New Zealand vs England

I am enjoying the match between New Zealand vs England. The captain of the England team won the toss and decided to field. And the bowlers have been successful bowling on this pitch. The batsmen of New Zealand stumbled at the beginning of the innings. They lose wickets quite quickly. The top order players did not bat well. New Zealand lost three important wickets for just 35 runs. At the end of 20 overs, New Zealand was able to give a target of only 135 runs. Even if the target is more than 155-160, I would say New Zealand has a chance to win. Giving a target of just 139 runs is much more difficult to win.

England's bowlers bowled well today. Luke Wood took three wickets but gave away a lot of runs. He gave 37 runs in 4 overs. Apart from this, the performance of all the other bowlers was quite controlled. Brydon Carse took three wickets for 23 runs.

In yesterday's match, New Zealand batted first and collected 139 runs by taking 9 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. New Zealand could not bat well, England's bowling line was good, Luke Wood took 4 wickets, Brydon Carse took 4 wickets with 23 runs in 4 overs. England went into bat with a target of 140 runs to win. England won by 7 wickets in 14 overs. Brilliant performances from both Dawid Malan and Harry Brook helped the team to an easy win. There will be a series of 4 matches, to win the series have to win 3 matches. England won the first match and lead 1-0.

The fact that South African bowlers conceded 226 runs in 20 overs is disturbing. Their bowling attack consisted of two experienced pacers (Marco Jansen & Lungi Ngidi), as well as two emerging players (Gerald Coetzee & Lizaad Williams). Spin attack was led by the talented Tabraiz Shamsi. But none of these bowlers could secure an economy rate of less than 10 runs per over in yesterday's match as Mitchell Marsh and Tim David went berserk. And it was good to see the Australian selectors giving chance to some of the younger players such as Aaron Hardie and Tanveer Sangha.

England did well both in bowling and batting performance to beat New Zealand. However, New Zealand can bat and bowl very well, their poor batting causes wickets to fall very quickly and they come under pressure. However, England batted well and got a huge win by 7 wickets, their batting permanent was excellent which helped them win the match against New Zealand. England's great performance may see them through the next few matches but New Zealand must improve their game. If New Zealand cannot improve their game then they may not be able to win the next matches against England so they need to improve their batting and bowling.

Australia vs South Africa 1st T20

T20 cricket has a big match today, the first T20 match between Australia vs South Africa is going to be played today at 10 pm (local time). In the beginning, that's why I said a very big match because Australia and South Africa are a very strong team in T20, especially South Africa is very strong at their home ground. Australia toured South Africa to play three T20Is and five ODIs. South Africa is always favorite in South African conditions considering that condition I want South Africa ahead in this match.

The 1st T20 between Australia vs South Africa is started. South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first that is not a good decision. Australia batted very well they scored 100 runs in a loss of 4 wickets in 10 Overs. Mitchell Marsh playing at 54 not out in 24 balls. From South Africa Lizaad Williams picked up 2 crucial wickets by just giving 20 runs. Gerald Coetzee and M. Jansen also took 1, 1 wickets. But Australia maintains the 10 runs per over run rate I think the way Australia bats the protected score is 200 runs in 20 Overs. The Target 200 or above is very difficult to Chase down for South Africa.

Undoubtedly, the South African team is going to be defeated in today's match. Australia set a huge target of 227 runs. I don't think South Africa will be able to win against Australia's bowling attack by batting on such a big target.
I don't think it was a bad fielding decision after winning the toss. But the Australian batsmen have batted brilliantly. In particular, Mitchell Marsh and Tim David's excellent batting resulted in Australia amassing a huge total of 226. Marsh was unbeaten on 92 off 49 balls. And David scored 64 off just 28 balls.

Australia won this match by 111 runs and led the series by 1-0. Australia batting performance was pretty well in this match setting a huge target for South Africa 226 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. While chasing down the target South Africa all out in 115 runs in 15.3 Overs. The player of the match is Mitchell Marsh for his batting performance of 92 runs unbeaten in just 49 balls. Tim David also played an important role scoring 64 runs in just 28 balls and reaching the Australian total of 226 runs. The bowling performance of Australia is very well especially Tanveer Sangha who picked up 4 wickets by just giving 31 runs in 4 overs and Marcus Stoinis picked up 3 wickets by giving 18 runs in 3 Overs.

Australia lost Travis Head in the first over, but then Matthew Short and Mitchell Marsh rebuilt the innings. In the first five overs, Australia raced to 69 runs, and by then the match was out of South Africa's grasp. Three quick wickets fell after that (Matthew Short, Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis) and things went quiet for a while, but then Tim David joined Mitchell Marsh at crease and fireworks restarted after a brief respite. In the end, the target for South Africa was too much for them to handle and as a result they crumbled against the Australian bowlers.

