T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[MinMan]

However, if you see the current odds of the match, they are still pretty even which shows that bookies still believe that India will come back in the match.

India only managed to score 152 runs and the odds are favoring West Indies to win and if they can bat sensible, they could really win the match and probably win the series as India is experimenting with the lineup.

After end of Indian batting I was feeling this is going to be easy task for the West Indies but Hardick Pandya leading from the front and give his team an ideal start which they were looking for now right after three overs West Indies are having troubling start with losing two early wickets but third over give them good chance of fightback with Pooran and Mayer's on crease for them and Powell and Hetmyer are next to bat look like we are going to have another thrilling end of this match.
 
If India having 160+ then surely I have India to win this match but right now it's anybody game because target is not good enough, but these two wickets can give them good chance for fightback in this match.

Update last nine balls give good relief to West Indies and they have 28 runs.

West Indies vs India
 Team's 2nd T20 match started today. India won the toss and came to bat. Scored 79 runs in 12 overs. Now India is under a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets. India lost the 1st T20 match by just 4 runs. How good is India in today's match?  It will not be understood till the end of the game. It seems that India will be able to give the target of 150 runs today. West Indies has started to perform well in bowling. If the two teams play in this way, we will see a hard fight between the two teams.

In the first T20 match West Indies won by 4 runs and in today's second T20 match too India batted first but India could not give West Indies a target of too many runs. however, West Indies lost two wickets for 26 runs.  So West Indies' performance is also not looking good today so it is doubtful if they will be able to meet the target. But I don't understand why India can't play well against West Indies.  West Indies seem to be preparing themselves very well in all aspects to deal with others

India set a target of just 153 runs. The target is not too big. Even then, there is no way to say that West Indies will win. Because the performance of West Indies batsmen is very erratic. There is no batsman in the squad who can bat responsibly and is consistently batting well.

West Indies lost two wickets for 2 runs after going down to bat with a target of 153 runs only. And they lost the third wicket by 32 runs. But their run rate is very good. At the end of 6 overs, the team collected 61 runs after losing 3 wickets. Nichols Pooran is batting brilliantly.  If he stays at the crease, the West Indies team will surely win. Pooran is unbeaten with 42 runs off just 22 balls. I think West Indies will win today's match as well. And they will take a 2-0 lead in the series.

The good news in India's batting today is Tilak Varma. He managed to score his first T20 fifty even when things were tough. Sadly, he departs quickly after making 51 runs. While the other batters struggled making runs, Tilak Varma only batter stood out.

Yeh just like previous match only Verma manage to scored some decent runs, opening pair collapse again by just 16 which is really disappointed because such kind of performance will impact entire team moral and soon they will be appear in Asia Cup where they will face one of toughest bowling team ever like Afghanistan and Pakistan which will be a huge challenge for them and if they can't manage again a weak team west indies they how they will manage against them, but hope returning of Kohli and Rohit will give confident to play naturally without any hesitation and trouble.

There is no way to say that 152 runs is a bad collection on this pitch. The pitch was not batting friendly. Still thought the Indian batsmen would play with some responsibility. As they could not show very good performance in the previous matches. But the Indian batsmen's performance was not good in today's match as well. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav's performances were poor. Ishan Kishan was able to collect 27 runs. Also like last match Tilak Varma's performance today was excellent. Tilak was able to score 51 runs. Pandya's 18-ball 24-run innings was essential. The target is not high though. Even then, on such a pitch, a target of 153 runs is possible to win. Bowlers have to bowl controlled from the beginning of the innings.

India's innings stopped at 152 runs, West Indies are currently batting against India with a target of 153 runs, where West Indies' collection is 42 runs for 3 wickets, the fifth over is still ongoing. West Indies wickets have fallen more than the overs despite the run rate being good. The target is not that low, 153 runs are required to win, in T20 cricket, the target of 153 runs against a team like India is quite big, so West Indies have to be patient and keep wickets and bat only then they can do well in this match. 

India will have to get Nicholas Pooran out very quickly if he wants to come back in this match because this wicket-keeper batsman has already scored 38 runs in 20 balls.

