies. Besides, Akeal Hossain, Romario Shepherd, and Alzarri Joseph took 1 wicket each.

Johnson Charles scored 28 runs off 14 balls with the help of 1 four and 3 sixes. Brandon King played great innings of 23 runs off 8 balls. He also hit 2 fours and 2 sixes.

South Africa vs West Indies at a glance

  • Over West Indies’ last six Twenty20 international matches, Brandon King has averaged 38 and scored 190 runs.
  • In the past eight T20 international matches, Anrich Nortje has taken 13 wickets for South Africa.
  • In the last 5 head-to-head games, South Africa has a 3-2 advantage over the West Indies. 

South Africa vs West Indies Team Preview

South Africa

South Africa is having a really bad run of results in this format despite having a new captain. They will, however, bet on their odds of winning the entire 20-over game in this contest.

The 11-over game on Saturday prevented both teams from truly seeing their starting Lineup in a typical T20 affair. Because of this and despite the loss, it would be a huge shock if changes were made to South Africa’s roster and Kagiso Rabada was once again left out of the lineup.

West Indies

On Saturday, West Indies displayed their talent, but in some ways, the shorter format worked to their advantage. To win this IT20, they will need to put on another aggressive batting performance.

We anticipate West Indies to start the game with the same starting lineup as they did on Saturday after crossing the winning threshold and the decreased number of overs ensuring that neither the bowlers nor the batters had a heavy burden. Obed McCoy and former captain Jason Holder are therefore no longer eligible.
