T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[LDL]

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.

Indian cricketers have performed amazingly in IPL especially Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, these three batsmen have performed amazingly. But IPL and national team game are not same but there are many variations here. It has been seen in the past that many good players have been dropped from the team due to not performing well after getting a chance in the national team despite doing well in the IPL.
Coming to the topic, in today's 2nd T20 match, India will perform well and expect India to win today's match. But if the team's top order batsmen don't perform well today, they will have to accept defeat just like the first match and they will have to answer to the team management for this.

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.

West Indies are down and out in test and ODI but remain competitive in T20 format of the game. Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo who are performing too good in T20 leagues are not part of west indies T20I squad and that's something strange. For India its a must win game to remain in the series otherwise it will be difficult to make a come back in this series.

To my surprise, India has started badly in this 2nd ODI too and they are two down for only 27 runs. Shubman Gill was caught and bowled by Joseph while Suryakumar Yadav was run out by a direct hit. India needs some good partnerships now to recover from this situation.

However, if you see the current odds of the match, they are still pretty even which shows that bookies still believe that India will come back in the match.

India vs West Indies 2nd T20 match India is going to bat. India has already lost 2 wickets in today's match which is not good at all for India but under a lot of pressure. Looking at the state of play of India's batsmen today, it seems that they have started batting in a very disappointing manner due to which they have lost wickets early in the game. India is under a lot of pressure especially due to the dismissal of two of India's best batsmen Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill. But if the two batsmen who are currently at the crease can play the game then they can definitely take the team forward. India still have enough wickets so if Indian batsmen bat well without getting frustrated then maybe 130 runs will be possible. India batsmen must proceed cautiously as West Indies put on a brilliant bowling performance.

India is playing the second T20I match today. India have lost two wickets and I think it is a very bad sign to lose early wickets in T20 matches. If there is a wicket, the pressure on the team is less, so losing two wickets in the power play, the Indian team is facing a lot of pressure.  Meanwhile, West Indies are providing a very good bowling service due to which the top two West Indies teams are very likely to win today. India team has collected 49 runs in 8 overs, if they continue to collect runs like this, they will surely reach 180 runs in the end. And if the Indian team can score 180 runs then there is definitely a chance to win today.

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.

After losing the first match against West Indies, India won the toss and batted first in the second T20 match. Batting first in the second T20 match against the West Indies, India managed to score 67 runs for three wickets after playing ten overs so far.  

After losing the first match, we expected India to come out with a good plan in the second match but the start against the West Indies seems that maybe they did not plan properly. Considering the current run house and wickets, it looks like we will see a low-scoring match today as well.

India still have seven wickets in hand so Indian batsmen must try to score more runs. If India can score 100 plus runs in the last 10 overs then it will be a target to fight well against West Indies.

Start is not good as right now after 9.3 overs we have just 60 runs and three top order batsmen gone right now Sanju Samson and Tilak Verma on crease we need some aggressive approach from here because score is less than expected in first half of the match anything less than 180 is not going to have any positive result for the India.

After losing ODI series now West Indies are doing good job against young Indian team which is playing without their many stars which looking not perfect start SKY is having bad time with Shubman Gill is also out of the touch for this series hopefully this pair will give some better end which give good test case for the bowlers and India able to came at level with West Indies in this series.

West indies are good in T20 format and its not surprising that they have good even odds in todays game۔ So far the game is also even as India is 78/4 in 12 overs.
Tilak Varma is also having good second game as he is top scorer at the moment with 30 runs on 27 balls. Only Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan are able to make it to double figures. If West Indies can get one or two more wickets they may restrict India to 140 or 150 which will can be chased.

West Indies vs India
 Team's 2nd T20 match started today. India won the toss and came to bat. Scored 79 runs in 12 overs. Now India is under a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets. India lost the 1st T20 match by just 4 runs. How good is India in today's match?  It will not be understood till the end of the game. It seems that India will be able to give the target of 150 runs today. West Indies has started to perform well in bowling. If the two teams play in this way, we will see a hard fight between the two teams.

[MusaPk]

WI have done good job in bowling so far. They have picked 5 wickets in 16 overs but Pandaya is still on the crease and he has the capability to take the score to 150 or 160. If target goes over 150 then it will be difficult for WI to chase it.
Varma Ji is finally out after scoring his first T20I fifty and he will definitely be in eyes of selectors for coming T20I events. 39 in first match and 51 in second match, can't get better figures then that on your T20 debut. 

[JSRAW]

Tonight things are not looking good for India, I guess this is another 150-ish chase if India gets lucky.

Although the pitch report mentioned that it would be a good scoring wicket but it didn't look like one. Let's save the overall rant for later if Windies completely dominate and India manages to lose this series in the next match.

