T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[|MINER|]

Hardik Pandiya was outstanding. 71 runs from 30 balls and still Not Out. Shuryakumar Yadav and Rahul also batted really well. I agree with you guys that Indian Bowlers was too expensive, except for Axar Patel. Axar Patel bowled four overs, and he conceded only 17 runs. 4.20 is a dream economy for T20 bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took four wickets, but he was too expensive as well. If you cannot get wickets, at least you have made some dot balls. That's all you should care about in T20Is.

India was defeated only because of the failure of the bowlers. Hardik Pandya's innings were outstanding. He batted at 236.66 strike rate. With the help of Pandya, India scored a massive 208 runs. But the performance of the Indian bowlers was abysmal. Bhubaneswar Kumar gave away 13 runs per over. Umesh Yadav managed to pick up two wickets though, conceding 27 runs in 2 overs. But Axar Patel's performance was very noteworthy. He takes 3 wickets in 4 overs, and conceded just one boundary. India has to be more aware of the condition of the pitch. And bowlers should be selected accordingly.

I have no question about the batting performance of both the teams because the batsmen of India's first order have performed well as well as the middle order Hardik Pandya has shown his performance. But in the Indian team, there are no bowlers to say except for Patel, whose average Econ runs are below 10 or 11. In this case, the Australian bowlers have given a little better performance. However, due to Cameron Green's extraordinary performance and Matthew Wade's performance towards the last, the Australia team managed to win.

[MoonOfLife]

Axar conceded just 17 runs from his 4 overs. And the remaining bowlers conceded a total of 194 runs from their 16 overs. And none of the other bowlers had an economy rate of less than 10 runs per over. And I am gradually losing my trust on Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He doesn't seems to be in good form for quite some time. BTW, does anyone know why Jasprit Bumrah was not in the playing XI? Even Deepak Chahar would have been a better choice. Anyway, I don't think that India will go with the same bowling lineup for the next match.

Over 12 per over from four bowlers at home is surely a big concern for India skipper and management because they can't win with bowling like this even at home then how is possible in Australia where batting is also have no good favor like home, so surely they need to bring some changes, and I am feeling Bhuvneshwar Kumar is bowler of early overs where he can give them break through or good result so if they want to keep him then surely Rohit Sharma needs to use him first 10 overs and here he can give them good economy as well, but surely Deepak Chahar also deserve better chance in series like this where he can learn good for his future which is going to be good for him and India.
Surely few changes going to be coming in next matches because this bowling attack is not going to give them any positive result and Jasprit Bumrah is having fitness issues which are preventing him from this series as management are looking for his availability into World Cup which is more important instead of this series.

I also agreeing with your points but I think this match pitch wasn't bowling friendly that's why if you see the Australian bowlers are also was much expensive on that match .  But I agree with them being the home team a better performance was expected I have also doubts about the performance of both team  India and Australia in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Even though the two teams are at the top of the rankings, they are unable to return to form.

The pitch was batting-friendly. So the batsmen of both the teams have batted very well. However, the performance of the Indian bowlers was quite poor from the beginning of the match. Australia scored 109 runs in the first 10 overs. I agree with you that the performances of both India and Australia are erratic right now. Despite having many star players, they are not able to bring consistency in performance.

[minairia3]

It was a terrific run chase by Australia to win the match. Wade's performance was excellent. A big congratulations goes out to the Australian Men's Cricket Team. The Indian bowling attack needs to be improved. As a death overs bowler, Bhuvaneswar often proves to be a failure with wayward bowling and too many wide balls. The closing woes of Bumrah should be fixed. The match was lost because of missed lbw reviews and catches.
During the Asia Cup, Virat Kohli was a regular performer, but then he struggled against Australia. It will be interesting to see if he has regained his form.

Sometimes I really feel annoyed because we need every time perfect results and performance from players and never feel they are also humans and have issues with health and off the field as well which are having big impact on their performance as well in yesterday game India set a good target which was surely not easy to chase but Australians done good fight and specially good performance from Green and Wade give them win which is nothing special because one team needs to be winner in this game and Australia were better, so they won.
We need to praise both sides as they give good entertaining game with their best performance, but sadly we are still looking for better from Kohli, and we are not happy with Bhuvie even both done good job as we have from others in this game you can't expect 100% from one player in every game because it's never been natural in game specially in cricket.

Aside from the fact that both teams scored a combined total of over 400 runs during this match, there is no doubt that this was a competitive match.
Since this was a T20 match, it is quite incredible that this happened. As a result of Mathew Wade and Cameron Green playing exceptionally well for Australia,
Cameron Green was named man of the match for his outstanding performance.

However, what I really enjoyed about the match was Hardik Pandya's innings, where he smashed 71 runs off only 30 balls, which was a tremendous inning.
Although Australia won the game, I must say that India gave their all for the game even though they lost.

In a cricket match, individual performances doesn't matter much. It is the team effort which decides which one of the sides win the match. And in case of Australia, they always have perfect team bonding. That is not the case with the Indian team, which is divided in to several camps. Irrespective of whether the pitch was friendly to batting or not, 208 was a perfectly defendable total. If they still lost the match, then the blame should be on the bowlers. Depth bowling was very poor from the Indian side, with the pacers leaking runs all over the park.

I agree it is all about team performance and not about an Individual player's performance but when an individual does not perform how will the team then? I also agree a score of 208 was defendable but Indian bowlers were pathetic. For example, Bhuvi gave 52 runs and Yadav gave 27 runs. If you add them, then it is 88 runs just given away. Then you have zero contribution by Kohli with his bat. India reached 208 only because Pandya hit three sixes. So, individual performance does matter when you are judging a team's performance.

