T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

Ind players had to do it because their performance was the better and most challenging, that's why they will win this World Cup. This target helped them a lot in winning and this performance proved to be a defeat for everyone. Congratulations to Ind on this win and congratulations on winning this World Cup. NZ players have shown a poor performance from now on, while they should have played better, but their players will start losing their wickets in the beginning and Ind bowlers will make this winning successful by putting pressure. Ind players struggled to score runs till the end and that's why their target became so big and NZ players failed and lost in front of this target. Ind players played with better performance in both batting and bowling and that's why they will win.

It was the first ICC tournament for Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson and both of them really played so well, before the world cup, Sanju Samson was not delivering any kind of good knock and valuable performance even he gets multiple chances in the series and other but most of the times he was not able to acquire that opportunity.

When the World Cup started, in the early games he was sitting on the bench, but after Abhishek Sharma's poor performance, he became part of the team, and after playing such great knocks in this World Cup, he finally found his rhythm.

I guess he is talking about the form or playing for the team,

Hmm.

Bumrah is exceptional and the world knows he deserves every kind of trophy there is and I would go further and claim Bumrah is the best bowlers of all time in the limited over formats

Absolutely no doubt about his capabilities but I am not so sure about him being the best of all time. I mean we have Shane warne, Murlidharan, Brett lee, McGrath, Kumble, Kapil dev, Imran khan, Wasim akaram, and many more. Now a days the caching has become so advance but back then with limited resources what they all achieved is truelly remarkable. I guess there is no need to be force a category like 'Best of all time' . Every great player's time is very different and impossible to compare with others.
However when it comes to contemporary fast bowlers, his stats and rankings speaks for itself

Whenever someone says that Bumrah is all time great, old dogs grudugely agree that he's one but large chunk still trying to make argument for Barnes who was one of the kind as well.

Regardless, as everyone started saying it that jassi is national treasure and already GOAT.

Lol, I hope I am not in the category of old dogs haha. BTW, there is no grudge, I have seen everyone playing great cricket.

Regardless, as everyone started saying it that jassi is national treasure and already GOAT.

Surely he is a treasure, no doubt about that just like other sport heroes. All I am saying is you cant compare different era cricketers. I am not a fan of the term 'GOAT' anyway. I hope our team will be more team India than team BCCI

I was referring to old guards in general, mostly members from MCC. They are one of the kind, special kind of racists, you could include their legacy sport media as well.

One could include okayish section of Aussie and windies as well.

...

Margin of close to 100 runs in T20 cricket is like having a margin of 250 runs in ODI cricket. It was one of the most one-sided matches I have ever watched. It could have been better if South Africa had qualified for the finals instead of the Kiwis.

You say this as if SA vs NZ was any better in semis, SA were sent home after getting absolutely thrashed.

...200+ is a huge target and a large mental burden for any team to perform.

200+ and 250+ is different breed altogether.

Now yesterday at same ground, NZ won the toss and they decided to bowl first which to me is not a good decision.

...

This. I also felt NZ should have chosen to bat first. NZ folded under pressure of huge run chase, they might have done better batting first.

Bumrah is special, but not man of the tournament for me.

Breh, his over against ENG literally allowed IND get into finals, and allowed 'em to win tournament. Sure, he did not win player of tournament, but if he did, I'd say — well deserved!

[Compromise me]

In super eight game between India and SA at Ahmedabad, SA won the toss and they decided to bat first and India lost that game. Now yesterday at same ground, NZ won the toss and they decided to bowl first which to me is not a good decision. India has a strong batting lineup and by allowing them to bat first you are giving them a chance to pose big target and Indian batting lineup availed that chance very well. NZ mostly give such performance in the finals and you are right that if its SA then we might be able to see a balanced match.

In last match of India, IND International cricket team played very well in this match and they made strong target in this match and that was a pressure match and New Zealand International cricket team could not chase that target because that target was out of reach . Sanju was on top and he was awarded as player of the match because he performed very well in the last innings of World cup and quarter final game was must win for India and Sanju played very well in this match and made match one sided. In the semi final he also played well and played well for the team to achieve big target in this match. Shivam Dube role was also Crutial role in the final because he made 24 runs in the last over when team needed me momentum in this match.

