T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[LittleBitFunny]

He is talking like a stupid. Why will the match be fixed if India wins? We know that sometimes fixing happens in IPL, but it is difficult to fix in international matches. I am not a fan of Indian cricket. But to think that match-fixing will happen if India wins is nothing but stupidity. India played well so they won. Moreover, the performance of England's bowlers was not good. It is very difficult to win by batting for 199 runs. Moreover, England's top order was broken at the beginning of the match. India played well so they won. I don't see anything fixing here.

Agreed. There is no logic in fixing T20I matches, because their outcome is not very important. At least in ODI and Test formats, there are ICC Cricket World Cup Super League and the Test Championship respectively, where the points will be counted. On the other hand, results from the T20I matches will be forgotten as soon as the match is over. And irrespective of which team wins the match, the TV broadcasters will be paying the predefined amount to ECB. So I believe that this is just another baseless accusation without any proof.

The performance of the Indian players in both matches was outstanding. At the same time the performance of England's top-order players was very poor. If England's top-order players had played better, England would not have lost so badly in this match. On the other hand, BCCI would not benefit from fixing in T20 matches, if they wanted to win by fixing, they would have won the Test match against England by fixing. But India lost badly against England.

Very surprised to see White ball swinging more than Red ball in England this summer.

Anyway good to see that India is trying to change their approach in T-20 with the bat but it's just a bilateral series, in which they usually perform better but choke badly in ICC tournaments or what they call is "30 mins of bad cricket". Indians do have good bench strength so remaining bilateral series should be testing ground for them and see what combinations are working for them. Australian grounds are big and i doubt if they are going to pull up boundaries so need power hitters and variety in bowling.

Rohit Sharma's performance as captain for India T20 team has been fantastic. After adding yesterday's match this was his 14 consecutive win as a captain. He know where to place the fielder and which bowler needs to be introduced when a partnership starts to build. Considering his intelligent captaincy I think this time the performance of Indian cricket team in the upcoming ICC T20 tournament would be far much better than what it was last time.

When team wins then everything looks easy peasy, just saying but yeah Rohit does bring some sort of luck in cricketing field as skipper as compare to our dear panuti.

Ha! India is again going with another 4 more changes in the team, they also made 4 changes in 2nd game yesterday and doing the same tonight. Clearly checking out all the available options and not shying away.

This guy seems to claim every win of India to be a fixed match. He doesn't have any proof or perfect reason stating it to be a fixed match. 

I am sure they are trolling by making these claims because i see these absurd claims every now and then .

India played well in the second T20 as well but i was expecting England to play better but they are struggling with the team they are having. England is batting first tonight and hopefully they will set an huge total with the way they are scoring right now.

England 215/7, after 20 overs.
Dawid Malan sets up an exciting finish for England. Indian bowling department put up a poor performance. Fast bowling by Umran has been great, but speed isn't important without slower bowling mixture. There is a squad that includes all run machine bowlers.

India are now almost at the verge of whitewash. In reply to England 216 runs, India have scored 50 runs in 7 overs and lost three top order batsmen. Kohli as usual failed again today, win probability for England at the moment is 98%. India need to change there T20I squad.

Both teams scored a lot of runs in this T20 match. England has scored 215  in the 20 overs and lost 7 wickets. India is chasing at the moment and they need 74 runs from 33 balls. In any other match, I would have said that this does seem nearly impossible. However, Surya Kumar Yadav is still in the crease and has scored 86 from 44 balls.

So, even though the required run rate is 13.5 I think India still has a really high chance especially because they have 7 wickets in hand also.

Once after the wicket of Surya Kumar and Shreyas, there is no one to make a big score. It is much expected with Dinesh Karthik, but this time it is an disappointment. Anyhow the second match win have brought the series win. How the same England players didn't perform during the previous matches.

