T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

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.

Initially I thought that the match got washed out. But then realized that if the second innings has passed 10 overs, then the DLS rule will come into play and the winner will be decided based on that. Overall, it has been pretty disappointing for West Indies so far. They have lost three matches in a row, and that too by big margins. We also need to remember that they had the home advantage. One reason maybe the absence of a proper T20 franchise league for women in West Indies. They have the WCPL, but it is a rag-tag tournament with only a few matches per season (unlike the WBBL).

Three different consortiums were in a bidding war to acquire Rajasthan Royals, and the Americans managed to outbid the other two. Somani already had a minority stake in the franchise, and with the latest transaction he has ownership to 100% of the franchise. Back in 2011, the two new IPL franchises (Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans) were sold for $940 million and $575 million respectively. All eyes are now on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). RCB may go for sale by the end of this year, and we can expect a valuation in excess of $2 billion.

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<snip>

Overall, the series was truly amazing for the Australian women; the record is 3-0. Back-to-back three wins and now the next target should be the same but in the one-day format. What do you think Australia can make us proud again based on their performance?

By the way, every game was one-sided for Australia, yeah, in the second match, it felt a bit like West Indies might do something better due to the scenario of that game, but in the last match, they totally collapsed.

[Nanga Parbat]

There is not much interest and effort in today's T20 match and I find this match one-sided because of a team that played very poorly and helped the opposing team in their victory and Ghana who played well and achieved an easy target due to which they are moving towards success. Seychelles batsmen played very badly, their batsmen were careless due to which they could only score 72 runs in 20 overs which is a very easy target. Their batsmen should have played with hard work and strength and made their target above 150. Ghana batsmen made some mistakes in the beginning and lost the first wicket in 3 overs which can be a big loss for them. They should not be careless looking at this easy target but should work hard and achieve victory. If Seychelles bowlers keep their bowling strong and tough, Ghana can be under their control.

[Compromise me]

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.

New Zealand International cricket team performance was very well in this series because they performed well in the last few matches and they won 2 matches out of 4 matches and they will play next game tomorrow. New Zealand team won 3 matches out of 5 matches which they played against each other and their record is great against South Africa in the series. Tom Latham is a good player of ODI series because plays with technique and T20 format is different from ODI format and South Africa International cricket team is playing with new squad . Mitchell Santner is a captain of team and he is top class all rounder because he plays in every game for win and they play final in the World cup.

New Zealand Vs South Africa

The final game of the T20I series between New Zealand and South Africa is going to held tommorw and currently both teams have equal points and the team who win the tomorrow game elected as the champions of the series. But its very difficult to predict the winner of the series because both teams are stronger and in this series players from both side shows the quality cricket but despite this comparison New Zealand team has the edge of home conditions and also there middle order is stronger than Africans because they have Bevon Jacobs like world class batters in middle order and also they have good bowling line up and especially that have Lenox who showing his impact in whole series and if we looks on South Africa they also have a strong combination of players like in batting the most impactful player is George Linde who also have the ability to good bowling and Africans have good batting lineup but they don't have strong bowling combination so this benefits the Kiwis and in tomorrow match my favorite team and the champion if this series may be New Zealand due mentioned above conditions.

First of all, there are no points in this series, it's just that both teams have one two matches each, and this leads to the all important last match that will be played tomorrow at Christchurch. I think the NZ record at Christchurch is reasonably better and they should be in a position to take the series but you never know how the South African team will rise to the occasion. It's a do-or-die match for both teams and neither can afford to lose, especially after each has won 2 matches.

This match will be played between New Zealand and South Africa tomorrow which will be the last and deciding match of the series because the series has been tied 2-2. This match will be played at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch. Some of the New Zealand players play well, including James Neesham, who is an all-rounder, and George Linde, who is an all-rounder from the South African team, and Kyle Jamieson, a fast bowler from New Zealand, and Gerald Coetzee, a fast bowler from the West Indies team. Both teams have played evenly in this series. Now, whoever wins will take this series. This match is very important. Now, this match will decide who will win. There are new players in both the teams. Now, let's see who wins this match. The one who bats well and keeps the score low with his strong bowling will be the winner of this match. This match is going to be a big one.

Yes, yYes, you are right this series decider match is very important for both New Zealand and South Africa. Whoever wins the fifth T20 match will also win series. An interesting fact is that New Zealand has never won a bilateral T20 series against South Africa. There is a good chance for New Zealand that they can prove these facts wrong. Neesham will remain the captain of New Zealand team in this final T20 match but their their performance as a captain is disappointed consided to much runs as a captain in T20 cricket. I think the pitch on which fifth match is being played also favors New Zealand team a lot, my favorite team is New Zealand to win this series let see if they perform well in final match then definitely they will be winner of this bilateral T20 series.

