T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

It seems nobody is talking about the the TWorld Cup Cup issues, wthe here the Indian cricket councilto  refused relovenueshe vanues for Bangladesh. Bangladesh seems to be going to boycott the World Cup if the Indian cricket council does not relocate the venues. So, another history is going to be made. Even though Indian Cricket Council already set a timeline for Bangladesh cricket board to inform about their decision, Bangladesh cricket board already said that they are not ready to change their decision. These Politicians are now destroying the games. No hope the Bangladeshi cricket fans!

Good luck everyone.

I had posted on the other thread (cricket discussions). There have been no further developments on this topic during the last 24 hours. As of now, everything is unconfirmed or just rumours. Scotland Cricket has clarified that the ICC hasn't reached out to them. But they have also made it clear that they are ready to participate, in case they are asked to do so. PCB has issued a direct threat to the ICC, saying that they will pull out from the tournament if Bangladesh is not allowed to change the venues. A lot depends on how the ICC chairman (Jay Shah) handles the issue.

New Zealand tour of India

So today T20I series is starting and India and New Zealand will face each other in Nagpur. As we know New Zealand played really well in ODI series. And they won the series with 2-1. They are very confident so they will try to win this match too. India has home advantage. So they also have chances to win this match. But at this we can not say anything that who can win. And I think that this match will be very exciting. So let's see who will win.

New Zealand tour of India

It is exciting feeling in Nagpur with India wanting payback over their recent loss in one day series with very sure New Zealand team. It is important test run on Nagpur ground that is called slow and low and so friendly to spinners such as Kuldeep Yadav of India and Mitchell Santner of New Zealand, who are captains of both teams in that order. Although India has home edge, they have to find way in stopping Daryl Mitchell who is now best in the world batter against spin in middle part of game. As far as I am concerned, most important part during night will be toss, since ground tends to become very difficult to hit in second half.

After the one day series, T20 series to start. In the ODI series, New Zealand were dominating to the Indian team but now the question is whether can New Zealand do something better in T20 format. Also this series carries much importance for both teams for the World Cup.

However, Arshdeep Singh could join the team India pace attack only if this condition true that India is not heavily depending on their spin attack, however if we talk about the pitch of the first game so it is average when it comes to white ball format while in test games with red balls, he is pretty good for bowling.

You all know who the chairman of the Indian cricket council is. It is Jay Shah, who does not have any cricket background; however, he is the chairman of ICC (Indian cricket council), and we all know why that. Everything is possible in Indian cricket when it comes to political power. Today was the last day from Indian cricket council for the BCB to decide if they want to play in India or leave the world cup. I don't think Bangladesh cricket board has any plan to visit India and play the World cup. As a cricket fan and as a Bangladeshi, I do support BCB in this decision.

You are absolutely right because India team has many players who always play well in their home ground and they always play well in the IPL and domestic matches on that grounds and they will try to hit well in this match and they will try to make 200 plus target in the first inning as they will bat first and New Zealand International cricket team won the toss and elected to bat first and their decision could be right if Indian team made 150 to 160 runs in this match. Abhishek Sharma will try to hit long sixes from the start of the match and he is hard hitter in this game . Hardik Pandya is also part of team which is plus point for that team and he played very well in the last T20 series which they played against South Africa.

After winning the toss, the Black Caps will bowl first. This New Zealand T20 side looks stronger than their ODI team, but the current Indian T20 squad is probably one of the most hard-hitting teams ever. Everyone in this lineup can clear the ropes and turn a game on its head. If even one batter gets set, he can take the match away from the opposition. Today India will bat first. Hopefully, Team India put on a strong performance and set a 200 plus total in the opener of the series.

India vs New Zealand first T20I of this series already started at Nagpur. New Zealand after winning toss chose to bowl first, this is interesting decision from them because they are already won ODI series and now checking their strength in this format.

Before ICC T20I World Cup, it is good for both side, India had fierce start of their batting, but New Zealand always have ways to fightback, they conceded good number of boundaries but now their bowlers removed two batsmen which gave them relief at the end of 5 overs, it is 54 for 2. Jacob Duffy and Kyle Jamieson both took 1 wicket each and Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan gone, now Abhishek Sharma and captain cool Suryakumar Yadav on crease for India.

Afghanistan vs West Indies

Afghanistan vs West Indies are evenly matched teams. Both teams have a chance to win. There is no doubt that this match will be very competitive.

Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat. They lost Gurbaz's wicket on the first ball. And they lost their second wicket for 19 runs. Afghanistan managed to score 51 runs in 6 overs of the power play. Ibrahim Zadran scored 32 runs and Rasooli scored 15 runs. Both the batsmen are batting responsibly. I estimate that Afghanistan will give a target of 180+ today.

