T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Farhan99]

The Group D Sri Lanka vs South Africa match is underway, though today's match will be a tough battle between the two teams. Also, we know South Africa have good players, they are more experienced in bowling and batting, also Sri Lanka have good players. But as the Sri Lankan team is in batting form right now, they may have been under a lot of pressure at the start today due to which they are not able to put up a good batting performance. With the loss of a wicket already reducing their run rate, the Sri Lankan batsmen are in a bit of a slump after the dismissal of Pathum Nissanka. However, if Sri Lankan team cannot score good runs in today's match, they will not be able to win against South Africa in any way. And I think South Africa will win today's match, as Sri Lanka's run rate is very low, it may be difficult for them to score 150 runs till the last minute.

The pitch at County International Cricket Stadium in New York is working completely against the batsmen. It is swinging as each ball falls. The batsmen try again and again but cannot match the ball with the bat. Not much runs can be expected in these conditions. Bowler is getting more benefits than expected. Only 22 runs have been collected by the Sri Lankan team in the power play and they are quite behind here. On the other hand, everyone has an idea about the South African team, how aggressive they are.

Today Sri lanka batting was like they was playing street cricket no player took responsibility on him sri lanka team made only 77 runs for all out in 19.1 overs. Excellent bowling by south Africa bowlers purely they dominant on every batsman who came on crease what an excellent spell by Anrich Nortje takes 9/4 wickets in 4 overs and Ottniel Baartman spell was also brilliant he gave only 9 runs in 4 overs the way they put pressure on Sri lanka batsman from start of the innings. South Africa team always performing well in icc tournaments unluckily they chock in knockout matches today they need to chase this lowest total under 10 overs so that they don't worry about the run rate in this tournament

[noormcs5]

In the first innings of that match, we also thought that Papua New Guinea gave too low a target in front of the West Indies team but we also saw that the West Indies team faced some difficulties in chasing it up. I know they chased it when the 6 balls were remaining but just imagine, if they are playing against New Zealand who takes place inside their group then for sure they lost because they had a normal target of over 150 so I think that was just too much expectation from them that we will see them as a good performer team.

Chase seals West Indies' jittery victory against spirited PNG

It might be a shock to see score like 130- 140 especially after the end of IPL season but you also need to know the avg score on that venue is 128 means different playing condition and in WI scoring 160-170 is more than enough to defend the opposition.

The Providence Stadium has hosted 13 T20I matches so far.

The average score, first innings score at the Providence Stadium, is as low as 128.

Some of the bowlers who were completely ineffective in IPL will likely to be a star of this T20 WC due to pitch condition so brace yourself for nail-biting chases as the tournament progresses.

It seems like we shall be seeing low scoring matches in this T20 World Cup and anything above 150 or 160 should be par score. In the earlier match today, Oman and Namibia struggled to make 109 runs in 20 overs. Now we are seeing Sri Lanka all out at 77 runs. I know it depends from team to team as Sri Lanka may not be in the best of their forms but still, the general idea is that these pitches in the United States have something for the bowlers and you need to be a technically sound batsman if you want to make good innings.

In the current match, South African bowlers really won the game for their team. Check out their bowling stats, you won't find any bad bowling and almost everyone took wickets without giving much runs. Anrich Nortje spell of four overs is just too good  

[tsaroz]

After that super over in Oman vs Namibia game, Sri Lanka is too creating histories. 77 is the lowest team total for Sri Lanka for not only the world cups but also overall T20I games. Sri Lanka winning the toss chose to bat but they kept on losing wickets. Only 3 players from Sri Lanka crossed to a double digit score and none scoring above 20.
Anrich Nortje having a good bowling spell. South Africa would surely win it and play aggressively so that wicket loss won't have much effect. Group D looks fun.

