T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Do or die moment in ICC tourney and Aussie back to cunting opponent.

Skipper mitch doesnt look like that he's coming back from injury and head also found his hands. Need some serious jinxing to break this partnership or maybe lankans should try swapping the bails.

61 runs loss against India could be seen as warning to truth of where this old fight has gotten itself. Although two teams ended up meeting after much of stress, play difference was very different when Pakistan was all out at tiny 114 in 18 overs.
Weakness that you saw was clear at the beginning. Bowlers of Pakistan could not find early wickets, and bowlers of India, Jasprit Bumrah with 2/17 and Hardik Pandya with 2/16, broke top batters having made terrible powerplay that brought Pakistan to 13/3.

Ishan Kishan hit his way to best score of 77 off 40 balls and made huge goal of 176 which was not met by middle batters of Pakistan who could not really swap ends against Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy.  Having no other choice but to win final group game, which will be must win game, against Namibia, Pakistan is now under high pressure, and it has to fix their batting to avoid shock early loss in Super 8.

Abhishek Sharma is key Indian Batsmen, once he got out without scoring runs the Indian batting didn't got panic rather Ishan Kishan took over the responsibility and scored 77 runs on just 40 balls. Pakistan premium fast bowler gave 31 runs in his 2 overs and Babar Azam once again failed to perform in big event. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl fist and that is a terrible decision because Pakistan team is never good in chasing runs. Pakistan batsmen didn't even tried to chase the target and were all out in just 18 overs.

When these four batsmen Farhan, Siam Ayub, Salman Agha and Babar Azam got out, the certainty of victory for the Pakistan team decreased. The fall of four wickets in the beginning, which were the wickets of the aggressive batsmen and the backbone of the Pakistan team, after the dismissal of these four batsmen, no one took responsibility patiently, as a result, the Pakistan team was able to perform till 18 overs, collecting only 114 runs.
The Pakistan team lost by a total of 61 runs, here the blame for the failure of the Pakistan team should be placed on the aggressive batsmen in the batting line.

[Out of mind]

Today's match between Sri Lanka and Australia will be very competitive, especially in this match, Australia has a chance to win. At the moment, Australia is batting and they have not lost any wickets so far, but the bowling performance of Sri Lanka is not very good because they could not put pressure on Australia. Australia's batsmen have made a great partnership in the power play, they will definitely play strong at the moment. The way Australia is batting in today's match, it will be possible for them to score 200+ runs, Sri Lanka's bowling performance is not putting pressure on Australia's batsmen at all. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh are already batting with excitement and they have scored half centuries, their batting performance is skyrocketing.

Abhishek Sharma is key Indian Batsmen, once he got out without scoring runs the Indian batting didn't got panic rather Ishan Kishan took over the responsibility and scored 77 runs on just 40 balls. Pakistan premium fast bowler gave 31 runs in his 2 overs and Babar Azam once again failed to perform in big event. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl fist and that is a terrible decision because Pakistan team is never good in chasing runs. Pakistan batsmen didn't even tried to chase the target and were all out in just 18 overs.

India's batting order is very strong. The 7 batsmen in the squad are fully capable of batting at a decent strike rate. They are not dependent on the performance of any particular batsman. So even if a batsman does not play well, India does not face a big problem.
Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya failed to add any runs to the scoreboard. India still managed to set a target of 176 runs. Opener Ishan Kishan played an excellent innings of 77 runs. Shivam Dube and Suryakumar's batting was also quite good.

I also say this that even if India top order batsman gets out the score would have been still so strong.It is a bit difficult to achieve any opponents because apart from their batsman the all rounder also bats very well due to which they do not look weak.Although India team change many batsmen their change has not had any bad effect on them.Rather they  become an even stronger team than before.If 3 batsmen do not score any runs but the rest of the batsmen made up for this loss brilliantly and made winning their destiny.The Indian team deserves praise every time because they never disappoint their fans and fulfill their expectations that is why everyone is happy with their performance.

Few quick wickets bring back Sri Lanka into the game, now they need to be restricted Australia on decent target from start till 11th over run-rate never came down from 11 runs per over, but now things are going to take change, Tim David and Josh Inglis on crease for Australia.

Danush Hemantha is doing good bowling, Sri Lankans have good chance of fightback after early punishment from Mitchel Marsh and Travis Head. I have wagered on Sri Lanka due to home advantage but Australians started very well so I am just waiting with fingers crossed.

I was very surprised to see the statistics of the match between Italy and England today, where a team like Italy, who have no previous World Cup experience, performed very well against a tough team in England. Although Italy was all out for 178 runs in a target of 203 runs, Italy's performance was much better than England's performance. If Italy had not had a few batsmen in the top order not to get out for zero runs and if a few batsmen in the lower order had not got out for zero runs, then perhaps Italy would have had a chance of winning today's match.

[JSRAW]

100 up in just 8 overs and only 80 odd runs in next 12 overs.

Lovely comeback by the lankans, they were in trenches but pulled up nicely and with the dew predicted in the 2nd innings, they have a fighting chance or dare to say some advantage.

