T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[og kush420]

India could not perform well in today's match due to which they lost to South Africa.India's batting line-up today was too poor to be enough for such a strong team.The Indian cricket team gave a game today that people were not ready to watch.South Africa's MarKram and Miller created excitement on the field in today's game and led South Africa to victory. Miller scored 59 off 46 balls and Markram scored 52 off 41 balls. And with the skill of both of them, South Africa defeated India and won.

the match was not interesting and from very beginning it was obvious that the India will loose the match
I think they were in no mood to win the match because they already are in the semi finals

I never imagined that India will play so badly in today's match. It is not at all expected that India will lose the match against South Africa in this match. India's two opening batsmen failed in today's match. As well as Virat Kohli and so on. If only these three batsmen could have scored some good runs for the team. Then India would not have lost the match like this. India's batsmen were decimated by South Africa's bowlers in today's match. I think it is a shame for India

South Africa seems to me to be one of the strongest teams in this World Cup. India's batting and fielding was very poor in today's match. If Suriya Kumar Yadav not played that innings, Team India might have been all out before making 100. India has problem with opening batsman. KL Rahul is performing very poorly in every match but still the management wants him to play in the next matches!

Now I will wait to see if South Africa can play the final or not.

Really true earlier i was thinking a final is probable between ind and NZ but after seeing RSA's performance against India my opinion has really changed. The problem is rains washed their matches so we couldn't see their full potential. I think now Pakistan which looks difficult but is the only threat to RSA otherwise they are through the semis.

South Africa showed their batting depth today. See how Miller executed his plan and ultimately won. I think South Africa really deserve to go to the final, even if they are champions it would not be a surprise. Yes their top order failed today but the middle order handled it responsibly. Only one player who does not fit in this team is Temba Bavuma. He may not even know why he is in this team. His ability to play a shot is not visible from his bat, so he plays only in the captain's quota?

The target was not very big. However, South Africa lost wickets at the beginning of the innings. The first 3 batsmen of the top order did not play well. The collection of the first 3 batsmen was only 11 runs. Still, South Africa won due to excellent and responsible performances by Markram and David Miller. The top-order players needed to bat more responsibly. If the top order doesn't perform well then I don't think South Africa will be able to qualify for the finals. South African team players are in good form now. Now they just need the top-order players to perform more carefully.

After losing ODI and twenty series in India no one was caring about this team South Africa, but now they are talk of the town just after two matches which they won by good way and now leading their group which mean right now they are favorite for reaching into last four spot and having chance of winning title as well.

Because these Aussies conditions are helping their batting and bowling good, and they are doing good job in their matches now they have just one big challenge before going into last four Pakistan which is also like them unpredictable but here most chances this time they will be able to handle them with their quality bowling and batting which could be good for them and their chances to stay at the top and have better match in last four.

The players had a plan and executed well without flaw. They waited for the right moment and started to take control of the match. India missed the scoring, but they managed to bowl well to some extent. Beyond that they weren't able to do things as predicted. A big win for South Africa, and always South Africa used to be unlucky to reach the finals out of some situation. Lets wait and see what's gonna happen.

South Africa has been doing pretty well in this World Cup and they are a bit lucky. The win against India was the most important match on the group stage for South Africa. And I would say the outstanding performance of the bowlers is why South Africa managed to win. Because India's batting line-up is very strong. It was not easy to restrict India to just 133 runs. A good performance by the bowlers made it easy for South Africa to win the match.

I am still confused why did India play Deepak Hooda yesterday? He is an all rounder which mean he could  bowl too then why wasn't he given a chance by Rohit Sharma? Rishab Panth should be given an opportunity the team management can either drop KL Rahul or Dinesh Karthik they both are struggling. India's problem is the opening pair since they have not been performing the pressure goes down. It was evident in yesterday's match. If Surya Kumar Yadav had not performed then the target could have been less than 100 runs.

Ireland won the toss and decided to bowl. On the first ball of Ireland's third over, Australian opening batsman David Warner fell. Barry McCarthy managed to take the second wicket during 8.1 overs of play. But still I think Australia team's batting performance is very good. Because Australia has collected 108 runs by losing 3 wickets in 14 overs so far. If Australia play can hold on like this, Australia's score will be 170

Batting first in this match, Australia scored 179 runs.  Aaron Finch played great in this match.  He scored 63 runs off 44 balls.  Ireland's bowlers did not bowl very well in this match.  I thought Australia would not be able to score 150 runs in this match.  But poor performance by Ireland bowlers led to so many runs.  If Ireland can bat well in this match, Ireland may have a chance to win.  Ireland doesn't seem to win this match today.

