T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

India VS England (women)

The last and the decider match of this T20 series will be played today. Both team have shown that they can defeat each other in the previous matches. I cannot pick a favourite team in this series as both have their pros & cons. What I am interested is to again watch Smriti Mandana and Freya Kemp repeat their previous performance. The English side will still have the home ground benefit and the Indian side will have the spectators benefit.

I will support India in this game. India has good players.  India's batting and bowling are very strong I think. But in this match I think it will be a good game between the two teams.  I think England don't have that many good players. If England can put all the players under pressure from the beginning then it will be good for England.

Well, England has won the toss and they will field first. Another interesting thing is that last two matches are won by the team chasing, maybe this is the reason Amy Jones decided to field.

Bristol will decide who will be the winner of this interesting T20 Series. I will say, England has the advantage of the toss just like teams had an advantage in Dubai during the Asia Cup matches.

India already has a very bad start in this match and they are 16 for two wickets down.

Both Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana are gone cheaply making India women's team in deep trouble in this decisive T20 match. I think today's is an England day and they will win this match.

Yes and a great start from England's. I think today India will not able to crosss  100 as already they lost their 7wicket and  only more 4 over is available. Again I think England will win today's game.  If they can tackle indian bowlers then I think It will be one of the easiest win for them .

The game didn't turn out the way it was supposed to or the way it was expected to turn out.  Indian batsmen could not maintain their performance like in the second match.  Now let's see if I get a little freedom then I think I won't say anything more about these things. Even then I will not underestimate India's team because until now if they keep holding their performance like 2nd match but I think today they can also be winner.

I am also not underestimate Indian team but I am talking about their performance today, their batting performance was very poor today, but with a bit better performance towards the last they managed to get above 100. Now let's see their bowling performance India is a weaker team than England team but I also think they can still beat England as it reflected in the last match.  Now if only they can keep their bowling line up then I think they have a chance to win as well

This match is going to be an easy win for England. India have 79 runs in 17 overs losing 7 wickets. Ghosh and Vastrakar on the crease. Somehow England will wrap India within 100 runs. This is an easy target for England. From the very beginning England have taken control of the match.

In T20 format it is lower score but in women's cricket there are big fights even in low score. England won the toss and decided to field. On the other the match is being played at England's venue, they will be ahead in this perspective. England's chances of winning are very high. Already 20 overs done and finally INDW collect 122.

Pakistani Umpire Asad Rauf, the former ICC elite umpire who officiated in 170 international matches across 13 years, passed away due to cardiac arrest in Lahore today. He was 66. May his soul Rest In Peace.

A few months back I had read that he had become a shop owner in Lahore and had completely left cricket.

I have seen Asad Rauf umpiring in many matches and he was an asset, not only for Pakistan but globally recognized, however, there were corruption charges on him and he was also involved in the 2013 IPL spot fixing. He was banned from umping and these days running up a clothes shop in his native city before he died at the age of 66. What made me sad is that life is so unpredictable, and we never know when our last day in this world will be.

I was watching a documentary in which he said - that all the allegations on him by the indian players are wrong.
I felt very sad on seeing how he has spent last days of his life selling garments  - because his son had schizophrenia
Rest in peace Asad Rauf!

It is not possible to win against a team like England with a target of only 123 runs. England women's team is strong enough. Even in the first match we saw that India set a target of 133 runs, and England Women reached the target with the loss of 1 wicket in just 13 overs. England's team will win today's match very easily. Had India set a target of more than 150, the match would have been competitive.

Indian batting is unpredictable, so they were not able to have good target on board as they have done in last match but still a good result for them as they are doing good against them at their home and lost this series by 2 - 1 new players are taking good experience which is going to help them in coming matches which is very important as now we are going ahead things are improving for Indian women specially in cricket.

As they settled 123 I was feeling they are going to lose this match easily but good job from Indian bowlers, and they have not allowed English women to play freely math ends in 19th over with England won by seven wickets as India won last match by eight wickets good play by both teams.

At one point I really thought that they are going to pull it off. Those 3 quick wickets really did the trick and England's batters were under pressure.

The wicket of Alice Capsey would've been icing on the cake at that time and possibly tighter contest at death overs.

Finally India was able to reach 122 runs. This time it is the bottom order players that contributed to the score. The opening and the middle order failed. On the England side it had a good start, the first wicket fell at the 10th over. If there were few wicket fall at the beginning overs, the match could've gone little more closer.

