T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Zimbabwe V Ireland

Ireland lost today against Zimbabwe. I expected Ireland to win this match. Because their batting line-up is very strong. There are several world-class players. Ireland lost today's match because of the failure of the top-order players. Paul Stirling failed to collect any runs today and Tucker returned to the dressing room with 11 runs. If these two players play well, the Ireland team has a chance to win. On the other hand, Sikander Raza's huge innings of 82 runs from 48 balls made Zimbabwe a huge total of 174. Also the performance of the bowlers was quite decent. Muzarbani in particular took 3 wickets for just 23 runs.

India VS Australia (warmup match)

What a fantastic win for India in the warm-up match. Combined team effort from India.
India won by 6 runs.
Last over situation : 11 runs required out of 6 balls.
Mohammad Shami directly came into the last over, conceded four runs in the first two balls.
Four wickets in a row made India win the match.

India won this match very hard.  After watching the game I thought Australia will win this match but Australia lost by 6 runs.  Although Australia could make good runs from the beginning, Australia could not make good batting runs.  I think India won this match with a lot of difficulty.

I was supporter of india. I thought india will win and finally it happened and i am very happy that india and australia game was very hard but india beat australia very hardhardly . Thanks India for gifting us a beautiful game.  I bet with one of my friends for India and I won that too

India not only beat Australia in today's match, they beat me too. I bet for Australia. I thought I will win this bet but lost this match because of only 6 runs. I can't accept it. I first thought that India will win this match then I bet on the support of Australia. I lost today's bet due to my mistake of mind. If I had bet on the support of India first then I would have won today's bet.

Ops mate this is really bad for you. how much you are batted for Australia ? and from where you are batted ? in any online gambling site or offoffline bet like me ? Don't get upset because you lost.  Try to place potential  bets in the next time. good luck mate

West Indies V Scotland

West Indies are now playing against Scotland. West Indies won the toss and elected to field. Will the West Indies start the World Cup with a defeat like Sri Lanka, or will they easily beat Scotland?

Scotland's players are playing well enough. At the end of 12 overs, they managed to collect 87 runs. Opener George Munsey remained unbeaten on 41 runs. I guess Scotland players will be able to give a target of 140-150. West Indies' batting line-up is strong. If West Indies don't face a batting disaster like Sri Lanka then they won't have any problem winning this match.

This is another upset where Scotland beat West Indies.   Scotland scored 160 runs and in return, West Indies were all out with 120 runs. Previously we saw Srilanka losing to Nambia. Small teams are showing some good performances which is an alarming sign for those teams who were good previously but are losing track slowly.

Today there were a few other matches too including the warm up games between India Vs Australia and England Vs Pakistan. Difficult to keep track of all the games on the same day but it was a day full of cricket action. 

Although the India vs Australia game was a warm-up game. But watching them play felt like watching a great high voltage game. India's KL Rahul performed well while Australia's Aaron Finch played well. India's bowling needs to improve for the World Cup. If another Australian batsman had scored 50 runs, they could have won.

Scotland has set a target of 161 runs for Westindies. The way they were going after the WI bowlers before the rain halted the match I thought that they would score more than 170 runs. Now it all depends how well the can bowl to defend the target.   

I had quite a doubt that the West Indies team, like the Sri Lankan team, would face a batting disaster. In the last series against Australia we saw that the West Indies batsmen were not in good form. They have yet to return to form. A target of 161 runs is not a big target for a team like West Indies. Almost all West Indies players are capable of playing big shots. Then they lost all the wickets for just 118 runs. I would not be surprised at all if West Indies and Sri Lanka do not play in the main stages of the World Cup. Teams like Ireland, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Scotland are performing quite well now. And so it is difficult for West Indies and Sri Lanka to go to the main stage of the World Cup.

Since it is T20 cricket, so it is not possible to predict.

Everyone has this kind of regret when they lose a bet. As both teams are very strong, luck is more important than calculation. After losing the match, it seems that you made the wrong bet. But if you win then you may think it is right. However, the gambler has no problem losing a match. Because it happens to every gambler most of the time. Research the upcoming match and make strategy how to recover the losses.

