T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Little Mouse]

61 for none within 6.5 overs. I think today match will be interested. India will have a big score, so does West Indies. Rohit seems too much confident today. This will amazed USA people much.

[erikalui]

Espn commentators agree with me on Rahul who is much better than Dhawan. BTW, WI brought in Khary Pierre. How is he as a bowler? Also, leaving out Bravo who is the best in T20s is a foolish decision. Gayle is atleast in ODIs but why no Bravo?

Match stats: WI lost their only review lol
From here if two wickets don't fall before the 10th over, 150-160 is a good score and anything above is a sure win if the wicket is same like yesterday.

Dhawan gone. Now Virat comes in. As of now 180 looks like the target.

[FIFA worldcup]

The bowlers bowled brilliantly, but the batsmen played some Cricket. I still feel we could witness a whitewash here. The batsmen need to step up their game.

I don't think WI will be whitewashed. They will at least win 1 t20 match. Their batsman are not consistent. They can wash a team anytime.
In ODI, they will not win a single match I think.

Lets see which match West Indies will be able to win in this series. I don't think they have any chance of winning today match also because india has made 60+ runs in 7 overs without a loss of any wicket. Today India will give a big score for WI batsmen to chase.

Today they are playing like the real India and like how they play in IPL. Saved their face by not losing wickets before 10 overs. Great batting by Rohit (his 6s).

Pant gone for 4. Damn! Now Kohli also gone.... :=(

[Little Mouse]

Once again, Indian middle order is in shit performance. The score was thought to be gone above 200 at the beginning but middle order has ruined this. Imdia has a vast option and they must think about re-organizing their middle order.

[erikalui]

^I am still happy that they did not get less than 100 runs like yesterday. Rohit could have taken it to 180 but now 160 also looks tough. Panday and Pant got out for digits.

Edit: Two consecutive sixes  brought in 160 ;=D

Brilliant from Krunal and Jadeja at the end. Score could be more than 200, however, considering the bowling performance of India, it can predict that India will win if WI batsman don't start any rain of sixes

As expected there is no rain of sixes by west indies but wickets started to tremble for West Indies. This will be an easy win for the India and with that India will win the T20 series.

This was a shit idea to start with Narine provided that Indian bowling attack is one of the good right now. Good news is that Lewis got out, who had 2 century out of 5 matches (now). WI needs to have a big partnership now. They are very poor at this though.

Pant gone for 4. Damn! Now Kohli also gone.... :=(

I have not seen Pant perform in some time and everyone was calling for Dhoni to retire so that someone could take his place  , no one can replace Dhoni.
India has taken 2 wickets now and Bhuvneshwar Kumar taken the wicket of Lewis even today by Knuckle ball. Indian middle order is struggling to score runs and if the top order fails India will struggle to put runs on the board.

Narine usually gives a good start and if he could provide a quick start then it is a win situation for the team and he has performed well for domestic leagues around the globe as an opener. West Indies is not playing with their best team as some of the players are playing for other leagues rather than playing for their national team.

Honestly except Sharma, I can't see any other player performing right now. Rohit saved India many times in the WC by scoring 100+ runs and even Kohli's performance is bad now. Dhoni was always a match saver while people want him to retire from last WC but now what about Kohli? They expect a lot from Dhoni :-(

WI are still in the game. 46 is not a bad score till the 9th over and Pollard is still left to come. Powell hitting 6s and 4s. Game looks scary now.

He has been performing very good lately but imagine if he runs with poor form. I feel like the other players needs to understand their role and change the thing of relying on one man only in batting area.

Powell is gone and there is Hetmyer and Pollard on crease. If they go on hitting then they can easily seal a win here but it's gonna be hard since India has good death bowling unit.

West Indies was in control of the situation when Powell was batting but now their required run rate is well over 15 runs and it is not that easy to score against the Indian bowlers especially when Bhuvneshwar Kumar has two overs left and now the match has being halted because of bad weather, even India is not playing their best team in this series as Jasprit Bumrah is not playing and he is the best bowler in world cricket right now.

Finally D/L decided the result as they couldn't play further and so happy that India won the match and series. But Rohit should have got the MoM award instead of Pandya. His 67 runs took us to the point where we could even get upto 115+ by the 13th over.

What makes you think that they could hit 60+ runs in about 27 balls against a powerful Indian death bowling lineup? The only person who probably could have helped West Indies in this case is Russell who is not a part of the game.

I disagree. Pandya hit a couple of wickets and picked up some crucial wickets which turned the game back in India's favor which is why him getting the MoM award was justified in this case even though Sharma played well.

[erikalui]

^ Still I felt Rohit was more deserving in this match else when mostly batsmen get the MoM and they ignore bowlers, I always support the bowlers but this time the match was not complete.

Tomorrow again the last T20 has to be played so hopefully India again plays well and does not be overconfident as they already won the series. Yesterday WI was playing well but lightning and rain destroyed the match. If they had played, they could possibly get 140 runs atleast.

The purpose of the entire series to be played in the United States to attract new audience into the game back fired big time, the first T20 was a boring match and the second one was an incomplete match because of rain and India won the series 2-0 and hopefully will have some entertainment match in the final game, they need to prepare batsmen friendly wickets if they want to promote cricket in neutral countries who are not aware of the sport and that is how you attract people into the game .

How they are planning to attract new audience, when the tickets were priced so high? The only aim was to make as much money as possible, by robbing the Indian and West Indian expats. The only locals among the audience were a few cheer girls. The ICC need to stop using the rich American expats as money making machines. Give them some respect.

If money was the sole purpose they would have conducted the series in India where they get sell out crowds with each and every match and to play in a neutral ground it has to be something else than money and it is to promote the sport of cricket to the American audience, not sure how successful they will be nor anyone will bother to learn a new sport but these kind of exhibition matches will benefit cricket and if it was an interesting match then you could attract new audience but both the matches were slow paced and one more T20 left, hopefully we will have an entertaining match.

Today India may check their strength of bench. I guess Manish Pandey and Dhawan might get dropped from the playing eleven also there would be more possibilities for the Chahar brothers get their chances to prove their abilities on pace and spin attacks. From the West Indies perspective, they have already lost this series but definitely they will play for their pride by exploring the advantages of home conditions.

Also, I think Rohit Sharma may captain India today as Kohli may get rest with eyeing on ODI preparations+series already found its verdict.
