T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Nanga Parbat]

The last match was going on some time ago which was going to end with a whitewash and a heavy defeat for the West Indies but it was stopped due to bad weather. If the weather is not good, this match will be stopped due to which there is no situation yet. Earlier, 16 innings of 16 overs played but now due to bad weather it has been stopped and West Indies played 6 overs in which their hard work and effort were seen to a great extent. During this time their batsmen have scored 66 runs and if they play the whole match, they can defeat South Africa in this match. South Africa does not need to victory this match, but this win will give them a lot of advantage while West Indies success will not weaken them much. During this time South Africa has also taken 1 wicket and if West Indies had come under their control, these 66 runs would not have been possible which is why their efforts have been in full swing till now.

In the last match of the T20 series between India and New Zealand, India batted first and scored 271 runs. They scored so fast that it was sky-high, the Indian batsmen batted brilliantly, especially Ishan Kishan scored 103 runs in 43 balls with many boundaries and sixes which gave joy to the audience. However, at the moment the New Zealand batsmen are also trying to bat well and they are batting well to meet the target of India even though they lost one wicket. Finn Allen is currently aiming for a century, if they can increase the runs quickly without losing a wicket, then it will be possible to reach the threshold of victory. Although it is very impossible for New Zealand to win this match, but they will try. We can guess that in today's match, India has the possibility of winning by a huge margin if they can bowl well.

As expected Indian dominate things back at home and series got ended with 4-1 lead against black caps, Indian no doubt are truly looking on fire like they way they were smashing such huge number is indicating things horrible for rest of teams whom are willing to visit them for upcoming t20 world cup host at thier backyard. Ishan Kishan scored phenomenal and were looking to replace Sanju Samson for world cup as even through after several opportunity failed to show his charm while sky somehow catch his momentum at right time and were looking forward to utilize his skills for team to bring another shining trophy.

Pakistan team has become very weak due to Babar Azam's dismissal, currently Pakistan team is under heavy wicket pressure. Looking at the style of play of Pakistan team in today's match, it seems that Salman Agha is the only reliable batsman. If Pakistan team keeps losing wickets like this, then Pakistan team will not be able to create an aggressive attitude in today's match like in the first match, then there is a possibility that Pakistan team will lose today's match to Australia team. Adam Zampa is currently ruling Pakistan batsmen.

Yeah, in T20I game between Australia and Pakistan, Pakistan defeated India by 90 runs. Pakistan opens inning first with Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub and among the openers Saim give a positive start to the team but Farhan losses his wicket early on 5 runs and in middle order Salman Ali Agha played a well innings of 76 runs and also Usman Khan played a well inning of 56 runs and at the end of the innings Pakistan set a very strong target of 199 runs for Australia. Australia opens inning with Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head and among the openers Marsh give a positive start to the by scoring 18 runs but Travis Head losses his wicket early on 4 runs and in middle order Cameron Green played a well innings of 35 runs and also Matthew Short scores 27 runs but Australia don't chase the target and scores only 108 runs at the end of the innings and Pakistan won the game by 90 runs.

The Australian team put so much pressure on the Pakistani team's bowling that the Australian team lost all their wickets in a moment. The Australian team was able to survive for only 15 overs, in the world of cricket, the Australian team is a different attacking team who can easily achieve big targets. Only with these two players Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan, the Australian team has become completely helpless, like a puppet in a game, the Australian team has easily collapsed.

I would say here that the New Zealand team are lucky in one our point of view because of they were not  white washed by the Indian team.
Because of the helplessness we saw from the New Zealand team on Indian grounds, there was a possibility that they would be whitewashed. However, although they were able to recover their batting performance in the fourth match, they could not perform that well in any of the others.
Anyway, these series before the T20 World Cup seem to prove that the Indian team is the top contender for the World Cup title this time.

In the fifth T20 match, India achieved this again. Out of the first four T20 matches between them, New Zealand won one match and India won the rest. The performance of both the teams in this match was such that the Indian team batted first and set a brilliant target, which was quite difficult to achieve in 20 over.Together these players scored 271 run. The highest scorer in this match was Ishan Kishan. Suryakumar Yadav performance was also not less. Apart from them, the New Zealand team also tried hard in this match, which allowed them to score 225 run. After that,all their player were out in about 19 and three balls. The highest scorer was Finn Allen, who is a player of the New Zealand team. But despite this the Indian team won a brilliant victory in this match and this five match series is like this. The New Zealand team won one match and the remaining four matche were won by India.

I would say here that the New Zealand team are lucky in one our point of view because of they were not  white washed by the Indian team.
Because of the helplessness we saw from the New Zealand team on Indian grounds, there was a possibility that they would be whitewashed. However, although they were able to recover their batting performance in the fourth match, they could not perform that well in any of the others.
Anyway, these series before the T20 World Cup seem to prove that the Indian team is the top contender for the World Cup title this time.

