T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

^^ Although we can't deny that this current Asia cup is a lot tighter when looking at previous editions.

We didn't had many tight fixtures before but now Sri Lanka, Afghanistan are also chipping in and putting up a good show for the spectators

^^^ It should be a cakewalk for India. But it is T20 format, and can be somewhat unpredictable. So far from what I have seen, India and Pakistan are the two strongest teams in the Super-4 and these two teams are most likely to qualify for the final. So we will get another India vs Pakistan match in this tournament. Perhaps this is the first time in the last two decades that we get three consecutive India vs Pakistan matches. Disney-Star will be extremely happy with all the advertisement revenues and increased viewership.

@Sithara007 it’s so clear that this was staged for maximum engagement between India vs Pakistan, and now that both the sides have won one match against each other the finals will become very interesting if both these teams can make it. Lastly while I expect Srilanka to put up some resistance, but I expect them to be defeated in the end because I’m sure that team India would be hurting after losing to Pakistan, and that’s why they’ll perform much better in today’s match.

No other choice is available to India but to win the match against Sri Lanka. It is a match between two friendly cricket nations. I look forward to watching a great match where the team that plays well will win. Sri Lanka has many left-handed players, so Ashwin should be in, but Rohit will have a hard time making a decision.

The Sri Lankan squad is not weak. They have several talented players in their squad. After losing badly against Afghanistan in the first match, Sri Lanka batted very well in the remaining two matches. But in the next match, opponent India is very strong. If Sri Lanka wants to win, apart from batting, the bowlers also need to perform well.

India's ultimate goal is the Asia Cup title. Their players are in very good form. However, the performance of the Indian bowlers in the last match was not good. India will only win if the spin bowlers can bowl with some control against Sri Lanka.

I only fear if again India's middle order collapse then they might lose this match against Srilanka. The Srilankan spinners have the ability to take wickets at regular intervals and the middle order of India was struggling against the Pakistani spinners in the last match. India has to win this match comfortably if they want to play the finals of Asia cup.

In the India Pakistan match I thought India could but no last minute I saw 12 love Pakistan won the match I think if India could have played a little bit better than India they are here but because of their bad game they are this  Pakistan lost the match but played well but Pakistan won

Yesterday's match was a complete mess thanks to Indian middle order. Suryakumar, Panth, Pandya and Hooda were supposed to accelerate the net run rate but they decelerated it. As expected the bowlers won the match for Pakistan. If India has to reach the finals then they now have to win both the matches between Srilank and Afghanistan. Which I assume can be accomplished by them.

Everyone who is a fan of India or Pakistan might wish that these two teams play the final again. Furthermore, both India and Pakistan are big opponents of each other. Because it doesn't matter how well Afghanistan play, they still lack of experience. On the other hand, Sri Lanka has yet to become a good team. So cricket fans are eager to watch the match between India and Pakistan again.

I think Afghanistan have played two matches in a row played very well I think they will play very well today and try hard to reach the final but Afghanistan have a good chance to reach the final hope today will give a good match

I personally think there is no chance of Afghanistan winning against Pakistan. I am not underestimating the Afghanistan team. They are quite a good and strong team I know. But the Pakistan team has more experienced players than Afghanistan.
I think Afghanistan's main strength is their spin attack. On the other hand, Pakistan batsmen can bat well against the spin bowlers. Pakistan's batsmen batted brilliantly against India's spin attack in the last match as well. Moreover, Pakistan's bowling performance is quite good. I don't think Afghanistan's batsmen can do too well against such inexperienced bowlers.

[ScamViruS]

Every match in the semi-finals looks set to be competitive. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are relatively weak teams. But these two teams have shown outstanding performance in some matches. They have the ability to perform well against teams like India and Pakistan. On the other hand, India and Pakistan teams are also in very good form. So every semi-final match is going to be very competitive.

The next match is going to be another high voltage India vs Sri Lanka match. Because this match is very important for India to win to keep their hope of playing the final. On the other hand, Sri Lanka played their last match well and won against Afghanistan, as a result of which Sri Lanka will play with more confidence here. Although India is stronger than Sri Lanka but I think they will be under a lot of pressure in this match, let's see what the result will be in the end. So really Super 4 matches are giving real cricket entertainment to cricket fans.

There is no doubt that India is a lot better than Sri Lanka. However, as we have seen, the toss is going to be a very important factor in the outcome of the match. The captain who wins the toss will be the one who will bowl first. There have been a number of instances where teams have performed better when they are chasing. It is my opinion that the winning team should be the one who is going to bat second in the game. If the Indians win the toss I think it’s game over for Sri Lanka .

Yeah the toss has a huge impact on the outcome of the match. India lost the toss in the last match but created a chance to win the match with a flying start from the opening batsmen. But their middle-order batsmen could not use that opportunity properly. Sri Lanka have played fantastic cricket in the last two matches. So if Sri lanka win the toss then they have more chances to win because they have that ability.