SL Vs AUS
181/10 Australia

174/4- 181/10
A team like Australia has lost 5 wickets after scoring 7 runs. This World Cup is not going well for Australia and today's match is very threatening for Australia. Australia is in a very good position in the group stage, that is, it is at the top of the points table, but in this World Cup it is in the third position of the points table and if Australia loses in today's match, then Australia will definitely be eliminated. So today's match is a life and death battle for Australia.

Ishan Kishan hit his way to best score of 77 off 40 balls and made huge goal of 176 which was not met by middle batters of Pakistan who could not really swap ends against Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy.  Having no other choice but to win final group game, which will be must win game, against Namibia, Pakistan is now under high pressure, and it has to fix their batting to avoid shock early loss in Super 8.

Ishan Kishan with an extraordinary knock. A new bowler comes and he welcomes him with a six or at least with a four. The good thing I have noticed is that he did not make anything hard, calmly and smoothly looking for boundaries, and he is too good at hitting the offside balls.

A few of the Pakistan bowlers tried to go full on the wicket and down to the leg side, but still they were struggling to achieve the goal, Saim Ayub did the same and succeeded. Kishan looked to play in the gap, but the ball touched the bails and it was out.

[tbterryboy]

At the end of 10 overs, 110 for 2 with at the end of 20 overs 181 for 10 amazing fight back from Sri Lanka in this game against Australia which is struggling in this World Cup, now facing possible early exit as well, middle order completely failed to do anything good after having impressive start from Michael Marsh and Travis Head.

While in chase Sri Lanka in good control of game at the end of 8 overs they are having 76 runs for loss of 1 wicket. Pathum Nissanka is doing good work against poor Australian bowling which is one of the worst in last few years now Sri Lanka need 97 runs in 11 overs while 9 wickets in hand. It's going to be interesting end of this game and Australian journey in this world cup.

Pakistan could not perform as per the expectations of the supporters in today's match, especially the top order batsmen of Pakistan were a complete failure, especially the top order Shahibzada Farhan gave away wickets at the beginning, in which case Pakistan was upset at the beginning and later if these four batsmen Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Salman Ali agha had performed well, Pakistan would not have been defeated like this. Although their performance was very good in other matches, there was never such a bad expectation against India. They were all out for 114 runs against a target of 175 runs, that is, losing by a big margin of 61 runs put Pakistan in a shameful situation.

The top and middle orders both failed brutally. Sahibzada Farhan, who played a good innings against India, was out for zero, which was shocking for the team. Somehow, the middle order then had the responsibility to take the pressure and score. Since they chose to bowl first, they needed to stay at the wicket and play safely, but wickets fell one after another. Among them, Shaheen was good, as he scored some runs as a bowler. Hhhhh

[Compromise me]

Yesterday 61 runs victory against Pakistan by India has shown that their batting line is extremely thick and does not rely on one or two stars. Although both Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya scored zero each, team managed to score good 175/7 with amazing performance of Ishan Kishan who scored 77 runs with only 40 balls. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube also helped much to the team by making sure that score was flowing despite attempts by Pakistani spinners to slow speed down. This win that saw India officially into Super 8 phase showed that they can deal with tough moments and high pressure situations more as compared to most of teams. Due to its seven good batters all able to score fast, India is very "calm" yet strong force at field that does not panic in case top players fail.

Pak International cricket team is very weak team as comparison to India International cricket team and they tried to apply pressure from the start of the inning. I think Pak decision was wrong in this match to do bowling in this match.  Ishan Kishan made 77 runs and opponent team could not play well in the power play and Bumrah did excellent bowling in this match and he took wicket of Saim ayub by making Yorker in this match and he was match bender because he took important wickets in this match. Pak team have to win next match to qualify for super eight and Pak team will face England. Abhishek Sharma could not do anything in this match and Muhammad Amir said that he is a slogger and he don't know how to stop ball in the wicket.

Sri Lanka won by 8 wkts !! Sri Lanka qualify to Super 8 & Australia will be eliminated if Zimbabwe beat Ireland tomorrow or match gets washed out.
This is Sri Lanka's highest chase at home , Pathum Nissanka's 100 today is the first century in T20 World Cups against Australia; the previous highest being Umar Akmal’s 94 in Mirpur in 2014.

Cricket is really an uncertain game, especially Australia, one team is almost eliminated in T20, especially if Zimbabwe wins the next match, then they will be eliminated and if Zimbabwe loses, then if the points are equal, any team can qualify on the basis of NRR, but Sri Lanka has already qualified, here another team Zimbabwe will qualify 100% percent sure. Because at the moment Zimbabwe is performing very well and there is a high possibility of winning against the relatively weak Ireland.

At the end of 10 overs, 110 for 2 with at the end of 20 overs 181 for 10 amazing fight back from Sri Lanka in this game against Australia which is struggling in this World Cup, now facing possible early exit as well, middle order completely failed to do anything good after having impressive start from Michael Marsh and Travis Head.