[BobK71]

Last match between India and Australia saw a negative reaction among the Indian fans. Indian bowling could not contribute at the time when needed. Most of the time they are seen to be disconsolate. I think there was a need to make some changes in the team in view of the upcoming T20 World Cup cricket. Otherwise, it is very clear that Australia will be the favorite for the T20 World Cup.

[Haunebu]

He's an excellent death bowler but in this case, it means death bowler for the Indian team.  Also I would blame the sponsors, before the bilateral series was under the Paytm banner and India hardly lost any bilateral but now they have changed the sponsor lol.

On a serious note, it would be a lot better if they can utilize Bhuvi at the start.

Makes sense. He is easily one of the most inconsistent bowlers out there. Sometimes, he picks up several wickets with a healthy economy rate. On the other hand, he leaks runs like crazy and doesn't pick up a single wicket some other times.

This is why India desperately need Bumrah back since he is still their best death bowler in my opinion.

Not only Indian Bowlers but Aussies were also expensive. Cameron Green gave away 46 Runs in three overs. Every bowler was expensive except Nathan Ellis. He took three wickets and gave only 30 runs in four overs. 7.50 is not a bad economy in the such high scoring match. The pitch was batting-friendly, So I don't think bowlers had to do much. Cameron Green Scored a massive 61 from 30 balls. At the same time, Matthew Wade (wk) scored unbeaten 45 runs from 21 balls. Both strike rates were over 200.

As of tomorrow, Jasprit Bumrah will make his comeback against Australia. The Indian team suffers greatly as a result of his absence.

Rohit captaincy in T20 format has also been a subject of controversy. His behavior with players and captaincy are not good. Before the T20 world cup, he should quit. The captaincy should be given to Pandya as soon as possible. A change of the fast bowling line up, such as the return of Bumrah, should be made under Pandya's captaincy.

Rohit should quit! Why? I do not see any issue with his captaincy. Actually he is preety good with it. None of players have complaint about his behaviour and niether did the coach. The problem with India at the moment are bowlers. They are pretty much inconsistent with their performance. Yes, Bhumrah would be a big assets to the pathetic bowling performance of India. I am not sure how much will it help India tomorrow but I am sure about the world cup.

I don't know what was going through the mind of Virat Kohli. In a match where both the sides were scoring at a rate of more than 10 runs per over, Virat Kohli had a strike rate of 28.50! He scored a total of 2 runs from 7 balls, before getting out to Nathan Ellis. Some other batsmen could have easily scored 10-15 runs from that many balls and if so, the outcome of the match could have been different (Australia won the match with just 4 balls to spare). And Rohit Sharma was only slightly better than Kohli. He scored 11 from 9 balls.

Yes, Rohit Sharma was slightly better than Virat Kohli but I won't say he is not out of form or has captaincy pressure. It was just another day when he choose the wrong shot to play but Virat Kohli has been consistently out of form from 2019. In Asia cup he took a lot of time to settle before scoring some good runs. This T20WC might just be his last if he fails once again.

Virat Kohli can return to form if he wants but he needs to bring his focus back to his game. If Virat Kohli can play well up front then good for him.  And if he plays badly then it seems that Virat Kohli will face a lot of problems. Virat Kohli used to play very well but now he plays very badly in most of the matches.

Every player always wants to give his best but often it doesn't. Everything has its ups and downs. Virat Kohli has been in good form in Indian cricket for a long time but recently he has been struggling to find his form, I don't know if any other cricketer has been given as many opportunities as he has. However, the Indian Cricket Board wants to see him in the T20 World Cup. However, everyone is unhappy with his performance in the last match. Let's see what happens to him in the next match. Then it will be understood what will happen next.

As Virat Kohli has started playing badly day by day. If he plays worse after the coin days, will he be dropped from T20 matches or not?  If you know anything about this then tell me. It is because I like Virat Kohli's game very much.  I don't want my favorite player to play a bad game or get kicked out of the match. I want him to always play well in all the matches.

Sometimes the name is too big that you can't remove him from the team and Virat Kohli is too big a name for the Indian cricket team. Even if he as been more chances to get his form back, but this is not he is giving him any favor, this is because he has given incredible performances in the past and Indian board hopes he will continue the same form very soon.

We, at Pakistan, had Shaidi Afridi in the past, who remained in the team for so long but in most of the matches, he did not score any runs. But he was a legend too.

[noormcs5]

Another easy and good opportunity to bet on the England team today and get 1.68 odds. England is playing well as usual and i am hopeful they will win today's match. Pakistan team may have some good names in their team but if they do not click, Pakistan will lose. Pakistan bowler is looking very ordinary today.

Every team have got such a player same as Virat Kohli in India. If their entire game statistics were taken, we'll come to know how they've contributed to the winning in more number of matches. Agreed on the statement, name itself valued and opportunity is given. In the past India had Sachin Tendulkar, even when he doesn't perform on consecutive matches his position isn't denied. More discussions have taken place, but he continued to be in the playing XI

[ibuddy122505]

Pakistan lost the opening match of the series to England. Will they be able to bounce back tonight? As a result of winning the toss in the second T20I, England decided to bat first. Shahnawaz Dahani claimed back-to-back wickets, Eng lost Hales and Malan. As the English batters lost two batters, it will be interesting to see how long they can continue to bat well.

[Vaskiy]

Another easy and good opportunity to bet on the England team today and get 1.68 odds. England is playing well as usual and i am hopeful they will win today's match. Pakistan team may have some good names in their team but if they do not click, Pakistan will lose. Pakistan bowler is looking very ordinary today.

Look at the odds at the moment, it have varied completely in the opposite way.


In an over Dahani took consecutive wickets and that have made the change in the odds. We can't conclude who is gonna win the match. If score is around 160-170 runs, then there is more chances of Pakistan chasing the target.