England Vs India
Congratulations to England for winning this match today.In today's match, Debit Malan scored 77 runs to make it easier for the team to win.After losing twice in a row, today they saw a huge victory.I think the reason they lost twice in a row is because of their lack of leadership. If they could lead well, they would definitely win.

England 215/7 (20)

India 198/9 (20)

England won by 17 runs

I think toss was a crucial factor as well if you see. India scored almost equivalent runs in all the 3 matches it was England's batting which struggled in the first two matches and recovered in the last one to help them win so I think maybe batting first was the key here. But I am still pretty satisfied with India's performance overall. They have played quite decently in all the 3 matches. Who knows if Pandya was in the team he might have scored the required runs in the end. He was in a good form in the first match. Tough to select best 16 in the world cup.

I was expecting a 3-0 whitewash, unfortunately it did not happen. Great batting by Surya Kumar and Malan. Again Kholi out for just 11 runs, his contribution as batter now days has been like this on any format of cricket. Now, his contribution as a fielder can also be questioned an easy catch was dropped by him. Still enjoyed the match thoroughly. The wicket was flat and any team batting first would have an upper edge. Spinners were in effective but I was expecting the Indian pacers to be strict.

India was not in the game when they came to bat since they lost there top three batsmen for just 31 runs. The match is all about Suryakumar Yadav batting, scored 117 runs on just 55 balls. But the problem is no one from other side supported him and that's why India lost the game.

After a dismal performance in the first two matches, England's victory in this match was very necessary. It would have been a shame for England if they had lost the series 3-0. We haven't seen a good innings from Virat Kohli in the entire series. I don't know how long the BCCI wait for Virat Kohli to return to form. But I personally think Kohli needs rest now.

Everyone thinks that Kohli needs rest and some new talent must find his way to team. But Indian captain along with selection board think that kohli can improve only if he is given more chances in the international matches. Meanwhile its a relief for England as they avoided a whitewash.

I was also feeling in this way because Team India done amazing job in first two T20 and there was chance for them to do this whitewash but as I check team news and having four changes this kill all my hopes because without your main bowlers this was no possible even new bowlers done good job but still this was not enough for having this result with this defeat now Rohit Sharma's winning streak is also ended.

Surely wicket was in batting favor and England batting line specially Malan having good time on crease which give them good target of 215 but at the end Team India still done good job specially from Suryakumar 117 is good signal for his future and better performance in the future.

Clearly, the changes made in yesterday's match were not good. They should have continued with the bowlers they had in the earlier match. Yes, testing before the ICC trophy is required but in my opinion, they should have done that when playing with a weaker team. I still feel if the same team was playing in the third match India would have won. If they wanted to replace someone they should have replaced Kohli.

In the last two T20 matches, India have not seen a bigger score from Kohli's bat. It is also a matter of concern. Since the T20 World Cup is going to be a few months later. However, the selection committee is still trying to have confidence in him. They are hoping that Kohli will return  the form by playing a international matches. However, there are a number of young talented players in India at the moment who could have done better if given the opportunity.

In last few weeks we have too much criticism about Virat Kohli but as things are going I am feeling there is no change going to happen because after few months we have mega event T20 World Cup and after this after some time we have another mega event ODI World Cup so most chances selectors will give him chance until these two events and if he fails to do something big then surely he is going to lose his place in all formats.

About these changes in last match of this series surely I was also not expecting because after this tour India is going to tour West Indies with having five T20, so they can give youngsters chance here which is not good because with this defeat now they can go under pressure in coming ODI series and England can player more aggressively which is not good for them.

England's target was very high and it was always going to be a struggle for India to reach the total. I must say, though, that India played very well to reach 198 runs. Suryakumar Yadav played really well for his century. But the problem is he didn't get any help at all from any of his teammates. Shreyas Iyer did try to provide some help in combat, but he was not scoring at a high rate which was needed for India. If Suryakumar Yadav had a little help I think India could have won the match. And I think this should be an indication for Virat Kohli. He must really take a break otherwise he is just taking up space of a player who can be given a chance.