In today's match between South Africa and Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan team did not bat very well. From the beginning, South Africa's aggressive bowling, due to which no Sri Lankan batsman could bat responsibly, the Sri Lankan team was bowled out for only 77 runs. Today the South African bowlers bowled very aggressively from the start, every bowler bowled well, especially Anrich Nortje, who bowled brilliantly and took four important wickets for Sri Lanka. In today's match against South Africa, Sri Lankan batsmen should have batted responsibly. Kusal Mendis scored the maximum runs for Sri Lanka with 19 runs off 30 balls. South Africa will not have much problem to win the target of 78 runs given by Sri Lanka. De Cock is batting responsibly for the team despite losing wickets at the start of South Africa to bat against the target of 78 runs given by Sri Lanka.  de Kock also T. If two batsmen in Stubbs can bat responsibly, South Africa will easily win against Sri Lanka.

West Indies vs Papua New Guinea

The first innings of the match between West Indies vs Papua New Guinea has ended. West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl. Papua New Guinea batted first and scored 136 runs in the allotted overs. West Indies bowling line has been very good today. Between these two teams West Indies team is very strong. West Indies batting and bowling lines are both stronger than Papua New Guinea. West Indies went to bat with the aim of winning and collected 52 runs after losing 1 wicket in 6 overs. West Indies need 85 runs to win and they have enough wickets in hand. I think West Indies will easily chase down the target.

In the first innings of that match, we also thought that Papua New Guinea gave too low a target in front of the West Indies team but we also saw that the West Indies team faced some difficulties in chasing it up. I know they chased it when the 6 balls were remaining but just imagine, if they are playing against New Zealand who takes place inside their group then for sure they lost because they had a normal target of over 150 so I think that was just too much expectation from them that we will see them as a good performer team.

Right i was also thinking that target was made by PNG team in 2 nd game was too low runs according to 20 overs game and considering opponent strong team. But PNG team bowling lineup showed a lot of effort and good struggle putting West Indies team in a critical position for chasing 136 runs. They players and team made it tough for West Indies team to chase target but disappointing moment is that in end West Indies team chased down all target. If R.Chase did not perform well in game and did not scored good runs 42 West indies definitely lost gam and he made 42 runs in 27 balls and he hitted four 4s and two 6s. Congratulations West Indies for win this difficult game of World cup. S Bau from PNG team side wala also showed great effort in game by scoring 50 runs half century in 43 balls with hitting six 4s and one 6s.

I have no idea how the pitches from USA is going to behave because yesterday we saw high scoring thirller between Canada and USA which made it looks like a complete flat track but on the other match it's the other way round so we only come to know their pitches as the tournament progresses for now conditions in WI is more challenging for batting than USA pitches in my opinion.

Talking about SL they are completely out of touch for very long time and looks like disoriented side to me while some associate nations are playing far better than some of the international teams in the recent past.

[ZAINmalik75]

And the current situation is saying that they have lost 5 wickets and have made 70 runs. They have played 13 overs already. So uf they will hold the wickets so I think they will made almost 120 runs. And I think Namibia will chase this target easily but we can't underestimate the bowling of Oman. But by looking at the performance of Oman I don't think so they will win today match. Namibia is looking strong.
By the way I am waiting for the second match which will be more exciting because South Africa and Srilanka will face each other.

Oman were looking good in qualifiers game but when it come to play T20 World cup matches they unable to Handel pressure and here the figures/numbers they delivered, they have shown bad performance in batting and due to that they scored a very low target of 109 but when it come to defend that target surprisingly they perform extra ordinary and get most of thier wickets before the required but unfortunately match the target by last ball and thus it goes to super over where Oman unable to handle mounting pressure and thus thier opponent scored 21/0 but Oman unable to match the required and lose thier important match of the tournament which really set momentum for them. Anyway in second match sirilankan were really in big trouble and it's look like they will lose the match let's see till end how they recover things

South Africa chase down the target 80/4 in 16 overs and clinched their first victory of world cup with two points Dasun Shanaka spell was excellent he gave 6 runs in 3 overs with one wicket. The main reason of Sri lanka losing the match is that their batsmen played an irresponsible innings they failed to make a good partnerships thet lost wickets early which causes their lost. South Africa team took advantage of this moment and they put pressure on Sri lanka batsman this match will affect on Sri Lanka net run rate.

