T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Bitcoin Smith]

Ha!

Wasn't expecting them to defend at all lol but they did. Skipper shai hope is in some form against us so his wicket was key factor maybe. Hetmyer looked in good shape but we got lucky. Bilaterals are now testing ground but sill, need lot of correction in bowling unit.

Somehow they managed to defend, not possible to chase over 200 all the time, high scoring games always favors the first batting because of the scoreboard pressure. But yeah boling needs more than tinkering, with out Bumrah, it feels helpless though. At least try to fit in Siraj in these kind of bilaterals make sense?

I was surprised to see Tilak sleeping while batting on the ground. I was not expecting him to get out in that fashion. Indian bowling still needs a good pacer to replace Bumrah. I do not see anyone currently catching up with this guy. Yeah, the target was big, and it was not an easy chase for the WI. If Hope had played today, then they might have won the match.

[Haunebu]

India's batting lineup along with captaincy in the T20 format are in a great place, but the bowling lineup leaves a lot to be desired frankly speaking. None of these bowlers are proper replacements for Bumrah, Jaddu, Shami, Hardik etc at the moment at least.

India will most likely win this series as expected, but the Windies really did push them hard as expected too. Also, Kishan keeps impressing me with his crazy consistency in recent times.

Pakistan team has done an extraordinary performance, among them Farhan entered the field as an opening batsman and scored 89 runs, if you had not faced this difficult situation, then it would have been very difficult for Pakistan team to win. But Sadaqat helped Farhan and scored a half century, his extraordinary batting performance helped the team the most to win.
Because if Pakistan team had lost wickets like other wickets were going to lose, then Pakistan team would have been forced to lose, only because of these two legendary batsmen Pakistan team was able to win. But in this international match, these two players played the most role in winning today's match.

Pakistan young team has dominated this series by winning back-to-back t20 matches against Sri lanka, and there is hope that they will win the third match and whitewash Sri Lanka. The first match was still competitive because Sri Lanka reached the 180-plus mark in this match but today's match was completely one-sided; Sri Lanka was never really in the game. Mohammad Imran bowled really well today picking three important wickets and restricting Sri Lanka to just 133 runs. The hero of the second match was Maaz Sadaqat, who played a magnificent innings; although he fell short of a century by just 4 runs, scoring 96 runs, his performance demonstrated the talent present in Pakistan's young squad. Maaz had previously impressed by his batting during the Under-19 match against India, which paved the way for his inclusion in the Pakistan national team.

Today after a long time pakistan batting was amazing didt expect this kind of performance from our openers espiecially from maaz sadaqat. because never seen him showing that kind of performance in international matches.sahibzada farhan did an amazing batting scoring 89 in just 53 balls with 10 4s and 4 6s that was very amazing performance by him.Look guys for chasing i think so a strong opening is require because if u dont score in power play then there is so less chance of winning that match.otherwise Pakistan bowling was as usual worse only imran did good bowling with the economy of 5 and also two wickets.next match if Pakistan bowling was like this siri lanka will score above 200 on us.

Pakistan won the series against Sri Lanka after winning this game. This game was played on home ground, so here, two hundred-plus runs in the first innings are very common and in PSL we saw it many times. After a long time, reasonable batting can be seen from Pakistani batters and Maaz Sadat played well but remained a little bit unlucky by missing the century, but Sahibzada Farhan also played aggressively and Pakistan set a strong target of 215 runs. It's a strong target for Sri Lanka, but it's not impossible to chase, and Lankan batters tried to manage the chase by going for big hits but didn't succeed; also, the Pakistani bowlers bowled well. Mainly Muhammad Imran gets his best figure of bowling by getting three wickets and it's the major role in Pakistan victory.

The team performance was really impressive the way they batted, the strike rate, everything was impressive. But not only the batting, the bowling performance also played a key role, taking the wickets and imposing pressure on the Sri Lankan team, which led to their loss of wickets and contributed to their victory. I hope that in the next match they continue their winning streak. I am also very excited for the upcoming home series of the team, we'll see how they perform. However, the Pakistan team has never been entirely trustworthy, they sometimes behave contrary to our expectations.

