T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[ene1980]

84 for 4. Dube playing now and I have a feeling we may not even reach 130 today if they keep losing wickets and playing badly. The catches of NZ team are amazing and their fielding too is the best today.

New Zealand is tying India up with spin which is amazing as India is usually known to play spin really well but in this match they are troubled by the New Zealand spin bowlers and India lost 6 wickets where 4 were taken by spinners and they still have 8 overs to go and if they can somehow reach above 150 runs then it would be great as we will see an interesting chase if not it will be a one sided trashing in all departments.

Indian teams wicket are falling like a pack of cards. Three wicket haul for sodhee, impressive balling. What happened to Indian batting today? Are they planning seriously?

I can still understand Samson losing his wicket but what is the excuse for Iyer, Virat and Rahul who are used to playing such games under pressure. Iyer losing his wicket for just one run and hitting carelessly in an international match. They won't even reach 100 at this stage.

Finally reached 100. Is 130 possible now 😔

India is in some trouble as they have already lost 6 wickets for score of just 88 runs in 11 overs. Run rate is not a problem but wickets is crucial and most likely NZ may all out India before their 20 overs. Manish Pandey is batting and if India has to cross 150 he has to stay till last over. NZ has a good chance to wrap India under 130 now if they can take another quick wicket here.

The win of New Zealand is confirmed, because how India kept scoring before the wickets of Kohli and Rahul and the current playing is entirely in the opposite direction. In this match few wickets looked to be unwanted wickets, particularly the wicket of Kohli, Washington Sundar, Rahul. Somehow India will manage to score between 130-140 as six more overs remaining for the first innings.

Thanks to Pandey and Thakur that India got a decent score as even 120 was looking tough but now it seems they can reach 160 if Pandey doesn't lose his wicket. They are already 8 down.

^^ 165 runs looks good considering India were struggling at 88/6, they are back in game.

This inning is going to help Manish pandey for sure, that's exactly indian team looking in any middle order batsman " Perform when Top order collapse".

Shardul thakur is impressive as well with the bat down the order.

Thanks to Manish pandey and Shardul thakur India reached a good score. Manish pandey has proven himself today. In that situation if he is able to perform then India has a lower middle order batsman.

Now it depends on Indian bowlers.

The match is balanced on both the sides now as NZ requires another 69 runs in 47 balls and 7 wickets in hand. If NZ can build a good partnership, then they would be able to win this match. And if India can get couple of quick wickets here then they will fancy their chance of winning this match. Munro run out can change the game now as he was set and batting well before got out at 64 runs.

Again the final over jitters for New Zealand, 7 runs to win in the final over and the first ball they lost the wicket of Ross Taylor, if we see a tie in this and another super over it would be fun, New Zealand can still win the match as they have the batsman to finish the match and register the first win of the series.
The next ball they scored a boundary, now 3 runs of 4 balls.

Update: Another run out, now 3 balls 3 runs. India is fighting for the win. It is incredible.
Another wicket gone, now 2 runs to win in the last ball  .

Damn another super over. What is New Zealand doing   .

Super over:
India already dropped 2 catches which is terrible but both were difficult chances and now they lost one wicket.

Update: India need 14 runs to win the super over.

[Haunebu]

Lol. This is insane. 2 super overs in a row and both of them went to India. I still have no clue as to why Southee decided to bowl the super over especially after his recent debacle. New Zealand fans must be losing it currently.

I have never observed this level of bad luck associated with any team before. New Zealand will probably try their best to never reach a super over ever again in the future. New Zealand is over reliant on their top order batsmen which is something they need to work on soon.

[pakhitheboss]

I had given hope and stopped watching the match as I felt India will lose this match, to my surprise they won it.

Bad luck for New Zealand, they played well but 2nd time in a row they lost due to super over.

[erikalui]

Stopped watching the match and left home. Saw ESPN and thought that I am seeing the previous match details lol


Again tie, again super over and again NZ lost 😜

That's true, if one hasn't watched the match it is truly hard to believe that India once again ended in a tie with New Zealand and won the match on Super over. New Zealand is missing every winning chance, based on this match result this series is gonna be a whitewash for the New Zealand cricket team on their home ground.

After New Zealand lost to England in the super over in the world cup, they're carrying this curse. A tie is a rare event and New Zealand are having them in two consecutive matches leading to super over and losing on both. They need to do something to lift this curse. Maybe wining the next T20I world cup with a good margin would help.

Two consecutive tie matches i have not heard and both won in the super over shows the fighting spirit of India who is not willing to loose the match even when they seem to loose till the final stage and they somehow come up with performance that they could edge better, incredible matches and they just proved that India is a force to recon in the up coming world cup along with England and Australia.

What's really going on? Two match on super over at a row. NZ is very unlucky but two super over match at a row is kind of fishy to me. I know I am saying something which has no logic behind but it seems something fishy here lol.
I had used a local gambling site, damn I have lost the match, thought NZ will come back this time.

New Zealand is overdependent on a few players. A Kiwi side without players such as Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, Neil Wagner is not even good enough to defeat an associate side such as the Netherlands or Scotland. If their players are fit enough, then they will be able to perform well in the world cup. Else, I don't expect them to progress much.

You just have this mindset because you lost that bet.

I don't think there is any kind of shady activities involved in these matches because these are international matches but don't have much importance even if any team win this match since India already got the t20 title of this match with their first 3 wins.

How they are going to fix the match, so that they get a super-over? Even of all the 22 players engage in match-fixing, this will be very difficult to achieve. It was sheer coincidence that two consecutive matches ended in a tie, and the outcomes were decided by the super-over. Unless the user have some concrete proof, I would say that there was not even a 0.01% of these matches being fixed.

Something unbelievable only happened as Nz required 19 runs in 20 balls and had 6 wickets in hand and from their  the game started to change a bit and finally they came in a position where they match got tied . Is Nz not able to handle the pressure or just they do not plan and bat . Something really need to be seen here . But India played well and won the match .

This time they needed 3 runs from the last 4 balls. And during the last match it was 2 runs from 4 balls. And in both the matches, they ended up losing the super-over. This is really horrible finishing from New Zealand. Last time, they lost the match although Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor were batting during the final over. The credit goes to Indian captain Virat Kohli, for his magnificent tactics and aggression.
