T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[n0ne]

Not many comments here despite final. Anyway, cup seems to be in pretty much KKR's hands, there is no way KKR can choke this 120-130 score SRH is going to give.

Boss, One thing that is very important is that in all the finals I have seen, the play has been so bad that the joy of the day's final has been dampened. The record of the most runs in this year's IPL was that of Sunrisers Hyderabad, but today, especially the final game, Sunrisers Hyderabad was so bad that I have no comment about today's final. However, Kolkata Knight Riders deserved to be the champions of this year's IPL and they got the reward they deserved. Best wishes to Kolkata Knight Riders for becoming champions of this year's IPL.

It wasn't like a final match, and no one expected such a low performance. Soon after winning the toss, I predicted that SRH would perform really well and we could watch a nice match of 200+ runs. Everything collapsed, SRH was really bad, and when the wicket started to fall, someone should've stood up and contributed. They were focusing on the big score, and the wicket continued to fall. It is the lowest score in an IPL final match, and it is the lowest score in this IPL season. KKR reached the target in a much more comfortable manner, and the 2024 season has come to an end. Now everyone starts to think of the T20 World Cup, scheduled to start within a week.

I am also unhappy with Sunrisers Hyderabad SRH performance in IPL final match against Kolkata Knight Riders KKR. I was thinking it would be high scoring match but SRH did very poorly and got lowest score in IPL final match. And you are right SRH batting strategy was wrong. They tried to score too many runs too quickly instead of playing safely and this led to big collapse. In the end KKR won easily and soon everyone will be focused on T20 World Cup which will be a new and exciting event.

Not only you but the entire Indian audience and cricket fans are unhappy with such a poor performance by Sunrisers Hyderabad.A final match performance should not be so bad, a final match performance should be exciting.Sunrisers Hyderabad's batting performance was the biggest surprise in the final match as their batsmen had a sloppy performance due to which they could not score many runs.They might have been looking to bat aggressively from the start which got them out early but if they had played patiently then the match would have been competitive and exciting.Kolkata Knight Riders have shown the same power from the beginning of this tournament, they also showed power in the final match and even won the title.

The entire team of Pakistan is in a very bad state right now.   There are a lot of talented bowlers in the Pakistan squad.   But the bowlers are not able to bowl as well as expected. And this is also why the party is lagging behind. But I would say Pakistan's biggest weakness is the erratic performance of their batsmen.

There is not a single batsman in Pakistan's squad at the moment who is capable of consistently performing well. The batting of talented batsmen like Babar and Rizwan is also quite erratic. If the batsmen continue to perform so erratically, it would be foolish to expect anything better from this team in the next World Cup.   Personally I think the situation of Bangladesh and Pakistan is almost the same at the moment.   The performances of both these teams have been very poor and erratic.

Absolutely agree with you, I am trying to find if we have some good players in the team. Yes we do have good players but none of them are in good form and that matter the most when you want to win series and tornaments.

Suggestions:- Shadab Khan has done only good fielding otherwise he affords too much score in just 5 overs, in yesterday's match his performance was not good so I think Babar Azam has to give him multiple chances to play because he is such a good player and when he play too many matches then see his mistakes and change them. Because this is like a practice series before the World Cup that will start in the next few days, it will be the real test that will be starting and have to be prepare for this. In the four overs he bowled, he gave over 50 runs and when he cames to bat then he was out too early.

West Indies  vs   South Africa

I am disappointed with the performance of South African players against West Indies.   I thought I would see a better performance from South Africa in the upcoming T20 World Cup.   But after seeing the performance of South African players against West Indies, I don't think South African team is qualified to play in the semi-final in the next World Cup.

