T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

@Sithara007 normally I would say team that India is superior, but my gut feeling says that Pakistan will beat them again because team India is not as strong as they were in the past. Furthermore it’ll be an epic finale if these two sides can make it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if team India fails to make it and with one eye on the T20 World Cup it’ll interesting to see what team Rohit and India’s coach Dravid selects.

At this point, I would say that both the teams are having almost equal chances. Pakistan has performed well during the last 3-4 months. And India has to deal with the lack of form from Virat Kohli, who used to be their backbone. My gut feeling is the same as yours. I expect that Pakistan is going to win.. Anyway, irrespective of the outcome, we will get a chance to witness battle between some of the greats, such as Babar Azam vs Jasprit Bumrah, and Shaheen Shah Afridi vs Indian top order.

Likewise, I doubt that Pakistan will also be able to make it to the finals. I just feel like there are better T20 teams compared to Pakistan at the moment. But it is very possible for Pakistan to reach the semifinals.

But if Pakistan wants to win, they will have to perform well as a team. Only Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi's performances will not be enough for Pakistan.

India will be missing Virat Kohli who is a stellar performer and also a big-time match winner for India. I believe Hardik Pandya is going to perform really well for India in this T20 World Cup.

I don't see any possibility of Pakistan winning with India. Although Virat Kohli cannot play for India now.  Still India have many better players who can win India in T20 teams. But for Pakistan haven’t much better players like india. so i support India can win in T20 teams

South Africa VS Ireland

The first T20 match between Ireland and South Africa is being played in Bristol. Ireland's performance against New Zealand impressed everyone. Ireland's bowling is weak but they have some excellent batsmen in their squad. And so if South Africa wants to win, they have to give a target of more than 180. South Africa has collected 142 runs in 14 overs. My guess is that South Africa will be able to deliver a target like 210.

Bangladeshi players have poor mentality and they play by being nervous in T20 matches. They score slowly when the target is a bit low. But they can't hit boundaries when the required run rate increase a lot. Bangladeshi batting lineup collapsed when they try to hit boundaries. There is no power hitter batsman in Bangladesh team. BCB is giving opportunities to many new players who performed well in BPL. But those players have failed to perform in the same way in T20 international matches.

The Bangladesh “Khalid Mahmood Sujon has also talked a lot of shit about this loss of Bangladesh against Zimbabwe. I really find everything you said to be very true. We all know that the Bangladesh team does not have very big hitters in the team. But Bangladesh player does have the physical strength to at least clear the boundary of the Harare sports club. It is a problem if they don’t even try to hit a big shot.
See Khalid Mahmood's shit talk: https://www.thedailystar.net/sports/sports-special/bangladeshs-tour-zimbabwe-2022/news/no-one-even-tried-hit-six-3087006

A few BCB selectors have completely lost their minds. It's as if they have no idea what they want to do! Many new players are being given opportunities by BCB, but Mahmudullah is selected as captain at the last moment during the rest period. The disrespect of T20I by some players continuously creates a negative impression in their minds which has an impact on their performance in matches. They are looking for T20 players with a clear mind from the under 19s and HP teams. There are problems with Bangladesh's T20 attitude that have to be solved.

I have five names for you. Mashrafe bin Mortaza, Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyadh, Shakib Al Hasan. Without these five players, Bangladesh cannot do anything, to be honest. You know, most of them are not playing in this squad.

Another reason why Bangladesh did not do well is that if we look at how Mahmudullah Riyad played, we will see that he was thinking about getting settled and after that probably will go for a big shot. But he got out trying to get settled. If you cannot go for hitting big shots you will never succeed.

Your prediction almost came true. South Africa managed to collect 211 runs. Despite Ireland having a strong batting line-up, though it is almost certain that South Africa will win against Ireland. But if Ireland doesn't lose wickets too quickly I think they will score 170-180 runs. But Ireland has not yet achieved the ability to bat for the target of 212 runs. Their players are not experienced.

No Doubt that South Africa is much more Powerful in comparison to the Ireland. That showed up in the first 14 overs as you said. But i saw many Downfalls in the Bowling side of the Ireland as well in the South Afeica. Most prominent Dominance was the total as in T20 if you had prominent Total Score Dominance then thats 50% that you own the match.

The performance of Ireland's batsmen surprised me again today. Ireland's collection of 141 runs in 14 overs. They lost 5 wickets. But Tucker and Dockrell at the crease are batting brilliantly. Dockrell scored 36 off 19 balls and Tucker scored 58 off 27 balls. If the South African bowlers fail to break this pair, they have a tendency to lose this match. Ireland needs 71 runs from 36 balls.

