T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Also, who is Jitesh Sharma?

^^^ I was also surprised when I heard about Jitesh Sharma. He plays for Vidarbha as a wicket keeper and represents Punjab Kings in the IPL. But the joke is that he is not a regular in either of the two teams. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Prabhsimran Singh are the first choice keepers for the Kings, while Vidarbha mostly rely on Akshay Wadkar. I don't know from where the name of Jitesh suddenly came up for consideration. To be frank I was expecting that either KS Bharat or Anuj Rawat maybe named as the replacement for Sanju Samson.

He's stylish WK Batter and known for his big hitting, similar to Pant.

He didn't get much opportunity in the IPL but he impressed everyone with his power and his SR is close to 170 in IPL.

In domestic T-20 too he has almost 150 SR in 70 odd matches.

OK.. Let's see what he has to offer. Anyway it is good that the Indian selectors decided to go for someone who is young rather than once again turning back to Dinesh Karthik. India need to have decent options for keeper apart from Pant/Rahul/Kishan/Samson. And this is where the A and U-23 tours might have helped. Unfortunately there have been no tours for the past 6 months or so. If he is as good as his stats suggest, then fans of Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson may get disappointed. Still there is no guarantee that he may get even a single match.

Yeah, lets see his ability. Indian team's selection committee giving opportunity to the young players is really hard thing. Now he needs to utilise the opportunity and India is a team that have got good number of wicket keepers. Atleast he have entered the squad. Sri Lanka will play better in this match after the unexpected defeat in the first T-20.

India vs Sirlanka 2nd T20
India chose to field first which is till now not going in their favour as they didn't take one single wicket . Sirlanka is on 78 runs after 7 overs .
Today Sirlanka is batting very well , current run rate is almost 10 . If they continue to bat like this they'll give a good target to India.

India VS Srilanka

The second T20 match between these two countries will be played today. India won the last match due to impressive bowling and fielding but they are struggling will the batting. I hope today they work on their weakness. Pathetic performance by Sanju Samson dropped an easy catch and did not even bat well. If he continues like this then he might get dropped permanently. Subhman Gill's debut match was a disaster. If he wants to permanent his berth in the T20 squad he needs to play big innings. I have a feeling that they both get dropped in today's match.

Srilanka losing an easy match earlier would have realised that they need to work a lot on their batting. They also need batters who can start a partnership rather than going after the bowlers. If they lose today they would lose the series. I am expecting another close encounter between these two today.

There have been many changes in the Indian team for this series. In this match of India against Sri Lanka, well-known and popular players of the Indian national team has taken a leave . Although the previous match of Indian team against Sri Lanka team was very exciting. I hope India can prove it by winning 3 matches in the whole series against Sri Lanka.

India balling side was struggling at start of the match but now they are back on form 2 wickets in 2 overs . Still sirlanka is on 90 runs in 9 overs that means they are very much in game. Sirlanka can give target of 180 190 with this batting and run rate .

Sri Lanka scored 98 for 3 and played 12 overs and have more 8 overs to play. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis scored fairly well but Bhanuka Rajapaksa was dismissed for just two runs.  This is not a big problem as they still have seven wickets left and only 8 overs left to play so they will be able to play full 20 overs and maybe they can score 160 to 170 runs but as India is a very good cricket team they will  Can beat them by cross the run

[BobK71]

India won because of excellent bowling. Sri Lanka needed 40 runs in the last 4 overs. They failed to collect it. One of the main reasons for Sri Lanka's defeat was their slow batting. Their collection was only 35 runs in the first 5 overs of the power play. The top order players batted like fools. However, the second match looks to be more competitive.

Yeah, India done excellent bowling, but they have not won just because of their bowing they won just because they were lucky in yesterday game otherwise Sri Lanka done good fight, and they lost because they lost few quick early wickets and have done good job in last few overs which helps them for having lost by just two runs as they were losing quick wickets I was expecting big margin win for India but at the end just poor selection of shots give them setback, and they were unable to score five runs from their last three balls even they achieve eight runs in first three balls which was turning point for them, but last three balls completely outclass them, and they lost this match.

In the beginning, Sri Lanka played aggressive batting due to which they are quite ahead in terms of runs. An innings of 52 runs from 31 balls by Kusal Mendis influenced the movement of the entire match. After falling his wicket Sri Lanka has moved downwards. Where their first wicket was 79 runs but the fall of two wickets the run rate reduce massively. Sri Lanka's current collection is 108 runs in 13 overs. We will have to wait a few more overs to see where the match turning.

