T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Danica22]

Brook probably dropped the match by missing such an easy catch thanks to which Samson got lucky and is doing his thing once again. Stars have aligned in his favor at the most critical phase of this tournament while the reverse happened to Abhishek.

230 could be the target and the only way I see England chasing it is if their legend(Buttler) suddenly performs well after a long time. India leading comfortably at the moment.

India cannot be stopped before 230. India even  has a big chance of collecting close to 250 . The team has made a great start. England  won the toss and decided to field. But none of the bowlers in the squad is able to do well. Every bowler is giving away a lot of runs. India has collected a huge amount of 144 runs in  12 overs. Samson and dube are now at the crease. Both are batting  aggressively. Sanju samson is batting at a 200 + strike rate. If England's bowlers  fail to take wickets , india will collect 100+ in the next 8 overs.

The game has started and India is batting brilliantly in the first innings. After the fall of the first wicket for 20 runs, the second wicket is moving ahead brilliantly. As of last news, they have scored 112 runs for the loss of one wicket after nine overs. Ishan Kishan is at the crease with 39 runs and Sanju Samson is at 62 runs. I think if India can bat like this for 20 overs today, they will score around 250 runs.
Earlier, New Zealand defeated South Africa in the first Test and qualified for the final. The team that wins today between England and India will qualify for the final. I am giving India the lead in today's match. Let's see what happens in the end.

Jofra Archer did very good bowling initially. He did a couple of overs and had 26 runs this is not good to see but now at that stage of the game, England needs to do something and try to stops the free run scoring by the Indian teams. Ishan Kishan is the better who could stand anywhere at any condition while Sanju Samson has been already settled by hitting boundaries to almost every bowler including spinners and Jofra Archer as well, at this stage of the game what they want from English bowlers is to just want to have as much as dot balls as possible.

The most awaiting game has already started and this game will decide which both teams are much likely to play the final and which team journey going to be ends, both of the teams are strong and enough for each other but let's see who will take this game and set their name in the history. New Zealand has qualified in the final and to be honest I think India is the team who has potential to beat New Zealand in the final just like they did in the champions trophy of 2025, while England might face little bit trouble.

India effort and hard work is clear and strong in front of us at this time, the way their batsmen are scoring runs, England looks very weak in comparison to them. India has maintained its strength and this is a good effort of their batsmen which they do in every match and because of this they victory and in this match too we see India success. England victory is difficult because their bowlers are not being tough and this negligence will make them face a difficult target and they will fail due to not having the full target from their batsmen. India batsmen have scored 145 runs in 13 overs and in the next over, India batsmen will work harder and a strong target of above 200 will be set for England which will become difficult for England's batsmen. If England's bowlers control every Indian batsman here, then we can hope that they can make it to the final.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Sanju's showdown again, coming in the knockout matches is really a good because it was never problem with his talent but always the consistency, but he is breaking that curse by back to back match winning performance.

The target is 254 for England if they want to end up in finals, India will be happy with the way they batted after asking to bat first, everyone chipped in with sixes at the back end. We have enough resources to defend this score for sure.

[fuguebtc]

India has given a huge target of 254 runs. England won the toss and decided to field. But the Indian batsmen destroyed England's bowling order.

Although Abhishek Sharma could not bat well, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan played well. Samson's collection was 89 runs from 42 balls and Kishan collected 39 runs from 18 balls. Apart from this, Dube's innings of 43 runs from 25 balls was also very necessary. Pandya and Tilak Verma also played well. Tilak collected 21 runs from just 7 balls. Pandya's collection was 27 from 12 balls.

Every bowler in the England squad has given 10+ runs in every over. Experienced bowlers like Jofra Archer have given 61 runs in 4 overs. An average of more than 15 per over.
If England wants to win this match, they will have to collect an average of 12.65 runs per over. It is very difficult.

[libert19]

As expected. Aggressive gameplay from the very start, terrific batting display, enjoyed it. Felt the tagline of this wc, 'feel the thrill'.

254 to chase against bowling attack consisting of Bumrah and Varun, nah bro, I don't have hopes for England to chase this.

Also, they should have sent Arshdeep instead of Varun, at least he he can swing the bat, and just might have gotten six, well at least we got 2 for byes (greed doesnt end).

