T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Farhan99]

After a highly competitive competition in the form of World Cup, now India is off to one of the meaningless T20I series with them facing Zimbabwe for a 5-match series. I don't know how the Indians are going to benefit from this. Younger players such as Samson maybe able to improve on their career stats, but we need to remember that Zimbabwe is a team that failed to qualify even for the T20I World Cup. The BCCI could have rather setup a series with Nepal or Namibia.

The series started on the 6th of July in Zimbabwe. there is No doubt Zimbabwe is a weak team in T20 cricket and No benefits for the Indian team playing with a a low-ranking team that didn't qualify for the T20 World Cup 2024. I think the Indian team is a good forum after winning the World Cup they will easily win the series and 5-0 whitewash Zimbabwe in this series. The benefit of playing the series against low ranked Zimbabwe team is that they will test new players in the team after the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in T20 Cricket. BCCI needs to test new players in this series in replacement of Virat kohKohlid Rohit in the playing XI.

I really wanted South Africa to win the title in yesterday's final. I think this trophy could have been an achievement for the South African team. But the truth is that the South African cricket team has not been able to compete with the current Indian team. However, they had plenty of chances to win. However, India and South Africa were two unopposed teams in this World Cup. South Africa did not lose a single match in the group in which South Africa was in. On the other hand, in the group India was in, India did not lose a single match, even in the final match. So this year's World Cup was perfect for India.

I think when the South African team could not make good runs and could not hit the boundaries at some points of the game then there was must to run singles & doubles and perform running between the wickets but when they run then that was too slow which was not even possible for them to play like this.



If they play in this style then for sure, they would lose this final and it happened. Inside this lose, there is their own fault, there are some small things those has too much importance in the game and carry you to victory and must have to focus on them. One thing is not to chock at times when you are so near to winning at the 16th over, needed only 24 runs to win.

Jasprit Bumrah is the life insurance of the Indian team frankly speaking. He removed Travis Head when it looked like Australia was cruising in the quarter final and slowed South Africa to a crawl when the equation was extremely easy for them.

Also, Sky took one of the best catches in the history of the sport. South Africa were amazing in the finale, but India were next level amazing which is why they deserved the trophy.

He is the game changer bowler. India hold his overs for the last overs. Just because of this. They know that he is the one who can increase the require run rate. And he done it. When he came we know that the remaining balls and the runs was almost equal but his entry increase the difference again. By the way South Africa fought well but unfortunately they lost the match. I have a soft corner for South Africa. I was thinking they should win this trophy because they deserve that because they didn't win the trophy before. By the way I hope they will continue this performance in future and they can win the trophy in the future.

Being a cricket fan, I was very sad to see South Africa lose because there was a time when they were winning the match very easily but Surya Kumar Yadav's catch changed the outcome of the match. the catch was Running from the boundary would have gone back quite a bit, but the Indian team is to be praised for the way it performed in the final be like a champions team.

South Africa were amazing in the finale, but India were next level amazing which is why they deserved the trophy.

I don't think SA were amazing (I appreciate Klassen's inning though), they choked huge, 30 runs off 30 balls, in T20 should have been an easy as pie, imagine this scenario against the Aussies and see how they do it.

I'm glad India won, they had that desperation to win but this was SA's match.

I disagree completely. South Africa pushed India into a corner couple of times throughout the match which no other team could do in this particular tournament which is why they were 100% amazing.

This was India's match at some points and South Africa's match at some other points. They did choke at the end, but India almost choked too thanks to Kuldeep and Axar.

Now, I'm not sure if I should give credit to Indian bowlers but there has been definitely few times where India felt to be on losing side at one point even though in the end they emerged victorious; and those times are Vs Pakistan(Pakistan had to do what 6 RPO with 8 wickets in hand?) , Vs Australia (India unable to take Head's wicket and Australia would have won, and remember this was 200+ runs chase)

This was India's match at some points and South Africa's match at some other points. They did choke at the end, but India almost choked too thanks to Kuldeep and Axar.

