T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[7788bitcoin]

Boys and girls! South Africa tour of India is about to Kick in, they are going to play 3 T-20 and 3 Test Match series. I feel that they could play one more test, though And for some, it might come as a shock, but there is no ODI series in this Tour, but that's fine because lately I got bored with 50 overs match, Maybe overdose (WC).

Does that mean that BCCI is giving important to T20 and Test matches rather than ODI. If you are betting, Test and ODI we will have a clear picture on how the match will go but with T20 the risk is really high, hopefully these teams are getting prepared for the T20 world cup and hence they are focusing on that format, either way i am way more in Test matches as India is really strong in their home ground and i see some easy money on that series.

Yes I think that we will see a lot more T20 matches over ODI matches in the coming months between all the teams as like you said the T20 World Cup is coming up and it looks like they want to get the team prepared for that. India should dominate this series as South Africa have been poor this year and after a very poor World Cup they will need to improve if they are to have any chance against India in both series.

I have not seen a competitive series from South Africa for a long time and with the tremendous form Indian players are in, there is no doubt that India will be trashing South Africa in the Test series but i expect a competitive T20 series.

And for some, it might come as a shock, but there is no ODI series in this Tour, but that's fine because lately I got bored with 50 overs match, Maybe overdose (WC).

It is a shock that there is no ODI in the tour, team is concentrating on Test matches because of the Test Championship and T20 for the World cup.

Sep 15  : Ist T-20 in Dharamsala  ( I must add beautiful stadium, Location is epic! )

Dharamshala is a really beautiful place and once you land there you will see Buddhists people in the street as it is famous for their monastery and i have even visited the empty stadium last year  .

[RapTarX]

South Africa's performance in world cup was worst, from that point I guess I'm safe to say India will certainly win both series. However, it depends on how SA will perform. It's not obvious that they will be dummy as they were in WC.

3 Match T-20 Series

• Sep 15  : Ist T-20 in Dharamsala  ( I must add beautiful stadium, Location is epic! )

Weather as well  
In Dharamsala, it rains most of the times. It must not be selected as venue during this time. In Dharamsala, the average rainfall is 2883mm. It will not be a surprise if it rains for a straight 7 days now.

South Africa has got the good team with experienced players, but they are unlucky to win big tournaments. When we go through the individual performance of the players they have a good record, but as a team they always fail. One thing, most of the matches lost will be on the close border.

Yes, the stadium is located in a high rainfall region. Even if it rains, there is nothing to think about. It is good for the teams to play it as a two match series, because all of the sudden rainfall will be big. The climate change happens very instantly.

Unlike you, I think they are a good team and have a good coordination amongst them. Don't judge them as a bad team just because they didn't performed upto expectations in WC. They have very fine batsman and bowlers. It's just that they weren't prepared for the WC I guess.

I kinda have a hunch that they will surprise India in this series after flop show in WC.

That area is more prone to rainfall and this might be not a good thing to happen for the cricket. People are awaiting for the India vs SA eagerly and rain could just hit the match and also it is T20 so their would not be much scope also left even if it gets reduced in overs.

True, Beautiful and Wet

Rain is issue there but only in July-Aug and Sep's first 2 weeks. after that 1-2 hours at best, guess they can tackle this with ease. if they have okayish drainage system in the ground.

Tri-Nation Series
Ban vs Zim

Tamim is on leave, we will not see him, I don't want to see him either. Mehedi Hasan has been replaced by another Mahedi (lol), totally inexperienced players. The match will be hosted at Sher-E-Bangla, therefore, expecting a high scoring match, however, rain is here all the time today since 12 a.m.

There is a Tibetan refugee settlement near Dharamshala and the Dalai Lama lives there. The monasteries are visited by Buddhist pilgrims from all around the world. It is situated at a height of 1,500m and it is perhaps the highest international cricket stadium in India. Nearby, there is another cricket ground in Chail. The Chail Cricket Ground was established in 1893 and is having an elevation of 2,444 meters above sea level (making it the highest cricket ground in the world).

South Africa tour of India, 2019

I would spot it later if I would not see this. Finally a T20 series after long break. Last one was in between India vs WI I guess. Anyway, I do not think SA has any chance in the T20 series or even in the Test and ODI series.

I think It would be an easy win for Tigers. Bangladesh don't need tamim to win against Zimbabwe. Shakib, Mushi,Mahmudullah is enough to seal the victory. Tri Nation series is important for Bangladesh to see about the teams T20 condition.

I hope Bangladesh will make a good start today. Expecting 170-180 runs on the board if Bangladesh bat first. New player's have been added to see how they can perform internationally because we have T20 World cup next year. It's a future plan I think.

I saw the odds for the match but i was not sure about the team strengths as it is a short version of the game and i have not seen any matches with Zimbabwe in recent memories, the odds are not that great for Bangladesh to wage a bet but still i am not sure what to make of the situation after seeing the performance of Bangladesh against Afghanistan in their recent Test match and historically Zimbabwe have defeat Bangladesh in the past series in T20.

Hamilton Masakadza, Brandon Taylor are two of their great players, Sikandar Raza will be missed. However, toss is being delayed due to wet outfield, may be within one hour, we may see the game starting. It was rain whole day, just stopped.

South Africa tour of India, 2019

I do not think SA has any chance in the T20 series or even in the Test and ODI series.

I have mix feeling about this Tour.

In T-20 games everything is possible so we can expect some fight. but in Test format they are in bad shape, senior players retirement not helping their cause and they have like 6-7 new faces in the 15 member squad.

Due to rain, Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe match has been reduced to 18, Zimbabwe is in trouble at the moment. After 13th, 76/5. Bangladesh should easily win the match. No one other than Hamilton Masakadza had a good score till now. He batted pretty well.

With the bowling strength India has and that too when playing in their own background i do not see any challenge from any team with the form they are in. India is a very strong team and is capable of challenging teams outside the subcontinent and i see India winning the series easily. I wonder what the odds will be for India to win.

Zimbabwe scored 144 runs. I am not familiar with the Zimbabwe bowling, anyone expecting an upset here.

The target for BAN is 145. ZIM did quite well considering they managed to get 68 runs in the last 5 overs ie. almost 13.5 runs per over. 

Hmm... Looks like Ryan Burl thrashed Shakib's last over for 30 runs.  So they have scored 38 runs in the remaining 4 overs that's 9.5 runs per over which is also not bad at all. Let's hope BAN doesn't lose to ZIM too after their test defeat against AFG.

[Little Mouse]

Poor start from Bangladesh. But now the match is getting alive by Mosaddek and Afif Hosain. Although it's still far away from the chase. Zimbabwe played brilliant even after losing early wickets.
Come on tigers.

Bangladesh may end up winning this match. The 7th wicket partnership from Afif Hossain and Mosaddek Hossain has scored 46 runs from just 25 balls. Another 39 runs are needed from 26 balls and if they score at this rate then they should be able to pull it through. Zimbabwe badly needs one wicket, but they are running out of bowling options.
