T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

~
Now if we come to T20, then the ICC T20 Indian team is stronger, while the South African team will be a little weaker here and the weakest thing is that the match is being played in the Indian stadium, so the Indian team is more likely to win the match.

T20 can be very tricky, even if the team is stronger on the particular day they might get crushed by the opponent that we had seen in many matches even AFG did that too. Gill is back and Hardik might also be playing along with Bumrah that makes the team is playing with their full potential that's not the case in Test format.

Yes, we have seen how strong the Indian team was when they included some Sr players in the team, and they had a significant advantage. In today's first T20 match, there hasn't been a good batting show at the start. The openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill both got out early and then the captain Suryakumar Yadav couldn't handle the pressure and he also lost his wicket when he made only 12 runs.

Hardik Pandya can play his role today, he made 14 in 5 balls only and hit 2 big sixes. If he can play a big quick innings here, then India can comeback strongly in the match. All they needs is runs on the board, no mater how they come.

Hardik Pandya can play his role today, he made 14 in 5 balls only and hit 2 big sixes. If he can play a big quick innings here, then India can comeback strongly in the match. All they needs is runs on the board, no mater how they come.  

Hardik Pandya changed the pace of the game in today's match where India were under a lot of pressure and India's score could have been around 140 runs but based on an innings of 59 runs off 28 balls only by Hardik Pandya, India's score has gone up to 175 runs. Now the target of 176 runs will not be easy for South Africa, especially if India can bowl in a controlled manner, then the target of 176 runs will definitely be enough for India to win. However, if Hardik Pandya had not played this 59-run innings, then it can definitely be said that India would not have been able to score 150 runs in today's match.

However, if Hardik Pandya had not played this 59-run innings, then it can definitely be said that India would not have been able to score 150 runs in today's match.

In the first T20 match between South Africa and India, South Africa decided to bowl first after winning the toss. They bowled aggressively from the start, due to which India was under some pressure after losing wickets in the beginning, but Hardik Pandya batted responsibly for the team. Hardik Pandya Hardik Pandya batted brilliantly. Hardik Pandya is unbeaten on 59 runs from 28 balls. India added some runs due to Hardik Pandya. India scored 175 runs in the allotted 20 overs, which is not enough to win. If South Africa batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can easily cross the target of 176 runs. Now let's see how responsibly South Africa batsmen can bat.

[Out of mind]

India scored 175 runs in the T20I match against South Africa, although the Indian batsmen managed to score big in today's match. If the South African team wants to win today's match, they will have to keep their batting performance good from the beginning and they will have to bat strongly. We have already seen that South Africa won the Test match brilliantly against India, and South Africa lost the ODI series against India. However, it is difficult to predict which team will win the T20I series, but the team that wins today's match will be ahead. If I think India will perform better than South Africa in this match, because India always performs well in T20I matches.

[Compromise me]

India is strong team in white ball and it's evident from ODI series result. India also have the benefit of playing at home but they also need to keep this thing in mind that South Africans are also a strong team and they have the capability of surprising the opponent. In second ODI, we saw South Africa successfully chasing 358 runs, South Africa lost first ODI by just 17 runs while chasing India score of 349 runs. Rohit Sharma and Kohli are no longer available in T20I but India have there replacement available in the form of talented Abhishek Sharma.

Hardik pandya performed very well in this match and he remained not out in this match after making 59 runs in just  28 balls and he played with strike rate of 210 and that is reason India made good score and India International cricket team gave target of 176 runs in this match which is very high total and South Africa cricket team have to play well to win this match. We saw good effort by bowlers of South Africa cricket team in the start but when Hardik came on the Wicket he played aggressive shorts and he made half century in this match which was important for his team and  Lungi Ngidi was a only bowlers who played well because he took 3 wickets in this match and no other player could stop Hardik to play big shorts .

