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.

    Had a bloody meeting that ended 5 mins ago. Set my side without too much tinkering and now hoping for the best. Anderson (c). Good luck all!

      Good luck chap. Happy with the way your team is set up anyway, or are there obvious omissions?

      Can get to the point of 'analysis paralysis' anyway sometimes!

        Thanks! Same to you. Well only choices I'm not 100% convinced with are my wk - Shahzad and my Eng bowling option - Moeen.

          I've gone for Shahzad as my wicketkeeper... Eden's post about England's bowling economy rate convinced me!

          I've gone Shazhad as well. We've seen Shahzad's hitting ability, and the English attack is there for the taking.

          Not sure about Mooen as he sits so low in the order that he never really gets much time at the crease, and he seems out of touch with the bat. Prefer Rashid as a bowler, so I'd like the batting aspect to be more attractive to even up the package. But it just takes a couple of poor shots. Mooen should get overs after all.

    No more changes possible, I feel like I could of carried on all day changing my team around !

    Gabriel too risky for WC?

      Oops wrong article

    Instantly regretting not going Anderson (C)

    1. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      wish I had had the bottle to make Guptil captain!

      1. 1569Tippins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Who did you go with?

        I put too much emphasis on having NZ's Top 4 and Amir being the highest % owned player in today's game.

        Should have gone with the Top 4 batting/bowling all-rounder like I usually do - it's going to cost me!

        1. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Anderson because of '2 bites at the cherry' and him sometimes bowling at the death

      2. juggos
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I considered it but it's early still. Batsmen need to get at least 50 to put up a decent score. Went with Anderson

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I've made a big mistake

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

        I did. Corey (c) is the sensible choice, but I've been well rewarded with some batsmen armband picks, and Anderson just seemed so boring. Wanted something to get excited about!

        One bad shot/good ball away from being peeved, but it's going to plan so far.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          My captain's got 10 points (2x5) after bowling 2 overs and he doesn't bloody bat...

          1. pompeyfan
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            I wouldn't lose hope just yet, he will bowl at the end and could easily grab a couple of wickets there

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              True... PMA, as Akabusi used to tell us

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

                I sincerely use the term 'PMA' most days. Kris is a ledge in my household.

        2. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          nice pick. I agree with all your points! 🙁

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

            Gotta love an explosive opening bat. Calculated risk, but for some reason I just didn't fancy Corey. Nearly didn't pick him at all tbh. He may still get a monster score of course. Plenty of batting opportunity remaining as well as overs.

    Williamson over Guptill megafail.

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Williamson has been so so disappointing

    2. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I made that mistake in the previous rounds. I now just think Williamson is not the best bet for fantasy T20, since his role seems to be the steady rock that they build around

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Players in that role have usually been pretty safe fantasy players though.

    Afridi catch! 🙂

  7. pompeyfan

    Afridi catch! 🙂

  8. juggos

    Afridi!!!

  9. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years

    Yes! Sharjeel catch & Afridi wicket! 🙂

    Munro has been a disappointment. Just as well for him he already had his IPL contract

    1. Extreme ways
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      went Munro over Guptill. FAIL

  11. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Well gone captain. Now go nuts!

    1. juggos
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Good call. Hope he goes on to make 100+

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

        Yeah, he's poised to. If he can bat though we are looking at a monster score. Hopefully Corey keeps him company and chips in along the way.

        1. TheJag
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Great call on Guptill. I didn't have the bottle to do it!

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

            Ha, cheers 🙂

            Definitely safety in numbers with Corey. If he'd gone early I would have being cursing.

            Ooooh, there he goes now. I'll take it and run!

  12. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    It looks like Shoaib Malik won't get a bowl now that Wasim is bowling his 4th over

  13. Eden Hazardous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Anderson!

  14. Assisting you all day
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    80 off 48 for Guptill. Solid captain knock

  15. powderjunkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    What was guptill's ownership before the match? I don't have him

    1. Assisting you all day
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I do i think it was high

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

      Just over 40% iirc

    3. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Currently 41.3%... wouldn't have thought people would be stupid enough to just bring him in or sell him now, so it's surely around that.

  16. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Capped Amir 🙁

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Same... praying he takes the rest out in his final 2 overs! Big trouble if he doesn't take at least 1 or 2

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Doing nothing yet. Not likely to even

  17. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Afridi wicket! Corey gone 🙁

  18. Assisting you all day
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Afridi with yhe wicket! Andrrson out. Pak can pull this back now

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

    Anyone captain Afridi? It was on him until I switched late on.

  20. juggos
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Got the wicket and catch but my captain walks. At least he got past the 20 mark

  21. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    PLEASE Amir

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Useless waste of space

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      🙁

    3. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Don't care if they've got another game soon, I'm selling Amir out of principle... scrawny little runt

      1. TheJag
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        He'll take five wickets next game if you get rid!

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Definitely! I don't hate him really.. I hate myself for captaining him - should have been Anderson all day long but I got spooked by Amir's 77% ownership and the fact I had NZ's opening 4 batsmen

  22. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Amir (C) gone bad 🙁

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      🙁

  23. juggos
    • 13 Years

    Sad I didn't get Sami. Malik catch though!

  24. MemphisDepay7
    • 10 Years

    Punt on Sami worked well

    1. Eden Hazardous

      *high five*

  25. Eden Hazardous

    Sami you beauty,Sami and Afridi owner 😎

    Need Amir to get 2 wickets now 😉

  27. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Amir going to give -10

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      -5 maximum possible

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

        Not if you captained him.

      2. juggos
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        He has him captained most likely

      3. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Ahhh

    2. Grand Thibauto

      Captaincy Bonus 🙂

  28. Eden Hazardous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    This is what I hate about this game

    Difference between Sami's points and Afridi's(bowling) is only 15 😕

  29. Hazard267
