T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

An easy win for New Zealand and they played so well specially in batting side. After losing 2 wickets early in the match, they came back strongly and had managed to win by 8 wickets and 6 overs in hand. In every match they are performing good whatever it balling side or batting side.

Newzealand were not playing against a big team. They were playing against Netherlands whom you do not see playing quiet often bilateral or trilateral series. They are still working on in building cricket in their country. Netherlands are know more for their soccer than cricket. It was expected they will lose their match against the Newzealand side.

Netherlands had a good squad around 10-20 years back. During the 2003 ODI world cup, they managed to bowl out India for a total of just 204 runs. They still lost the match by 68 runs. Back then they had some very good players such as Ryan ten Doeschate, Tim de Leede, Feiko Kloppenburg, Edgar Schiferli and Roland Lefebvre. But now their squad is mostly comprised of inexperienced youngsters. Some of them, such as Bas de Leede have performed quite well recently. But overall their standards have gone down.

Netherland : New Zealand

New Zealand set a target of 149 runs in the first match. Today's Netherlands managed to set a target of 148 runs. In the previous match we have seen that the pitch is helpful to the bowling. And it is very difficult for the batsmen to score runs. So New Zealand won't win easily today. But if the opening pair can play well then there will be no problem for New Zealand to win the match.

It can be said that New Zealand won the match without any difficulty. Netherlands set a target of 147 runs there Bas de Leede scored 53 runs off 48 balls which is not suitable in the T20 format. As a result their collection was very small. New Zealand managed to win that match by fourteen overs.

South Africa vs Ireland, I had big expectation from Ireland and things didn't work. Ireland could've opted to bat first after winning the toss. The target of 182 from South Africa is good enough to win, and Parnell made a good bowling taking 5 wickets. 7 balls left and Ireland have scored 138 runs. Maybe it could've atleast reached close around 160 runs.

India VS Westindies
The fourth T20 match between these two teams will be played today. India already leading the series by winning 2 matches. If they win today's match then they will win the series. No doubt Indian has been batting brilliantly and are also getting the support of their bowlers. Westindies are still struggling on both ends. In my opinion to make this series intresting & engaging I hope Westindies win today's match.

A win from West Indies could make the upcoming matches so interesting, but the chances were low. I'm sure India will win the match, and the fourth match will be a winning match for West Indies, because they'll give their natural game. As the match isn't a decider anymore they'll play free and make great shots. Always West Indies wins when they play without thinking about win/loss.

New Zealand just crushed Netherlands in the last and the final T20 match. They chased 147 runs in just 14 overs. Thanks to captain Mitchell Santner who made 77 not out in just 42 balls. It was an easy and comfortable and much expected win for New Zealand team.
On the other hand, Netherlands did show some fight in the first T20 match but were looking completely helpless in this last T20 match. Obviously we can't compare the two teams in terms of experience.

New Zealand's batsmen are quite experienced. The bowlers should have improved their performance if they wanted to win against them. But they could not bowl as well as in the first match. As a result, the Netherlands was defeated. I didn't think the Netherlands would win. But I thought the match would be a bit more competitive. But we saw a completely one-sided match.

Maybe it could've atleast reached close around 160 runs.

The problem with the Irish side is that they are very inconsistent. Sometimes they show a good chasing power and sometimes they perform like this. 182 is still a big score for Ireland and I am not expecting them to win soon. The good part is that they are gaining a lot of experience after playing with big teams like South Africa.

If he keeps getting out cheaply then there may be some chance, having said that every team need at least 1 accumulator in the team and Virat is experienced candidate in this regard. Management also believe that they can build team around him, like keeping guys like SKY, Hardik, DK, Jadeja etc as they all are power hitters.

Chahal is front runner for Leggie spot and 99% chances are that he's going to play. Kuldeep was struggling with his form but he looks okay now, although i think he got injured recently that's why he didn't get any chance in recent series. Another exciting guy is Ravi Bishnoi but again hard to fit everyone

I don’t think building a team around Virat Kohli is going to be the most effective idea right now. He himself is not doing very well. And it is quite possible that he also fails in the T20 World Cup.

If anything, I think Virat Kohli should be in the team as an option who can be changed anytime.

I believe there was a statistic showing that whenever Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav played together in the Indian team, India did not have a high win percentage. But on the other hand, when Chahal was the only leg spinner in the team forming a partnership with another bowler like Ravindra Jadeja, India had more success.