LOL.. right now it is a cakewalk for the West Indians. This is the same team that got humiliated during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier a few weeks ago, when they lost out to Scotland and Netherlands. The same team is thrashing India now. Indian bowlers (apart from Hardik Pandya) are looking completely clueless. Both the spinners (Ravi Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal) have gone for almost 10 runs per over. For me, it is very clear that India can't win if players such as Virat, Ashwin, Rohit and Jadeja are not in the squad.

West Indies are doing great against India. Looking at the state of play so far, it is clear that West Indies will be able to secure victory. But if India's bowlers can pick up some early wickets by bowling brilliantly then the outcome of the game could be different.

After first over of the Hardick Pandya I was thinking it is going to be an easy win for India but now suddenly Pooran change things with his style and current run rate is 9 with required rate is touching 5 figures mean India is almost down in this series by 2 - 0 and management needs to think just going with all youths is not good idea they have to put some seniors as well which will give them better space for the match.
 
Basically this West Indian team faced humiliation in qualifiers, but now we are facing the same thing from their hands with their bats as well. Even it's too late but Mukesh Kumar takes his first wicket and Pooran gone, but he has already done his work and now West Indies need only 27 runs on 36 balls with Hetmyer is on crease for the home side.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. West Indies may keep their reputation intact. A few moments back, they were 126/4. Now they are 128/7. Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd got out in quick succession. The last one fell victim to an useless runout. They still need 25 runs to win, with 27 balls remaining. But the catch here is that they have just 3 wickets in hand. Yuzvendra Chahal was looking quite ordinary a few overs ago, but now he is looking unplayable. And the good thing for India is that they still have overs from both Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar.

What are doing here West indies. Essy win match now convert into tight one. one over before the match was full in the west indies hand. Now west indies is in reak trouble and lot of pressure on new batsmens. Chahal made it for india and india will be now so happy at this moment. New comers batsmen cannot have experience to face indian pace bowlers and i believe india will win this match.

when i was writing Another wicket gone and this time set player Shimron. Chahal get 3 wicket in crucial time and now 22 runs required in 21 balls.

We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. Both teams played well. But in the end, the Indian team was defeated.
The target of 153 runs was not easy to win. However, the Indian bowlers were able to take three West Indies wickets very quickly. Due to the responsible batting of the West Indies' middle order, India lost. Nicholas Pooran scored 67 runs, Powell 21, and Hetmyre 22. Still, West Indies' victory was unfair. They lost the eighth wicket for 129 runs. Akeal Hossain and Alzarri Joseph played superbly. And West Indies won because of the wonderful partnership of this pair. Among the Indian bowlers, Pandya and Chahal's bowling was somewhat controlled. Besides, no other bowler can bowl well.

India lost the first two matches of the 5-match T20 series. Shame on them I'd say. The performance of the West Indies team is now erratic. Still, this team is good enough in the T20 format. India management should have formed a more experienced team. India was defeated by their own fault. I will be happy if India loses the series.

Nicholas Pooran batter well in both t20 matches. In the first match he score 41 and now 67 and this kind of consistency is required in every team to win match especially in this match when every batsmen failed to mark big score on the board. Virat Kohli was consistent batsmen in India team and without him India team is not looking best. Suryakumar performance was very poor in both matches and he should focus on his performance. Credit goes to akeal and Joseph to give second win to his team. To be honest, I wasn't hoping from west indies after losing 8 wickets but both batsmen made it easy.

India lost the first two matches of the 5-match T20 series. Shame on them I'd say. The performance of the West Indies team is now erratic. Still, this team is good enough in the T20 format. India management should have formed a more experienced team. India was defeated by their own fault. I will be happy if India loses the series.

Yes West indies One day and test performance was worst then Zimbabwe but in t20 field they are still very dangerous as they beat best indian team in both games. Now india will he enter with new strategy like England did in ashes to win this series.

[n0ne]

West Indies is really good in T20 format cricket, the first match result of five match series proved it. Now the second match result have proven that West Indies team is king of T20. In the first match West Indies scored 149 runs and defended India and won by 4 runs. This time West Indies have chased the target of 152 runs with 7 balls remaining. Nicholas Pooran played an awesome innings scoring 67 runs from 40 balls which were the important scores for winning.

