T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[BTC FutureKing]

India lost a match again to Ireland? That's sick and it is going to be the talk of social media for the next couple of days, and I am sure people will say making Shreyas the captain is a big mistake.

I didn't see both the games, because it's not that important series and Sony Liv is streaming, not the hoststar.

Will check out the highlights soon and see what really happened, big day for Ireland that is for sure.

Bad day for Indian cricket, the women's team is out of the WC, and the men's team lost the series against Ireland. The biggest question was why Vaibhav was not given a chance to play in the last match. Sanju struggled against Jai Moondra in the last match and again in this match. Due to the pressure, Abhishek Sharma got out and the whole middle order collapsed. I did not expect such an erratic decision by GG. This series loss might dent the future captaincy stint of Shreyas Iyer.

I also thought the same thing what happened to the Indian team They never lose to a weak team.I always praise them because the Indian team is perfect in every way.But after the series with Ireland I was proven wrong and Ireland proved that they are strong and capable of defeating this powerful team.It was a bad day for India Women and India Men.Both of them suffered a humiliating defeat although both are considered the best teams.The main reason for India defeat was the change of batsmen but India Women be out of the World Cup due to their weak bowling.I do not think the captain should be blamed for India defeat because it is not like that.

It was really unbelievable that India lost two T20 matches against a team like Ireland. Ireland won the T20 series against a strong team like India. In today's match, Ireland defeated India by just one run and became the series champion. India tried hard to meet the target given by Ireland, while chasing 155 runs, they lost nine wickets and finally ran out of overs. However, after losing this match against Ireland, India must face a lot of criticism. Although the first T20 match was lost, most people thought that India might be able to defeat Ireland in the next match, but it was not possible. Rather, Ireland's brilliant victory in the two T20 matches made them win the series against the strong India with their performance.

In this T20 series, the Irish team is showing a very good performance, not only Ireland and India have won two T20Is, and the first T20I match was won by the Irish team, and this second match was also won by the Irish team, and this match, which was quite interesting in the end, was such that the target set by the first team was 154 runs, and the Indian team tried its best and managed to score 153. Yes, the Indian team is a good player overall and plays international matches, but this ordinary team that is playing purely for them, but this team also weighed heavily on the Indian team. The first team had a good team and the highest scorer was Harry Tector and he scored 53 runs, but the high score of both the teams was 55 and this was done by Tilak Varma, who is a player of the Indian team. Apart from this, the rest did not perform well, such as Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan.  His team faced failure.

Vaibhav is great and he is one of the kind but it is not fair to drop the openers who just won the WC for you and this isn't that important game either so selectors didn't want to break the rhythm. However, this could be the perfect game or the series to give the Vaibahv a chance and see if he can tackle the tricky condition. But even if he did played a great knock still he wouldn't be the first choice in the upcoming tour that might be the reason.

Today, the second T20 match between India and Ireland will be played, although India has a chance of winning this match. The Indian team did not perform very well in the first match, due to which they lost against Ireland and are ahead in the series results. Therefore, if the Indian team cannot defeat the Irish team in today's match, it will be a big failure for them. And if India can defeat the Irish team in today's match, then the series results will be equal and draw. The bowling performance of the Irish team was very good in the first match, due to which they put pressure on the Indian team very quickly and lost. Accordingly, the Indian team will not want to lose in today's match, but will try to defeat the Irish team and must have improved their game and will try endlessly to win today's match.

The game between India and Ireland was very enjoyable and interesting and Ireland won this game by just one run and also made history by winning this series. Ireland started the innings first and the openers were not in good form but in middle order Harry Tector was very impressive and he puts a remarkable half century and also Ben Calitz showing excellent power hitting and Ireland gives a very reasonable target at the end of the innings. Indian batters looking very confident but what a lethal bowling done by Ireland and they completely destroyed the strong batting order of India and in middle order Tilak Verma stables the innings and in last overs games becoming very interesting but India don't chase the target and lost the game by just one run.

