T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Haunebu]

Wasn't aware that India-Lanka series started already thanks to the Olympics craze at the moment. Looks like India comfortably defeated Sri Lanka in both T20s so far though I am expecting the Lankans to win the final T20.

Jaiswal's consistency on the top across all formats is seriously remarkable and this dude stands a great chance at breaking big records if he continues performing in this manner for a long time.

Wasn't aware that India-Lanka series started already thanks to the Olympics craze at the moment. Looks like India comfortably defeated Sri Lanka in both T20s so far though I am expecting the Lankans to win the final T20.

Jaiswal's consistency on the top across all formats is seriously remarkable and this dude stands a great chance at breaking big records if he continues performing in this manner for a long time.

Don't forget cricket is gonna be included in the 2028 Olympics.

Regarding Jaiswal, he proved his worthiness in all the format but for now he may have permanent spot in T20 and Test, for ODI he is still in the contention but I hope it's important to manage to workload too for making better performance possible.

SL weakness is their batting and in both the matches they started pretty well, but once the top order gone their middle order doesn't give any fight at all.

[noormcs5]

Match resumed after a long delay so it's reduced to 8 over match. Target of 78 that looks very easy at the moment with the way Jaiswal is smashing the bowlers, 30/1 at the end of 3 overs so they just need 48 runs in the remaining 30 balls to seal this t20 series by Indian team hope they could try to chase it down sooner cause the rain can once again crash the party.

As you know yesterday, there was a match between India and Sri Lanka in which when the Indian team's innings was started then after some time, the rain started and the match overs were reduced from 20 to 8, the Indian team batsmen played good and chased the score under 7th over.
The Indian batsmen played amazing but I think there we have seen a dismissal from the coach, as we know Gautum Gambir is the chief selector of BCCI and from the last 2 years since before 2020, he was in favour of Sanju Samson and always saying he must be in a team and yesterday he played a match but out on zero, I am sure Gautum Gambir will give him chance in the next match too.

[Marvell1]

When there is an opportunity to chase in DLS method, the chances of winning the match increases. The shorter the match, the batsmen will be more aggressive. Again if no team can give a big target by batting first then it is possible to get an easy victory by chasing in that match. As we saw in the 2nd match between India and Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka set a target of just 161 runs. India needed just 78 runs to win that match. India won by 3 wickets and with that win they also clinched the series. Suryakumar Yadav scored well as the captain of the team. Their current performance is certainly appreciable and I believe they will get an easy win in the upcoming match as well.

Agreed in short over game India has more benefits because they have ten wickets and they just chased 78 runs from 48 deliveries. there is no chance for Srilanka to comeback in the game because indian top order batter is very dangerous in limited over cricket. one more thing Sri lanka gave the low target of 162 runs to India. excellent batting by Kusal Perera played 53 runs innings while other players also contributed few runs into the team total and set the target of 162 runs. When Indian team was chasing rain disturbs play and overs reduced and target has been 78 in 8 overs Indian team successfully chase the target in 7th overs with loss of three wickets hardik pandya with 22 runs reach india to victory.

Some of the methods in cricket really need to be fixed. the DLS method is definitely one of them. This becomes so much easier a team has to chase a small total like that instead of the actual total. I understand that there are a lot of variables taken in ACCOUNT. But even if people think that this method is actually good, there are steady changes that need to be made even in this method. Having this method still in 2024 is almost a crime. There is literally an AI revolution going on and in cricket they are still using the rule from a century ago. So of course this became very easy for India. And they have also been able to win easily in the end.

MLC 2024 finale: WAF vs SFU

It's always a thing with veteran guys that they perform when team needs them most, as happened today for WAF where Steve Smith played inning of 88 runs and helped team put up huge total of 207 runs, SFU shown no fightback and lost the game by 96 runs.

Yes ,you are right. More experienced players were available in the team of WAF . Smith made 88 runs in 52  balls and he played match winning inning and after that we saw Maxwell who is legendary player and I am a big fan of him after  match winning performance against Afghanistan when he made 200 in World Cup. He made 40 runs in 22 balls . San Francisco Unicorns team could not perform well in this match and  could not chase the target because target was big and that was pressure match and they should stop WAF team at 150 runs but they could not successful to stop them and after they saw the result of that.Ravindra and Took 3,3 wickets and close the match very soon.Maxwell gave all round performance because he also took 1 wicket by giving only 14 runs in 2 overs.

