Well Pakistan will keep their number #1 T20 ranking after beating Australia again. The Australia top order can't seem to fire in this series and its not like they are chasing huge totals to win so I don't understand why they are batting the way they are. Maxwell played well and almost got Australia to victory but there was no support from the other batsman except for Nathan Coulter-Nile. Pakistan deserved the win and to keep their number #1 T20 ranking.

Maxwell played well

Lol, You have got to be kidding me. Just shows you didn't even bother watching the match. The dude survived cuz of two dropped catches. It was another shitshow by the Aussies, Kinda Disappointed. They had another collapse in the middle order today and were a bit unlucky with D'arcy Short's runout decision but that doesn't change the fact that they chocked again. I mean the pitch wasn't deadly, it wasn't breaking at 90 degrees, everything was manageable till they decided to mess it up again. I mean how hard is to rotate the strike. Imad went for only 8 runs in his 4 overs that too in the powerplay. I mean I don't have words for how poorly Australia has performed in this tour.

Anyone interested in domestic cricket? Ranji Trophy is set to start from next month onward. This time, a record 37 teams are participating including the nine new teams (Bihar, Puducherry, Uttarakhand.etc).

3rd match between India vs WI is going tough. India require 100 runs in 16 overs and 6 wickets left. Kohli playing on 85 and if he stays for another 7 - 10  overs match is over. WI if picks up 2 quick wickets they have a good chance of winning this match as then India would come under pressure.

Kohli down as well. lost cause now. I do like Dhoni innings tho...  lol

Kohli made 3rd consecutive century but team did not do well to make this match win and WI beat India by 43 runs and level the series 1-1. This has bought the series live now and we can expect some firepower from WI now in this remaining matches.

Again great show from the Kohli three centuries in three matches but today there is no use for that century because of the Indian team was loss the match with 43 runs, the king Kohli give good fight until end and the series was levels 1-1.

[btcdevil]

As expected India lost the match, West Indies showed a good performance with batting and bowling. Now the series is level 1-1 with 1 draw game so the next 2 games will be interesting as the odi series is 5 match.

As usual England won the one off T20 match against Sri Lanka easily.

[vella85]

Its good to see the WI fight back in the series and get the win to tie the series with 2 games to go. Kohli has been a shinning light for India in this series just like he was in the test series. I thought that 283 was a decent score for the WI and that they had to bowl well to restrict India which they did so it was a great all round performance by them and they deserved the win. The next match will be interesting now that the series is tied.

Indian team is slowly turning to a one-man army lead by Kohli. The situation was never this bad, even during the peak years of Sachin Tendulkar. Back then, there were promising batsmen like Ganguly and Dravid. But right now there is no one else to give support to Kohli.

It was a brilliant match and all credits go to West Indies for playing the way they played, also a special mention for the Indian captain he played a brilliant knock, but it was in vain. I feel the team is heavily relied on the Indian captain to bail them out, and its high time other players step up and start to contribute. Prior this match there was lot of uproar over Ms Dhoni being rested for t20, but he once again showed why he's the best wicket keeper with his on field actions.

The last match of the T20 series between Australia and Pakistan is starting to get very interesting. Australia has lost 3 wickets till now, but still, they're managing to maintain the good run-rate of around 9 runs per over.

I'm guessing Pakistan will complete the T20 series clean sweep by winning again. This will be the 10th consecutive T20 series win for Pakistan.

[ragavancoin]

The Australia team can win today T20 match? Because the Australia need 89 runs in 74 balls with 6 wkts remaining but my guess is the Pakistan going to win match because the Pakistan doing great bowling attack let's see what will happen in end.

Pakistan won the match by 33 runs and won the series with 3-0. This is amazing, tenth consecutive T20 series win; the last time Pakistani team lost any T20 series, it was in Shahid Afridi's captaincy, it's been a long time since then.

Sarfaraz Ahmed is a lucky, successful captain!

[vella85]

Congrats to Pakistan on winning the 3rd of final T20 match against Australia. They clean sweep Australia winning the series easily as Australia was no challenge for Pakistan in any of the 3 matches. Again the total Pakistan posted was huge and Australia were in the match but once again their batting let them down. Its amazing that Pakistan have won 10 T20 series in a row, that must be some record?

[onrise]

4th Odi between India vs WI have started and after winning the toss India decided to bat first. India got a good start and are now 242/2 in 38 overs. Kohli got out quickly this time but Rohit is playing on 118 runs and Raydu is supporting him at 60. This will be another 325+ runs score and need to see how well WI bat on this pitch.

[JSRAW]

Would love to see another close match, Pitch looks like a graveyard for bowlers lol. Now its all up to Windies batsmen.

After a good start from West Indies, 3 wickets in 6 balls, bhuvneshwar took 2 wickets and bumrah 1 wickets in this 6 balls, it is a big blow and now it looks hard for WI to win, now let see with how many runs they are going to lose them the match. If India wins today then they will be in 2-1 ration and last match will become more interesting.

Again the total Pakistan posted was huge

You are kidding, right? I never knew a total of 150 was considered a "Huge" target in the t20 format. It's a below average total if you ask me.

Australia were in the match but once again their batting let them down.

Except for the first over of Imad Wasim, they were never "in-game". I mean if you look the teams on paper, Austrailia had a squad which could chase down totals of 180+ easily. They had the "explosive" batsmen in their line-up but the only problem with them in this series was that they didn't play "smart cricket". Just look at how Babar Azam did the trick for Pakistan. He got his 50s on a strike rate of around 110-120. Nothing "explosive" Yet it got them to a decent total in each game. I mean if you look at the wickets of Chris Lyin and Maxwell in yesterday's match they all got out trying to clear the boundary when it wasn't required. I mean how hard is to rotate the strike? Teams like Austrailia are known for their strike rotation and yet they failed to do it in this series...

Yes sorry, I was meant to say not huge lol sometimes I type too fast and leave out words.

WOW! what an innings by India with Rohit Sharma putting on a show scoring 162 runs, that was an amazing innings by him. This time it wasn't Kohli scoring all the runs as Ambati Rayudu also scored a century to set up India's huge total which was going to be tough for the WI to chase down which proved to be the case as they lost by 224 runs. Can the WI bounce back in game 5 to make the series a tie or will India dominate again?
