T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[laspol65]

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.

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.  

Abhishek Sharma could not perform well, after he was out, the Indian team collapsed. But Ishan Kishan is trying to take Abhishek Sharma's place, today the Indian team is protecting the wickets and will dominate to win today's match with a good performance. If the Indian team can give a target of 200 plus runs to the Zimbabwe team today, then of course the Zimbabwe team will have a chance of getting whitewashed today.
Because the Zimbabwe team has had a bad bowling performance in two consecutive matches, if they cannot improve their bowling performance in the third match, they will not be able to create a chance of winning this match even if they have a good batting performance.

India have set a target of 192 runs in their third T20I against Zimbabwe, although it will be very challenging for Zimbabwe to meet this target today. India have performed well in every match of their T20I series against Zimbabwe and have improved their bowling and batting a lot. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored 81 runs while batting in the opener, but in the two innings, we can see that India is much stronger in comparison. At the moment, Zimbabwe is batting towards the target set by India and they have already lost 4 wickets. If Zimbabwe can play well today and bat well, they will have a chance to win against India, but if wickets fall quickly, they will lose the series badly.

Zimbabwe team got whitewashed by India team in this T20 series. India team undoubtedly performed well because some new players have been added to the Indian team squad who have performed well, working hard for the team and have earned consecutive victories. Zimbabwe team, despite their aggressive performance, did not win in this last match to save their reputation.
Brian Bennett and Sikandar Raja performed very badly in this match, today's match was the most important for Zimbabwe team because Zimbabwe team got whitewashed by losing this match. So if these two players had performed well in this match, then they could have definitely created a possibility of getting close to victory.

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.

Zimbabwe International cricket team is under pressure because they are thinking they are playing against a big team of the World and IND cricket team was dominant in the last T20 World Cup which made pressure on opponent team and also Zimbabwe is very weak team as como to IND International team And IND team lose back to back 3 series and they have won the series against Zimbabwe which is not big achievement by them. Sikandar Raza is worried because he is the captain of the Zimbabwe team, and Zimbabwe has no skilled bowlers.

Indian batting is top of the world; they have players who have strike rates over 200+, which is not common for other team players. Brian Bennett has class, but when you have a high total on the board, you have to stay calm and play according to the needs of the team. IND team like batting because they have bowlers who can dominate easily, as Zimbabwe have no experienced batter except Sikander Raza.

Back-to-back games, that is some weird fixture but since it's just against Zimbabwe and that's done already in the 2nd game itself. As expected, Viabhav performed well along with the bowling unit.

There are no positives for team India from this seies except Shreyas Iyer managed to find his first series win as captain and he took the most number games to win a game as captain, read from a reddit posts though. Viabhav should have the confidence now to do a similar betting style even against SENA nations?

[vs2014]

India have finished an amazing T20 series where they whitewash Zimbabwe, by winning all the three matches. From the beginning, India proved that why they are considered one of the top team in cricket industry. Their batting and  bowling line, overall game management were at a higher level throughout the series. In the third match, India scored more higher and restricted Zimbabwe to 157/7 runs, which let them gained a 35 runs victory. But i must say, in this last, Zimbabwe applied best ways to comeback or win atleast one match. We can see their improvement but their performance was nowhere near India’s standard and they struggled to equalized the intensity. Well India won and overall Young talent Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s outstanding performances were a major highlight of the series.

Actually, we all had the expectation from the beginning that the Indian team would win against Zimbabwe, but there was some doubt here because the Indian team had lost to the Irish team before the England series. But the Indian team dispelled that doubt from the very first match.

And about the weird fixture, I would say that although this fixture may seem weird at first glance, it was not weird for the Indian team, rather it was a good opportunity to recover and they did not hesitate to claim that opportunity.

Good to see Vaibhav doing his thing against Zimbabwe though that really isn't much of an achievement, but it helps boost morale overall for sure. This series whitewash probably also helped Iyer improve his captaincy skills. Nothing really interesting here.

Feel like the next truly interesting cricket tournament is the WTC final or the ODI WC sometime next year whichever comes first.

After drubbing and getting belted by Ireland and poms, this win is huge confidence booster for this young team and new skipper as well, finally iyer tasted a win.

It's like bhuke nango ka 2 time ka khana milna lol. Idk when will they assemble again so needed to finish this away schedule on a high note.

[Mahdirakib]

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?

No, I didn't place any bet on the 3rd match. I would have probably placed a bet on Zimbabwe if the first two matches were competitive. But India had won the first two matches very easily, they also won the 3rd T20 match without any difficulties. The odds for India was too low, and I wasn't interested to place a bet on the low odds. Anyway, congrats on your 5 consecutive wins.

ODI World Cup point is timely indeed, as it has been proved for October 4 to November 21, 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia for the first time since 2003. So that is still more than a year away, WTC final will almost certainly be first.
But when you see fair view on Vaibhav, it doesn't mean much as Zimbabwe were untrained and lacked their main bowlers. True real test for both him and Iyer's captaincy will be against bowlers that can really put pressure on them, not sides that are still trying to get their act together after hard time.

Well India won and overall Young talent Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s outstanding performances were a major highlight of the series.

Calling all matches in this T20I format tournament fully one sided would not be wrong. More importantly, India completed whitewash against Zimbabwe squad on their home-ground which made outcome of this format even more impressive.