Well, there are many great players but this comparison, like we say Sachin as God of cricket because we know what he did and I would say put Boom in the same category for bowling, because I doubt there will be anyone like him ever, and should protect him for limited overs though since we have WC the next year as well. But he is forced to do overduty whenever he plays the test that will surely take few years from his career.

Think Sachin is not called god of cricket because he was the best ( i mean we have bradman as well). In his contemporary lara was equally good if not better.

IMO in his long cricketing journey with ups and down the former become " a feeling and a hope" for the billion people, his character was big plus as well hence the tag of god.

Bowlsheviks can argue all day night but cricket is dominated by batriarchy so they will remain second class citizens despite all the bravodo.

I heard TGC (The Grade Cricketer) say once, Sachin has nice stats largely because he played for a long long time rather than he being exceptional, which I agreed with, or rather felt validated (white validation, you know?).

As for Bumrah, similar to saying, 'records are made to be broken' — exceptional players create this base similarly for brilliance which is there to be triumphed upon by somebody else (did I articulate that proper?).

Well, he did that for over 2 decades then only players like Shewag, Yuvi, Laxman and Dravid came into the picture but no one can deny we were in a situation for very long time that if Sachin lost his wicket, then we would not win the match.

The perfect reply would be if anyone can make those records then why are they not playing for such a long?

Bumrah, I am not saying he should be called as God of bowling or something and it's not just because of his stats, there are other bowlers who may have even better stats but as said above, if we need a wicket then Bumrah is go to bowler and 90% of the time he would deliver the wicket as well so yeah he is like he will do that for sure.

Last time in 2025 champions trophy, we saw India and New Zealand were playing the final against each other and that time the results were almost same that India was dominating the game and this time too, India were dominating in the bating and later on when they came to ball, they got early wickets and due to that thing, when New Zealand batsmen were hitting boundaries or scoring some good runs, they were not taking it seriously because they were mentally and physically ready.

The New Zealand team made a small mistake by not choosing to bat first. Usually, the captain chooses to bowl in that situation when he is sure that his team will chase the target easily. However, in the case of India, they should have chosen to bat and made good runs, which would have allowed them to put pressure on the opposition, thereby increasing their chances of winning.

They were going very smoothly, in fact, better than the Indian team, but after the fall of the second wicket, they lost hope, and then their score slowed down, resulting in a loss in the match.

New Zealand captain tried 7 different bowlers to stop India but nothing worked. Glenn Phillips was most economical New Zealand bowler who gave just 5 runs in one over other then that its terrible bowling figure from New Zealand side. Indian batting lineup made the job of their bowlers quite easy by scoring 255 runs. New Zealand batting was under pressure from very first bowl and they were not able to score runs against Indian bowlers. It was a dull final because India faced almost no resistance from New Zealand. 

[Farhan99]

India has set their T20 World Cup target of 255 runs today which is the biggest challenge for New Zealand. Already we can see that the important batsmen of the New Zealand team have been dismissed, especially Finn Allen who played brilliantly in the semi-final match. The New Zealand team has been shattered by the dismissal of Finn Allen because Finn Allen was a trusted batsman in New Zealand and he has been dismissed which has left the team disappointed. Moreover, the important batsmen have already been dismissed and the New Zealand team has lost 3 wickets which does not indicate that they will win the trophy in today's match. The batting and bowling performance of India and the team is very good today they are bowling with confidence and have put the New Zealand team under pressure very soon. The way they have batted, the New Zealand team can be all out very soon and they can lose this final match by a huge margin.

the final of ICC T20 World Cup India set the strong target of 256 runs for New Zealand and its also the positive sighn for there victory to set such a big score in final and its the biggest challenge for New Zealand to chase it because in normal 200 runs is a very difficult to chase and in important game like final target like 256 is really horrible for team New Zealand so there openers comes with huge stress and pressure and the main batter Finn Allen losses his wicket early on which cuts the hopes of New Zealand fans early on because this batters is the hero of semi final and he achieve the mile stone of fastest century of T20 world cup in previous game and alos he has the ability to chase like this huge target easily. And along with there top order except Siefert dismissed early on and this completely converted the game towards Indian side. India showing passion and hard work in all format of game like in batting and bowling and fielding and after putting huge target they don't take the match easy and highly focoused on bowling and get success to lay down the kiwis early on and that's why they very soon all out the kiwis and win the tital.

