T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[SirLancelot]

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.

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.

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.

Remember what I was talking about? There is no Safer side, especially when you are playing against the Top 5 Teams. I had a feeling that South Africa would fight back, and they would try to win this match to avoid the whitewash. Rossouw was aggressive from the beginning of the match, and he smashed an unbeaten 100 from 48 Balls. He was the key to winnings of the South African team. Pant, DK, and Chahar Tried a bit with some massive hits. But, that wasn't enough to reach the target. Congratulations team South Africa.

Australia vs West Indies, 1st T20 match Australia won the toss and decided to bowl. But it is not predictable which team will win this match today. West Indies scored 24 runs in 2 overs. But they lost 1 wicket. Kyle Mayers is very  Batting well, scored 18 runs off 9 balls. Looks like he will score 50 runs in this match today.

Australia is a far better team than West Indies and the chances of them winning this match is far better. I understand you cannot predict the outcome of a T20 match but when I compare the performance of both the sides in the past couple of matches the Australian side look much stronger.

For those who were considering South Africa after the first match they didn't believe, the next two matches were surprising. Three South African cricketers have managed to change the game in the last two matches. Quinton de Kock, David Miller and Rossouw are the only three cricketers who have performed the best in the next two matches. Although Rossouw did not do well in the 2nd match but had a great performance in the 3rd match.

Does it matter now? They already lost the T20 series in India which by the way was for the first time as they never lost any T20 series against India and played in India before this series. Late blooming won't help South Africa in the T20WC. This series was a prerun for the world cup and I am sure the South African side knew it but they were late.

Lol Windies lost the match despite Australians throwing the towel multiple times.

Some brain fade cricket from the windies in the last over, 2 drop catches and that too regular ones against both strikers lol

[Sithara007]

The match was much closer than what many of us would have expected. Alzarri Joseph was exceptional and none of the Australian batsmen could handle his pace and seam movement. And the biggest Australian vulnerability still exists at the top order. This time they experimented with Cameron Green, but he couldn't do much. On the other hand, Aaron Finch demoted himself down the order and scored some crucial runs (although he wasted a lot of balls). I am not very confident about the prospects of Australia in the world cup, after watching this match.

They did lose the series against India, but they avoided a whitewash and got close to winning the 2nd match which is why they shouldn't be underestimated in the T-20 World Cup in my opinion.

Just checked the scorecard and I was shocked to see Windies lose by such a slim margin. Australia don't look like a team capable of retaining the T-20 World Cup after their recent performances which is great news for the other teams.

However, I would never underestimate them despite these flaws since it's still Australia at the end of the day.

In the end, Australia won by 3 wickets. Another unbeaten knock from Matthew Wade took Australia home and gave them a 1-0 lead in the two-match T20I series! He is addicted to chasing tough scores. While WI's wicketkeeper didn't even bother to hit the stumps. Who should have won the match, but WI doesn't even show any intent or hunger to win.

We got a chance to enjoy an exciting match. After West Indies set a target of just 146 runs, I thought Australia would win very easily, as West Indies bowling line-up is not very strong. Apart from Finch and Matthew Wade, none of Australia's batsmen played well. Australia won due to responsible batting by Finch and Wade. Australia's top-order players will have to perform better if they want to win the upcoming matches.

I wasn't expecting this close finish by the West Indies. Although they lost the match but it was indeed a good play by them. They were the underdogs and they really surprised the Australian team.

I would say that Australian batting failed completely. Only Aaron Finch was able to score 58 runs and Matthew Wade scored a quick 39 runs which led Australia towards the victory. If the target would have been 160+, it was game over for Australians.

Yes it is true that the West Indies team is not as strong as it used to be but currently Australia's line-up is also not in that form, it has been observed in the last few matches.  And that's why I think Australia has to gain momentum to win today's match despite being a general target. Even then I like the Australian last order batsmens performance today.

Low scoring matches can be so competitive and this match can be the example of it. In this match of 145 runs, Australia lost 7 wickets and had to play 19.5 overs. West Indies may not win the match. But the fact that they are able to keep them under pressure is a good sign of their cricket. As the World Cup is going to be held in Australia after a few days later, West Indies can be more inspired by this match.

Recently we have seen many games like that where the opponent lost the match for dropping some easy catches. We have seen this in some matches of Asia cup. I'm wondering what happens to the fielders that they drop easy catches during the most important time of the match. The players are doing worth mistake by dropping the catches.

Not only low scoring games can be competitive every target or higher score match can be also competitive. If you wanna see that kindly looks the previous match , specially  the match England vs Pakistan. Only for three runs England loss the match . Let's see if Australia can win two more matches despite playing competitively like today.  I think this T20 series is very important for both teams before the T20 World Cup.

It is generally said that if you miss a catch, you miss the match. That seems to be true. A missed catch means a 2nd chance at a wicket. As a result of such opportunities batsmen normally try to play hard and thus the run rate also increases. If the batsman is set then it becomes very difficult to return him. All of a sudden this kind of accident happens. As long as there is cricket, catch may miss. This happens often, no matter how big or small team. It is considered as a part of a game.

You are right every moment and every bowl and every batting and also every run , I saw some previous matches some teams loss their match only for one run . And if I talk about todays match you can also says that in the last time catch miss is one of the main cause of loosing this match. If they could have taken the catches, they could have put more pressure on Australia and the share of victory could have gone their pocket.

It is truly commendable how West Indies fought back despite the low target. Although the performance of the West Indies bowlers was good, their fielding and batting were not good in this match. We know that most of the West Indies players are quite good for the T20 format. So we always expect devastating batting from them. In today's match, every batsman's batting was very slow. Today's match should have given a target of at least 160+.

[impulse709]

1st T20 match between West Indies and Australia gave a very exciting match, the whole cricket world was happy to see this match West Indies did not win the match but their style of play was very good they did very well in both their bowling and batting especially they performed well in bowling. It looked like the Australian batsmen were playing badly from the start as they were confused to play the balls of the West Indies bowlers but kept their responsibility intact and the Australian batsmen batted with a lot of responsibility and eventually won the match by 3 wickets.
