T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

West Indies vs India
  In the team match I thought that India will perform well in this match and win the match. India lost this match due to the bad performance of the batsmen of the team. The run target that West Indies first put into the field could have been easily exceeded by the Indian team.I did not understand that the batsman of the Indian team, Ishan Kishan, will bat so badly. Ishan Kishan got out with 9 runs in 6 balls. Although the words of the Indian team are good, India lost very badly in batting. It is very sad that India lost the match for 4 runs.

I predicted in another thread that West Indies is a good side in T20Is. They have the ability to beat any team on their day. Pooran and Rovman Powell played well and posted a good total on the board. But, it was chasable for India as well. The winning margin is not too big. They were almost there. So I would say it was bad luck.
Indian opening pair failed to play well. Only Tilak Varma was outstanding with the bat. But it's a hard job for a single batter to win the match. He needed some support from another side as well. But others were maintaining a 100 strike rate only.

The T20 match between West Indies and India has been extremely competitive. But India's loss to West Indies is really ridiculous, I think some of the matches India lose are because of their arrogance. However, if the Indian batsmen were a little more careful, this match could have been secured.

If you observe, you can definitely see that the Indian team completely fell apart after Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill got out. Because the opening batsmen did not do the team any favors as they put the team under a lot of pressure by getting out early. Later, only the fall of wickets is seen, those who performed well in the previous matches, came to T20 and performed very poorly. Especially in the ODI matches, the Indian team could do some good things for the team even if they were few in number. But in the T20I match, the Indian team could not meet the West Indies' short run. Because the Indian team failed to win despite trying hard.

The performance of the opening pair is very important in the T20 format. However, it is my belief that the subpar showing of the Indian batsmen cannot be solely attributed to Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill's struggles.. Indian batsmen's performance is erratic as we have been witnessing for a long time. There is no batsman in the squad who is capable of consistently performing well. The performance of every player in the squad has been erratic. And Indian management is not able to solve this problem. They have made several changes in the squad, but their performances have not been consistent. Examining the last two ODI matches, the second encounter showcased a woeful display by the Indian batsmen, while the preceding match witnessed a resounding victory with a margin of 200 runs. Consequently, the Indian batsmen must strive for enhanced consistency in their performances. Batsmen need to be more patient.

It was a close contest and after losing both openers for 28 runs there is partnership of 39 runs between SKY and Tilak Varma. There were two players from India side that made there debut in yesterday game - Tilak Varma and Mukesh Kumar. Its a good opening game for Tilak as he scored 39 runs on just 22 balls that include 3 sixes. Still 4 more games to be played and India can still make a strong come back.

India was on 113/4 at one point. It was looking like India was actually going to win the match quite easily in the end. But right at that moment, Hardik Pandya got out. And I have to give credit to the West Indies because they did very well to actually get Sanju Samson out. The throw was really good and I don’t think Sanju Samson actually expected it. He was running like he had already thought that the West Indies player was going to miss. But obviously the West Indies team did very well in this match.

I also agree with @Swordsoffreedom that if India was a little more patient, they could have easily won the match. India lost five wickets trying to get 31 runs. (113-144). The consistency is not there from India.

16^th over was the turn of the match. Wickets of Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson happened, the worse thing it was a maiden over from Jason Holder. Consecutive overs didn't see big score and in the final over 10 runs required to win the match and the team was unable to reach the target resulting in a 4 runs win for West Indies team. Next match scheduled for tomorrow and we can expect better performance coming from India team.

In the first T20 of 5 matches series, the Indian team was badly defeated by the West Indies team. Despite having some good cricketers of IPL they lost the first match. They lost the match by just 4 runs while playing the target of 150 runs. It was not very difficult for the Indian team to score 150 runs but they could not settle on the pitch. The failure of top order Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill could not be recovered by any other player. As a result, India lost to the West Indies team.

Despite the failure of the openers the middle order played fairly well. In the loss of wickets that amidst the scoring is the reason for the loss. The score kept coming randomly, but in someway te requirement is almost levelled. The wicket fall was unfavorable and finally India team wasn't able to win the match. Even in the last over India had got fair opportunity to win the match, but the tail end players aren't good enough to chase and reach the target.

