T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[rugrats]

A three-match T20I series between India and the Proteas will begin today. After winning T20I series against Aussies the Indian side will be overflowing with confidence, they've no other choice but to win the series against SA. This will be one last assignment for India before they travel to Australia for the 2022 T20 World Cup.

India has performed well in every match against Australia. However, the first match was unfortunately defeated. Indian players are very confident now. India's weakness is that their bowlers are not performing well. But the batsmen are playing brilliantly. If the South African bowlers perform well, they have a chance to win. Otherwise India will win this series very easily.

Bangladesh has always been weak in the T20 format. They have won T20 matches in the past because of their strong bowling line-up. But now the performance of their bowlers is also weakening. We are not getting better performance from an experienced bowler like Mustafiz. There are no hard hitter batsmen in the Bangladesh squad. Bangladesh squad has very few batsmen whose strike rate is more than 100. It is difficult for Bangladesh to improve in the T20 format if they cannot improve in this spot.

It is imperative to combine good batting with good bowling in the T20 format in order to thrive. They suffer most of the time due to a lack of big hitters in the batting line-up. The Bangladesh cricket team has been consistently unsuccessful in the T20 format due to a lack of confidence that prevents them from being competitive enough. The team has quality bowlers like Mustafiz, but he didn't hold his quality deliveries. In the T20 format, one cannot expect much from a team with so many new faces and such inexperience.

In around 6 hours from now, the first T20I match between India and South Africa would take place (Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram). Both the teams are in good form. India has won 3 out of their last 5 matches, while South Africa has won 4 out of 5. For India, some of the big names are missing: Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. A surprising call up was that of Shahbaz Ahmed. Rumors are that he may make his debut for India today.

So many changes in every series, players getting injured, warming the bench, and being ruled out without playing a single game lol.

No wonders Indian selectors run like a headless chicken with messed up combinations when WC or any ICC tournament starts.

Edit

Looks like Bumrah is struggling with niggle so he's rested too and no 6th bowling option for India tonight.

England won the toss and ready to Bowl first and that's one thing in favor of the England still lets expect the good performance by the Rizwan & Babar Especially still i want to see Babar making good runs in this match. No doubt here this match ks going to be an important one so fingers crossed best of luck for both teams

I'm watching the game right now. Despite India not having some good players, they have bowled brilliantly so far. South African batsmen could not collect very good runs where 15 overs have passed. And they lost 6 wickets. It will be very difficult to beat India with this low score.

In the previous game, Pakistan managed to achieve a great victory. So far, both the teams are on equal in this series. With only a few overs to go, it's not yet clear who will win. But both teams will want to take the lead. Both teams will try their best to win. I wish them all the best.

Because of Indian brilliant bowling display, South Africa set an unwanted record. With the loss of 5 wickets in all formats of T20 cricket, South Africa became the fastest team to lose 5 wickets. As of now, the visitors are down 7 wickets as Indian bowlers have shown no mercy. At the current rate, South Africa will have a difficult time passing 100 runs.

South Africa has been able to provide a target of only 107 runs. It is almost impossible to win against a team like India with a target of just 107 runs. Although the pitch is completely bowling friendly. If the target was like 140 then maybe India would not have won the match easily. Four South African batsmen returned to the dressing room for zero runs today. Keshav and Parnell's partnership helped South Africa set a target of 107. Otherwise they would have lost all the wickets before 80.

I do not know exactly how long ago South Africa had been in such a situation. They are playing the first match of the three match T20 series. However, India has done great performance today. They did not give South Africa any chance. I couldn't imagine that in the end, South Africa would be able to score over 100 runs. Anyway, the next match can be a good one.

[JSRAW]

India is winning the first match of the bilateral? This hardly happened in my recent memory.

Let's give credit for full swing bowling from the opening bowlers, the kind of ball they bowled in the first 3 overs were peach aka yummy, doubt if any batter could face them including Indians, except Rizwan and SKY, these 2 guys are batting in another dimension nowadays, conditions hardly matters to them.

Edit

Bloody hell!!

Just watched Raina's diving catch against Ben Dunk at a point in AusL vs IndL

I reckon India still doesn't have such kind of fielder in the Indian team for point position if we rule out Sir Jadeja.

India reached the target of victory with the loss of only 2 wickets. Every Indian bowler's performance was outstanding today. Ashwin didn't take any wickets today, but he conceded just 8 runs in 4 overs. Chahar and Patel picked up 2 wickets each. Ashdeep managed to take 3 wickets today.
India lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma by 9 runs. And on 17 runs, Virat Kohli also returned to the dressing room. However, India won easily thanks to responsible batting by KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav. Both players managed to score fifty today.

Very well said. South African batsmen could not score good runs against India's efficient bowling. Their low runs made it easier for India to win. However, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not do well. But the subsequent batsmen gave India a pretty easy win.

In the last match Pakistan players Babar Azam and Rizwan failed to perform good and Pakistan lost the Match. Pakistan somehow managed to reach 158 runs. Now England leads the T20 series 2-1. Every match is getting more important for Pakistan, because losing the match will keep England on the lead. It was the second T20 that turned to be big win for Pakistan. Everyone expected similar performance in the third match, but it didn't work.

England and Pakistan match is going on in Karachi and people are so excited . . Pakistani team seems to be in good moral
England team doesnt seem happy on their performance. - maybe they are not happy coming to Pakistan - what are your thoughts about it?

A target of 145 runs in 20 overs is not a big target. But for this the batsmen have to show their skills. Pakistan picked up 5 wickets of England in the first time. Now Pakistan has more chances to win the match. Pakistan bowlers show their skills. England must be stronger to secure this series.

England's two openers were flops today. They got out by collecting 3 and 1 runs respectively. Dawid Malan then played well, but Duckett and Brook returned to the dressing room with 10 and 4 runs respectively. Collected 97 runs in 16.2 overs and lost 6 wickets. But Moeen Ali is still at the crease. England has a chance of winning if he stays at the crease. But if Moeen Ali doesn't survive till the end then Pakistan will easily win the match. However, today's match is going to be very competitive and enjoyable.

england seem like winning the game - earlier they did not do good.
But now they need 20 runs. Pakistan in trouble.
Seems like England is going to win

Even with Moen Ali on the crease England wasn't able to win the match. Finally Pakistan leads the series 3-2 with the 6 runs win in this match. Pakistan bowlers continued to break partnership at regular intervals from the beginning. In between England gained momentum, but they weren't able to keep it up till the end of the match.

England need 15 runs off 7 ballls. 2 6's and match is over
England will win for sure -
Pakistani crowd is not happy!

[Hamza2424]

Pakistan won, really target was so bad by the batting line up of the Pakistan today failed to make a good total still, Pakistani bowlers did amazing job and won the match by the 5 Runs well, that was good match of series as hear patients can watch it hahaha. Well done by Bowlers again i think Pakistan should need to focus on the batting line up as Only Babar,, nooo Only Rizwan is taking all pressure sometimes Asif too.
