T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

I also don't understand why the England captain took the fielding decision after winning the toss. Did he do his pitch related homework properly?

Someone mentioned in prematch that historically team bowling first does well here and usually when pitch and square are covered, it does create some chances for the seamers. So far it's not working lol.

Archer is not the same after his injury. I've never imagined that I'd see him bowling full over under 140 kph. Speaking of comms, Hussain along with Pointing on comms are so refreshing and hope Atherton comes as well, if he's there.

I also don't understand why the England captain took the fielding decision after winning the toss. Did he do his pitch related homework properly? As we have seen in most of the previous matches, the teams batting first got some extra advantage. So the England captain should have given a big target by batting first. England were capable of delivering big targets.

However, Australia's batsmen are also in good form. Australia will definitely try their best to give a big target on this pitch. I guess Australia will give a descent target of 180+ today. Since the pitch is batting friendly, the Australian team cannot stay in the safe zone in this match despite giving a big target. After 2 overs, Australia managed to collect 23 runs without losing any wicket. Matthew Short remains unbeaten with 20 runs.

Now it seems that England captain Phil Salt's fielding decision was a completely wrong decision. Batting first on this pitch gives a good advantage. England's bowlers are not able to make any advantage on this pitch.

6 overs of power play have just ended. England's bowlers have completely failed to bowl well in these 6 overs. England managed to take only one wicket. And Australia's two openers collected 86 runs in 6 overs, Australia is collecting more than 14 runs per over. Travis Head scored a half century off just 19 balls today. And Travis Head collected 59 runs off 23 balls. Experienced bowlers like Sam Curran have given away 30 runs in 1 over.

A fellow is confused about why the England team chose to bowl after winning the toss. The answer is that they made the decision to bowl because of the pitch, which is good for batting. If they give the Australian team the first chance to bat, it will give them a numerous boost in restricting the opponent team and provide a great chance to take wickets during the power play.

England and Australia have played many matches in the past, and sometimes Australia wins and sometimes England wins. If we talk about the previous five matches, two were draws, two were won by the England team, and one by the Australian team. Whenever the England team chose to bat first, they set a high score and won that match. Now that they have chosen to bowl first, we don't know what the result will be.

Betting on the match is very risky. But this pitch of Southampton is batting friendly. So today's match is likely to see high scores. Teams whose bowlers can perform in a controlled manner are more likely to win. England team will win the toss I will probably decide to bet on England win. Batting first on this pitch is more likely to score big. Of the 16 matches played on the pitch at The Rose Bowl, 11 have been won by the team batting first.

England has won the toss and they chose to bowl first. I think this decision will hurt the England team because this match hosted by the Southampton and this match is typically batting friendly and Australia have wonderful batsmen as here is Travis Head who is the owner of batting. Also, Josh played well in batting and when team in trouble he is the best option as he did in the second match against Scotland. I am very excited to see Travis Head once again. In his last series against Scotland, he did very well and in the first match made 78 by using boundaries out of 80.

I also don't understand why the England captain took the fielding decision after winning the toss. Did he do his pitch related homework properly? As we have seen in most of the previous matches, the teams batting first got some extra advantage. So the England captain should have given a big target by batting first.

Since the pitch is batting friendly, the Australian team cannot stay in the safe zone in this match despite giving a big target. After 2 overs, Australia managed to collect 23 runs without losing any wicket. Matthew Short remains unbeaten with 20 runs.

An over from Sam Curran wrecked the entire match. England fans should not have any expectations about this match now. Australia  score 86 in the power play, it is not a difficult task to get above 200  in this match. Only 1 wicket has fallen but the rest of the batsmen will want to play more aggressively as there is no more pressure. What decision did Philip Salt make or what was his plan? Was he right in his strategy? etc. It is normal for the audience to have various questions in mind. However, some relief can come here because another wicket has already fallen. An opportunity may arise for England if they manage to keep Australia under 200. But it must be difficult for them to do this now.

Australia vs England

So finally an interesting series is going to start. I am saying interesting because both are big teams and both have abilities to beat each other. So this series will be very interesting. But thing is that this is Australia tour to England means England is playing at home so they have this opportunity but on the other hand Australia is the opponent so both teams are good. So they have 2 series first is T20I series and second is ODI series. First series has 3 matches from which they will play the first match today. And second series has 5 matches. So let's see who will win.

Today's T20 match between England and Australia will be challenging for both the teams. Because these two teams are at the top of their ranks in the game of cricket, and these two teams complement each other in terms of batting line and bowling line. So I think today's match will be a very competitive game, while Australia team can be aggressive at any time. And England team is basically very experienced in terms of playing cricket, so it is very difficult to predict which team will win this match till it starts.

Yes, this match will be very strong, but at the moment, Australia is looking better.  And these teams are also strong and will face a lot of difficulties with each other because both the teams are experienced players.  Currently, the Australian batsmen have scored 87 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 6 overs.  And if they keep playing like this, they can target above 200.  And if the bowlers of England cannot control them, then the first match itself will be a defeat for them.And I'll give Australia more wins because recently their matches against Scotland have been very quick and brilliant.  Let's see the result at the end.
