T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Haunebu]

Remember if everyone thinks Pakistan is the weakest team in the T20 World cup, then for sure, you're in for a surprise.  You should not underestimate the Pakistan team in any circumstances, especially not in the World cups 

True. Underestimating any team in the T-20 format is stupidity which is why some of the odds offered in their markets offer crazy value. I won decent amounts betting on such high value odds.

And if they can't win, then have to bear the title of Whitewash. Today's run can keep them in good place. But chances of more than 200 runs are also not reliable. If we look at the last match where the target was 233 runs and they able to score 216.

I am 100% sure that South Africa will win at this point since chasing down such a humongous target is extremely difficult especially when they aren't playing at full power.

Deepak is not the bowler whom as a team you should have in any tournament. This Gus is nuts! He continues to bowl those balls which eventually would either get a Noball or a Wide. You need intelligent or cunning bowlers in the last over.

Deepak Chahar bowled really well and was hitting the right spot in his first 3 overs but he lost the plot when he bowled his last over. first a beamer that went for six and then his line and length was poor as David Miller scored 3 consecutive sixes after that.

The last time MD. Shiraz played in a T20 match was in February this year and today he was simply dominating the batter. I would simply say it is a good comeback. I don't know whether India will win this match but I know one thing, this Indian side with everyone playing would be difficult to ignore.

The pitch is good to score runs but Rohit Sharma is gone for zero and it is a difficult task if they loose wickets like this, but it will be interesting how Rishabh Pant will perform in this match as i do not think he should be in the team in T20.

The ground is small and it is also a reason why the team is considered to be the scoring pitch. India have lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma and Shreyas. Rishabh and Dinesh Karthik on the crease need to perform and maintain the required run rate. Anyhow this match is going to be tough for India.

Do you think that India may not be taking this match seriously as they have won the series? If this is the case it is always a risk to bet on such matches. Previously i shared that India was favorite but now they are not. India have to bat out this innings in order to win the match and series by 3-0.
Teams need to understand that a series win 3-0 is very much better than winning by 2-1.

To win, Team India must score 228 runs. South Africa reached this huge total thanks to a Rossouw century and Miller's last over cameo. Miller's arrival could have produced a total of 250 or more if he had come 2 overs earlier. His touch is murderous. India's ordinary bowling and sloppy fielding aren't helping the team. This small ground makes it difficult to judge their bowling performance. A batting lineup like India's is capable of chasing any total. However, both Rohit Sharma and Iyer fail to make any role.

Today death bowling wasn't that bad if we leave those last balls of the 20th over. I felt the Indian bowler did well in 17th 18th 19th over.

It's a very small ground and considered a graveyard for bowlers so it's fine. Although fielding was a big letdown this evening.

Proteas fielding doing more damage here.

The match have almost come to an end. If it was 50-60 runs required in the last 5 overs, then Axar Patel and Harshal Patel could do something. For now the requirement is 135 runs in 62 balls which is not a possible run to be scored by the lower order. If South Africa have managed to win the second T20, now this could've been a easy win for South Africa.

This is a tough match for India as Rohit Sharma didn't perform well. South Africa scored really well in the first half and good balling from their side too. Match is about to end now Deepak chahar on 25 and Umesh Yadav is on 16. SA will be happy to avoid a whitewash in this T20 series.

However, if you are betting you can bet on India as this is a safer choice. The odds are near 1.50 at the moment, and it is a good one when you see the probability of India winning the match is much higher.

There is nothing safer In T20Is, Especially when playing with one of the Top 5 teams. Don't forget that South Africa is Holding No. 4 Position in ICC T20I Ranking. I know India is a favorite in this match. That's why the betting odds are 1.50. While writing, South African Captain struggled with the bat and scored three runs from 8 balls before going to the pavilion. The score is now 61/1 After seven overs. The current Run rate is 8.71. Rilee Rossouw and  Quinton de Kock look like they are on fire. Let's see what happens. South Africa will surely try to come back today.

South Africa is playing relatively well today. They have already managed to score 104 runs in 11 overs. Looks like they will try their best to win today. And if they can't win, then have to bear the title of Whitewash. Today's run can keep them in good place. But chances of more than 200 runs are also not reliable. If we look at the last match where the target was 233 runs and they able to score 216.

The game looks like South Africa will win today. South Africa scored a lot of runs in today's match. But South Africa's bowling put India's batsmen under a lot of pressure. India scored 159 runs in 16 overs. But they lost 8 of their wickets.  Looking at this game, it seems that India will not be able to win this match in any way.

