T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[BobK71]

India women lost the match but I would say they performed well. 188 is definitely a big score. In the beginning, they perform with a little disaster while trying to achieve that goal, but in the middle that make heavier. No one could believe they would make the distance closer.  They were doing so well at the end, if they did a little better it might not have been too difficult to win the match. Richa Ghosh's performance in particular really captivated me. In the terrible situation she led the team with a strike rate of 210 at that point.

It was a tough match for Indian bowlers but the batters entertained the spectators and fought really well, scoreboard will tell you a complete story.

I reckon Devika Vaidya's dropped catch was a tactical drop  lol. India could've been in a better place if fielder magically hold on to that catch, it was a tough chance but it did work in their favor as she was batting slowly.

India could've won the match if the openers have lasted on the crease making good opening partnership. The same getting carried forward will ease the match. However the middle order have done their job in a perfect way. Losing by small margin will keep them confident and push forward to win the upcoming match against Australia Women though the series is being already won by Australia Women.

It was a close match for Australia. Australia did very well in the first innings. They scored a lot of runs toward the end. Ellyse Perry played very well for Australia. She was playing very attacking cricket from the start. That helped Australia to get to a very good total.

India played well. They just could not get to the target. India just started the second innings badly. Otherwise, I think they could have reached the target. I can say that the middle order had to play with caution because they had to think about keeping wickets in hand. Australia has already won the series. And I have to say Australia is playing really well and is always one step ahead of the Indian women.

Ellyse Perry in Australian women's cricket is what Joe Root is for England in men's cricket. She is their superstar. Australian women are having a big advantage over the Indian women, because the most competitive women's league is being played in their country (WBBL). The BCCI needlessly delayed the launch of WIPL, and therefore most of the Indian women doesn't have this advantage. The last match of this series will be played today at Brabourne and Australia are up 3-1 till now (one match was tied and won by India during super over).

5th T20 India Women vs Australia Women Australia Women came out to bat in this match of two teams. They scored 57 runs in 8 overs. But Australia Women lost 3 wickets. India Women started to perform well in bowling. Shafali Verma of India Women said.  1 over bowled and took 1 wicket with 8 runs. Australia Women could not score very good runs in batting. But if Australia Women can score like 140 runs then Australia Women will have a big chance to win.

Indian women managed to pick up a few crucial wickets this time, but Australia looks set for a big total, probably in the range of 160-180. Australia are at 84/4 after 12 overs, with Grace Harris and Ashleigh Gardner at crease. Indian bowlers were economical today, with the exception of Deepti Sharma. Renuka Singh bowled well, although she failed to get any wickets. The outcome of this match doesn't hold much significance, since Australia is already up by 3-1. But even a 3-2 result would be good for the Indian women, as it would boost their morale.

The India women's team kept Australia in control at the beginning. But after 10 overs, the Australian team started aggressive batting. Both the new batsmen are set on the pitch. Grace Harris and Ashleigh Gardner perform brilliantly. Grace Harris is the top scorer in today's match with 41 runs off 21 balls. Along with Ashleigh Gardner who is also unbeaten on 30 off 18 balls. Looking at the style of play, it looks like India might lose today's match by a big scoring margin. Australia scored 148 in 16 overs. Total 200 runs in the remaining 4 overs is easy very easy task for them. Today the last match of the series may be India will be able to chase a big score.

[Sithara007]

Once again, a shitty show from the Indian women. They had Australia at 84/4 in 12 overs. But then Ashleigh Gardner and Grace Harris scored 112 runs from just 8 overs, to take Australia to a massive total of 196/4. Everyone got the stick, including Renuka Singh, Anjali Sarvani, Deepti Sharma and Devika Vaidya. The Indian bowlers looked quite clueless in the last 8 overs. Brabourne Stadium do have large boundaries, but despite that it was showering sixes and fours when Gardner and Harris was batting out there. This series is going to end up at 4-1.

Australia Women batted first and scored really amazing runs. I thought Australia Women would score 140 runs batting first but I was really wrong. Australia Women batted first and gave India Women a target of 197 runs. Now we have to watch  Can India Women overcome this run and win?

I followed the Aussie women's batting performance on my newsfeed.

