T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Edit

Okay, if India wins this one then its shootout between WI and IND

I went for a short vacation, where there is no service available on most networks so didn't even track the scores so if the match is do or die between India and Windies then it's a relief. And finally Indian batting order found their ryhtm, no need to rebuild their innings from 2 or 3 wickets in the powerplay.

256, I guess we can consider it is safe from chasing, or Raza got any silence waiting for the billion eyes.

It was an easy win but not loving indian approach in bowling.

Feels like they are experimenting with dube too much in name of getting ready for some doomsday scenario in bowling but he's not looking good as your 6th bowler who can give you 2 overs.

Middle overs are also not looking good from bowling POV, that's the period varun dominates the most but he's looking bit rusty and india is going with only 4 bowling options along with pandaya+ dube. Could be problem if in knockout one main bowler has an off day.

[Out of mind]

India won this match against Zimbabwe by a huge margin, but Zimbabwe has played badly in both matches due to which they have already been eliminated from the Super 8. Meanwhile, we can see that the South African team has achieved their goal and qualified for the next round, so the next match of the South African team is not very important. Since South Africa is going to face Zimbabwe in the next match, if the West Indies team can win this match, then they will qualify for the next round. The West Indies team will definitely try to defeat the South African team in this match and qualify for the semi-final match. And if the West Indies team loses, then India will have a great chance, and if the West Indies team wins this match, then they will definitely qualify for the semi-final, and the chances of the Indian team will be reduced a lot.

Finally now we saw pretty good knock by the bat of Abhishek Sharma but still he was not totally playing in his strength as he used to do before the start of the World Cup.

Before the start of the tornament, he was on the top in the World Ranking and having a strike rate of I think as i remembered, around 300. However, he is recovering well so hopefully after some more chances we will see him completely in his form and may he perform better continuously.

I won't say Zimbabwe played badly against India. Zimbabwe is not a very strong team. None of us even imagined that they would qualify for the Super Eights. Yet they managed to do it.

India set a target as high as a mountain. Zimbabwe's bowlers did very badly, that's true. Zimbabwe's captain used 7 bowlers. But none of them could do well. Tinotenda Maposa gave 40 runs in 2 overs. Richard Ngarava gave 62 runs in 4 overs.

But I was surprised to see the batting of Zimbabwe's batsmen. I thought India would win by at least 100+. But Zimbabwe managed to score 184 runs. Brian Bennett was unbeaten on 97 runs off 59 balls.

[Mahdirakib]

Next game of Zimbabwe against South Africa, I am just hoping that Zimbabwe will achieve their next milestone by beating South Africa, no matter if this game does not have any impact on their journey in the group stage.

I think Zimbabwe will lose the 3rd match in the same way as they lost the first two matches of Super 8. South Africa will also score above 200 runs against Zimbabwe if they bat first. Now the match between West Indies and India will be quite interesting, where India is completely favourite to win. I'm expecting New Zealand to win in today's match.

New Zealand Vs England
 Today's match between New Zealand and England in the Super Eights is the most important for New Zealand because if New Zealand wins today's match, they will qualify and if they lose, they will have to rely on the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
If England loses today's match, there is no problem because England has already qualified for the semi-finals. But New Zealand is in second position, but if New Zealand wins today's match, then they will definitely eliminate Pakistan and qualify. New Zealand is ahead in terms of net run rate by defeating Sri Lanka by a large margin, due to which if they win today's match, New Zealand will qualify. If they lose, we will have to compare the net run rates based on the matches of Pakistan and Sri Lanka to calculate which team will qualify.

[Nalain420]

India recorded the highest score in the T20 World Cup today and it is in the second position among the highest scores recorded so far with 256/4 in today's match.
The highest score of 260 runs by Sri Lanka against Kenya in 2007 is still in first position in the World Cup and this time two records are in a row, one is India's 256/4 against Zimbabwe and the other is in third position, West Indies' 254/6 against Zimbabwe.
However, India will win today's match on a handout percentage basis, but if India can win today's match by a big margin of 148 runs, then they will move to the second position in the points table and their NRR will be higher than West Indies.