Breh, his over against ENG literally allowed IND get into finals, and allowed 'em to win tournament. Sure, he did not win player of tournament, but if he did, I'd say — well deserved!

I would definitely say well deserved too if he was adjudged player of the tournament, but Will Jacks was still better considering the fact that he helped his team on multiple occasions with both bat and ball as a superb all rounder basically.

Another player of the tournament suggestion is Bennett from Zimbabwe who was sensational throughout this tourney.

I think Indian team is strong side in this T20 world cup because the only one team who can beat india in knockouts match is Australia but their team in world cup is weak they didn't qualify for the super 8. New Zealand is also good team but they quality for the semifinal with only winning single match against Sri Lanka, but their run rate is batter then Pakistan they why they qualify for the semifinal otherwise Pakistan will qualify. Indian play an aggressive inning in both semifinal and final match of tournaments they are setting 250 plus runs in both matches that key factors in their win. The player of Series is Sanju Samson but Pakistani openers Sahibzada Farhan scoring most 390 plus runs in this tournament but Sanju Samson played extraordinary in last three inning they why they deserve it.

It was a dull final because India faced almost no resistance from New Zealand. 

The New Zealand team players were panicking, it was natural that the Indian team would perform well in this match on their home soil but they could not create any competition. The match was almost one-sided, where the Indian team was not facing any pressure in any way. In this game, every player of the Indian team was ready to perform well, but in no way could the New Zealand team be patient in this game.
The bowling was so hurt that the New Zealand team used many bowlers, and the captain followed many strategies but in no way did it work. The Indian team scored 255 runs. After getting this target of 255 runs, the New Zealand team lost its self, and the opening batsman's leave broke early in the game and the New Zealand team faced pressure, the signs of losing started to increase.

[Farhan99]

Unfortunately, all the final matches I have enjoyed till date have been full of uneven competition. Today's match was also like that, India batted first and set a target of 255 runs, where they defeated New Zealand by a huge margin of 96 runs. Where New Zealand could not compete with India. However, cricket is a game of complete uncertainty and any situation can happen at any time. I congratulate India on winning the title in the final.

Yes, cricket is a game of uncertainty, but in this case, New Zealand is perhaps the most unlucky team because they have played the finals of major global tournaments several times but have not been able to win any of them. They lost to Australia in the 2015 ODI World Cup, then they lost to England again in the same miserable way, and again they lost to India in the T20 World Cup final, that is, how can they not handle the pressure of a final match well and why can't they perform well in the final match. However, there is no doubt about this that India is now the strongest team in the cricket world, especially since Gautam Gambhir took charge of the Indian team, one Indian cricket team after another has been getting success and this success may continue in the future.

In cricket we don't guess early about any moment and don't give accurate prediction about any team before the game and exactly that happens with New Zealand several times in ICC events this team showing very positive performances during  whole tournament but in knock out games luck is not compromise with this team. New Zealand played most finals in ICC tournaments among all the team but not win the any title for several years. They lost from Australia and England recently but they don't learn from there previous mistakes and don't work on how to handle pressure of final matches but out of this sanario if we look on India its become the most strongest team around the world and gain success in every ICC events especially when the Ghutam Gambir appointed as a Head Coach of India and also there thought process is very unique and aggressive and thats why they are the best team in the world.

In super eight game between India and SA at Ahmedabad, SA won the toss and they decided to bat first and India lost that game. Now yesterday at same ground, NZ won the toss and they decided to bowl first which to me is not a good decision. India has a strong batting lineup and by allowing them to bat first you are giving them a chance to pose big target and Indian batting lineup availed that chance very well. NZ mostly give such performance in the finals and you are right that if its SA then we might be able to see a balanced match.

The final played in Ahmedabad saw the Indian team lose the match and the SA team win, which is good for their team. New Zealand decided to bowl at the same ground where their match was played, which I think did not prove to be beneficial for them. The Indian team has good batsmen with the help of whom they can win every match and no matter how many teams come, most of the teams give them the opportunity to bat first so that they can score the first runs and they give the target without fear. India bat first, which proved to be good for them. The New Zealand team often goes to the final due to their good performance. If they play with more effort, they can also win the final.