228 in 3rd T20 india batting more than half the game already india only 130 for 8 i think india completely failed to hold the wicket south africa bowlers line up is very good they are bowling very well south africa  Not only in bowling but also in batting, they have done very well. The target of 228 runs set by South Africa will be completely failed by the Indian batsmen today.

Deepak Chahar out on 31, played really well tried to catch up with the score but he was caught by Miller. India is still trying to win this match but short of balls. This is a sure win for South Africa well played in both halves. What a match, infact whole series was entertaining.

It's not India's day! Despite the tumbling wickets, the run rate remains close to 10; if you lose a few wickets early and a few in the middle order, you might still be able to chase. Even so, the current situation does not indicate that anything good can be expected. India's current team was the weakest it could be. The major players rested, so the result had to be faced.

Today when South Africa collect 94 runs for 1 wicket in 10 overs, I assumed that this match would be South Africa's favor. That thought came true in the end. But despite having so many hard and responsible batsmen, they have lost two matches in this series. Their worst performance was in the first match. However, they meet again in the ODI Series on 6 December. Hope the upcoming matches will be competitive.

Indian bowlers have been underperforming for a long time. In the previous series against Australia, we did not see good performance from Indian bowlers. India was able to win the matches only because of the consistently good performance of the batsmen. India won the last match by just 16 runs despite setting a huge target of 238 runs. In today's match too, South Africa has collected 131 runs in the last 10 overs. If the Indian bowlers do not improve their performance, I do not consider India as the favorite to win the next World Cup.

South Africa's man of the match today Riley Rossouw played the whole match with great responsibility his shots were worth watching 48 balls he managed to score 100 runs in this match he hit seven 4's and 8 6's Quinton de Kock showed his magic with the bat in today's match  Both were responsible batsmen and South African bowlers were incomparable South African bowlers who dropped consecutive wickets and struck fear into Indian batsmen as South Africa won by 49 runs in today's match against India.

With the help of de Kock and Rossouw's devastating batting, South Africa managed to amass a huge total of 227. Miller also scored 19 runs off just 5 balls. The performance of the South African batsmen was very good. But like the previous matches, Temba Bavuma's performance in today's match was very good. Poor Bavuma did not score any runs in 7 balls in the previous match. He collected only 3 runs in 8 balls in today's match. Temba Bavuma is in very poor form. I am not sure if he will be in the World Cup squad to continue this poor performance.

Bavuma isn't performing good throughout the T20 series. Anyhow at his failure other players are doing their best and contributing good. Other than the first T20, the performance of South Africa is really good and this will surely be watched by rest of the nations as T20 World Cup is fast approaching. From the Indian side their is scoring, but wicket fall goes on when there is need for partnership making.

I feel sorry for guys such as Reeza and Heinrich, who were not considered in the playing XI just because of their skin color. I don't want to go in to this debate about quota, but I would say that Bavuma simply doesn't deserve a spot in the XI. At least he should demote himself further down the batting order and give chances to other batsmen. I understand that everyone goes through bad phases in their life. But in case of Bavuma, he never had a good phase to start with. He was always an average player, and his form has worsened recently.

India's bowling was very strong earlier but now their bowling line has become weak. I think India's bowling has to face a lot of problems in their matches due to bad bowling. India's batting has played very well in some matches.  In some matches, they played a very bad game. In this match, India's players played a lot of bad games, both bowling and batting.

It's OK. India was playing without some of their key players, such as Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah. And apart from Bavuma, the other South African batsmen were on fire. Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw simply butchered the Indian bowlers. The only Indian bowler to have an economy rate of less than 10 runs per over was Ravichandran Ashwin. And I was surprised to see Axar Patel bowling just one over in the match. BTW, Mohammed Siraj was a complete failure. The selectors could have gone for Thangarasu Natarajan or Avesh Khan instead.

Yesterday in third and last T20 before world cup South African able to secure consolation win against second sting Indian bowling line up which were completely clueless against Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw which done amazing job for them and able to have target like 227 which is surely a huge with captain Temba Bavuma again fail to give any positive performance for his team which is surely a big concern for them in world cup as well.

After having big target like this bowlers were also on good run and top order very cheaply which helps them to have a big win and end their tour on positive note with SKY takes the honor of Man of the Series and Rilee Rossouw was man of the match for his ruthless knock of 100 on just 48 balls with the help of 8 sixes.
