T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Ayers]

I think India are going to check their upcoming players and how they are performing and how well they are going to perform these days. Mostly the players like I can say Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma which were the backbone of the India Team, if still they are not even present in the matches then it would also be difficult for the team of India.Most likely they can win their matches but the new players have to focus on their batting strength that how well they have to bowl.

Then what happened during the 2023 ODI World Cup final? Both these players were present, and yet they lost the final match to Australia. Anyway, they can't be dependent on Rohit and Virat all the time. And the squad for the South African series actually contained a number of experienced players such as Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj. Even after all this, if they can't win matches against an under-strength South Africa that is lacking QDK, Rabada and Nortje, then whose fault is it?

Let's be honest, India did not lose a single match till the World Cup final. And that's why they became a little cocky. And that's why they also got humbled very quickly. I honestly think India did not take Australia as a serious opponent in the final. Otherwise, just look at the game plan that Australia had, it was just way ahead compared to India. Australia actually did their homework.

And in this match, let's be honest India did not do well in the bowling. They have given away too many runs in such a short period of time. And in the end, South Africa was able to win pretty comfortably.

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.

Perth Scorchers won this match by 7 wickets against Melbourne Stars. Perth Scorchers chase down the target 102 runs in loss of 3 wickets in 13.5 overs. Melbourne Stars poor performance in batting they scored onlu 101 runs a very low target in T20 cricket. The bowling performance of Perth Scorchers is outstanding in this match Jason Behrendorff amazing bowling spell picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving 28 runs in 4 overs. The player of the match is Hamish McKenzie for his outstanding bowling performance picked 2 important wicktes by giving 12 runs in 4 overs.

Melbourne Stars team is not performing very well this season they lost today's match worse than the first match. The batsmen seemed to stand on the pitch just waiting to give wickets. All wickets fell within just 101 runs. However, the fall of the last wicket was a bit late by which crossed the 100 run. What we expect in T20 matches is more boundaries and scores. A match is never entertaining if the runs are not get high. A competitive match attracts all the attention to that match. Today's match is completely one sided. Perth Scorchers is defiantly a good team and if any team given target of 170 runs against the team they cannot expect to win.

Melbourne Stars have played two matches so far. And in both of them, they have actually lost in a pretty devastating way. Both of the matches have actually been pretty convincing wins for their opponent. But obviously, this is just the start of the season. And I think as the competition progresses, they are going to improve their performance. But they will have to improve their performance very quickly. Otherwise the point difference is going to be a lot. And in the end, it might actually be too hard to climb

Australia is one of the toughest team in big matches, and they prove this as well with their performance in the final game which they won easily against all odds with their homework which they have done before this match and after winning toss their decision to bowl first was also very important and their bowlers also done all things as their plan which not allowed Indians to play freely even they were playing at their home which was early won for the Australia.
After having target of 241 Travis head and Marcus Labuschagne play impressive innings for giving their team another big cup which is surely still shock for the Indian fans as they were 100% sure about Indian wins but at the end all things gone wrong for them.

...On top of that spinner Hamish McKenzie picked up two crucial wickets today (those of Hilton Cartwright and Usama Mir)...

Since when Usama Mir's wicket became crucial?

...they fight against the  Indian best bowlers like Ashwin and more other spinner but they fight till the end, and they never accept the defeat against India.

Bro, Ashwin isn't even in squad, what you on?

...Ishan Kishan...

Ishan Kishan is in squad but Jitesh Sharma was given place in playing XI.

Everyone in the Indian team had some issues like Virat and Rohit taking a rest for some time, and Hardik Pandya being injured, and Bumrah and Muhammed Shami being also injured. Jasprit Bumrah had a back pain and Shami is injured, I don't know why Siraj didn't play this series. Almost Indian all team is suffering from the injures.

Rohit, Virat, Shami, Bumrah will be returning for test series. Siraj is already in squad, played last t20 too, what's up?



Some veterans are not playing in t20 to give chance to new players, and pick good performers for t20 wc. Losing bilateral doesn't matter much, winning wc does.

So today there are two matches.

First is the 3rd T20I between
India vs South Africa
And second is the 2nd T20I match between
West Indies vs England

In India and South Africa T20I series we know that first match was abounded due to rain. And this match has no results. After that they played the second match and South Africa won the match. And now they will play the third match. And I hope series will be equal with 1-1.

