T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[topman21]

India had a good start and the same is being carried till the end. Based on the scoring at the starting overs I expected the target to be 200+ runs. In between the scoring got disturbed and finally with the trashing performance of Dinesh Karthik India was able to reach 190 runs. Today I believed that West Indies will make a big chase, because it is the team that performs unexpectedly. But they weren't able to make it, started to lose wickets from the beginning itself.

We all believe that West Indies is a very perfect team to play T20But they don't understand how to deal with India.They could not win the target of 190 runs in yesterday's match. 190 runs is not much but they lost many wickets early on.And especially West Indies are performing very badly lately which no one can accept.But I think it will be very difficult for them to move forward with such a game.West Indies still have many gaps in their team to fill them and move forward.

Yes, but it keeps failing the expectation of its followers. West Indies had a good T20 team, and the expectation is high after its T20 World Cup win which none expected. West Indies have got able players, but if one player isn't able to make it then the rest fails. I don't know whether it is lack of experience or there is any misunderstanding between the players. The board need to make quick changes as ICC T20 is fast approaching.

Overall, it was disappointing from West Indies. But at the same time, they were without their best players such as Pollard, Russell and Lewis. Jason Holder, Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer were present in the squad, but they couldn't do what guys like Pollard and Russell do - to win matches. And also, India was playing without some of their star performers. So this excuse is not a very valid one. West Indian bowling was disappointing. During the last 4 overs, they conceded a massive 52 runs, with Dinesh Karthik smashing the bowlers all around the park.

I could never have imagined that there would be so much disappointment and failure among the West Indies.West Indies can perform very well in T20 series but they are not doing well lately.We saw them getting whitewashed in the ODIs against India as well.Again in the T20 fast match they lost by a huge margin.Yes we think their preparation for World Cup like this would not be acceptable at all.They have to come to the field with a tougher performance, otherwise they will not be able to survive the World Cup.

West Indian cricket is now on ventilator and most chances soon we will have this team only on papers or in history books because poor management and politics give them the worst time which is going on with their team is losing all format games badly without any serious resistance against teams like Bangladesh is surely disaster for them.

They completely fail to adopt things which are important for having strong structure and good academies which bring quality players after retiring most of the players are shifting to the USA or living outside this West Indies which is never been helping them for having better future of this game. In today game they were completely outclass by Indian youths, and they have no reply in batting and bowling for staying in good position.

Their big hitters Pollard and Russell will join the squad in the t-20 WC and start belting opposition again.

Have to say i'm loving the new approach of Indian team in the limited overs. Nowadays they hardly depends on single player and playing attacking cricket when batting, which is critical in T-20. They will look like dummy and bad sometimes but in a longer run it's good tactic.

Regarding Windies last 4 overs. They had to keep 5 players (20th over) in the circle due to their slow over rate, guess new rule of ICC and It helped Karthik.

India once again proved that they are very strong in T20. Many of us backed West Indies to do well against India in T20Is But by understanding today's match, we could see that West Indies played very badly in T20 against India.Actually India is very strong in T20 and ODI.Today, India lost six wickets and collected 190 runs in 20 overs.West Indies lost 8 wickets by scoring 122 runs in 20 overs.Here India won today's first T20 match by 68 runs.

West Indies' performance has deteriorated. The performance of the West Indies batsmen is now erratic due to the lack of experienced and responsible players in the team. At the same time India's spin bowlers are performing exceptionally well. If the bowlers can continue this performance then India will become a stronger team in the next World Cup. Also we got good performances from Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik. India will only become stronger if Virat Kohli returns to form.

Zimbabwe     vs     Bangladesh

The first of three T20 matches between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will be played today. Bangladesh always performs well against Zimbabwe. So it can be assumed that Bangladesh will win today. However, in the last T20 series, Bangladesh lost 2 matches against West Indies and lost the series. Bangladesh batsmen's performance was very poor. So it is not surprising to see the poor performance of the batsmen against Zimbabwe as well.

Bangladeshi cricketers usually lose their confidence especially in T20 format when they play with big teams as happened against West Indies. But when West Indies play against India, the quality of their game was questioned. Zimbabwe have been beaten most of the time with Bangladesh and I think this also will be happen today but as it is cricket,everything is uncertain.

