T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[As-Soon-As]

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.

Jacob Bethell played an outstanding innings and almost took England to victory in a short period of time. The failure of England was the rapid fall of wickets which helped them lose more. India really performed well in this innings and scored a lot of runs, every player of India played their best role to perform well. But England could not defend themselves, only a few batsmen forced England to lose.

Yep, New Zealand has played quite well in this entire World Cup. They have chased the target easily in every match, not only against South Africa. India is very favourite to win the final match. The betting odds is 1.40× for India, where it is 3.00× for New Zealand now.

You need to decide whether the odds are attractive enough to make a bet in favor of New Zealand. Given the form India is in, I would say that 3.00x is not worth the risk. I would rather go with 1.40x for India. In Stake, there is a bet of 1.85x for India making a total of more than 193.5. That also looks attractive IMO, given the explosive form the Indian batsmen are in. In case India wins the toss and bat first, then I would say that 193 plus is more or less a certainty. In Stake there is also bets for Abhishek Sharma. 1.85x for him to make more than 24 runs. It looked attractive for me.

I am looking to bet on New Zealand if I get odds 3 upwards (which would be very generous), but jacksclub don't have match added yet, so I have to wait. So, if NZ wins, I win the bet, and if they lose, India winning is completely fine to me as  well

I did same in champions trophy, although it was outright bet then.

[Haunebu]

Those New Zealand odds of around 3 or more are freaking epic to be honest. Already placed my bet on them since the Kiwis are flying high suddenly and the fact that their women's team won the T20 Cup recently also helps. Phillips will probably be the key player.

It's like watching them continue another match right after their recently concluded T20 series in India recently. Excited!

At Stake, they are also giving 3.00 odds for betting on NZ. It seems that the bookies are too much confident on the Indian win. Usually you will not see such a big difference in odds in the World Cup final match as you will know that both are strong teams playing in the final but here it seems that everyone is so sure about the Indian win.

[Compromise me]

Yesterday's Match was one hell of a match. Both teams played superb ( batting-wise). When India started the batting with such aggressiveness I thought that England can't even come close to their score and they will easily win. But oh man was I wrong. India did win but England gave them a hard Time. Some places you would think India is going to win other you would think England is going to win. The 254 Target was a huge one for a semi final, but England also played great by just losing by 7 runs from 30 runs required in the last over. Kudos to both teams. But the real thriller is yet to come. India vs New Zealand is a Match on everyone's watchlists. I think India is going to Win but still I am going to support and cheer for New Zealand.

Jacob bethel played top class notch in the semi final and semi final was like semi final and India International cricket team made 253 runs and they won by only 7 runs because Bethel made century in this match and played crutial role in this match but Hardik pandya did excellent bowling in the second last over and gave only 9 runs in this over and that was the reason England team lose this match at the end and if Hardik pandya could give 16 runs in this match then England could win this match easily and Bumrah role was also brilliant in the 18th over when he gave only 6 runs in this match. Bethel tried but he could not hit against Bumrah. IND qualified for the final which they will play against New Zealand which is also favorite team to win this World Cup.

The confident performance of the home team provided a comprehension of the significance of team work in ensuring that there are no interruptions in the rhythm of the game in every half. The inability to secure the state of goalkeeping should be noted as the leading cause of loss of the winning momentum in the English squad. Although we had great shows performed by very good people, the pressure experienced throughout the time by the opponent made our defence to be weakened. The high level of synergy between the game rivals ensured that they had a huge advantage in regards to the number of points that they had, which would play a vital role in establishment of their position in the league.

Hardik Pandya very well bowled his last over by giving just 9 runs and due to that England team required 30 runs in last over. Jofra Archer hit three 6s in last over but they were not enough to win the game. England top order once again failed to score runs and Jacob Bethell has to score runs all alone without getting much support from top order. Its now official that final will be played between India and New Zealand, I think India will win the final because New Zealand are also chokers like South Africa.  

[Doll2233]

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.

Mind blowing batting by Indian team. It was incredible inning. In T20 format creating a higher run is challenging but Indian team created a history and they scored a highest total which was 253 runs. Sanjo Samson played magnificent inning as they played in the previous match. So it was very tough for England team but not difficult. As they lost 3 important wickets then pressure built up. But
Jacob Bethell played a very important role if any player played with his a little longer then they was closed to win the match but in last 2 overs Indian bowlers bowled well. Any England team fought well but couldn't win the match.

[ThemePen]

Hardik Pandya very well bowled his last over by giving just 9 runs and due to that England team required 30 runs in last over. Jofra Archer hit three 6s in last over but they were not enough to win the game.

Its now official that final will be played between India and New Zealand, I think India will win the final because New Zealand are also chokers like South Africa.  

India won high scoring semi final by seven runs due to steady bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and calm final overs of Hardik Pandya who made England lose. I do agree that Jacob Bethell did great single turn with his 45-ball hundred but failure of English top players, joined with Jofra Archer hitting six late sixes, was not enough to beat India, who was making highest score in losing in world cup.
India is now in final match which is on March 8 in Ahmedabad, and New Zealand are most steady of strong teams in world and they showed that they are not afraid by breaking apart South Africa in New Zealand semi final. So Final Match will be very exciting.

India really performed well in this innings and scored a lot of runs, every player of India played their best role to perform well. But England could not defend themselves, only a few batsmen forced England to lose.