India are putting up a great batting performance to keep the 3rd T20I in their own hands. Although the runs scored a little more strongly in the match today compared to other matches, however, today India might be able to score around 230 if they can add runs quickly. I saw that West Indies' batting performance in the second match was very strong, they scored runs very quickly and won the match. Since there is a draw in the series equation between the two teams, whoever wins today will advance in the series, although both teams are in quite good form in T20Is. India's batsmen have lost 6 wickets, so they will not be able to score much runs at the moment, the bowling performance of the West Indies team was comparatively good today. However, if India's bowling performance is good when the West Indies team is batting in the second innings, then the game will be more exciting.

West Indies won the toss but put the Indian team for batting first. However start of the game was not high in quality, because of loss of very important batsman. Dismissal of Shreyas Lyer and Samson wickets created frustration, but next all players tried their best for the runs. It is observed today that West Indies made the game difficult for the rivals. As they gradually improve themselves with both aspects. Indian team set up 223 target for the opposite team, but they had the potential to do better than this. If we looked towards West Indies, Shai Hope disappointed today, who was the hope of team. But later Hetmyer and Pooran both stabilise the game.  Bolwer Arshdeep Singh was higly charged today, put three wickets in his pockets.Here West Indies realized that now the game is not in their hands. The gap between balls or runs was huge that is not easy to achieved but they struggling lot to reach close to the target. But lost the game by 14 runs.

There is no doubt about it. PAK squad have won back to back matches with impressive performances in this 3 match T20 competition. After results of first 2 matches, PAK squad have already won competition and now, 3rd t20 match will decide whether SL squad suffer whitewash or manage to avoid it.

PAK squad won 1st match while chasing target and in 2nd match, they set challenging total and defeated SL squad. PAK young player are performing quite well. I agree with your point that it was difficult to predict winner in 1st match. SL squad made some mistakes and let match slip away, making it competitive contest. But 2nd match was fully one sided, as PAK squad gave SL squad no chance to win.

Partnership among Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat played key role in match. They put SL squad under pressure with their bat collecting 73 and 96 scores respectively. Maaz Sadaqat came quite close to completing century but missed milestone by just 4 scores. With pressure already built by batters, Salman Mirza and Mohammad Imran both bowlers played important role with ball and picking 2 and 3 wickets respectively. They restricted SL squad to low total and helped PAK squad secure convincing victory by 82 scores.

Pakistan's cricket was in a very bad state, especially in all three formats, but they are trying to improve themselves a bit by winning the T20I against Sri Lanka by a big margin. They have already won two of the three-match T20I series, so the rest will be enough to whitewash them. And Pakistan also performed well in the Asian Games and won the silver medal. Overall, Pakistan is trying hard to bring themselves back to their previous performance in cricket.

[HelliumZ]

Today in a match of Legend Champion League between Bangladesh Champion and India Champion, Bangladesh Champion defeated India Champion. Although the position of India Champion and Bangladesh Champion in Champion League is not very good. Bangladesh Champion is below the point table and Bangladesh Champion is above the good champion, so India and Bangladesh are almost eliminated in Champion League.
However, Bangladesh performed very well in today's match, especially in the stipulated 20 overs, Bangladesh scored 141 runs but India ended the innings at 138 runs. That is, there was a three-run defeat and Bangladesh got its first win.

The team performance was very well against srilankan team but i dont know why they performed well in their home grounds but in foreign grounds their performance become very weak so they should improve more to beat strong teams like India Australia and england anyways sahibzada farhan and maaz sadaqat played very well. In bowling side imran took 3 wickets in 4 overs and give only 11 runs

In subcontinent conditions you don't need more than 2 seamers, Arshdeep and bumrah will fill up the spot and if you have fit hardik available then surely you don't need 3rd specialist seam option. Likes of dubey/ reddy should be treated as part timer as abhisek. For sena, depending on pitch, 3 main seamer could be necessary.

