T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[noormcs5]

West Indies won by 7 wkts over Sri Lanka in their first t20 match. Lankan opening batsman started the match as well. But when Pathum Nissanka got out, then others wickets fell regularly and Kusal Mendis was in trouble to handle the situation alone. bowlers like Jason & Joseph, kept tight control with line and length. That made environment hard for SL to reach higher milestone. On the other side, West Indies played with patience and going ahead with smart shot selection. They kept the required rate under control rather than panic. And the extra advantage was, their home Stadium boost their energy and confident in another level and finally they won by their skills and hard works

The start made by the Sri Lankan openers was pretty good. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis stood for some time on the pitch, but as soon as the game progressed, they also lost their wicket. A short kind of collapse by them. Lasith Croospulle and Pavan Rathnayake lost their wickets early but then Kamindu Mendis scored fifty, which made things possible for the Sri Lankan team like to score at least up to 120 still nothing gets in hand and at the end of the day, they lost the match.

First game of the T20I Series between Sri Lanka and West Indies was very interesting and West Indies can easily won this game. Sri Lanka opens innings first and the openers gives just an ordinary start to the team and in middle order Kamindu Mendis was very impactful and puts a very classical fifty in this game but after that the whole team was collapse and lost the wickets continuously and Sri Lanka set a very low target at the end of the innings.

West Indies batters looks very confident because they knows the home conditions best as compared to Srilankans and both the openers gives a very important and impactful start to the team and especially Shai Hope was best because he played a winning knock today while chasing the target and also remains unbeatable in this game and West Indies easily won this game.

West Indies showed a solid batting performance and secured their win against Sri Lanka in this first t20 match. Sri Lanka started batting first but didn't meet the standard Score. Their batting struggled to gain full momentum because the WI bowlers kept things under control. Jason Holder was the standout performer & Joseph assisted him as well. West Indies looked calm and confident during their batting period. The batters did not rush and built partnerships at the right moments specially Shai Hope. Even though Sri Lanka picked up a few wickets including Brandon King, SL failed to create enough pressure to stop their opponent. West Indies reached the target because of their patient, awareness and discipline. For Sri Lanka, there were many good performances but they needed some more runs to challenge a strongly. Overall, West Indies did their best and they now take an early lead in this series with plenty of confidence, which will reduce  pressure on them and help them to ahead with courage into the next match

Their batting has been their victory but the way they scored 149 runs in 19 overs was tough for them due to which they achieved this target in more balls. For this, West Indies had good and hard bowling which forced them to play poorly and Sri Lankan batsmen could only score 147 runs due to negligence. Sri Lankan batsmen lost 9 wickets for this target. If they had saved some wickets and focused on runs, their target could have been good and its weight could have gone to West Indies but their batsmen created a failure for themselves. West Indies batsmen achieved this target with only 3 wickets. Their aim was to play slowly due to which they be able to achieve this target in so many overs. Sri Lankan batsmen will have to make good decisions in their hard work so that they have strength in their future.

Sri Lanka scored  43 runs from the opening pair. But before they could score 50 runs, they lost three wickets. And that is why Sri lanka fell  behind early. Except for Kamindu mendis' 51 and Kusal Mendis' 36 runs , no other batsman could do much good. Sri lankan bowlers also could  not bowl well on this pitch. They were able to  take only three wickets. If Sri lankan bowlers could  have taken wickets quickly, they would have had a chance to win the match.

Sri Lanka could not play well in the first T20 match although overall Sri Lanka performance is stronger than West Indies. Talking about the first match Sri Lanka showed weakness in both bowling and batting which West Indies took full advantage of and won the match by 7 wickets.West Indies proved that their team can easily cross the target of 150 plus because West Indies have great and brilliant batsmen like Shai Hope who know how to win the match.In this match too they scored 65 runs off 54 balls, which ensured the winning.West strike rate in the first match was very impressive.Let me tell you that it is not right to call Sri Lanka weak and West Indies strong from one match so the second match will prove which team is stronger and more powerful.It is very important for Sri Lanka to win the second match otherwise West Indies will win the series.

[Crypto Library]

WIndies won the first match due to responsibile innings of Shai Hope, who scored 65 runs on just 54 balls. SL team was able to score 149 runs in their 20 overs and WIndies chased that in 20th over with 4 balls to spare. Jason Holder and Shamar Joseph both were able to pick 3 wickets each. Still 2 more games to be played and WIndies now have upper hand in the series. Looking at batting of WIndies in first T20I, SL need to plan some strategy for remaining two games otherwise it won't be possible for them to make a comeback in the series.

Here I will say that the way I was expecting that didn't meet but actually that was happened partially on this match. Even then there was only four ball remaining but still they lose only their three wickets in this match. And this is only commendable for the West Indies team in this match, but I did not see the hitting charge as expected from the west indies team's batters.
But I think these types of performance can Push the West Indies team in risk in the next matches, so for winning in this series I think West Indies team should also look at their batting strike rate also

That was one sided match because one team made a heavy target in this match and opponent team could not chase that target and match was ended with one sided result. Danni Wyatt-Hodge made century in this match and she made this century in just 62 balls . She hit 1 six and 13 fours in this match . Nat Sciver-Brunt performance was also very well in this match because she made a score with strike rate of 209 in this match.  Nat Sciver-Brunt captaincy is great and that is reason they are winning the matches one sided .Sri Lankan W cricket team performance was very bad and they made only 132 score in this match.

