Cricket match prediction discussions

[katarin2030]

Australian Batsman are not able to stand the SA, quite good bowling. 225 for 5 wickets with top 5 already down. 300 can be still put on board by tailender, which would still be a good score. I think, Australia should have taken bowling first, but as per the current form of SA, its pretty tough to predict or guess anything.

I think when a touring side wins a toss they bat most times and maybe this time Steve Smith got it wrong however almost all the Australian batsman got starts but none went onto make that big hundred so I think there is something in the pitch for both the batters and bowlers. If Australia can make 300+ runs I think that will be a competitive total to bowl to as we know the Australia pace attack is one of the best in the world so SA will need to bat well against them. Day 2 will be an interesting day to see which team can come out on top because right now I think its even.

225/5 is a decent score but you are right on this pitch making big score is not easy i think AUS can make 350 plus runs in 1st innings. SA needs to bat well to save this test AUS got good bowling line up I don't know how SA batsman will face AUS fast bowlers. Now the match depends on SA 1st innings if they play well then it will interesting or esle it will become one side game.

After Australia all out for respectable total of 351, maharaja took 5 wickets that helped south Africa to restrict Australia for 351.Saf started their 1st innings Nathan lyon strikes in his 1st over by picking Elgar and Amla. Pitch looks like spinner friendly so it  would be very difficult to bat on 4th and 5th day.

South Africa lost 3 wickets for 57 runs. they lost 3 main wickets Elgar, Amala and Aiden and they trail by 294 runs. Now ABD and FDP are playing if AUS manage to take this 2 wickets then they will take lead in 1st innings it will become easy to win this test match. why SA is struggling on the home ground I am not understanding.

The Australian tail did well to get the total over 350 runs which I thought was a good enough total on this pitch and it turned out that it was more then enough as the Australia bowlers ripped through the South African batting line up bowling them all out for 162 runs in just over 50 overs. I can't see Australia losing this test match now unless they fail and get bowled out for less then 150 runs but even then it will be a tough ask for South Africa to chase down even 250 runs. That was an amazing bowling performance by Strac, the South African batters found him very difficult to play against and he deserved his 5 wickets, Lyon also bowled well to pick up 3 wickets.

Today third one-day match between England and NZ. Both teams already won each match and this series is draw condition so this match is quite important for both teams to lead the series. New Zealand won the toss and elected to field first. England start is not so good in this match because in 24 hours they scored just 80 runs and lost three wickets. If they continue like this then they may reach hardly 200 runs in this match which will be quite less to defend in a one-day match.

They maintained wickets but the score is less 202/6 45 over completed. next 5 overs I think they can make 50 runs if they lose wickets the runs will reduce. expecting 250 runs target this is a good score for England to restrict NZ batsman.

SA vs AUS test match SA all out in 1st innings just 162 runs they trail by 189 runs. my guess AUS will win this test match.

Looks like NZ will seal the 3rd ODI against England.NZ needs more 147 runs to reach the winning margin and they have 8 wickets in hand.So it will be a very easy win for them.England scored 234 runs from 50overs.Once again, a very good bowling performance from NZ bowlers.If this match win by Nz Then the series will be 2-1 for NZ.

NZ started badly and have lost 4 wickets in just 98 runs from 22 overs. They still need 137 runs in 28 overs and 6 wickets in hand. Another quick wicket will help England to get an upper edge in the rest of match. It might go down and make it more interesting if NZ keep making runs and wickets also keep falling at regular intervals.

Now the match is in a very interesting because NZ needs another 16 runs in 9 balls and just two more wickets are in hand. NZ still got a chance to win this match because their star batsman Williamson is still playing at 102 runs. If he gets more chance to play the ball then they may win. Let's see who will manage well these last few balls to win the match.

Edit - England won this match by 4 runs.

What a match we had, a nail biting finish and England won the match by just four runs. Kane Williamson century went in vein, but he batted beautifully along with Santner. England now leading the series by 2-1. England held their nerve in the crucial time and bowled really well and managed to win the match.

Low score match but very close encounter especially last overs are very exciting. bad luck NZ lost the game in just 4 runs. both team bowlers bowled superbly but England bowled well at the end.

Australia batting well in 2nd innings lost 2 wickets for 106 runs and they lead by 295 runs. no doubt AUS will win this game.

A dramatical win for England.After scoring 234 runs by England, it was looked like NZ will easily win this match.But England bowlers bowled very well and won by 4 runs.A brilliant game of cricket it was.But it was so frustrating for NZ.They came so near of the winning margin but couldn't seal the match.Williamson made a century but it didn't worthy of winning. Anyway, after this match England is ahead of the series by 2-1.

This is where NZ are still behind when compared to other top teams in the world . They have good team with talented players but fail to win easy matches and they often win close ones . It was an interesting contest though

It was a really close match,the pitch was really difficult to bat on and England just pulled off a good win in the end ,even with Williamson on the crease till the last over,they could not pull off the victory as Woakes bowled a pretty good last over and Moin Ali made the difference by taking three wickets and the run of Santner made the difference.

It was another good day for Australia batting however again most of the players got starts but couldn't go onto making that hundred. I thought South Africa bowled well to restrict Australia to just over 200 runs which they needed to if they have any chance of winning this test match. Australia now lead by 402 runs with 1 wicket remaining, they will try and get as many runs with this final wicket to make it very hard for South Africa, well it is hard now to chase 402 runs on this pitch and facing the Australia bowlers. Australia should win this test match from here with 2 days to go, I actually think it will be all over on day 4 if Australia bowl like they did in the 1st innings.

I think Australia already got a good number of runs on the board to win this match since still lot of time left they are still playing the second innings. SA didn't bet well in the first innings put them on a backtrack on this match otherwise Australia second innings score is not so much to chase. Since SA got a still time to chase these runs so they should concentrate on building good partnerships. Let's see how they play in second innings.

Australia have set South Africa a target of 417 and I do not think South Africa can harbour any hopes of chasing or saving this match. In their reply in the second innings, South Africa have already lost 4 wickets with only 50 runs on the board. AB DeVilliers was run out - you don't expect such things to happen in test matches.

The match is on a very exciting mode as South Africa now requires 281 runs and have 6 wickets left. Markram is playing at 76 and Bruyn art 36. If both can stay for another 100 runs match will tilt to Africa side. Oz on other will require 2 quick wickets to come back in the match now.

Now South Africa require another 265 runs and they left with another five wickets and currently, they scored just 148 runs for the first five wickets. I don't think SA rest of the batsman can score another 265 runs. This match now one-sided and Australia going to win the match.

Australia will win this match easily, South Africa already lost half of their side still need 259 runs. Not easy to score especially in the 4th innings and with the kind of bowling attack Australia has it will be very difficult to win the match for Saf. It's a matter of time they will pick up the remaining 5 wickets without any fuss.

Now South Africa require another 265 runs and they left with another five wickets and currently, they scored just 148 runs for the first five wickets. I don't think SA rest of the batsman can score another 265 runs. This match now one-sided and Australia going to win the match.

Full credit should be given to the England's bowlers, their death bowling was impressive. Feeling sad for Williamson as no one stood with him and also his century goes into vain. At the end, NZ was short by the 4 runs and they lost this close encounter.
