T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[bryant.coleman]

Saini got away with two intentional beamers during last year's IPL (against Marcus Stoinis of Delhi Capitals and then against Rahul Tewatia of Rajasthan Royals). In any other country, this would have resulted in a life ban. On both the occasions, rather than apologizing, Kohli was encouraging this sort of disgusting behavior.

There is a correction here, bowling beamers will not attract a life ban according to the laws of cricket. In an innings you will get a warning for the first beamer and if you ball another beamer in the same innings you will be banned to bowl in that innings.

MCC tried to change this rule to one beamer and you are out of the innings from bowling but there were many critics against that change and hence they are still continuing with the old rule.

I guess that is for unintentional beamers. Sometimes the ball slips out of bowler's hand and it turns out to be a beamer. But I watched Saini bowling on both occasions, and it was clear that he did that intentionally. And I posted about this many months ago. And even after all this, he refused to apologize. Stoinis escaped without major injury, but Tewatia was hit really hard. It is up to the match referee to decide on the quantum of punishment. But the match referees (Manu Nayyar and Prakash Bhatt) also refused to act.

Personally, I don't believe that he had done it intentionally but if you say so then it's just because its the team of Indian captain that's why he was exempted as they get blindfolded when your captain is the captain of India or you are a current player of Indian cricket team.

They have one quality spinner Chahal and in Banglore's ground, they won't need the second spinner. So they must invest in quality fast bowler.

They even had Starc in their squad but it didn't change any changes in their history. Currently, RCB is loaded with young Indian talents like Sundar, Chahal, Siraj, Saini,etc but the one pace bowler is certainly missing who can clock 150kmph but due to the small ground it also end up bad for RCB. I think this year they need to invest on a good opening player which is the one lacking for them and Kohli and ABD come to the crease too early which shattered their entire plan.

Apart from Sundar, all of the other players listed here are known for their arrogance. Saini got away with two intentional beamers during last year's IPL (against Marcus Stoinis of Delhi Capitals and then against Rahul Tewatia of Rajasthan Royals). In any other country, this would have resulted in a life ban. On both the occasions, rather than apologizing, Kohli was encouraging this sort of disgusting behavior.

Now those players entered into their international cricket career so I guess they will be very cautious while playing any games in the future. Kohli known for his aggression which is actually a good approach but there is bit difference for being aggressive and arrogant so he should not cross the limits or he may ruin his career even he is the best batsman in the world.

Anyone placed a bet in the semi final between Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the odds were really great at one point with Tamil Nadu having odds of above 2 and looking at the form Tamil Nadu is in it was evident that they would win the match, since it is a T20 match anything is possible but Tamil Nadu always plays better cricket during crucial matches and they are chasing well and will win the match.
Another match i am looking forward is South Africa woman and Pakistan woman and my pick is South Africa woman and made a parlay and hopefully wins big  .

Congrats if you placed the bet on Tamil Nadu, one more game to go for you.

I was considering betting on Semis but not aware about quality of cricket played in Sayed Mustaq Ali Trophy so skipped it. Will try betting on next semi Punjab vs Baroda, if i got the good tip.

I was watching certain matches and hence i knew about the strength of Tamil Nadu, there were many dropped catches in the match and Dinesh Karthik was smart enough to place the best fielder in the team Arun Karthik according to the batsman strength and at one point i thought Rajasthan would score above 200 runs but the middle overs they picked wickets and restricted them and then i sighed a relief.

I wanted to place a bet on Punjab, but i skipped because Baroda has good bowlers and bowled well in this series.

Pakistan Woman team's is batting now, they have lost 1 wicket in 3 overs and scored 14 runs. The South African woman team is much stronger and more stable than the Pakistan woman team. If there will no miracle happen, South Africa will get an easy victory in today's match

I have no doubt about South Africa Woman as they will win the match easily.

How to watch these matches, i have seen the betting option but as long as i am not able to watch the match i am not too confident in placing a bet, either way you made some good picks and it would be great if you could put your picks early so that i will follow that up and make a decision on placing a bet.

