T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[LittleBitFunny]

Lol i wasn't expecting this kind of shameful performance from our batters. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devdutt Padikkal and Nitish Rana are new guys so i wouldn't blame them much, they deserve more chances and they will learn as they gain more experience but Samson is the biggest disappointment in this series. He's considered T-20 specialist but the way he's performing i don't think selectors are going to pick him up next time, now his fans should sit tight and keep their mouth shut for good.

Finally India has reached 81 runs losing 8 wickets, which is truly the best performance. Not only Samson, each and every player is a disappointment. Atleast some should've taken responsibility and given the best. The weakest batting line-up has made the score and Sri Lanka bowlers need to be appreciated for their brilliant bowling. It is really disappointing, because none would've expected such a performance on a decider match.

The Indian batsmen have batted very poorly, before that I would like to say that the Sri Lankan bowlers have bowled brilliantly. Many days after the Sri Lankan team, we have seen such extraordinary bowling. This is India's second-tier team. But the team has many talented and experienced players. Yet such a bad performance is not expected from them. The batsmen of the team have all lost form together.

Indian bowlers are bowling well. The Sri Lankans managed just 37 runs in 8.4 overs. They lost 2 wickets, Rahul Chahar gave only 3 runs in 2 overs and took 2 wickets. I don't like such a bowling pitch for T20 matches. If the batting is a helpful pitch, the general spectators will enjoy the match.

Many experienced players in Indian team? I don't think so. Only Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar was experienced player in today's match. The pitch condition wasn't batting friendly. Indian cricket team lost some wickets quickly. As a result they couldn't score a good total. If there was more experienced players then India would score more runs and the game would be a competitive one. But Sri Lanka got an easy victory today.

It was a challenge for the Indian cricket team to take control of the game in Corona while protecting the health of the cricketers. But they are like some inexperienced people in terms of team selection , There are many good players in the Indian team but in the second match against Sri Lanka, this match was lost because of their various people.

Hopefully Samson's fans would behave from now on, given his pathetic performance in the series. He doesn't have the temperament or maturity to play in international matches and is best suited for franchise leagues. I wouldn't blame the others, like Gaikwad, Devdutt and Nitish. Gaikwad did well relatively, although he failed to convert his good starts to big scores. DDP did well in his first match, but struggled in the second. Overall, for the Indian fans I don't think that there is any reason to worry. India showed that even their 4th or 5th preference team can compete at international level.

I mean, Indian players are more experienced than Sri Lankan players. Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Bhubaneswar Kumar, Manish Pandya, Hardik Pandya, they are all experienced. They were in the squad but were not in the team for the last T20 match. On the other hand, in yesterday’s match, Sikhar Dhawan, Padikkal and Samson are quite experienced batsmen. They did a great job in the last IPL. After all, the Indian team is more experienced than the Sri Lankan team.

Apart from Dhawan, Kuldeep and Bhuvi, who was experienced in the Indian squad? Devdutt Padikkal was playing his second international match. You claim that Samson is experienced, but he has only 10 T20I matches to his name. Almost everyone else (Varun Chakravarthy, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Nitish Rana, Rahul Chahar, Chetan Sakariya and Sandeep Warrier) has played in less than 10 international matches. I am perplexed at how you can claim that the Indian team for the third match was more experienced than the Sri Lankan team.

Pakistan will play the 2nd T20 today against West Indies. The first T20 was washed out because of the rain but i believe that Pakistan was in a strong position in that match.  West Indies only scored 85 runs which were never going to be enough when the total overs are limited to just nine only.

Yes, WI were down 5 wickets and scored  85 runs in 9 overs when the match got cancelled. It would have been interesting to watch this match if the rain had not disrupted it. Today's match will be interesting to watch, if Pakistan can perform the same way then it would be interesting.

Exactly! Would have been great if we won the T-20 series as well but its okay, in T-20 series there is no positives tho except young bowling department and they tried their best. Good to see Kuldeep bagging some wickets as well. Every batter who went into isolation because of Krunal must be cursing him all day night

Any news what will now happen to Prithvi and Suryakumar's England tour. I remember they both were supposed to leave for England after this series. Now as they are in isolation will they be allowed to leave or they will be replaced. If they are replaced then seriously they will be cursing Krunal.

A great learning experience for the young players. From this experience, they will learn. In T20, you should learn how to defend low scores. Otherwise, We could've had a different result in the T20I series! Krenal has definitely breached the bubble. After Krunal, now two others, something definitely happened. BCCI should conduct a thorough investigation into how Krunal Pandya became infected.

[NicNacCoin]

Coronavirus infected with two other Indian players including Krunal PandyaWhat has happened is that India can knock down any team at any time. But in this case, there have been some exceptions in the selection of Rahul Dravid's team, so a team like Sri Lanka will have to lose the T20 series at the moment.The Indian team has a lot to learn from this, a little change is coming and how to be patient.

T-20 WC schedule is out for real?

Nope. I checked the official site of the ICC and ESPN Cricinfo. The schedule is not out yet. "Unofficial" schedules have been circulating in various websites for some weeks now, but they seems to be fake. I don't know why the ICC is delaying it. At least they could release the schedule for the preliminary phase, where the associate nations are competing. The teams need to plan for their opponents, and it is not possible unless they get the complete schedule. It can create issues for the TV broadcasters as well, as they need to schedule their other programs.

The official information on the schedule isn't released yet. Recently the schedule for the IPL T20 is released. The postponed league is getting continued by 19th September. CSK is playing against Mumbai Indians. Maybe the schedule for getting delayed for the completion of the IPL league.

BCCI can change the schedule of IPL at any time, we have seen a lot of changes in the last few years. But the schedule of bilateral series and franchise leagues in many countries depends on the T20 World Cup. Therefore, considering all the circumstances, the ICC will announce the schedule of the next T20 World Cup.

West Indies is a good T20 team and they performed well against Australia in the recent series. However Pakistan team has the worst performance in their last series against England. This is going to be important matches before the t20 world cup. Pakistan should win these matches in order to regain the form before the WC.

Yes, they can change the schedule for IPL without any issue but is it financially beneficial for BCCI and the franchises. I do not think so they have already changed a venue and again changing will be a problem for them. I am not sure what made BCCI decide in the first instance that they can have IPL in India. Bilateral series can be cancelled but big events cannot.

[UmerIdrees]

We are about to start another T20 tournament KPL 2021 where international players will also join and play , just like PSL and IPL. However, BCCI is stopping and trying to influence that international players should not join this tournament. They need to stop poking others and think why they can't even resume their IPL  

"The PCB considers that the BCCI has brought the game into disrepute by issuing warnings to multiple ICC Members to stop their retired cricketers from featuring in the Kashmir Premier League, further threatening they will not be allowed entry into India for cricket-related work," the PCB said in a statement.

Hi everyone!

Glad to see so many cricket bettors on the forum!

It's interesting to know where do you guys bet on cricket?
AFAIK, some years ago Directbet was the most reputable cryptobook for cricket betting. Sadly they decided to close...
Do somebody managed to find a good alternatives?