Can you believe how badly they smashed the Indian bowlers? Women's Australia go from 67/4 to 196/4

A total of 197 runs is needed for the Indian women to win, with a run rate of over 10 per over. As long as they continue, Indian women batters may get the total. It's T20, so anything is possible.

The big failure of India team was that they could not make any more wickets fall after the fourth wicket. Their runs increased so much in the last 10 overs where the Indian team was defeated. After taking 4 wickets i thought today's match might be won. But I forgot about Australia's devastating batting. They also reminded us that As of lately Australia is one of the best women's cricket team in the world. The performance of women cricketers in Australia and New Zealand has been admirable in recent times. No teams have the ability to beat them in this secession.

I think right now, the BCCI has understood that they need to give women’s IPL the recognition, and money that they need. Actually, I am happy that they have realized women’s IPL should be happening.

If women’s IPL had already happened a few times, I believe right now the Indian women’s cricket team would have been at the same level as Australia's and England's women’s teams. But that did not happen. If the BCCI was not so much ignorant of the potential that the Indian women’s cricket team has, probably they wouldn’t have lost against Australia in the series.

Right now, Australian women's team is ruling like we have Australian men's few years back they have superior quality and skilled bowlers and batting line up which is big difference for the team like India, but one thing is sure we will keep high hopes because these can change the ranks and bring good success here now BCCI is late but still good at least now they are starting this all, and we will be able to have WIPL in next few months which will bring good entertainment and other aspects for these players.

In that match we have first 100 from Australia in 12.5 overs and after this Ashleigh Gardner and Grace Harris have amazing partnership which change the match momentum and India lost this match here in these seven overs because after having target like this 197 they started batting which was never been easy and losing wickets regularly never allowed them to play freely.

Indian Women's lost this series badly but many positive aspects still happen as these women's have faced a quality team which is full of skills and consistency which is good for them because now after this series these will feel better and have confidence to go at their best in next matches and now as we are heading for the WIPL which will give more experience and better technique from other players will also help these women's needs more match practice and experience.

I check mostly they have done good in early overs but sadly fail to retain batsmen in last few overs which mostly change the momentum of the match like we have in last match in early 12 overs very good bowling but suddenly in last 8 overs we have more than 100 runs which bring huge pressure and lost the match and series hopefully in near future things could be better, and we will be able to have better results.

I don't know how much we can blame on the absence of the WIPL. Because a number of Indian players do take part in foreign franchise leagues, such as Women's BBL and Women's Hundred. I am talking about players such as Jemimah Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Pooja Vastrakar. The way Indian women let the game out of their hand yesterday was simply unpardonable. They were conceding around 15 runs per over during the last powerplay. Captaincy was poor and the fielding also broke down completely.

I agree and I also have same question we can't just blame WIPL for that. India lost the series 4-1, narrowly avoiding a whitewash against Australia.  I saw weakness in their batting. In most of the matches I have seen in this series, their opening batsmen have failed the Australian women. Specially Smriti Mandhana mostly failed in every match. So blaming only WIPL will not be right .

[Sithara007]

WIPL may increase the player pool for the Indian women's team. Compared to the men's team, there is still a lack of depth. Almost a dozen Indian players have franchise T20 experience, but apart from these players the domestic players are not up to the international standard. WIPL may bridge the gap between these two sets of players. But even the first group of players performed pathetically this time. It's true that they were up against one of the strongest teams in women's cricket. But what about the home advantage? The way they surrendered meekly yesterday was shocking.

Australia, England and Newzealand are the top 3 teams in women T20 ranking. Indian women team is ranked fourth on that list. Yes, a long way to go but definitely not a bad start for women cricket. Give them a few more years and they would also be ranking on the top and then you can thank the WIPL. Even though India women lost the home series but they were able to pull crowd to the stadium. Which was very rare earlier all thanks to the commendable performance by the girls in the last few years.

Yeah.. one of the positives have been the massive crowds that the series managed to attract. 45,238 people attended the second T20I match between Indian women and Australian women, which was staged at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Ashleigh Gardner of Australia also described the crowd as the second largest she has ever witnessed. What we need is continued support from the BCCI. I have a feeling that the focus from BCCI is still not there, despite all the big talk about pay parity and starting the WIPL.