India's victory was expected because there is 11 place gap between two squads in ICC rankings. I was also impressed with India's squad selection because they gave young player a chance. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi batter was outstanding, collecting 50 off 19 deliveries in first match, 20 off 9 deliveries in 2nd one and 81 off 49 deliveries in third match.

I would also like to appreciate Indian bowlers, who consistently prevented Zimbabwe squad from building any strong or match defining partnerships throughout competition.

India's players showed a very good performance in this match and they all set a target of 192 runs together, but Sheikh Sharma got out early in this match, due to which the target could not be improved further, but this target was also enough for them to win. And the team they were playing against was the Zimbabwe team and it was a little weaker than them because the Indian team is a very good and strong team.

The Zimbabwe team tried its best but could only score 157 runs, due to which they had to face failure by 35 runs because the score they scored was not the target of the other team. The Indian team won this third T20 match. The rest of the match was quite an important match for both the teams. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 81 runs and Ryan Burl scored 54 runs. If the overs had not ended, this player was playing well and could have made his team win, but it did not happen.

So if these two players had performed well in this match, then they could have definitely created a possibility of getting close to victory.

Yeah, definitely the Indian team performed outstanding performances in this T20 format.  After facing the defeat from the England team they had got a chance and improved their weaknesses in this tournament. A new young man Vibhav Soryavanshi showed a very outstanding performance. He is a young guy but he has passion and is eager to grow in cricket. So he scored in this match 81 runs in just 49 balls. So they gave a very hard total for chasing of opponent team.
On the other hand Zimbabwe already had pressure because they are facing continuous defeats so they have a lot of pressure and unfortunately they could not tackle the Indian team. So they could score just 157 runs and could not win the match and they faced the whitewash defeat of this tournament.

Zimbabwe team has faced a big defeat in every match due to which Zimbabwe was looking very weak.India won the toss and decided to bat first and set Zimbabwe an impossible target.Vaibhav Suryavanshi supported the team by scoring 81 with 8 fours and 4 sixes.Except for Abhishek Sharma all the batsmen batted brilliantly. The Indian team is performing very well while Ryan Burl is seen fighting for the win alone from Zimbabwe team otherwise no one worked hard to win.Even if Zimbabwe had won this match there would have been no benefit because India had already won the series.Now Zimbabwe and India will face each other in ODI matches.Let see whether Zimbabwe develop itself performance or not.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is not a person who is suitable for ODI cricket because he is aggressive and he has to calm if he want to play in ODI cricket as he has to focus on singles but he always try to hit six which is not possible on any ball and if he will try to hit in good ball then he will be in the pavilion in the very first over because T20 cricket is different and he can play T20 cricket because T20 cricket is most of the Sloggers but ODI cricket need technical players who can play in every kind of situation and they can handle pressure and will not try to hit on good ball and We saw Vaibhav in India A team match when he tried to hit Sri Lanka A team player and he is immature person.  Iyer is good player and he deserve to be càptain of India team because he played in every pressure situation for IND

Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women

Sri Lanka Women got the ball rolling right in the T20I game, chasing 177 with 6 balls to spare.
Imesha Dulani was amazing, not out 101 off 64 balls to lead Sri Lanka home easily from a strong 176/7 Pakistan. It is the biggest total (353) in WT20I history between these two teams.
Pakistan total was looking a bit safeguarded but Dulani just took the game away from them alone. There was big change from the ODI series where Pakistan won all the games, with different format and different result. Sri Lanka lead the T20I series 1-0 with two matches to go.

[vs2014]

After get defeated by SL women In ODI Series, Pakistan Women looked much better form in the 1st T20 match. 176 runs was a competitive total comes from their batting what should have given them a strong chance to win. However SL Women stayed calm during the chase and maintained their betting performance perfectly. As a result, they reached the target before the final over. SL women deserves credit for playing such fearless cricket, especially Imesha Dulani who changed the game in their favour by hir the century. With another exciting match coming tomorrow, Pakistan still has chance to bounce back if they focus on their previous mistakes.

.Brother I want to correct you because only 1 match won by Pakistan W International cricket team from Sri Lanka W team and first match of ODI series won by Pak W and after that 2 matches won by Sri Lanka W team and we expected good performance in the last Matches but Sri Lankan W team won the last series and they are also leading in the T20 series because they have excellent momentum and players of Pak net practice is less as comparison to Sri Lanka W team.
Sri Lanka W team will win this series because their all players are participating in the game and in the last match only one player was on the crease at the last ball which was brilliant sign for all cricket World to show their strength and Pak W team was thinking they will be  winner of this match.

Did you notice one thing? in one day format, Pakistan W squad 's biggest weakness was their bowling strength during second match's inning. They posted highly competitive total scores that looked more than enough to secure comfortable victory but they still were unable to defeat.

We witnessed almost same situation in opening T20 format. After Pakistan women bat finished its inning, it seemed they had set defendable target and were on course for straightforward win. Once Sri-Lanka squad began their chase, there was hardly any stage where their batters looked under real pressure. Pakistan W squad failed to break crucial partnership and allowing Imesha Dulani batswomen to score unbeaten century and this was her first century in T20. I also noticed that Pakistan W squad missed two opportunities to dismiss her and those missed chances only boosted her confidence, enabling her to take complete control of chase.
