T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Vishnu.Reang]

Undoubtedly India is one of the possible winner of the upcoming T20 world cup. The fashion they win the matches is a beauty to see. I was thinking a win for WI after having that much run in the scoreboard but I was wrong. Good thing that I was not in gambling mood or could lose money easily. India made this chase so easy that it never felt that it was 200+ runs to chase.

The same was said about India before the ODI world cup as well (CWC 2019), but they even failed to reach the final. Undoubtedly India is one of the strongest T20 teams out there, but IMO, the winner of the 2020 T20 World Cup is going to be either England or Australia. West Indies may reach the semi-finals, but they may find it difficult to find a slot in the final.

Rahul & Kohli partnership seal the match for India and what a way to chase down the score of 208 runs and that too with 6 wickets remaining and 8 balls to spare. Shows how well they batted under the pressure of chasing such a huge score.

I placed a bet when I saw such big score on the board for WI but unlucky that India have taken the win for them. Kohli played much beauty than expected. I thought a close win for WI.
Well, I'm not agree with you. Although India has won the match, don't forget the bowling action of WI are some kind of worst. ENG, AUS & NZ are far better than WI bowling and it will not be easy for India to lift the t20 world cup.

From the way they batted, it never looked as if they were under pressure. 

But it is definitely humiliating for the West Indies to lose a match, even after scoring such a massive total. They need to think seriously about their bowlers. None of them apart from Cottrell performed well. Perhaps it won't be a very bad idea to recall Sunil Narine and replace either Khary Pierre or Hayden Walsh. Pierre picked up two wickets, but his bowling looked sub-standard.

I agree that India are choking these days when reaching the finals of major tournaments, but I don't think that will happen every single time. It might come down to India and England in the finals in my opinion.

It won't be easy for any team to lift the T-20 World Cup, but the Indian team looks damn strong and they will be a lot stronger once Bumrah is back in the fold. This is why I can understand why many people consider them as the potential champions of the upcoming World Cup tournament.

I enjoyed the last night's match. Lot of emotions and trash talk in games but Kohli totally silenced those. I loved the part when Kohli mimicked Williams celebration when he scored off a 6 on one of his deliveries. Kohli was so hyper yesterday but eventually it paid off. He kinda struggled at the start tho.

BTW I won yesterday's bet after waiting for conclusion of the first. Got some cheesy odds on India and prayed for starting to 3 to play some good innings and they did. Doubled my money- Thanks to Rahul and Kohli

If you are looking for a good T20 team then England have the most chance to become a double champion, ODI world cup champion and now the T20 world cup as they have the best T20 batsman in the team and they have the bowling to back it up and they have the team to chase any score, so my money is on England to win as it will be a rare double. The problem with India is that the team is dependent on Kohli and if he misfires they might loose the match.

He was struggling to get his touch back. He was having difficulties to chase down runs in T20 and ODI. But I think today he just gets back his magical touch and wins it for India. Two of his flick and the last six were best of the match.

By the way, I like the way Kohli finished the match and also the celebration of the winning hit. This guy is a legend although  he still has a long way to go to get his name next to the other legands like Sachin.

There was a time when cricket meant India and Pakistan but now it's only India.

It is difficult to suggest who will be the winner of next T20 world cup because it will be held in October and there is still a lot of time for the teams to prepare and come strong to this cup. I am also looking to see South Africa could perform well as an underdog team in the next WC. Their current rating is at No 4 and India current T20 rating is No. 5.

Even still the matches between India and Pakistan will be the most sponsors gainers and money generating ones, despite the Pakistani team bad performance recently.

Ranking does not matter otherwise Pakistan would have performed much better in the last few series.

@Umar now its Just in past Pakistan performance was good now they are aweful not near to good I was checking few things so have information Mudassar Nazar was saying even Sri Lanka can beat Pakistan at home as now they are down in quality and moral so its very long time for them to be in good or average team.

The problem with Pakistan is that they were performing well in the past two years in the T20 format and so is the reason they are ranked well above the rest of the teams and now they are struggling because their batsman are not in form and after the failure against Sri Lanka at home they have completely changed their team and you need to give them time start performing again like they used to and in the T20 format you cannot judge a team with the rankings as you might see upsets every now and then.

I think the only hope now for the Pakistani team is to forget the past and look forward towards the future. The PSL is the next big thing in the Pakistan T20 league and hopefully many players will find the form back in this tournament and we might also find some new good players.

P.S I will come up with a new PSL thread soon.

Only PSL is not going to do any magic PCB need to work on many things like change of policies change of mind and they must work on merit not on personal likes and dislikes its very hard right now as most of peoples working on policital connections not on merit and domestic tournaments have every year new policies these all are hurting seriously and new talent losing interest in games.

PSL was a good initiative and that is the reason Pakistan dominated the T20 format for a long time but now the batsman are lacking confidence and they are not performing and so is the reason they are getting defeated and i hope they next edition will instill confidence in the players and will help finding in form players for the next world cup.

From what I have heard, PSL is not doing good. Many of the franchises are in financial loss, and they recently reduced the salaries of many top players. The problem is that all the other cricket boards want to copy the IPL and replicate a similar tournament in their home countries. The idea is good, but they should study about the viability first. And given the poor economic condition of Pakistan right now, I don't think that the PSL can do any wonders. One good thing is that this time they are scheduling all the matches within Pakistan, unlike the previous editions where only one or two matches were played in Pakistan and the rest being staged in UAE.

Who do you think will win today's match between India. And West Indies.

Last match was the best match when India set a new record of chasing a big total.
Both teams have a brilliant batting line up and the game changer was Kohli' s batting last time.

Unless the Indians get overconfident and complacent (which happened during the second T20I versus Bangladesh), they should win the match. West Indies team bonding is still not there, and they need to concentrate on their bowling. All the bowlers apart from Cottrell failed last time. Walsh, Holder, Williams.etc needs to give support to Sheldon Cottrell, if they want to defeat India.

If I am to pick an honest winner then it will be India of course LOL but in the pool I think I will go with a tie (Pool needs to have some spice LOL ).

I am expecting India to win the match and it is played in Kerala and i expect Kohli to give Sanju Samson an opportunity in this match to play, if not the entire crowd might boo the team from start to finish  .

It was a masterclass chase by Rahul and Kohli and we might expect the same intensity today too.

Feel bad for Sanju, i was hoping to see him play as opener in the first game. Now starting to wondering if he has tattoo on his body or not? it seems to me that if you have tattoo then you can get many opportunity to play for India (Pun intended)