Except the last two overs, it felt to me SA's match.

When South Africa needed 25 runs from 26 balls to win we all assumed that South Africa will win this final match today and they will clinch the title. But later on we suddenly saw a lapse in rhythm from the South African side, especially when the monstrous batsman Heinrich Klaasen was caught out by Hardik Pandya at the keeper. Then the South African team was completely knocked out of the game due to which they could not get back into the match. Still, the South African team tried well to win but when David Miller's catch was superbly looped from the boundary by Surya Kumar Yadav, South Africa's defeat was assured as they lost the final match to India by seven runs. That catch by Surya Kumar Yadav was a game changer.

At the end of 15 overs, the match was completely under the control of South Africa. At the end of 15 overs, South Africa lost 4 wickets and collected 147 runs. Experienced batsmen were at the crease, and South Africa needed 30 runs from 30 balls to win. But the scene changed very quickly after that. After the loss of the wicket of Henrich Klaasen, the match went completely under India's control.

I expected better batting from Miller. But Miller could not bat well in this match. Bumrahn and Arshdeep bowled very well in the death overs. Bumrah conceded only 6 runs in the 16th and 18th overs. India won the match because of this controlled bowling.

[Insanity]

Kenya vs Malawi 5th match between two teams has already started.Malawi team came to bat and scored 92 runs for 7 wickets in 19 overs.Malawi team still has 1 over left.Waiting to see how many runs they can score in this 1 over.I don't think so.  Malawi team can give a target above 105 runs. If Malawi team can give a target of 150 runs in today's match then this match can be enjoyed by the fans of both teams.

Finally, India was able to win by seven runs. It was actually unbelievable to see. South Africa literally lost a match where they needed 26 runs from 24 balls. And they had six wickets in hand if I am not wrong. From that position, they have lost the match. I understand that Bumrah had two overs left. But still, South Africa should have done much better.

Yes, Bumrah has probably single-handedly won India the match. Otherwise, India was surely going to lose the match. I thought South Africa would be a little more clever. As they already know that Bumrah has 2 overs left, they should have managed the runs keeping that in mind. I guess they actually did that but Bumrah caused them a little too many problems. One of the greatest chance that South Africa probably ever had in the World Cup has slipped away from them.

India's World Cup win is an emotional triumph, bringing tears of joy to every Indian and marking it as one of the greatest World Cup victories ever. It's still hard to believe that South Africa lost a match where they needed just 26 runs from 24 balls. The game suddenly turned in India's favor. And we witnessed pure competition between bat and ball, with Bumrah delivering a masterclass performance that contributed to India's success. It was a treat to watch Bumrah bowl. It's unfortunate for South Africa, but they were fortunate to even make it to the Super 8, having had a few lucky breaks along the way. They should be proud of their achievement and also grateful for their good fortune.

In this world cup we have two matches which surely bring India on back foot but due to their superior bowling and well-equipped attack they fight back and able to win first game was against Pakistan then we have no challenge for them and at the end against South Africa they were on back foot but amazing captaincy by Rohit Sharma and quality bowling bring them on win which is surely one of the best achievement for them in years.

In final game we have 3 early wickets which give good advantage to South Africa, but then we have good fight back through Virat Kohli and Axar Patel again in bowling we have good fight from the South Africa even at one point mostly were feeling cup belong to South Africa but in last three overs India fight back and have historic win which will be remembered for years.

The ICC T20 Men's World Cup 2024 final match was the most competitive and innovative. This final match attracts the people much more to watch. Firstly I thought that South Africa win the match because I wanted this T20 World Cup champion, South Africa. Also, they have quality but finally, they're lost.

I was proud of the Indian Cricket Team because it's one of the strongest teams in the world. Also, its cricket board is strong all over the cricket industry. Before India lost many times because their bowling line wasn't strong. Now India was fulfilling both the side's batting and bowling. Indian player choice was a great decision for winning this world cup. In this World Cup India was an unbeaten team that wasn't defeated in any single match.