Ire is playing with better performance and strength in this series, they did not even see that there is a better performance and game-changing team like Ind compared to them. After winning these two games, Ind will understand that it was a big mistake to consider them weak and with poor performance because Ireland played with some performance and struggle even though there was no pressure and they will lose to Ind. Congratulations to Ire for this better performance and winning, if they continue to play like this, they can become an even better team than Ind and the biggest surprise is how Ind has made this fate for themselves by playing badly. If India does not better its performance in the next game, then this will be a big defeat for them, which will make them work hard on their own performance. Ireland has made many people happy because they had broken their hopes with this winning.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was the player of the tournament during the IPL. All the Indian players struggled on this pitch against Ireland, India should have given the opportunities to new players. Instead, India played their best playing eleven and got humiliated by Ireland and were whitewashed in the series.

Ireland has given a low target today compared to the first match. So, I was expecting India to win the match very easily. But now it looks like it isn't going to be easy for India to chase the target of 155 runs. They have lost two wickets in the first over. I hope they will manage to make a good partnership from this point. It will be very shameful if they lose the 2nd match as well.

Ireland at its best, they have won back to back two matches against the Indian national team, now they cannot even say that it was B team, it was A team. Yeah some key players were not playing in the series, since they were not the part of the squad but India had Abhishek Sharma, Axar Patel, and almost every one was present in the team. Finally, a team came that beat India.

For me, it was India B team. Agarkar and his bunch of cronies have destroyed the Indian team with their nepotism and bias. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was included in the squad, but he was not given an opportunity to make his debut. On the other hand, Suryansh Shedge and Price Yadav were given the opportunities. I am not saying that the latter players are bad. But you can't just ignore someone like Sooryavanshi, who was the top-scorer in the IPL. And I am at a loss to explain why Sanju Samson is being given a guaranteed place in the XI despite his repeated failures. Samson in men's team and Rodrigues in women's team seems to enjoy preferential treatment.

It is worse than B-team or A-team talk these days, it is sweep the history books. In the second match, India fell just one short of target and the chase broke down upon the getting out of Samson and Abhishek by golden ducks in the first three overs.  That is fair selection point, though. Not playing two straight matches is not good sign when Sooryavanshi says, we are backing players who have done well for us. Samson point is a real difficult one to protect at this stage. In second, he was bowled out with first ball of the chase, thus setting mood for the rest.  But this is the first T20I series loss for India in three years, selection issues aside.

It was an average B team of India. I'm not sure how they selected the players, but there were some good batsmen and bowlers in the squad. But their performance wasn't really good in the series as it was expected. Abhishek Sharma had only played well in the first match. Where the performances of all other batsmen were bad. I was pretty much sure that they would keep Sooryavanshi in the playing XI of the 2nd match. All I can say is that Indian team managers had taken the series very lightly. And the defeat was the result of their ignorance.

What a dramatic condition created in this inning. Ireland team won the match very closely. But opponent team gave tough time to Ireland team. The total run chase was not tough opponent team could chase it but due to lake playing they lost the match very closely. So by playing first Ireland team scored 154 runs and lost 8 wickets. In Ireland team only two players scored well runs, remaining other players showed poor performance. On the other hand Ireland team bowled outstanding bowling against the world's top team. We can't believe that Ireland team beat the Indian team very badly. India team lost back to back wickets and they could not chased this total. But total credit goes to Ireland team bowlers who struggled very hard, especially Moondra and Hollard. They bowled outstanding bowling. So Ireland team showed magnificent performance in both sides and won the match with a great performance.

And the defeat was the result of their ignorance.

I wouldn't call this squad India's B team. They had a lot of talented and experienced players in their squad. All the players except Suryansh Shedge and Prince Yadav are well known. These two players are somewhat new. But they got a chance in the squad because of their talent.

Players like Samson, Ishan Kishan, Iyer, Abhishek Sharma, Dube and Tilak were in the squad. We know that everyone is very good and capable of aggressive batting. But in both the matches their batting was very bad. And they lost because of bad batting.
India could not win the target of only 155 runs in the last match. There is no way to call it a big target. Such a performance from a team like India is really sad.

To say that India back to back losses are just a blip on the radar are words that fail to do justice to the level of smart planning and discipline Ireland displayed on their home ground. But when you have proven international level players and good match winners supporting the playing eleven, it is no longer excuse to call it a second string.
As far as I am concerned, it is come from behind win for historic series that shows that gap between the smaller or lesser ranked countries and the big cricketing powers is closing fast under pressure. Being missing few senior players obviously threw out the balance of the team but host nation beat the visitors in all areas of the game. This is first recent time the Indian top order has come to this situation, and it is reality check in toughest of places against highly motivated underdog side.