Indeed, New Zealand managed to avoid the shame of a whitewash by winning the fourth T20I. India batted so aggressively in the five T20Is that their batting made it seem like an easy T20I, with either winning every match with half an innings remaining or batting in every innings with scores above 250. India scored 271 in the 5th T20I, defeating New Zealand by 46 runs.
However, for now, New Zealand has managed to avoid the shame of being whitewashed. However, New Zealand's performance in T20Is was not bad, but India's attacking cricket performance has been more noticeable due to the familiarity of the venue.

Finally, the rain came in favor of West Indies, due to rain, today's match was limited to 10 overs, where even with the DLS method applied, the South African team lost despite having a wicket and overs in hand. I was actually hoping that the South African team would whitewash the West Indies team in this match, but in the end, that didn't happen.

However, a consolation prize for the South African team in this match is that Aiden Markram broke the record for most matches played as a captain in the T20 format. And at the same time, this achievement ended with a series victory trophy in their hands, which will be even more satisfying for them.

These Indian stadiums are way too small where just flicking a ball goes for six or four. Good for entertainment purpose for sure. Firstly, Samson is a burden and Kishan is way better than him currently. Secondly, it's sad to see Bumrah bowl like shit these days in the T20 format.

Boundary length isn't the only reason, Indian pitches are more flat compared to SENA along with 60m boundaries makes it easier to hit over the rope compared to Aus, but still under the laws of ICC and both teams are playing with the same condition so if India can do then who is playing against can also do it.

Sanju, this is the end and this match XI is probably going to be the playing XI for WC, except Sanju Ishan will open and Tilak will come at 3rd.

Thirdly, NZ have a kickass batting lineup, but their bowlers absolutely suck. They need someone like Boult. India have a good chance at retaining the T20 World Cup while NZ look like they might exit early.

Square boundaries are 60-65m which is a problem, straight boundaries are usually 70-75m which is alright and with in guidelines but the way t-20 cricket evolving with big tree like bats and fitter/strong players, it's becoming too easy for batters on flat decks. Australia is the only country which has bigger boundaries.

[Sithara007]

Rashid leading England's spin attack in wc and doing since ages and their number 1 spin bowler in white ball cricket. He might retire after T-20 wc or 2027 odi, that's up for debate due to his age but right now no one thinking of replacing or dropping him.

Btw he ranks 6th in t-20 bowling ranking ahead of mujeeb and zampa so not ordinary spinner per se.

Even if he is a really good spinner, that doesn't resolve England's troubles. What happens once he retires? As you mentioned, he is very likely to retire by next year (I don't think that he will continue playing well into the late 40s, like Imran Tahir). Rehan Ahmed seems to be the best option to replace Adil Rashid, but he is yet to show any consistency at the top level. Then they have options such as Liam Dawson, but I am not sure how these guys perform in sub-continental conditions. England never had world class spinners. A decade or so ago, they were so dependent on Jack Leach, who is a very average spinner.

[Bd officer]

India's performance in this series was amazing, even though India lost the ODI series but performed brilliantly in the T20I series and won the series 4-1. India's batting line was great in this series, where New Zealand gave a target of 200+, India was able to chase the target in 15-16 overs.
However, yesterday's match felt like it was not a live game, I felt like I was watching the highlights. India scored 271 runs, honestly such a score is not seen in some ODI matches. And in this match Ishan Kishan did a great performance which is very commendable, he scored his first century in T20I. However, the audience enjoyed the match.
Now India's great performance proves that they are very strong at home, so it will be very difficult for other teams to beat India in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Only with these two players Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan, the Australian team has become completely helpless, like a puppet in a game, the Australian team has easily collapsed.

Hahaha yeah Australia Was Fierce, Apart from the jokes Australia's form isnt Top Notch. This may be because their C team is playing or their youth isnt that Able. Whatever the Reason Pakistan's Saim Ayub Is Performing really well on both Ends. He is batting Well and Also Bowling tremendously taking the wicket of Travis Head The most feared Batsman in Back to Back Matches. Its Also good to see Salman Ali Agha, our Captain in Form. We are not used to him Playing Like that, Batting on the Front foot and Attacking overall Aggressive. So i believe that is Also a Positive shift. In The Bowling Unit Shadab has made a great return with Abrar already in his form. There many things going Around Babar and his batting position too but i think it will be resolved before the World Cup.

Yeah, in T20I game between Australia and Pakistan, Pakistan defeated India by 90 runs. Pakistan opens inning first with Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub and among the openers Saim give a positive start to the team but Farhan losses his wicket early on 5 runs and in middle order Salman Ali Agha played a well innings of 76 runs and also Usman Khan played a well inning of 56 runs and at the end of the innings Pakistan set a very strong target of 199 runs for Australia.

Salman Agha with an extra ordinary innings but when he gets out, it was very bad and he was really disappointed that he was playing a scoop or swipe shots to the pacer as he did in his previous balls but slightly edged and keeper did not missed this golden chance to take Salman Agha's important wicket and that time it was 125 for 4.