I would say that Sri Lanka playing very well in this match and their score 146 runs with 6 wickets down in 16.4 overs. They are still 3 overs left in the match and Sri Lanka does not lose their remaining basement quickly they can easily score around 30 to 35 runs which will take the score to round 170 + runs.

I believe that 170 + runs will be a very nice total and India will have to chase this score,  they need to bat good on this track.

It's seem Sri Lanka is going to easily crossing 180 today. In terms of batting performance, they played excellent today. I didn't see much lacking in their batting today. But it's true that the way they were playing in the beginning was a bit slow in the middle.  But over all I think this innings is going to be good for Sri Lanka. And finally I think today is going to be a good finish for Sri Lanka.  
I think if Sri Lanka can do little good  performance in bowling sector then today's match will go in their favour.  I am going to take Sri Lanka for my betting today.

[pakhitheboss]

WTF! Arshdeep Singh! I never expected this guy to give tons of run through no ball. Such performance would hamper his permanent slot in T20 team. Shivam was also ineffective today but one man who has be consistent is Umran. I want this guy to play more cricket. In the end Srilanka got to 200 runs. In my opinion Srilanka would win as India's batting is in a terrible state. If India is able to chase then it would be a miracle.

[JSRAW]

Oh, boy Lankans belted badly Indian bowlers tonight, except for the middle part. Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka and skipper Dasun Shanaka were brutal and too good for Indians.

And what a terrible day for Young Arshdeep, he had a really bad day at work. The way he was bowling no ball after no ball, i started feeling bad for him lol.

Anyway, let's hope for some dew and a successful chase, although at this ground team batting first wins most of the time.

The Sri Lankan team played very well and they were able to give a target of 207 runs against India team. Hope they keep an eye on the batting site of India team because they could not show their batting skills well in their previous match. Hope that today they will give their best to win against Sri Lanka.

Since it is a big target, India should not have done anything quickly from the beginning. With their top 3 wickets falling, the match is going to Sri Lanka's favor. If Hardik Pandya can hold on to the pitch and fight in a very reliable position, it will be possible to take the match come out. Otherwise India will fail to go far due to fall of wickets. The power play didn't play the way it should have. Indian openers could not play like an experienced player. This is why it is sometimes said that some senior players are needed for Indian team.

Sirlanka played a smashing innings today 206 runs is an outstanding target .
India already lost 4 wickets 36 runs this is some poor batting from India.  The match is already on Sirlankan side and its their win for sure unless Suryakumar Yadav do some magic on crease with his fierce batting.

In today's second T20 match, Sri Lanka is completely in possession, to say that Sri Lanka will win today's match. So far, India have lost four wickets for 44 runs at the end of the allotted seven overs. 164 runs from 80 balls only time will tell. However, in today's match, the first class batsmen performed very badly and the Indian bowlers gave a flood of wides and no balls.

Hardik Pandya is already out by scoring only 12 run . And it's seems India already in underpressure by Sri Lanka .Sri Lanka's batting performance was excellent today, especially Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka's 80-run partnership put Sri Lanka in a good opening position. India has scored only 47 runs in seven overs and they have already lost four wickets and their run rate has started to decrease gradually I think today Sri Lanka is going to win the match and level the series 1-1. The same can be understood by looking at the graph of run rate.

There is no chance for India to win this match. Either they have played so badly or Sri Lanka have bowled so well that India are completely out of the match. Those who could have changed the match did not survive. As a result, India will have to accept a certain defeat. Moreover, their style of play seems to have given up hope of winning the match. Now a respectable run rate is required. However, there is no excitement in such one-sided matches, especially the helpless defeat of a team like India, many will not be able to accept.

Sri lanka played a great game today which was really unbelievable and India though a very good cricket team but they are under a lot of pressure now Indian have only 8 overs left and they have to score 123 runs in these 8 overs.  For which they need to score an average of 16 runs per over.  If not, they will have to lose to Sri Lanka today . India are trying hard to collect more runs but how successful their efforts will be is yet to be predicted very well and with no guarantee.

When India lost the 5th wicket for 57 runs the game was done and dusted but Axar Patel and Suryakumar Yadav played some incredible shorts and took team to the final overs and was surprised with the way Shivam Mavi was striking the ball.

Indian bowlers bowled too many no balls especially Arshdeep Singh who gave away 5 no balls and Sri Lanka was able to score runs with the free hit and that eased the pressure and gave them the opportunity to take the score to 206 runs.
