T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Iranus]

WI Vs ENG
A target of 172 runs in T20 is not a big target but all these scores are easy targets for any team. England have given West Indies a target of 172 runs and West Indies are batting on that target. Aggressive batting from André Russell and Rovman Powell has kept West Indies very close to victory. West Indies need 19 runs from 19 balls till the end. West Indies will definitely win today's match if no special miracle happens. One thing I have to say is that England cricket is going through a really bad situation. England has to come out of this bad situation otherwise England cricket will face huge problems.

Yes England team is going through bad situation at present. We have seen England fail in their World Cup mission. Lost the ODI series against West Indies 2-1. Again, England lost the first match of the T20 series and fell behind. England lost the toss and had to bat, England's top order batsmen performed well. England's finishing was not good, England could have scored 190 plus runs if they had done well in finishing. In the end, England were all out for 171 runs. Had England been able to set a target of 190 plus runs, the game would have been much more competitive. The game would have gone in England's favor if England's bowlers Russell and Rovman Powell had dismissed these two devastating batsmen quickly. However, West Indies' top order batsmen played well and the finishing was very good as a result of which West Indies won by 4 wickets in 18.1 overs. Especially Andre Russell has done very well both batting and bowling.

England should have given more than 200 targets in today's match. But due to the bad batting of the lower order, England has given a target of only 172 runs. Other than Phil Salt, Buttler and Livingstone, I have not seen any batsmen perform better. Phil Salt and Buttler started well. The England team was able to collect 112 runs in the first 10 overs with the responsible batting of these two batsmen. The interesting thing is that England collected only 6 runs in the last 3 overs. We never expect such bad batting from an experienced team like England. England is trailing 1-0 in the 5-match T20 series. They still have a chance to win the series.

Good catch up from Indian team after losing both openers early.

New players like Jaiswal, Jitesh Sharma failed, free life to Tilak Verma as well.

Rinku seems to be cementing his place in Indian team.  I liked how he took his runs behind the wicket without necessarily using his strength every time.

Even tho, breetzke was annoyed at his run out, it was his mistake as he didn't heed the no call.

It was good game overall, I enjoyed watching.

We have seen in the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 that England is the first to be eliminated with the worst perforce. England's poor performance cannot be analyzed at all. If England can't come out of this bad performance then England will be completely destroyed from the cricket stage. It is surprising to think that England, who performed so well, has now become such a weak team.

Especially in yesterday's T20 match, 171 runs was not enough for England's victory due to which West Indies easily won the match by completing the target of 172 runs.

India vs South Africa

They will play the Second T20I match in Gqeberha. We all know that the first match was abounded due to rain. And no one play a single ball. So today these both teams will face each other. If anyone will say that the South Africa will win so we will see that India looking more strong. If anyone will say India will win so South Africa also strong. So it is really difficult to say that which team willwin today match. So let's see who will perform well and will win today match. If the rain will not interfere again.

Yes we saw the first T20 match declared abandoned due to rain without a toss. The second T20 match will start today but there is very little chance of rain today. The two teams that will participate in today's match are both stronger teams. Both the teams are in very good position in T20 form and hopefully today's match will be a very good and crowd pleasing match. In the predictions of the two teams, I will predict for India today because India will beat South Africa to win today's match.

Although the first T20 match was postponed due to rain, in the second T20 match, India will surely play well today to bring victory.  South Africa and India are two strong teams but it is really difficult to predict which team will win today's match. Although today's game is at South Africa's home ground, it cannot be said whether India will win today's match. If South Africa can play today's T20 matches like South Africa did in the World Cup then it is definitely possible to beat India. And India may win this match because we have seen that they won the series against Australia according to T20 India is more likely to win today's match. Although today's match is in South Africa ground according to which South Africa is a bit stronger but your prediction may be right as India is currently doing well in T20 matches so it may be possible to win the match.

In 2nd T20 south Africa winning toss and bowls first India made 180/7 in 20th overs captain suryakumar played 56 on 36 balls and rinku singh scored 68 runs on 39 balls and team india set a good target to South africa Gerald coetzee takes 3 wickets while shamsi taken 18/1 wicket in 4 overs. In 2nd innings rain distrubs and target for South africa is 152 in 15 overs and successful they chased 154/5 in 14th overs Hendricks made 49 on 27 balls and markram played 30 runs innings. Mukesh Kumar takes 2 wickets while kuldeep and siraj took single wicket and South Africa won this match by 5 wickets with 7 balls before (Dls method).