Yeah, In the T20 World Cup India  defeated Zimbabwe. India opens inning first with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma and both the openers give a very  positive start to the team and Sharma played a aggressive knock of  55 runs and also Samson played a well innings of 24 runs and in middle order Hardik Pandya played a well knock of 50 runs and also Tilak Verma played a very aggressive innings of 44 runs and at the end of the innings India set a very strong target of 257 runs.

Zimbabwe opens inning with Brain Benet and Marumani but both the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Benet played a memorable innings of 97 runs and also Marumani scores 20 runs and in middle order all the team was panicked and losing of wickets continue but in this situation only Sikanadar Raza played a well inning of 31 runs and  at the end of the inning Zimbabwe don't chase the target successfully and  scores only 184 runs and India won the game by 72 runs.

This winning was achieved owing to Ind better performance and Zim poor struggle meant that they could not achieve this target and lost the game. Ind performance was better and powerful, owing to which their players did not make any improvement to Zim with their struggle. Ind players scored runs very well and quickly, owing to which their target became so strong and this struggle is quite famous in their history and Ind has been working hard and struggling in every game and is also succeeding. Zim players played very badly in the beginning and remained under pressure and they played better in the end, which was of no use to them in winning, but still they managed to score 184 runs against In strength, but this led to Ind wins.

If they lose, we will have to compare the net run rates based on the matches of Pakistan and Sri Lanka to calculate which team will qualify.

This match is more important for England because they have victory the first match of their group and now it is important for New Zealand to victory more, due to which England will go to the semi finals. Although New Zealand victory this match, there will be one match each between some teams, which will decide the semi finals. New Zealand batsmen have played 4 overs so far, if they play well, it will be beneficial for them, but England bowlers are controlling New Zealand to some extent which makes the target easy for them and they can victory easily. New Zealand was going to get out under pressure in the beginning, but fortunately they did not get out, if they continue to play carelessly like this, they can get a bad defeat. This match is very interesting, so both of them will have to play well and with hard work so that this match ends with a fairly big target.

New Zealand vs England! The Kiwis are off to a great start and I am expecting them to win this one since they are not overdependent on a couple of players unlike England who are totally overdependent on Brook etc. 2 wickets down right after the powerplay ended.

Shouldn't be a problem for the Kiwis since they have plenty of great batters remaining. They will probably end up scoring something close to 180 which should be enough.

Run rate will definitely come to play in case the Kiwis lose today. They are at 90/2 after 10/3 overs. From here, ideally they should get to around 180. If they can get there, then at least we can say that they will definitely avoid a heavy defeat. And that would make it virtually impossible for Pakistan to get ahead of them, even if they win their final match. All that said, it has been a very surprising tournament so far. Despite being hosted in South Asia, the only South Asian team who may qualify for the semi-final stage is India. Sri Lanka is gone, and Pakistan will be out in a few days as well it seems.

A total of 180 would be a good target, but at this stage it doesn't look like the Kiwi batters will get there as wickets keeps falling.

New Zealand's strong net run rate has put Pakistan in a very difficult position. With the Kiwis batting first, even if England win, they would likely chase the target in the 19th or 20th over, which wouldn't hurt New Zealand's NRR much. Either way, it seems almost impossible for Pakistan to move ahead now, and it feels like the better team is set to go through.

LOL.. the Kiwi middle order simply collapsed. From 96/2 after 11 overs, they went to 135/6 in 17 overs. Apart from Glenn Phillips, none of the other middle order batsmen managed to stay at the crease. Adil Rashid and Will Jacks finished their spells with combined figure of 8-0-51-4. Rehan Ahmed also did a decent job in this match, by nabbing the dangerous Rachin Ravindra. Liam Dawson wasn't that bad either. At the moment, it looks very unlikely that New Zealand would get to 160. And this in turn would be a huge relief for Pakistan, and their hopes will be alive at least for the next few hours.

