T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

The NZ20, proposed new franchise-based T20 tournament in New Zealand, is set to be backed as their preferred domestic T20 competition.

It will replace the Super Smash, which began in the men's format in 2005/06, and women's format in 2007/08, and deviate from the current local association-based competition to a franchise-based format.After SAT20 , ILT20 , CPL & 100 , Looks like we getting IPL investment in New Zeland franchise league too but i'm struggling to see how this work? SAT20 is a huge sucess because of time zones , you can have game on prime time for indian viewers which is not possible for games happening in New Zealand.

Market hai hi nahi kiwiland mein and timezone wala panga bhi hai.. it would've been better if NZC had joint venture with CA for W/BBL + whatever they are planning ( there were some gossip but don't know if it happened or not).

It would have given them alright market and fair amount of exposure to local talent

The South Africans somehow won against the Kiwis even after posting a below par total thanks to which the series decider could be interesting later on. I only recognize just a couple of players from both sides since many new players have been given opportunities to play.

My prediction is that the Kiwis will win and secure this particular series comfortably in the decider.

Kiwis also rested their first choice team so it became fair competition in terms of experience.

The match was totally dominated by by South Africa. Their decison to bat first was indeed a good decision and they gave a tsrget which is considered nice on a pitch like that and in this format. ~

The target was indeed good on such pitch, but there wasn't domination from South Africa in the entire match. New Zealand was looking very favourite to win the match until they lost their 3rd wicket. They couldn't make any good partnership after that and lost the wickets continuously. Anyway, the 5th match is going to be interesting as both teams have won two matches until now.

West Indies Women ve Australia Women

2nd T20I West Indies Women Team vs Australia Women Team, is big point in the series, as both of the teams are at Arnos Vale, St. Vincent. I agree that this is a must win game by West Indies because they are trying to get better after being beaten by 43 runs by other side in first game. But my feeling is saying that West Indies Women Team can't win this match. They have lost this match. They have improved as compared to last match. I hope they will continue to improve their performance and will avoid clean sweep in the last match.

Back to back wins for the team of Australia, the way they are playing is really magical and also they have won the series now but still there is one more game left to whitewash West Indies women there.

However, compared to the previous game, there were some improvements, and you can say progress there. I hope in the next and the final game, at least the West Indies women will hardly focus on their batting because that is a really crucial thing for them at this stage, their bowling is doing all the good work. The targets around 160/170s runs are not too high. Well, this series was won by the Australian women.

the 3rd game between Australia Women and West Indies Women is going to held tomorrow if we see the both teams comparisons then we observe Australia Women is much more stronger team around the world, no doubt West Indies is a strong team and gives the hard time to Australia but Australia is the defending champion but the previous two games was very enjoyable and have a great suspense at the end of the game and for tomorrow if a team after winning the toss choose to bowl first then the night conditions may helpful for the second inning in batting and in current series the performance of West Indies was incredible but the Australian team seems to be more stronger than West Indies and showing their ability in previous two games and there is seventy to Eighty percent chance of Australia Women that they won the third game of the series and become the champions of the series.

I think if South Africa doesn't change their squad for the fourth match, then maybe South Africa can win their fifth match, especially if South Africa's bowling performs as well in the fifth match as it did in the fourth match, then South Africa can definitely win this series.
As New Zealand defeated South Africa by big margins in the second and third matches, we considered New Zealand as the favourites in the fourth match, but New Zealand did not perform as well as they did in the previous two matches, both batting and bowling. Could this be the reason why this series is lost on New Zealand's home ground?

New Zealand strong comeback after losing the first match but after that they lost the fourth match and South Africa level the series. Now Series decider match is very important for both New Zealand and South Africa, winner of fifth match is champion of series. My favourites is New Zealand to win this match of they win toss they should bat first in fifth match and scores a match winning runs on board for South Africa. I think win probility is also favor to New Zealand their chances of winning the series is 60% while South Africa have only 40% chances to win match and series with 3-2. If South Africa really wants to win this T20 series then they needs to add a proper batter in playing XI instead of All rounder.

[Compromise me]

The match was totally dominated by by South Africa. Their decison to bat first was indeed a good decision and they gave a tsrget which is considered nice on a pitch like that and in this format. Connor Esterhuizen got on the front foot for the Team and striked harder. He batted nicely and got hi fifty which helped his team big time. New zealand didnt bat as well and thats the reason they couldnt finish the game off. However they came close and just lost by 26 runs because it didnt seem they would do that too. Kudos to SA for a great win.

South Africa batted well in this match. This was the highest total of this series. And compared to the previous matches, South Africa's bowlers also bowled well in this match. As a result, they were able to win by a margin of 19 runs and were able to equalize the series 2-2 . Especially Subrayen and Keshav Maharaj bowled very well. In  7 overs, these two bowlers gave away only 35 runs and took  4 wickets. The result of the series depends on the last match. I guess New zealand will be able to win the series.

