T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[noormcs5]

Finally now we can see the World Championship of Legends at ESPNcricinfo, today we have Semi-Finals. The first Semi-Final will play between Pakistan Champions and West Indies Champions, while the second match will play between Indian champions and Australia Champions.

By the way, the Indian is very stronger but every body knows Australia in playoffs as there is the biggest example of 2023. Pakistani openers can easily make 150 against any team as we have seen them against India while they made up to 210 in 120 balls and until 150 score, Pakistan don’t had a loss of even a single wicket.

Its good idea as now we are having just three games and ESPN/STAR showing games live with first game was won by Pakistan Champions after having 198 runs into their inning while chasing West Indian Champions ended their inning with the 20 runs short, so Pakistan Champions are not into final without losing any game,

Yesterday there was a match between Pakistan Champions and West Indies champions which was the semi-final. There we saw seen easy win by the Pakistan team. Pakistan gave very good target but still until the last overs we had a fear of West Indies while there was no chance for them but still we had this because that is the team who is known as ‘Black Strom’ and if we see their history in 2016 so that is why it is some type of fear. However, Pakistan won this match and made it through the final now let’s see what will they do in the final against India.

Zimbabwe's squad lacks experienced players. Also their fielding is very bad. Apart from SIkandar Raja, there is no other player who has been able to consistently perform well. If Zimbabwe really want to improve themselves, they must be more diligent. I don't expect any improvement from this team unless they work hard. In batting, bowling and fielding, the Zimbabwean team is far behind.

Yes you are right. I am still thinking that how they won the first match.
Well India has won 2 matches and  today is the 4th match between them. So I hope that India will win today match too. And now the situation is saying that India will win the series with 4-1. Because the Zimbabwe is weaker as compare to India team. India has some new players but they are giving their best. I hope India will continue their performance in the future too.

The match will start within a few minutes at Harare Sports Club. I also think that India is going to win the match. If we look at the performance of India, they had a lot of trouble in the first match. But other than that India did not face any kind of trouble in the second and third match.

@Publictalk792, If you ask me how they won the first match, I will say actually, Zimbabwe was very lucky to actually win the first match against India . The thing is, if India is able to play properly, Zimbabwe will never have any chance. No matter what the format is.

But of course, Zimbabwe does still have a chance to actually win the series. Even though it does look almost impossible, it is still a chance. But I believe India is going to win the next match as they are definitely the better team.

The third match of the series between New Zealand Women vs England Women is going on now. England won the first two matches of this 5-match series by big margins. England won the first match by 59 runs. And England won the second match by DLS method by 23 runs. We have seen excellent batting and bowling from England in both the matches.

As usual, England's bowlers bowled well in the third match as well. New Zealand women's team managed to collect 141 runs losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Sophie Devine remained unbeaten on 58 runs. Besides Suzie Bates managed to collect 38 runs. Batting on a target of 142 runs, England lost the wicket of Maia Bouchier in the first over. Still I think England women will win this match. England Women's team has some talented batsmen. A target of 142 runs is not a big target for England.

In 5 games WT20 series between England women vs New Zealand women team, In third match of this series T20, England women team again defeated New Zealand women team with 6 wicket. New Zealand struggled hard to win game and making 141 runs and set this record and lost 8 wickets and with good performances from Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine batsmans. But England women team chased target with so easy and no hard work led by Alice Capsey unbeaten with 67 runs. England's showed great performance in every match they played previously and I think they might win this series and also remaining matches too. New Zealand display very poor performance in both ODI and T20 series and their team need more improvement both in batting and bowling. With two matches left of this series and  New Zealand already lost this series and to avoid whitewash their team need one win.

Well, I missed this but I think it was worth taking the risk on Zimbabwe with these odds. 

Today is the match of Zimbabwe vs India, I think the Zimbabwe team must have to do bat first if they win the toss because at the first match, when they do bat first then that match was won by  Zimbabwe and after that in the next two matches, both times the Indian team won the matches because they have done batting first and gave target to Zimbabwe.

In every match, at the start the Zimbabwe team played very well but later when they lost a wicket then the full momentum changed which is why they had to check their teamwork.

India C vs Pakistan C

Finally World Championship of Legends is now going to be end because today is the final match between India and Pakistan. In the whole season the performance of Pakistan and Australia teams was excellent. But fortunately India and Pakistan qualified for the Final. And this will be the tough match because both teams are strong and both have legends who has given their lives to the cricket. So let's see who will perform well in today match. I hope Pakistan will win the final match.