Except these five players of Bangladesh team, there is no good player of Bangladesh to win the match.Tamim Iqbal Mahmudullah Riyad Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mashrafe Bin Mortaza led the team but at a very good cost.But then the team had a different reputation. The present does not have the same performance and reputation as it used to.Yes, it is true that currently Mahmudullah Riyad has not been able to perform very well.Mahmudullah Riyad is performing very badly and must improve his performance.

India VS West Indies

India made a comfortable win with the batting from Surya Kumar at the right time. Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion getting hurt, and this gave a thought of India struggling with the start. Further Shreyas, Surya Kumar, Rishabh Pant made a good contribution and made the team win the match at the 19th over losing 3 wickets. This have made India lead the series 2-1

There's some reason for why Ireland have become one of my favorite teams. They're played well and due to their daring gameplay South Africa faced struggle to win. Ireland might lose, however I can promise you that they will advance a perfect execution. To be sure, what a match! South Africa showed their bowling class when it made the biggest difference.

Not only against South Africa, with each and every cricket team Ireland have given the best and have made them opposition fight hard to mark their winning. Ireland needs more matches and surely this is going to be among the big team list. In the match against South Africa, it is the bowlers who turned the match. Better than this was the match against India where the entire team somehow managed to win by 4 runs in which India have scored 225 runs.

After Kyle Mayers dismissal WI was struggling to get runs. If he had been there then they would have quickly passed 200 runs mark. 164 runs is not at all a competitive score considering the kind of batting depth that India has in this tournament. Surya Kumar Yadav's contribution led to this win. Another win by the Indian side and they will win this series.

[Sithara007]

In the end, Ireland lost the match once again. We can claim that they gave a good fight to the Proteas, but I don't think that it is enough. The fact is that they have failed to win a single match against any of the test nations, ever since their tour of West Indies. And also, yesterday their top and middle order collapsed completely. Only the partnership between Lorcan Tucker and George Dockrell saved them from complete humiliation. And all this against a South African side that was missing key players such as Nortje and Rabada.

If the performance of the bowlers is not more stable, Ireland will not be able to defeat any strong team. As much as Ireland's batting thrills the crowd, we are equally disappointed by their bowling. Bowlers need to be more diligent. Also, I think they need an experienced bowling coach. If the Ireland board can take the necessary steps now to strengthen the team, Ireland will be able to challenge any strong team in the T20 format within the next few years.

Despite being given a huge target of 212 runs against the likes of Ireland, South Africa was struggling to win. It's really amazing. South African bowlers are not inexperienced. However, they did not fare well against Ireland's batsmen. If Ireland's Tector or Stirling could have played well then Ireland would have been able to win this match.

[GigaBit]

India will be missing Virat Kohli who is a stellar performer and also a big-time match winner for India. I believe Hardik Pandya is going to perform really well for India in this T20 World Cup.

India can give Virat Kohli another chance. Because everyone knows about his performance. India have 3-match T20 series with Australia next September and that month, at the end of September one another series with South Africa. India still have some series before starting T20 world cup. if they can give chance to Kohli, that can be good impact on him as well as indian cricket.

In last few matches Ireland's performance is amazing as they are losing matches against quality teams narrowly which is good job as they are having some good quality players, but sadly there are lakes in experience which is the biggest problem, and they need good finisher which is also a problem for them in last few matches.

They are giving too many runs in every match and their batsmen not going good in chase which is problem they have few quality batsmen but still need experience, and they are also having some issues in bowling which is currently their weakest department with fielding also need some good work.

If they want to stay in at good position for long in these two formats ODI and T20 because these both can give them good chance for having better structure in cricket test is a long way for them right now.

Overall they are a weak team and therefore after coming closer to a win they are still losing. Lack of experience is according to me the primary reason. They also have a weak bowling lineup and they need to work on that part. I am happy that they are now getting to play with so many big teams. This will surely help them in getting the required experience but will also help their bowlers to understand what they have been doing wrong.

Ireland are a relatively weak team, more importantly they are very inexperienced. They may be collecting good tottal. But they don't know how to bat to win against big target. Experience is definitely needed to win against strong teams. They are losing every match by a few runs margin because of the inexperience of the players. They will gradually become experienced. Maybe we will see a stronger performance from Ireland in the next 2 years.
