T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[UmerIdrees]

I would like to congratulate the PAK team for playing brilliantly in the SA series. They surely have potential and Babar Azam is the star of the PAK team, very impressive batting. I expected them to win all 4 T20 matches but it is okay they should easily win all the matches in the forthcoming series with Zimbabwe.

I don't think Pakistan played brilliantly but still they managed to win the series. Pakistan needs to play better if they want to beat more stronger teams like Australia or India. Anyways lets see how will they perform against Zimbabwe in few days.

Pakistan have won three matches batting second, and South Africa have won the single match batting second. Babar Azam had emerged good throughout the series, and particularly on the last two T20s. There is brilliant cricketing in my view, because the home ground advantage is for South Africa. Pakistan have overcome and had recorded the win.

Funny match, 
Mumbai Indians lost 3 wickets in 15 overs and scored 101 runs. Now there are Kishan and Pollard at the crease. I guess Mumbai will be able to collect more than 150 runs. Mumbai's squad has experienced bowlers like Bumrah and Boult. They will be able to win only if they collect more than 150.

Finally, MI manage to score 150 as two big six coming from Pollard bats. Pollar should come to bat at early, he is such a big hitter. 150 a fighting total, MI has experienced bowling line-up, hopefully they can survive at this time. Let's see if SRH find it difficult to cross the line.

This Match looks different from the previous match of Mumbai Indians. In the previous match Mumbai Indians defend Kolkata Knight Riders and the entire mistake was with Kolkata Knight Riders failing to score 152 even after making a good start. In this match Sunrisers Hyderabad have made a good start and there is more chance of consistent game from SRH players.

Big challenge for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians is the favorite and will probably win the match.

I don't believe it as Bairstow and Warner are giving a great tackle to Mumbai Indians' attacking field and hitting enough great shots to create a score which will help their team later even if they become "Out" and SRH needs just 94 runs off 83 balls. Let's watch and enjoy the game. So, strategic timeout's over as I'm writing this.

Second wicket also gone now, spin bowling is working for MI now but two straight wickets from spinners still MI chooses Pollard for the next over.SRH just needs 79 from 63 balls so all they need to do is to play according to the required run rate so few big shots in the death overs can win this match for them.

For MI to win, they'll need to do extremely tight fielding but when Warner is still on the crease, I don't think it's going to be any easy for MI to handle him and there are still more batsmen available in SRH who can help chase the score quite easy. The run-ball difference is not that big and I think SRH will easily win this game today.

The easy winning is getting hard with the fall of top order wickets. The unwanted run out of Warner can serve as a turning in the match. Though the required run rate is quite low, wicket fall has begun. In terms of scoring both Mumbai Indians and Sun Risers Hyderabad are almost same at the moment. The match pattern looks same as the previous match MI vs SRH.

Exactly the same I was going to say. Warner's run-out is total bullshit as there was literally no need for that run while the ball didn't get hit too hard by the batsmen. Now the run-rate on the batting side is slowed down by bowlers and now it's not going to be so easy as I was iterating before.

Mumbai Indians have the best bowling combinations in Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult and they can defend any totals, i was expecting SRH to win the match at one point as they had the wickets but then Mumbai Indians were able to pick the rest of the wickets in quick succession which shows the experience in the bowlers who are confident to win the matches from any situation.

There is brilliant cricketing in my view, because the home ground advantage is for South Africa. Pakistan have overcome and had recorded the win.

If you analyze the matches, you will see that it was the captain Babar Azam captain innings twice which make them won almost two matches. The batting line up for the Pakistani team need considerable improvement. Also consider the fact the few South Africa team members left for IPL and they were not playing with their full strength.

Ok man I understand. I just had a overview and mentioned it. As the first and third match were good chase I made the statement of Pakistan being strong. As the full strength of South Africa isn't available, this isn't a big win. Thats clear, Babar Azam had led the match to win in two matches. There is no combined progress in Pakistan team.

Once again the match turned to another side after 16th over especially all the matches in Chennai be like that. Tomorrow we have doubleheader at Chennai and Mumbai so perfect treat for Sunday but everyday is Holiday anyway.

SRH should bring someone in their middle order to bat for long time, what is the status of Kane Williamson, is there any chance that he will join?

Loss of SRH could clearly be seen after they were losing wickets one after another, but all out? It was completely unexpected on their side considering Bhuvaneshwar Kumar who always gave surprises but today it was a shocking one. Yeah, everyday is a holiday though and tomorrow will be huge as for the 2 treats we'll be getting.

SRH should bring someone in their middle order to bat for long time, ...

Lol, middle order? After watching today's match, I believe there are just 2 IPL level batsmen in SRH team, and they are Warner and Bairstow only. None of those other players are worth it.

After successful completion of the South Africa series, Pakistan team will be headed to Zimbabwe to play 3 t20 and 2 tests matches.
Complete schedule below :-

Yes, the Pakistan team had a great tour of SA and lets now hope they can continue on with the winning form as they should against Zimbabwe but in the past we have seen the Pakistan team come off a good series win to then play poorly in the next series. Zimbabwe shouldn't really be a challenge for Pakistan but that's as long as Pakistan continue to play well and not drop off thinking that Zimbabwe will be a walk over.

I don't understand the point in allowing Zimbabwe to play test matches against stronger teams. If the PCB want to help the Zimbabweans, then they should have limited the number of matches to just one. There are other deserving teams out there. Afghanistan and Ireland have hardly played any test matches after they received the test status. Then why this largesse towards Zimbabwe? And from what I have seen, their quality has deteriorated further and they have no chance against teams such as Pakistan.

Yes mate the SRH did the same mistake has done last match, I thought SRH will going to finish the match within 16 or 17 over because they got very well start from the openers, were left need only 66 in the last nine over with 8 wickets in hand but I not believe how can they loss the Match.

What is happening with RCB they lost two quick wickets? As usual, the Indian captain Kohli has consistently proved he cannot bat in IPL. That was a very lame shot to lose his wicket. I am getting a feeling that this match would be won by KKR by the way RCB is batting now. If Maxwell goes on for a rampage then it will be a different story.

Forget Kohli and look at Maxwell, he's going mental. Punjab and Pretty Zinta must be looking at him and cursing real bad. He didn't hit a single six or fifty for them in the last 2-3 years and after leaving the franchise he's hitting 6s and 50s in almost every game.

That's true. When RCB went for Maxwell after spending such a big amount in the auctions, I was really surprised. But in the end, that money can be described as well spent. That said, it was de Villiers who went mental in the end. He scored 76 from just 34 balls (Maxwell got his 78 from 49 balls). I was expecting 170-180, and the Royal Challengers Bangalore ended up with a total of 204. The last 5 overs went for 70 runs.