Australia beat South Africa by 111 runs in the first T20 at South Africa's home ground. We all know how strong Africa is in South African conditions but they adapted to the African conditions and scored a mountain of runs in the first T20 against South Africa. Australia's 226 for 6 in the first innings made South Africa's chances of victory very difficult. South Africa lost wickets at regular intervals when they tried to run under the pressure of 12+ runs in every over, as a result of which the African batsmen could not extend their innings very far. South Africa against Australia got 15.3 overs to play in the second innings while South Africa were bowled out for 115 runs, making Australia a massive 111 runs with 5 overs to go in the first T20 match against South Africa.

Big guys coming out to bat with a tree in a hand and boundaries are not even touching 60-65 meters. No wonder bowlers get thrashed everywhere nowadays.

Fans do love these hitting but there should be a requirement of a minimum 70-meter boundary in T-20 as you want some sort of competition between bat and ball.

I think cricket is definitely becoming a little too much favourable to the batting side. The bowlers are just guinea pigs. And I also think that this is a big reason why we don't have legendary bowlers like we had in the past anymore.  Even if a Bowler emerges in the scene, a few days later, he is somehow losing his form. Or he is getting injured.

On the other hand, in the past, the batsmen had to do a lot of running between the wickets to actually score more runs.  but nowadays, they just have to stand still and swing the bat very hard. That is simply unfair In my opinion.

Not little but way too much as it's a batters game. We have a fair amount of good bowlers in the current generation so this can't be an excuse IMO.

Small boundaries play a big role, also players are becoming fit and strong in comparison to the previous generation.

Small boundaries play a big role, also players are becoming fit and strong in comparison to the previous generation.

This trend of having smaller boundaries have negatively impacted the pace bowlers who constantly bowl at speeds of around 150 mph. Examples are Dale Steyn and Mitchell Starc. Despite performing well in test cricket, these players have a poor record in T20 format, because of smaller boundaries that are used for that format. And in test cricket, most of the times they stick with standard boundaries, so it is not so much biased towards the batsmen. Once in a while we get to watch wonderful performances from some of the quality bowlers.

I don't know why South Africa batted so strangely on their own pitch. South Africa knew their pitch condition very well. As the pitch was not bowling friendly, South Africa might have been able to provide a bigger target if they had batted first. The batsmen could not play well in batting for the target of 227 runs. The batsmen were under a lot of pressure. This team has the ability to score more than 200 if they play pressure free. However, the Australian bowlers bowled well. Tanveer Sanga and Stoinis managed to pick up 4 and 3 wickets respectively. A good performance by the batsmen and bowlers combined led Australia to an impressive 111-run win.

Out of the four Australians making their debut (Aaron Hardie, Matthew Short, Spencer Johnson and Tanveer Sangha), everyone performed well making significant contributions. Johnson and Sangha shared 5 wickets between them. And while batting, Hardie and Short made significant contributions. On the other hand, the two South African debutants (Gerald Coetzee and Dewald Brevis) disappointed their fans. A lot was expected from Brevis, but he got out for just 5 runs. And Coetzee was expensive when he opened the bowling.

If New Zealand cannot improve their game then they may not be able to win the next matches against England so they need to improve their batting and bowling.

The top order of New Zealand's batting lineup didn't perform well once again. Their top-order batters played irresponsibly, which helps to a convincing win for England. Nonetheless, there's still some player shuffling to be done before finalizing the World Cup squads. New Zealand has players like Boult, Williamson, Latham, and a few others who will be joining and adding strength to the team. This particular match doesn't really reflect how they'll perform in ODIs. Anyway, Kiwis need to analyze and come back stronger in the upcoming T20 matches.

South Africa have observed their pitch condition well and they decided to field first as wickets are helpful because winning the toss and fielding first will make it easier for Africa to play with the target later on, but they did not know that Australia would be able to score so many runs by batting in the first innings. African bowlers could not bowl controlled which is why South Africa lost by such a margin in the first T20 match. There are still two matches left in the series so South Africa still have time and opportunity to do well in this series. We expect South Africa to work on the mistakes that were made in the first match and do better in the second match.

South African selectors have their hands tied. As per the transformation quotas, they need to select a fixed number of colored players and it doesn't matter whether they are performing well or not. One example is the selection of Temba Bavuma to the team. He faced just two balls and got out for a duck, off the bowling of Marcus Stoinis. He didn't played any competitive cricket for the last 5 months and was directly dropped in for this match against Australia. Anyway, they have two more matches remaining, and both of them will be played at the same venue (Kingsmead in Durban).