This batsman scored 105 runs and supported his team in a weak moment and made progress. This batsman scored 346 runs with his good effort and lost the match by a few runs. This was a very important and Victory match for their strength, but due to some carelessness they failed in the match. If they had controlled it and had some balls, England would not have let this victory slip away very easily in the end, but India was also in their competition which did not let itself fail in any way. They also had a strong target which led to a complete defeat for England. India bowling strengthens them for victory and in this match too, they got support from this and succeeded. The way England played hard created full interest, but they could not create this interest completely and in the end they will lose.

It was Jasprit Bumrah who won the match for India, although the MoM award went to Samson. Indians almost lost the match despite defending a gargantuan total of 250 plus. And this tells a lot about their bowling. Bumrah has been the backbone for Indian bowling, with others like Siraj and Prasidh there just to make up the numbers. The less talked about the spinners that better. Washington Sundar and Varun Chakravarthy are not in the same league of Anil Kumble or Harbhajan Singh. Time has come for the Indian selectors to drop the non-preforming players and bring in fresh blood.

It was Jasprit Bumrah who brough that shutdown over at 18, then amazing catch by axar and run out by Hardik when it's needed and this all happened because Sanju scored that runs along with everyone so it's a team effort rather than one but yeah the Man of the match should be given to Boom and even Sanju said that he deserves this more than me in the post match presentation.

And we can't expect every bowler to be Bumrah, he is once in a generational bowler, there is no one like him in the current teams while all others in Indian are great bowlers too.

Bookies are very confident about India's victory because India has played the final matches of the T20 World Cup before and has become the champion, due to which they are experienced. India's performance is much better than New Zealand and their team infrastructure is much stronger, due to which India has a higher chance of winning. However, as we can see from the betting odds, such a difference in the final match does not really look good, since the final match will also be played with excitement by normal teams. The New Zealand team will not let India become the champion of this T20 World Cup so easily, since New Zealand has reached the final match, they will want to create a new history for themselves.

[Haunebu]

Wow! Just found out that India vs England semifinal was the most live streamed concurrent sports event of all time primarily thanks to the Indian diaspora which is seriously something special. I believe 65.2 million viewers watched the event simultaneously.

I seriously doubt the final will eclipse that record. Good to see JioHotstar continue improving after the disaster that it was initially.

[libert19]

...

It was Jasprit Bumrah who won the match for India, although the MoM award went to Samson.

FWIW, Samson did credit Bumrah for winning the game, he said something like, "if it wasn't for Bumrah, he wouldn't be there collecting award for MoM".

The less talked about the spinners that better. Washington Sundar and Varun Chakravarthy are not in the same league of Anil Kumble or Harbhajan Singh.

Woa! You went way too much in the past. I remember watching Harbhajan, Kumble back in the day, but I don't remember much of 'em to compare but yeah Varun was deffo absolute disappointment in last game.

This is the final, and everyone knows India will start as the favorites. It's no surprise that the odds are in India's favor.
It should still be a great match and either team can win. Indian fans will be hoping to see their team lift the trophy, but if I'm not mistaken, much of the rest of the cricketing world will be cheering for New Zealand. It's shaping up to be a tense contest. Hopefully we get a really good game tomorrow. Best of luck to both teams.

South Africa surprised everyone with the way they lost the semi final. They displayed good cricket throughout the tournament but were not able to win the semi final. New Zealand faced little resistance from South Africa in semi final but we saw a nail-biting semi-final between India and England. Now its all down to defending champion India and New Zealand. India want to win world cup while playing the final at home while New Zealand will try there best to win there first ever world cup.

Everyone will agree with this.I myself consider India the winner of the T20 World Cup because their performance surprises everyone especially in important matches. India does not necessarily start the game well but they end it very well and win the lost match.But I will not call the New Zealand team weak either because they have also reached the final by defeating many teams.They also have a lot of experience in achieving success.The partnership of the Indian batsmen is quite strong.They do not get pressured by the tough bowling of their opponent rather they pressurize others with their batting. Let see tomorrow whether New Zealand or India becomes the champion of the T20 World Cup.The one who works harder will deserve the winning.

Sam Curran scored 18 runs in 14 balls in this match, he is the only reason why the England team was under pressure. His impatient batting performance has put the England team under pressure. When the Indian team gave a big target, the England team should have performed aggressively from the beginning, on the one hand the opening batsmen could not perform well, on the other hand, the poor performance of Sam Curran in the last overs meant that the England team was not able to win this match. Therefore, the England team lost this match by a small margin of seven runs, and failed to reach the final match.

Yes Sam Curran did a bit badly which led to England falling behind a bit. Sam Curran should have scored 25+ runs off at least 14 balls but he failed to do so. England did well in the beginning and middle but could not do well towards the end. If we look at the last few overs, England fell behind a lot in the 18th over and 19th over, as England managed to score 6 runs in the 18th over and 9 runs in the 19th over. Actually when India scored 253 runs I thought England would lose by a big margin but England surprised everyone and came close to winning. Now the England batsmen should not be blamed because they tried hard but the target was too high, so I want to blame the England bowlers.

Anyway, this match was very exciting and the audience enjoyed it, I also enjoyed watching this match. India played the final last season too and made it to the final again. I hope India will be the champion.

Tom Banton and Harry Brook, who are the best players of the England team, were a good support and foundation in every match, but in the second semi-final, which was against the Indian team, which was very important and meaningful for moving forward, the performance of these two players was very bad in this match. It can be said that perhaps because of them, the England team faced failure in this match, but if you look at it, the rest of the players also did not leave any shortcomings in achieving the target, but still they did not win this match. While the Indian team set a target of 253 runs in this match, which is quite difficult for a base over, but it was right according to the match and this score gave them victory in this match. Jacob Bethell scored the highest score in this match, which is 105 runs, and the winning team player Sanju Samson scored 89 runs.