New Zealand International cricket team played very well in the start but they could not make more runs in the middle overs and they could not make good target in this match. Will Jacks did excellent bowling in this match and he took 2 important wickets in this match when it was need of the team and he gave only 23 runs in this match. Adil Rashid also took 2 wickets in this match and Finn Allen gave good start to his team but after that spinners were dominant in this match and they gave less runs in this match. Seifert is also dominant in many matches and he can perform well in the next matches and he performed very well in this match at the start of the match.

In today's match between New Zealand and England, New Zealand started well but the end was not good at all. Where New Zealand batted first and scored about 97 runs in 11 overs, it seemed that New Zealand was heading for a big run but in the end they could only score 159 runs for the loss of seven wickets after the allotted twenty overs. No New Zealand batsman could score a half-century in this match.
However, when England came to bat in the second innings, the New Zealand bowlers held the England batsmen back. As of the last news, England had scored 50 runs for the loss of 2 wickets after 7 overs. They still need to score 110 runs in 13 overs to win.
Harry Brock, the hero of the previous match, is still at the crease. Let's see which team wins in the end, but I think the match will be a great fight.

Today, the English spinners rattled New Zealand batting. They failed to score good runs after having a good start. Now it's all about England. Harry Brook and Jacob Bethel on crease are both in good touch and this match is going to be a good platform for them to have good runs which will help them for having good performance in upcoming semifinal.

Now England need 110 runs in 13 overs. The target looking like not a problem both are set and also having a good performance in the last few games, but if New Zealand bowlers will give a performance like English bowlers, it's going to be an interesting part of this match where England is a hot favourite to win and top their group.

Seifert is also dominant in many matches and he can perform well in the next matches and he performed very well in this match at the start of the match.

New Zealand did not provide a very big target. They set a target of 160 runs. But the bowlers of New Zealand are bowling very controlled. It will be very difficult for England to win the match. England collected only 64 runs in 10 overs. More importantly they lost 4 wickets. Must score 96 off 60 balls to win. It is not an impossible task. But it will be difficult to collect an average of 10 runs per over against the New Zealand bowlers. Also England are under pressure after losing 4 wickets already

[virasog]

This match is more important for England because they have victory the first match of their group and now it is important for New Zealand to victory more, due to which England will go to the semi finals.

This match is very interesting, so both of them will have to play well and with hard work so that this match ends with a fairly big target.

Can we say it is England's comeback in the game?

Now Sam Curran looking for shots while New Zealand also facing struggle in doing fielding, right now Sam Curran started to smash boundaries and his partner Banton trying to have some boundaries this time, yeah it sounds very difficult for them because they are almost wasting the balls and New Zealand field and their mind set is really great that is why let's see what will happen this time, another suspense game in this tournament.

This time England should look to hit, they cannot go with single and doubles anymore, it is do or die for them now. Yeah, they are already in the semi-finals, but that is not the main purpose. It is always better to win every single game you play before moving to the knockout stages.

England needs almost 12 runs an over in the last 4 overs, I don't think that's going to happen. With five wickets in hand, the task is completely impossible for now. The credit goes to New Zealand on defending this moderate total.

[Misbah2002]

Kiwi bowlers are doing a good job. They are not allowing English batsmen to play freely just because of their spirited bowling. This small target is also looking not easy to chase right now. At the end of 18 overs, England at 118 runs for the loss of 6 wickets.

If New Zealand wins, Pakistan is going to be out of this event. Just because of this, many Pakistani fans are also rooting for England to win, but it's a good and balanced game for both teams, which are struggling throughout with their batting.

Will jacks batted brilliantly in the 17th over. England scored 22 runs in this over. England need 21 runs to win in the last two overs. Scoring 21 runs in 12 balls is not a very difficult task. If Will jacks stays at the crease , England will win this match. One over changed the entire scenario of the match. England's top order and middle  order played very badly. Tom Banton managed to score 33 runs. Neither of the two openers got off to a good start. Both teams have  a chance to win. But the match was very exciting.