Sanju's showdown again, coming in the knockout matches is really a good because it was never problem with his talent but always the consistency, but he is breaking that curse by back to back match winning performance.

I mean man was given free life. But, yeah, he was in touch, not discounting that.

Edit: Bethell with that reverse sweep (?) for six, wow!

[ibuddy122505]

India posted a huge total of 253/7. The dropped catch by Harry Brook proved very costly, as Sanju Samson scored 89 off 42 against England in the semi-final. Overall, it was a fearless batting display from India, and this helps them set a massive target in this semi-final. The scoreboard also shows how much England's bowling struggled today.
England now need 254 runs from 120 balls to win, which is never an easy chase. On top of that, India have never lost a T20I match when they've scored 225 or more, so the odds are clearly in their favor.

With this performance and target now, India's winning probability is 95%, but England has their highest ever chase here at Wankhede against South Africa (230). This is interesting now how things will work for them against India, which is also the home team and hot favourite to win this title after giving a performance like this. Sanju Samson is doing an impressive job in both innings he was at his best, now he needs consistency, which will keep him in this team as the first choice without any problem. Abhishak Sharma is having his worst ever performance throughout this event.

This could be a challenge for him to bring back his best in the coming time, with the IPL also coming in a few weeks. Varun, Axar, and Tilak are going to be interesting for the English chase and an action-packed second half of this match on progress.

Maybe it is the last match for the team England, yeah so far India is looking more stronger than England due to good partnership in between Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan but I want to specifically talk about the Abhishek Sharma.

I think this World Cup has been proved one of the worst tournament for him, could not even score runs against easy teams yeah he did against Zimbabwe but this innings carries no value, the player who was on the number 1 on the ranking and wonderful strike rate, he is just doing slogging even today only look for the boundaries and do not even know how to stop the ball on the wicket so how could we say him as an proper batsman.

The Indian team surprised everyone in the semi finals because it set the biggest aim of the T20 World Cup which is impossible for England to surpass.Sanju Samson from India has done his duty in every match and has brought the team to a new level as in today match Sanju Samson scored 89 runs in 42 balls with 8 fours and 7 sixes but unfortunately he could not complete his century.India has batted very fast in the semi finals and I think India will reach the final.Yes if England also bats like India they can win the match.England is playing the second innings and needs 191 runs in 87 balls.Let see if England can compete with India toughest bowling.The current India team will not let england win so easily.

The target of 253 runs in today's match is by no means a small target, meaning it is not possible for England to meet this target in today's match. Although the run score is okay, England's four important wickets have already fallen. At this point, it will not be easy for England to score 159 runs in 75 balls. So if I have to say in advance, I would say that New Zealand and India will face each other in the next final match.
Although Jacob Bethell is trying his best, it will be difficult for him to take this match closer to victory because he may be playing aggressively, but if no one can support him from the other side, then the match will be nothing but a defeat.

[tbterryboy]

Hardick Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah gave an early breakthrough to India, while England lost their best-in-form batsmen in the power play itself, which gave them a setback, and now their chances almost ended for clinching this semifinal.

Good start for India with the bat, and now the ball. 254 was looking almost like the end of England's journey in this World Cup, still their youngsters have great potential to perform well in the coming years. Today, the dropped catch gone badly against them, still their bowlers failed to restrict Indian batting, this was a big failure for them in this world cup. England at 119 runs for 4 after 10 overs.

[Farhan99]

New Zealand played great today South Africa is very good in cricket especially in T20 but they did not play well in today's match with New Zealand where South Africa scored 159 runs in full 20 overs while New Zealand scored 173 runs in just 12.5 overs there is a big difference and New Zealand won the match by just one wicket and this is a very good performance for New Zealand I did not expect such a good performance from them. Today's match is the best match I have seen by New Zealand

yesterday in T20 World Cup Semi final what a chase done by New Zealand against South Africa and New Zealand won the game by 9 wickets. South Africa opens inning first with Quinton de Cock and Aiden Markram but both the  openers don't put a great impact in innings and Aiden scores just 18 runs and also De Cock seems to uncomfortable and losing his wicket early on 10 runs and in middle order Bravis  played with patience and control and  played a well innings of 34 runs and also Marco Janson played high risk and  aggressive innings and scores 55 runs and at the end of the innings South Africa set a strong target of 170 runs.  New Zealand opens inning with Finn Allen  and Tim Siefert and both the openers create a history in World cup and completely dominating the African bowlers and Allen played a historic innings of 100 runs and also Sifert played a impactful knock of 58 runs and in middle order with the help of Ravindra's 13 runs New Zealand can easily chase the target and qualify for final.

