The ICC World T20 moves into its third phase from Tuesday (21st March). This takes a look at the fixtures and offers those playing the game a new article for cricket discussions.

Fixtures

22nd March, Tuesday  –  New Zealand Vs Pakistan, Mohali

23rd March, Wednesday –  England Vs Afghanistan, Delhi & India Vs Bangladesh, Bengaluru

25th March, Friday – Pakistan Vs Australia, Mohali & South Africa Vs West Indies, Nagpur

26th March, Saturday – Bangladesh Vs New Zealand, Kolkatta &  Sri Lanka Vs England, Delhi

27th March, Sunday – Afghanistan Vs West Indies, Nagpur & India Vs Australia, Mohali

28th March, Monday- South Africa Vs Sri Lanka, Delhi

Discussion Points

  • From this we can see that New Zealand, Pakistan, Bangladesh play early on and their fixtures end early. So it would be good to load their players and save on some transfers.
  • Feroz shah kotla (New Delhi), Eden Gardens  (Kolkata), Chinna swamy (Bangalore) are slow pitches. But Mohali,Chandigarh is a little bit fast, skiddy, bouncy and grassy.

    Cheers Moin. A useful 'bump' too as the previous article has quickly got lost

    Amir at Mohali stand-out captaincy pick..

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Mohali is a batting paradise...Williamson(c) or Corey(c) for me most prolly

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Amir for me as well.He will get at least 2 if not more 😉

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Aamir definitely!

    4. minus-four
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Corey would be my pick

  5. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    I just used my final 3 transfers and am all set now. 🙂
    Going with Watson(C),Maxwell,Faulkner,Usman K and Coulter-Nile from the last game.wau?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Watson(c) Maxwell and Coulter-Nile for me

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Have watson and smith and one sub left. Seriously considering getting in an aus bowler in case ban bat first....maxi in case aus bat first

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Thoughts?

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Get Faulkner or Maxi.Their all rounders do most of the bowling and don't like their specialist bowling options.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Cheers, might go faulkner

    4. Moin

      I had 9 transfers left so going with a full playing team today with Watson(c)

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Cool.Enjoy the points galore 🙂

          I was trying to act smart and keep for all games only to realise could have used them better

          1. Chucky
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            😆

        Wow!

      3. juggos
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        This is great for you Moin. You have a good shot at making the highest score this match day. I believe there is a prize for highest score each game day. Not many others would have kept 9 transfers for today and be able to field a full team. If you get your captaincy right, you have a solid chance

    5. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Watson(C), Maxwell, Khawaja and Shakib

  6. SneakyPete
    • 14 Years

    Will be watching the games in Mohali. I live in Chandigarh

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Lucky you.All 3 games or just the last one? 😉

      1. SneakyPete
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        2 at least

  7. MemphisDepay7
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Doubt Maxwell will be a very good pick today, won't bowl a lot at Chinnaswamy and bats low and will probably struggle against Bangladesh's spin. Prefer Warner or Marsh

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Ownership is scary. Best to have him and not captain IMO.

      1. MemphisDepay7
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Not having him could be a positive differential. Time for differentials for those playing catch up now, only 11 games really left (last 3 will be just about nailing the captain)

    2. minus-four
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Maxwell does pick wickets though. He gets lucky because batsmen target him because he is a part timer

  8. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years

    No Shakib for anyone tonight?

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Nah, tempted by Tamim though.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Tamin was my captain in every game of the qualifying phase, but I like the two bites of the cherry Shakib offers. He's looked in scratchy form with the bat but he got a few runs last game and with a good SR that can make a difference.

        Tamin has been hit though, so why not?

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      He's a good option against any team but you can't have them all.Already have 3 Aussies all rounders 🙁

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Aha 😉 yes you can't. Maxwell, Watson, Faulkner?

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I have him and Tamim and a few other Bangladesh Players

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        With all your FTs, that's no surprise 😀

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I have him

    5. 1569Tippins

      10 years, 20 days ago

      Watson, Shakib are definites for me... looking like Khawaja for the final slot (assuming all lineup as expected) would get Warner instead of Khawaja if he's replaced by Finch.

  9. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Is there anywhere which has a nice breakdown of who bowled which over during a game? Would like to know who opens the bowling, who bowled at the death etc. without filtering through ball-by-ball commentaries.

            Ah, clicking the players down the side makes it a lot less hassle, cheers.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      This actually depends on the field and the ground the team are playing...you can't get that perfect record..

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        It is a bit of a pain in the arse, then.

    3. minus-four
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Who are the bowlers you are considering? I think I can help.

