T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Zaka1221]

India won against Zimbabwe after losing 6 consecutive T20 matches. Actually India was favourite in this series, so I was betting on India and I will bet on India in the next two matches as well. India is leading the series 1-0 after winning the 1st match and I think India will win the series 3-0.

Anyway I was not so confident about India's bowlers yesterday because they did not have their main bowlers in the squad. So India's bowlers did better than I expected, Zimbabwe scored only 125 runs which was not a good target, they should score 180+ to compete against India. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored his first half century in international cricket, I hope he scores a century soon.

This is the first T20 match between Zimbabwe and India in which the Zimbabwean team was under a lot of pressure because some of their opening players got out early on which had a bad impact on the team and the team could not set such a specific target and what they did was to score 125 run. The Indian team which is a very good and good team, is not that the Zimbabwean team does not perform well, but in this match, the Indian team kept the pressure on them and when they came to bat, they completed the target they had set in 13 overs and a few balls, which shows the strength and teamwork of the Indian team, for which this target of 125 runs does not seem to make much sense. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 50 runs in the next match and the rest also played well, but three players from his team also got out.

India won against Zimbabwe after losing 6 consecutive T20 matches. Actually India was favourite in this series, so I was betting on India and I will bet on India in the next two matches as well. India is leading the series 1-0 after winning the 1st match and I think India will win the series 3-0.

India was also hot favourite against Ireland, but they had lost both matches unexpectedly. So, I won't be surprised if India loses at least one match in this series. India is playing this series with a young and less experienced bowling squad. But they have a very strong batting line-up. The odds are too low for India to win. I'm thinking to place a small bet on Zimbabwe in the upcoming matches.

I have seen some predictions where India has a 90% chance of winning and Zimbabwe has a 10% chance. So betting on Zimbabwe is more risky and I don't like to take that much risk. Actually any game is unpredictable so it is not always the big team that wins and sometimes the small team surprises everyone, but in most of the matches the big team wins against the small team.

Bangladesh was a weak team that why Zimbabwe won easily against Bangladesh

Are you talking about the T20 series? Bangladesh did not lose the series in all formats, Bangladesh won the T20 series 2-1.

India will play their second T20I match today at Harare. They won the first match by a good margin, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Mayank Yadav performed well in that one. And the same two players would be the centre of attention for the second match as well. This series has only 3 matches in total, and therefore in case India wins today's match then they will win the series as well. Odds are tilted very heavily in India's favor, which is not a surprise. I checked Stake and India is at 1.08. Zimbabwe has been given 7.00. Odds for the first match were more favourable for Zimbabwe, but it changed for second match after their very defeat.

In 1 st game, IND put alot of pressure on ZIM team through their bowling line. Zim team had decent period during powerplay where they made good runs but their continuous loss of wickets had major impact on their target runs. Mayank player showed brilliant spell, taking 2 wickets in 4 overs and Prince also took 2 wickets and helped restrict ZIM's batting lineup. During chasing moment, Vaibhav batsman proved to be very important for IND team and his explosive bat line put tremendous pressure on ZIM team and he made quick half century in 19 balls. His aggressive start increased IND's chances of winning from starting.

ZIM team need to focus heavily on improving their bat line effort if they want to achieve success in this series. In my opinion, even target of 180 runs might not be completely safe against strong Indian side.

In first T20 Match the Indian team looked strong from the start. indian team was disciplined in fielding and bowling kept Zimbabwe under constant pressure, resulting in keep falling wickets regularly throughout the innings. Thest bad outing came from Brian Bennett was dismissed without scoring a single run. Despite the strong Indian effort, some Zimbabwe batters should have shown more resilience to help their team post a competitive total. If Zimbabwe keep losing matches this way, it could hurt their position in the T20 ranking points table, so they need to improve ther poor batting before their next game. Zimbabwe now play their next match today do you think Zim can bounce back, or will India’s bowling attack, led by Mayank Yadav dominate once again?

[JSRAW]

Par score was 190-200 on this deck and india already above par with 5 balls left in the bank.