While in chase Sri Lanka in good control of game at the end of 8 overs they are having 76 runs for loss of 1 wicket.

It's going to be interesting end of this game and Australian journey in this world cup.

Yeah, in the T20  World Cup Sri Lanka defeated Australia by 8 wickets. Australia opens inning first with Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh and both the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Marsh played a well knock of 54 runs and also Head played a aggressive innings of 56 runs and in middle order Josh Inglis  played a defensive inning of 27 runs and also Maxwell played a well innings of 22 runs and at the end of the innings Australia set a very strong target of 182 runs. Sri Lanka opens inning Pathum Nissanka and Kuala Parera and among the openers Nissanka played a memorable innings of 100 runs but Parera losses his wicket early on 1 run and in middle order Kusal Mendis played a well knock of 51runs and with the help of Pavan's 28 runs Sri Lanka can easily chase the target successfully won the game

Cricket is really an uncertain game, especially Australia, one team is almost eliminated in T20, especially if Zimbabwe wins the next match, then they will be eliminated and if Zimbabwe loses, then if the points are equal, any team can qualify on the basis of NRR, but Sri Lanka has already qualified, here another team Zimbabwe will qualify 100% percent sure. Because at the moment Zimbabwe is performing very well and there is a high possibility of winning against the relatively weak Ireland.

Australia is in very bad form. After losing against Zimbabwe in the previous match, they lost against Sri Lanka today. Two such defeats in a row is difficult for Australia fans to accept.

The way Australia started their innings I thought they would set a target of around 220. Australia collected 97 runs without losing any wicket in the first 8 overs. Apart from the two openers, no one can play well. Australia's collection was only 13 runs in the last 3 overs. Had they given a target of 200+, they might not have faced such a bad defeat.

Zimbabwe just one victory away from qualifying for the super eight round. Zimbabwe next two games are scheduled against Ireland and Sri Lanka. If Zimbabwe can beat Ireland tomorrow then Aussies will be eliminated and Zimbabwe will play super 8 instead.

Aussies today scored almost 100 runs in first 8 overs and in next 12 overs they scored only 77 runs. Australians must have given a target of over 200 runs after getting such a good start. Pathum Nissanka 100 runs inning helped his side in winning the game comfortably. Sri Lankan team is unbeaten so far and they can be the new T20 Champions.

Today's match against Australia was really worth watching for the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team. Pathum Nissanka must be praised for his batting performance, he is a reliable and important batsman of Sri Lanka. Many people have been really disappointed in today's match against the Australian team and his performance. Initially, the team's batting performance was very good, but after the opening two wickets fell, the pace of the Australian team's game changed a lot. Due to which the Australian team could only collect 181 runs, although the Australian team was very confident of winning. However, the Sri Lankan team's batsmen were able to meet the target of the Australian team very easily, they lost only two wickets and won by a huge margin of 8 wickets. The Sri Lankan team won this match and is at the top of their Group B points table and they have qualified, the performance of the Sri Lankan team was really great.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Well played Italy. They are soaring like crazy in the ongoing Winter Olympics as the hosts themselves right behind Norway(Leader) and soared really well in this T20 World Cup too. They might qualify for the Super 8 if they keep playing like this in the next one.

Anyway, it's do or die time for Australia who will probably rise back up too since Sri Lanka loves underperforming against tougher opponents these days. Let's see how it plays out.

Lankans won it very dominating way with 2 overs to spare and 8 wickets in hand. I didn't expect this kind of domination from Lankan and Nisanka is already on the process of becoming one of the greatest in SL history and he is also the one who brought 1st ton of this WC at 200.

Aussies on the other hand making worst history, who is known for dominating when it comes to ICC tournaments is at the risk of exiting in the league stage itself.

Well played SL and hope we can see a great team from SL like in their 2000s squad which can beat any team.

Today's match between Sri Lanka and Australia will be very competitive, especially in this match, Australia has a chance to win. At the moment, Australia is batting and they have not lost any wickets so far, but the bowling performance of Sri Lanka is not very good because they could not put pressure on Australia. Australia's batsmen have made a great partnership in the power play, they will definitely play strong at the moment. The way Australia is batting in today's match, it will be possible for them to score 200+ runs, Sri Lanka's bowling performance is not putting pressure on Australia's batsmen at all. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh are already batting with excitement and they have scored half centuries, their batting performance is skyrocketing.

Australia disappointed performance in this important match of world cup and they are almost out of thw world cuo because if Zimbabwe beat Sri Lanka or Ireland any of one team then Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka will qualify for the Super 8 of world cup. Australia lose back to back after a good start in first half of inning but Sri Lanka outstanding performance today especially in bowling Dushan Hemantha picked three crucial wickets and restricted Australia team under 200 runs. The man of the match is Pathum Nissanka for his amazing batting performance scored a well deserved century and remain unbeaten after scoring 100 runs from 52 balls and asssited Sri Lanka to win this match easily and qualify for the next round of world cup.