In second match West Indies has won the first match and now they will play the second match. I hope that the West Indies will try to its best to win the match and will try to win the series too. So let's see who wil win the matc.

West Indies managed to win the ODI series and now they will be hoping to win the T20 series as well. England send a squad to West Indies that lacked key players such as Wood, Woakes and Root for the ODI series. And they got whacked. Did the same for T20 series as well and now they are in the process of getting whacked there as well. BTW, I don't understand the logic of including Tymal Mills in the T20 side. He has repeatedly failed at international level and there is no point in including him when younger options are available.

[Nrcewker]

India vs South Africa’s 3rd T20I will be really interesting to see. India would give it all to tie the series. On the other hand SA looks very strong on the paper. Last match they proved that, they can thrash away these Indian bowlers. Indian team lacked experience for which they were unable to defend the good total last match. Let’s see what will be today’s plan in order to win the match. I am assuming they will call Ishan Kishan in place of Jitesh Sharma and Shreyash Iyer in place of Tilak Verma for the last T20I.

Today's match is a very important match for India, to tie the series, India must win today's match. On the other hand if South Africa can win today then the series will be won. Today both teams will try hard to win the match. However, we saw that in the second match, India's opening batting was dismissed for 0 runs and came under a lot of pressure. In the second match, the bowling line was worse than India's batting line. But the second match also could not be enjoyed well due to rain. South Africa won by 5 wickets by DLS method. Hope to enjoy today's match to the fullest. Both India's batting and bowling lines need to improve today. Especially the two opening batsmen have to perform well. I think there may be changes in India's XI. However, South Africa will have an advantage at home. I think today's match will be very competitive.

India tour of South Africa

The last day occurred the 2nd T20 match between  India and South Africa. South Africa won by 5 wickets. South Africa led the 3-match series 1-0. Reeza Hendricks was the most attacking batsman against India. His outstanding batting was remarkable. He only played 27 balls and got the score of 49 runs. 8.6 chipped to the man at cover! Only last ball he pushed one to the man there, failing to beat him, and this time he gifts him Surya a catch to his left. You can see the all South African player's batting scores.

Reeza Hendricks has been a bit unlucky for sometime now, after batting quite good he has been unable to score a 50. South African played very well yesterday but they did had a bit of luck due to DLS. The Indian seam attack was not the effective with Arshdeep giving out too many runs. I still feel that South Africa would win the series as this Indian side is full of new players.

The Indian team defeated against South African players, the rain came on the ground and then the DLS method was started and the DLS method decision was not good for South Africa but they tried to play like Spiderman so they just focused on chasing the target, South African made 154 runs in just 13 overs so imagine if they had 20 overs so what they can do against India.
Between South Africa and  India had a different of land and sky, the land was India and the sky was South Africa. South Africa is much better than the Indian cricket team.
Lets hope India bounces back in the next match and do not let the south African team with the series win.

I think there may be changes in India's XI. However, South Africa will have an advantage at home. I think today's match will be very competitive.

The first match was abandoned. And in the second match, South Africa won quite easily. And so India must win today's match if they don't want to lose the series. But the way India played in the first match, it is not possible to defeat the South African team. The batsmen had a chance to perform better. The two openers did not get off to a good start. Also every bowler in the squad has contributed a lot of runs. Bowlers need to be more responsible. South African batsmen are in very good form now. So if the Indian bowlers do not perform well, there is no chance of them winning against South Africa.

[Haunebu]

Everyone in the Indian team had some issues like Virat and Rohit taking a rest for some time, and Hardik Pandya being injured, and Bumrah and Muhammed Shami being also injured. Jasprit Bumrah had a back pain and Shami is injured, I don't know why Siraj didn't play this series. Almost Indian all team is suffering from the injures.

They can't always depend on senior players which is why they gave important opportunities to the next-generation who let the team down in more ways than one. Also, Siraj did play which makes me wonder if you actually watched any of the matches.

But the way India played in the first match, it is not possible to defeat the South African team. The batsmen had a chance to perform better. The two openers did not get off to a good start. Also every bowler in the squad has contributed a lot of runs. Bowlers need to be more responsible. South African batsmen are in very good form now. So if the Indian bowlers do not perform well, there is no chance of them winning against South Africa.

