T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Zimbabwe vs India

I didn't think Zimbabwe would beat a strong team like India. Zimbabwe surprised everyone by beating India. India won the toss and decided to bowl. Zimbabwe batted first and collected 115 runs, a target of 116 runs was not a big enough target. Chasing the target of 116 runs in T20 format was very easy. But India went down to chase the target and were all out for 102 runs. Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel, their performance was very bad, if they all could have done well then India would have won. Sikandar Raza and Tendai Chatara both bowled brilliantly. Congratulations to the Zimbabwe team for defeating a strong team India.

Yes it is really surprising how a world champion game that won the 2024 world cup lost the match against a weak team Zimbabwe. Even before the match started I was thinking that India team will win these match but the kind of performance Zimbabwe team has given is really commendable. I think the Indian team will make a good comeback in the next matches and win the series.

Well, everyone were thinking that India would easily win this match and so are the bookies and those who bet on this match. However, the tricky part was India played with a b-side sort of team and they didn't able to beat the Zimbabwe team. It does not matter to India much as i think they are experimenting new players for thier team but what about the gamblers who took bet on India in this match.

I am sure many people would have lost yesterday's bet and those few who chose Zimbabwe as a winner they must be enjoying as Zimbabwe were underdogs in the match and the odds were high for Zimbabwe.

However, this is not India's World Cup winning squad. The World Cup squad was different. However, since India won the T20 World Cup a few days ago, losing against a team like Zimbabwe at this moment is a shame for a big team like India. We were definitely expecting to see a better performance from the Indian players. But the team performed very badly.

Every batsman in the Indian squad played badly. Shubman Gill scored 31 runs and Washington Sundar scored 27 runs. No one expected that India would be defeated on such a small target.

The two teams will meet in the second T20 match today. Zimbabwe players are confident. On the other hand, the Indian players will want to avenge the first defeat. I feel Indian players today will not make the same mistake.

Anyway hats off to the west Indies team they did a brilliant bowling today.

May be you are right because I think no one thought that West Indies will gonna win this match. Because the West Indies team is weaker than the India team, moreover they are the champions of the last ICC World, so it is natural to think that India will win this match.  And on the other hand West Indies team took only 115 runs which is an easy target for all teams in T20 format.
More over as you mentioned I will also say that West Indies team bowler really did awesome performance specially the guy Sikandar Raza and the Tendai Chatara these two bowler make huge wicket and that the give credit for this win if west Indies.

These two cracked me up. First dude thought it was West Indies who defeated India(Not Zimbabwe) while the second dude blindly followed up on his post by talking about West Indies in detail.

Iconic spammers! You dumdums are messing up these interesting threads with your spam on a regular basis. Embarassing stuff.

After successfully completing the T20 World Cup journey, India travel to Zimbabwe with a completely new team where Shubman Gill has been announced as the captain. India went on tour to Zimbabwe but India was favorite there but India lost against Zimbabwe in the first T20 match. The players who made it to the playing XI in the last match have performed very consistently in almost every match of the last IPL tournament but we haven't seen a glimpse of their performance in the national team jersey. The second T20 match of the series against Zimbabwe today will surely try to turn around the team India. If Team India loses again in the second T20 match, it will be very difficult for them to win this series.

LOL fu*ck me up!!! I was also typed the Zimbabwe team. The only thing is that the players of Zimbabwe and West Indies team look the same, so even though I saw the scoreboard of Zimbabwe vs Indian team, and was also go with the previous members lol .
By the way, have you seen that I have mentioned the name of the Zimbabwe team players name(Sikandar Raza and the Tendai Chatara) even though I typed West Indies? LOL!!.. I don't think I've ever made such a mistake in this thread before.
And typing mistake is a general matter, it is better to correct the user instead of saying like you. Correcting one's little mistake may not reduce the fun.
But thanks for your mention, I will double check the name when posting next time.

I was also not imagined that India is the world champion of 2024, who beat South Africa and Australia in world cup stage and win final by giving a very good bowling performance. they will lose to a team like Zimbabwe, because Zim has improved his bowling and batting.  Zim out class performance beat India in first game. India completely new team and alot of stars players of IPL they couldn't perform in this match I hope India will make a comeback in the second game

Galle Marvels vs Kandy Falcons in today's 9th match Kandy Falcons team came out to bat.They scored 26 runs for 2 wickets in 4 overs.Dinesh Chandimal got out for 1 run in 3 balls.Dinesh Chandimal did not bat well in today's match.Mohammad Haris 3 balls.  Got out for 0 runs. Galle Marvels team started a great performance in the batting line. Kandy Falcons team batting seems to be under a lot of pressure.

Did you watch the final match of 2024 Men's T20 World Cup?If you have seen it, please note that the players who were in the Indian squad in the final match were not the same players in the first T20 match of the series against Zimbabwe. The team that India sent to play the T20 series against Zimbabwe is their second tier team.