1st game of T20I Afg and WI has ended with the victory of Afg. Afg defend the strong target and won the game. Afg batted first and set a very strong target of 188 runs with the lost few wickets in allotted twenty overs. Afg putting a strong target Afghanistan don't take it in easy way and showing a very high quality bowling and utilizes their bowling and fielding properly which helps a lot in the successful defend for Afghanistan. Darwish Rasooli gives his best in the game

It's good for both India and New Zealand to play a five match T20I series in India just before the T20I world cup that India is co-hosting along with Sri Lanka. After 9 overs, India score is 106 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Abhishek Sharma the man in form has scored 59 runs of just 26 balls that include 5 sixes. If India keep playing like that then they are likely to score over 200 runs which won't be an easy target for New Zealand to chase. The key challenge for New Zealand at the moment is to get the wicket of Abhishek Sharma as quickly as possible to stop India from giving a hefty target.

Hard hitting Abhishek Sharma hitting all around with 84 runs on jut 34 balls with the help of 8 sixes and 5 boundaries, India is currently on road have big total at the end of 12 overs they are having 149 runs for the lost of 4 wickets, Nagpur is falling in love with batting of Abhishek Sharma who is going to be next big in this format for the India after retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Current run-rate is @12.4 which is clearly indicating 200+ is going to be scored by India while New Zealand bowlers are looking clueless in these 12 overs of this match. My bet on India is going to be profitable for most chances.

Abishek Sharma were truly on fire like through his master blaster innings he set three big milestone at very first clash against new Zealand, he complete his 5000 t20 runs of his career as well as scored fastest half century by any Indian against black caps at shooter format and also retain top spot of icc t20 player standing which is absolute cinema. India has 185 at loss of 6 down at 15th over so still alot more to go so most expectedly Indian will put Atleast 225 around on board for kiwis to chase, which I think will be safe target as they already have home advantage and the most important bumrah back at lineup.

Today is the second T20 match between West Indies and Afghanistan. Last time, Afghanistan had a great victory and won one-sidedly, which is why they are confident for this game to beat West Indies again.

Ibrahim Zadran and Darwish Rasooli are so good when it comes to batting especially when the team is losing wickets and looking for partnership, while if we talk about bowlers, they have wonderful combinations such as Ziaur Rahman and Rashid Khan. They already have a good start in this match where they reached 74 runs and lost only two wickets. Still almost 10 more overs left in the first innings.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Good to see some runs from Surya and Rinku because they have dedicated role to play in the WC in their respective position and they haven't made good numbers in the recent past. But Sanju and Ishan, failing now? Probably this is the moment in their life and just answer with runs or the selectors will justify why they haven't been picked up in the past.

And Arshdeep strikes in the very first over itself could be the dream run before the T20I WC.

I have bet on Afghanistan's victory. Hopefully, Afghanistan will not disappoint us. The West Indies batting order is quite weak now. Only if the Afghan bowlers can bowl with some control will they win.
The West Indies bowlers failed to bowl well today as well. West Indies took the first wicket of Afghanistan for 9 runs. They lost the second wicket for 37 runs. As expected, Afghanistan made a big collection in the third wicket partnership. Afghanistan lost their third wicket for 152 runs. Afghanistan was able to give a target of 190 runs in 20 overs. This is a pretty big collection. It is a difficult task for this West Indies squad to collect 160+

Abhishek Sharma will be the key batsman for India in the upcoming T20 world cup. He has the capability to perform well in consecutive matches. Sanju Samson will get more opportunities, his performance was above average in recent matches. Where Ishan Kishan is playing an international match after so long. I'm expecting them to do well in the upcoming matches. India is going to win the first match by a big margin.

Another impressive display of batting by Afghanistan top order as they scored 189 runs in second T20I of series at Dubai today Ibrahim Zardan gone quickly but Sediqullah Atal 53 and Darwish Rasooli 68 have another century partnership which made things interesting for their team.

West Indies is now at their lowest level due to poor bowling and lack of coordination between board and players even still they have few top quality players for this format which can bring West Indies on good level but no one is interested. Afghanistan bowlers and batsmen dominating this series with their impressive bowling and batting, most chances they could be winning match and series today.

New Zealand tour of India

So today T20I series is starting and India and New Zealand will face each other in Nagpur. As we know New Zealand played really well in ODI series. And they won the series with 2-1. They are very confident so they will try to win this match too. India has home advantage. So they also have chances to win this match. But at this we can not say anything that who can win. And I think that this match will be very exciting. So let's see who will win.

Despite losing the ODI series, India is trying its best to win the T20 series. They were able to give a huge target in the first match. The Indian team has collected 238 runs for the loss of 7 wickets.

Abhishek Sharma played a devastating innings today too. He collected 84 runs from 35 balls. Abhishek Sharma batted at a strike rate of 240. Apart from this, Rinku Singh played a very important innings of 44 runs from 20 balls. After giving a target of 239 runs, India has the highest chance of winning.

New Zealand is trying to win. But New Zealand needs 118 runs from 42 balls to win. They will have to collect about 17 runs per over on average. This will not be possible against the experienced Indian bowlers.

Yes, it looks like India is closing in for a big win. Needed 108 runs from 39 balls so it's 15 RPO to win this match but Glenn Phillips again showing incredible batting performance and show what he can do with his batting too not just fielding.

5 solid bowling option and with Dube to fill in couple of overs if needed looks like a more complete combination to me.
