T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Danica22]

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.

West Indies are likely to lose today's match as well. Batting for a target of 190 runs, it is difficult to win. And West Indies could not start the innings well either. They lost only one  wicket in the 6 overs of the power play, but could collect only  20 runs. Even at an average  of 5 runs, they could not collect. West indies will have to collect an average of about 11.5 runs per over to win. Afghanistan's bowling order is quite strong. West Indies will lose today by at least 20 runs. Such a poor performance from a T20 specialist team like West Indies is really disappointing.

I am very upset with the performance of West Indies. West Indies will be defeated by a big margin today, that is for sure. This squad does not have the ability to win the target of 190 runs.

West Indies have collected 86 runs in 12 overs. They have lost 3 wickets. None of the four batsmen in the top order are playing well. Brandon King is unbeaten on 29 runs off 29 balls. Hetmyer is playing excellently, he is unbeaten on 34 runs off 13 balls. Besides, Lewis had 13 runs off 17 balls and Athanaze had 8 runs off 12 balls. If they can pick up Hetmyer's wicket, an easy victory awaits Afghanistan.

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.

India scored a really huge target in their innings of 238 runs in the loss of 7 wickets, it was really a wonderful game.
I was expecting good game by Sanju Samson as always but another time he disappointed us, played the innings of just 10 runs off 7 balls but from the other side, Abhishek Sharma was not making any thing stress and without looking on the situation or anything just smashing the boundaries, which is an ionic way for playing T20 game especially when you are setting a target with 5 fours and 8 sixes, he scored 84.

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

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.

Afg players are playing with a very better performance and in this game too, their players have struggled a lot and have set such a better target. The performance of WI is not very better, they are being put under pressure, owing to which Afg is taking a lot of advantage of it and is winning. Their players have given a very big target and will defeat them with their better performance. With this win, if Afg loses the next and last game too, their series win will not matter. The better performance of 4 Afg players has given a better target of 189 and this target will not be achieved by the WI players. The WI players are losing wickets one after the other and this weakness will make them lose even more easily. Afg bowlers are also putting pressure so that WI are not given any chance.

[Out of mind]

India is very experienced in T20I and they can bat very well and score runs quickly. Although they lost the ODI series, they will try hard to win the T20I series against New Zealand. In today's match, India has managed to win by a huge margin, defeating the New Zealand team by 48 runs. However, India must improve their game more because if they ignore the performance of the New Zealand team and its much better performance, India may get stuck in the T20I series like the ODI series. Therefore, India will have to win their T20I series with great concentration. Although New Zealand will try hard in the next matches, they will try to get back on track, and I think it will be difficult for India to beat India. The series between New Zealand and India will definitely be competitive, if India performs well in every match like today, they will have a good chance.

In today's match, it seems that Afghanistan has already won because the West Indies have only three wickets and need 51 runs from 15 balls.
We could have hoped that if we had an old West Indies team here where their lower order batsmen would have shown their hard hitting skills and given the West Indies a win. But the West Indies team is very weak at the moment and from this point of view the Afghan bowlers are able to create more extra pressure, due to which I think the West Indies team will not only not be able to meet their target but will lose ten wickets before the end of 20 overs.

Why are you upset on the West Indies loss and their poor performance ? Did you placed a bet on WI ?

By the way, the West Indies has been underperforming for quite some time now and they are no longer consider a strong team. A team that was once considered a good side had lost their repute and these days they even loss to very weak teams.

On the other side, Afghanistan is an emerging team, and we see them getting better day by day. After the Indian team, they would be the 2nd best team in Asia, and I think they are better than the Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh teams. Seeing all these facts, WI losing to Afghanistan is nothing surprising.

[Haunebu]

India whooped the Kiwis like they were nothing at all. Abhishek crossed 5k T20 runs probably creating some sort of record while Rinku was amazing at the end. Arshdeep was really impressive in this match while Phillips is a GOATED fielder for me and can bat like a beast.

Awesome start to the 5 match T20 series and am looking forward to the remaining 4 matches between them.

Yeah, In the T20I game between India and New Zealand, India defeated New Zealand by 48 runs. India opens inning first with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma and among the openers Abhishek give a very positive start by scoring 84 runs and but Samson losses his wicket early on 10 runs and in middle order Rinku Singh played a aggressive inning of 44 runs and also Surya Kumar Yadav played a well inning of 32 runs and at the end of the innings India set a very strong target of 239 runs for India.

New Zealand opens inning with Devon Conway and Tim Robinson but both  the openers don't give a positive start to the team and Robinson scores only 21 runs and also Conway losses his wicket on duck and in middle order Glenn Phillips played a memorable innings of 78 runs and also Mark Chapman played a well knock of 39 runs but at the end New Zealand don't chase the target and scores only 190 runs and India won the game by 48 runs.

India whooped the Kiwis like they were nothing at all. Abhishek crossed 5k T20 runs probably creating some sort of record while Rinku was amazing at the end. Arshdeep was really impressive in this match while Phillips is a GOATED fielder for me and can bat like a beast.

Awesome start to the 5 match T20 series and am looking forward to the remaining 4 matches between them.

Yes, an amazing start just as ODI so I want them to finish the series on a high note too.

And I expect a couple of changes in the next matches or atleast in the third one because team also need to test the bench strength before going into the WC.

