T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[MusaPk]

Like the first match, this match was also very competitive. Australia scored 213 runs in the first match, but still won the match by just 11 runs. West Indies team collected 202 runs. In the second match, with the help of Maxwell's innings of 120 runs from 55 balls, Australia collected a huge score of 241 runs. I was sure that the Australian team will win easily with such a big target. Still, the West Indies batsmen batted well. West Indies team collected 207 runs. Had the West Indies top order started well, the team might have been able to collect 230+. Australia won the first two of the 3-match series. Hope the last match will also be very competitive.

T20 world cup is approaching and performance of WIndies is very much satisfactory in this T20 series. Don't forget WIndies is scoring 200 runs in Australia, world cup T20 will be in USA and WIndies. All games so far are very much competitive and we haven't seen one sided game with Aussies dominance. Today its because of Maxwell century that Aussies were able to make 241 runs. Once you set so high target its difficult to chase.

Australia are dominating every single part of Cricket these days. They just won the U19 World Cup and proceeded to destroy WI across various formats. Their glory days are back for sure.

West Indies are getting wrecked in the T20 format too which is their forte. Holder seems to be the only consistent performer with the bat in their team currently.

Maxwell show took the entire game away from West Indies, otherwise West Indies had a chance to close this match. Maxwell's performances have been on the upswing since his monster match against Afghanistan in the World Cup, and now he turns the outcome of many matches at crucial times.

But yes West Indies performance is increasing now which is a good news for West Indies cricket fans, but there is some weakness in their bowling department, hope they will improve more. As the upcoming T20I worldcup will be hosted by West Indies and USA, it will be an advantage for West Indies. I am looking forward to seeing West Indies again in the World Cup.

In second T20 Australia scored a big total 241/4 for west indies. G. Maxwell played an impressive inning of 120 runs from just 55 balls that helped Australia to set huge total of 242 for west indies. West indies lost his 5 wickets in just 67 runs in first powerplay of the match now they need 171 runs from 79 balls that a quite difficult for west indies to win the match from this position.

A storm has hit the Adelaide Oval Stadium in Australia today and that storm is called Maxwell. Today we saw an incredible innings from Glenn Maxwell in the second T20I between Australia and West Indies. The last time we saw him bat this aggressively was in the 2023 ODI World Cup when he scored 200 alone against Afghanistan. However, in today's match, he played such an aggressive innings. In today's match, Maxwell gave an innings of 126 runs from just 55 balls.

West Indies' Powell and Andre Russell played well in today's match. But Andre Russell became increasingly formidable as he scored a sixteen-ball 37 and a cameo innings. Andre Russell's batting strike rate was unbelievable. The collective performance of all the players of West Indies team is not going well due to which they are losing every match against Australia. Australia has already won the t20 series by winning the second T20 match.

Like the first match, this match was also very competitive. Australia scored 213 runs in the first match, but still won the match by just 11 runs. West Indies team collected 202 runs.

Had the West Indies top order started well, the team might have been able to collect 230+. Australia won the first two of the 3-match series. Hope the last match will also be very competitive.

It is clear that West Indies players have the ability to do well in batting. But they are very weak on the bowling site. West Indies lost both matches in this series due to their bowling weakness. If the bowlers of the West Indies team could have stopped the score of the Australian team with strong bowling, then the West Indies team would not have to face such a big target. According to me West Indies team should think about the bowling site. Now for the last match ahead, if the West Indies team is not aware of their bowling sites. Then the West Indies team will have more chances of defeat in the next match as well.

The first T20 match between Australia and West Indies was very competitive asthe latter lost by a small margin. I expect the competitive approach by the West Indies in the second T20. Australia is already leading the series and to win the series they need to win today. I doubt they woul be able to win today so easily or they might lose. Overall this new West Indies team has been playing exceptionally well against the mighty Australian side.

The match is very suspenseful at the moment.
West India, only one man is left and they need 50 runs in eight balls.

Australia has made this match very exciting by giving a target of 241 runs, now let's see if west India can score 50 runs in eight balls.

Australia outstanding performance in this match by Winning 34 runs against west indies. Australia won the 3 match by Winning  2 matches. The Player of the Match is Glenn Maxwell for his amazing batting performance scored 120 runs unbeaten in just 55 balls and reached the Australia total to 241 runs.  While chasing down the west indies only mange to score 207 runs in lost of 9 wickets and lost this match by 34 runs short. Rovman Powell played good inning of 63 runs in just 36 balls alongside with Andre Russell who scored 37 runs. Australia bowling performance is also amazing Marcus Stoinis picked 3 important wickets by giving 36 runs and Australia lead the series by 2-0.

