T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[BobK71]

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.

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.

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.

But India was doing well towards the end. After the fall of Suryakumar Yadav's wicket, India could not go further. Although there was some expectation of winning the match but it didn't happen. Axar Patel got out at a time when the team was in a big crisis. The turning point of the match was when 26 runs were needed from 9 balls. Shivam Mavi played a few more balls according to the team's position that is why the match face difficult equation and finally India lost the match.

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.

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.

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.

India opening batter didn't support his team through batting while chasing, they are completely failed. but hats off to the only two performer Axar who play brilliantly by smashing half dozen six and also the SuryaKumar who help India to fight back but unfortunately they didn't win, while the SiriLankan batter are on fire today especially the SiriLankan captain who performed today and in  previous match too they smash every signal indian bowler.

India didn't play that much badly as I thought after seeing the first part of this match, but congratulations to Sri Lanka managed to come back in the series with a great performance today. But I think the performance that India gave towards the last I think if they had given their opening batsmen or top order batsmen then I think they would have had a chance to win.  And if I continue like today then India will lose the next match too so now India should think about batting or management.

[noormcs5]

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.

Unexpectedly this series matches are close ones and giving tense entertainment due to close finishes between them. The first match was teaser where India won by only 2 runs and in this high scoring match, India lost the match but still scored 190 runs in the match. I though India will be able to dominate the series but this is not to be.
Srilankan team means business here and we will have a final decisive battle between them at Rajkot on Saturday.

[Mahdirakib]

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.

Indian bowlers have given some extra no balls, but you can't deny that Sri Lankan players have batted very well too. Sri Lankan captain, Dasun Shanaka deserves all the credit for this victory. He showed outstanding performance with his batting and bowling. I had become his fan after watching his powerful performance against Australia. Axar Patel has played well today, India would have won the match if the top order players batted with more responsibilities.

[teosanru]

Good game by Sri Lanka today they batted really well. I have seen Sri Lanka's performance is altogether different when it comes to subcontinent pitches and absolutely different when they go out side it. Probably this is because of their local league as well. Players are acclimatized with playing in the Sub continent conditions but fail to make an impact when they play in England or Australia.

Its like a comeback performance from Sri Lanka. The score that got falling at the mid overs were well compensated. Good performance from batting and bowling lineup. India managed well to reach 206 runs, but they couldn't. The openers and the middle order completely down. There performance is a must to win in these kind of matches.

Indian bowlers aren't that confident. At times they shine good and at times it'll be a big problem. In the first match it was a success for them, but the same didn't give hands. One more thing, in T20 if a single mistake is made, it costs them big and I see this match one such to loss against Sri Lanka. Each match result makes the upcoming match more interesting.

[pakhitheboss]

Again the opening pair fail to give a good start and as usual the middle order was in shambles. The debutant Rahul tripathi was good on the fields, took some good catches but was shaky with his bat. I haven't seen any batter trying to play the hook shot but misses it and get hit on his helmet which goes for a four lol. Shivam Mavi did bowl well but contributed through his bat. If Axar and SKY had not formed that partnership then India would have collapsed within 150 runs. Considering 200+ is a good score score in T20 it was not that easy for India to chase that target.

[Sithara007]

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.

All the three bowlers whom you have mentioned were pathetic yesterday. I don't know what happened to Arshdeep Singh, and it was his poor performance which single-handedly lost the match for India. Umran was good until his last over, but then he conceded 20 runs by bowling in a wayward manner. Mavi was extremely expensive. All three went for more than 12 runs per over yesterday, and that too against a weak team like Sri Lanka. India's idea of playing inexperienced bowlers isn't working that well. And all this happened at home, and not at overseas tracks.  

[Tipeform$]

India lost to Sri Lanka by just 16 runs.  Sri Lanka has performed very well in terms of batting and has also done well in terms of bowling.  And the reason India lost was because of the high number of wickets falling.  Shubman, Ishan, Tripathi these three batsmen could not stand at the crease.  Due to the fall of their wickets, India was under a lot of pressure early in the game after losing wickets.

