T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Bitcoin Smith]

As expected from LSG encounters, this was rather a boring match but in small cameo that Jitesh played, he looked in touch so one more plus point for RCB. As for today's encounter (past 12 here) — MI vs PBKS, the oddmakers still have MI as favorite despite PBKS being stronger with odds of 1.70/2.15 (MI/PBKS) — have made bet on PBKS.

Now it's proven that star value or fan support for a team also plays a role in odd calculation.

But I want MI to win, they do this almost every season like losing in the trot of the beginning of the season, then they make their way up to top 4, for that to happen they need to fix their middle order batting and Bumrah needs to take wickets. I mean he is still the same Bumrah but players are taking cautious approach and gone wicketless so far.

Hitman might miss out the game and Rickleton might come in that is also good thing can happen to them.

I actually didn't think the performance from Scotland's batsmen was exceptional because Scotland is already a stronger team than Namibia. I was expecting Namibia to lose this match because we have already seen them lose badly against Scotland in the ODI format. And in that place, the Namibian team managed to score only 159 runs which is a very easy target in the T20 format and Scotland completed it very easily. And I also think that Scotland will win the next matches as well and there is a possibility of whitewashing the Namibian team in this series.

Scotland is slightly more experienced in the T20 format than Namibia. We got proof of this in the first match. Namibia managed to provide a good enough target. But Scotland players did not face any problem to win the match.

Among the Scottish batsmen, except for Finlay McCreath, the rest of the top order batsmen batted responsibly. George Munsey and Brandon McMullen added 44 runs to the scoreboard. Scotland reached the target of victory by losing only 3 wickets. It is a three-match series. And I am pretty sure Scotland will win the series.

Namibia vs Scotland First T20

I updated about this match yesterday and Scotland easily won 7 wickets in this T20 match of series against Namibia and they got target of 160 runs with 7 balls left. Namibia firstly played their turn. They made 159/7 but their hitting was stopped Scottish bowling effort which made sure that no one player could take off with game. Scotland top and middle players did well to it. They play calmly during chase and scored 160/3 and mad 1-0 series lead. However, Namibia demonstrated great skills, but it was not quite sufficiently to make Scotland undergo significant amount of pressure during second half.

Hope MI vs Punjab turns out to be a thriller since this particular season has been largely boring for me so far except for a few matches here and there. GT vs DC was still the best one for me so far. Am expecting Punjab to win this one thanks to MI struggling badly.

Iyer is their nemesis who screwed them in last year's semifinal and it will be interesting to see if he can screw them again. Punjab have won all of their matches so far barring the rain hit one.

Iyer is their nemesis who screwed them in last year's semifinal and it will be interesting to see if he can screw them again. Punjab have won all of their matches so far barring the rain hit one.

Although this season has been slow, most exciting game until this time was when the Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by one run gap having stopped a score of 210. Punjab goes into this night in 3rd place with unbeaten record and Mumbai is in great need of game with only one win, at spot 9. Shreyas Iyer, the new captain of Punjab, was big problem for Mumbai in past, yet MI has won little more matches between the two. 
Despite Punjab being favorite, Mumbai tend to do better on their own field when desperate and Jasprit Bumrah is only chance they have to make sure that Iyer does not win it again. Although Punjab has not lost any games which have gone to finish, it should be pointed out that they have really got three wins and one rain hit game instead of four wins in a row.

Namibia had also lost to Scotland in odi and today their t20 series started. In 1 st game, Namibia played poorly and Scotland beated them. Namibia team won toss and they elected batting first and gave bowling line to Scotland team. Namibia batsmen made 159 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Gerhard made great progress and made brilliant half century 54 runs in 39 balls and hitted four 4s and one 6s but his runs were useless and Namibia team lost this game by 7 wickets and 7 balls. Mark bowler bowled out 2 wickets in 4 overs and gave 24 runs. Scotland team chased down target in 18.5 overs by losing 3 wickets. George opened this lineup with great batting and he made 44 runs in 31 balls and hitted two 4s and three 6s. Brandon batsmen also batted so great with George and he scored 44 runs in 39 balls and hitted three 4s and one 6s. Congratulations Scotland team won 1 st T20 game.

They had been holding themselves strong with their good efforts before and in this T20 series Namibia had the opportunity to strengthen their target and make their victory easy. If their batsmen had worked a little harder and scored a few more runs, it would have been good for them and for Scotland this target was not strong in my opinion because their batsmen achieved this target in 19 overs and achieved victory. Obviously they are a strong team and their batsmen did not play carelessly due to which they victory the match and their strength and chances of victory the series will be high. The Scottish team has played every match responsibly because they are serious in the match and try their good to victory the match. I hope for a whitewash of Namibia along with a series victory.

This is a problem that is understandable and apart from that playing on the field is also a separate problem. Because the support of the star and the public gives the player the power and enthusiasm to play, but sometimes they are not even impressed with it looks in the RCB game. At this time in the performing of the game, they have played 4 games and were able to ensure their wins in 1. In the RCB game, they were in the mouth of win but some wrong shots by their players took them out of their mouth. Bumrah plays with more enthusiasm with his real players but in the games he play he has not taken a single wicket. I understand what you mean and I think he feels super with his real players. He is not seeing such performing with his friends in the Indian Premier League. If he is nice, he should make it his own ahead of time and use it in the power of the team.

Namibia International cricket team made very low score in this match because their performance was an average in this match and opponent team was  restricted to them on short score. Erasmus performance was very excellent in this match as he made half century in this match and he was a person who gave some resistance to opponent bowlers and they could make a target above from 150 . Richie Berrington played with excellent strike rate and that was the reason his team won the match at the end . G. Munsey role was also Crutial in this match because he made important runs from the start of the match and he made score with a strike rate of 141 in this match. He hit 3 sixes and 2 fours in this match which was achievement by player.

The problem with Namibia is that after the retirement of Gerhard Snyman, they haven't got a batsman who can single-handedly guide them to a victory. Craig Williams had a lot of promise, but he is also retired now. Raymond van Schoor was widely regarded as their best young batsman, but he tragically passed away in the middle of a cricket match back in 2015. Bowling looks OK, with Ruben Trumpelmann and Jack Brassell dealing with the pace department and Bernard Scholtz troubling the opposition batsmen with his left-arm spin (even Scholtz is nearing retirement).
