T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Shishir99]

Normally Indian players don't announce their retirements publicly or early despite getting clear mszs from the selectors due to their deals with ad agencies as it could hurt brands a bit. One of the reasons many cricketers delay their official retirements. Management does move on and reasons could vary from case to case but it's up to players if they want to announce or not. Even the likes of Kaif, Raina publicly announced their retirement quite late.

If I am not wrong then Dhoni did announce his retirement from tests in 2014-15 and in white ball cricket official retirement came around 2020.  

Maybe because they believe they have the capabilities to play more and they do not want to retire too early. Most of the time subcontinent players do not announce retirement for this reason. But the problem is, the cricket board does not respect them well. I haven't seen many retirement announcements from sub-continent players where the board organized anything special for them.

If you talk about Bangladeshi players, most of them announce their retirement in social media or TV media without discussing anything with the board. The reason is, players wanted to continue but the board selectors never try to convince them.

Looks like this match will go to the Australians since India will likely end up posting a score close to 160 which should be chased successfully unless they collapse like dominoes in my opinion.

It's a pointless match for both teams though, but it's useful for the newbies who can gain more experience in this format.

It will not be easy for Australia to win today's match as well. The pitch is not batting friendly. Even in the last match we saw that Australia lost by 20 runs, the target of 175 runs given by India.

India's team collected 160 runs in 20 overs. Iyer and Axar Patel formed a crucial partnership at a time when the team needed it. Iyer scored 53 runs off 37 balls and Patel got out with 31 runs off 21 balls. We don't see a good performance from Captain Suryakumar Yadav. His performance in the previous matches was also not satisfactory. Today he collected only 5 runs off 7 balls. If the bowlers do well, India still has a chance to win. But the chances of Australia winning are high.

In the 5th T20I, Australia won the toss and elected to bowl and India batted. Batting in the first innings, the Indian team collected 160 runs, losing 8 wickets, compared to other matches, the Indian team did not perform very well in today's match. However, in today's match, the young players of India played under a lot of pressure and did not play so well due to their own reasons, so they did not score many runs. However, in today's match, maybe the Australian team won't be able to win the match by batting in the second innings because they don't have that much pressure. We know India have already won three matches and they have enough to win the series now they don't need any more. India team will win their series even if they lose today's match but even if Australia team win today's match it will be of no use because if they win today's match they will win only two matches so they will not be able to win the series. And India are in great form to clinch the series in today's match and it looks like it will be very difficult for Australia to score 161 runs.

It was a good toss win for Australia. Wickets are continuously tumbling for India. They are now 5 down for 97 runs. Australians are bowling in the right channels. Shreyas Iyer is playing sensibly and needs to be on the crease till the end if India wants a respectable target to defend.
I do not see any major reshuffle in the Indian T20I team after this series, as none of the youngsters is ready to replace the existing batsmen in the team.

The win or loss of the match will not have any effect on either team but naturally Australia will want to ensure their victory in this match as they have already lost 3 matches. They will definitely try to keep the 3-2 position by the last match. But the first innings score is in a position where either team can win or lose. 160 is not a big score in T20 cricket but there is no room to think of it as a small score. Naturally, betting sites have placed Australia at the top as they have already lost 3 matches in this series. As such, the Australian team will definitely want to end the series with having a win in the last match.

Shreyas Iyer is the only bright spot for India as they managed to score 160 runs in Bengaluru. It's a decent total against Australia, considering they lost 8 wickets regularly. Now, it's all in the hands of the bowlers. If they don't step up, it could be an easy victory for Australia since today's score is quite low. I have doubts about the bowling ability to defend this total in T20. The bowlers really need to put in some hard work now. From what I see, Australia might end their India leg with a win.

The first innings of the 5th match of the India vs Australia T20 series has ended. Australia won the toss and decided to bowl, bowling brilliantly from the start to keep India under pressure. None other than Shreyas Iyer was able to score a half-century, he was dismissed for 53 runs off 37 balls. Rinku Singh was in great form but got out for just 6 runs today, Suryakumar Yadav got out for just 5 runs. Today the Indian batting line has been very bad today. Australia have a chance to win today as they need to score 161 off 120 balls. Australia came down to bat with a target of 161 runs and so far have scored 40 runs in 4 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. At this moment, Australia is under pressure after losing an important wicket. If Travis Head and Ben McDermott do well, Australia can win easily. I think Australia has more chances to win today. Do you think Australia can win?

Australia is batting at a target of 161 runs. Target is not too big. However, the Australian batsmen are batting aggressively from the beginning of the innings. Australia's batsmen should bat responsibly. Beating India in this match would not be a difficult task for the Australian batsmen if they could stay at the crease.

Australia collected 48 runs in the first 5 overs. At an average of around 10 runs per over, they lost the wickets of openers Travis Head and Philippe. If Australia lose two more wickets in the next 5 overs, then they will be under pressure and it will be difficult for them to win this match. Mukesh Kumar and Ravi Bishnoi picked up two wickets.

In the fifth T20, the Australian captain won the toss and decided to field first. Early on, Australia's bowlers put more pressure on the Indian batsmen. Australia managed to stop India within 160 runs. Australia is batting at a target of 161 runs. Australia now need 113 runs off 90 balls. I think if Australia batsmen can bat well then Australia will win today's match very easily. Australia's current score is 47 runs for 2 wickets with 5 overs to play.