Yeah, no one gets a breather and it does reflect on numbers.

One could make an argument for small grounds as organizers don't have any choice and sometimes you have to pull up boundaries for the safety of players. On the other hand, big grounds virtually have no excuses, organizers deliberately pull up boundaries for more action. I noticed this in the last Pak vs Nep ODI too.

New Zealand Vs England
The first match of New Zealand vs England T20 series will start today. Four matches will be played in this T20 series. The match will be played at England's home ground. Both teams are strong in T20. Today's match we will see a match full of rivalry. However, England will get more support than New Zealand as it is played at home. But bowling line batting line is good for both teams. England are slightly ahead for the win as they are playing at home.

England won the first match by 7 Wickets. What a performance by the England team to chase down the 140 runs target by losing 3 wickets in just 14th Overs. Dawid Malan beautiful batting scored fifty fours runs in just 42 balls and Harry Brook also played very fast inning of 43 runs unbeaten in just 27 balls and won the match with 7 wickets and 36 balls left. The New Zealand team did not set a big target on board he scored 139 runs in a lost of 9 Wickets in 20 overs. Glenn Phillips only score 41 runs in 38 balls helping New Zealand to reach 130 plus runs. The player of the match is Brydon Carse for his amazing bowling performance picking up 3 important wickets for England by just giving 23 runs only in 4 Overs.

England is going better in t20 format and now holding no.1 rank. The way they batting is very dangerous. after losing 2 wicket the match was looking very tough but the way England batsmen handle should be appreciated. Malan and brook made it too easy to chase 140. If you have a good bowling attack and quality batsmens who like to play aggressive then you can beat any team in short format and this is what Eng exactly doing now.

New Zealand was looking so weak yesterday but still 3 games are up to head and newzealand should prepare well and shouldn't allow Eng team to win it easily. I am not seeing any senior experience player in NZ this time. I think NZ are looking to give chances to new players.

Yesterday's game between England and New Zealand seemed to have lost rhythm in the New Zealand team. They are completely broken. They could not resist in any way against the rival England. New Zealand scored only 139 runs which is not a big score for England team. Against England team, it is almost difficult for New Zealand to win the match unless the score is above 180. Everyone except Glenn Phillips and Finn Allen in the New Zealand team had very low scores which resulted in a win for England. In the second T20 match, New Zealand will certainly try to build resistance.

However, in this match mainly the New Zealand team could not run very well due to which they had to lose the match against England.  Although New Zealand lost the first match of T20 against England by a huge margin, but if New Zealand can play well in the next match, they can hope to win. But England played brilliantly in the match and they won the match in 14 overs against New Zealand. It will not be possible for New Zealand to beat England by so few runs because England is a strong team compared to New Zealand so New Zealand has to improve their game otherwise there is a high chance of losing the next matches. If New Zealand can score 180 plus runs in the next match then they can face England and England will be under a lot of pressure to win the match. But if England's bowling performance is good then New Zealand will never be able to bat well, so if they improve their game to win the match then it will be possible for New Zealand team to win.

The first match starts in the next 40 minutes between Sri Lanka women vs England women. Sri Lanka women tour to England for this series. Heather Knight is the captain of the England women's team. Chamari Athapaththu is the captain of the Sri Lanka women's team. In this series, they play three T20 and three ODI matches

But I did not understand the approach of South Africa. I think they were just trying to score quickly without caring too much about the wickets in hand. That is also the reason why they lost wickets at regular intervals.

South Africa have observed their pitch condition well and they decided to field first as wickets are helpful because winning the toss and fielding first will make it easier for Africa to play with the target later on, but they did not know that Australia would be able to score so many runs by batting in the first innings. African bowlers could not bowl controlled which is why South Africa lost by such a margin in the first T20 match. There are still two matches left in the series so South Africa still have time and opportunity to do well in this series. We expect South Africa to work on the mistakes that were made in the first match and do better in the second match.

South African selectors have their hands tied. As per the transformation quotas, they need to select a fixed number of colored players and it doesn't matter whether they are performing well or not. One example is the selection of Temba Bavuma to the team. He faced just two balls and got out for a duck, off the bowling of Marcus Stoinis. He didn't played any competitive cricket for the last 5 months and was directly dropped in for this match against Australia. Anyway, they have two more matches remaining, and both of them will be played at the same venue (Kingsmead in Durban).

Yes, I agree that Black people contain better genetics, that is the reason that most of the time black people are generally better at most things physically rather than other races. Whatever it does not mean black people will not face any problems in life and never be out of form. I wanna say if he failed to retain his form, he should not be playing. I am sure they have other players ready to play in his place. Those players should be given a chance regardless of skin colour. This is simply not being fair.
