T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JohnBitCo]

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?

Sadly there is no exact alternative to directbet. That was the quickest and best platform for the cricketing bets. I still miss that platform. There are many others sites where you can bet but if you are looking for something similar to directbet, i am afraid there is none.

I never imagined that the performance of Pakistan players is so bad. Pakistan collected 134 runs in 18 overs losing only 2 wickets. At the end of 20 overs, they lost 8 wickets and collected only 157 runs. They could not collect 24 runs in the last 24 balls. Even if it was a team like Bangladesh or Afghanistan, they would collect less than 30 runs in the last 4 overs.

You tried to say 16 overs, right? However, I thought Pakistan would score above 180 runs but unexpectedly their batting lineup collapsed. And they scored only few runs in death overs. But Pakistani bowlers has done their work perfectly. West Indies batsman couldn't score in the way as it was required. Though West Indies batsman tried their best and made pretty good run in last few overs, but they were unable to get the victory.

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.

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.

Second T20 match between Pakistan and west Indies , Pakistan won by 7 runs . Firstly Pakistan batting with 157 Lossing 8 wickets. Only Babar Azam Made 50 runs . But west indies played well , unfortunately they lost for 7 runs. Only Nicolas pooran played unbelievable match with 62 runs within 33 balls but all players played worse, they spent balls more than runs.

Only 23 collected Lossing 6 wickets , only Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan collected more (51+46) runs but others 6 cricketers collected the rest runs . If Rizwan and Azam could played worse, then I am sure Pakistan could lost the match.

Pakistan once again surprised me big time against West Indies, i thought West Indies would easily chase the target of 157 runs but Pakistan had other plans and what a spell of bowling by Mohammad Hafeez just giving away 6 runs in his 4 overs in a T20  , that is some impressive bowling and a huge factor for the win as that spell put pressure on West Indies to score off other bowlers.

Mohammad Hafeez is 40 years old and he still impresses me with his performance and i respect that because he is an all rounder who can change the match with the bat and if the pitch is helping the spinners good luck scoring against him and the experience he got is huge, but in this match West Indies missed timing the match correctly.

I missed the wonderful performance by India on the other hand, 81 for 8 in 20 overs  and Sri Lanka winning the series, for all the comments for sending a second string team, Sri Lanka showed how they can tackle in T20 I.

His figures were 4-1-6-1 yesterday. I don't know why the West Indies batsmen found his deliveries so unplayable, when they scored around 10 runs per over from all the other bowlers. Even Shaheen Shah Afridi went for 44 from his 4 overs. And let's not forget that this was a full-strength West Indies side, comprising of the best T20 players in the world, such as Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Evin Lewis and Nicholas Pooran. And it is perplexing to see a team losing, with 6 wickets in hand.

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.

They were saying that they would reach England on 31st June or 1st Aug but so far no update from the BCCI or players, may be they are still in isolation (thanks to krunal  )

After 1st T-20 it was more like domestic team playing in the international game. Approx 6-7 new guys got their blue cap in last 2 games, so technically it was India C team (Dhawan-Bhuvi-Kuldeep-Chahal were senior members) playing the match when India B team was sitting duck at the hotel due to covid.

They should have scored more than 180 runs as Pakistan's top-order batsmen did at the start of the match. But the middle-order batsmen were a complete failure. Apart from Babar Azam and Rizwan, I can't find any experienced players in the Pakistan team who are able to perform consistently. To win the series, the players must be consistent.

West Indies did not bat well as the target was not that difficult to achieve. Nicholas Pooran played well and at one moment i thought he will win the match for West Indies but they lost by only 7 runs. Hafeez gave only 6 runs in 4 overs and that saved pakistan.

Pakistan team is full of surprises.  You never know how they will perform in the next matches.

By the way,  was this a world record of 6 runs in 4 overs in a T20 match or is there still a more better spell of bowling ever in T20 match ?

Directbet was great only because you do not need to register and you could wage a bet using your wallet and it was forced to closed down because of higher transaction fees and if you remember the odds were not great either and there was not much options in the match to place a bet but i liked the way it was because of privacy reasons. Stake, Sportsbet, Cloudbet they all provide cricket bets and you have a lot of options to wage in a match.

LOL.. both the teams are inconsistent, so it is OK. Pakistan total was not very intimidating, and with the best T20 batsmen in their squad, West Indies should have chased it down with ease. And then suddenly the West Indian batsmen, for some unknown reason found the bowling of Mohammad Hafeez life-threatening. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali ot thrashed all over the park, but Hafeez proved unplayable. And remember that the West Indies squad had players such as Evin Lewis and Chris Gayle. Both of them made a combined total of 51 runs from 53 balls.

What a bowling performance by Pakistan! A very exceptional thing was done by Hafeez with his bowling. Muhammad Hafeez almost bowled two maiden overs in a T20I, but a single was given on the last ball. His spin attack could create pressure on the Caribbeans today, so here's hoping he does his best.

It was exceptional performance from Hafeez, but the other bowlers were very ordinary. Hafeez conceded just 6 runs in 4 overs (including one maiden), and without him Pakistan would have easily lost the match. Their pace bowlers were very wayward. Shaheen Shah Afridi conceded 44 from his 4 overs, and Hasan Ali conceded 32. Mohammad Wasim and Usman Qadir also went for more than 10 runs per over. The only bowler who gave some sort of support for Hafeez was Shadab Khan. And I need to congratulate the Pakistan captain (Babar Azam) as well, for his decision to open bowling with Hafeez.

Yeah, I agree with you. If Rizwan and Babar had not played well, Pakistan would have lost. The Pakistan team is now completely dependent on these two batsmen. Other batsmen do score occasionally. However, Pakistan's bowlers bowled very well in yesterday's match. If the bowlers did not bowl well, Pakistan would never win. Because the batting lineup of West Indies is very strong.

[bryant.coleman]

No one is watching the Hundred? The ECB launched this tournament with so much fanfare and hype, but I am not seeing much interest from India. They need to generate hype in India as well, because without the revenues from this market the tournament will struggle to sustain itself. Now with the T20I series with Sri Lanka finally over, I hope that more Indian viewers will tune in to watch the Hundred. So far the matches have been of very high quality. But they lack the star power, as West Indian players are busy playing the series against Pakistan and Australian players refusing to take part due to COVID concerns.

Pakistan will bloom once in a while and it is hard to place a bet whenever they are playing and Babar Azam is their stand out player but you cannot expect him to play well in all the matches. In the last match it was the bowlers that changed the match especially Mohammad Hafeez.
The toss is delayed due to rain, hopefully we will see they play the entire match even if there is a delay.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan did not play well but Pakistan won, I have rarely seen such a match lately. These two are now key players in Pakistan. Moreover, Pakistan bowlers are no longer regulars. The bowlers bowled well in yesterday's match, but we did not get good performance from them in all the matches

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat. They scored 15 runs in 1.2 overs. The game is now delayed again due to rain.
