T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Rigon]

Time has come to drop Hardik Pandya. In the ODI series, he managed to score just 19 runs, and picked up just two wickets in two matches.

Agreed. He has been out of form for quite sometime now. He should be given more chances in the future though since he is a high quality finisher and picks up wickets now and then.

But second t20 match which country would be winner please mention your comments.

I would be shocked if Sri Lanka actually manage to win the 2nd T-20 since some of the Indian batsmen actually under-performed in the 1st one. I don't think that will repeat in the 2nd one.

Sri Lanka threw away golden opportunities in both the ODI and T-20 series basically so far.

Actually India lost third odi match because Indian team given five batsman opportunity as a fresh batsman. If indian team management can't change their squad , they have to lost their match.

In 27 July Australia and west indies third odi match with huge amounts of excitement but which country would win the match. Please comment with details.

Ohh my god , West indies already all wicket lost collecting only a few amounts of run 152 which a easy collection for Australian Team. I hope Australia will win the match.

I don't think 130 runs is enough to win a T20 match. Because collecting 130 runs from 120 balls is not a difficult task. If the wicket is not taken very fast then any team can collect 120-130 runs from 120 balls. In today's match too, the Netherlands collected only 22 runs in the first 6.3 overs. They managed to score 137 runs in 20 overs.

Ireland squad comprised of several experienced players, while the Netherlands sent a very young squad to Malahide. Also, their recent elevation as a test nation has secured more funding from the ICC, and that is being reflected in the women's game. Netherlands did OK with batting, but their bowling was poor. Apart from Frederique Overdijk and Eva Lynch, all the other bowlers leaked 8-9 runs per over. A decade or so ago, Netherlands was regarded as the strongest women's team among the NED-IRE-SCO. But the situation seems to be changing now.

Looking at this match, it seems that the Netherlands team lacks experienced players. Although I don’t know if they have experienced players in their team, because I don’t have much idea about women’s cricket players. If the Dutch bowlers could have held Ireland to 145, they would have had a chance to win. Moreover, the Netherlands batted very slowly in the first 6/7 overs. The run rate in power play should have been at least 6+.

Both these teams have good grassroots strength in women's cricket. Two decades ago, when the ICC first launched the ODI Women's world cup, these two teams used to take part. But then the ICC became more exclusionary and limited the tournament to 8 teams. Even now, the club system is quite strong in these two countries (along with Scotland). But the issue is that cricket in both Ireland and Netherlands is over-dependent on a few sporting families. The growth outside these families have stagnated during the last two decades.

Women's cricket may not be popular in Ireland and the Netherlands. People may not be very interested in women's cricket. Australian teams reign in women's cricket. All other teams, such as England, India, South Africa, are far behind from Australia. Boards need to be more focused on improving women's cricket.

I didn't claimed that the overall popularity of cricket is very good in Ireland and Netherlands. But they have a number of clubs which have been active for many decades, and the women players in these two countries play a lot of club games. Now compare the situation in Pakistan or India, where the women's game at club level is almost nonexistent. In India, most of the women's cricket (apart from state-level games) take place at college-level and school-level. And in Pakistan even that is not there.

The second T20 match between India and Srilanka will be played today. Indian bowlers did a fantastic job in the last match otherwise Srilanka would have won the match. Except for Yadav and Dhawan, all other batsmen failed to score in the last match. I am expecting other batsmen to contribute today. For the Srilankan team, it’s a must-win match.

For the younger Indian players, this is a rare opportunity to get the attention from the selectors ahead of the world cup. I hope they will make the maximum use out of it. Some of the players in Sri Lanka were transferred to England, and therefore it is likely that a few of the players will make their debut today. Sri Lankan morale would be good, after their win in the third ODI. Also, the focus will be on Rahul Dravid on how he manages the Indian team, as there are rumors that he is being considered for the coaching role.

The match has been postponed by a day, because one of Indian player (Krunal Pandya) has tested positive for COVID-19. Few other Indian players will go through isolation who was in close contacts with him. Krunal Pandya had played the first T20 match. So most of the players was in touched with him. In my opinion, they should postponed this series now. There will be significant change in Indian squad if the match take place tomorrow.

Once again the question arises. How can someone get infected inside the bio-bubble? Lack of discipline seems to be a serious issue with the Asian teams. Recently we saw the example of Rishabh Pant, who went for the wimbledon match without wearing a mask. These guys think that they are super-human. But unfortunately the Corona virus doesn't know that they are so powerful. Those who breached the quarantine and bubble rules should be dealt with by the BCCI and they should take stern action to prevent the repetition of such incidents in the future.

These idiots are the reason why the virus is spreading like crazy and causing destruction around the world. Apparently, it's more important for them to look good in photos in a crowded area when compared to following all safety protocols effectively.

I am pretty sure that the BCCI will just ignore all of these mistakes since they are star players and they cannot afford to screw them over.

Pandya brothers love mingling to find a suitable host. Haardik pandya has already confessed on national television. Kunal was doing the same and got infected. I cannot prove it, just speculating.

Whatever may be the reason but BCCI needs to investigate and punish those responsible. It seems some players are least bothered about the bio bubble and the virus. BTW, I asume all players were vaccinated before this series was decided. I assume because all of them represent indian and belong to the elite class.

Krunal got infected and no one else in the bio-bubble has tested positive for COVID. So it is clear what happened there. Since they got vaccinated (probably ahead of their rightful turn), these guys got overconfident. But they forgot the fact that even the best vaccines are only around 95% effective. And in case of Covishield, the efficacy is only around 70%. Being vaccinated doesn't mean that they can just roam around without any protection. I am curious about the actions that BCCI is about to take.

Players and the people of Managmonet who have broken the rules of Bio Bubble and have not complied with the rules of hygiene still need to be punished severely. Boards spend a lot of extra money to ensure players' bio bubbles. Even then, if the players do not follow the rules, it is really frustrating.

If players from Australia, New Zealand and England can obey the bio-bubble rules, then I don't understand why the Asian teams have an issue with that. The IPL had to be stopped mid-way, because there was a bio-bubble breach involving Varun Chakravarthy. Before that, the PSL had to be stopped, when some of the players and franchise owners breached the bubble and infected those inside. And in December 2020, the Pakistan team was threatened with expulsion, after they breached the bubble in New Zealand. Is it that hard to follow the rules?

It is another unfortunate situation and it is clear that they have breached the bio bubble, we are yet to see any punishment handed out by the BCCI but the Sri Lankan board already punished a few players and so is the reason some of the players are not in the team.

It is hard to follow the rules and you have no idea what people are doing in India, majority are roaming outside without mask and the people i know started partying and the reason they say is they are tired of these restrictions and i am worried that a more serious wave will hit here.

Indian cricket team already affected by coronavirus pandemic and more Than 8 players affected corona. Krunal pandeya, Hardik pandeya, two brothers affected corona.theh both maybe in isolated and completely they don't take participate in second T20 match.