[Publictalk792]

I think you mixed up the India vs Srilanka series with India Women vs Srilanka Women Asia Cup Final match.

So you are little wrong my dear in the Women Asia Cup Srilanka Women team won the Asia Cup. India Women team played first and they set a target of 166 runs and they lost 6 wickets in this inning. India set a good target but it was not enough because Srilanka has a brilliant players means Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama. They both made 130 runs in total. Their partnership was excellent. I appreciate the batting of Srilanka women team. And Congratulations to them for winning Asia Cup trophy.

Yes my bad... I mixed up both matches because both was between India and SriLanka.

When I saw the Women Asia Cup final so I surprised that that match won by SriLanka Women team. Which was amazing. Because everyone thinking that India women team is looking strong but SriLanka played really well and two players which you have already mentioned are reason of their winning I also appreciate the SriLankan women team and also congratulate them on their win because they deserve that.

Sri Lanka vs India 3rd T20I Match

Today India and Srilanka will play the 3rd and the last match of the T20I series. We know that India has performed really well in this series and they have already won two matches of the series means the series is at 2-0 and I think India will again win today match. And they will finish this series at 3-0.
After that they have ODI series ahead so I think India will win that series too.

Sri Lanka vs India 3rd T20I Match

Today India and Srilanka will play the 3rd and the last match of the T20I series. We know that India has performed really well in this series and they have already won two matches of the series means the series is at 2-0 and I think India will again win today match. And they will finish this series at 3-0.
After that they have ODI series ahead so I think India will win that series too.

Yes today the last match of T20 series is going to be played between the visiting Indian cricket team and the host Sri Lankan team. We have seen all the matches in this T20 series where the Sri Lankans have been miserably beaten by the Indians. Sri Lankan team did not win a single match but they tried well in the first match but they lost that match too. As the three-match T20I series is being played between these two teams out of which two matches have already been completed even the two matches were won by the Indian team. As a result of which the Indians have secured the series win with one match to spare, today's match is just a formality for them.

Because even if they are defeated in this match, they will win the series and if India wins today's match too, maybe they will win the series by 3-0, i.e. they will whitewash Sri Lanka.

[JahriMeayer]

In the match between India and Sri Lanka, India won by 7 wickets against Sri Lanka, and they won the second T20 match to lead the series result. The Sri Lankan team scored 161 runs but lost against India, although the game was played for a short time only to be reduced to eight overs due to rain

India is already leading the t20 series by 2-0 against Sri Lanka. even they already won the series.and its true that In the 2nd match, overs were reduced for india, to 8 Overs due to rain. Otherwise we could see full match which could be more interesting. Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka bat well behalf of Sri Lanka. Besides  Jaiswal, sky and Hardik Pandya did good batting and won the match but Ravi Bishnoi took the player of the match credit as he got 3 wickets alone. Well i can see 8 hours later, the 3rd match between India vs Sri Lanka is about to start. I don't know if india could win the match again or not. If they can win then Sri Lanka will be whitewashed.

Sri Lanka vs India 3rd T20I Match

Today India and Srilanka will play the 3rd and the last match of the T20I series. We know that India has performed really well in this series and they have already won two matches of the series means the series is at 2-0 and I think India will again win today match. And they will finish this series at 3-0.
After that they have ODI series ahead so I think India will win that series too.

There are strong chance of India winning the 3rd T20 because they have strong batting and bowling line as compared to Sri Lanka. in second T20 match Sri lanka loss because of DLS methods and indian only needs 80 plus runs in right over of the match. I think ICC should make some changes in DLS method. today match Sri lanka will scored a huge total if they played first then their chances of winning ten match is high but according to win probability the chances of Sri lanka is slim while india have more then 70% chances of winning the match and whitewashed Sri lanka by 3-0.

So of course this became very easy for India. And they have also been able to win easily in the end.

I don't think there is anything better available than DLS, so we stick with what's available, despite it's imperfections, now tbh I don't know it's imperfections but one thing I know for sure is it can't replicate the usual full overs play.

What changes you want to produce in betterment of DLS and you mention AI, what exactly do you mean by that?

[Fuso.hp]

The Sri Lankan team certainly had enough chances to win this game, as the target of 78 runs in 8 overs was set by the DLS method. But Sri Lanka lost this match due to lack of pressure from the bowling side, although India lost the main wickets in this match. So in the end this match was under the control of the Sri Lankan team but within moments Hardik Pandya took them under control. 

