T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Unknown Op]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Australia scored 241 runs in the second T20I which was unusual especially on a day when Mad Max played an aggressive innings, Australia could have scored any score. But West Indies' collection was not low in comparison but West Indies were able to score above 200 runs in the last two T20 matches. If Maxwell had not played such an aggressive innings that day and if Australia's collection had been below 200 runs, Australia would have lost the second T20 match. However, if Australia can be kept under 200 runs in tomorrow's third and final T20 match and West Indies can play innings like the last two T20 matches, then West Indies will have a chance to win.

The best players always perform the best. Maxwell is a very patient and experienced player, he single-handedly scored a century in this match and helped his team to the winning end. The players of the Australian team performed so well that the Australian team won consecutive T20I matches. The West Indies team was under wicket pressure from the start due to which they were forced to lose at the last moment. The West Indies team lost nine wickets under the bowling pressure of the Australian team only to come at the last moment and lose by just 34 runs.

Yesterday Amir did not play well. The Champions Trophy Amir is no more with out-swing and in-swing, with yorkers, bouncers, line & length, and most importantly pace. Amir played from Pakistan for such a short time.

In 2009, he played his first World Cup under Younus Khan's captaincy and Pakistan won that T20 World Cup. In, and in 2011 he fixed and due to fixing he visited jail for 6 months, and after that came in 2016, and not only him Muhammad Asif was also fixed with him. Who was the best world medium fast bowler ever, but he did not come back and say good bye to cricket.  Salman Butt, Muhammad Asif, and Amir fixed a match together.

The West Indies team is definitely a strong cricket team in the T20 format whether one agrees or not.In the current T20 series between Australia and West Indies, although the West Indies team is very strong, they are losing to Australia mainly because of their batting and balling failure. Despite having many strong players in the West Indies team, they are not able to put up a good batting performance.

Watch the West Indies team players dominate the franchise leagues of every country in the world as they play their T20I series against Australia. Despite having so many good players in the West Indies team, only one player managed to score a half-century in the first T20I while everyone else played poorly.Similarly, in the second T20 match, one player of the West Indies team scored a maximum of 63 runs and the rest did not give a good performance for which they scored 200 plus runs but lost the match.

The West Indies and Australia team will meet in the final match of the series tomorrow in Perth, Australia. In this match, the West Indies team will enter the field with their full strength to face the Australian team. Now it is to be seen how best the West Indies team can give their best performance in the last match of this series. West Indies team has to win this match to save the honor.

Australia was the top classed team there is no comparison of Australia in every format of cricket. Australia alreafy won this series against west indies by 2-0 now they have looking to whitewash the west indies by Winning the third consecutive game. Wset indies gives very disappointed performance in T20 cricket they have not any quality bowlers that restricted Australia under low score they should improve their bowling performance to win match in final T20 game.

The West Indies team isn't strong, but they used to give unexpected performances. The team had lost its 5^th wicket at 65 runs, and from there they've reached the score of 207 runs, which is really great in my view. It is really hard to chase a target of 241 runs in T20 cricket. The winning credit goes to Maxwell for his 120* runs out of 55 balls. In both the T20 matches, the West Indies played well, though they weren't able to win. In the first match, it was a loss by 11 runs.
