T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

India have dominated the T20 series against New Zealand so far, I get the feeling that New Zealand have lost their edge after returning home from Australia after a poor test series. It seems to me that New Zealand have lost their way and need to get back that winning mentality.

In last few months they have very bad time which hurt them badly they need to recover this I am feeling they are still in shock of Word Cup just because of this they are not settled but they must need to solve this all before twenty/20 world cup as they can emerge as Dark Horse for this.

This is more like a temporary setback for New Zealand, caused by the injuries to their main players. I am sure that they will return to form, once players such as Boult and Ferguson are able to play for the team. But you are right. The slide started right after their tour of Australia. Until then, they were in good form and had won a series against England at home. The problem with New Zealand is that they are having a limited player pool, and therefore they are not able to replace the injured players.

I now doubt if they'll ever bounce back. While India performed well in all departments, they failed in all department since their last tour of Australia. It would be really nice to see them show a fight as they did with the ENG tour. If they continue this form, the morale of the NZ players will certainly drop and will affect the team badly.

India is playing aggressive cricket and so is the reason they were able to win the first two T20 match, in the first match they started well and played well but India managed to restrict their over all total of about 20 runs from the way they started and India chased the match perfectly and in today's match they got a good start but the bowlers were able to pick wickets at regular intervals and put pressure back to New Zealand.

This might be the problem they are facing but they should use this opportunity to find new players and give them the opportunity to perform, in the first match the absence of Boult might be the case as he has the ability to swing the ball and pick early wickets but in the second T20 the batting team collapsed, will see how New Zealand will respond in the third T20 as it is a decider and if they fail that then the series is over.

Anyone following under 19 worldcup.? The matches are wonderful to watch and the next generation of players showing some great athleticism. India and West Indies is unbeaten in their groups and even Afghanistan is playing great cricket. My bet for the trophy is India but knockout stage will be crucial.

Anyone following under 19 worldcup.?

Unfortunately no. In fact because of being very busy in real life lately I am not following the regular cricket much too. I have not watched any match of the Pakistan vs Bangladesh series, still have not watched any match in New Zealand vs India series too. And the other formats as usual. After few days I was only able to manage time to watch few overs of South African innings against England and this is it.

I am expecting less business in the coming days so hopefully I will be watching rest of the T20 of India vs New Zealand.

By the way, I was expecting at least one win for Bangladesh in the series against Pakistan but seems like Pakistan did not give them any chance after all.

Oh I check the scores whenever possible, but haven't watched a single game in U19 worldcup. With my work and study schedule, I hardly have time to watch the main events. But I somehow manage to watch a few games from time to time. Maybe I'll try to catch the Worldcup finals.
I envy those having lots of time to watch games  
Looks like the 3rd T20 match between PAK and BAN has been abandoned because of rain. So, it's 2-0 and PAK remains on top of the table.

Yes, the under 19 WorldCup series is going on really interesting to watch because there are some matches that has been ended with a thrilling knockout and the Indian team under 19 has won three out of three matches. Now I am waiting for next level matches because it will be more exciting to watch at the knockout stage.

Here is the current status of under 19 WorldCup series.

Group B pretty much looks like group of Death and most surprising thing that west Indies on top in this group beating both England and Australia looks like their U-19 team too is filled with big hitters and finishers. West Indian future looks bright to me but don't know what happens to them in other formats of this game. Indian team too looks great. Looks like I need to follow these matches too.

[ubercool]

Look at Bangla U - 19 team's net run rate..!! I feel like they should've been sent to the regular Pakistan vs Bangladesh series. They would have played allot better imo.

Also it looks like Bangladesh has lost the series to Pakistan as it is harder for them to come back with only 2 matches remaining in the series which is led by Pakistan.

Even a full strength New Zealand is no match for India. And with their players missing due to injury, any chances for a New Zealand win is minimal. On top of the setback from injuries, some of their top players are out of form (such as Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor). In the first T20, some of the players returned to form and I hope that things will stay like that for the remainder of the series.

Rain washed the third (and last) match of the series in Lahore today; it seems like Pakistan won the T20i series and keeping their rank of number one T20i team. The upcoming test series in Rawalpindi is gonna be quite interesting, and I don't expect it to be one-sided.

Do we have a PSL thread yet? It seems like the tournament will begin next month.

Don't get over confident my friend, T20 is not clear cut as say test matches and we see it all the time that any team can win on the day in T20 cricket no matter how good the team is. New Zealand have shown that they can be a top team as they had a successful year in 2019 but haven't been able to keep that winning mentality going after playing in Australia. Playing the Australian team at full strength I think hurt New Zealand as they were no match for them and this can continue on in the short form of the game which we are seeing. But it can all change with just one victory so lets see what New Zealand can do in this next match.

That's true. T20 is a format which gives no advantage to any of the sides. The chances of an upset is much higher when compared to any other format. And New Zealand would still rank among the top 5 cricket teams, if we go by the strength. Their performance was disappointing so far, but India should not make the mistake of becoming over-confident. Whenever they got over-confident, even weaker teams such as Bangladesh and West Indies have defeated them. On top of that, the Kiwis have the home advantage, which they may put in to good use in the upcoming matches.

At time’s its surprising as well beacuse the beat of the teams in one format may just not be that good in other format . And also T20 and test match is just opposite of each other . It requires a strong mentality to switch the games as per situation and any team which is even little over confident can lose matches very quickly atleast in T20 formats .

I don't think we have one yet. But if you are interested in it, create one. I believe if you created one dedicated thread, some of us will show some interest towards it.

I am interested to create a superbru pool for it if we have enough players to perticipate. We really need at least 8 to 10 users to make it fun and entertaining. Without a pool I do not see there are any need for a separate thread for T20 events while we have this thread already.

I would suggest everyone to leave their comments on this:
Would you join the pool  and how much entry fee you are okay with?

Royse777: Yes and minimum 0.002BTC.

I am interested to join the pool. I think a pool will bring much fun than the other mutual bets of you. I propose a fee of 0.001 BTC, above 0.001 BTC will be high I think and we will not get more participants.
If everyone agrees with 0.002 BTC count me in too. I will not forget this time

Tbh, I haven't watched a single PSL match and I hardly know the names of the players in the team, so I will miss this one out   What's the point in betting if you don't know about it.
Which reminds me of your thread regarding IPL .

I will not forget this time

It's better to subscribe to t.me/royseMultiBet, that's how I get notified of the latest betting threads of Royse.

I am on same boat as @akhjob as i only watched PSL couple of times and didn't had good vibe watching any game except few spell of bowling but its rare nowadays everywhere. Having said that if our community really interested so count me in as well, free or paid i am ready for both type of pools. Although i would not suggest any free pool as it only attracts spam.

I don't want Rohit for the next 3 T20s as he is not in good form and just getting single digits and is the first one to lose his wicket. Prithvi is also in the squad so they can try him instead and take a chance. I don't even like Dube's performance as he is eager to hit 6s and 4s from the start.
