T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[WatChe]

In terms of the series, yes the today's match result doesn't matter much but still I believe that both teams will want to win today's match. The series is between the two giants (Big three) and how the series ends 3-2 or 4-1, it would really matter. India winning today's match will make them more dominant while England winning today will give them a bit of confidence that they at least won two of the five games played.

Then we have three ODI matches between them after this and the result of today's match at Wankhede will have a lot of say on how we can predict the matches in that series.

India has already won the series still England will try there best to win the last game to finish series with 3-2 rather then 4-1. The forth T20I had a controversy on like-for-like replacement when Dube was replaced by Rana in bowling. Both players did best first in batting and then in bowling.     

T20 and ODI are different format and winning T20 series will defiantly boost the morals of Indian team but England still had there chance in ODI if they work hard. The main thing is it's not easy to beat India on there own soil. The pitches in India are more friendly to batters and India has strong batting lineup.

India has already won the series. So the last match is not that important for India. Moreover, England will try their best to win their last match. Losing 4-1 against India in the series is a shame for England's big team.

Today's match will be held at Wankhede Stadium Mumbai. This pitch cannot be called bowling friendly. If the batsmen can bat responsibly, it is possible to easily collect 180+ on this pitch. If the England batsmen bat badly today as in the previous matches, then there is no possibility of England winning. The performance of England's batsmen in this series is very weak and erratic.

India is having one of the best squad in white ball with home or away now not matter for them mostly players are doing impressive job which bring them to new level big pool available and many youngsters in pipeline while things are challenging for them as well because everyone is having better presentation then other.

Fourth match start was not good for them, but their strong middle order bring them into game specially Hardick Pandya is one of the best product in T20i due to his impressive career in IPL Shivam Dube always doing good when he got chance. England's reply was also on target but sadly Indian spinners done good job on crucial time and give them breakthrough they are well-balanced for this format for long time.

Yes if England had won it would have made series much more exciting. But unfortunately India gained upper hand again and I am not as interested in series as I was before just like you. England is definitely able to beat India in T20 format but playing at home gives India big advantage. They know pitch and weather conditions very well which helps them. It is likely that India will keep using this advantage to their benefit and I also would not be surprised if they win again in  fifth match.

It's true that England couldn't win the fourth T20, but I still think this match could have been much more exciting. In today's match, both teams will probably try their hardest to win. Even though India has already won the series, they may not take today's match lightly, Because they will want to win today's match and win this series by a much larger margin. I also agree with you on this point that, England is definitely capable of beating India, But it must be remembered that based on recent performance, that may not be possible for them. India is currently ranked number one in the ICC rankings and if they win today's match, they might reach a much stronger position.

England won the toss and decided to field, but the aggressive way India is batting will easily put them past 200 runs. Sanju Samson opened the scoreboard with a six off the first ball of the innings.

Abhishek Sharma took the score to almost 70 runs with a 17-ball 50, while their run rate is above 16 runs. The way India is batting, there will definitely be 200 runs and there is a 100% chance of England losing.

Today we are looking at a certain win match for India in the 5th t20. India managed to score 80 runs in just 5 overs. If they can play a few more matches in this manner, the score of this match will be completely out of control of chasing. In the power play, they managed to score 95 runs. There is a big possibility of the score of such a match being more than 250. Those who were India's supporters today will be able to win the match without any pressure. Abhishek Sharma's brilliant innings in today's match can create a memorable event for the team as well as he will get good support from the fans for his own career.

[libert19]

Wasn't excited for match particularly, but Abhishek is keeping things interesting; the way he's been playing he's got my ears up for 300 target, it would be nice if they reach it, would be a good humiliation to English tbh.

English pacers bowled similar bowls to Sanju as the ones that got him dismissed in previous matches, was able to hit few sixes but eventually fell prey to same.

[Out of mind]

The Indian team is batting brilliantly today in the fifth T20 match, the opening batsmen have been able to bat exceptionally well. At the moment, India has lost only three wickets and their total is 148 runs in 11 overs, the way India has batted in today's match can be confirmed that they can win. Abhishek Sharma is batting brilliantly today against England, his batting reputation must be praised, he has scored a century in a very short time and is still unbeaten, scoring 101 runs off 39 balls. The batting performance that we can see in India's match today, they will be able to give a target of 250 runs against England, and such a big score in a T20 match is really sky-high.

Abhishek Sharma is taking the game away from England and i am afraid that whatever total India will post now, it will be out of the reach of the England team. They have already made 202 and still four overs left in the innings. I don't think 300 is on the cards but for sure, they will get 250 if Abhishek Sharma stays till the end. He started right from the start and never looked back. Though Indian wickets were falling, he remained focused and got this 100 too. What a day for him !!!

[libert19]

India posts 247 total — could have been better but momentum slowed down a bit in middle overs with wickets falling.

It's plenty, but not out of reach and England should bat with "can get it" mindset. PBKS chased mammoth total of 262 in IPL last year in less than 20 overs, so hopefully we'll see a courageous fightback from Englishmen.

This match is better and interesting in all the matches of this series because in it Indian batsmen scored 247 runs in 20 overs which is very difficult for England batsmen.  No pressure worked on the Indian batsmen which led to such a huge target due to the poor performance of England's bowlers.  If their bowlers were more focused on stopping runs, they would have been better off as they would have achieved a huge target of 247 runs despite taking 9 wickets.  England has lost this series anyway, even if they don't win this match, it's not that much of a problem for them because they are weak against India.  There was a lot of hope from England that they will win this match but they have won only 1 match so far which was played with good performance but after that India has not let them win the match and lost the series.