Zimbabwe team is relishing a T20 win against India after eight years after winning the first T20 match against India. Congratulations to them for that, they performed really well.Especially the bowlers of the Zimbabwean team bowled the best. The Zimbabweans completely shut down a youthful India team and advanced to the series with a first win.

New Zealand women's team is in a bad state right now. New Zealand players performed very poorly in the ODI series against England Women. The New Zealand women's batting in particular was very weak. The team lost all the matches in the series. And today, New Zealand women's team is not playing well in the first T20 match against England women's team. Today we saw a bad performance by New Zealand women's bowlers.

After white wash defeat from England women team new Zealand continue his T20 series journey with a first defeat In starting match and I am damn sure that it will be another whitewash T20 series T20 too because NewZeland neither show any resistance while bowling first and neither showing any batting potential while bat first or second during chased so that the things that Indicate England dominance over them despite having several quality name but unable to Handel situation. Anyway while batting first England team oppner played phenomenal and here they set the momentum and to be honest just like south African team make a comeback I taught new Zealand will done same by following thier foot steps but rather then disappointment they didn't give anything to his loyal and good expecting fans.

Now the Indian team is playing the second T20 match of the series against Zimbabwe. India conceded a humiliating defeat in the first match. Although everyone bet on India's victory, Zimbabwe team won the match. Will India make the same mistake in today's match? Or win by a large margin?

India won the toss and decided to bat today. India seemed willing to give a big target today. But today's pitch is also bowling friendly. So India will lose wickets quickly today too if they don't bat carefully.

Abhishek sharma is batting a bit better today. But captain Shubman Gill got out after collecting only 2 runs. At the end of 4 overs, India team collected 28 runs and lost one wicket.

Abhishek Sharma is batting well today. In IPL we saw Abhishek's aggressive batting. Abhishek Sharma is batting very aggressively in today's match. He scored 53 runs off just 33 balls. This is his first fifty in international cricket in an Indian jersey. And he scored a fifty through the over boundary. He is playing well.

Shubman Gill does not play well. On the other hand Raturaj Gaikwad is batting very carefully. Gaikwad remained unbeaten on 29 off 26 balls. India's collection in the first 7 overs was only 40 runs. But at the end of 11 overs, India collected 102 runs. India scored 62 runs in 4 overs India will win today's match without doubt. India will provide targets around 170 at least. On this pitch, Zimbabwe does not have the ability to win by batting at such a big target. Also Indian bowlers are very talented.

After a humiliating defeat in the first match, today we saw some incredible batting from the Indian batsmen. I never imagined today that India would provide such a big target. The team collected only 40 runs in the first 7 overs. Indian batsmen started very slow. Shubman Gill is not batting well today. Even then we saw a blistering innings from Abhishek and Gaikwad. However, the Zimbabwean fielders missed the catch of Abshishek. Abshishek Sharma scored a century in just 47 balls.

Along with Abhishek, RInku and Raturaj Gaikwad batted brilliantly. Gaikwad scored 77 runs from 47 balls. RInku Singh was unbeaten with 48 off 22 balls. Rinku and Abhishek batted at 210+ strike rate today.

India team has given a target of 235 runs. My guess is that Zimbabwe will lose by at least 90-100 runs today. Zimbabwe lost the important wicket of innocent Kaia in the first over.

Wow, Zimbabwe playing a good innings right now, they are playing with a run rate of 11 and their required run rate is 11 too, which means this time they are playing as expected.
The last over where was three runs scored in total was not good for Zimbabwe and they should maintain good scores in every over but overall they are playing good and if they will win this match from here then no words for them. After 2.5 overs, Zimbabwe made 40 scores. Zimbabwe is going to be a good team in future and this series would be reminded of them.

The two teams will meet in the second T20 match today. Zimbabwe players are confident. On the other hand, the Indian players will want to avenge the first defeat. I feel Indian players today will not make the same mistake.

This time no chance for the Zimbabwe team to win this time against India as this time Indian team is full prepared and they have made 234 runs in 20 overs and this target will not chase by Zimbabwe under any circumstances.

India bat and hand Sai Sudharsan T20I debut

If we remember Zimbabwe made 115 and to make that they have done too much struggle and this time for sure India will win it and we want this type of performance at the next matches too then India will win this series, and maintain their success in the next matches. Now, the Zimbabwe team came to the bat and let’s see what will they do in their innings but they are already struggling to make runs.

India winning the toss and decided to take revenge from Zimbabwe. India team playing well today and set a huge total of 234 runs in a loss of 2 wickets. From the Indian team Abhishek Sharma played an outstanding inning and scored a well deserved century. Ruturaj Gaikwad playing well today scoring 77 runs from just 47 balls and Rinku Singh also played an amazing inning of 48 runs from just 22 balls unfortunately, missed a well-deserved century by 2 runs short. Zimbabwe poor bowling performance today giving too many easy runs and it's very difficult for Zimbabwe to chase this target.