West Indies were unable to score winning runs against the Indian bowling attack, which led India to win by 68 runs. Having a quality batsman and bowling attack has enriched the Indian team for a while. It is more important to win the ICC Trophy than to win bilateral series. Nevertheless, we can rely on Rohit Sharma to lead this team. As long as he remains fit, he is a captain who can win you an ICC trophy for sure. Kudos to Dinesh Karthik. Keeps a focus and wins matches for the country with an impeccable approach. DK is all business for the T20 World Cup, I can't stop appreciating him.

In an interesting match between Barbados women and Pakistan women,  Barbados won the match by 15 runs that's an upset since Pakistan is permanent playing cricket team. While it's good for team like Barbados, they have the potential to win the game against big teams.

For me it is not much of a surprise. In women's cricket, I don't consider Pakistan as one of the stronger teams. And West Indies do have a decent women's team. Barbados represents West Indies in this tournament and I thought that they had the advantage in this match. Pakistan team do have some super-stars such as Diana Baig and Bismah Maroof, but overall the team is quite weak. In the second match, Australia won against the India women's team and that was also expected. Australia is probably the no.1 team in women's cricket right now.

As Pakistan have a strong men cricket team there is expectation over the Pakistan Women's team. As Barbados team is not much a familiar team, everyone could've thought of Pakistan Women's to win the match. As said Pakistan Women's team is not much a strong team. In the second match India losing to Australia too not a surprise. Even if India have scored 180+ runs, Australia would've chased it.

This is exactly when the men cricket of a country is well established side by side woman cricket also improved. We already seen that in 2016 West Indies men and woman cricket got the T20 world cup together. Pakistan Woman International T20 ranking is seventh in position. So they definitely perform better against Barbados.

I doubt Pakistan has a strong mens cricket team. They are completely dependent on a few players. For example except Babar Azam most of the other batters are not at all reliable. Shaheen Afridi is the only bowler who has been getting wickets in every game he plays also the spinners are ineffective. In my opinion Pakistan is not a strong team in any format. They are know as an inconsistent team.

I was very surprised to see Zimbabwe's batting today. They don't care about Bangladeshi bowlers today. A huge collection of 205 in 20 overs, that too with the loss of just 3 wickets. Sikander Raja's 26-ball 65 was a brilliant inning, and much needed.
However, batting to a target of 206 is difficult to win. But since it is a batting pitch, it is not impossible. Moreover, Bangladesh's performance against Zimbabwe has always been good. I think Bangladesh has still a chance to win.

Did any of you came across the bomb blast into the cricket ground in Afghanistan during an regional T20 league. It is very bad and Afghanistan cricket is truly facing much difficulties. Amidst all this they're slowly making progress and the governments should assure with peaceful living conditions. One of the terrorist organisation have mentioned that they're the one to conduct the bomb blast. During this blast four audience have got injured.

Bangladesh needs 102 runs from 48 balls to win. It is not easy at all. But there are players like Afif and Shanto at the crease. They are good enough players. And Zimbabwe's bowlers are also not very experienced. About 13 runs per over must be collected to win. However, regardless of the outcome of the match, the match is quite enjoyable

Yeah heard about it sad news but didn't surprised me as it's going on for decades now although no one has ever targeted the cricketers before so i am sure it's a handy work of ISKP - affiliate of IS in Afghanistan-

On one hand Talibs are taking hit from resistance every now and then and on the other hand ISKP targeting each n everyone on regular basis, it's a tragedy of Afghanistan.

Zimbabwe scored 91 runs in the last 6 overs. Bangladeshi fast bowlers has given a lot of runs. There wasn't enough experienced batsman in Bangladesh squad. As a result, 206 runs was a huge target for them. Still they managed to score 188 runs. Zimbabwe has won the match by 17 runs. Bangladeshi openers Munim Shahriar doesn't deserve to be in the T20I squad. A strong opening partnership was required to chase this target. But his performance was so bad.

Big day for Zimbabwe to mark its win against Bangladesh in the first T20 match. 200+ runs is really big and the same created the winning momentum. As the required run rate is above 10 runs from the beginning there's pressure even if a single over is missed. Anyhow the upcoming matches will be very interesting, because Bangladesh will fight hard to win the match.