Don't think Zimbabweans could do much about it, combo of short-long boundaries only make bowlers and skipper confuse, hard to set fielding in this setup.

I stayed away from betting on this series after India lost to Ireland and England. Zimbabwe failed with the bat in the first T20, allowing India to chase the target down easily. Today, Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field. Even though they took early wickets, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma pushed the total over 200 runs, leaving Zimbabwe with a nearly impossible chase. Bookies completely pulled the markets after India crossed 170 runs.

India's big score has put Zimbabwe in danger, in the beginning of this match, Zimbabwe made a wrong decision, they won the toss and decided to bowl because they would perform on target. But their strategy failed, Zimbabwe lost this T20I match for the second time in a row and India ensured that they won the series.
Ishan Kishan and Tilak Verma, these two batsmen of India were confident, although the rest gave good support but these two had the highest run rate and they tried hard for the team.
However, the bowling line of Zimbabwe was not very effective, due to which India got the opportunity to score more runs. Zimbabwe has been performing poorly in both bowling and batting, due to which they have failed in two consecutive matches.

~ In current tour as well, batting is stacked but with 3rd string bowling lineup. Imagine Mayank leading a bowling attack and he doesn't even have 20 competitive matches under his belt, including IPL matches.

The 3rd string bowlers are doing their job perfectly against Zimbabwe. I wasn't expecting them to perform like this in an away series. However, Zimbabwe has lost both matches very badly for the great performance of Indian batsmen. I'm wondering what Indian team selectors are testing by using Mayank Yadav in this series.

I have seen some predictions where India has a 90% chance of winning and Zimbabwe has a 10% chance. So betting on Zimbabwe is more risky and I don't like to take that much risk. ~

I was a bit optimistic about Zimbabwe's win. But now I think that Zimbabwe doesn't even have 0% chance to win the 3rd match after watching the result of the 2nd T20 match. It will be just a waste of money to place a bet on them for the 3rd T20 as well.

[Out of mind]

India's batting performance in the second T20I was very good and their bowling performance was also quite good. After losing several consecutive ODI and T20I series, they have changed their game a lot. They won the first match against Zimbabwe brilliantly and they performed very well in the second match as well due to which they won and became the series champions. India scored 219 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.
Their batsman Ishan Kishan batted brilliantly. He scored 81 runs in 44 balls, Tilak Varma scored 60 runs in 29 balls. Both batting performances were excellent. However, Zimbabwe team could not bat very well when they came out to bat, they lost their important opening wickets and lost by a big margin of 90 runs. India's bowling performance in today's match was very good due to which they easily put pressure on the Zimbabwean batsmen, but looking at India's playing performance, it seems that they have a high chance of winning against Zimbabwe in the next match.

Mayank provides raw pace, he does goes for runs but he's also disciplined and ridiculously accurate with his length when on song. Still remember when he first debuted in the IPL and he was rushing big names with his pace and line.

But atm I think all the selectors betting on if his body can handle the pressure or not because he hardly playe 4-5 matches on trot, his back gives up every single time.

Zimbabwe performed well against Bangladesh in last series but they are no match against strong Indian team. After losing T20 series to Ireland and England, the Indian team is well prepared to take on Zimbabwe. India won both T20I match of this series quite comfortably and it looks like India will win the last match also. Today Indian team gave a target of 220 runs but in reply the whole Zimbabwe team got out in just 17.5 overs after scoring 129 runs. Zimbabwe need to play well in last T20I to avoid a whitewash.

It was honestly tough to call how India would look here, especially coming off that loss to Ireland while Zimbabwe was riding high on a winning streak against Bangladesh. I fully expected Zimbabwe to put up a serious fight at home, but they just didn’t show up. India completely dominated the series so far, and by the way things are going, it is going to be a whitewash.

He was sensational at one point before becoming injury-prone, and he hard played matches even for the IPL team, he is good but he should keep an eye on fitness to play on the bigger level. Looks like everyone who struggled on the overseas condition became a bully when they are on the flat decks, atleast it will help them to get back their confidence but technique is going to be a big hole in this team setup unless they fit in technically sound players before it becomes too late for the next WC journey.

