T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

~snip~

Hey it’s only a matter of few days before IPL matches begin, I call it a gamblers paradise as gamblers all over the world can make huge amount of money with little efforts. I feel you’re comparing two different tournaments yesterday’s match was an ODI, while IPL is a T20 and MS Dhoni is not the finisher he once used to be. I feel it’s too early to say who’ll win as we will have to see recent injuries, which players will be there for full tournament and which will withdraw mid tournament.

I already kept some spare btc to gamble in IPL hehe.

I do agree that this is the most entertaining cricket event of the year for cricket fans. The T20 became popular because of this IPL. By the way guys, I am really waiting for more members in the pool I have created: BitcoinTalk IPL 2019 Prediction Pool | 0.005 BTC Entry Fee

Although it's not official but I think it's true that Warner has also joined to the hyderabad team as they said. Indiatoday is one of the most popular news sources by the way.

Hey Smith and Warner were both returning to IPL it was declared back then, the idea was to give these two match practice before the World Cup starts. While this is a different tournament they’ll yet get their rhythm back, and will have a chance to fight their way back in the starting 11 for Australia. It’s pertinent to note that these two won’t play the entire tournament, as I expect them to leave it midway due to preparations for the World Cup.

IPL craze, let me remind you guys its just a practice session and see the crowd. warning it can look and sound like regular ODI or 20-20match

Only four days to go and we are going to see CSK vs RCB match. I will go with CSK. I am thinking to play with some money. Not sure yet however if I do then I will go with a double.

CSK vs RCB: CSK
KKR vs SRH: SRH

Inputs?

[JSRAW]

CSK = Win
SRH = Win

RCB will lose because of Virat Kohli's captaincy and this year they have a weak team as compared to last season, that's what I heard.

KKR will lose because their bowling attack is not that good in comparison of SRH which has the best bowling attack in comparison to all franchise put together. plus Warner is back too

I noticed that about Kohli captaincy also a lot of people talks about it. I did not know that the team is weak comparing with other seasons. I have hesitation in the 2nd game but I will keep SRH ahead because of KS Williamson's captaincy.

Thanks for some insight. You are always a helpful champ around :-) 

[JSRAW]

@Royse thanks bhai 

King Kohli leading RCB since 2014 I suppose and call it bad luck or anything else. but under his captaincy RCB performing poorly despite his team used to filled with superstars in past.

Yup, Williamson is a very mature captain with a cool mind, he's street smart as well. Unfortunately for KKR, their 2 young talented fast bowler missing this season due to injury. shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti, they were the 2 Indian fast bowlers who stole the whole show in recent under-19 world cup along with Shubham Gill.

Sri Lanka vs South Africa first T20 is starting today. Just checked the odd and it's shit LOL
Only 1.30 for SA.

If I see an increase of the odd (somewhere around 1.70) then I will risk some money for SA. They should get an easy win I think.

Thoughts?

[JSRAW]

Yes, the way both teams playing the cricket. South Africa should win this game. Proteas got some power hitter in the middle order, and bowling attack is lethal as well in the comparison of Srilankan team.

But at the international level gap between teams gets shorter automatically when playing 20-20 game.

[AB de Royse777]

Sri Lanka lost 5 wickets to score 89 runs after 14 over. They lost their first wicket without scoring any runs LOL

South Africa is going to have a very easy win if there were no drama.

Poor Srilanka. Srilanka need to organize their team. Whatever they have, they can play better. Their top order should be changed. They are perfoeming poorly. I see some new faces there or I missed in them in the last series?

Srilankan inning finished finally, they were struggling throughout the inning and they managed to put only 134 runs on the scoreboard.

Proteas is happy with their bowling effort. they need only one good partnership and they can reach the finish line easily.

Don't know if you guys noticed or not but interestingly Kamindu Mendis looked like a Dhawan when he was facing Imran Tahir 

[AB de Royse777]

What a T20 to enjoy!

No one thought that Sri Lanka will go this far. They restricted South Africa to go for a super over. South African middle order collapsed again like the test match.

Sri Lankan bowlers are really bowling well in pressure. It's their batsman who are failing them.


I am glad I was a part of the history.
 

[JSRAW]

I missed that super over, went to bed when south africa was about reached 70. after looking at the scorecard, it seems that chokers really want to lose that match but Srilanka in the super over messed it up.

It was a good comeback from SL though and agreed SL batting line up keeps ruining the party again and again.

No one really thought that the match will be this close. I had some money risked for SA. I considered it win so in the middle I did not follow the match until the final few overs. It was stressful to watch again it was a joy to see Sri Lankan bowling.

Sri Lanka is doing very well now a days in the death over bowling.

Their batsmen need to do something soon if they wanna come back in this 20-20 series. they are not backing their bowling unit in this tour. a team can't expect their bowlers to perform in every match, time for some batsmen to stand up with bowlers now.

Even in the super over the batsmen failed them. They did not even goal for the run to chase I think. 5 runs in a super over sounds really disappointing even where the last ball needed 11 runs.