The match between Australia woman and South Africa Women, Earlier phase of the match was not good for Australia. Removal of Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll creating highly tensed situation. But then Litchfield came and played steadily. South African Women made the game difficult for them. Their bowlers restricted the opponents on low score of 172 runs. South African Women were highly confident for the chase, Wolvardt played hard for the team's win. But Georgia Wareham took this crucial wicket soon. Georgia was highly charged today she collected three wickets and one catch in an unbelievable way. That's truly team effort that they snatched the victory from the jaws of South African women and celebrated their well deserved triumph today.

India A batted very well, scoring 349 runs, but then Afghanistan batsmen came to chase, eager to perform. The way their openers played- one of whom remains not out was impressive, the opener Imran, who is also the captain of the team. He was also marked as the player of the match for his wonderful gameplay, he also got a single wicket. Yeah, Afghanistan's innings was cut short because most of the actual match time was lost to rain.

Brilliant performance India A team showed in this inning. By playing first they scored 349 runs and lost 9 wickets. In this inning 5 players showed well performance. In starting they built great partnership. After losing 2 wickets they again concentrate on game and showed responsible performance.  On the other hand Afghanistan A team bowled well, some bowlers gave more runs but Abdollah and  Farmanullah bowled outstanding bowling. They collectively dismissed 8 players. And in batting line they built great bounding with partners and built great partnership. They made 172 run in 25.5 over and lost 2 wicket. At this stage opponent team was  down by  4 runs. So due to DLS method they won the match and opponent faced the defeat.

Australian women team are one of best team and its not easy to beat them specially in an event like world cup where they are playing with full strength. Australian women scored 172 runs batting first and in women's cricket its not a small target. It was expected from SA women team to give a good fight but they were all for just 107 runs and that resulted in a big win for Australian team in there opening game. In Group 1, the second team that can create problem for Australian team is India and both teams will face each other on 28 Jun.

My favorite sport to watch and play is cricket. However to be honest I don't really enjoy watching women's cricket matches. I find them quite boring because the standard of men's cricket is much higher. That's one of the main reasons I don't watch women's cricket. To me it just doesnt feel as competitive or intense as men's cricket.

New Zealand W vs West Indies W

The 4th match of the Women's World Cup was between West Indies W and New Zealand W. Actually NZW were the favourites in this match but their performance was very disappointing. Although New Zealand W scored 162 runs which was not a bad target but their bowlers could not do well. In the end West Indies W won by 7 wickets with 1 ball to spare. Shemaine Campbelle performed brilliantly for West Indies Women, she played a brilliant innings of 90 runs off 62 balls. My luck was not good because I had bet on West Indies Women in this match.

Currently enjoying the match between WI vs SL. Today they are playing their second T20 match where WI already won the first one but today suffering in this current match. probably they will lose the match cause Sri Lanka showed much better today with the bat as Kamil Mishara provided a strong contribution and kept the scoreboard moving. WI bowlers kept applying pressure, especially during the middle overs and never allowed Sri Lanka to showed complete dominance. Besides when it comes to Wi Batting, they also fought hard in front of SL bowlers. they still needed bigger contributions from the last order where they already lost most of wickets.  Overall, it was another entertaining match between two teams where WI want to won and SL wanna equalize the series

It was an important game for Sri Lanka and they won it with a big margin of 37 runs to level the series 1-1. Due to half centuries of Kamil Mishara and Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka scored 194 runs batting first. Shamar Joseph once again was able to pick 3 wickets but overall bowling of West Indies was not good in second T20I as they gave away too many runs. After losing two early wickets, Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell try to rebuild the innings with 81 runs partnership but wickets start falling Shimron Hetmyer and whole team got out in 18.1 overs.

In this game they played wisely so they saved themselves from being useless with super performing. It is nice for them to be like this and if they did not think about it then they would not have been able to go on the next journey with the hope that they would have wins. Mishara stood till the end and added 61 runs and added to the aim and at the same time Shanaka also collected 58 runs with super performing and added to the aim. Shepherd, Springer, Forde, Joseph these players gave countless runs without thinking which did not allow their players to try tight and WI they had been wise in the first game but they were useless in this game. Their players did not know how to handle it if they had understood it well and thought about it then this wins would have been theirs too.

Bangladesh Women vs Netherlands Women

The Netherlands Women chose for first innings and are in trouble at 71/4 after 11.4 overs. With 24 runs stand off 29 balls, Babette de Leede is holding the fort while new batter Sanya Khurana has just come in at 0 off 2 balls. Bowlers of Bangladesh have now got upper hand. Marufa Akter has been real star with 2 wickets off the first 1.5 overs for only 15 runs, creating a real problem for the Netherlands middle order. If they are to make good score with batters left, it will take strong finish from those who are to come in. However, Bangladesh Women are in good form and if they continue to take wickets in second half of the innings, then they will be given as favorites to win this.

The Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) will not agree to Cricket Australia's current BBL privatisation model saying they "are not aligned with the current direction of the process" or the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes the payment structure.

ACA chief executive Paul Marsh sent an email to Australian players on Sunday evening, just a day out from CA's meeting with the state chairs on Monday where a vote was due to be held on whether to proceed to the next phase of the BBL privatisation model, where states were set to be able to choose their own path as to whether they pursue private investment or not.

An impressive performance from the Bangladesh women in their first ICC Women T20 World Cup, they bowled well and restricted Netherlands women to 139 in 20 overs. Now in the chase, Bangladeshi women are doing a good job, having 67 runs at the end of 8 overs, but double wickets below give them a shock.
 
Caroline de Lange has 2 wickets in the first over, but still Bangladeshi women are in good control of the game; they needed 69 runs on 67 balls and look like they will have the first win of this event in this match, but still playing with care is going to help them have a big win and good confidence for the next game.