The series has been leveled at 1-1 by Sri Lanka. In their second T20I match, the Asian champions are back with a bang. It was embarrassing to watch Indian bowlers give away so many runs rather than take wickets yesterday. As a result of poor bowling and poor top batting order, India lost the match. In the end, Sri Lanka won by 16 runs thanks to an absolute masterclass performance. Despite the competitive nature of the first T20I from SL, India took the victory by a lucky shot at the end. As a result, it would not be accurate to say that Sri Lanka is a weak team solely based on its strength.

The ease at which the lower order Sri Lankan bowlers scored their runs surprised everyone. But then the main reason was indiscipline from the Indian bowlers. They bowled a shocking number of no-balls, including occasions were the batsmen otherwise would have got out. Arshdeep bowled 5 noballs in his 12 ball spell. And he bowled 3 of them consecutively. In total, the Indian bowlers conceded 7 no-balls and it was the primary reason why they were defeated yesterday. If you remove the runs scored from free-hits, you can see that India would have comfortably won the match.

Didn't watch the match, but I am not really surprised by these issues related to Arshdeep. I never liked his bowling even though many support him primarily because he buckles under pressure way too often.

Malik is the new Thakur these days since he takes wickets consistently despite maintaining a poor economy rate.

India managed well to reach 206 runs, but they couldn't. The openers and the middle order completely down. There performance is a must to win in these kind of matches.

If India's openers could have played their normal game in last match, there was a chance of winning the match even if the middle order players did not play. When the openers and middle order are completely destroyed, it becomes difficult to win big scoring matches. The way India almost turned the match with some lower order batsman but finally they lost the match due to lack of good wickets. I have say certainly that Sri Lanka has turned around in recent times. They lost the first match by 2 runs but they scored over 180. They also scored 206 runs in the last match. This kind of performance against India is certainly not common. I also consider, Sri Lanka is back again.

[Sithara007]

Shardul is an allrounder and he has rescued his team with his batting a number of times under pressure. What I don't like about Umran is the fact that he tries too many things and tries to intimidate the batsmen. This tactic may work against weaker teams. But when he bowls against England, Pakistan or Australia, where the batsmen are more used to express pace, he may get the stick. I have a feeling that his pace maybe more useful in test matches, especially under helpful conditions. T20 may not suit him that well.

India lost to Sri Lanka by just 16 runs.  Sri Lanka has performed very well in terms of batting and has also done well in terms of bowling.  And the reason India lost was because of the high number of wickets falling.  Shubman, Ishan, Tripathi these three batsmen could not stand at the crease.  Due to the fall of their wickets, India was under a lot of pressure early in the game after losing wickets.

Lost the match, but it was a big fighting match from India. Sri Lanka might've thought it to be a easy winning match, as the wickets kept falling from the beginning. Once India was at 64 losing 5 wickets in 10 overs. By the end of 20 overs India reached 190 runs losing 8 wickets. The contribution from Axar, Surya, Mavi is really good.

India lost 5 wickets for 57 runs but still were able to make 190 runs. There was no contribution from top order only lower order batsmen were able to score runs like Suryakumar Yadav, Axer and Mavi. So series is leveled now and we will have an exciting 3rd T20I.

He is still very new to international cricket. With experience he would know what to bowl and what kind of attitude is required. This why I want him to play more. He is an asset for India as he is the only fast bowler India has for now. Bhumrah may not continue for after a couple of years and India needs a main bowler which he can become with experience.

Big Bash League 31st Match started Sydney Sixers won the toss and decided to bowl. Melbourne Stars scored 67 runs in 8.3 overs. And now Melbourne Stars have lost 1 wicket. Sydney Sixers team player zharulhaq Naveed he now bowls 17 in 2 overs.  Gave runs. And got 1 wicket. If Sydney Sixers team can bowl well then maybe 150 runs in this match. And if 150 runs in this match then we can enjoy a very nice game between two teams.