Nice game and I think also it was good to see for Pakistan too because at least Pakistan can test that how their middle and lower middle order continue to maintain the momentum.

Nice game and I think also it was good to see for Pakistan too because at least Pakistan can test that how their middle and lower middle order continue to maintain the momentum.

This was sad scene in latest match, especially because Salman Ali Agha was playing as though he were hitting better than anybody. It was only his 76 off 40 balls that let Pakistan stay in fight, and it was big let-down to see him getting out on scoop off fast bowling of Lockie Ferguson when he was almost 100. His action, which was to head down and walk off slowly at 125 to 4, showed that he was sure that such mistake had ruined speed in team. But, your idea of look into the strength of team is very right as middle order test gave bosses with exact answers. It was nice to note that Pakistan was not fully broken. Form Salman Agha has in terms of leader is excellent sign because his power to take risky shots even against bowlers of top class is what Pakistan needs. Although he lost his spot in not so easy way, it is better to lose tests in practice series rather than in big World Cup match.

In the last match of the T20 series between India and New Zealand, India batted first and scored 271 runs.

In the T20I game between India and New Zealand, India defeated New Zealand by 46 runs. India opens inning first with Sanjo Samson and Abhishek Sharma and among the openers Abhishek give a very positive start to the team by scoring 30 runs but Samson losses his wicket early on 6 runs and in middle order Ishan Kishan again played a memorable innings of 103 runs and also Suryakumar Yadav played a well inning of 63 runs and at the end of the innings India set a historic target of 272 runs for New Zealand. New Zealand opens inning with Finn Allen and Tim Siefert and among the openers. Finn Allen give a very positive start to the by scoring a aggressive inning of 80 runs but Sifert losses his wicket early on 5 runs and in middle order Ravindra played a well innings of 30 runs target and also Ish Sodhi played a well knock of 33 runs but New Zealand don't chase the target and scores only 225 runs at the end of the innings and India won the game by 46 runs.

Abhishek Sharma in very short duration has proven himself as a valuable T20 player. He knows how to play T20 cricket and whenever he stays on the pitch, he score runs. In yesterday game Abhishek Sharma played just 16 balls but still he managed to score 30 runs with high scoring rate. Ishan Kishan scored a century followed by fast half century of Indian captian Suryakumar Yadav. India already has won the series but they played last T20I with full passion and gave a target of 272 runs. NZ gave a good fight in reply but target of 272 is not easy to chase. Ishan Kishan was given man of the match award for his magnificent century.   

[As-Soon-As]

The third T20 match will be played between Pakistan team and Australia team today, in this game Pakistan team has already won the series, and if they win the third match, they will create a chance to whitewash Australia team. But Pakistan team should perform most importantly in this match today, but Australia team is strong enough, they have performed badly in the past matches but they will compete much better today. And they are ready to perform well in the present by correcting the mistakes of the past.
But do you think Pakistan team can whitewash Australia team?

India finished their series of T20Is against New Zealand with 46 runs win in Thiruvananthapuram, biggest in history of game in series of 4-1. It was India that hadhighest total of 271/5 as Ishan Kishan struck career best of 103 off 43 balls and captain Suryakumar Yadav added 63 runs off 30 balls. Abhishek Sharma was again among quickest with 30 off 16 and had final series of amazing scoring rate of more than 190 and fixed his status of being main early game crusher of India.

New Zealand Finn Allen gave brave fight with 80 balls reply but bowling attack of India led by first five wicket burst (5/51) of Arshdeep Singh was too tough, with Indians beating guests 225. I believe that this performance has left huge selection riddle in hands of T20 world cup that begins next week, with Kishan scoring first ever century and Sharma playing without fear, they are perhaps most deadly opening pair in world as team management is left with difficult decision to make on who to start with in the final XI.

But Pakistan team should perform most importantly in this match today, but Australia team is strong enough, they have performed badly in the past matches but they will compete much better today. And they are ready to perform well in the present by correcting the mistakes of the past.
But do you think Pakistan team can whitewash Australia team?

Yup, if its happen like Pakistan whitewash Australian team in a T20 series ahead of the T20 World Cup, it would mean a lot to the Pakistan team and fans. Although a series win for Pakistan is still a big milestone as no one expected Aussie to lose the series by the way.

In this final game, the Pakistan team choose to bat first. Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub has opened the innings for the Pakistan team. In the last match, Fakhar Zaman was not playing, and in the first game, he didn't open the innings.  Coming down the order, he made 10 runs in that game. I think Pakistan are finding the right combination for the T20 World Cup.

He already served English cricket for more than a decade so retirement is around the corner.

Idk if they have any spin talent, current lot looks like a barsati maidak to me and one season/match wonder. Their problem is they consider spin as inferior art hence there is no effort to create spin ecosystem. All they do is pick some brown kid from expat family and voila.