DSP saab does have experience but he isn't effective in t-20 much. Maybe if Arshdeep is resting then siraj could lead the attack.

I was surprised to see Tilak sleeping while batting on the ground. I was not expecting him to get out in that fashion.

Both tilak and axar are good and Street smart cricketers but yesterday they showed lack of game awareness and seems to take things casually. Bit of kutai in dressing room is required.

What PAKISTAN has said about these two games will make many fans happy. The way PAKISTAN is playing this match, they can also play against other teams, but if PAKISTAN thinks so much about our team, they can play superb with a bigger team than them. SRI LANKA has made itself unstoppable in this match. Some people thought that they would snatch this game from PAKISTAN, but PAKISTAN gave SRI LANKA a blow by setting a target of 215 and they lose with this consciousness. It had become tense for SRI LANKA and PAKISTAN bowlers also remained steadfast. They did not give SRI LANKA any chance to won this game. PAKISTAN had countless chances to won this match.

[Zaka1221]

Arshdeep Singh broke West Indian hearts, but still they have done a good job and have fought till the end. West Indian batting is performing consistently; it's a good sign for them. After losing the third match, they are down, but still their hopes and confidence are high; they are giving the go-to challenge to the best team in T20 format.

Bowling from both sides is on the same level due to batting-friendly conditions, but fans are enjoying it due to good balance between batting and power-hitting, which is bringing good changes in the game. All games have a good end.

Now the fourth game is going to be more exciting. The West Indies will try their best for bringing themselves on level; this will give them a good chance to watch Sherfane Rutherford and Shai Hope, who are going to be key players for visitors in the last two games. They needed to stay as long as they could if they wanted a good end of this series.

[Cointikka]

Yes, I am aware of it, but I was not expecting the vice-captain of the side to be so casual. When the team was struggling to get runs, it is his job to take the responsibility. Already, captain saahab was out after scoring only 1 run on the board. I do not think Iyer will be able to hold on to the position that has been given to him. He seems to be struggling to make decisions and has not been batting well for some time now.

It was a clinical performance by the bowlers and, for the first time, we saw good rotation of the bowlers at the death by Shreyas Iyer as the captain. I do not think that if Shubman Gill were the captain we would have seen the same result.

I was not expecting India to win since the ground was small, but it was a great performance to restrict the West Indies in the last few overs, especially by Naman Dhir and Arshdeep Singh.

Bro Iyer is not always making the right decisions on the field he made a big mistake when, in the finals, he gave back to back three overs to Bishnoi. He got lucky, I think, as Arshdeep was able to take the wicket of the in-form batter Hope. If he had stayed on, then we would have lost the match. Naman Dhir is new but promising. I hope he works on his batting too.

Bishnoi was in the team as specialist bowler and was 4th bowler, other 2 were part timers so iyer had no choice and had to use him to get one extra over.

If iyer had 5 specialist bowlers in the playing XI then he wouldn't had to toss the ball to bishnoi but that wasn't the case in the finals.

West Indies basically fell behind in the 18th over of the match, in which 2 wickets fell. West Indies could score 11 runs in the 19th over. And despite scoring 22 runs in the last over, they lost the match to India by 14 runs. Yes, in yesterday's match, the Indian bowlers bowled very well, in a series in which the opposing teams were easily winning the match by crossing 250-300 runs, the target of 224 runs was not safe. I thought that West Indies might win this match well, but the Indian bowlers did not allow it.
And talking about captaincy, it must be said that any decision during the match can change the outcome of the match at any moment, as you said, Shreyas Iyer has held. Yes, he really has held.

[JunaidAzizi]

India won the third match of this series with a good target. As usual, they are setting a target above 200, which is good. However, this time they are facing the West Indies team, who have already won one match against India. In this match, they gave India a very tough time and were just 14 runs away from victory. Maybe if they had played a little faster, the match would have been in their hands. However, there is now a smaller gap in the bowling, the bowlers you mentioned can't be replaced, but the new players are trying to adjust, and with time, they will become the next good players for the Indian team.
