T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Cheema02]

South Africa have already lost four important wickets, they are batting under a lot of pressure and may be all out very soon. It is a very difficult challenge for South Africa to fill the lead given by Australia, besides the batting performance of Australia is very strong Josh Hazlewood has taken two wickets. Australia is putting pressure on South Africa so that they can win their Test match by a big margin. Looking at the performance of South Africa, it seems that they may not be able to score many runs, they have scored 102 runs and currently they have lost 4 wickets. South Africa needs to score 319 runs if they want to win against Australia, but currently South Africa's batting performance does not indicate their victory at all, in that case Australia is going to win this match by a big margin.

I think this post is about a Test Match, so it would be better to share it in the relevant Test Cricket discussion thread. Anyway, this match is going to favour Australia because South Africa lost four quick wickets, and it's very difficult for South Africa to come back in this run chase. This match is also interesting because the Australians have a side of players over the age of 30 for this Test and they have proven that age is just a number; if you have the ability, you can defeat any team. Australia played outstanding cricket in front of South Africa's home crowd. During the first innings, it seemed unlikely they would even manage 200 runs, but the way the batters performed especially Matt Renshaw impressive innings was remarkable. Tomorrow is the 5th day; I expect Australia to win by a huge margin and bowl out South Africa for under 200 runs.

Possible for WI to win the series but not because of their strong batting but due to the mediocre bowling of India, which doesn't represent the worlds rank No.1 T20I team and for the fact ICC ranking system is not the actual representation of strong tams.

Both the teams should bowl first and try to chase any target because batting is their strong suit and chasing even 250 became a joke which we have already seen in this series.

A few decades back their bowling was most lethal in the cricket world, but in the last few years they have been producing a good number of batsmen but sadly fail to bring quality bowlers. Those give them better performance with consistency even right now; mostly cricketing rules are favorable for batsmen, but still their bowling does not have good depth. It's hurting them badly in the long run; they are conceding enough runs in every game.

Currently they are down with the score of 2 - 1, but their performance is good. Just because of this, chances are high this series can go into the fifth match with the score of 2-2 because aggressive batting from the West Indian team is helping them have a good chance of winning the series.

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.

Pakistan has succeeded in this series after a lot of effort, if they play with the same hard work and effort, they can become enough strong. The strong target that Pakistan has played in this second match has given Sri Lanka a very bad defeat, all because of their bowling and the carelessness of their batsmen. If they had put pressure on the Pakistan batsmen, the Pakistan batsmen could have given the target easily, which could have given Sri Lanka a very good chance. Sri Lanka played very poorly, due to which they have faced such a defeat. If Sri Lanka wants to avoid a whitewash, then they will have to play the last match with full effort so that their success can be achieved from this match against Pakistan. Pakistan has this good time, from which they can become strong enough for the World Cup, so they will have to victory every match, big or small.

If West Indies team wants to win then they have to win two more matches in a row, but if it depends on West Indies team's performance then it will never be possible. Because out of three matches only one match has been won, the difference between India team and West Indies team is 2-1 so it is very easy for India team to win this series just one match has to be won.
But if I think for West Indies team then they have to win two matches in a row which is not possible for West Indies team because India team has stronger bowling line and batting line they can perform well from both sides.

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.

Why did the Indian team management go for him? I never liked this guy because he does not have the pitch awareness to bowl leg break googly.

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.

I think getting 5 specialist bowlers is not the point here. If Bishnoi was getting hammered, why did not Iyer try one of the part time bowlers after Bishnoi got hammered in his first over? It has been recorded that sometimes part timers do confuse a set batter, causing them to lose their wickets. This guy lacks the guts that I feel SKY had when he was the captain of the Indian T20 side.

As far as management is concerned, it's not about bishnoi or some individual player. During Asian games, indian teams were playing simultaneously at different place. India A vs aus A ( test, odi), india vs windies (Odi), Rest of India vs j&k ( test) and under 19 as well against Australia. So it was all about how they use their resources.

His googlies are fine, his main problem is his runup because it changes every year. Being wrist bowler is already tough in cricket and he only makes his life complicated by keep changing his runup.

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.

I think getting 5 specialist bowlers is not the point here.

That is main point because in t-20, you can't rely on part timers to fill 8 over quota, in this case abhisek and dubey. Specialist bowler has to squeeze maximum overs and in finals he bowled 3.

The impact player rule affected the emergence of genuine all-rounders, and when Hardik went down, we just didn't have anyone else. Ad trying to fill in overs with Reddy or Dube but this is okay for Asian games or even a series against WI but when we are preparing the team for WC then we should focus on the genuine all-rounders, preferably a seam-bowling all-rounder.

In 3rd t20 match between Pakistan and srilanka Pakistan batted first and set a target of 168 with the loss of 8 wickets. Sahibzada farhan is the top scorer of the match as he made 76 runs what a player he is and the way he is hitting and performing continuously i think this is his 3rd 70 in this series and in the last overs arfat minhas made 34 runs which help pakistan to set the target of 168. Now srilanka is chasing the target and they have a loss of one wicket in the very first over. I think pakistan will win this match they just need some more wickets and to restrict them in the powerplay.