Every match isn't the same and the Indian team is phenomenal at bouncing back from losses which is why I am expecting them to win the final T-20.

I think the description is about a cricket match between India and South Africa in full T20 series, hopefully no ODI related information. However, South Africa have won the second game of the series and currently hold the lead. The match will be played today at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The Indian team scored 180 runs in the last game and South Africa successfully chased down the target after the rain interruption. The match is expected to be high-scoring, with an average first innings score of around 173 at the venue. Whoever wins the toss can be choose to field first. South Africa is a very strong opponent at home ground and the match could go South Africa's way.

Well.. a decade or so back.. there was a consensus that India won't win any matches in SENA nations, if Virat Kohli is not playing. In such matches, he used to be the backbone for India. Times have changed, and we saw how Rinku and Surya took on the South African bowlers in the second T20I. But all that said, I have to say that South Africa has the upper hand. They have the momentum, and despite the absence of many of their star players, they destroyed Indians during second match. Also, Bavuma is absent which actually hurts India's chances. 

[Bitcoin Smith]

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.

You can't build a perfect team with XI good player, it needs to be XI right players with right combinations for example if both the openers are having the style of hit or miss then it's never going to work unless one of the player has been very consistent in doing that for example hitman who rarely fails but Gill haven't been consistent in T20s while Jaiswal is going to hit from the ball one that is why I felt one stable opener with other attacking opener will be the perfect combo.

@Bitcoin Smith currently the team is testing and when you’re testing some perform well and some don’t hence I don’t blame the team for trying something different because you never know what the outcome will be unless it’s tested. Furthermore with Virat and Rohit future also not confirmed in this format it does makes sense the selectors want to try something different hence we should be patient while they continue their experiment.

melbourne stars vs perth scorchers Big bash league Perth scorchers won toss and bowls first Melbourne stars made 101 for all out in 20th overs no player form perth side played big inning becoz they losts wickets consistently Behrendorff takes 28/3 in 4 overs while Richardson and Hamish took 2, 2 wickets
Melbourne stars  chase down the target 102/3 in 14th overs Cooper made 20 on 9 balls while josh inglis on 17 and captain turner on 19 runs not out innings single handedly chased this target. Perth scorchers failed to defend this low total Melbourne stars won this match by 7 wickets

[Sithara007]

Today's match will be played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. There will be adequate support for the pace bowlers and the Indian selectors need to be careful here. They need to drop Arshdeep Singh, as he is out of form. Mohammed Siraj leaked a lot of runs in the second match, but then he is the only experienced pacer in the squad. In batting, they can promote Rinku Singh to 4th position, as he is under-utilized in his current rank. At this point, it seems to me that South Africa has the upper hand for today's match.

[Fuso.hp]

India will go into the field today looking to level the series against South Africa and South Africa will be looking to win the series against India. The first match was abandoned due to rain, South Africa's win in the second match means that South Africa is ahead in all aspects for the third match. If the third match is abandoned for any reason, South Africa will decide the series by winning only one match.  Considering the condition wickets and the current team, I would prefer South Africa slightly ahead of India. South African batsmen and bowlers always do well in South African conditions and they are doing well in the second T20I as well. As the third match is the series decider, we might see the South African batsmen batting a bit more aggressively in this match.

Yes, they are going with trial and error method, but the approach should be right too not just completely blatant, in my opinion.

There are lot of rumors going on media that Rohit and Virat may not be selected into XI for T20 WC but its not realistic and how can a selection committee can drop player who is the top run scorer in WC 2023 and hit man is in second place if I am not wrong, so there is no way they will not be selected unless the players asked them they don't want to.

Yes I will also predict in favor of South Africa here because today South Africa will try their best to secure the series. Meanwhile, after the first match was abandoned due to rain, the second match was won by South Africa against India and the match is one step ahead. If India can somehow beat today's match, South Africa's T20 series will be confirmed. Meanwhile, India will want South Africa not to win today's match and not to win the series. This match will be played at 9 pm Bangladesh Time. We will wait to watch the game from start to finish to see who can win this match between South Africa and India today.