Another convincing performance has come from team India and they won by a huge margin against Zimbabwe! After hitting the 219 score, it shows how dominant they were in this cricket department. Indian batters displayed the perfect talent with the positive result. As well as indian bowlers dominated from the very first over, as a result Zimbabwe couldn't recover after losing early wickets. What I liked most was India got back to discipline and they kept attacking instead of relax, even after set the higher score. Zimbabwe played an excellent series against Bangladesh which shown that they have ability change the game momentum against stronger teams. so this result shouldn't make anyone think they are a weak side. Well Every international match needs focus on target & consistency. India looked well prepared today and if they keep continue playing with this approach, then they could easily whitewash Zimbabwe

After the good performance in the first match, this much performance was expected from the Indian team in this match.
In this match, players who were expected to perform well in previous series, such as the series against Ireland and also against England, but failed to do so, are now showing good outings in this series against Zimbabwe.
For example, if I specifically mention the names of a few batsmen, then Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Shreyas Iyer, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, they have returned to their form. And that's why I think that if anyone bets on India in the third match, they won't have to lose.

[Haunebu]

Predictable series with predictable outcomes basically. Haven't been watching it due to low interest, but it's good to see so many IPL dudes being giving useful opportunities again and again in different formats against different teams recently.

Management is experimenting nicely with many of them. Standout for me is Prince while Abhishek is turning out to be a genuine all rounder. Dube really needs to step up.

Yes you said very right In yesterday match Zimbabwe team win the tose and decided the bowling first after Indian team play very well with beting The wicket keeper betsman of indian team ISHAN KISHAN scores 81 in 44 balls and he called the men of the match after the Indian betsman TILAK VARMA  scores 60 at 29 balls and remain prominant that's why Indian team make 219 scores with the lose of 5 wickets in 20 overs which is a good target in T20. Indian team also play very well in bowling side . Indian bowler ABHISHEK SHARMA took 3 wickets and YASH THAKUR took 2 wickets and PRINCE YADAV also took 2 wickets due to good bowling of Indain team Zimbabwe team all out at 129 scores that's why Indian team win this T20 with 90 scores.

I was a bit optimistic about Zimbabwe's win. But now I think that Zimbabwe doesn't even have 0% chance to win the 3rd match after watching the result of the 2nd T20 match. It will be just a waste of money to place a bet on them for the 3rd T20 as well.

India lost the series against a team like Ireland, so many people were optimistic about the Zimbabwe team. But India proved everyone wrong by performing brilliantly. Have you bet on the 3rd match?

Anyway, both the teams are facing each other in the 3rd T20 match without any break. Already India has confirmed the series. So if India can win this match too, then Zimbabwe will be whitewashed. However, Prabhsimran Singh has not made his debut for the national team till now, he batted brilliantly in a few matches in the last IPL, so I think he should be tested by giving him a chance.
There is no need to make predictions in this match because already we have been able to guess which team will win. I think no one will make a mistake by betting on Zimbabwe in this match because everyone will bet on India.

I have bet on this match so if I can win, then I will have 5 consecutive wins.

Last match will be played today and odds are in favour of India for that game. India completely dominated both games of this series because they don't want to repeat what happens with them in Ireland. Such series are great blessing for team like Zimbabwe because through such series they have the opportunity to play against top teams like India, which will help them in improving there cricket. Zimbabwe still has one last opportunity to prove that are good cricketing side.

In fact, series has already been completed with India winning 2nd T20I by 90 runs in Harare and winning the series 2-0 with one match remaining today. Ishan Kishan 81 runs off 44 was the difference and Tilak Varma also got the first 3-wicket haul in men T20Is by an Indian opener with the ball.

Your comment that this is Zimbabwe chance to show itself is correct, despite it being meaningless match. Raza openly said that his shot selection let the team down after loss, which shows there is some self awareness there that could lead to better response today.
