T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Tony116]

Virat Kohli has really batted admirably. He played a key role in India's victory. However, Pakistan's bowling almost led India to defeat, but due to no balls and wide balls in the last over, Indian batsmen were able to win the match. But I would like to see India vs Pakistan match again.

The turning point of match was two sixes by Haris in his last over. Never give spinner the last over and that's the biggest mistake of baber. Anyways its very interesting match and both teams played very well and in the end there is one winner which was India this time.

Australia lost against New Zealand badly then we have another match where Afghanistan lost against England but no one talk about mistakes and things which happen during these matches because peoples love this game and enjoy.
snip

No one talked because everyone consider Afghanistan as a team like Bangladesh.
Honestly, I think Afghanistan has improved a lot in a short time of playing cricket. The situation of Afghanistan and Bangladesh are almost the same. Both teams have a few players who are absolutely world-class but the other players in the team are not very dependable in any circumstances. But I think Afghanistan is a team that has shown improvement even with all the political problems going on in their country. They have fought even through war. Obviously, if we compare Afghanistan with England or Australia we will see that there is a big difference. Afghanistan will have to perform as a team and both batting and bowling units will have to perform to get the desired result.

17th Match T20 World Cup Super-12 Group-2. After a long time, today's match saw the victory of Bangladesh against the Netherlands. The Bangladesh team batted first, giving the Netherlands a target of 145 runs for 8 wickets. Netherlands lost 2 wickets at the start of the game in order to meet the target. And Netherlands under pressure from Bangladesh bowlers. Netherlands was not able to overcome the pressure of Bangladesh team bowlers. Bangladesh team has performed much better in bowling than batting. I think taskin ahmed's brilliant bowling is the reason why Bangladesh won today. Bangladesh won by 9 runs against Netherlands in today's match

I thought this to be a win for Netherlands. The target scores were good, and easy for Netherlands. But they missed by a small margin. The fall of wickets is the major problem which made Netherlands loss the match. Pakistan doesn't have big improvement in performance.

The match between South Africa and Zimbabwe in their first Super-12 match in the T20 World Cup is stopped due to rain. As soon as the rain stops, the match will be played on the field. South Africa will enter the field as the favorite in terms of strength. Zimbabwe is expected to put up a fight on its day. South Africa's David Miller can make the difference, while Sikandar Raja is also in excellent form. However, if the two umpires declare the match abandoned due to rain. Then both teams will get equal points. In that case, although Zimbabwe will benefit, it will be disappointing for South Africa. Waiting for the match to end on the field...

South Africa was unlucky to draw with Zimbabwe because the rain did not let the match finish. Even the match was reduced to 9 overs a side but still it was not possible for the match to complete as the rain hit hard and no more play was possible.

Today we have one match to be played between Srilanka and Australia. Australia lose their first game and this match is very important for them to win in order to survive in this T20 WC.  

Australia with 1.19 odds are too much favorites to win.

We'll see more similar results in the upcoming days. These matches will finally make a big change in the points table moving forward to the next round of matches. Another thing, if this has happened with the India vs Pakistan match this could've been big disappointment.

With Australia vs Sri Lanka, the odds are in favour of Australia. Sri Lanka have reached the Super 12 through hard fight and it isn't that good in its performance. I'm sure this going to be a win for Australia. However at times Sri Lanka used to perform better, so the match is on my watch list.

[Sithara007]

Surprised to see such one-sided odds. Are we forgetting the fact that this is T20 format? We all saw how Australia performed against New Zealand during the previous match. And yesterday Netherlands came so close to defeating Bangladesh. It shows how unpredictable this format is. Australia may be having an upper hand, but that doesn't warrant such one-sided odds. It may make more sense to have such odds in the ODI or test formats. But definitely not right for the T20 format, where the results are extremely difficult to predict.

A bounce-back performance is sure to be expected from host Australia against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is in hot form, and Australia needs to win this game. There will be an interesting match, but the odds should not be so lopsided. In the event that Australia loses to Sri Lanka today, the team will be eliminated from the tournament. For this reason, betting companies have put greater trust in Australia to win against Sri Lanka and have made Australia the clear favorite.

I am putting Australia ahead of Sri Lanka in this match. I am very excited for this match, I want to see how Australia return to their form and how Sri Lanka maintain their form. But I want to keep Australia ahead in all aspects, because they have world-class players in their team. Who can return to form at any time

Australia need to win in today's match and Sri Lanka will not give up. But naturally Sri Lanka is a much weaker team than Australia. It is very much difficult to win Sri Lanka by defeating Australia. But if something like that happens in today's match, Australia must face the danger. I think Australia will fight hardly to win the match for their existence in world cup. Australia have lost one match and their position at the bottom of the points table while Sri Lanka is at the 2nd position in Super 12 Group 1 with a win.

If we compare the two squads then it is easy to say that the Australian team is stronger. But in the first match, the Australian team lost badly against New Zealand. The Australian team was able to collect only 111 runs. They batted very badly.
On the other hand, the Sri Lankan team performed very well in the Asia Cup. Both Sri Lanka and Australia's performances are erratic now. The Sri Lankan squad is not weak. Sri Lankan players have the ability to perform well against Australia as well. I guess the match will be competitive. However, since Australia's pacers are better than Sri Lanka's, Australia's chances of winning are high.