India batted very well in the ODI series due to which they won the ODI series against South Africa. However, in the first match of the T20 series, the Indian batsmen could not bat very responsibly. From the beginning, the South African bowlers bowled aggressively, due to which the Indian batsmen lost wickets one after another and put a lot of pressure on the Indian batsmen. South Africa's batting line is very strong, so it will be much easier for South Africa to win against India against the target of 156 runs if they can bat responsibly from the beginning. Indian batsmen should have batted more responsibly. Since the opponent South Africa has performed competitively against South Africa, now it is to be seen if the Indian bowlers can bowl aggressively, then maybe the game can be competitive.

[Bitcoin Smith]

KungFu Pandaya arrived in his style with his terrifying knock of 28 ball 59 runs. I guess 175 was a good target that can be defended with Bumrah and CO.

India's bowling also started with banger of two early wickets from Arshdeep.

Required rate is climbing around 9.5RPO already and the only concern is the dew which seems to be falling heavy.

[Bluedrem]

India scored 175 runs in the T20I match against South Africa, although the Indian batsmen managed to score big in today's match. If the South African team wants to win today's match, they will have to keep their batting performance good from the beginning and they will have to bat strongly. We have already seen that South Africa won the Test match brilliantly against India, and South Africa lost the ODI series against India.

If I think India will perform better than South Africa in this match, because India always performs well in T20I matches.

I think today's T20 match between India and South Africa will be very exciting. While India batted first and scored 175 runs, Hardik Pandya, the only Indian batsman, gave a great innings of 59 runs off 28 balls. Besides, no other batsman could bat that well. Currently, South Africa is batting and they have scored 40 runs for two wickets after five overs. In today's match, Quinton de Kock has been dismissed without scoring any runs. Also, another batsman, Tristan Stubbs, has been dismissed for 14 runs for nine. Since South Africa has already lost 2 wickets, I think we will see a contest between the two teams in today's match.

India favourite at the moment to win the game because South Africa after 7 overs have lost 4 wickets and they still need 126 runs. Hardik Pandya was outstanding with bat today and smashed 4 sixes and six boundaries, due to Hardik Pandya 59 runs innings on just 28 balls India was able to score 175 runs in 20 overs. South Africa wickets are falling continuously and no player so far is able to stand on the pitch and score runs. Hardik Pandya after doing good with bat has picked one wicket also.

India managed to set a target of 176 runs. Considering the condition of the pitch, it is quite a big target. India will win if the Indian bowlers do their duty properly.

Hardik Pandya's aggressive batting allowed India to set a big target. Hardik Pandya was unbeaten after collecting 59 runs off just 28 balls. On the other hand, the Indian bowlers also started well, South Africa lost 4 wickets after 7 overs. And managed to collect only 50 runs. South Africa need 126 runs from 78 balls. India are in control of the match so far.

Today Indian team struggled early on, as their openers, who are usually capable of building a solid total, failed to make a big impact. Abhishek Sharma managed only 17 today and Shabman gave only 4. Suryakumar also out early, scoring 12 leaving India in a crumbling position. The top-order collapse made for a shaky start, but Hardik Pandya, coming in at number six, stabilized the innings with 58 runs. India'team could add better target on the socreboard, but if the early wickets hadn’t fallen so quickly. Now all are waiting for the SA batting, but Indian can snatch the victory from SA because they have very strict bowlers can give tough time to the SA. But still result is uncertain. Anything can happen on the ground. So spectators of both sides are eagerly waiting for the remaining match

[Bitcoin Smith]

I thought the game could be a close high chase thriller with the way stubbs striking the ball even after those two wickets but he fell short too and everyone fell without doing much and as a result they were al out for 74 runs.

Great start for the T20 too and everyone in the batting as well as bowling contributed in this match and without a doubt Hardik should be the man of the match.

South Africa should play well and victory the match and succeed against India. Indian batsmen have scored 170 runs which is not such a big target. Although they play well and strengthen their bowling, this target can be enough strong. South African batsmen have scored 80 runs in 11 overs so far which proves that South African batsmen are playing poorly. Although Indian bowlers are working hard and trying, South Africa can also lose in the first match of this series. If this series is seen as interesting as the ODI series, then South Africa should victory this match. Both of them are working hard, but India is working hard and hard.