Winning the toss definitely affects the match. In almost every match we see the teams batting later getting a bit more advantage. So the toss will play a very important role for today's match as well. The
Sri Lanka team is not weak. However, none of the players in their squad have performed consistently. In the first match against Afghanistan, we are seeing very weak batting from the Sri Lankan batsmen. In the next match, Sri Lanka played brilliantly against Afghanistan. So it is difficult to predict this team.
Although on paper India is the favorite to win this match. Even then, Sri Lanka will not let India win this match very easily. Sri Lanka will continue to fight their hardest to win.

I won't blame India's middle order batsmen for their loss, I think India's batsmen did well enough that day but their bowlers did not do well and I think if there is a cause for their loss that day it is their irresponsible bowling .
And if I talk about Sri Lanka then about the last two matches were against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, and I think India is much stronger than these two teams, so it will not be very easy for Sri Lanka to win against India. But also I will  not underestimate Sri Lanka because that have also the ability to loose any team.

Afghanistan need to win both their matches, in order to advance to the final (need 4 points, if I am not wrong). And it is going to be very hard. If they are lucky, they will win one of the two remaining matches. But winning both is close to impossible, especially against two of the top ODI sides. Right now Pakistan and Sri Lanka are on the top with two points each and they need just one more win to qualify. For India and Afghanistan, it is hard. And Sri Lanka has a golden chance, if they are able to win just one more match.

[wd1]

I think Sri Lanka will have a decent chase if they are able to chase today. Since that's their strength and the venue heavily favors that. They also have been bad at setting targets recently.

The next season of india vs sri lanka today and  sri lanka vs pakistan is Friday . india and  Pakistan is a strong team and Pakistan beat India in the last match so it won't be too difficult for them to beat Sri Lanka . And if Sri Lanka can't win match with india then they will be eliminated from the Asia Cup . So I think Sri Lanka should practice more in these few days.  Then they should try to play more hardly . Then maybe they can win this match

I think India has more chances to win this game. Because Sri Lanka is far behind India in all aspects. In this game, India will be ready to correct their previous mistakes and give their maximum performance. But Sri Lanka will play to their maximum and with

[SATWAT]

Sri Lanka won the toss and elect to field no changes which team play against Afghanistan and India is having one change which team lost against Pakistan, R Ashwin in place of Ravi Bishnoi.

No doubt one of the best event in recent days and we need events like these in Asia which will give very good popularity and better environment to all fans around the world right now situation is not easy for any team even Sri Lanka and Pakistan at top of the league table, but things can change any time in this event with today match is surely going to be very tight between these two teams with Sri Lanka is had no quality like India but after winning two tight matches their confidence level is very high, and they will try their best for having better finish in this tournament.
 
Afghanistan already done which was possible from them, and now they have no chance for going into last two because lost against Sri Lanka is give them big setback after good first round performance but here as Pakistan is unpredictable we can expect better chance for Sri Lanka to go into last two.

[Sithara007]

Rohit Sharma is now leading the recovery after collapse of the Indian top order. Sri Lanka got a good start, but they wasted it by allowing Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav to settle. Anywhere in the vicinity of 160-170 should be a competitive total for India. They have included Ravichandran Ashwin in the squad, and that should boost the spin bowling department. And pace bowlers remain unchanged, despite the pathetic performance from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh during the last match.

[JSRAW]

SL won the toss and opt to win the match  

This is a fine start from the Lankans but again we were already 1 down as KL Rahul before the match started.  .

But Hitman is looking good so that's a relief. Hope they are not coming back home early like Bongbros.

[Hamza2424]

^^^ It should be a cakewalk for India. But it is T20 format, and can be somewhat unpredictable. So far from what I have seen, India and Pakistan are the two strongest teams in the Super-4 and these two teams are most likely to qualify for the final. So we will get another India vs Pakistan match in this tournament. Perhaps this is the first time in the last two decades that we get three consecutive India vs Pakistan matches. Disney-Star will be extremely happy with all the advertisement revenues and increased viewership.

Haha Cakewalk was made Firewalk in the first 4 overs by sri lanka as they got 2 important wickets there but now india made a recover as 10 overs gone 79 runs here so it would be 170+ if India dont lose wickets so far. But if wickets goes on then it might be 160 range in scence of total score. it would be difficult for the Sri Lanka but still match is dependent on the Inidan bowling side.

I actually think that Pakistan might find some difficulties against Afghanistan. I am not trying to say that Pakistan is not going to be able to win against Afghanistan. I am trying to say that Afghanistan will probably be able to give Pakistan a good fight. Is that going to be enough?

I don't think so. But I can always appreciate a good cricket match. I think that's what it is going to be between Pakistan and Afghanistan. But on paper, it does look like Pakistan is absolutely going to destroy Afghanistan.

Srilanka is in control of the match at the moment. They are regularly taking wickets and Indians aren't able to settle down. Both the set batsmen Rohit Sharma  and Suryakumar Yadav are gone.
I smell an upset today but let's see how the game progresses in the Srilankan innings. Remember Srilanka is used to chasing big scores in the previous matches but this time they may not even have to chase a big score.