May be you are right but right now management clearly not taking this line very seriously and they are more or less showing faith in Virat, it reflects in all media briefing.

At one time Chahal and Kuldeep were extremely successful together, they got their name "Kul-Cha" due to this. Indian bilateral record is very good, doesn't matter which combination they use but in ICC tournament almost every combination failed repeatedly.

Also after 2019 WC mindset has changed in white ball cricket. Almost all teams changed their tactics and started playing attacking cricket by batting deep. Atm no team can afford to play with big tail (4 number 11 batsmen), that's where likes of Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Axar Patel etc comes in.

Well, West Indies have one won one match in the series, so why can't they win another one ? I know that chances for this to happen are slim but anything may happen on a given day. Also, if West Indies win this match it will square up the series to 2-2 and the audience will have the interest to watch the final match. ICC also want the advertisers remain interested, don't they 
Also, this is a big match for the west indies as it is being played at their home ground. They will never want to lose the series today in front of their own crowd.

I don't see any reason to think the West Indies team is weak. At least the West Indies team cannot be called weak in the T20 format. They have several hard-hitting batsmen in their squad. They can change the scenario of the match at any time. India is doing well in this series as their bowlers are in great form. But it cannot be said with certainty that the bowlers will perform well in every match. There is nothing surprising if West Indies wins today's match.

West Indies always masters the T20 matches, but it has got the highest percentage of inconsistency in performance. It could chase a target of 200+ runs in a much easier way, and the following match it ends up its innings in less than 100 runs. The bowling is quite good, and now India have got the team in which if the bowlers weren't performing the batsmen takes responsibility and tries to make big scores. Some form of compensative game is being played and it is good.

A big day for India, as the India women's team reaching the finals on the commonwealth games T20 cricket winning the semi finals against England women's in a thrilling way by 4 runs. India managed to score 164 runs losing 5 wickets, with Mandhana scoring the fastest fifty contributing 61 runs. England batting second was able to reach 160 runs losing 6 wickets in 20 overs.

West Indies has some really good big hits in power. And that is why they are always better in the T20 format. But that is also going to mean that they are not going to be consistent. Because they are always relying on their power and not a class. They can win matches with power against weaker opponents but they are not going to be able to win against good opponents with only power hitting. Because the good teams will figure out a way to counter that.

I think team India Women would have been considered as underdogs for the match as they are playing against a very experienced as well as the host nation in England. Good death over bowling by the Indian women to contain England to a defend-able total. Deepti Sharma just gave 18 runs in 4 overs while taking a wicket was also the key along with Mandhana's pivotal knock. Now India waits to find out who will join them in the finals with Australia vs New Zealand up next. Australia are the favs for the tournament and are likely going to win the match as well.

I loved it, at start of England's inning i was afraid that our bowlers are going to choke it like they always do in the Semis and Finals but our offies kept their cool throughout the match.

Mithali Raj is legend but she did a big favour on Indian cricket by retiring  She used to bat way too slow every single time but now this young team knows how to shift gears at right time.

Anyway finals is not going to be easy if we are up against Aussie, they are ruthless team.

New Zealand and Australia, both are going to be tough for India in the finals. India Womens team played against New Zealand Women's last February and it was won by New Zealand. With Australia Womens the game was almost ten months back and the match was won by Australia Womens.

[Sithara007]

The CWG semi-finals between Australia and New Zealand is going to be interesting. In the first semi-finals, England were the favorites and still India managed to win. Australia is the strongest team in women's cricket right now, and it is going to be a very tough task for the New Zealand women to defeat them. Anyway, the final is going to be captivating, irrespective of which among these two actually manages to qualify. Indian women desperately want a gold medal, which will accelerate the plans for WIPL.

i agree with you Australia women's are still Strong for Cricket in the CWG semi-finals between Australia and New Zealand i think Australia will play better then New Zealand and Australia have much possibility to win on CWG semi-finals

India is in good position scoring 107 runs in 11 overs. From the beginning every player have made 20+ runs. On the crease, Rishabh Pant and Hooda are in good form scoring 25 and 21 runs. If India is able to maintain this run rate surely the score will reach atleast 220 runs. Rohit Sharma and Surya Kumar have given good start to the match.