India are in control of the match so far.

Hardik Pandya played a match winning inning when indian team is under pressure and his impressive batting performance assisted team indian to scored huge runs on board. South Africa disappointed batting performance bowled out all team at just 74 runs while chasing a huge total of 176 runs. The man of match is Hardik Pandya for his all round batting and bowling performance in batting they played with a strike rate of almost 200 scoring 59 runs unbeaten from just 28 balls. Hardik Pandya also bowl a magical spell picked one important wickets by just giving only 16 runs.and assisted India to win this match by a huge margin of 100 plus runs and lead the series with 1-0.

I taught indian young side will struggle to face proteas top side and they almost does and failed to set momentum early on after toss won, later Verma and heroic pandya played some ordinary innings and put his team back on track with a handosme target on board. But honestly I was surprised how brutally proteas batting order exposed although having comeback guys miller, dekock and several other natural power hitter, but credit goes to indian bowling lineup the way they keep consistent good line and length as well as try to go for batter weakness and thus as a result indian get rest of lineup with just 73 runs and officially get lead at very crucial match.

In your post, there are many confusing elements and typographical errors. It is very hard to understand at first reading, however, I can grab your idea. You are saying that South Africa needed to win this match, but they lost because India is a stronger team and their bowling lineup is much stronger. That's why they lost. So, yes, the South African team is weak against the Indian team, but at least they need to score a hundred to lose with honor.

By the way, South Africa scored 74 in 12.3 overs, and the statement "South Africa can also lose in the first match of this series" is unclear. What does this mean?

Yep, in 1st T20 game between India and South Africa, India defeated South Africa by 101 runs. India opens inning first with Abeshak Sharma and Shubman Gill but both the openers don't give a positive start to the team and Abeshak scores only 17 runs and Gill scores only 4 runs but in middle order Tilak Varma scores a well inning of 26 runs and also Hardik Pandeya played a well knock of 59 runs and at the end of the innings India put a strong target of 176 runs for South Africa. South Africa opens inning with Quinton de kock and Adam Markram but both the openers don't give a positive start to the team and De Cock gone on duck and Markram scores only 14 runs and after that the whole team panic and falls off wickets continue but Bravis played a well inning of 22 runs in this tough situation but at the end of the innings South Africa all out on 74 runs and India won the game by 101 runs.

Batting against the target of 176 runs set by India, South Africa's batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets one after another. No batsman could bat responsibly for South Africa. Due to which they were all out for just 74 runs, which was a great shame for South Africa. When India gave a target of 176 runs to South Africa, I thought that South Africa would bat very responsibly and win against India by batting responsibly, but I was wrong. India's bowlers bowled very well, every bowler bowled very well, due to which India won a huge 101-run victory against South Africa.

SA batting flattened against Indian bowling in first T20I. The whole SA team got out in just 12.3 overs after scoring just 74 runs and that results in 101 runs victory for India. The target given by Indian team is not a big win but SA batsmen today were not able to stay on pitch and score runs. Today game revolves around Hardik Pandya, he was man of the match because he was good with bat and good with bowl. Four T20Is still to be played and SA need to work hard to win this series.  

[M47AK16]

I thought the game could be a close high chase thriller with the way stubbs striking the ball even after those two wickets but he fell short too and everyone fell without doing much and as a result they were al out for 74 runs.

Great start for the T20 too and everyone in the batting as well as bowling contributed in this match and without a doubt Hardik should be the man of the match.

As India scored 175 runs, I was also sure that South Africa team have gone for fierce chase but in this first game of 5 matches series Hardick Pandya and Arshdeep Singh was big difference while all Indian bowlers contribution was great but these two done good damages with this big win now most chances this series is going to be exciting.

Both teams were balanced but India's white-ball form is currently at another level, new generation players are so skilful and have good technique to handle things on their way. In today match, top order failure was not problem as the lower orders still have plenty of potential to do their best.