  10. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Will Trent Boult and Tim Southee ever start for New Zealand?

    I think they will be of good use in Mohali

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      If conditions suit, in sure they will.

      I've been impressed with NZ's pragmatism.

    Discuss Topic:

    Is it better to get a bowler who comes when the PowerPlay is over? Fields are more spread hence reducing the amount of boundaries...

    1. MemphisDepay7
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Yep, best to get bowlers that bowl at the death

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      The front line bowlers usually bowl in the power play and then at the end.So it's good to have those death bowlers in your team. 😉

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      It really does depend on the player. Some of the new ball bowlers are worth it purely for their first couple of overs during the power play, but i'd agree that bowlers not bowling in the PP are a little more threatening, especially spinners.

      I'd probably put the death over bowlers top though. Even though they get smashed around(not a big deal in this scoring system) they always get a couple of wickets.

      1. MemphisDepay7
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Agreed, Amir for example usually gets a wicket or two in his first couple of overs.

      2. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Spot on.The game rewards wicket taking bowlers.There is absolutely nothing for the economical bowlers.

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          In the IPL game, for example, you could pick a Tambe or a Mishra, who'd bowl the middle overs, go for around 6 an over, pick up the odd wicket and there's your 60-odd points. There'd actually be a risk in taking new bowl/death bowlers because of the scoring system. Not here.

          1. Chucky
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Agreed.Bowling maidens in T20 cricket is so rare and only 20 points for a maiden over is just unfair.

            1. Parm
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              The IPL game brings every variety of player into the game and makes them a viable option. With this game it's purely openers(the odd #3/#4) and wicket taking bowlers.

            2. minus-four
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              this

      3. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        True...Good Point!

  12. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Nielsen in that innings just bowled 4 overs and went for 4 runs, no maidens, no wickets.

    How many points would that be?

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      25-30 for economy rate only 🙁

    2. MemphisDepay7
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      15.. would be 52 with the IPL system, so much better.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        IPL system is way better

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Batsmen actually get credit for a true strike rate too.

          Isn't the IPL scoring system... runs + (runs - balls), extra pts for 6's and bonus' at 25 runs+?

          1. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Yeah...Like I captained Gayle when in scored a 100...in IPL Fantasy I would have jumped a big number in ranking...here not so much

          2. MemphisDepay7
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Yeah, and extra pts for 4s as well. Don't know why they didn't just stick with it.

          3. pompeyfan
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            exactly! I was celebrating when Duminy hit a 6 with the last ball of the innings to pass 25, unfortunately I forgot that this game doesn't reward that

    1. Eden Hazardous

      *T20 WC....50 over WC was also good imo

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      No idea why they've changed it. I also really hate the website, complete garbage.

      Also, scheduling subs is so good. Especially if you aren't Indian and work so can't make all the deadlines. Would save many of us a bit of sleep too.

      1. MemphisDepay7
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        The interface is so bad, especially if you want to see a rival's team.

        1. TheJag
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Yep. And in the world cup one you could see how may transfers other people had made which was helpful.

        2. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          It logs you out every 5 minutes too if you aren't doing anything.

      2. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Agree....50 over WC ---slept through many deadlines...courtesy : Scheduling Subs 🙂

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yup! scheduling subs should have been there

      4. pompeyfan
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        this is a godsend. When you're talking about games every day or 2 a day for such a long time it's just not possible to be ready for every one.

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Exactly, i'm going to miss making a captain change/transfers for the India vs Bangladesh game. Might have to give one of you my e-mail and change my password just to keep up.

          1. pompeyfan
            • 16 Years

            I can probably do that for you if necessary

        Ha, honestly that is not the case. I know several people are doing better than me.

        I hate the humble brag posts on the main site ( I never do, and tbh, I could but that isn't my style), but there's a different vibe here with fewer regular posters. Or, so I thought 😉

    3. Eden Hazardous

        You're still up there, although I honestly have no idea how many points cover the gaps between places.

          Use the FFS League and check their ranks

        Look at my story...I was 4.2k after Phase 1.....only requires one good phase to get to the top .

          Cheers... see how the last game goes this afternoon... expecting a bit of a drop as I don't have any players, but do have 3 transfers to use.

          Guessing that's below average number of players to go, so hoping to nail the right trio!

          How many players do you have this afternoon?

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years

        Plenty of points to be played for still. Not too shabby at all.

        1. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          true, but I was up at 5th in the FFS league, now down in 12th

          1. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            I'm 5th at FFS league with 108 rank. This league is so hard.