India vs Zimbabwe

That is India tour to Zimbabwe. And they have 5 T20I matches series. And today they will playe their first match in Harare. This is one sided match. Because we know that how India plays. And how much India is stronger as compare to Zimbabwe team. So I believe that India will win today match easily. Because Zimbabwe is a small team. But we can't underestimate them because cricket is unpredictable. So anytime anything can happen. So let's who will win.

Bro you got wrong I think many of us really underestimate Zimbabwean team but I think they really showed that international duty experience really matter no matter how strong young un experienced team are you facing like we have seen in toady first T20 match of the series between indian and Zimbabwe. When Zimbabwe scored 115 I taught it gona be easily chased for a.sharma who really smashed top bowlers on thier home ground in IPL but surprisingly he got out on golden duck and here the momentum a bit shift to Zimbabwe but later the way top performers like gaikward , parag, Rinku the best performer of IPL got exposed really create difficulties for his lower middle order and his team and thus they unable to Handel pressure and lose first match of the tournament. Hope if Indian team didn't make things right then it will be a huge disaster for them

Congratulations to Zimbabwe for beat India in first t20 game. India after winning toss and bowls first Zimbabwe team made 115 runs from indian side Ravi bishnoi takes 4 wickets it seems like that target was very low and not enough to defend but Zimbabwe team did it. All credit goes to Zimbabwe bowlers who bowled out Indian team on 102 runs excellent bowling performance by Zimbabwe bowlers especially Tendai Chatara and skinder raza who took three three wickets. This is the first match of India team after world cup but no player was playing today from their t20 world cup squad except Shubman gill Rinku singh and Avash Khan who were also reserve players of World Cup squad so this is the B team of India was playing against Zimbabwe We could not such results consider an upset Zimbabwe team fought hard and won

The most important role in defeating Zimbabwe is their bowler.  If their bowlers had not shown such performance, this match would have been lost.  Because their target was also easy which could be easily achieved in 20 overs.  But the Indian batsmen could not complete the target of 115 and the whole team will be out in 19 overs.  India took the decision to bowl.  And their bowler took the target of 115 by stopping the runs and taking wickets.  But their batsmen wasted their bowling efforts.  If seen, the batting from both sides is not smooth and bowling from both sides has been good but Zimbabwean bowling was more pressure due to which Indian batsmen could not meet the target and will lose the match badly.  Congratulations to Zimbabwe for this win and may they keep playing like this and keep winning matches.  If seen, Zimbabwe is not a strong team and India will lose against them.

Most were quick to raise fingers to this young squad after yesterday's defeat, and boys came back today with a bang. Glad for Sai's T20I debut, but I'm particularly waiting for his test debut, I feel he'll achieve heights in that format.

You are right but we never expected both outcomes. In the first match, everyone thought that chasing 115 runs will be daam easy but it proved otherwise.
In this match, people were fearing how will India perform after their first defeat but no one thought that they could have 200+ runs in the match. Seems like the Indian team is doing the unexpected 

India has squared the series 1-1 with a strong 100 run win. This will give a strong message to the world that even with a new playing XI, the Indian team is capable of winning the matches. 

This is a series of 5 T20s, Will Zimbabwe come back or Indian will take over the series from here?

[Bitcoin_people]

After losing the first T20 match, India stepped up their game in the second match and won by a huge margin against Zimbabwe. In today's match, India scored 234 runs in the first innings with the loss of only two wickets, apart from the excellent batting by the opening batsmen, they scored excellent runs. Abhishek Sharma showed great batting performance in today's match he scored 100 runs century.  Moreover in today's match Rinku Singh and Ruturaj Gaikwad made great scores and remained unbeaten their batting performance was very good. But today the Zimbabwean team could not play a very good match due to which they lost by a huge margin of 100 runs. However now the two teams are tied the series result is now 1/1 however Zimbabwe team will try to play well against India in the next match.

Anyone watching Major League Cricket? I really don't know what the organizers are thinking. The matches start at 1am Indian time. Given the fact that India is the largest market for cricket, this is something that seems illogical for me. They can schedule the matches at morning time in the US, which would be like prime time in India. But they doesn't seems to be interested in doing this. With all the star-studded lineups and glitzy arrangements, MLC could have raked in a large share of revenue from India if they had slightly changed the schedule.

80% of the entire cricket world audience in India is usually Indian so cricket is incomplete without Indian audience. American schedule time means completely opposite in our country, it means that no spectators from Bangladesh can enjoy here because Bangladesh has no opportunity to enjoy this game instead of sleeping in the middle of the night. So apparently the schedule could have been changed in this major league cricket considering the spectators according to Asian time. The ICC should have arranged the schedule of the Indian subcontinent instead of playing in American time, considering Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