New Zealand Vs South Africa

Yeah, both teams have good pairs of players, and they have strong trust in winning the match for them. However, in my view, a player's last performance does not guarantee their future performance in the match. When South Africa wins the match, their batsmen perform well, and so do the bowlers. They have to win the second match, but the matches are going towards the New Zealand team. In tomorrow's match, my prediction is towards the New Zealand team, which has a strong advantage over the South African team overall. I may not be totally sure, but what I see in them makes me lean towards the New Zealand team.

They should not be careless looking at this easy target but should work hard and achieve victory. If Seychelles bowlers keep their bowling strong and tough, Ghana can be under their control.

There is no doubt that Ghana squad made this match fully one sided by restricting Seychelles squad to low score. Match Ghana against Seychelles, Seychelles squad was started match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 72 scores after playing 20 overs inning. Isaac Aboagye and Lee Nyarko bowlers played crucial role in getting victory and both were picked up 3 and 3 wickets respectively. With 6 wickets and 59 deliveries, Ghana squad successfully emerged victory against Seychelles squad. Bharani Majji and Jayant Guatam both were top performer in batting and both batters were managed to collect 21 and 23 scores respectively.

It's not only you that thought the match will washed out because of the rain But the rain stopped and allowed the game to continue, with the Even DLS method applied and the match reduced to 10 overs. In this regard, I must say that although the rain initially brought positive things for the West Indies women's team today, it did not last as it stopped later.

Anyway, I was expecting such a devastating batting performance from the Australian women's team against the West Indies, which was not seen in the previous two matches but was seen in this match.

Not surprised with the Tanzanian win. They have performed quite consistently over the years, and they do have a couple of really good players (Ally Kimote, Laksh Bakrania and Khalidy Juma). The top two teams are likely to qualify for the regional final and in all probability it will be Tanzania and the hosts Ghana. The other 4 teams are very weak (Swaziland, St Helena, Malawi and Seychelles). Malawi has made some progress over the years, and they have former Zimbabwe international Daniel Jakiel in their squad. Therefore Ghana might face some challenge from them in finishing at top-2.

[Haunebu]

Well, well, well.....RCB just got acquired by a huge group comprising of Birlas, TOI, David Blitzer etc for a crazy 1.78 billion dollar takeover deal which is even more than what RR was acquired for earlier. That is over 16,000 cr INR for them with RR close behind them.

Paul Van Meekeren mentioned that even 0.5% of that amount could help associate countries like theirs in a big way which is just sad to hear. Shows the insane financial disparity between IPL and rest of cricket currently.

New Zealand W vs South Africa W

Today was the 5th match of the T20 series between South Africa Women and New Zealand Women. To be honest I thought the New Zealand women would win before the match started and so it happened. In the end, New Zealand women won the series 4 - 1.

However, Amelia Kerr performed brilliantly in this match, she played a brilliant innings of 105 runs off 55 balls and she also excelled with the ball, she took 2 wickets with 6 runs in 3 overs. Today New Zealand women scored 194 runs while South Africa women were limited to 102 runs and New Zealand women won by a huge margin of 92 runs.
Now let's see which team can win the men's game.

South Africa is finally going to win the T20 series against New Zealand. I thought New Zealand would be able to win the series. The performance of South Africa's batsmen in the first few matches was very poor.

South Africa has batted well in today's match. They have been able to deliver a big target of 188 runs. On the other hand, New Zealand has managed to score 141 runs in 18 overs. It is no longer possible for them to win this match. Connor Esterhuizen played the most important innings in the South African jersey. He has been able to play an aggressive innings of 75 runs from just 33 balls. On the other hand, none of the batsmen in the New Zealand squad are able to bat well. As a result, New Zealand is going to lose the series 3-2

Actually, once again, a surprising thing happened in this series, just when it seemed that the South African team might have lost this series, the South African team won again.

And in the end, the result came out just as people were confused in this last match. Many thought that since the New Zealand team had won the fourth match, the New Zealand team would win the fifth match as well and win the series, but the calculation changed here, the South African team also did well in batting and bowling, so the New Zealand team lost to the South African team by 33 runs in this match.

In fact, today's match seemed to be won by New Zealand at first glance, but in reality, it proved otherwise and South Africa won the series. Although, if South Africa's kannor Esterhuizen had not played an aggressive innings of 75 runs off 33 balls in today's match, it might not have been possible for South Africa to achieve the victory. Although South Africa's top order batsmen batting in the ODI style would have probably not been able to score more than 150 runs, but based on his stormy innings, South Africa scored 187 runs in the allotted 20 overs, which became a tough target for New Zealand and in the end, New Zealand lost by a big margin of 33 runs and lost the innings.