Just after some time, the greatest match is ready to start, the all-time rivalry, no doubt, there are in league, international and anywhere and not only in cricket, in all the sports, it is the biggest rivalry which is Pakistan vs India, and if it would be final then such an amazing type of excitement is here.

A few days back when Pakistan vs India played together in this legends league then there was only that match who was able to full the stadium and after that match, there was no match in which we saw a fully loaded crowd and today is the greatest FINALE.

Today is the match of Zimbabwe vs India, I think the Zimbabwe team must have to do bat first if they win the toss because at the first match, when they do bat first then that match was won by  Zimbabwe and after that in the next two matches, both times the Indian team won the matches because they have done batting first and gave target to Zimbabwe.

Today it seems that Zimbabwe will make a good score and don’t know why today there is feeling like the first T20I match. Until this time, the Zimbabwe team is playing very amazingly, still three overs are left and they made up to 120 which is very good score for them and I hope in these three overs, they will make more than 150+ then it would be great.

Also Sikandar Raza is on striker, he is very near to completing his fifty but hopefully, he will complete it.
And we see Tushar Deshpande making his debut too in this match. A memorable moment for him.

4th T20 match today Zimbabwe scored 152 runs with the loss of 7 wickets in the first innings. However, this short run against India will not allow Zimbabwe to reach the target of victory. Because already the Indian team is going to bat great to meet the target of 153 runs but they have not lost any wicket yet. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are the opening batting duo and their pair has been going great and they have already amassed 71 runs in the partnership in 7 overs. The way India and the team are currently batting, they can easily win and if they win today's match, they will win the T20 series. At the moment, India need to collect 82 runs from 78 balls to win against Zimbabwe, it will be easy for India to meet this target.

With a strong team in India, a target of 153 runs was not a difficult task at all.  Moreover, in today's batting pitch, Zimbabwe batted in ODI style, so it was easy to collect runs, but the slow pace of top order batsmen enabled Zimbabwe to score up to 152 runs for today's match. So far India is batting but has not lost any wicket as a result India is unbeaten on 116 runs.  So very likely India will beat Zimbabwe by 10 wickets today.

India has already won the fourth T20 match by 10 wickets against Zimbabwe. The few runs that Zimbabwe batted first today was very easy for the Indian team as they easily reached their milestone without losing a wicket. While Zimbabwe lost 7 wickets to amass 152 runs, the Indians did not lose a wicket, perhaps the batting difference here. Indian batting line-up is very strong compared to Zimbabwe which goes without saying they proved it.

By winning the fourth T20 match against Zimbabwe, the Indian team managed to clinch the T20 series with one match to spare.

After a humiliating defeat in the first match, the Indian team dominated and won the three consecutive matches. Indian young players have performed well in every match. The batting of the two Indian openers in today's match has impressed everyone.

Batting first, Zimbabwe set a target of 153 runs. I don't expect better batting from the Zimbabwean batsmen. Sikandar Raja played an excellent innings of 46 off 28 balls. However, the performance of Zimbabwe's bowlers was poor. The bowlers of Zimbabwe could not take a single wicket. The Indian team reached the target of victory without losing any wicket. Jaiswal was unbeaten on 93 off 53 balls.

Sikandar Raja's 28-ball 46 off 28 balls was fine with a team like India but later all other batsmen's score was not good at all. Madhevere opened with a slow innings of 25 runs off 24 balls and Marumani played another slow innings of 32 runs off 31 balls which saw Zimbabwe's total of 70 runs in the first 10 overs. If the batsmen in the top order had played an aggressive innings, Zimbabwe's total might have gone above 180 runs. Except Sikandar Raja no other players of Zimbabwe played aggressive innings so in this match Zimbabwe had many chances to score runs but only due to slow innings Zimbabwe lost today's match.

haha I have seen many gamblers who love to take risks. It is doubtful whether Zimbabwe had a 1% chance of winning against India. Still many were betting on Zimbabwe to win. Because if luckily Zimbabwe would have won, they would have profited a huge amount of money. So many took this risk.

But in the end as usual we saw India win. Indian team got a very easy win in this match without facing any accident like in the first match. The Indian team reached the target of victory in just 15.2 overs. Zimbabwe's bowlers are not experienced. We have been witnessing poor performances from Zimbabwean bowlers for a long time. Also Zimbabwe's fielding is very weak. Zimbabwe needs to improve in these two place. And I think it is possible to improve quickly in both these areas if the players are diligent and practice more

At the moment, India need to collect 82 runs from 78 balls to win against Zimbabwe, it will be easy for India to meet this target.

