T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[onecall123]

Sri Lanka scored 59 runs in the last 3 overs, which was completely unexpected. We never imagined that Sri Lanka would bat so well against experienced Australian bowlers.

This surprised me as well. They batted like crap in the first matches while their bowlers performed really well, but it was the complete opposite in this particular match.

Shanaka was brilliant, but there were many useful contributions from several other players which helped them win this one. They really needed the win considering the fact that their country is reeling in economic turmoil these days.

Shanaka scored the most important runs, and from the very beginning of the innings every player have contributed little runs and this has driven Sri Lanka towards a win. Finally the win have made Australia win the series 2-1, if not this could've been a shame of losing all matches in the home ground.

I saw a great match, Sri Lankans are known for that. The Skipper Dasun Shanaka played an outstanding knock. In Pallekele, Sri Lanka's captain rides a wave of late heroics to lead his team to a thrilling victory. As Sri Lanka hit 59 in the last three overs, Dasun Shanaka leads the way as this young blood can do anything special in the future to restore the peak form to the team. They did wonders out of nowhere and avoided being whitewashed.

Did anyone followed the match between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe? They won the first T20I with relative ease. The tour consists of 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs, and so far Afghanistan has won all the matches. They could have included one test match as well. I don't even remember the last time I saw these two teams playing test format. Anyway, winning 4 matches on the trot is quite encouraging for a team like Afghanistan, and that too away from home. They are performing quite well, despite all the trouble with Taliban.

Afghanistan is undoubtedly one of the well known cricket teams in the world. We saw  that last three ODI and One T20 match finish between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe where all the matches own by Afghanistan. Definitely the whole experience of the different leagues is good for the players, In this concern Afghan team have enough experience especially on T20 format. Actually most of the predictor think that all the matches will be owned by Afghan with Zimbabwe.

Similar to Shanaka I see Dilshan in the past. He used to perform similarly in the opening order and here Shanaka have made the country cheer amidst the bad economic conditions. With this young blood the team can't make big wins for a long, combined effort is a must as yesterday's match. Everyone need to take responsibility if a player who is expected to perform well didn't do good. Once Sri Lanka was strong enough to win any team and slowly it needs to regain its position.

I never expected Srilanka to win the last T20 match of this series. After losing two matches I was in the impression that this series would be a complete whitewash. Just checked the highlights of this match and the top order of the Srilankan batting played pathetically. If it was not for the captain then obviously they would have lost the match.

There are both good and worry aspect of this series. Good thing is Afghanistan is playing good cricket and they will very soon become ICC permanent member. Bug worrying sign is that we have lost a good test playing side, performance of Zimbabwe is continuously going down.

I tell you ladies.

Bilateral cricket is about to fuck up in international cricket (rightly so, except test cricket), at least in the biggest market. According to some reliable journalists IPL media rights auction already crossed the base amount (it's only for A+B category) and it's kinda 2 days affair.

[Naficopa]

What a win by Srilanka yesterday. I just opened the score card to see the margin with which Srilanka lost the 3rd T20I but to my surprise it was victory for Srilanka. Dasun Shanaka played a captain knock by scoring a not out innings of 54 runs. This indicates the fact that Srilanka still is a team that can beat best teams.

I read an article regarding this today, the battle between the richest people in the world for the IPL media rights to get the bragging rights and possible exposure for their media platforms, Mukesh Ambani and Jeff Bezos to battle for the bid and then there is Disney who is sending their top executives for the media rights and it is going to be a record breaking event as per experts in the article i read  . Good time for the BCCI when there are battles for the media rights as they are the ultimate winners  .

To be honest, none words can characterize that moment. I've no trust on Sri Lanka as in light of the fact that Aussie hitters set a monstrous total. T20 series have lost but that that third t20 match win definite will give them boost as they're heading ODI series. Thank you for entertaining us Dasun Shanaka, you're excellence.

Yeah, apart from bragging rights /ego etc, now it came down  to owning prime time slots and ours drawing rooms.

It's not about cricket anymore, some might say it was never about cricket anyway, which i partially agree, thanks to Lalit modi. He was corrupt af but i've no hesitation to say that guy was visionary.

Anybody watching the second T-20 match between India and South Africa. South Africa have won the toss and decided to bowl. Already South Africa have won the first T20 of the 5 match T20 series. In this match India is performing very bad. During the final overs it has lost unwanted wickets. Somehow India managed to score 148 runs. South Africa innings will be an easy one, because the players love chasing targets.

South Africa in reply have lost the wicket of Reeza Hendricks who is bowled out by Kumar. 148 is not a big target, SA in first T20I successfully chased a target of 200+. Based on previous match result it seems like SA will win today's game also. But you never know what's ahead.

South Africa have lost four wickets scoring 98 runs in 13 overs. This way South Africa keeps the run rate on the good side even when there is fall of wickets. Two more wickets is necessary for India to win the match, but this isn't gonna happen. The players on the crease are Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. Already Klaasen have reached 50 runs in 31 balls, so he'll take advantage and try to contribute more taking less balls.

Sony -> Star India -> ? Some big players are bidding like crazy and I think a new player might win the rights this time around. Also, Ganguly actually mentioned that IPL is even more popular than EPL these days which isn't hard to believe.

Agreed. Never did like Lalit Modi, but he definitely started something revolutionary whether anyone agrees or not. Wonder what he's upto these days.

India lost the second match as well as the first T20. Indian players have been playing in the IPL for a long time, at the same time India is the host of this series. However, their performance in both the matches was poor. In the first match, India lost badly despite giving a huge target of 212 runs. In today's match, India has given a target of only 149 runs. Heinrich Klaasen's devastating 81 off 48 balls helped South Africa to win today. With three matches left in the series, India's chances of winning the series still exist.

The bowling performance of India has some certain problems right now. Of course, Bhubaneswar Kumar and Harshal Patel bowled well but that was not enough. The other bowlers did not do too well at all.

I also think that India could have put a few more runs on the board. I think they were at least 20 runs short. The run rate was not good in India. And South Africa basically played out the bowlers that were playing really well and they went after the other bowlers. I know that the chance of India winning the series is still alive but it is going to be really hard for India to do so.

The problem is cricket has always been a place of revenue for all the people that are interested in cricket except for the fans. Even a lot of players also think of cricket as an easy way of money. And under these situations, cricket cannot prosper. Actually, when ICC itself is corrupt no one else cannot do anything.

It was meant to be as the target was low. South Africa now leading the 5 match T20 series with two victory. I believe that South Africa will win this series. India lost the first match for their poor bowling figure during the death overs. And they lost the match today as their batsmen failed to set a big target. Indian team should change their game plan. South Africa won the toss and decided to bat bowl first in both match. And they have chased the target without any difficulties. South Africa will do the same thing if they win the toss in next match.

The Indian players were extra confident after delivering a big target in the first match. This is why they have been defeated. The performance of the bowler was weak, and Indian fielding was not good. In the second match, the performance of both Indian batsmen and bowlers both was poor. With a target of only 149 runs, it was not possible for South Africa to win against this experienced team.

I totally agree with you. India lost the first match due to overconfidence. Otherwise, 212 was a good enough target for India to win. But South Africa easily won the match by collecting 212 runs. However, the bowling of Indian bowlers was uncontrolled in the second match as well. South Africa lost 3 wickets for just 29 runs. And South Africa's collection in 8 over was only 36 runs. But South Africa scored 138 runs in 16 overs. South Africa scored 102 runs in just 8 overs. With such uncontrolled bowling, India will also lose in upcoming matches.
