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.

      Very disappointed for the game, more than anything else

        Yeah, it's bad enough missing your two spinners through illegal actions but now your best batsman, what a huge loss.

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 19 days ago

          Sad as a Bangladeshi fan to be honest. We are quite wind up already about missing Taskin. Players are quite off-form at this moment and missing the Strike bowler is a huge blow. Hoping Mustafizur to do his job today.

  4. Murder on Zidane's Flo…

    No Tamin...

      41.8% juhuuuuuuuu

    2. Parm

    Watson(c) & Shakib for me in this one.

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      And maxwell and Khawaja as well for me

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Watto(C),Maxi,Faulkner,Nile and Khawaja

    3. juggos
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Watson (c), Shakib, Maxwell/Faulkner, Khawaja/S. Rahman. Still deciding on the last two spots

  10. The EJJ
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Maxwell or Shakib?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Shakib. No Tamim. He is the prime option there.

    2. Hazard267
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Same for me I've ended up going Shakib

      1. TheJag
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 19 days ago

        Wish I'd saved another transfer for Shakib. Oh well.

  11. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years

    What did they say the pitch is likely to do at the inspection?

    1. TheJag
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      They think it's going to turn

      1. pompeyfan

        thanks

    Watson or Maxwell cap?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Watoo as of now

  13. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Bangladesh Team
    Al-Amin Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mashrafe Mortaza*, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim†, Mustafizur Rahman, Sabbir Rahman, Saqlain Sajib, Shakib Al Hasan, Shuvagata Hom, Soumya Sarkar

  14. Hazard267
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Don't even think Maxwell will get a good bat

  15. powderjunkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Right, I think know that Aus are batting second, there is a bigger chance that Maxwell doesn't bat. Therefore, in comes Shakib. Hopefully, that will prove to be a good differential.

    1. Hazard267
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Exactly my thinking as well

  16. juggos
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Considering Sabbir Rahman over Khawaja. Thoughts? He bowls as well as bats at 3.

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      He won't bowl much though. Bowls the odd 1 over. May go for 9+. So will be a -5 on your cards.

      1. juggos
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 19 days ago

        He's taken a wicket in each of his last two though and shouldn't he get more opportunities to bowl in this game with Taskin and Sunny out

        1. juggos
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 19 days ago

          I'm asking because I believe you mentioned you are a Bang fan

          1. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 19 days ago

            Yes I am. He got a wicket. But his bowling isn't ever considered to be an option for us. We use him just for the one or two overs when the other bowlers are failing.

          2. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 19 days ago

            Since we are bowling second, you know he won't get wickets unless Bangladesh has a good score.

            1. juggos
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 19 days ago

              Cheers. Good points, I've gone Khawaja then. Figured probably better to go with him anyhow to preserve my rank

              1. Grand Thibauto
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 19 days ago

                True. I went for Maxwell just for that 60 odd percentage. Would have preferred Faulkner now.

                1. juggos
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 19 days ago

                  Same here. I think they'd both do well though so hopefully the decision doesn't hurt too much

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      I've just go for Rahman as short of funds for Shakib.

      I would personally chose Khawaja ahead of him (already an owner) but I agree with your points.

      Bats high up enough to have time at the crease and will probably get a couple of overs, possibly more if one of the new bowling options in struggling.

      1. juggos
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 19 days ago

        Cheers. Gone Khawaja. I think Rahman is a good differential for this game though and put him in my Super 6 side

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 19 days ago

          Yeah, fingers crossed it pans out for him 🙂 and is a big night for Khawaja too!

  17. powderjunkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Does no one think Smith could get a good score. He might be perfect in a medium run chase. It's either him and Kawaja for me.

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Khawaja since he will start. Smith not in the best form.

  18. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    I still find it ridiculous that Finch doesn't start for them. No.1 t20 batsmen in the world (officially)

    1. Hazard267
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      He's very very inconsistent

      1. pompeyfan
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 19 days ago

        yeah but this is T20, with that lineup you don't all have to deliver every time. It's about explosiveness

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Khawaja has the better skillset

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Khawaja has just had the summer of his life in Australia, and despite barely playing in the Big Bash due to international commitments, was noticeably in his own class of one when he did.

      Look at their options. Warner at 4. Embarrassment of riches really, but of course he can count himself unlucky. Someone has to miss out I guess, and it's him.

      1. pompeyfan
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 19 days ago

        true, he had a good summer, but it's been about 7 years in coming!

    NCN Captain Good Luck all 🙂

    NCN,Hastings,Faulkner,Smith and Watson for this game.

    1. Chucky

    2. Grand Thibauto

      I have gone Watto.

    3. juggos
      • 13 Years

      Good set of differentials. Good luck

      What's your rank? You're obviously trying to chase something (the number 1 spot?). I hope it works out for you.

  20. Assisting you all day
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 19 days ago

    Soumya sarkar badly out of form! opening bowler will benefit with a easy wicket

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      Most of the batsman are bar Tamim(shame he doesn't start) and Shakib.

      1. Assisting you all day
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 19 days ago

        True why is tamim not playing?

        1. juggos
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 19 days ago

          Tamim is sick according to cricinfo's quote from Mortaza

  21. Team Cruel

    When does ipl start? I'm thinking of playing for the first time this year. Will there be an article and discussion on it like for the wc?

    1. juggos
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 19 days ago

      I was wondering this myself