And Shreyas in the place of Ishan is a good move?

Awesome start to the 5 match T20 series and am looking forward to the remaining 4 matches between them.

In fact, in today's match, just as Abhishek Sharma played a brilliant innings in the beginning with 84 runs off 35 balls, Rinku Singh gave a great finish towards the end, as a result of which we saw India score 238, which is considered a tough target for any strong team in the T20 format, and today it was exactly the same for the New Zealand team.

Despite trying hard, the New Zealand team could not score more than 190 runs. But is the Indian team going to take revenge for the loss in the ODI series from the New Zealand team in this T20 series?

New Zealand have started the ODI series and then their five-match T20I series by losing the first match. But losing by a huge margin of 48 runs is really sad for themselves. India's aggressive batting and controlled bowling by the bowlers certainly proves that even though India has lost the ODI series at their own venue, they may not lose the T20I series. With the aggressive batting seen from Abhishek Sharma and Rinku, New Zealand will definitely not be able to win the T20I series.

Yeah, the balanced Indian side registered first win with good margin against New Zealand in their first game of series, both the teams done good performance where Indian batting must be the biggest difference especially batting from Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Sing made the big impact, with this level of performance now fans are going to be excited about them in upcoming world cup.

The reply from New Zealand was also good but unfortunately New Zealand not having depth like India which gave them setback, and they also lost wickets regularly which was also not good for their chase still it is a good performance from them in these conditions.

This series is going to be highly thrilling like any match can take good turn. Still, I am going to bet on India on all of rest of the series and I must remain in profit even 1 or 2 matches go against my prediction.

India came out first winner in T20 match by 48 runs and this shows that they are far stronger when it comes to short format despite loss in past series of ODIs. Star of game was Abhishek Sharma who scored 84 runs in very short time and Rinku Singh helped India in getting an huge score of 238 runs. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav used seven bowlers to make sure that New Zealand did not score easily and although Glenn Phillips performed well, he failed to keep up with high target. Team of India is currently playing in very bold way that makes it extremely difficult to bowlers of New Zealand to stop them. With series moving to Raipur to play next game, it looks like New Zealand team will have hard time winning against such an Indian batting team.

If Abhishek Sharma was there in the squad for the ODI series, then India would have won that one as well. At present, he is one of the top performers within the Indian team, and I don't understand why the selectors are not considering him for formats other than T20. They would rather go with Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, who are both inconsistent and currently in poor form. And also, as a captain I would rate Suryakumar Yadav above Shubman Gill. But then, one main reason why Indian won the first T20I match was due to the presence of Jasprit Bumrah. He didn't picked up any wickets, but he kept pressure from one end.

What are you on about?

In what world abhishek get in the ODI team as opener when Rohit is there and jaiswal/ rutu waiting for their chances? He's atm T-20 specialist and doing his job perfectly despite his high risk game. For now, it would be good for India if he stick to this format only.

Seriously Iyer and kl are not consistent in ODI. The former is one of the reliable middle order batter for India, check his 2024 wc numbers and check his last 10 innings before NZ series. For KL, have lot to complain but you don't average 50 by being inconsistent.

[tbterryboy]

With the aggressive batting seen from Abhishek Sharma and Rinku, New Zealand will definitely not be able to win the T20I series.

Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh are truly the new generation heroes for the India cricket, they are doing impressive job and keeping Indian legacy in T20 format which is going to keep things on top level for long time. Abhishek Sharma 84 on 35 balls and Rinku Singh 44 on just 20 ball made things easier for India to have highly competitive score on board.

I don't understand why the selectors are not considering him for formats other than T20.

Probably after the T20 world cup, Abhishek Sharma may get into ODI team as well. There were rumours when India visited Australia about his debut in ODI but that remained as rumour and also Ro-Ko pair did well in Australia which might be the reason, selectors decided not to disturb the line up for time being.

Yes India collected this score quickly and it was great India's T20 format is very good and their batting performance was very good. Although some players did not do well in the match but Abhishek Sharma's brilliant batting performance he scored 84 runs which took the team to a higher level. They defeated New Zealand by a huge margin of 48 runs in the match and they have advanced in the series but they have to prepare better for the next match. Since New Zealand team will come to the field with good preparation for the next match and they will try to defeat India to advance in the series. So the next matches will be more exciting India and New Zealand will try hard to keep their position ahead

Fact that India has scored huge total in such short time tells us that they are one of most scary T20 teams and given that they have long lineup, they have players such as Abhishek Sharma who can come out to their help when they are having bad day. Brave 84 runs of Abhishek were start to game and took away middle order of pressure which led to huge 48 runs win by India. As India took over first six overs with bat and ball, New Zealand is also known to study facts and so will likely change their bowling setups like using many slower balls to stop fast hitters of India in next game. India has won battle of playing New Zealand at their own game swing bowling and fast start, and chance of doing this again will leave Black Caps with very little chance to turn series around.

Afghanistan Vs West Indies

Today the last T20 match between Afghanistan vs West Indies will be held. Afghanistan team has won the first T20I match and the second T20 match. If Afghanistan team can ensure victory today then they will definitely be able to whitewash West Indies team, so Afghanistan team will have to take today's match as challenging to whitewash. In this case how much role do you think West Indies team can play to avoid whitewash, because West Indies team will have to take this match as challenging to get rid of whitewash.