As I said in the previous time, India played a great attacking mode in this match which I already mentioned in my post yesterday that this type of performance is likely to happen.  Although Zimbabwe performed fairly well today in terms of batting, but in terms of bowling, Zimbabwe's performance seems that in the first match there was another team who played great.  Anyway, India won the series with one match in hand, but if India had not lost the first match, they would have been able to whitewash the Zimbabwean team in this series.

Yes you are right. I am still thinking that how they won the first match.
Well India has won 2 matches and  today is the 4th match between them. So I hope that India will win today match too. And now the situation is saying that India will win the series with 4-1. Because the Zimbabwe is weaker as compare to India team. India has some new players but they are giving their best. I hope India will continue their performance in the future too.

Even after watching India lose the first match, my prediction was that India would win the series by 4-1. Although this is India's second tier squad, every player in this squad is more talented than Zimbabwe's players. I can't find any quality player in Zimbabwe's squad other than Sikandar Raja. On the other hand, every player in this Indian squad impressed us by performing brilliantly in the last IPL.

Like the second and third matches, the two Indian openers batted well in today's match as well. Zimbabwe set a target of 153 runs. India won the match without losing any wicket. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 93 runs off just 53 balls and Shubman Gill was able to score 58 runs off 39 balls. We have not seen any Zimbabwean bowler bowl well in this match.

Yeah, the Zimbabwe odds were too attractive (more than 6-7) and many would have tried their luck and hoped for an upset, which did not happen. Anyways this is gambling where you have to take risks and sometimes those risks are rewarded too. Still one more game to go between these two teams and people can still try their luck on Zimbabwe.

By the way, I am glad that I missed the bet today otherwise i would have placed it on Zimbabwe and lost it. 

[Haunebu]

India absolutely smoked Zimbabwe thanks to superb performances across all departments. Their bowlers bowled clinically while their batsmen were clearly in a hurry to finish the game really quickly.

Already decided to place a bet on India in their final T20 against Zimbabwe. Called 4-1 in India's favor after India lost against Zimbabwe in the first match and it looks like I might be right.

[Out of mind]

India's win by 10 wickets was really interesting winning this match and India went ahead in the equation making the series result 3/1 while Zimbabwe won only one match. India played brilliantly in today's match due to which they got a great joint in today's match two opening batsmen finished the game. The partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill was excellent as they both scored 156 runs and won the match.
Player of the match Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal --- ( 93/53)
Shubman Gill        --- ( 58/39)

India won the T20 series with one match in hand. In 4rt T20 batting first Zimbabwe scored 63 runs on the opening wicket. 9th over of the match marumani was out by Ovoshek Sorma. Zimbabwe scored 152 in their first innings. Sikandar Raja and Dion Myers also played very good innings. Sikandar Raja played 46 runs from 28 balls, two boundaries, and three over boundaries in his innings. Khaleel Ahmed took 2 wickets.  India has got a very brilliant start two openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill give no chance to Zimbabwe bowlers. India just managed their target of 156-0 in 15.2  overs. India after losing the first match came back very strongly.

Except Sikandar Raja no other players of Zimbabwe played aggressive innings so in this match Zimbabwe had many chances to score runs but only due to slow innings Zimbabwe lost today's match.

Zimbabwe's two openers have performed well. But both batting was very slow. Wessly Madhevere scored 25 runs from 24 balls and Tadiwanashe Marumani scored 32 runs from 31 balls. If these two batsmen could bat at a somewhat smart strike rate, it would have been very easy for Zimbabwe to collect 170-180 runs in this match. Apart from Sikandar Raja, no other batsman could play a big innings. On the other hand, the bowling of Indian bowlers was quite good. Especially Ravi Bishnoi only 22 runs in 4 overs. Shivam Dube took a wicket with 11 runs in 2 overs.

Along with the Indian bowlers, the two openers batted brilliantly. I was looking forward to see Abhishek Sharma's batting. But due to the responsible batting of Jiaswal and Gill, the Indian team reached the target of victory easily, India did not lose any wicket.

Really Indian members played this match with impressive performance in batting Inning and their first two openers displayed strong batting partnership both achieved all Defeating target of Zimbabwean squad. When Zimbabwe squad emerged victorious in first match of this T20I competition, I believe that their sqaud will gave very trouble time to Indian squad in next 4 matches but I am sad about their performance in matches with low quality bowling inning and low quality of their batting Inning performance. Today their batters have displayed good performance with managing good scores as Defeating target of 152 . But in bowling inning, their bowlers did not pick the wickets of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Yashasvi Jaiswal 7 more scores need to complete brilliant century and 93 scores he collected with out losing wicket and Shubman Gill also showcased fantastic performance with collecting 58 scores.