Anyone following the Global T20 Canada? First we had the Qualifier match between Surrey Jaguars and Vancouver Knights. Surrey Jaguars made a decent total of 139/9, thanks to good contributions from Iftikhar Ahmed and Ayaan Khan. Ruben Trumpelmann took two wickets and Junaid Siddique picked up four. In return, Knights got bowled out for just 101. Matthew Forde took 4 wickets, and Sandeep Lamichhane chipped in with the wicket of Ravinderpal Singh. During the eliminator match, Montreal Tigers won against Brampton Wolves. The second qualifier will be played today, between Montreal Tigers and Vancouver Knights.

West Indies VS India
The first match of the West Indies vs India T20 series has started today. West Indies won the toss and decided to bat. Already 4 overs have been played without taking any wicket and collected 29 runs. India is the top number one team in T20 ranking. India bowling line and batting line is better than West Indies. India has more chances to win than West Indies in today's match. I think India will win the match today.

West Indies played well early in the game when it looked like they would set a good target to India but they gave away the target of 149 runs.  India too are not playing well today they have lost 3 wickets for 69 runs.  Shubman Gill was a good player but got out for just 3 runs. India need 75 more runs in 9 overs which is not a big challenge.  Collecting this run is possible for any good team so I think India will not fail in this case

Once after the innings of West Indies thought 149 an easy target for India. The end result of the match is really disappointing and completely unexpected. West Indies have won the match by 4 runs and India was able to score 145/9 in 20 overs. The middle order somehow managed to stand wicket, but that hadn't lasted till the end. No solid performance other than Tilak Varma scoring 39 runs from 22 balls. West Indies team needs to be appreciated to defend with such a low score. Hope this series would be a win for West Indies if India continues to play this way and this is the outcome of over confidence.

No one thought that India would lose such an easy match as West Indies set India a target of very few runs. but India could not complete that target. this is ridiculous. a good player like Shubman Gill also played very badly in yesterday's match. India can win very tough matches but they played yesterday's match very carelessly as West Indies were targeted for very less runs but India lost this match. I did not expect such a game

It's really a shame for India to lose. If the target for India was 200 plus, if India lost, there would not have been so much criticism about this team, but not being able to score only 150 runs must be called a disappointing performance for India. No matter how well the young cricketers are playing, senior cricketers must be considered in making a complete team whereas BCCI did not consider any senior cricketers for this series. In the first T20 against the West Indies, with the batting lineup that India arranged for the XI, before the start of the match, I thought for sure that India would win the first match, but India performed like a weak team.

India may have thought it too easy and are playing carefree. India behaved like Bangladesh in yesterday's match.  Bangladesh is also a good team but they often lose easy matches. It is really surprising that why this happens is it the luck of the opposition or India's misfortune. Although a win is not guaranteed in the game any team can win a match but when a team like India loses such an easy match it is very hard to accept.

An opponent should never be taken lightly, no matter how weak the opponent in front of you is you should always consider him a tough opponent. Considering a tough opponent, you have to plan well how to win against the opponent. 
India is an experienced enough team they shouldn't have made such a mistake. They took the opponent easy which was the main reason for their defeat. 

If you watch the second ODI match and the first T20 match, you will clearly understand the irresponsibility of the Indian batsmen in these two matches. 
Defeated in the first T20 match, India will consider West Indies as their opponent in the second T20 match. If the second T20 match takes West Indies as an easy opponent, there is a possibility that India will lose the second match as well.

You know, this t20 is total 5 matches series, so obviously India is in upper hand, they are really got a good chance to make a comeback and probably win the series. it is almost clear India will be the winner of this series, I really dont have any doubt about it, but did you notice West Indies seems to improving randomly?

I can see they just somehow managed to win the 2nd ODI really convincingly, they have also maaged to win the 1st t20 match also. I wouldn’t say that West Indies performed really well in these matches. But I would rather say that India performed very inconsistently in both of these matches. That has given West Indies the chance to win. I know India is not playing with their full strength. But still, the performance is pretty inconsistent at times from India.

Honestly, not following the global T-20 Canada very closely. But from what I have seen so far in the score, I can’t say that the tournament has been very entertaining for the most part. The quality is not at the top level. Improvements are certainly needed to be made. But what can I even say, there are not enough native players, actually not enough people in Canada probably interested in cricket right now. Canada could actually produce a lot of players if the people were more interested in cricket than LGBT bullshit.