Suraiya Kumar Yadav in particular captained this match perfectly, though a strong partnership was going to form in the end.  India won the first and second T20I matches, in which the Sri Lankan players should have been aggressive. Sri Lankan bowler Dasun Shanaka gave away 12 runs in one over and failed to pick up any wickets. He should not have bowled at all and could not create pressure from the bowling side.

DLS system makes the equation easier for those batting later. I am simply explaining it to you. Suppose you are my opponent and you bat first and score 190 runs in 20 overs and my target is 191 runs in 20 overs when I come out to bat in the second innings but I have to play 20 overs and reach my target of 10 wickets in these 20 overs. If I don't score nine+ runs per over then my required run rate will increase in the later overs and I will be under pressure and lose wickets by mis-shots which will increase your chances of winning. But when you score 190 runs in 20 overs and when the rain comes down to 8 overs, the target for me will be 80 to 85 runs in eight overs for 10 wickets. Since I have enough wickets in hand and only 8 overs, I will keep on hitting and batting very easily to reach this target, it will make the equation much easier. 

If the equation in which India lost was the same for Sri Lanka if Sri Lanka had to bat in the second innings then Sri Lanka would have won this match.

Sri Lanka vs India 3rd T20I Match
Today India and Srilanka will play the 3rd and the last match of the T20I series. We know that India has performed really well in this series and they have already won two matches of the series means the series is at 2-0 and I think India will again win today match. And they will finish this series at 3-0.
After that they have ODI series ahead so I think India will win that series too.

India is the stronger of the two teams and most likely they will win the third T20 match today. I was thinking if there is anyone from the Sri  Lankan team who can take over the game from them. Pathum Nissanka is the opening batsmen who SriLanka will be hoping to play a big knock today. Kusal Mendis is another hope for them but rest of the Sri Lanka batsmen are just below par and not capable to tackle the Indian bowlers.

Matheesha Pathirana took 4 wickets in the first T20 and got a single wicket in the 2nd test, hence he is the only hope for the Sri Lankan bowlers today.



It would be nice to bet on India today and also the odds 1.37 for India is worth taking this bet.

I don't see any chance of Sri Lanka winning this match. At least in the first two matches we have seen Sri Lanka perform poorly, it is impossible to beat India if they perform like this. The performance of the squad's batsmen has been erratic. On the other hand Indian batsmen are in great form. We got proof of this in the first two matches.

India's top order batted well in the first match. India team set a huge target of 214 runs. And India won the match by 43 runs. India won the second match easily. Both India's batsmen and bowlers are in good rhythm. This is the reason why India has more chances to win in the last match as well. Also, even if the performance of the Sri Lankan players is regular, I would say the match will be competitive. But since the performance of Sri Lankan players has been completely erratic, the Indian players are likely to dominate this match as well.

[Nalain420]

The Sri Lankan team certainly had enough chances to win this game, as the target of 78 runs in 8 overs was set by the DLS method. But Sri Lanka lost this match due to lack of pressure from the bowling side, although India lost the main wickets in this match. So in the end this match was under the control of the Sri Lankan team but within moments Hardik Pandya took them under control.

Sadly SL lost the series. SL batted first and made 161 runs in 50 overs. this Target was only possible due to Excellent batting by the Srilanka team. Kusal Perera scored a fifty and Kamindu Mendis also contributed 27 runs to the team's total, which helped them to posted a compatible target of 162 runs. Rain interprets the second inning and according to Dls method target was 78 runs from 8 overs

 India team successfully chased the target 81/3. Yashasvi Jaiswals with 30 runs was the top scorer from the India side. The Indian team played very fast raining of sixes which put pressure on SL. Overall excellent game played by India team in every field they dominated to SL team and won the series by winning the second game with seven wickets.

It is obvious that Sri Lanka is not such a strong team.  And it was against a strong Indian team.  Due to which he had to lose the match and also the series.  It was a very low target in the 50 over innings and this target was given to India which turned out to be very easy.  Sri Lanka could have won the match if they kept up their target and their pace but they failed in both.  And the pressure from India bowlers was so high that the Sri Lanka batsmen lost 9 wickets and gave an easy target of just 161.  This has made it easier for the India batsmen.  Because they had to win the match.  But this meant that they won the match before the target was reach and their batsmen did not have to work so hard and struggle.  Congratulations to India for this win and also for this series win.  The Indian team is a hard work and well performing team.  The pressure from their bowlers looks great.  And it gives less targets and their batsmen win matches easily.  They are improving their perform day by day.