Yeh it's true that some South Africa main players were not available due to IPL but still they have several number of thier starting XI player but they unable to divert results in thier favour and thus quite worrying things for th because soon they will travel west indies home ground to face them and some others teams on West Indies home ground in T20 World cup which will be quite difficult to manage and that second consecutive defeat for them against West Indies they way USA does with Bangladesh here the common things is that both USA and west indies are world cup host and both have home ground series where they clearly shown how they will properly utilize thier home ground edge. So the things is both team took thier opponent light and the face thier mistakes consequences. Anyway many many congratulations to west indies and USA for phenomenal results against strong side hope we will see several number of competitive fights in T20 World cup

Yes South Africa's performance before T20 World Cup is really disappointing. In yesterday's last T20 match too, South Africa managed to score only 163 runs for seven wickets. Johnson Charles played a brilliant innings of 69 off 26 balls in the second innings. West Indies won by 8 wickets with one ball in hand in six overs. South Africa lost all three matches in the series. Although Markram, Heinrich Klaasen were not two important players in this series, if they had, things might have been different. Since the T20 World Cup will be held in the West Indies this time, West Indies will have an added home advantage in the World Cup if they can maintain the performance they have shown in the three-match series.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the final match without much efforts. They only had to chase a 113 runs and when you know that target is so small, there is no pressure on the batsmen whatsoever. Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 39 runs and then Venkatesh Iyer made a quick 50+ not out and took the team to the winning target in just over 10 overs. Mitchell Starc took 2 wickets and was the player of the match.

There is nothing to talk about Sunrisers Hyderabad batting or bowling. Their batting was so bad that it did not give any chance to their bowlers too. It was a complete disaster for them and they will regret it as they manage to reach the finals but could not play up to the mark.

The final match is a big shock for all Sunrisers Hyderabad supporters. We often say that the ends well that means all is well. Most of the spectators expected a big score in the last match but it was unimaginable for the score to be so low especially for those who bet on the total score. This may be the lowest score in this IPL. But on behalf of Kolkata, that moment felt really different. Without any pressure, they knew from the first innings that they are going to win the trophy in this tournament. Sunrisers Hyderabad's plan failed completely in this match. They won the toss and decided to bat first and when the top order lost three wickets they failed where others needed to play defensively.

In 3rd and final T20 game south Africa posted the target of 164 runs. west indies easily chase down the target 165/2 in 14th overs. An excellent innings played by Johnson Charles of 69 runs on just 26 balls which help his team to won this match single handedly. its great victory for west indies team to white wash south Africa on his home. The last series played by both team before the T20 World Cup. I think it will have little impact on the South Africa World Cup campaign

Sunrisers Hyderabad's loss to KKR in the IPL 2024 final was unexpected, because we all expected a big score. Feeling sad for SRH fans, and Kavya Maran who broke down in tears after SRH's loss. This team really deserved something better. They gave hope to the fans from the start of the season but couldn't deliver in the final. Still, they played really well throughout the season. From last place last season to runners-up this season, SRH has done well. But no regrets, as the most deserving and superior team won the title. KKR were unstoppable from the start of the season and maintained their dominance throughout. Congratulations to KKR for winning the TATA IPL 2024.

I don't understand why this is happening with South Africa. This team has a lot of experienced players. However, the team played very badly in all three matches of the series against the West Indies.   South Africa set a target of just 164 runs on a flat pitch. It was not a good enough collection to win on this pitch.   As the opponent is a strong team like West Indies.   It was absolutely necessary to collect more than 200 to win.



West Indies do not have any problem to win this match. The West Indies team collected 165 runs in just 13.5 overs. Johnson Charles' brilliant innings eased West Indies' path to victory. Johnson Charles collected 69 runs in just 26 balls.   Also Brandon King scored 44 runs and Kyle Mayers scored 36 runs.

In the match between West Indies and South Africa, WI won by 8 wickets. Batting first, SA gave a target of 164 runs. West Indies responded exceptionally and chased down the target at the expense of 2 wickets in the 14th over. They have clean-swept the series. South Africa's performance was not up to their standard. West Indies is looking dangerous right before the T20 World Cup and as they are cohost of the tournament, I think they will give tough time to the best teams in the contest.

