I think if South Africa had got a good start then they would have won it. South African players put in their full effort and gave their best in the ground last night.
The openers played so fast in the beginning, which is why they lost their wickets early, but if they start slow and then increase the run rate steadily then I think it might be more sustainable and at the same time, it helps them to make a good partnership and they would have wickets at the end for power hitting. They will need to change their tactics in the last game if South Africa needs to level the series.

This is Australia's home series. But the Australian team is not in good form now. Despite being a home series, the Australian team has not been able to play well in the ODI format. Australia lost two of the three matches in the ODI format. I would especially say that the Australian batsmen are not in good form. The Australian team gave a small target in every match in the ODI format. In the second match, Pakistan won by 9 wickets and in the third match, Pakistan won by 8 wickets.

Since Australia is not in good form, I consider the Pakistani team as the favorite for today's match. Pakistan's bowlers are able to perform well on the Australian pitch. At the same time, the top order players of Pakistan are also in good form now. I hope Pakistan will win today's match too.

Today, Oman will face the Netherlands in the second T20 match of the series. The Oman team has performed very well in the past matches. Oman's players are in very good form now. Especially against the Netherlands, the Oman team has probably won all the last three matches. Oman has won two ODI matches against the Netherlands. And Oman also won yesterday's T20 match.

In the first match of the series, the Netherlands gave a decent target of 139 runs. I thought that the Netherlands might win the match. But Oman's batsman Hammad Mirza batted excellently in this match. Hammad played an innings of 62 runs in just 42 balls. Hammad and Sufyan's innings were the two reasons why Oman was able to defeat the Netherlands.

Today's match is also expected to be competitive. Netherlands and Oman are almost equally strong. It is difficult to predict which team will win. The Netherlands has lost consecutively against Oman in the last few matches. It will be very difficult for the Netherlands to win today's match as well.

The match has been delayed due to rain. The Australia vs Pakistan match will be played in 7 overs. Pakistan team has won the toss and decided to field. But Pakistan bowlers are not able to bowl well. Australia team is moving towards a big collection. Australia team has scored 64 runs in 5 overs. And Australia has lost two wickets. Maxwell is batting excellently today. He is unbeaten on 41 runs from 16 balls. However, since the match is being played in only 7 overs. So Australia will have to collect 90+ if they want to win. If given a target of 70-80, I think Pakistan will win this match.

Australia managed to score 93 runs in 7 overs after losing 4 wickets. Australia's batsmen were able to give a decent target of 94 runs. Maxwell and Stoinis batted excellently. Australia scored an average of 13.28 runs per over. It is definitely difficult for Pakistan to win this match. But it is not impossible.

Maxwell batted very aggressively. Since the match is only 7 overs. So aggressive batting was very necessary. Maxwell was able to score 43 runs in just 19 balls. Maxwell batted at a strike rate of 226. In addition, Marcus Stoinis scored 21 runs from 7 balls. Marcus Stoinis batted at a strike rate of 300.

Two experienced Pakistani bowlers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah scored a lot of runs. Afridi gave 25 runs in two overs. And Naseem Shah gave 37 runs in two overs.

In this very short version of the match Australian get the advantage by scoring 93 in 7 overs. When Pakistan came into bat, they had a lot of pressure and therefore in order to play fast, they lost too many quick wickets and now it is all over for them. They need 41 in the last over and that was impossible.



Top order completely failed for Pakistan and you will find at least 5 or 6 batsmen who were not able to make even 5 runs in this innings. I would still not say that Pakistan's batsmen were weak, it is the sudden change in the format of 7 overs a side, that resulted in this situation for them. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis took three wickets each for the Australian side.

When betting companies are your sponsors, then you don't have much choice and it's not rocket science, why?

I have heard that in some random league (ICC-approved), a match was given the green light just for 1 over each team. Big bets were on the line and ofc hard earned black money needed to get into the system. 

Even with 10 wickets the Pakistan batsmen failed to play any better. They were trying to hit the shots and tried to make a good score in the first 2 to 3 overs but they were not able to do it. In fact the target was so high that they had to play fast throughout the 7 overs. By the way, it seems we are having a Super 6 match instead of  T20 

Every player played up to get a boundary but always lost their wicket. Babar, Rizwan, Usman Khan, Irfan Khan, every player has been out like this as they are in a hurry but at the same time, if they would not hit then they would not get the runs and in every condition, they were losing the game.

In the first T20 match between Pakistan and Australia today, the batting style of Pakistan batsmen seems to be very weak in T20. We saw that both teams were allowed to play seven overs in this match due to rain. Although Australia's opening batsman did not bat well, their team's middle order batsmen Glenn Maxwell and Marcos Stoinis gave an impeccable batting performance today. Glenn Maxwell's batting performance made me feel like I was watching the highlight of this match.

Australia team batted first and collected 93 runs for four wickets. As a result, Pakistan's target to win today's match is 94 runs. Pakistan batsmen were under a lot of pressure from the start to bat against the target of this run given by Australia. Any cricket fan should be surprised to see the batting performance of Pakistani batsmen because today all the batsmen of Pakistan performed poorly.

Oman vs Netherlands 2nd T20I match: Oman team won the toss and decided to bowl. In the first match, Oman team was able to achieve a great victory against the Netherlands, so today they are bowling to follow the target. The bowling performance of Oman team has been very strong from the beginning, the bowlers of Oman team have already been able to collect 3 wickets. However, the way Netherlands is batting in today's match, I think they will not be able to give a very big target because their batting performance is not that good. They lost their opening batsmen in the beginning, due to which they are under pressure at the moment, losing 3 wickets in 46 balls in 7 overs. However, today's match is very important for the Netherlands team because if they lose this match today, they will lose the series, so they have to win this match and draw the series result.