[Sithara007]

Still not sure whether we will get a completed match today at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. It was still raining around 15 minutes back. It seems like there will be a delayed start (if it gets started at all). So far, Riyan Parag has been the find of this tournament. Although he hasn't performed well with the bat, he made up for that with the ball. In the first match he had figures of 1.2-0-5-3. And in the second match he was quite economical, although he failed to pick any wickets.

[N.O]

In the match between India and Sri Lanka, India won by 7 wickets against Sri Lanka, and they won the second T20 match to lead the series result. The Sri Lankan team scored 161 runs but lost against India, although the game was played for a short time only to be reduced to eight overs due to rain. A target of 78 runs in 8 overs was set by DLS, then India batted brilliantly, scoring 81 runs in 6.3 overs to win. As India is leading in the series result yet Sri Lanka team is yet to win the T20 match, so Sri Lanka must win the third T20 match. If the Sri Lankan team does not win the third T20 match then it will definitely be a whitewash, so Sri Lanka will have to play their responsibility and make good results.

India men played a very good match and won game by DLS method. They played very well and made their fans very happy. India always is a very strong team. India won every match in this tournament and won 2 out of 3 games. All the best to India for the next match.Sri Lanka is also a good team but this team they not played good and lost two games also second match. Hopefully Sri Lanka will play well in the upcoming matches.india won the ganme by 7 wickets and 9 balls in DLS method of bad weather. The 2nd match between India and Sri Lanka was played at pallekele international cricket stadium. India won the toss and batting first. The best bowling performance in the Sri Lanka man team was by Ravi bashnoi scored 4 over conceded 26 balls and took 3 wickets. Congratulations to India for their upcoming matches. The best batting performance in India man team was by yashasvi jaiswal scored 30 runs and 15 balls hitting 3 fours and 2 sixs. India total runs for 81 and won the match.

India is already leading the t20 series by 2-0 against Sri Lanka. even they already won the series.and its true that In the 2nd match, overs were reduced for india, to 8 Overs due to rain. Otherwise we could see full match which could be more interesting. Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka bat well behalf of Sri Lanka. Besides  Jaiswal, sky and Hardik Pandya did good batting and won the match but Ravi Bishnoi took the player of the match credit as he got 3 wickets alone. Well i can see 8 hours later, the 3rd match between India vs Sri Lanka is about to start. I don't know if india could win the match again or not. If they can win then Sri Lanka will be whitewashed.

India is already leading the series in the T20 format and they have won the series. Although due to the rain we could see the overs being reduced and India not having to bat much, otherwise we would have seen an interesting match. Today's match has similarly been delayed due to rain, due to which the match is yet to be tossed. India vs Sri Lanka team matches are getting delayed due to bad weather due to which Sri Lanka team is not able to complete their matches with India from start to finish. However, even though these batsmen of Sri Lanka team are batting well, they are not so good at bowling form, due to which they cannot win their fight against India. But every batsman in India can bat and bowl responsibly and brilliantly due to which they lead in every match. Anyway, if today's match is held after the rain ends, then surely India will try hard enough in the match and if Sri Lanka can't win the match then it will surely be a whitewash.

The first two matches of the three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka have already been completed with India winning. As a result, they have secured the series win against Sri Lanka with one match to spare and today they will take the field to face each other in the third match of the series. But this match is closed for now as no toss has been taken in this match as the outfield is unfit for play. We saw that in the second T20 too, after India batted first, the match was reduced to eight overs due to rain and India won that match using the DLS method.

Outfield is still not fit to play, If today's match is abandoned due to rain, maybe India will be able to win this T20 series by two nil.

[dezoel]

Still not sure whether we will get a completed match today at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. It was still raining around 15 minutes back. It seems like there will be a delayed start (if it gets started at all). So far, Riyan Parag has been the find of this tournament. Although he hasn't performed well with the bat, he made up for that with the ball. In the first match he had figures of 1.2-0-5-3. And in the second match he was quite economical, although he failed to pick any wickets.

Currently as things are going here at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium most chances we will be having start of the game in few minutes because rain is stopped now ground staff is doing his work most chances this will be ended in few minutes and start of the game is going to be at the scheduled time.

India is already won this series but still fans are desperately waiting for start because they are crazy about cricket and having good hitting from these youngsters which are doing amazing job in last few games until after end of the World Cup we have 7 games for the Team India 6 won and 1 lost mean all is on track for these new generation players, and they can keep this momentum for years with their quality and performance which is at the top right now.
