Cricket match prediction discussions

Pujara played well and finally got out at 143 runs. India have now taken a 194 runs lead and 7 wickets still left. Today is the 3rd day and 1st session of play is going on. I think they will bat today whole day and ask SL to bat from tomorrow. So now mostly this game India should win it from here.

Indian finally declared first innings at 610 runs and still they had four wickets. This is a huge total for SL team to chase and they already lost the first wicket just for 21 runs in second innings. Sri Lanka is trail by 384 runs and still, they have nine wickets remaining in this innings. By looking at their current form I don't think SL team will score another 384 runs. It will be a very big win for the Indian team. Four Indian players scored 100+ runs in first innings.

I am of the opinion that the match is going to be complete by tomorrow as this task looks to be too huge for Sri Lanka, who were not looking good with the first innings as well.If someone from the team can fight and move to the fifth day it would be a great test match to look for.

India lost 6 wickets and out that 4 made centuries . This proves that its a batting pitch and SL in first innings messed up with thier batting. They have lost 1 wicket in their second innings also and seems tomorrow game will be won by India with some runs and a inning.

I just wish SL plays atleast sensible cricket tomorrow and don't let India win with a big runs . I hope it goes to 5th day but it doesn't seem like it .

I don't think we will see 5th day's play as India will finish things off on 4th day itself and SL is already under pressure and only miracle can save them from this match as its never easy to bat in second innings especially  if you are trailing with this many runs.

Sri Lanka have already lost one wicket and will be under pressure looking at the huge first innings deficit. Although the pitch looks good for batting (India had 4 centurions - Vijay, Pujara, Kohli and Rohit), it is a whole new ball game when you are batting under pressure. I think the spinners will wrap this up by the fourth day, resulting in an innings victory for India.

Australia are in a strong position to win this test match, England did well to survive last night and will need to do the same in the morning session as Australia will be looking for some quick wickets. If Australia can get Root out early then I think Australia will only be chasing a small target for victory. I just hope the rain stays away as the weather forecast is for some light rain. Well done to Steve Smith on his 1st Ashes century as Australian captain, he deserved it as he batted well when under pressure and has put Australia in a strong position to win the match.

England needs a few good partnerships to get back the confidence in this innings because they lost two wickets quickly. Since a lot of time left they shouldn't hurry and play slowly without losing wickets this morning session then they can build good total otherwise as you said Australia may win this match. England nicely came back in the first innings for restricting Australian batsman but now they need a good total win this game.

The match between Australia and England in Australia was always going to be going Australia way, and now they barely needs few more runs to win. I hope England offer some competition in the next match they really have surrendered this match. Meanwhile in Asia I think team India has a very good chance to win, bat the entire day today, post 600+ send them into bat and then go for the victory. The srilankans will need to play for a draw.

It wasn't always going to be going Australia's way as England were in front for the first 2 and half days and looked to be on top but what turned it around was Steve Smith's century. This put the momentum in Australia's favour and they haven't looked back, like I said yesterday the key to Australia winning was to get Root out early and they were able to achieve this even though he made a half century but once he fell England just crumbled under the pressure from a great Australian bowling performance. Australia will now go onto winning this 1st test match easily and will now be hard to beat as they have their confidence up and all the momentum going into the Adelaide test match. Australia will still keep their record of not losing in Brisbane in over 30 years.

Tomorrow just a formality for Australians, they will win the match within lunch, the way Australia bounced back to the match is fantastic. Hats off to steven smith for his fabulous innings.
In the other match, India will win the match. Srilankan bowling looked very mediocre, Kohli toyed with their bowlers.

I expected a much close encounter between the two team rather than a one sided effort,full credits to Smith on how he performed ,When it comes to the Indian series ,it is a expected result as Srilanka has a very weak team,they do not have the strength to trouble any world class players in their line up nor do they have world class batsmen .

Actually England both batsman and bowlers didn't do a good job in the second innings compared to first innings. That's why Australia can win the match so easily. It was a complete failure in the second innings for England.

India match was expected it will be a one-sided and no surprise. SL will lose all their wickets before the end of today and India no need to bat again in the second innings.

This is a massive win, the first match too was under the hands of India and in unexpected time the climate situation supported Sri Lanka and ended in a draw. This time as a comeback India has recorded the victory against Sri Lanka leading the series.

Beating with this margin is a huge confidence booster for India as compared to 1st test match where both team played well. Virat Kohli is the Man of the match for his brilliant double century. Ashwin created a record by picking fastest 300 test wickets. So a great team effort overall.

Its really difficult to defeat India at home and India is performing well under Kohli's captaincy and even he is in a great form but India's performance will be tested when they play overseas as it will not be easy to defeat team like Australia or England in their home country as India has not traveled overseas after Kohli became captain I guess.