Kolkata Knight Riders played the final match brilliantly. After playing more than 18 overs, Hyderabad managed to score only 113 runs, there in just 10 overs, they crossed the target and won the match. Indian player Venkatesh Iyer and Afghanistan player Rahmanullah Gurbaz both finished the game. Kolkata Knight Riders played very well, we never imagined that they will play so well. Anyway congratulations to Kolkata Knight Riders for winning the IPL

There was an interesting match held yesterday between West Indies and South Africa. And WI just won that match by 8 wickets.South Africa started bat first and they score 163 runs in 20 overs. But top 4 players failed for collecting good runs. De cock out at 19 runs, rest of players did lower runs than de cock. But van der Dussen finally done half century and made his team go ahead. Besides WI team was rock from beginning. They bat very well. Top players were able to collect more runs within few overs. Base on Johnson Charles 69 runs, and great contributions from Brandon King, make the WI team won

The target of 114 runs given by Sunrisers Hyderabad was not at all an important tough target for the final especially as it was scored by a typical team. Apart from yesterday's final, Sunrisers Hyderabad performed exceptionally well in the remaining matches and scored above 200 runs in most of the matches. But being bowled out for just 113 runs in yesterday's match left Sunrisers Hyderabad in dire straits and were badly beaten in a final-like moment.

West Indies  vs   South Africa

I am disappointed with the performance of South African players against West Indies.   I thought I would see a better performance from South Africa in the upcoming T20 World Cup.   But after seeing the performance of South African players against West Indies, I don't think South African team is qualified to play in the semi-final in the next World Cup.

South Africa lost both the series against West Indies.   The South African team lost the first match by 28 runs and the second match by 16 runs. South Africa lost yesterday's match despite an excellent start by the South African top order.   South Africa collected 81 runs in 5 overs from the opening pair. Even then the team failed to win the match.

South Africa can qualify if they are interested in the match and work hard.  Their batsmen had toiled and struggle.  But the run was not stopped by these bowlers.  Due to which the West Indies batsmen scored 165 runs in 14 overs and won the match.  South Africa target could have been difficult.  If their bowlers supported but their bowlers did not take the match with interest and they will lose the match.This is the reason that his team did not work hard and struggle in the match.  If they work hard they could have won the victory that West Indies have won against South Africa.  If their batsmen kept their pace they would not have lost by so many runs.  The target could have been over 200 had the South African batsmen not been out.  But their luck didn't work either.

I am disappointed with the performance of South African players against West Indies.   I thought I would see a better performance from South Africa in the upcoming T20 World Cup

South Africa is always one of the Strong opponent team And that's why It also makes me wonder how West Indies developed themselves and defeated South Africa, not only one time but also continuously 3 times. And they just archive Another Victory. Both team really surprised us by their performance. RSA collected 163-7 runs in total. Thry played avarage although they should scored more runs against WI. Besides WI team had done well in batting and bowling both. I specially like the batting performance of Brandon King and fhe bowling performance of Gudakesh Motie. Both of them did great contribution for wi in each match. And due to Johnson Charles, Wi just Scored 165-2  runs within 14 overs and won the match. That's was legendary performance by WI team

West Indies played amazing with 165 runs looking at their performance it seems like they are truly in good form best of luck to west Indies for their upcoming matches. Congratulations to west Indies.

Shocking performance from South Africa. however the Proteas are playing without key middle-order batters Markram, Klaseen, and Miller, who will join them for the T20 World Cup. Then hopefully things turn into their favor, but given their past World Cup performances, it might be good to go in with low expectations.
while a 3-0 series victory for West Indies ahead of the T20 World Cup. Congratulations on the series win, guys. West Indies are hot contenders for the T20 World Cup. These lads know just when to show up. West Indies have been fantastic over the last year, and this in-form team is exactly what cricket deserves heading into a World Cup.

Congratulations to west Indies.

An unimpressive performance by South African batsmen specially the top order. Middle order did their job but weren't able to increase the run rates.
With the victory on 3rd T20, West Indies clean swiped the series against South Africa. South Africa even though are number 4 in T20 rankings, seems not to be at its finest form while West Indies have improved their batting. This series and result would boost up the morale of West Indies for the upcoming T20 world cup that's being hosted in US and West Indies itself. West Indies are in a relatively easier group while South Africa has more competitive opponents.
