T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[akhjob]

A superb final. When SA scored 222, I thought they are going to win the series. But after the early loss of Roy, Butler and Bairstow made a nice partnership and seemed to be in the upper hand. But SA seemed to be back in the game when they dismissed Bairstow but the ENG captain, Morgan took the match away from them with some really nice hard hittings. I honestly didn't believe that ENG would be chasing such a massive total. Well done 

@JSRAW congrats on your winning bet

There is no way England could loose this match now, South Africa dropped some catches in the field and that is not going to help them, if they want to win matches they need to step up their fielding standards, at one point of time they were the epitome of fielding standards but now i am seeing many dropped chances by their fielders and Eoin Morgan played a match winnings innings after a long time as he was scoring boundaries with ease and now they won the series and all the matches were really close and entertaining.
England won the match with 5 balls to spare.

We have witnessed some of the scintillating batting by bairstow, butler and Morgan who had hit the boundaries all across the park and never allowed SA bowlers to settle down . England were always on the top inspite of losing an early wicket of Roy . England won the series by 2-1.

When a team wants to chase a big total then they have to keep one thing in mind which is keep wickets in hand that is what exactly executed by team ENG so they won the match easily even after the huge score on the board.Butler and Bairstow made this possible by scored runs at good rate and also not get tempted to score early runs.

Totally I was confused at middle of the game in 2 innings who will be going to win the match today. because the south african gives very big target to England when they has lose their first wicket I thought south africa going to win easily but finally Morgan changed the match results at end.

Butler and Bairstow added 111 run together at strike rate of 200 so they are the one really contributed and lead the team to winning patch then finally Morgan came and played at 260 strike rate made winning moment to them so winning plan just began since when their first wicket fell and they continued until they execute their win.

If you have some solid start from top order then any good player can contribute because its all about quality today we have quality from top 3 English batsmen Butler Bairstow and Morgan they all destroy South African bowling attack very badly but still this was very interesting match England going with pride test series won ODI level and twenty/20 won good tour for them.

The series was dominated by the batsman from both the sides and Eoin Morgan played really well throughout the series and so does the South African opening pair Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma but they were not able to win the series but all the matches were really close and South Africa won one match because of an incredible over by Lungi Ngidi and the rest of the matches they were not able to put the same pressure on the England batsman.

England might have won the series, but we can still conclude one thing from these three matches that South Africa, with a little further push, can actually be a good fighter in upcoming T20 world cup. For the South African cricket board, there's still some time left to try out new combinations, new techniques, and add a couple of quality bowlers to the team before the big world cup. Before these three matches, we (or at least I) considered South Africa to be extremely weak in T20s, but they've turned around those speculations for sure!

All the matches were really close and news are coming out that Du Plessis reigned his T20 and Test captaincy and the openers played really well in the series and the rumors that AB de Villiers will be returning for the World Cup would boost their batting strength and if their main bowlers are injury free then they will have a strong team. They need to figure out the fast bowling combination as Andile Phehlukwayo, Beuran Hendricks and Dwaine Pretorius were not that effective in the concluded series.

@JSRAW
How was the win  I said that bro.
England team played amazingly. Morgan was amazing yesterday. Can't believe that Lungi Ngidi was so much expensive. SA really needs some reshape in their bowling. They are having worst combination since world cup. The era of Dale Steyn & Co. has been ended and no one can replace.

Thanks @akhjob

@RapTarX : Haha it was sweet victory. After watching South Africa inning, I didn't had much hope from England as it was big target but they did it anyway. Quite comfortably and in style, congrats to you too.

Fast bowling is a concern, as they consistently conceded over 200 in the T20 series. Even Dale Steyn looked out of form. Ngidi looked good in the first match, but he was very expensive in the second and third matches. Andile Phehlukwayo was mediocre, and I really hope that they will replace him with someone who is more capable of bowling at the death overs.

Dale Steyn is coming back in the team after a long lay off and he will need some matches to get back in his groove and their world cup squad will consist of Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Dale Steyn and it will be a good formidable attack and they need to find two bowlers to complete the quota. The Australian grounds will be bigger and if they create pitches that have equal importance to bowlers and batsman then it would be a good contest for all the team. Australia, India and England are the favorites to win the cup and if ABD returns it will strengthen South Africa and their possibilities.

Thanks, I was about to lose a big sum. I was quite confidence before the match started. In fact, it's reasonable to expect England to win over South Africa provided that SA's recent performance was bad for a long time. But after SA put such a big target, I was too a bit worried hahaha. Because this is the big amount I have bet ever. I used to bet lower amount on sportsbet; same as in others games though.
Lucky that England played as they should be.

Steyn/Ngidi/Rabada looks formidable in T20 format. The only issue here is that all three of them are very prone to injury and I don't know whether all of them will be fit by the time of the T20 world cup. In that case, they will be forced to play sub-standard players such as Andile Phehlukwayo and Beuran Hendricks. And given that it is South Africa, I don't know whether all these players will remain in South Africa, or they will go Kolpak.

If South Africa opted to bowl first, the total story would have been complete different; I am saying this with consideration of wonderful batting pitch and South Africa chose to bat first due to their 2 run defeat in second T20I. Sounds like misled by recent tracks rather than considering the nature of flat pitch. Luckily I bet on England and got good returns as odds were too good.

England seems too stronger with their batting line up compared to their bowling unit. This may be due to the flat pitch almost all the bowlers were leaking runs there. I choose England with half mind as hosts are always my favorite to bet with but my inner thoughts guided me to bet on England and I was right with my prediction. Really a rare one for me .

The pitch was not much different from the other T20 surfaces. Rather than the ground conditions, it was the smaller boundaries which gave extra advantage to the batsmen. On top of that, both the teams were strong in their batting departments and weak in bowling. England was missing star bowlers such as Jofra Archer, while South Africa was missing Rabada.

Injury is a major concern for South Africa and the rest of the teams and South Africa was affected by injuries even during the ODI World Cup and they had the worst performance to date and if they is no injury to their main players and if ABD gets selected to the team then they will be a formidable team that could challenge any team and now Dale Steyn will be participating in PSL and then in the IPL to have some exposure and these two tournaments will have a major impact on the team selection .

[coinfinger]

Women's T20 world cup starts on coming 21st and in first match India is going to face the host Australia. Currently I am betting only on freebitco.in and I checked with them, it seems they are not covering this women's tournament. Not sure about the reasons from them to ignore this one of the major event of cricket world.

Edit:
Just checked with stakes sportsbetting platform they are currently listing practice matches also with odds. It means I believe women T20 world cup matches might be available on stakes to bet with.

I think
South Africa has a shortage of mental improvement. There is no consistency in their game since the World Cup. They lost their pelache traditions. Dale Steyn at the time of the burn in my opinion, has made himself to play tournament like IPL.