India vs Australia 5th T20I India did not score very well. They managed to score only 160 runs for the loss of eight wickets. 160 runs is not a very big score. I think India will lose this match. If Australia can perform well then Australia will definitely win this match. However, there is no Glenn Maxwell in this match. But apart from Glenn Maxwell, there are many good batsmen in Australia team. Australia has more chances to win this match.

South Afrika Women  vs  Bangladesh Women

Bangladesh women's team got a great win against South Africa women's team today. For me it was an unexpected result. Because South Africa women's team is much stronger than Bangladesh women's team. It was also South Africa's home match. South Africa women's team lost in the first match of the 3-match T20 series.

Bangladesh's two openers got off to a good start today. Shamima scored 24 runs off 24 balls and Murshida scored 62 off 59 balls. Besides, Captain Nigar Sultana played an excellent innings of 34 runs off 21 balls. And the Bangladesh team set a target of 150 runs. The two openers of the South Africa women's team played very well when they came down to bat with a target of 150 runs. South Africa lost the first wicket for 69 runs. I thought South Africa would win today. But they lost against Shorna Akter's brilliant bowling. Shorna took 5 wickets with 28 runs in 4 overs.

It is difficult for Australia to win today's match as well. Top-order batsmen are not playing well. Philippe managed to collect only 4 runs. Aaron Hardie collected just 6 runs from 10 balls. At the end of 11 overs, Australia lost 3 wickets and collected 80 runs. Australia needs 81 runs from 54 balls to win. Australian batsmen have to collect about 9 runs per over. But Indian bowlers are bowling very controlled. This is why the Australian batsmen are now under pressure. However, I still expect Australia to win today's match. Australia will certainly not want to lose the series 4-1.

At this time, they just need 59 off 41 which is pretty easy to get with 7 wickets in their hand.

Ouch, 1 more wicket down now.

Still 2 recognized batsmen yet to come, so I can see they can win even now from now unless some extraordinary effect from Indian bowling.

The performance of Bangladesh men's team is deteriorating day by day, but the performance of Bangladesh women's team is improving day by day. I didn't think that Bangladesh women's team would win a single match at home in South Africa. To my surprise, the Bangladesh women's team won the first match. And Shorna Akter must be thanked for this victory. He took 5 wickets, more importantly he took the wicket of Anneke Bosch. Anneke got out for 67 runs. If Anneke had stayed at the crease, Bangladesh would not have won this match.

South Africa women failed to chase down just 13 runs short in the target.

This match is going to the final over. Avesh Khan continues bowling like crap while Mukesh Kumar bowled well along with Axar who was sensational. They should not let Wade retain strike if they want to win this one.

However, I feel that the Australians will win pretty comfortably unless Wade suddenly gets out turning the match around completely. Exciting final match!

India vs Australia 5th T20I India did not score very well. They managed to score only 160 runs for the loss of eight wickets. 160 runs is not a very big score. I think India will lose this match. If Australia can perform well then Australia will definitely win this match. However, there is no Glenn Maxwell in this match. But apart from Glenn Maxwell, there are many good batsmen in Australia team. Australia has more chances to win this match.

Australia need 10 runs from 5 balls to win the 5th T20 match against India. Wade is playing at 22 runs not out in just 13 balls and Ellis is playing 3 runs in 5 balls. I think Australia is now favourite to win this match beacuse Australian captain Matthew wade is playing on carees and they have good chances to win this match and series by 3-2. India batting well scored 160 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. A target of 161 runs is early chase able for the team like Australia but india fight well in this match.

India vs Australia 5th T20I India did not score very well. They managed to score only 160 runs for the loss of eight wickets. 160 runs is not a very big score. I think India will lose this match. If Australia can perform well then Australia will definitely win this match. However, there is no Glenn Maxwell in this match. But apart from Glenn Maxwell, there are many good batsmen in Australia team. Australia has more chances to win this match.

Australia need 10 runs from 5 balls to win the 5th T20 match against India. Wade is playing at 22 runs not out in just 13 balls and Ellis is playing 3 runs in 5 balls.

India batting well scored 160 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. A target of 161 runs is early chase able for the team like Australia but india fight well in this match.

They as in the Australian team lost to an Indian side that has only two actual players. It is a good sign for SKY as a captain that his team won this series and was quite efficient while getting wins. That would surely add to his resume as a captain for the first time that he won a series. But, what about his batting for which he is known in the end such a win will never help him in the long term.

Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in the fifth T20I of this series. India already won the series by 3-1.  India made only 1 change in playing eleven Arshdeep Singh comes in place of Deepak Chahar in the team. Australia also made 1 change in his team Nathan Ellis comes in place of Chris Green. Australia has ability to bounce back strongly and win this match but India has good bowling and batting unit and their recent performance is outstanding against Australia.

Aussies didn't bounce back in today's game and it's a 4-1 victory for India. This result was very much expected as Aussies have rested there main players due to ODI world cup. Moreover its very difficult to beat India on there home ground. Australia were lucky to have one victory in this series that helped them avoid a whitewash.