Yeh it's really shocking to see how west indies is dominating India through bowling in first T20 and now through batting they done phenomenal, the important role play by pooran during target Chase from west indies side in his victory, at start i taught that India done a good job and now they will easy defend such a good target but unfortunately due to lack of experience player they unable to hold opponent strong batting Lineup, at one stage indian almost get them by taking few quick important wickets but later thier bowler A.Hosain and Joseph chasedown the required target one over and one ball before, now things are going tough for India because one more victory will make west indies winner of this T20 series.

I think this series has given India selectors a big reality check that their bench strength is literally zero. Making a team full of 11 big stats who played best in IPL is never going to work. If you see it in a way its just the big 3 players that are missing, out of which I consider Rohit pretty much out of form from long. is Indian team again going towards the path where only 1 person makes it win and it's Kohli?

West Indies took another step towards winning the series by winning the second T20 match. West Indies won the second T20 match against India by two wickets. In the first match, India was defeated by the West Indies after coming very close to victory and the second ODI match was no exception as the West Indies won their second match with 7 balls in hand. India should have put some more runs on the score board by batting first. Anything can happen in the match if you don't cook 170 plus against West Indies.

Nicholas Pooran's brilliant innings helped West Indies to the victory. Nicholas Pooran was selected as the man of the match after playing a brilliant innings of 67 runs from 40 balls.

Anyone looking on the T20 squad will say, it is hard to beat this team. It is accepted that the bowling line-up isn't the best, but with the batting line-up unable to score atleast 180 runs is really bad. Looking the scores of the two matches played it is well known that the team isn't good enough to play a team like West Indies. Maybe they're good in playing against teams like Netherlands and Ireland. In the first match they weren't able to score 150 runs and win the match and in the second match just 152 runs scored, shame on the performance.

It is surprising to see such a performance of the Indian team in T20 cricket. They have lost both of their two consecutive matches. They scored only 152 runs after batting 20 overs. Even in the first match, their performance was not as expected. There is no change in the second match either. If India lose the next match in the 5-match T20 series, then their series is over. Hope they don't let that happen. They will definitely try to win there. But there is no faith or trust in T20 cricket. Although the West Indies team does not have a prominent batsman like before, they are trying to do well.

Whats been said at the last is the reality of the team. West Indies team doesn't have a prominent player, but they've done the best and won consecutive matches. It is the over confidence of the India team players, few of them should be kept on the bench only then they'll understand and play. Even in the next match same will be the situation and what we've seen is completely common as the team played in the similar way in the ODI series. Just on the luck, the team was able to win the series and no more the luck travel with India team.

By the way now the West Indies won two matches and it means it has won the series too. What will we do with squad if they will lose the matches continuously. In the both two matches both teams made almost 150 runs which I think not a good target for the other team. But in both cases India wasn't able to chase or stop the opposite team to chase the target. Really bad performance India team.

[Nrcewker]

Tonight things are not looking good for India, I guess this is another 150-ish chase if India gets lucky.

Although the pitch report mentioned that it would be a good scoring wicket but it didn't look like one. Let's save the overall rant for later if Windies completely dominate and India manages to lose this series in the next match.

Yes it was a batting pitch, but Indian team is lacking the batters. I mean completely the team is out of form. Atleast Rohit and Virat were there and they used to do a good start, but now without them, the team just lacks energy and confidence. Really very bad captaincy by Hardik Pandya. Except Ishan and Tilak everyone disappointed us in this series. If this forms continues, then forget about the 50 format world cup. The selectors now need to get serious and take this Wi series more seriously. Let’s see if India makes comeback or WI wins the series.

Of course, West Indies can perform brilliantly in the T20 series, they beat India in the first match and also beat India in the 2nd match. India's series win has become very difficult now as two of the five series have been won by the West Indies. In that case, if India does not win the next three matches in the T20 matches, then they will definitely lose the series badly with the West Indies. The disappointing batting performance of the Indian batsmen in the second T20 match is really unfortunate for India. A strong team like India where they defeated West Indies in ODI matches, India cannot match West Indies in T20I matches. West Indies batting and bowling performance has been outstanding winning two series out of five series.