That is correct -while everyone makes their bet - I always think - while we make our plans fate has other plans and all our predictions goes in vain
Aussies are hard to defeat - India did well. Now Indian has a very important match on Sunday with Paksitan - let's see if any teams win or the weather forcaste come true

What a disappointing start for the WI team? They were literally struggling while facing the Scottish bowlers. Getting defeated by 42 runs shows how good the scotland bowlers bowled today. The target was not that tough to chase but Scotland were good in both field and bowling today. The next match between Ireland and Zimbabwe has already started and Zimbabwe has already lost a wicket with no score on the board.

Sri Lanka and West Indies going the same route, the opposition batting first they struggle for a while but then the tail end batsman takes the team to a good position and then when they come out to bat they struggle against the Namibia and Scotland bowlers, not a good start and it will be interesting if these two teams fail to qualify for the Super 12 as both teams won the World Cup and no place in the tournament .

Recently we are seeing some upsets happening in cricket which is both good and bad in my opinion. I think Scotland played really well as a whole team but the Windies fell short by quite a big margin. George Munsey played a really good knock for them as he scored 66 runs off 53 balls. Jason Holder played quite well for WI as he got 2 wickets and scored 38 runs but it was not enough for them to win the game.

Yes, in this match, Scotland has defeated a strong team like West Indies. It is a matter of thinking. At first I thought that West Indies could easily take the runs that Scotland took. Later, I saw that Scotland's words put the West Indies batting under a lot of pressure.  After time I see all the batting of West Indies are all out and Scotland won by 42 runs

What happened yesterday was entirely the fault of West Indies. At this point, both Sri Lanka and West Indies are languishing at the bottom of their respective groups. And both these teams need to win both their remaining matches in order to qualify for the next stage of the world cup. And I have a feeling that at least one of these teams will not qualify. In that case, the situation will get interesting. For the next edition (2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup), these teams need to play the regional qualifier if they don't make it to the next stage. Imagine Sri Lanka playing alongside teams such as Myanmar and Bhutan in the qualifying tournament.

I think everyone likes betting.  But what I found is that betting takes a lot of luck.  I think that is entirely based on luck.  So before betting on any team, think well before placing your bet. Otherwise, you will have to think later.  But losing some winning matches is very difficult to accept.

@jkoil I too was expecting Australia to defeat India easily, but it seems that this Indian side is finally finding its groove just in time and hopefully they’ll be able to perform much better and at least make it to the semis.

@Sithara007 imagine both Srilanka and WI crashing out early on, because that’ll make this World Cup really interesting and then I believe that fans will start to wonder if they’ll see a repeat of 2003 World Cup where a unexpected team (Kenya) reached the semis.

Chances are low, IMO. Sri Lanka has matches remaining against the Dutch and the UAE. West Indies also have matches against Ireland and Zimbabwe. Ideally both these nations should win their remaining matches and therefore qualify to the super-12. But if they don't qualify, then humiliation awaits them. In the next edition (2024), teams outside top-12 need to play regional qualifiers. BTW, back in 2003, Kenya reached semis thanks to some of the teams forfeiting their matches against them. That scenario was different from what we have now.

Although it was a warm-up match, it was a very effective match for both of them. Both teams can find out their mistakes and learn from them. In the World Cup, these two strong teams dream to play the final and they have the ability. It may also happen that no team will be able to play the final. Since it is T20 cricket, so it is not possible to predict.

You are right, For both teams, this match is more important than winning to find out their weaknesses. Australia can only be successful if they can find their weaknesses. And while finding the weaknesses, work to strengthen the weak areas. Both teams aim to be champions. It is impossible to become champions without consistently performing well.


Namibia V Netherlands

After a great performance against Sri Lanka in the first match, the Namibia team will play against the Netherlands today. But they are not able to bat well in today's match. la Cock and Jan Nichol returned to the dressing room by zero runs. At the end of 15 overs, Namibia's collection is only 81/4. I don't think victory is possible given a target of 140.