Watched the highlights of Tamil Nadu vs Rajasthan match on Hotstar (couldn't watch it live because of work commitments). Tamil Nadu played really well, and their performance was really good for this season. However, it was irritating to see so many catches being dropped by the TN fielders. It was surprising to see the medium pacer M Mohammed picking up 4 wickets, because I had never heard about him before. For Rajasthan, their captain Ashok Menaria batted well, but didn't got much support from others.

I don't think any of the sports channel is providing with live stream. The only choice is to watch the scores and commentary on the cricket match information providing sites like crickbuzz, Cricinfo.

I was able to watch the live telecast using JioTV application, other than that i am not sure how you are able to watch the matches in other parts of the world. But if you have Hotstar i think you can watch the match, If i am not watching the matches then i wont be able to place a bet as i do not do blind betting either .

Till the finals Baroda played really well, the batting is decent enough but their strength is their bowlers as they restricted teams even with sub par score. Toss is important, Tamil Nadu is comfortable in chasing as they have done throughout the tournament.

My pick is Tamil Nadu because they lost the last tournament for just one run and they are here in this tournament to win it and Dinesh Karthik is a really great captain and i really liked his tactical approach and how he manages the bowlers and giving them advice every delivery on where to bowl and giving them confidence even if they are hit for boundaries.

I also want to bet on Tamil Nadu. The team has been performing quite well since the beginning of the season. And I have faith in Dinesh Kartik. He is a very experienced player and captain. Hopefully, he will do his best to win the Emerson trophy.

Hotstar is only available in three countries which are US, Canada and India.

But it is easy to unblock Hotstar for most of the countries which you can used to watch the highlights but to catch live stream the premium subscription needed which can't be used where it is not officially available.

I saw the odds in the semi final, Baroda was the underdog and yet they played well and since i am not aware of the tournament i skipped from placing a bet in the entire tournament even though i see users placing bet in stake.
I saw the team list and Dinesh Karthik is the only player i know, might place a small bet on Tamil Nadu and see how it will go.

I won't be making a bet for this match, but I guess Tamil Nadu has the advantage. I watched the semi-final match between Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan and the former looked like a well balanced side with bowlers such as Murugan Ashwin, Sai Kishore.etc and quality batsmen such as Jagadeesan and Arun Karthik. On top of that they are captained by the experienced Dinesh Karthik. On the other hand, there are no big names in the Baroda squad. Even the name of the captain (Kedar Devdhar) sounds unfamiliar to me.

Thanks.. I looked into winner list and the last time they won the trophy was way back in 2006-07. Their opponent Baroda won 2 finals so far. Presence of DK in Tamil Nadu giving some confidence tho so will go with Tamil Nadu as well, odds are not encouraging atm so will wait for at least few overs before making any bets.

Around 1 hour to go for the SMA Trophy final. Apart from Dinesh Karthik, I can't find any big names participating in this match, which is quite disappointing. At least I expected emerging players such as T Natarajan, Washington Sundar.etc to take part. Tamil Nadu players such as R Ashwin, Murali Vijay, Vijay Shankar.etc used to take part regularly in the domestic tournaments, and I am not sure why they skipped this one.

Washington is in the Test Squad, you don't want any sort of injury before the England series (Ashwin is in test squad also). Natarajan deserve some rest, he's has been in bubble since August last year.

I think Tamil Nadu dropped  Murli Vijay for good and Vijay Shankar is already there in the squad.

LOL.. Natarajan is not taking any rest. The last time I heard, he was busy visiting all the temples in Tamil Nadu and doing strange rituals. He just posted this:

I am from Singapore and around 6%-7% of the population is made up of Tamils. But never noticed anyone shaving their head. So what is the reason? Is it mandatory to shave your head after something big happens in your life?

BTW, good to hear that Vijay Shankar is in the TN squad. India is facing a shortage of pace-bowling all rounders and if this guy performs well, then he may be considered by the selectors.
