Our Automatic qualification for the World T20 2020 might be at risk

[Night_wolf]

So here is the current ranking. The top 10 team qualifies straight and others play the qualifiers. BD is at 70 points and Scotland is at 66 points. Scotland plays 6 T20s before the cut of day of 31 Dec 2018. 2 each against Pak, Ireland and Netherlands. if Scotland loses against pak and wins the rest 4 they will be at 71 points and goes past us to become number 10.

We have 3 T20s against WI that I know of. Not sure if we have anymore T20s before 31 December 2018. we need to win at least one match vs WI to make sure Scotland remains behind us

Um doesn't sides 9,10,11 etc play in the Qualifier.
Then the top 2 sides go through.
That was my understandung that their will be a qualifier,which extends the T20 world cup.

[SportingBD]

Can Scotland/Ned/UAE overtake us without playing us? If only top 10 qualify?
Like can you overtake someone in the league table without playing them (if they ranked higher).

actually they brand that as first round of World T20, not the qualifier. we have a qualifier

it goes like this. Top 8 goes straight to round 2. Number 9 and 10 plays 1st Round.

Number 11 to 16 plays the qualifier along with 8 regional qualifiers. Top 6 team in the qualifiers goes to join number 9 and 10 in the 1st round of the WC

The 10 teams used to be the 10 test playing teams, now for 2020 they made it ranking wise

Afg overtook SL without playing them

[Roey Haque]

Pak's at 1? Wow. Didn't we brush them aside in 2015 in that sole T20 after the ODI series win? Kudos to them for regrouping, and having a plan in place.

And the king of T20 WI is at 7? Another shock. But you know what WI and Bd has in common. A corrupt and incompetent board.

Wrong. On whole lotta levels.

Don't compare BCB with CWI.

[Rinathq]

I mean do we really deserve direct qualification in this format?

This is what I brought up on yesterday match thread.

Scotland has two upcoming T20s against Pakistan. If they win either, they'll be way ahead till September reshuffle. I'm not sure what would happen after that.

Shukur Alhamdulillah

Look at the ranking - there's an interesting pattern. Teams are typically separated by its predecessor and successor by a single-digit margin. However, there's a huge void between 7 (WI) & 8 (Afg) of 23 points and the other between 9(SL) and 10(Ban) of 15 points. It shows the current state of T20.

Care to educate us more?

Lol.... i was going to say, let’s not qualify and humiliate ourselves. We just do not have the fire power to play modern T20. We had couple of fluke wins in the SL, Ind tri-series but apart from it, its all disaster. I would happily sit at number 11 while we build a proper T20 team.

Exactly.

Now its totally merit based. Any team could be forced to qualify. in 2014 it was in intentional slight against BD who were hosting yet had to play in the first round.

At this point in time, in a totally merit based tournament, BD being ranked 10th doesn't deserve any favors. Especially if we aren't hosting a tournament.

Good. One less torture

unless pak take ghush I don't think sco can beat pak. sco doesn't need to win vs pak to overtake us. they have 2 matches each vs ire and ned. t20 ranking predictor shows that if sco wins that 4 match they will be on 71 points. but you are right if sco manages one win vs pak then we are done for

[Rinathq]

BD not playing the T20 WC will force BCB to do something..that's the only way they will care.

[hoodlum]

Soon they will be take UAE's spot at 14.

what will BCB do ?
turn Tanvir Hayder into Rashid Khan or Mosaddek into Perera or Sakib into Narayon ?

The truth is we have no talented players for T20, we saw BPL, no real talent, they tried BPL superstars like Abu JAyed, did not work.
We have a dark T20 past/present and future , there is no getting out.

ya I know, but seriously T20 is just not our game.
even when we had a regular coach we sucked in T20
so many seasons of BPL, still not a single T20 specialist.
T20 is smart cricket or power cricket, we have none, no brain,no muscle.

somethings are just not meant to be.

agree but may be if we miss World T20 BCB will notice because of public scrutiny and do something to save our cricket and we may salvage the other two formats.

I absolutely agree that T20 is hopeless for us unless we get some steroids infused orange juice

[cricket_king]

Great discussion. Looks like everyone's in agreement that, to obtain success in the T20 format, we must first face humiliation by not qualifying for the WT20.

Surely the public will call for BCB's head.

[bujhee kom]

All these plus/minus,
push/pull,
deduction/addition,
by some fluke chance,
sheer luck,
If only the Lord bless us,
If the other team(s) screw up, meaning if somehow one of them from above us falls down the stairs accidentally, and baaam, we get a chance to walk up the ladder,

is NOT about our team's skill or about our BD cricket - it is that same old pathetic, loser mentality, if aid comes our way, and FINALLY - "Ki Questions, Proshno Common porse Porikkhatey?"
"Ji Auntie, amar Bhugol-e shob proshono eibar-er SSC-te common chilo...Alhamdulillah, Allah amar porikkha-ta khub shohoj kore diesen, Star Mark - First Division peye gesi...Letter Mark peyesi...Now I will become a Bhougolik."
May Allah save the world from this Bhougolik....Then, that was NOT an exam, just like then that is NOT the skill and performance of a 'sport', any sport...that is Hinomonnota...Kaarchupi...Bhikkha...Begging!
We Spineless, if we can't play against the top 8, 6, 10 whatever, Mano o Mano....We should NOT be wishing to compete against them.

BTW, it is okay to beg to one's God for forgiveness/mercy with sincerity for the wrong he/she committed and his/her sins - whatever those maybe. It is NOT cool to beg to one's Lord for an EZ Pass to a sport competition or mercy pass in an academic exam!