[DU18]

India won by an innings and 239 runs.SL all out by just 166 runs.SL showed very bad performance on the ball and bat.I think they need to work on their problems.SL is passing very bad times from the start of 2017.India is phenomenal at home all the time.They showed all rounding performance in this match.Specially, kohli made a superior innings of 213.He wil remember it for long time.And also more 3 hundreds from other batsman

OTOH, Australia won by 10 wickets in the first test of asehs.England have to come back in 2nd test.

Team Sri Lanka has been really struggling in Test matches as they don't have any experienced players in the team and it will be very tough for them to bounce back in the series as India is really strong team at home and they are gonna win this test match series for sure.

The Ashes start in 2 days time, I've been waiting a long time for this as the Ashes are always a great fought test series, well in recent times since England have improved a lot from the 90's and early 2000's where Australia dominated them. I was going to bet on the 1st test match but have decided to wait and see how the 1st test match is played to get an idea on the teams. I may bet live in play as I have been doing this recently betting on cricket matches.

Yes this series is very interesting to compare any other test series. These two teams are unpredictable, especially in this Ashes series. I can't predict now who will win the first match. But I am sure it will not become a one side series both teams will give us good entertainment.

Currently Australian at home but have many problems around them just because of this we cannot give them any favor England is in good shape but they are here without Stoke its disadvantage to them England still some good but its any body game as we have one of most tough rivalry in sports history waiting for this series to start and have some great moments

Australians have proved that they are the best at the homes and won't be easy for any team to defeat them at home but England team is also looking good at a moment and can give tough competition to Aussies and its surely gonna be interesting battle between ball and bat which will also include some high level of sledging from both the teams to distract the opponents.

But I feel that currently, England is a quite strong team compared to Australia. Both teams are good at playing on fast tracks so for England team, it is not so much different to play on Australian pitches. Australia will have a good support but still, England team can overcome that part to win the matches. I think England may win this series.  

Yes recent Austrailia test series was not impressive they did not play up to the mark.
England is in good form and all the players are performing well so i think this time England have a chance to win this test series.

Though Australian recent performance is not upto the mark but I believe they can perform good in big matches.And since the second world war England have won 23 matches of 98.So I think Australia will continue to dominate Ashes series.England didn't win test match at Gabba since 1986.Australia have good pace attack featuring Starc,hazlewood,Cummins.England have good batting line up with Cook,root,malan etc.I am hoping to see a exciting Ashes series.

Ya it is true that the stats say that in last 31 years England never won in Gabba ground but history are created to break and in recent series we have seen lot of old stats broken and i hope that England play well and win this first test match and break the 31 years old record of Gabba loosing streak for England.

England is most favorite team in last few years and now they are just making the world amazed by breaking different records and stats in their recent matches. As you have said, in last matches England have altered the history and break many stats. New stats have been formed and recorded and now they are willing to win in this ground. They are much motivated and I think they will do it.

Many new players are coming to the SL team, and the SL board is also trying to make his team strong but what they do no one is playing good cricket. This is very sad for SL team I don't know when this team will bounce back.

Congrats to team AUS. the result was expected and the 1st 4 days was very entertaining.

Lack of experience , if you ask me. Only Rangana Herath cannot win matches for SL, if you see the way they gave away their wickets you will understand that SL team needs great improvement and more hard work .

Australia has come back strongly and they are able to carry their record in this field. I hope this asses series go to Australia and they are going to dominate this winter cricket. their pace attack has done tremendous work and English batsman has got panicked by their speed along with variation. so Australia will win this series.

Australia did great, I thought win for them would be tough as they couldn't really put a high lead in 1st innings. But the way they bowled was awesome, even better there batsman. Bancroft and Warner played just unimaginably good, but I liked the way Mr. Warner played, Bancroft was playing slightly defensive. But good lead by Smith, 1-0

Srilanka played too bad on the day. I agree India has one of the best team in the world but sirlanka also has a name in the cricket world. They should have played a little better and could have lost with dignity, and not by a one sided match.
India is really turning out to be world's number 1 team in cricket.

Full credit should be given to the Indian cricket team as it was a all round performance by them, batsman and bowlers did their job perfectly as needed. Virat Kohli scored excellent double centuty and another three centuries by Pujara, Vijay and Sharma helped india to set big score. Excellent bowling performance by Indian spinners, they never allowed Sri Lankan batsman to settle down.

I was hoping that Sri Lanka would take the match to the fifth day, but this was not to be. They crumbled under pressure. Ashwin picked up his 300th test wicket and he was the fastest to this milestone. India will go to South Africa feeling very confident.