After 2023 world cup Sri Lanka team had played all of their matches against low ranked teams like Ban, Zim and AFG. SL performance against weak teams was good but they have no planned how to survive against strong teams Not in this world cup last few world cups thave have not performing well as they were playing earlier

[MrNata]

The Sri Lankan captain did decide to bat first after winning the toss, but the Sri Lankan opener pair could not use that decision properly and the Sri Lankan batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets in the beginning. The way Sri Lankan batsmen are batting is not very satisfactory because already Sri Lankan team is under a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets. Sri Lankan batsmen must bat responsibly from the next batsmen otherwise they will not be able to give South Africa a big target. Charith Asalanka and Kusal Mendis these two batsmen.  Must bat responsibly if they can bat responsibly then maybe Srilanka team can score good runs. But South African bowlers say they are aggressive from the start and they will try to break the partnership of these two batsmen, Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka will have to bat very carefully. The current score of the Sri Lankan team is 40 runs with four wickets in 10 overs. Sri Lanka's current score looks like they might be able to score 150 runs if they bat responsibly.

Sri Lanka had a poor performance against South Africa in their first group stage match. Sri Lanka's first innings was all out for just 77 runs. Nortje performed  not very well in the IPL tournament that ended a few days ago, but in today's World Cup match, he bowled brilliantly in their first match and he conceded just seven runs in four overs took 4 wickets. Sri Lanka try to defend but South Africa chased down 78 runs in 98 balls and they won by 6 wickets. Playing on such pitches in World Cup format like T20 can be questionable.

Yes it is true that Sri Lanka team had a poor performance against South Africa but I will say that it's there batting performance not the bowling performance. Because they are quiet good at boiling performance today if we see the scoreboard then South Africa team win this match but it took 16.2 overs and they also lose their four wicket.
Actually I am hoping that South Africa gonna be win in 10 over against Sri Lanka but unfortunately they also lose much we get in under 100 run in the regards of T20 format. Anyway I have been seen few times that Sri Lanka batting line up is gradually downish I think Sri Lankan team management shoot keep I on this for the next tournament.

[JunaidAzizi]

South Africa chased down the target 80/4 in 16 overs and clinche.........

Yes, you are right in today's match Sri Lanka showed a bad performance against South Africa. This was the first match and we hoped that they would get a handsome score but they were alll out at 76. The batsman's performance was too bad they played just like they were playing for the first time. In my view, I think they need to stay on the wicked and then catch the strategy and psychic of the bowlers and then they start hitting but here they ignore all the basics and start hitting the ball. In this ma,tc h all their babatsmenook pressure and you are the opponent team took advantage of this and restricted them to 70s. Let's see what will next happen in the coming matches whether they survive are not.

[N.O]

What a start to the T20 World Cup 2024. USA vs Canada turned out to be a runfest though the Americans actually blew away the Canadians despite the target being pretty good thanks to poor bowling and fielding.

Some of the sixes were absolutely monstrous. If Canada held on to their catches properly, they would have stood a better chance at winning. Also, their extras screwed them too.

Today first match of the T20 World Cup 2024 started is ended with unexpected results. Canada score highest runs near to 200 runs target for the United States of America. I didn't think Canada scored the 194 runs total in the first match of the World Cup. United States of America smoothly chased the biggest target with the help of Aaron Jones played an unbeaten innings of 94 runs and beat the Canadian team.

USA won the 1st match with a lot of good runs. USA is a great team and also performed good in series with Bangladesh team. They have consistently shown their ability to score well and secure victories in match. USA won by 197 runs by 7 wickets with 14 balls. First USA won toss and USA elected to filed first. USA is a powerful in cricket with a history of winning matches consistently. The team of Canada need to work hard and play with dedication in oder to win. The Canada teams needs to work very hard.l. I hope Canada they will play better in the next matches and win this series. USA man played a fantastic match. The best match was played by Aaron Jones USA. Canada didn't play the match very well made very few runs and lost. Best of luck USA for upcoming matches. The best batting performance in the USA man team was by Aaron Jonas scored 94 runs of 40 balls hitting 4 fours and 10 sixs. USA won the match because of Aaron Jonas brilliant performance and got player of match.