I think it is not the Ireland team at its best, it should be like that Indian team didn't play as per expectations. India have played so bad, no doubt Ireland was in a different energy in this series overall and their roles were clear and defined but India is such a big name, back to back 16 series win not a small deal. Maybe they were overconfident or took Ireland lightly, still, after losing the first game, India had to make a comeback but they failed.

IND International cricket team is habitual to play in the IND because they always play on flat pitches when there is no swing and they have control of the pitch because they are running the ICC . IND team won the last World cup and now that team lose the series against small team which has no experience player and they played with courage and IND team could not handle the pressure of the match and they lose their wickets back to Back in this match. Abhishek Sharma was out on duck and Sanju Samson was out on 0 score because these two players played bad shots in this match. Shreyas Iyer is new captain of India and all fans remembered the Sky who was dominant on all teams and he know how to use weapons against any team.

Instead, India played their best playing eleven and got humiliated by Ireland and were whitewashed in the series. 

Humiliated is bit of exaggeration, they slipped up in the tricky condition, is what I would say but nobody would have exp[ected this even Ireland before the start of this series. But this can be a wakeup call for the team India, don't take any teal lightly even if it is associate nation and that is the right way too since there is too much of competition for the playing XI itself so players should keep performing no matter who the opponent is then only they can keep their place in the team.

Maybe they were overconfident or took Ireland lightly, still, after losing the first game, India had to make a comeback but they failed.

I think Ireland had a chance to play well, so they succeeded in it and the Indian team does not need preparation to play well, they can play without preparation, but in this series, the Irish batsmen scored runs with a lot of effort and gave a strong target and in the second match, Ireland also had some failures, due to which they had given an easy target and in this match, the Indian batsmen played unsuccessfully and if they played with effort and hard work, they could have victory. The Indian team should improve itself so that their strength comes back and succeed and by doing so, they have the last match and if they play poorly in this too, it will be a very bad defeat for them. I am also surprised that India does not give any team a chance to win or play well. India is actually a strong team and in this series it has forced everyone to talk about how India played so poorly.

[Emitdama]

Samson in men's team and Rodrigues in women's team seems to enjoy preferential treatment.

I have to agree with you partially, but still I am not agreed about Ajeet Agarkar's workout because he did an impressive job and brought Indian cricket to new highs with his strategy and selections. Here, you need to give him the benefit of the doubt; a few players rested, and a few were already out of the team. This always happens.

Now how things are working in Ireland and England, it's all on team management because they are better to have who is playing and who is having not spot in team batting was not ideal in both games with new youngsters bowlers needs time to give their best hopefully they could be able to give better in England first game is going to be played tomorrow.

After the worst defeat from Ireland, India will now face England in the upcoming T20 series. No doubt that Ireland really showed outstanding skills, and I think for the first time they beat the great Indian team, not just in a single match but in the entire series. That's truly a humiliating moment for the Indian team because they neglected their performance, and now they face the unwanted consequences. Harshit Rana could have finished the match, but instead, he preferred strike rotation, which increased the pressure on the Indian team, and they lost the important game by a very small margin.

India probably lost the match then and there. What was the need for Harshit to give the strike to Arshdeep? He should have stayed there and tried to face as many balls as possible. And Arshdeep managed to score just 4 runs from 5 balls. Given the circumstances, it proved to be a costly mistake in the end. Also, Prince Yadav could have batted higher than Arshdeep. He has a decent domestic T20 batting record. Another player who contributed to India's defeat was Suryansh Shedge. When required run rate was like 12 per over, this guy scored just 1 run from 5 balls.

But even if he did played a great knock still he wouldn't be the first choice in the upcoming tour that might be the reason.

As GG said, the team is important, not the player, so I was channeling my thoughts accordingly. It seems Vaibhav might not debut today in the opening match. GG does not want him now. I am looking forward to seeing who is in the playing 11 for today. I think Sanju, if he is playing, should bat at the position where Ishan bats. Kishan is in great form he can help Abhishek as he is unable to take the pressure. This year has not been good for Abhishek he has been struggling with the bat.