India cannot be stopped before 230. India even  has a big chance of collecting close to 250 . The team has made a great start. England  won the toss and decided to field. But none of the bowlers in the squad is able to do well. Every bowler is giving away a lot of runs. India has collected a huge amount of 144 runs in  12 overs. Samson and dube are now at the crease. Both are batting  aggressively. Sanju samson is batting at a 200 + strike rate. If England's bowlers  fail to take wickets , india will collect 100+ in the next 8 overs.

Indian International cricket team gave target of 254 runs in a knock out match and their fielding was very bad and there was a drop catch at the start of the match and he played match winning inning in this match and made 89 runs in this match by playing only 41 balls and  gave base of 250 and their team became successful to make 250+ runs in this match and now they are favorite to win this match. Ishan Kishan also played with strike rate of 216 in this match which was brilliant for his team and hit 2 sixes and 4 fours in this match. There was a poor bowling and poor fielding by England International cricket team and they  could not take wickets early in this match. Archer gave 61 runs in this match and did bad bowling because he could stop opponent to hit big sixes but he did bowling in a wicket and Tilak hit him well in second last over .

[libert19]

I had hoped something from Bethell, and he is delievering and keeping English float as well. Bruh, 254 and still it's not walk in park that too with Bumrah being there for heaven's sake, what times have we come to?

Edit: Wah bapu! Boss catch. Moment of the match for me already.

Edit 2: 45 of 18, fatt rahi hai hmari.

Edit 3: Although 30 off 6 now. But, Dube to bowl. Kya Dube le dubenge?

Edit 4: All good but jesus fuck, when chasing 254, and lose my mere 7 runs. It's... Its...(I don't know word to express my feeling?).

Edit 5:

254 to chase against bowling attack consisting of Bumrah and Varun, nah bro, I don't have hopes for England to chase this.

By the way, I'd like to apologize to everybody for mentioning Varun here.

[Bitcoin_Budha]

Any team that concedes a total like this always has a good reply on the cards, as England is doing right now, but still it amazes me because in these spinner-friendly conditions I was not expecting England to play well, but now Jacob Bethel is doing an impressive job with his bat. 6 overs, 82 runs—a big target, but can Jacob Bethel turn the tables its going to be an exciting last half hour of cricket at Wankhede, Mumbai.
 Good cricket from both sides, but Sanju Samson was really at his best. Now he deserves to have a permanent part of the Indian T20 squad without any involvement of social media.
Sam Curran joined Jacob Bethel both are good hard hitters in death overs. Indian spinners need to use their best experience while Varun is conceding enough runs, which are going to be important for them at the end.

Surya Kumar Yadav trying to fit the good fielding. And I think right now the margin is so high so India should not be over confident because at this stage Sam Curran looking for boundaries and most of the time he got it just due to the poor kind of fielding by the team India and this is the same mistake made by New Zealand team in the super 8 games. So India should take lesson from the New Zealand team instead of repeating those same mistakes.

[JSRAW]

Ben choo what a match!

Jaan nikal kar rakh di ish chase ne, treat to watch and could have been perfect chase. Props to England team and Bethell.

I pulled my hair when dube ji picked the ball for the 20rh over.

[Haunebu]

Bumrah(Anomaly) and insane fielding by Axar ended up saving India at the end. I thought the game was done and dusted when 254 was the final target, but the India bowlers excluding Bumrah were embarrassing to say the least. Bethell was spectacular.

Catches win matches and Brook should feel pathetic for dropping Samson early on when the catch was a regulation one. Brain says the Kiwis should comfortably win while heart wants India to win in the final. Excited!

[Bitcoin Smith]

Bethel almost pulled this record breaking chase, thanks to amazing fielding by India that stopped them just below the line. I thought India is winning when Eng lost back to back early wickets but they had other plans and really exciting match to watch, an exciting nail-biter till the end. India is another final what ana amazing team performance this time.

Sunday is going to be an exciting contest, is it Kiwis or India will defend their title....
