T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[ene1980]

How small and fast was the ground? literally any ball could be hit for six irrespective of where it hits the bat. Unlucky for Stoinis for edging it straight up. If it hit anywhere else, it could have been a 6 for sure. Some amazing and clean looking straight drives from Martin Guptil. Entertaining watch for the spectators but it doesn't seem fair for the bowlers to be honest.

One of the smallest ground and anyone struggling with form should play in this ground. Martin Guptil was struggling and he was able to return to form and the mishits were going for six and the only way you get dismissed is if you sky the ball  . This is the first time i am seeing James Neesham is T20 mode scoring 6 in the first three balls he faced and his contribution help New Zealand win the match.

I missed the match but just managed to watch the highlights. How small and fast was the ground? literally any ball could be hit for six irrespective of where it hits the bat.

Me too watched the highlights on YouTube and I don't think that the boundaries were that small. However, the track was offering a lot of bounce and that's why some of the top edges ended up as sixes. Guptil and Stoinis were just amazing, but unfortunately one of them ended up on the losing side. Anyway, the margin isn't going to matter and New Zealand is up by 2-0 in the series so far. Three matches remain in this series and I would say that it is still possible for Australia to make a come back.

Already the England are down 2 wickets , I thought there is another twist in the match but so far looks like the spinners are dominating and India might win this one.

Teams are struggling to score big totals so far in the PSL. Peshawar Zalmi could only make 140 earlier today, and now the Sultans ended up at 150/8 (despite 71 from Mohammad Rizwan). And in reply, Islamabad seems to be in some sort of trouble. They have lost two important wickets before the first power play ends (Phil Salt and Shadab Khan). Right now it is like 50/50.

Yes, in the first few matches in PSL teams were unable to make big score but in last few matches, teams are unable to defend big scores  
Look like the team batting second will chase the target no matter how big the target is.

A similar pattern was observed during IPL 2020 as well. During the first 2-3 matches, the teams struggled to make a total of 150-160. First big total came in the fourth match. I guess the players need some time to get adjusted to the pitch conditions and weather.

I was looking forward to watch Paul Stirling playing for Islamabad United. But it looks as if he is unable to find a slot in the playing XI. Actually he is a very good T20 player, capable of scoring at a strike rate of 180-200. If he gets a chance to play for the franchise then he will be able to make some good scores.

- 5 cities shortlisted for the 2021 IPL. Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata and Ahmedabad.
- Mumbai is another candidate but let's hope that they reject this idea, right now covid is big problem for Mumbai.
- No more empty stands.

Would there be full capacity crowd allowed in this year IPL or will there be 50% or less people will be allowed to enter the stadium compared to the total capacity of the stadium ? Covid not over yet so caution must be taken but it will be good to see crowd in the stadium. Without crowd, the T-20 matches seems boring.

Most chances they will go with 25% to 50% because right now no one want to go with any trouble currently PSL is doing good with just 20% and they are going to increase 50% in coming days so here in IPL 50% should be also very good for them as this give some good relief to all .

Yes, anything between 30-60% is a good crowd but in psl they are playing at only 2 cities while ipl will be played in about 5 cities and more travelling means more chances of exposure to the potential virus.

New Zealand are in a strong position to win the T20 series against Australia however I think Australia can take some confidence out of the last match even though they lost by 4 runs. It was a much better performance by Australia, that vital wicket of Stoinis in the last over is what got New Zealand over the line. Maybe a change is needed for Australia at the top as Finch has not been in good form for a while now, he will need to play a lot better or he risks losing his spot in the team even if he is the captain.

They are ahead by 2-0 and are having the home advantage. But I need to caution them against complacency. Last match was very close, and New Zealand scraped through just by 4 runs. But the good thing for New Zealand is that the Australian bowlers are yet to find good line and length and they are struggling to adjust to smaller boundaries and ground conditions. Wednesday's match can be a decider.

After the first few days of PSL, i am sharing the points table here. Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi (the three big cities) seems to be strong in this year PSL.

[Sithara007]

^^^ Watched the Quetta Gladiators vs Peshawar Zalmi match yesterday, which was a high scoring one. Zalmi successfully chased the target of 199 set by the Gladiators. Turning point was the 19th over which was bowled by Dale Steyn, in which he conceded 21 runs including three sixes. The match was essentially over after Steyn's spell. Feels bad for him, as I regard him as one of the best test bowlers of 21st century. But unfortunately, T20 cricket never worked for him. Perhaps he needs to take a break from T20 and concentrate more on test cricket.

I do not think the virus is an issue for IPL players anymore as India has successfully created the vaccine and I am sure players have already got their doze. More venue means more revenue and after the pandemic BCCI does need revenue plus fans also want their teams to play in the home ground.

[JSRAW]

^^ It seems so but Mumbai and Kerala are still in bad shape. Not in favor of hosting any game in Mumbai at all, unless its empty stadium. BCCI do have handful of stadiums where they can host games with full capacity, Dharamshala is one of them. 

Playoff and final would be good, hope semis and final gets full house in the Motera stadium, Ahmedabad.

Are you sure about this ?  I never heard of India making the vaccine for covid-19. In our country, we are looking to import if from china or some other country. India is the number 2 country after the united states which had the most covid-19 cases. The risk of covid-19 still exists.

Covid-19 vaccine is being exported to 14 countries at present. It is planned to export to more than 40 countries as the demand for covid-19 vaccine keeps increasing. In the battle of vaccine supply India has defeated China through its supply to the world. The risk of covid-19 still exists and there are cases reported with covid-19 virus attack even after vaccination.

-Covishield (Oxford-AstraZeneca) manufactured by Serum Institute of India.
-Covaxin locally made vaccine by pharma company Bharat Biotech
https://vaccine.icmr.org.in/covid-19-vaccine

India is called pharmacy of the world and she was already manufacturing 60% of world vaccines alone before the covid . So its not a surprise that India already exported millions of free of cost-Grant based doses to many countries and still counting. Pakistan is getting some Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines soon under the WHO initiative "Covax". (AstraZeneca and India are partners on manufacturing drive).

Although vaccine jab going very slowly in India due to red tape, so far they only able to jab small amount of people (majority front line workers etc) approx 10-11 millions but i'm sure once private sector gets in the game then 200-300 million would get jab with in 2 months easily.

Risk does exits but details matters, majority of India heading toward normalcy. Covid variants could be dangerous but so far its looking okay. Majority of cases are from Mumbai and Kerala.

Lol! You did not know about Indian pharmacy. Another thing Indian is the second most populated country in the world and still the fatality rates in India is far much lesser than USA. Above all India is still number two in that list and do also check the recovery rate.

So what is the final situation, is everyone getting vaccinated and whether they will allow audience in the stadium anytime soon. It is impossible to vaccinate a billion population in a short period of time but still if they allow people that are vaccinated to come to the stadium then it will be great as it is getting boring to watch the matches in empty stadiums.