[onecall123]

Watched the match from the very first ball to the end. With batting Scotland gave its best. Even when there is wicket fall, George Munsey stood strong and kept scoring. In between few players Berrington, McLeod, Greaves made little runs that adds to the total. When the second innings started it looked to be an easy win for West Indies, but no mistake coming out of Scotland fielders helped them win the match by 42 runs. No catch drops took place during the second innings which is really impressive. Big disappointment for the West Indies and all the matches that have got over is against the odds.

What a disappointing start for the WI team? They were literally struggling while facing the Scottish bowlers. Getting defeated by 42 runs shows how good the scotland bowlers bowled today. The target was not that tough to chase but Scotland were good in both field and bowling today. The next match between Ireland and Zimbabwe has already started and Zimbabwe has already lost a wicket with no score on the board.

Ireland have won the toss and chosen to bowl. Zimbabwe have lost few early wickets, but the key player Raza makes his way of scoring. In ten overs Zimbabwe have scored 79 runs losing 4 wickets. The runrate is good but the fall of wickets will restrict Zimbabwe's scoring within 150 runs. Anything within 150 runs will be easily chased by Ireland. Lets see what is gonna happen in this match.

Zimbabwe are doing nice performance. Zimbabwe were able to score 141 runs after losing 5 wickets. However, the whole achievement is Sikandar Raja. He was unbeaten on 71 runs by playing only 41 balls. If they can play well in the last 3 overs, then he is likely to make a century. But this is extremely difficult because he can't play all the balls. Hopefully they will be able to make a big score today.

Sikandar Raja was a very responsible batsman in this match. Sikandar Raja played a big role in advancing the Zimbabwe team by scoring huge. Sikandar Raja, the popular batsman of Zimbabwe team, scored 82 runs from 48 balls. Sekandar Raja's shots were excellent he hit 5 boundaries and five fours Zimbabwean batsman Luke Jongwe also played well Zimbabwe team players played with consistency so this win is theirs

Now's the time to introduce Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe's running machine. With his individual performance, Zimbabwe registered their highest total, 174/7, and defeated Ireland comfortably. Raza played a magnificent knock, and his consistency can be a major factor in his team's success in the T20 World Cup.

Bad start for Namibia. A target of 121 runs can be easily chased. Netherland were able to chase in their last match 111 runs but this time they need to chase 10 extra runs which I think will be difficult considering the bowling performance of Namibia against Srilanka where they were able to defeat Srilanka by 55 runs.

After Zimbabwe were set a target of 175 runs, it was almost certain that Zimbabwe would win this match. I know that the batting line-up of the Ireland team is strong. Even then it is very difficult to win on a pitch that bats against 175 runs. The performance of Zimbabwe's bowlers is quite commendable. Another turning point in this match was Striling's wicket taken early in the match. With Striling at the crease, it would have been difficult for Zimbabwe to win this match. Zimbabwe's batsmen as well as bowlers have performed well. My guess is that Zimbabwe will be able to qualify for the main round of the World Cup.

Sri Lanka in the last match has been largely criticized in the cricket world who defeated by Namibia. If Namibia can perform well in today's match, it would be an advantage for them. But scoring so low may not fulfill that dream. They just able to collect 121 runs which is not sufficient to wining this match ‍against Ireland. T20 cricket anything can possible, we have to wait for the last moment.

Both Namibia's batsmen and bowlers performed well against Sri Lanka. They were able to restrict Sri Lanka's experienced batsmen to just 108 runs. The bowler had an excellent performance against Sri Lanka. But today against Netherlands their performance is very poor from the beginning of the match. They collected only 121 runs in 20 overs. On a pitch that should have scored at least 140 runs to win. Netherlands batsmen are playing very carefully. They lost 4 wickets and collected 102 runs. Now Netherlands need 20 runs from 24 balls to win. If they don't lose wickets they will win easily. With Baas de Leede out, it will be difficult for the Netherlands to collect these 20 runs.

[romero121]

Netherlands have won the match by 5 wickets and 3 balls left. The match was predicted to be a win for Netherlands, during the mid overs consecutive wicket fall happened. This gave little hope to Namibia to try their best. At the end it was Bas de Leede won it for Netherlands. There is good contribution from the openers Singh and O'Dowd. With this win Netherlands have increased its chances of reaching the Super 12. Namibia should've scored atleast 150 runs.