Deep congratulations Indian Cricket Team and Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

What a match and what a final it was simply amazing and memorable to watch. Many Congratulations to team India they richly deserve the trophy and they continually thrived for this Cup for at least the last 3 years and played finals of different ICC events.
The way the Indian pace attack changed the game towards their court is simply amazing and a good cricket awareness from the team overall especially the SKY catch at the boundary line was amazing to watch.
Hard luck for SA very close to their 1st every title in any ICC Event but short by 6-7 runs.
What a performance they gave is amazing.

Congratulations to team India and their coaching staff and management and MR Dependable (THE WALL DRAVID).

Hardik Pandya out to the main player of the South African team at that time and that was the time when we all lost out hopes of the South African team, yes I am talking about the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen which was taken by Hardik Pandya.



Hardik Pandya gave the ball onto the offside and it could be a dot ball but he tried to hit on it and make some runs but that was the trick of the Indian team to out him and Heinrich Klaasen touched the ball and Pant caught it up which means another good player got out for South Africa and more trouble for them in this run chase.

No I think they deserve such results because they are chocker of the history team and nothing will be benifical for them unless they change entire team mind set. It's true that some people put allegations on ICC for favouring India in sky catch at such crutical stage where miller can easily divert results in thier favour but I think it's all about third umpire and ICC so soon investigation will get things out of some cheating or wrong decision has happened. Anyway I am really surprised by indian start retirement first the king kohli they the captain Rohit and then the main backbone of thier middle order jaddu took decision to retire which is quite shocking and now I think it will took long time to filled thier place as they are huge impactful player. But I hope BCCI has handsome number of bench player so they will tool thier places but it will took time to full dilute and adjust himself on his place

Lmao. What investigation are you talking about? This is all just silly talk basically. Sky clearly took the catch properly without touching the boundary rope and dumb haters are just trying to spread nonsense.

Anyone with a half-decent brain wouldn't even bother discussing this stuff since it wasn't controversial at all. Think!

definitely, I think it's not a catch it is a trophy of the World Cup that was taken by India. The catch of Suryakumar Yadav is controversial on social media and South Africa fans say it was a six because the boundary was behind the line and Suryakumar Yadav's foot was on that line but I don't think the third umpire is always right. South Africa lost the match only the bad performance of all rounder players M. Jansen and South Africa Skipper A. Markram didn't perform well in the final game. India bowlers strong comebacks and defending the 25 runs from the last 4 overs of the final. South Africa once again proves they are chocker.

Hey bro, South Africa are known to be a sloppy team which was made more evident by their final defeat. 30 runs needed from 30 balls when Henry Klaassen got out At this moment if South Africa had played with a single run per ball then South Africa would have easily won the match. 99 percent of cricket fans thought South Africa would win the cup but I was in no way prepared for South Africa to lose like that. However, I only blame David Miller for the loss of this match. Despite having such a responsible and aggressive cricketer like him, why finish the game like this in the last over. In no way will I blame anyone else in South Africa, only David Miller was responsible for losing this match.

[Nanga Parbat]

I think when the South African team could not make good runs and could not hit the boundaries at some points of the game then there was must to run singles & doubles and perform running between the wickets but when they run then that was too slow which was not even possible for them to play like this.



If they play in this style then for sure, they would lose this final and it happened. Inside this lose, there is their own fault, there are some small things those has too much importance in the game and carry you to victory and must have to focus on them. One thing is not to chock at times when you are so near to winning at the 16th over, needed only 24 runs to win.

South African players didn't play well in last five overs. When they need 30 runs out of 30 balls ,they should play with defense and they should single double but then Bumrah applied pressure on South African team and South African team could not handle the pressure of final match. I supported to South African team but they disappointed me Klassen made a match and played excellent inning but he should stay on Wicket more two overs . Virat Kohli also played crucial role in final and played excellent inning and if he out on 2 runs then we could see the different result. Also Bumrah and Arshdeep combination is best and I will give credit to all team of India became when you win, as a team win and when you lose ,as a team lose.Indian team is champion and now they proved it and all World saw that.