[Fuso.hp]

Relying on Rinku Singh's unbeaten innings of 68, India eventually managed to post 180 with three balls to spare in the 20th over. Due to the rain it is not possible to build the next match, but the target set for South Africa is 152 runs in 15 overs due to the law of rain. At the start of the second innings, the equation for South Africa was that South Africa would need to score around 10 runs per over to win this match. South Africa need 10 runs per over to win but they are managing to score 12 runs almost every over and as of now they need 44 runs from 34 balls to win with 6 wickets still in hand. The first match was abandoned due to rain so a win in today's match will lead the series 1-0.

The Indian team started the performance very badly starting from the opening batsmen. Because the first two batsmen Jaiswal and Shubman Gill got out for zero runs and they could not collect any runs. This is where the Indian team falls behind, which is why the Indian team scores only 180 runs but the run average comes down a lot due to the DLS format of the match. The South African team won by 5 wickets after collecting only 154 runs. I saw that the South African team had a very good start due to which the South African team easily snatched away this match win.

First of all, it is very difficult to beat South Africa on South African soil. Whether the curator builds batting wickets or bowling support wickets in South African conditions the South African players have the most advantage considering the conditions. India's opening pair did not perform well, it is a demerit point for India but the middle order batsmen provided enough support that's why India's total crossed 180. India may have already started working on why India lost in the second T20I which we can see reflected in the third T20I. Although it is a three-match T20I series against South Africa with one abandoned due to rain, India have no chance of winning the series against South Africa, only a chance of leveling the series.

But West indies won the match by 6 wickets. In beginning I not expected west indies complete the target but West Indian played very well and complete the target in 18 over's .K. Mayers play very well and made 35 run in 21 balls and S. Hope made 36 run in 30 balls especially Powell play very well performance made 31 run in just 15 balls , Bowling side of West Indian two player performance very well Russell he took 3 wickets by giving 16 run in 4 overs and J holder took 3 wickets by giving 43 run in 4 overs .

If it was a full 20 over contest, the comparison would be fair but fewer overs the edge it always goes for the chasing side and I knew it when it started poring, so I decided to stop watching the game and only track the score once in a few minutes. I think India missed the right combination because I didn't expect Ruturaj to be missed out because he can give the stability while the batsmen from other end can go for killing then in the end he can make it up well but both openers gone for zero still India managed to put very decent total then it shows how good the pitch was for batting.

Boring 2nd T-20 primarily thanks to rain interfering once again. 180 against the South African firepower with a medicore Indian bowling lineup was never going to be enough. Arshdeep is easily one of the biggest leakers in the Indian team these days.

Am worried how rain will affect the upcoming test series between both teams.

[JahriMeayer]

According to the stats that you shared, India seemed to win 55% of the time while South Africa won around 40% of the time implying that India didn't dominate, but have a slight advantage in comparison.
Am expecting India to lose this series, but we never know. Battle of the chokers time!

nice prediction mate, although india still has possibility to win. But I was also feeling the same for india for won't do well due to many senior & good players are missing. Moreover matches are unpredictable, last analysised percentage of winning won't predict the future accurately. So is happened yesterday. I already mentioned that, SA is pretty strong which will make india effort hard to win today and unfortunately india lose the match. Match was stopped at 19.3 Overs due to rain but finally SA gave their best effort after starting the match again. India's start up wasn't good but sky and hitting Rinku Singh 68(39) did their best. But SA just played more aggressively from start up and finally they win by DLS. Although i guess, they could win without DLS method as their performance was so good

[Bitcoin_people]

Although the Indian team did not do well in the beginning but later on the excellent batting of Sumaiya Kumar Yadav and Rinku Singh managed to build a good score. These two batsmen were able to score 180 runs, although this match was favorable for India to win but unfortunately they may have lost due to rain. Moreover, South Africa took their match easily at their home ground due to DL system, although the match could have been more difficult had it not rained and India was expected to win but India lost due to rain. However the first T20 match was postponed due to rain but the second match may have been more difficult for India due to rain. Maybe in the next matches if the weather is right India will definitely try to win the match in South Africa and they will try to win the T20 series. Moreover, every team will try to play well to win the match, but in the second T20 match, South Africa batted well which led to their victory.

