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.

    I have a team l am happy with for the DGW with only 0.1m less ITB.

    Would you WC now to lock them in or it is a noob move considering anything could happen in next week's matches?

      Buy WI players, they have 2 games quickly... Bravo and Russell are top of my shopping list

        If he doesn't pick up any wickets the mood may improve around here 😀

          I had a massive strop and turned my laptop off. Went and had a shower, got some breakfast and I've returned a refreshed, new man hahaha

          No further points for Watson and yes, the mood around here will definitely lift!

          A MOTM performance and huge batting total from Afridi would be ideal

    2. ronty
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yup..let him only bowl the 1 and get negative points 😛

      This in a way makes his explosive first innings all the more frustrating... I deliberately didn't buy him because I didn't think his bowling was going to be enough to get him a big score and with it being such a good batting wicket, I didn't expect him to get as much batting as he did.

      I'm sure every one of us who went without or didn't captain Watson thought the same... very annoying indeed.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, for sure we did.

        But if he doesn't get any wickets and goes for runs (very early days yet) then he won't get a great score. Solid but not spectacular and he will have no chance of MoM.

        It'll just be like him picking up a wicket and getting a few runs, and who didn't think that was a fair chance when they didn't select him?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah fair point... with me not having him in my side, I've not actually seen how many points he's scored... I'm just visualising 100's of points in the (C) was on him in my team like it should have been

          Out of curiosity, how many points has he actually got at the moment?

            Not sure. In the 60s I think?

              Seemed like 200+ when I was watching him bat ha ha

                Don't sweat it mate 🙂 it could be so much worse.

                I'm more annoyed that I changed my plan to pick Zampa! (Who is a player I've really enjoyed watching play for Melbourne Stars and rate).

                  Yeah, true.

                  Did you see the run out he got with his nose in the Big Bash? hahaha

                    Ha, yes! He seems very intelligent bowler for a 23yo in general. His judgement is better than I would expect. Probably comes from playing on a lot of unhelpful pitches. I hope he goes on to test honours.

                      Yeah he looks like he's going to be a gem of a cricketer for Aus in all formats... clearly far too early to mention Warney, but he's a kid with all the toys.

    Absolutely no idea how Latif walks in before Afridi or Malik..

    T20 is all about flexibility

    Who you guys going for second game? Reckon I'm on Gayle, Bravo, Benn, ABD(C) and Abbot all these will be kept for there second games will add one more Wi vs Afg and one more SA vs Sri

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm finding it hard to decide... I'm definitely getting Charles (assuming he's still opening), Bravo and Russell.

      In an ideal world, I'd also get Gayle and Badree... but I'm having trouble affording Gayle, and Badree is another bowler, when I'm already struggling to field 4 batsmen in my squad balance.

      Not considering any SA players, even though they can and probably will score well... as I'm wanting to use most of my transfers on WI and SL players (to get 4 games from them) but finding the funding for Dilshan and co, as well as the WI players is proving troublesome. I'll be selling Shakib after his next game, which is a help but I still need to find a way to get SL players without removing my WI ones... if that all makes sense.

      bloody hell, I managed to jinx it! I hate thios game!

  16. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    And that confirms it... this is a bad game.

  17. ronty
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Last innings for Afridi until something drastic happens.. Thanks for the memories

  18. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bye Boom Boom...

  19. MemphisDepay7
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This won't be Afridi's last, he has already retired so many times 😛

  20. Assisting you all day
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Amirs been an awful pick this phase

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This... I captained him over Anderson vs NZ and very nearly captained him this game (after not buying Watson) but fortunately changed to Afridi, who could potentially score in both innings

  21. Hazard267
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance NZ might rest some players tomorow? or will they be playing to keep that top spot

    1. Assisting you all day
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      want to keep momentum going. might bring in southee or boult though

      1. Hazard267
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeh hope so

  22. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I've got 45pts in this game... I'm set for a BIG plummet!

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      So the question is...does that mean you go conservative and play safe or does it mean you take some risks and potentially compound some bad outcomes

      1. 1569Tippins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It means I stick to my original game plan, but I have 2 extra transfers to use (as I didn't bring Watson in for Shakib).

        I always planned to go light in this game... with Watson, Afridi and Amir (2 Paks already in place) to cover both innings.

        Then use 4 to 5 transfers to bring in West Indies assets along with Anderson for the Ban vs NZ game (already have Shakib, Munro, Iqbal, M. Rahman).

        Then get rid of my Bang/NZ players to replace them with the likes of Dilahan from SL, who have 2 games to play.

        I'm finding it difficult to fit all the best players in, mainly due to only having 3 batsmen when I got the all-rounders in!

    2. Hazard267
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      im like 90 which is dreadful aswell

  23. Chucky
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    🙁

  24. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'm so ready for the next game now.

    #redemption!

  25. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Uh-oh. Shane's about...

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bullet dodged

      1. 1569Tippins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        For now, anyway

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, so far. Those Yorkers towards the end there had me worried!

  26. ronty
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Faulkner with one of those performances all of us expected and didn't see

  27. Hazard267
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dilshan really worth the extra cash over Chandimal?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably

    2. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think he is but I'm trying to fit both in... along with Herath and possibly an all-rounder

  28. Hazard267
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This score from Faulkner

  29. pompeyfan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Had Faulkner for his 2 previous underwelming performances, annoying

  30. powderjunkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How is it possible to only get 120 points from 6 players?!

    1. powderjunkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sami just got me 5 extra points!