Anyway, there have been a few matches played. It was pretty interesting to see till the end. Again I have not seen any matches from start to finish. I have just seen some clips from YouTube. I can say that the finish of some matches were interesting and pretty close. But the scores are just not enough. Need more fireworks.

Anybody noticed the T20 match going between Hungary and Croatia. Hungary have won the toss and decided to bat first. Team have scored 209/8 which is good score. Every player have contributed and the score have reached good. The schedule looks different that two T20 matches were played on the same day. As usual both the teams were also flooded with Asian cricketers, particularly Indians.

Hungary and Croatia are not very popular in cricket so people don't want to watch their cricket much and television and online sports broadcasting channels don't broadcast all these games.
HUN 209/8
CRO 64/10
Hungary Won by 145 runs.
Croatia's score also shows how popular the team is. It goes without saying that Croatia will lose today's match by a huge margin.
Yes but almost all the players of both teams are based in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and UAE. The cricket team of non popular countries is formed by the players of all these countries.

Hungary was able to win the match easily against Croatia. Hungary put on 209, which was honestly a big total for Croatia to chase down. And of course Hungary was able to win the match by a big difference. Croatia was all out for only 64. Which gave Hungary a big one of 145 runs. It was like Croatia was no match for Hungary. I am not a big follower of these teams. But that’s what I thought, looking at the score of this match.

And yes, I also agree that there is a problem with these type of teams, having too many Asian players in the squad.

Its a good opening game for Tilak as he scored 39 runs on just 22 balls that include 3 sixes. Still 4 more games to be played and India can still make a strong come back.

It was not a difficult chase for India, the openers failed miserably and Suryakumar Yadav was not in his usual form when he is in form and Tilak Varma was striking the ball but was foxed out looking for the same short for a slower ball and still the match was under India's control but back to back wickets of Hardik Pandya and then the run out of Sanju Samson took the match away from India.

Of course the first T20 match was completely dominated by India but due to some wrong decisions India lost the match to West Indies by four runs. But another important point is that if there are no senior players in the Indian squad then there are many wrong decisions by the Indian leadership. The match was forced to lose due to considerable failure especially by the top order batsmen. Apart from the only debutant batsman Tilak Varma, none of the other batsmen had any success in that match. Towards the end, Kuldeep Yadav, a senior bowler, scored three runs off a nine to send the team to a heavy defeat.

India Vs West Indies
Today will be the second match of West Indies vs India T20 series. India lost the first match due to poor batting. In the first match, West Indies scored 149 runs, India managed to score 145 runs and lost by 4 runs. West Indies received more support as they were playing at home. In today's match I think India will have more chances to win because India's bowling and batting line is better than West Indies. West Indies batting line is good but bowling line is a bit weak. However, West Indies will get a bit more support as they play at their home ground.

Last match was interesting. And I really enjoyed it. And today match will be interesting too. Because India will try to its best to win this match because India team already lost one match from three matches series. If India will lost this match so India will lost the series too. So India will try to its best to win this match. So I am so excited to watch this match.

Batting was a big concern for India in the first match. Apart from Tilak Varma, none of the other batsmen even got a start. Suryakumar Yadav struggled against the West Indian bowlers, and looked as if he hasn't adjusted to the ground conditions. For the second match, Yashasvi Jaiswal maybe brought in, replacing one of the spinners. Either Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal need to sit out. This will help them in reducing the length of the tail. During the first T20I, lower order didn't added much runs for India.

India needs to bat well in the 2nd T20 which will be played today at Providence. They cannot afford to lose another match and put themselves under a lot of pressure. The top order batsmen Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav needs to perform in this match as they failed in the last match.

Shubman Gill played for Gujarat Titans in this year's IPL and made 890 runs in 17 matches. He needs to get his form back and perform in a similar manner. India has high hopes from this young man.

This is a young team from India in T20. This team can be the main squad of India in the future. India has a lot of expectations around this team. But they are not performing at their best. Gill did not show any remarkable performance in this tour of West Indies. Just watching him play well in IPL. Yashasvi Jaiswal should be played instead in my opinion. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 625 runs in 14 matches in IPL. Suryakumar Yadav alone has the ability to turn the tide of the match. In today's second T20 match,India will enter the field with a change in the squad. Team India is well aware of the lack of experienced players like Rohit Sharma,Virat Kohli, Jadeja. I think India will make a good comeback today and they will win today's match to level the 5 match series 1-1.