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Excellent work. Hope you can make it into the top 10. It's getting tough now as I suspect it only takes one failed captaincy for a massive drop. Best of luck!

        1. Fais
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Gayle getting crocket was unhelpful...it's odd though as there are so many points where I was 50/50 and made the wrong call and yet I'm still in a decent position. Changing captaincy from Root to AB at 1:57 still hurts.

          1. juggos
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Same here. I went without Gayle for his century, captained ABD in a game where QDK, Roy and Root all scored much much better. But somehow still in it as well

      3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years

        Wow. Keep going.

      52nd overall. 45th in phase 2.

      Not as good as Fais above but huge improvement from my phase 1 ranking.

    Going with Watson(c), Maxwell, Faulkner, Kawaja, Coulter Nile. Should i go with another Aussie or go Shakib with final transfer guys?

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Shakib for me

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Shakib imo

    3. Bobbyg1
      • 14 Years

      Cheers guys

    4. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Shakib

  21. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Shakib is somewhat being underestimated here. Taskin and Arafat Sunny getting banned recently, makes Shakib kind of the strike bowler. He actually may bowl during the 17th-19th overs. And Bangladesh middle order have been under performing the whole tournament. Shakib with his low strike rate is still in the runs. Watson may be the safe bet today, but I do think going for Shakib instead of Faulkner/Maxwell is recommended.

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I'm selecting him ahead of Faulkner

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers. I am as well. I had a decision to make. Shakib and Khawaja or Faulkner and Warner. I went with the former. I do have Maxwell.

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Yeah, I have Watson (c), Khawaja, Maxwell, Shakib.

          Sounds like we'll be shouting for the same guys!

          1. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Yes 🙂

    2. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Not being underestimated by me... but I will be captaining Watson over him

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        I will captain Watto as well. As Australia will most probably win this. And for his (long gone) explosion capabilities as well. He has been selected is sort of a differential.

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Yeah that's the plan... I'm going in with Watson (C), Shakib and a final Aussie... which is highly likely to be Khawaja, particularly if Aus bat first.

          1. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Yes Khawaja seems to be the most viable option out there. Warner/Smith not looking in form at all.

    3. ronty
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Anybody chasing can bring in Mustafizur for today.. do or die game for Bang..

      So,will definitely play imo

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years

        He is just coming from an injury. But a solid punt nevertheless.

    4. TheJag
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I only have 1 transfer, so I'm getting Watson. If I had another I'd probably get Shakib.

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Sound about right. Would have done the same.

    Understand if it is (obvious reasons) but I'm a fully paid up FFS member (primarily for FPL purposes of course) and genuinely wasn't aware of this.

    Australia have so many all rounders, it's difficult to have 4 batsman in your team!

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I had only 4 transfers and got in 3 Allrounders.

      1. powderjunkie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Because of budget constraints, I needed to get rid of Gayle and Dilshan. That left me with 3 batsman and 3 transfers. I wanted to bring in Watson, Maxell and Shakib (3 all rounders). But I'll have to bring in either Kawaja or Iqbal instead of one of them.

          Same problem. Same Transfers. And I got Khawaja(I had 80k left so).

            Did you go Maxwell or Shakib?

              Oh I had four transfers. So I went for both. Watto, Max, Shakib and Khawaja

    Pray Zampa plays big differential for me

      Pray that he bowls 4 overs at first 😉

    Besides Watson there really is no stand out option from either side for this one.

      There is Shakib who is in having the runs and will be the go to bowler for Bangladesh going in this one.

    I have 4 transfers. Bringing in Watson, Khawaja (for budget and batsmen reasons). Tossing up between Shakib, Maxwell and Faulkner. Any opinions? I see several are going without Faulkner but I think his death bowling can paid off hugely

      Shakib for me. Handy with the bat as he is basically the only in form middle order batsman for Bangladesh. And Shakib is likely to bowl some of the last 5 overs. Because, if not, who else. Taskin can't play and none of the pacers bar Mustafizur seems to be a viable option.

        Agree. I've went Shakib (c) every bang game so far and he hasn't let me down yet (although Tamim did score more). I have 2 spots to fill so probably going Shakib and Maxwell like you are since Faulkner comes in to bat far too late. I just think his bowling figures will be good this game though

        1. Grand Thibauto

          I am not doubting Faulkner's likely 2 wicket figure. But Shakib is the safer option considering he will bat and score 20 off a ~100 strike rate at least(I hope).

      If Bangladesh bat first then I'd certainly go for Faulkner. He's a bit of a risk otherwise.

    Australia win the toss and bowl.