South Africa team performance was excellent in the last match because they gave their all effort in this match and at the end they won this match. Esterhuizen was a person who played with highest strike rate and he gave good support to his team when it was needed to his team and he played with strike rate of 158 in this match and hit 3 sixes and 7 fours in this match. New Zealand cricket team could not chase the target because their effort was less in this match and players performance was not good in this match and they got no momentum in this match. Robinson tried to play well in this match but after that no body could make partnership in this match and match was ended with win of SA team .

South Africa won the fourth T20I between New Zealand and South Africa by 19 runs today. South Africa's batting and bowling performance was very good today due to which they easily put pressure on New Zealand and got all out. However, the series result is currently 2/2 although there will be good excitement between these two teams for the next match. I think New Zealand and maybe South Africa will improve their batting and bowling enough to win the next match. However, the way South Africa played in today's match, they will try to play more strongly in the next match, although the series is currently tied, so it is still impossible to be sure who will win.

[Doll2233]

The fourth match of the series is going to be held shortly. New Zealand is already leading 2-1 in the series. Although South Africa won the first match, they lost the next two matches.

South Africa captain won the toss and decided to bat. In the previous match too, South Africa batted first and set a target of 137 runs. New Zealand reached the target with the loss of just 2 wickets. So South Africa will have to try to deliver a big target today. A target of 180+ should be attempted.

The match will be held in Wellington. It is not a bowling friendly pitch. Another interesting fact is that the team fielding first on this pitch gets more advantage and wins more matches. So it does not  seem right to win the toss and decide to bat in today's match.

I don't think South Africa decision to bat first is bad decision because South Africa batting wonderfully scoring huge 164 runs on board in bowling friendly pitch. South Africa team always chokes while chasing down target thet why their decision to bat first is right. The man of Match performance by Connor Esterhuizen for scoring a well deserved half century and out after adding important 57 runs to the team total from just 36 balls and reached team total to 160 plus. South Africa also bowls amazingly in this match they bowled out New Zealand team at just 145 runs in 19th over of the match. New Zealand didn't played full overs because of South Africa bowling performance especially Gerald Coetzee picked 3 crucial wickets by just giving 31 runs and assisted South Africa team to win this fourth T20 match and level the series with 2-2.

By playing first South African team scored 164 runs in the loss of 5 wickets. It was not tough total but opponent team could not chase it. In power play they scored 50 runs and lost 1 wicket. They utilized power play effectively. If they played such as they played in power play they could scored 180 plus runs but in middle overs they scored just 73 runs and here they played slow batting. Connor Esterhuizen scored 57 runs in 36 balls. He remained prominent in his team on the basis of their performance. On the other hand NZ team could not chase it. Since it was easiest chase able total but they could not chase it. Just two players played well remaining other players gave back to back wickets. So we can say that South African team bowled well they could batting well but they came back in bowling line and took early on wickets. Gerald Coetzee took 3 wicket in 3.5 over. So NZ team bowled well but they could not batting well and lost the game.

Actually, you are not alone in this. I think there are many people like me who, after watching the South African team batting first and finishing their innings with a score of 164, thought that the New Zealand team would win this match easily.
But later we saw a good resistance by the South African bowlers where the New Zealand batsmen played some dot balls and lost wickets due to which they lost this match despite having an easy target. Now it has become very difficult to say which team will win this series by winning the next match. I am still confused about it but still my personal opinion is that the New Zealand team is still ahead in terms of winning.

South Africa won the fourth T20I between New Zealand and South Africa by 19 runs today. South Africa's batting and bowling performance was very good today due to which they easily put pressure on New Zealand and got all out. However, the series result is currently 2/2 although there will be good excitement between these two teams for the next match.

However, the way South Africa played in today's match, they will try to play more strongly in the next match, although the series is currently tied, so it is still impossible to be sure who will win.

The reason for the New Zealand team loss could also be that this is the fourth match between them in which the New Zealand team won two matches and the South African team won one match. Now this was the fourth match.If the New Zealand team had won this match, they would have won three matches in the four-match series but they were a little careless and that is why they had to face failure in this match, due to which the South African team won two matches and the New Zealand team won the other two matches. Both were tied. In this target of 164 runs, the New Zealand team failed by 19 runs and the South African team won. One reason for New Zealand's loss is that many of their talented players got out early, which caused a huge loss to the entire team and the South African bowlers put a lot of pressure on them.

South Africa are not showing any special effort from either side and despite a strong partnership they are scoring so few runs but it is surprising that they are competing vigorously with a weak aim and the last match of this series is going to be very interesting in which no one knows which team can win because if New Zealand is a strong team then South Africa knows how to change the course of the game.New Zealand is better at batting while South Africa is great at bowling.The competition is going to be tough.In the fourth match South Africa troubled New Zealand with their performance.The most important was Gerald Coetzee bowling he dismissed 3 important New Zealand batsmen due to which their team  become weaker and weaker.

