Cricket match prediction discussions

[equator]

IND vs SA : India managed to bowled out SA before 300 runs and it could be considered as a good performance. Good fight given by the AB Devillieres, Duplesis, D'cock and Maharaj; which helped SA to score descent runs in the 1st innings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was very impressive, full credit should be given to the indian bowlers. Now it will be a real test for the indian batsman, facing dale steyn is not a joke.

SA at least managed to score 286 runs with the help of ABD, FDP and Kock but now I doubt that India can reach this score. They also lost 3 early wickets just for 25 runs. SA bowlers look very dangerous to compare Indian bowlers. I think this match will end very soon it will not go the 5th day of the match .

In spite of the 3 early wickets, I think India still hold a slight edge. If they can manage to navigate the first session tomorrow without losing any wickets, then the pitch will become easier to bat on. The Indian bowlers will be disappointed that their efforts are being neutralized by the South African bowlers taking wickets as well.

The current pair is the last hope as if they both get settled then they can score high and give India a good score to defend it.

If Rohit Sharma and Pujara gets out then India will be in a big trouble, they have to show some patience and they should leave the difficult deliveries instead of getting caught behind. Dale Steyn is in superb form, it will be interesting to see how indian batsman tackle this difficult session. 

It doesn't look good for India. Both Rohit Sharma and Pujara are now out, and the score is 81/5. You cannot expect Ashwin and the other tail-enders to last too long against Steyn and Co. The Indian batsmen have surrendered the advantage that the bowlers got them on day 1.

Now India 131 for 7 wickets. I was expected Indian batsman will not play so good and these fast tracks but today's performance is even worse than what I was expected. Only Pandya scored 50+ runs and rest all others got out cheaply. SA will win this match easily and mostly they can win this series as well also.

Yup that's what I feel too , SA will win this match for sure and most probably series too . Hardik is still playing well and he might go on to score a century but it won't be enough according to me. SA might post 400 as target and Indians will fail to chase it down.

Nothing can be told about it what if India bowlers bowl well and restrict South Africa with less then 200 runs and chase it. Anything can happen. I think pitch will start to change from 3rd day and batting will be easy, If this pair make India score above 300+ that will be very good boost for indian players. Their are more batting and bowling have to come in second innings.

This is the toughest pitch to bat that a visiting team can get suffer in their very first innings of a series overseas, and this is the most lethal attack of SA too! All this knocks are temporary. One poor innings you can't start jumping to conclusions, there 3 days behind though.

India couldnt resist the south african attack and got all out for 209.Playing aggressive cricket was the need here and hardik proved it.It would take some time for the Indian team to get used to the conditions.

India will be under huge pressure in this game from now on. SA has already a lead of 77 runs and even if they make 250 runs in 2nd innings still India would have to bat 4th and make 325 to win the match which will be difficult . So mostly game is slipping in SA favor already.

Well it was in SA favor a lot before Pandya came. So literally anything can be expected. Just few hours back it was starting to look like a one-sided game, but now it's more or less equally favorable for both the teams.

This match is a lost cause for India. The pitch has now improved, although I wouldn't say batting is easy. South Africa have already reached 52/0 and have a 77 run lead in the first innings. They are going to set India a target of 400-500 runs to get, with 2 full days to play out. India cannot withstand such pressure and will collapse.

Pitch is still lethal for batsman to hold wickets, already 2 wickets fell of South Africa at 65 runs. Its a very unpredictable match. The batsman are not able to hold on for much time and that's making it a difficult match. Lets see what happens on the third day, India do has a very tight and hard chance to see a win. Everybody expected this to happen as SA is in tremendous form.

SA have a chance to win this test match. They lost 2 wickets for 65 runs, but they lead by 142 runs. if they make 200 more runs tomorrow, it will be tough for India to win this game. My guessing is SA will win this match but suppose if India bat well in 2nd innings anything can happen.

Now South Africa must do some good batting and give big target for win this match because now they are short of one bowler Dale Steyn which is not good sign for them minimum 400 runs target is very good for them as they have good batting line up and all need to perform some good innings

Australia are now in a strong position to win this 5th and final test match. If they can bat almost all day today and get at least get a 380+ runs lead they should win as I can see England batting for a full day. Australia if all goes to plan will most likely bat until just after the tea break, then declare and put England into bat with around 15 overs left in the day and try and get a couple of quick wickets. Its all in Australia's favour right now.

They didn't get 380+ but I don't think it matters because its just first innings of theirs . England in deep trouble as they lost 4 wickets already and have 100+ overs to play Easy win for Aussies if you ask me .

It should be an easy victory for Australia, England have lost 4 wickets and this is the last recognized pair at the crease. England might think that Joe Root might have the ability to save this test match, but it isn't easy when you are batting under pressure in the fourth innings. Plus if a wicket falls, you expose the tail to the Australian attack.

Today's day was in favor of South Africa and they had a total control of their innings and once the rain started, this became a spoiler of the day with the match not in control of any of the teams.

[chris200x9]

Yup that's what I feel too , SA will win this match for sure and most probably series too . Hardik is still playing well and he might go on to score a century but it won't be enough according to me. SA might post 400 as target and Indians will fail to chase it down.

Today's match delayed due to rain so match did not start yet. If India needs to draw this match then only rain can help them otherwise no way India can try for drawing this match. SA is in a very good position to win this match but let's see whether rain can help India in this match. South Africa lead by 142 runs and still, they got 8 wickets remaining in this second innings.

Still, a lot of time left in the game once South Africa takes a lead of 250+ then it will be very difficult for India, already seen how Indian batsman's struggled against Saf fast bowling attack. It's clearly Saf match even though Dale Steyn out of the game because of injury Rabada,Morkel and Philander can do the job for SAF.

[eaLiTy]

Today's day was in favor of South Africa and they had a total control of their innings and once the rain started, this became a spoiler of the day with the match not in control of any of the teams.

The entire day was washed out because of rain and if the rain continues India does have a chance to draw this match and with Dayle Steyn injured there is a possibility that they could bat for a longer time and draw this match,if not India would have lost this game easily,Hardik Pandiya is the only player who showed some class with his batting and bowling.

India must pick up the wickets as soon as possible and bat for a longer period of time to save this match,the rain has helped them today if not there was no hope for India to survive in this match with the terrible first innings performance apart from Pandya,if not for his brilliant effort India would have surrendered early,i was skeptical about his presence in the team for test matches but now i understand his value in the team.

If South Africa bat well, they have to think about a declaration. Even though a score of 250 might be difficult, no team would take a risk by setting such an achievable target. South Africa would want to set Kohli and Co a target of at least 350 runs (if not more). The loss of time due to rain might let India escape with a draw in this match.

[vella85]

Australia are in a very strong position now to go on and win this test match, they have a full day to bowl England out and just need 6 wickets on a pitch that will start to break up as the day goes on so Lyon will be vital in Australia winning this final test match and making it a 4-0 series win.

Now still got two more days in this match and if SA can add another just 150 runs to their total will be good enough to win this match. But don't know yet whether tomorrow also rain will stop this match or not. India will be very happy if again rain stops this match tomorrow because they can try for a draw this match and avoid losing the first test match.

Australia didn't have to try too hard. England folded up for 180 runs in the second innings, giving Australia a victory by an innings and 123 runs. So Australia take the Ashes 4-0. Joe Root, who was the batsman who could have held things up, was retired hurt and did not return due to gastroentritis. With this loss, England have lost more test matches than they have won on an overall basis.