South Africa's performance before the World Cup was not good. But in the two matches of the World Cup, they played very well against India and Bangladesh. The performance of their bowlers against India is very commendable.
But if South Africa wants to win the title then their batsmen need to play better. Although South Africa won against India, the performance of their top-order batsmen was very poor. If the top order does not play well in important matches then it becomes very difficult to win the match. So if South Africa aims to be champions, then their top-order players need to play responsibly. And strive to consistently perform well. South Africa's bowlers have been performing well, now if their top order is able to play well then South Africa will undoubtedly be one of the favorites to win the title.

I never thought that Ireland would be a challenge for Australia. Australia is a far better team and at the moment they are crushing Ireland for the NRR. I was expecting Stoinis to repeat his performance but he got out for just 35. Finch played a very sensible innigs.

Ireland won the toss and invited Australia to bat first. Despite opening batsman David Warne's fall early in batting, Australia performed well with the bat. Australian team captain Aaron Finch played very well. Aaron finch scored 63 off 44 balls. Australia ended the game with 179 runs in 20 overs. Ireland got a target of 180 runs from the Australian batsmen. Starting batting with a target of 180 runs, Ireland has collected 95 runs for 7 wickets in 13 overs so far. Let's see how much success the Island can bring to the end of the game

Australia vs Ireland in T20 World Cup.  Ireland will bat in the second innings with a target of 180 runs given by Australia. Ireland's captain Bal Barney and opener Paul Stirling are quite good batsmen. The chances of Ireland winning the match depends on these two opening batsmen. Also, Ireland's middle order batsmen are in good form. If Ireland's batsmen can easily deal with Australia's pacers, Ireland will be in control of the match. Let's see what the result is in the end.

I think Australia will take the lead in todays match - Ireland team might not able to win this match
180 is a big score - although they have some good batman but pressure is high and Australia itself wont let the match go off their hand

Although Ireland's captain Bal Barney and opener Paul Stirling failed to decent score, Lorcan Tucker fought persistently until the end. Ireland couldn't reach the target, despite Lorcan Tucker's best efforts, as Australia claimed their second victory! It's pure dominance on the part of the Aussies. I was so disappointed in Tucker's behavior. Their situational awareness seemed lacking. Having the presence of mind would have kept them in the hunt.

It was assumed that Australia would win the match against Ireland. Australia defeated Ireland by 42 runs with a target of 179 runs. With this win, Australia is at the 2nd position in the points table. On the other hand, Ireland have won 1 out of 4 matches and staying in 4th position of the points table. However, in Super 12 Group 1 New Zealand have taken the top place until today.

Australia scored a lot of runs in this match.  However, Australia's Aaron Finch scored the most runs in this match.  Bowlers have the biggest role behind winning this match.  Australia's bowlers bowled well.  Ireland lost by many runs in this match. Ireland performed very poorly from the beginning. However, Ireland bowled a little better at first but then bowled very badly.

The Indian Squad for the upcoming Newzealand series has been announced

Virat Kholi, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have been rested. Hardik Pandya is the Captain and Rishab Panth is the Vice captain. Interesting to see Hardik being selected as a Captain of the Indian side.

When Australia scored 179 runs, there was no chance that Ireland can chase this big target and it was obvious that Australia would win the match.  Captain Aaron Finch from Australia took the lead from the front and scored 63 runs in only 44 balls.

This was a very important win for Australia and they are now at number 2 on the points table.  There will a tough competition between NZ, Australia and England. Any two of them could reach the semi finals.

Again those who need to play more and regain their form are being rested primarily, KL Rahul. Many emerging talents are in this team, and I was happy to see Rishab Panth given an opportunity to lead in case Hardik is unavailable in this T20I series. I am still not happy with the Indian team management for not selecting him in the T20WC.

Easy win for Australia against Ireland. This was a batting pitch and I thought Ireland could actually get a lot closer to that target. But the problem is they did not have any meaningful partnership at all. Only one player, Tucker, played well for Ireland on the batting side. No one else was able to support him at all in this match. Ultimately, it ended up being an easy win for Australia as they won by 42 runs. This has also improved the net run rate of Australia quite significantly. Aaron Finch with the help of Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis gave Australia a very good total in the first innings.

I am still confused why did India play Deepak Hooda yesterday? He is an all rounder which mean he could  bowl too then why wasn't he given a chance by Rohit Sharma? Rishab Panth should be given an opportunity the team management can either drop KL Rahul or Dinesh Karthik they both are struggling. India's problem is the opening pair since they have not been performing the pressure goes down. It was evident in yesterday's match. If Surya Kumar Yadav had not performed then the target could have been less than 100 runs.

Honestly, after watching the match the only thing I am willing to say is I am not so sure about the team selection being wrong. The only thing that comes to my mind, again and again, is the Gamble which was taken by Rohit Sharma by giving the ball to Ashwin.

Two sixes at the start of that over absolutely took the match away from India.

People might argue that India still had a chance but that was the biggest turning point of the match. That made South Africa take things very easy from that point. No, I am not saying that the selections were all good. Unfortunately, in the end, it came down to some wrong captaincy.