South Africa played well. It seems like Indian players struggle when playing away from home. Of-course the future of Indian bowling looks concerning, especially with performances like Arshdeep's and others such as Mukesh, Avesh, Prasidh who tend to concede a lot of runs. The selection and strategy of the Indian team also seem to be contributing to their struggles.

Arshdeep for sure seems to have some powerful backers in the Indian team. This guy bowls like shit and yet get included in the squad everytime. On the other hand, bowlers such as Mukesh Kumar and Deepak Chahar have made use of whatever opportunity they have got so far. Anyway, the outcome questions the much hyped player depth in Indian team. With second string squads, they are unable to win against a team like South Africa. And the South African squad was missing many of their regular players.

The performance of the England team was correct from the opening batsmen but the batsmen who were in the next phase they could not collect any runs. But the bowling of the West Indies team has been swinging so much that only wickets have fallen for the England team. A total of five players of the England team left the field with almost no runs. With such a performance, it is not possible to win with any team. Meanwhile, the players of West Indies, how beautiful the batting line, everyone has performed well.

England's run against West Indies was a fighting innings in T20I as 171 runs in T20I is not very low.
England's lower order batsmen did not perform well compared to the way the top order middle order batsmen played.If the lower order batsmen of the England team could have played well then maybe the England team's run would have been close to 200 runs.
Andre Russell bowled the most aggressively for the West Indies against the England team as he took three wickets for just 19 runs in four overs.And Andre Russell came into bat and played an innings of 29 runs off just 14 balls which played the biggest role behind his team's victory.
He had a strike rate of over 207.14 in this match and he was also the man of the match.

England is good team and world champions of 2020 T20 world cup they have ability to win this series against west Indies. The performance of England in 1st T20 is very poor they all out in just 171 runs and didn't play complete 20 overs. West Indies all round batting and bowling performance in this match to win and lad the series by 1-0, especially all credit goes to Andre Russell for his amazing bowling spell picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving 19 runs and restricted England under 180 runs. He also played a good match winning inning of 29 runs unbeaten. England have ability to bounce back in next match and level the series.

England performance suddenly down below our expectations.. we were thinking England as a favourite team for 50 world cup while they remain on the bottom in the points table for first 6 matches. West indies performance are also down for some times but yesterday they batter well.. I think 172 is not a bad score in t20 but England bowlers couldn't able to stop the runs. In t20 you have to pick early wickets in the first 5 overs otherwise if openers set the. there will be no chance to stop the runs.

 Andrew Russell not only picked crucial wickets but also score match winning runs. 29 of 14 is considered best in the t20 especially when team lost 6 wickets because one-two more wickets will out alot pressure. Good work by WI boys and need this type of performance in the next 4 matches.

I would not say that the right combination was missed because the players who were included in the squad are always good players and they have done well in the last matches and also in the last IPL they have performed very well and considering that performance they have been included in the XI. If India's opening two batsmen had got runs, we might not have thought that India could not field their best XI. But there is no guarantee that if the two players who were dropped in the opening pair were replaced by other players and they would not have been dismissed for zero runs. The batsmen that India relied on in the second T20I against South Africa may rely on the same batsmen in the third T20 as well.

[Jateng]

In 1st T20 West indies won toss and bowls first England made 171 for all out in 20th overs England team start their innings very well they are 77/0 in powerplay but after that they are losing wickets captain buttler 39 runs and phil salt played 40 runs innings while Andre russel and alzarri joseph took 3, 3 wickets. West indies chased down the target 172/6 in 19th overs in last 5 overs they needed 50 runs and 6 wickets gone but unlucky English bowlers did not defend these runs in last overs because they dont take wickets and pressure came on team england. Rovman Powell 31 runs on 15 balls and Andre russell 29 runs on 14 balls help West indies to chase the target 11 balls before Andre Russell got player of the match for his brilliance all rounder performance

BBL #13: Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers

Bad batting from Melbourne Stars, 101 is no score to defend.

Easy win for Perth Scorchers, could have ended even early had Connolly stayed on ground for some more time, as he had all plans to end it soon.