India made 247 runs, The way they started they could have reached 20-30 more runs too but other than Abhishek Sharma, all the batsmen struggled to play. It was only Abhishek Sharma who made 135 runs and his strike rate was 250. I just don't know why England bowlers were able to out all other players cheaply but could not handle this gentleman  

England have started with the intention to chase this total. 23 runs in two overs suggests that they are going for a kill. Can Phil Salt play a replica innings of Abhishek Sharma, time will tell.

Yes ,you are absolutely right. Abhishek Sharma and Shivam Dube are present on the crease and Indian team will be successful to make target of 260+ runs. In the 13 overs of game ,  the score of Indian team is 178 with fall of 3 wickets. Abhishek Sharma made century in this match and he is not our on the crease and want to make 200 runs in this match for the team which he can do but that is up on the condition of match because of Indian batters gave wickets then score will be 220 to 230 and England International team is very dangerous and they have capability to chase the target .Brydon Carse took 3 wickets in this match and he is the only person who gave less runs in this match.And all other players of England gave more runs in this match and Indian team is dominant in this match so far.

Yes, india batting performance outstanding scored a huge total of 247 runs in a loss of 9 wickets. Abhishek Sharma played an outclassed inning of 135 runs from 54 runs and assisted his team to scored a total of 248 runs for england. England current score is 68 runs in a loss of three wickets. England need 180 runs from 84 balls to win this match but the required run rate is cross 13 runs per over. Phil Salt is playing at 48 runs from just 20 balls his inning will be very crucial if England going to chase such huge total. I think it's very difficult for England to comeback in this match because in power play they lost three important wickets. India are favorite to win this match because target was very big and england already under pressure.

England are facing a humiliating defeat against India. I have never seen a T20 specialist team like England perform so badly in the past. This is probably going to be England's biggest blunder.

India had set a huge target of 248 runs today with the help of Abhishek Sharma's 135 off 54 balls. But England's total was 90 for 8 in 9.1 overs. Opener Phil Salt played a brilliant innings of 55 off 23 balls. No batsman after that could bat well. England will be defeated by at least 130 runs today.

Even if England wins the last match of this series they will not win this series because India has won 3 matches in this series which is enough to win the series. England have won 1 match in this series, if they win this match too it will not help them. If India win, their hard work and strength can only increase and they will win each of their 4 matches as well as the series. The way India is batting, India will win this match as they don't want to give England a chance to win.  The Indian batsmen have scored 247 runs in 20 overs while playing very fast and the England bowlers have got 9 wickets in return which they deserved but they have got a big target if this run is stopped then India is weak could have been. England only defeat in the series is something they will remember in the next match against India.

[Bitcoin_people]

England's batting performance in today's match was very poor, they were all out for 97 runs and lost to India by a huge margin of 150 runs. India had a great batting performance from the beginning today due to which they gave a target of 247 runs to England, England failed to meet this huge target. England's disappointing batting performance today did not allow them to score even 100 runs, it is very bad and sad for them. In the T20 series, England lost 4/1 against India, although England's performance was not that good, but India's performance was much better, so they won.,

[Marvell1]

I don't remember the last time I saw such a poor performance from England. The bowlers bowled very badly. No bowler could do better against Abhishek Sharma. Abhishek scored 135 runs in just 54 balls. Shivam Dube also played an innings of 30 runs in 13 balls. Experienced bowlers like Archer, Overton and Rashid also gave a lot of runs today.



However, I was very surprised by the performance of England's batsmen. England batted very strangely. Phil Salt had a very good start. But no other England batsman could bat well. Phil Salt scored 55 runs and England's total was only 97 runs. Despite having so many experienced batsmen in the squad, no one could do well.

England lost the series 4-1. I had predicted that England would lose the series. But I thought the series would end 3-2.

[JSRAW]

Wtf just happened? Did they really serve pitch in some backyard or it was actually Wankhede's deck? Bummer, I missed all the action and highlights won't do any justice.

Looks like a proper hammering and domination. Abhishek might have scored some bonus points in this match, before this series he was filling in for Jaiswal but now selectors might think about the Jaiswal-Abhishek combo as an opener.

"Justice for Samson" type of meme won't help Sanju much, maybe his seniority will give him a few shots but, it won't be a long rope.

Abhishek Sharma is taking the game away from England and i am afraid that whatever total India will post now, it will be out of the reach of the England team.

He started right from the start and never looked back. Though Indian wickets were falling, he remained focused and got this 100 too. What a day for him !!!

Today's in last game of series, India played first and made a big big 247 runs. IND openers Sanju Samson didn't start well but  Sharma played a fantastic knock of 135 runs and 2nd wicket partnership of 126 runs helped Ind team to posted a big target. India's opener Abhishek Sharma played good innings, which helped their team to post an excellent total of 247 runs. Abhishek Sharma played a brilliant knock of a hundred runs from facing 54, delivering with 7 fours, and it was interesting to see his inning with 13 sixes. India team showed excellent performance in both fields Mohammed Shami took three wickets. England's team failed to chase this big target and lost the game easily.

 Abhishek played an excellent game changing inning and Abhishek Sharma also took two key wickets. Eng batters failed to chase total bowled out just 97 runs and credit goes to Indian bowler's thay put pressure increased on Eng side. India batter Abhishek Sharma excellent innings which help them to winning this game by a big 150 runs margin and win this series quite easily.

[libert19]

"Justice for Samson" type of meme won't help Sanju much, maybe his seniority will give him a few shots but, it won't be a long rope.

Yeah, I was really disappointed with Sanju, he constantly got out playing similar ball and  similar shot throughout the series.


Salt was playing well but weirdly enough he got out to Dube out of all bowlers, it was so funny when that happened.