In this game, this is a great achievement of the Australian batsmen. They set a target of 241 and the West Indies batsmen could not meet this target and will lose the match.The most Australia bowler in this match worked hard and struggle and stop the runs and took wickets and won the match.Australia batsmen struggled hard and set a target of 241 in the 20 overs.  Which was a huge and difficult target and West Indies could not achieve this target and will lose the match.Congratulations to the Australia team for their win and may they continue to play like this and keep winning matches.The West Indies bowler didn't work hard and struggle because of which they lost the match if they did they could have reached the target of 200 and maybe won the match.

In Australia vs West Indies 2nd T20I match today, Australia gain the victory by 34 runs which wasn't surprising at all. As Australian players are good at batting and bowling both. But in T20s, West Indies perform can be mark as good as well as improving than ODI or Test matches. Australia went to bat first and David Warner had to returned for his earlier out. Mitchell Marsh Played good. And no words for Glenn Maxwell for his brilliant century in T20 Match. Final Target was 241 runs for WI but WI top batsman fail to stay inf field for longer. Rovman Powell batting performance was excellent who alone made a half century among WI players. And their final score was 207 runs. I think 207 runs were decent runs when it comes to West Indies vs Australia

Australia won two consecutive T20 matches against West Indies. Australia team is the best performing cricket team in current season as they can win with any team just because of their experience. In today's T20 match, the West Indies team did not perform well from the beginning. A fall of wickets in the power play forced them to lose at the last minute.

Disappointed with the performance from Durban's Super Giants yesterday. In return to 204/3 from Sunrisers Eastern Cape, they could only manage a total of 115. Marco Jansen and Ottniel Baartman shared 7 wickets between them. Apart from Wiaan Mulder and Dwaine Pretorius, none of the DSG batsmen could get to a score of more than 20. Matthew Breetzke and Quinton de Kock opened the batting for them, but they struggled early on. Both of them were unable to score even at a rate of one run per ball. Anyway, congrats to SEC!

So sad for Durban's Super Giants squad for losing final match and I really appreciated your strength in all match including this final match. We know that defeating target which was made by against squad of Durban's Super Giants was SEC (Sunrisers Eastern Cape) was too big and their squad performance in batting inning was unbelievable and unbeatable also their sqaud bowlers performance was also superb like Marco Jansen, this bowler of Sunrisers Eastern Cape squad picked five batter wickets at end of this match after doing 4 overs which was JJ Smuts 1/2, Bhanuka Rajapaksa 0/3, Wiaan Mulder 38/22, Keshav Maharaj 5/7 and Reece Topley 0/2. Anyways, Congrats Sunrisers Eastern Cape for this fantastic victory

I also think Australia is doing really well in cricket in this season. They have won the matche against West Indies in the T20 match which shows how skilled and experienced they are. In today match West Indies had a hard time right from the start especially during the power play where they lost important wickets. This definitely played a big part in their last minute defeat. It's clear that Australia won because they played better and West Indies couldn't keep up with them.

I checked last three pages, no one has posted about this, so I'm going to.

A run-out which was out but no one appealed to umpire about it so there was no decision, however as Australian players saw replay they realized it was out and asked umpire about it, umpire replies with, "there was no appeal".

What do you think? IMO, it was right decision as umpire seemed to scan ground for appeal after run-out but since there wasn't any he moved on. Tim David did argue that he appealed, but I dunno about it as there was no screen in the video showing him and I didn't watch match.

I support the umpire because I didn't notice anyone from the Australian team appealing. I have no idea why the bowler didn't appeal after hitting the wicket. That part was pretty weird for sure.

Seemed like they knew they were going to win which is why they didn't really focus much on that situation.

Australia team is very strong and experienced why no doubt. But these two matches also proved that the bowling order of the West Indies team is very weak.

The pitch was batting friendly. So it is normal to see a big score. But perhaps none of us expected Australia to score a massive 241 runs. I thought Australia would give a target of 200-215. Every bowler in the West Indies squad except Alzarri Josheph has given plenty of runs. An experienced bowler like Russel gave 59 runs in his 4 overs. On an average, he scored around 15 runs per over. West Indies will definitely lose in the last match if they bowl such badly.

I agree that the Australian team is strong and experienced because they have consistently done well in international cricket. But I think it's not fair to only blame the weak West Indies bowling for the high score Australia got in the match. The pitch was good for batting so it's normal for there to be a big score. It's not realistic to expect the West Indies to stop Australia from getting a score of 200-215 on that kind of pitch. This is my point of view others may disagree. No one can say what will happen in the last match. They can eliminate the mistakes and can come up with a good condition.

In 2 nd game, Australia team against won this game and 1 st game was also won by Australia team and now their team lead with 2 games from west Indies team. West Indies team won toss and they gave a opportunity to Australia team for giving target for chasing. Australia team was set 241 runs in 20 overs by losing 4 wickets and this target was too big in 20 overs and strong in cricket world could not chase down this target.