I feel like West Indies will win the match. Especially seeing India already lost five wickets and played 17 overs, yet they scored only 120 runs. It seems the target won't be more than 150 from here. Even if they manage to score 160+ against West Indies, they might be able to chase these runs. India could have been worse, but Tilak Varma played a good innings for India.

Hardik Pandiya is still in the crease and is known as a hard hitter batter. I hope he will be able to score some good sixes and boundaries. Meanwhile, Axar Patel wastes balls when he should try to rotate strike instead of looking for big shoots.

The good news in India's batting today is Tilak Varma. He managed to score his first T20 fifty even when things were tough. Sadly, he departs quickly after making 51 runs. While the other batters struggled making runs, Tilak Varma only batter stood out. For now, India is in a bit of trouble, and Pandya is the only hope. We'll have to see how long he can survive.

update-- Pandya gone

Varma Ji is finally out after scoring his first T20I fifty and he will definitely be in eyes of selectors for coming T20I events. 39 in first match and 51 in second match, can't get better figures then that on your T20 debut.  

Team India has suffered a batting disaster against the West Indies today in the fight to equalize the series. 18 overs out of 20 overs are already over where India have collected 129 runs for 6 wickets. Hardik Pandya was on the wicket till now so there were big expectations from him but now he got out, Hardik Pandya played a responsible innings of 24 runs off 18 balls before he got out. I called the innings of 24 runs because of Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan. Except no other player in the team could score such runs. 30 runs in the last two overs would have been possible if Hardik Pandya or any recognized batsman had been on the wicket but at the moment 30 runs against West Indies in two overs is very difficult. India may score 15 runs in the last two overs.

If India manage to score 150 runs then surely a competitive match can be expected as West Indies are likely to put on their best performance in T20I matches. As five wickets have fallen, India are currently without a good batsman as today's match is in favor of the bowlers. Akeal Hosein has seen a very good performance in West Indies bowling. Tilak Verma is the only Indian player to score a half century. If the West Indies team can perform well from the start then there is definitely a chance to win today.

To my surprise, India has started badly in this 2nd ODI too and they are two down for only 27 runs. Shubman Gill was caught and bowled by Joseph while Suryakumar Yadav was run out by a direct hit. India needs some good partnerships now to recover from this situation.

India is in a similar situation like the first T20, the openers failed to give a good start, Sanju Samson was run out in the first match from a direct hit and in this match Suryakumar Yadav was run out in a similar situation, struggling to put up a good partnership.

However, if you see the current odds of the match, they are still pretty even which shows that bookies still believe that India will come back in the match.

India only managed to score 152 runs and the odds are favoring West Indies to win and if they can bat sensible, they could really win the match and probably win the series as India is experimenting with the lineup.

Yeh just like previous match only Verma manage to scored some decent runs, opening pair collapse again by just 16 which is really disappointed because such kind of performance will impact entire team moral and soon they will be appear in Asia Cup where they will face one of toughest bowling team ever like Afghanistan and Pakistan which will be a huge challenge for them and if they can't manage again a weak team west indies they how they will manage against them, but hope returning of Kohli and Rohit will give confident to play naturally without any hesitation and trouble.

There is no way to say that 152 runs is a bad collection on this pitch. The pitch was not batting friendly. Still thought the Indian batsmen would play with some responsibility. As they could not show very good performance in the previous matches. But the Indian batsmen's performance was not good in today's match as well. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav's performances were poor. Ishan Kishan was able to collect 27 runs. Also like last match Tilak Varma's performance today was excellent. Tilak was able to score 51 runs. Pandya's 18-ball 24-run innings was essential. The target is not high though. Even then, on such a pitch, a target of 153 runs is possible to win. Bowlers have to bowl controlled from the beginning of the innings.

India lost the 1st T20 match by just 4 runs. How good is India in today's match?  It will not be understood till the end of the game. It seems that India will be able to give the target of 150 runs today. West Indies has started to perform well in bowling. If the two teams play in this way, we will see a hard fight between the two teams.

In the first T20 match West Indies won by 4 runs and in today's second T20 match too India batted first but India could not give West Indies a target of too many runs. however, West Indies lost two wickets for 26 runs.  So West Indies' performance is also not looking good today so it is doubtful if they will be able to meet the target. But I don't understand why India can't play well against West Indies.  West Indies seem to be preparing themselves very well in all aspects to deal with others

After end of Indian batting I was feeling this is going to be easy task for the West Indies but Hardick Pandya leading from the front and give his team an ideal start which they were looking for now right after three overs West Indies are having troubling start with losing two early wickets but third over give them good chance of fightback with Pooran and Mayer's on crease for them and Powell and Hetmyer are next to bat look like we are going to have another thrilling end of this match.
 
If India having 160+ then surely I have India to win this match but right now it's anybody game because target is not good enough, but these two wickets can give them good chance for fightback in this match.

Update last nine balls give good relief to West Indies and they have 28 runs.