[Unknown Op]

the 3rd game between Australia Women and West Indies Women is going to held tomorrow if we see the both teams comparisons then we observe Australia Women is much more stronger team around the world, no doubt West Indies is a strong team and gives the hard time to Australia but Australia is the defending champion but the previous two games was very enjoyable and have a great suspense at the end of the game and for tomorrow if a team after winning the toss choose to bowl first then the night conditions may helpful for the second inning in batting and in current series the performance of West Indies was incredible but the Australian team seems to be more stronger than West Indies and showing their ability in previous two games and there is seventy to Eighty percent chance of Australia Women that they won the third game of the series and become the champions of the series.

Australia women international  cricket squad has golden opportunity in third match to whitewash West Indies women's International cricket squad in T20 format competition. West Indies performed quite badly in both T20 matches and unable to achieve targets both matches. On both time, Australia set same scores target which means West Indies women batting inning is quite weak. Because of this weakness, they lost this competition. They need to improve their batting performance for next competition. In second match, West Indies women squad was fell short by 17 scores and faced defeat. Ellyse Perry and Phoebe Litchfield was top performer of second match and both built partnership and both batters of Australia squad managed to collect 35 and 42 scores respectively. In bowling, Alana King bowler played key role in getting victory and picked up 2 wickets.

The two teams are still evenly matched, if I look at the competition, then the New Zealand team will be able to expand their original batting. The South African team gave good importance in the fourth match due to which they were able to win that match, as always, the New Zealand team was trying to establish their dominance.
But due to the sudden storm of wickets, they failed to perform well, the South African team did a better bowling performance than batting, that is why they were able to win this match.

Australia W vs West Indies W 3rd T-20I

In today's match, West Indies Women won the toss and decided to bowl, so in this match too, Australia Women got the opportunity to bat first and the one-innings game ended. Compared to the first two matches, the batting line of the Australia Women team has been in this match and the Australian Women batsmen have scored as expected in this match. Australia Women's opening batsman Georgia Voll played a great innings, she was dismissed for 101 runs off 53 balls, she scored her first century in international T20 cricket. In the end, Australia Women scored 211 runs in the allotted overs, which is 10+ runs per over. So I think it will not be possible for West Indies Women to chase such a big target, they will lose this match by a big margin.

I am quite surprised with the fact that fortunes change so frequently in this series. First match was won by South Africa with a big margin. But after that Kiwis steamrolled the Proteas in the next two matches. But just when the Kiwis were about to pull off a series win, South Africa fought back and won the fourth one. Now all eyes will be on the 5th match, that will be the series decider. We can say that Proteas have the momentum and therefore they should have the upper hand. But given how this series turned out so far, saying something like that would be premature.

So I think it will not be possible for West Indies Women to chase such a big target, they will lose this match by a big margin.

This game was not needed but was still played and AUS W took advantage of it with a nice performing. WI W performing was apparently not nice either because of their weakness or because of their luck they were not able to exert their power over AUS W. Georgia Voll did a nice job in such a capable and powerful aim and is a special player of AUS W and is like a powerful wall. This player scored 101 runs Nicola Carey made 24 runs, Sophie Molineux scored 25 runs that is why it was such a nice aim. It is more unfortunate about the performing of WI W players because they were unlucky to have DLS and by then they were only given 10 overs and by then their runs were 61 due to which they were defeated.  The AUS W team have seen bowling with super power, and their one day international series is also about to begin, in which the WI W performing may be seen to be super.

[Mahdirakib]

As New Zealand defeated South Africa by big margins in the second and third matches, we considered New Zealand as the favourites in the fourth match, but New Zealand did not perform as well as they did in the previous two matches, both batting and bowling. Could this be the reason why this series is lost on New Zealand's home ground?

I was expecting South Africa as favourite before the start of the series. I was also thinking that they would win the series very easily. But now I think New Zealand is going to win it. New Zealand bowling wasn't really bad in the 4th match. The result could have been different if their batsmen played with more responsibility instead of losing the wickets quickly.

But given how this series turned out so far, saying something like that would be premature.

Its really very difficult to say who will win final of this series because both teams have shown equal strengths in past four matches. If we look at first three games, they were all one sided game i.e. first was dominated by SA and next two by NZ. Forth match was the only one in which we saw good competition and both teams tried to win the match. The fifth match will decide result of series and both teams will do there best to win that match and thats why we can expect a good final game.

South Africa's performance was very good in this match but if they don't change their squad for the next match then they will definitely be strong. If South Africa's bowling performance is good then they will definitely be able to win the match and win the series by defeating New Zealand in the fifth match. Since the series is tied between the two teams, New Zealand will want to come back strong in the next match and win the series by defeating South Africa. But I think New Zealand will definitely play well in the fifth match and improve their performance a lot from the last match, and if they can't improve their bowling and batting performance then they will have to lose.

So I think it will not be possible for West Indies Women to chase such a big target, they will lose this match by a big margin.

Actually, in this match, the Australian women's team performed as expected against the West Indies women's team. Because even though the Australian women's team won in the last two matches, they could not give a strong performance from their strong position and the opponent could not compete.

But in this match, they showed it by scoring more than 200 runs, although later the West Indies team could only score 61 runs in 10 overs by batting through the DLS method. I don't think that even if there was no real West Indies women team would do anything good performance.