Life is really unpredictable, we lost many users in this forum in the past two years and the pandemic has taken your loved ones as well. This year we saw the demise of Shane Warne as well as Andrew Symonds and now Asad Rauf who was a decent umpire during his officiating times even though there are allegations against him and got suspended for 5 years but i have not seen any reports publicly regarding those fixing charges.

England won the match easily, it was a surprising victory for India in their last match and i was expecting England to bounce back stronger and hence waged for them and the Indian batters failed this time to put a fighting total.

Irrespective of the outcome from the final match, India should be happy with the results. The series was won by England by a margin of 2-1, but India proved that they are capable of serious challenge. That said, they should introspect and analyze their weaknesses. Even under pace-friendly conditions, Indian seamers were not very effective against the England batters. Renuka Singh Thakur was in excellent form, but she was expensive in this series. On the other hand, it was the spinners such as Radha Yadav who picked up wickets.

The commitment of English girls on the field was too good to be true. Every catch was completed flawlessly whereas Indian girls were lacking the same commitment. As I said earlier the whole team is dependent on one player and that is Smriti Mandana. Ghosh was impressive but she tends to play lose shots. I am happy that women cricket has come a stage where many of us here are following these matches. I hope after WIPL starts this craze should increase significantly.

I beg to disagree here. Actually Pakistani fans instigated it, they started mocking and taunting Afghanistan fans. Which led to  Afghanistan fans eventually rioting and beaingt up of Pakistani fans mercilessly. I personally do not support such kind of behaviour but when you think yourself as superior in this case Pakistan then such incidents would occur. The worst part is that now Pakistani citizen think Afghanistan hates them more than India .

I disagree with you. Actions speak louder than words basically which implies that Afghanistan fans were worse when compared to Pakistan fans since they probably seriously injured some people.

His struggle for livelihood has been documented in a video I watched recently; he used to run a very small shop in Lahore, the local market.

Watched him officiate several matches back in the day and he was a decent umpire despite all the controversies surrounding him. RIP!

India needed at least 60 more runs. Their team's bowlers were not able to take quick wickets. The batsmen of the England team have shown great discretion. They won the match very calmly. India need to work more in the bowling department. Besides, the batsmen have to acquire the ability to score more runs.

England women cricketers have shown great skill. They managed to win the match easily with the loss of few wickets and few more balls to go. Indian batsmen should have scored more runs but they failed to do so. Fewer runs were the main reason for India's defeat.

The Indian woman cricket team is definitely one of the better teams in the world cricket. Already India and England played 3 matches of this series. Where India managed to win a match. In that match they performed very well losing only 2 wickets and managed to score 146 runs in 16.4 overs against a target of 142 runs. In that case, I can't consider India Women as weak team.

Well, the Indian lower order did really well to pull the score to 122 runs. Some really good batting by Richa Ghosh and Pooja Vastrakar  made Indian women team score some what fighting score. Also the Indian bowlers did well to defend it and took the match right to the 19th over. Even though Indian women team lost the match, but i will give full credit to them for trying their best.

Last week I watched a movie - about the Indian women captain and how despite of having limited funds she managed to pull off. They have a lot of potential and they will surly come back stronger.

This is the hard reality of Indian Women Cricket Team. I see New Zealand cricket board to be the best to give equal rights and support to men and women cricket team. In a country like India with such a big support for cricket, the Women cricket team didn't get its recognition. Now slowly they're getting revealed and someway things are getting better.

Yes, everyone hopes they will come out stronger. They performed very poorly against New Zealand that day and they lost the match.We have noticed lately that both the Indian Cricket Board Women and Men teams are performing very poorly. No one can accept the weakness of their cricket board.But of course they should come stronger thus their performance is taking the team much worse

New Zealand is well-developed country with good structure and well-developed in all fields of life which is surely not comparable with India, so they can afford things like these here in India we have nothing good and positive even we are reading about WIPL for many years but no positive development happening just announcements and few routine procedures for paper works are going which is never been acceptable.

If you want to compete with New Zealand then surely you have to done hard work for half century then something possible, but you can imagine this is not going to happen in country like India where life is not easy for women compare to New Zealand and their facilities and other things which are they providing for their citizens.

In India, there are a lot of cultural taboos and customs, which prevent women from participating in sports. Only in certain regions such as NE India and Haryana we can see women participating in equal numbers as men. And this is not specific to any one sport. Outside some gated societies within metro cities, India is a very conservative nation. Female participation in sports is picking up, but I don't think that it will reach a level comparable to countries such as New Zealand and Australia anytime in the next 2-3 decades.