South Africa  went down to bat against the target of 78 runs. Although under a bit of pressure after losing the wicket in the beginning, the next batsmen did not have much problem to win the responsible batting, South Africa won easily. However, the Sri Lankan team did not bat that well against South Africa, but the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team should have batted responsibly. On the other hand, the South African team started their journey by winning the first match of the World Cup with their great performance. But I will definitely blame their batting as the reason why Sri Lanka lost the match today, if their batsmen could have scored 170 runs or 150 runs, the game would have been very competitive and Sri Lanka would have won. South Africa bowling line is very strong they can bowl very well against any team and they won very convincingly against Sri Lanka. But the performance of South Africa bowlers today was very outstanding they bowled very well due to which they bowled out a strong team like Sri Lanka for 77 runs. Of course being bowled out for 77 runs is very embarrassing for Sri Lanka. There are great things to say about the Sri Lankan team but they did not bowl that well in today's match if the run target was big then Sri Lanka would have bowled well too.

Very bad performance from the Lankan team everyone was not expecting this kind of Performance which shows zero resilience against the peace attack of South Africa. This is not what you have to do on the World Cup stage where everyone is seeing you especially your country people just look at the USA the way they played indeed it's against CA but it's still a team and the pressure of the World Cup and the USA Playing it for 1st time but they performed brilliantly well.

Africa is a hot favorite with such experienced players and in the starting overs, Sri Lanka didn't find momentum it's very difficult for Srilanka to win this game Africa is all over in this match and dominating from the 1st ball.

None of us could have imagined that Sri Lanka would perform so badly, especially as the wickets fell in the beginning, Sri Lanka could not turn around. Moreover, five top-order batsmen were out in 45 runs after 32 runs and here Sri Lanka completely failed. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Sri Lanka could have increased the score, but in the end, back-to-back wickets saw Sri Lanka all out before the allotted overs. In particular Nortje's ball Sri Lanka could not deal with but the 4 top order batsman was dismissed for just seven runs.

You are right I agree with you. The way the Sri Lankan team batted against South Africa really disappointed thousands of cricket fans. Sri Lankan batsmen should have batted more responsibly because the Sri Lankan team performed fairly well in batting but they batted very badly in the first match of the T20 World Cup against South Africa. If the Sri Lankan team could have scored 150 runs against South Africa in today's match, the game would have been competitive even if there was no chance of winning. But the South African team has to be praised, they have performed very well in both batting and bowling, due to which South Africa bowled out a team like Sri Lanka by 77 runs. But the way Sri Lankan batsmen have batted badly against South Africa in today's match, surely Sri Lankan batsmen are expected to bat responsibly in the next matches, otherwise they will return with a failed mission in T20 World Cup.

In last few months we are having Sri Lankan at their lowest level with their performance in ODI world cup now few fans were expecting we will have increased performance, but sadly first game of this event bring huge disappointment for them which is alarming for them and Sri Lankan management as well.
Even situation is not bad at all for them with their next few games are against low rank teams which can give them boost for the qualifying into super 8, but they need to work on their batting with their bowling is better but with this quality of batting they can do anything good in international cricket.

Very bad performance from the Lankan team everyone was not expecting this kind of Performance which shows zero resilience against the peace attack of South Africa. This is not what you have to do on the World Cup stage where everyone is seeing you especially your country people just look at the USA the way they played indeed it's against CA but it's still a team and the pressure of the World Cup and the USA Playing it for 1st time but they performed brilliantly well.

Out of the four matches that have been held in this year's T20 Men's World Cup, the match between South Africa and Sri Lanka has been the worst, and I don't think it is reasonable to accept that a team like Sri Lanka will be bowled out for 77 runs in a T20. Yesterday, South Africa's pace attack was so controlled that Sri Lanka was bowled out for 77 runs. Moreover, Sri Lanka's batting disaster has reached such an extreme that several top order batsmen of Sri Lanka have been dismissed consecutively.

You are right, Sri Lanka batted so badly that it looked like Sri Lanka had come to pass the time, not to play the ICC World Cup. And if we talk about the head to head comparison of the two teams , here both the teams have been sitting in the ups 17 times out of which south Africa have won 12 times , while Sri Lanka have won the matches only five times and behind them in the last five Matches . South Africa have won 5 matches and Sri Lanka have not won a single match . So in this sense South Africa side is looking heavy and in this match they have proved that South Africa is heavy on the Sri Lanka team by winning this match .