Sri Lanka won their last match by a big margin, while Australia lost theirs by a similar margin. We can say that the momentum is with Sri Lanka. Australia has so far failed to utilize the home advantage. If Sri Lanka wins the toss and elects to bat first, then we can expect their batsmen to put up a big total (probably 180 plus). And given the vulnerability of Australian batsmen against spin, it is going to be extremely difficult for them to chase this target. But all that can change, if David Warner or Aaron Finch comes back to form.

Bangladesh vs Netherlands, 17th Match, Super 12 Group 2 has started. In this match Netherlands has won the toss and decided to bowl. Now Bangladesh is batting but Bangladesh has lost 2 wickets so far.  Bangladesh scored 57 runs in 8 overs. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 25 runs off 20 balls. And Soumya Sarkar scored 14 runs off 14 balls.

It is absolutely foolish to expect the victory of the Bangladesh team from the performance that the players of the Bangladesh team are showing.  Bangladesh team's opener batting Liton Das has already departed.  Nazmul Hasan Shanto collects 25 runs off 20 balls.  Shakib Al Hasan, who is the hope of Bangladesh team, left the match today after collecting 9 runs from 7 balls.  Such a game is not what one would expect from a good player.  So far the team run of Bangladesh team is...
93/5 (13.3)

Despite all the odds, the Bangladesh team managed to win this match. At one stage I also thought that Bangladesh would not make enough runs but they still managed to get 144 runs.

Ireland did not bat well and could not chase this small score. All of them bowled out quickly except Colin Ackermann who made 62 runs, but he cannot win the match alone. He did not get any support from the other end. Taskin took four wickets in this match and got the man of the match.

Thanks to the Bangladesh team, they won the match tomorrow despite all the odds. After 15 years, Bangladesh won the main stage of T20 World Cup. Bangladesh got off to a good start in the World Cup with a nine-run defeat in the Netherlands. Later if Bangladesh can do better then Bangladesh will gain more reputation.

As Bangladesh has been performing erratically in recent times, I thought that Bangladesh will not win any match in this World Cup. But Bangladesh won the first match. They played well. Although the performance of the batsmen is not good, the performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers is excellent. Bangladesh won because of Taskin's brilliant bowling. Bangladeshi players are very confident now. However, if the Bangladeshi batsmen cannot play well in the upcoming matches, then the Bangladesh team will not be able to win any match.

My sincere congratulations to the Bangladesh team. They won the T20 World Cup basically after 15 years. I saw the members of the Bangladesh team cheering for their victory tomorrow. Bangladesh team has performed very well in tomorrow's game. Bangladesh has been selected as a very strong team in this World Cup.

@CryptoBuds if they continue to perform so poorly then they’ll definitely crash out early, but if they manage to show some resilience then they could probably cause one or two upsets. Furthermore I’m not expecting them to make it to the semis, and thus my advice is to wager against them if you get decent odds on the opposite team.

[pakhitheboss]

Australia  won the toss and welcomed Sri Lanka to bat. Hopefully we can enjoy today's match well as the weather is favorable. Only 2 minutes left for the match to start. I have selected Sri Lanka as favorite team in today's match, and bet for Sri Lanka. Let's see how much my favorite team can fight for victory

The amount of swing this pitch is generating will affect Srilanka's ability to set a big target. I would say a target of 150+ would be competitive enough. The worst part is that Srilanka has already lost their in form batter Kushal Mendis. They need to form a partnership and go after bad balls rather than trying to hit every ball out of the boundary.

These odds sometimes really confuse us. Check the current situation of the match, Srilanka has wickets in their hands and they can easily make 150+ score which can be a good score and Australia will need to bat well in order to chase it.



These are the current odds for both teams. I believe Srilanka has a good chance of winning this match or making it a very competitive score in the first innings but the bookies still want Australia to be the favorites.

Sri Lanka is in dire straits at the moment. Losing 4 wickets, Sri Lanka's team's run collection at the moment is 106 runs in 15 overs. Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure at the moment.  Australia can never be beaten with a target of 150 runs. We already know that Australia is a very strong team. To win against Australia, Sri Lanka must give a target of 180 runs only then Sri Lanka can win against Australia.

[YinShuiSiYuan]

Kushal Mendis leaving the field at the beginning of the match. Totally unexpected for the fans of the Sri Lankan team. I thought Kushal Mendis will perform well in today's match. But Kushal Mendis failed to maintain that form. But it is disappointing for the Sri Lankan team, Sri Lankan team has better batsmen. It is expected that the rest of the batsmen will fight with great responsibility to win the match. Australia will have to give a big target to win today's match.

Start of the match was in favour of Sirlankan team ,after that Australia pick up the pace with quick wickets . Right now match is thrilling Sirlanka is on 140 runs 6 wickets 19m2 overs.
They will give approximately 160 runs in their first innings a good target.

[Sithara007]

Both Aaron Finch and David Warner seems to be struggling against the Sri Lankan bowlers. And at this point, it is the pacers who are in the attack (Lahiru Kumara and Chamika Karunaratne). I don't have much hopes from the Lankan pacers, and is more interested to see how the Australian batsmen will fare against the spinners. BTW, the Lankan keeper is doing a poor job, and has conceded a number of byes. I could see the frustration in the face of Lahiru. BTW, waiting for the introduction of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dhananjaya de Silva. The outcome will be decided by the Lankan spinners.

In order for Srilanka to win this match, they need to take consistent wickets throughout the match. The target is not so big but at the same time, it is not so small.
A score of 150-160 is something that both teams will reckon that they can win this match. A partnership for Australia can take them to victory while one or two quick wickets for Srilanka can make them feel good in the match.