Let's check how Josh Inglih was out. The ball is done by Charles and goes to the Holder's hand, and the process done between the shot and catch I will tell you. Charles gave the ball without any swing and after seeing his run-up we can see that he will do a slow ball in this and he also did a slow ball of 125.8 kmph, the batsman lifted his front foot and hit on the leg side but Charles was very smart and he knew that it will do so before doing the ball he changed the fielder's position, and due to this work, Josh lost his wicket.

West Indies team did not chase down this big target and entire team player was dismissed for 207 runs and lost this game by 34 runs. G.Maxwell got a player of game award due to overall effort and G.Maxwell scored 120 runs in 55 balls with twelve 4s and eight 6s and also he took down 2 wickets by catching.

Glenn Maxwell's 120 runs in only 55 balls was something out of the ordinary. He played freely with a strike rate of 218 runs. Tim David also scored 31 runs at a strike rate of 221. We really saw some fireworks from the Aussies batsmen yesterday. West Indies needed the same force from their batsmen while batting but they were not able to make big scores individually.

He is one of the most dangerous batters in the T20 format, who can make his team win single handedly. We saw how he with his cramps went on to take the Afghanistan team and made 200 runs in the men's world cup last year. A similar batting was seen yesterday when his team was struggling and all he did was repeat the same performance to get his team the win. With this win the Australian team has won the series and looking at the way these guys are playing they might win the last match comfortably.

We knew that West Indies team is strong in T20 format. West  Indies did not play well in  ODI series. So we expected the team to play well against Australia in T20 format. Although  the West Indies batsmen batted well against Australia in both  the matches, their bowling was weak. Australia  would not have been able to score a  massive 241 runs if the West Indies bowlers  had bowled a bit more controlled. The  performance of the West Indies bowlers was so bad that they lost both the matches. Even  in the ODI series, the West Indies lost due to poor bowling.

T20 world cup is approaching and performance of WIndies is very much satisfactory in this T20 series. Don't forget WIndies is scoring 200 runs in Australia, world cup T20 will be in USA and WIndies. All games so far are very much competitive and we haven't seen one sided game with Aussies dominance. Today its because of Maxwell century that Aussies were able to make 241 runs. Once you set so high target its difficult to chase.   

At yesterday's match Desert Vipers team's performance in bowling was again not good by the pacers otherwise spinners gave their best. Muhammad Amir is the only player from the Pakistan team who took retirement and still, if he wants to come back again so he can, all the players, coaches, people, and everyone is ready to see him again in the Pakistan cricket team but now I don't think so this thing because now his speed, swing, pace everything goes and now he is a simple bowler. However, now Amir was not perform so what happened because Nathan Sowter played well, and he is the man of the match.

[ZAINmalik75]

Second T20I between Aussies and WIndies is in progress. WI won the toss and decided to bowl first. We saw a good contest in first T20I where Aussies scored 213 runs batting first while WI were able to make 202 runs in reply. WI have strong hitters in the lineup but it's responsibility of WI bowlers to not give so much runs that are difficult to chase.

Now I think west indies legendary and classical era has been gone because they consecutively losing several number of different format series against same opponent and the main disappointing things is they can't even safe himself from series whitewash, first they lose with white wash entire ODI series and now they lose T20 series too by 2-0 and the only thing which west indies should done is to safe his team from another white wash for his team and pride. No doubt this single last victory will not make any difference in results but to safe thier pride. While Maxwell just like his regular routine done phenomenal performance and make a classical century batting at lower middle order position which is I think itself a big achievement because at this stage pressure is at peak and due to lack of delivery it's quite difficult to manage things like that.

West Indies team is not strong in any format of cricket. They failed to qualify for the men's world cup that was held last year. This new team that is touring Australia looks promising but they can't be termed as strong. Australia currently is one of the best team in T20 format and the reason they were able to get 241 runs was due to Maxwell. If he hadn't played se well then this new West Indies team would have given a good competition. Actually 242 runs for chase is not possible in T20 cricket unless all batters play exceptionally well or a batter does like Maxwell did yesterday.

I can't completely agree with you. The West Indies team failed to qualify for the last ODI World Cup. Their performance was very erratic. This team is really weak in ODI and Test format. Perhaps their players lack patience. So the team cannot perform well in ODI and Test format. But this team is strong in T20 format. West Indies squad players have performed well in various franchise leagues. And franchise league teams buy Caribbean players at high prices. Their batsmen are capable of doing well in the T20 format. But the performance of their bowlers is not good enough. We have seen bad bowling from the West Indies bowlers in the last two matches as well.