Well, buddy, Pakistan lost the match this time, but happily, they won the series 2:1, and that's enough for the team. Maybe Pakistan can win this match too, and they left it for Sri Lanka to go back with something in hand. Somehow, in this series, we tested our new players, and they performed great. Now, in the next series, if their performance is the same, then we can hope for good results in the next World Cup. If they fail to sustain such performance, then practice is very necessary.

Today's is the third match between Pakistan vs  Sri Lanka and it's a last match of this serie. Pakistan has built a lot of strength in the first two matches and is expected to succeed in this last match as well. They can whitewash Sri Lanka by playing with tough in this match. But Pakistan batsmen have scored 168 runs in this match, Pakistan's batsmen were careless in terms of wickets, due to which they can lose this match. Sri Lanka batsmen are playing enough well at the moment, they have bowled very hard and Pakistan has reduced that strength. If Pakistan bowlers play with effort, they can defeat Sri Lanka right now. At this time, Sri Lanka batsmen have scored 112 runs, if they work hard, they can avoid a whitewash. But Pakistan should not do that because it will make Pakistan the same strength as before. This match has become very interesting. If Pakistan victory this, then it will be a very surprising match.

SL has won the last T20 match with 8 wickets. In today's match Pakistani batting struggled a lot except Shahibzada Farhan he has played an exceptional innings once again. The 66 runs partnership between Farhan and Arafat Minhas is now highest 7th wicket partnership in T20Is. Due to this partnership Pakistan managed to give a good target to SL which they chased in 17.1 overs. Today SL was a totally different side. Farhan was man of the series for scoring 238 runs in 3 matches and Kusal Mendis was player of the match for scoring 87 runs.

Sri Lanka made a remarkable comeback; after losing two consecutive matches, they won today's third match by a big margin. But Pakistan won this T20 series 2-1 and the Man of the Series is Sahibzada Farhana, who scored the most runs in the series. I considered Pakistan the favorite for this match, but the way Sri Lanka bowled restricting Pakistan to under 170 runs and subsequently chasing down the target in just 17 overs was truly outstanding. The man of the match is Kusal Mendis for his wonderful batting performance scored a well-deserved half century and remained unbeaten after scoring 87 runs assisting his team to win this match quite easily. The hero of the previous match, Maaz Sadaqat, was bowled out for zero, due to which the Pakistan team could not set a big target and lost the match without any fight.

In the third game of the T20I series, Pakistan have a good chance to whitewash the series because in the previous two games their performances were very impressive and even Pakistani batters have a good understanding of the Hindi ground, but still they lost the last one. In this game, Sri Lanka was at the top in both batting and bowling, especially because their bowlers bowled very hard and gave a very tough time to Pakistan's batters. In the end, Pakistan scored just 168 runs, in which Sahibzada's 76 runs were remarkable. Along with bowling, Lankan batters put in a very planned batting and Kusal Mendis was so impressive in this way by playing an 87 runs not out innings and gaining the title of man of the match. So, Pakistan won the series by 2-1 dominance even after losing this game.

It's true Sahibzada Farhan were consistent throughout the series and truly lead from the front for his team like a leader and delivered great results in his very first stint as captain. Although fell just short of a clean sweep, but his efforts were admirable even in last match after brutal batting order collapse. Moreover both mendis partnership really hurt green shirts bowling department confidence which led them leak dozen and that's how they catch the required few overs before.

Maaz sadqat could be the new sensation for Pakistani team especially at shorter format as he truly has ability to finish crucial games regardless of condition and opponent strength. Hope so management keeps a close eye on him to make sure polish his skills for big matches.

Maaz sadqat could be the new sensation for Pakistani team especially at shorter format as he truly has ability to finish crucial games regardless of condition and opponent strength. Hope so management keeps a close eye on him to make sure polish his skills for big matches.

It often happens in the PAK team that if a player plays one or two games with nice performing and intelligence, his position is raised. There are many players in the past who have done this. Now it can happen with Maaz too. He played well in 2 games for the power of his team but in the last game he was out for zero. We want the position of the PAK team to rise higher and higher, but looking at their ability and potential, these players will be improved. If they do this in just one or a few games, it will be like Babar and Rizwan, so it is not decided yet that Maaz will get a higher position, but he can be tested by putting him in the next closed games, in which he can be included in the format in the next games.

So, Pakistan won the series by 2-1 dominance even after losing this game.

Pakistan International cricket team performance was not good in the last match because target was not enough to win this match . After winning the series Pakistan team was relaxed and that is a big reason they lose the last match and the Media always hype Pakistan team which created pressure on Pakistan team and they could not performance well in this match .Kusal Mendis took responsibility of the team and he made important runs for the team and he was not out till end which was a big reason they won last match and they saved their respect but  everyone was thinking there will be whitewash because Pakistan team is looking in good rhythm but in the last match Pakistan batting lineup was collapse and players could not perform as we expected and they lose this match.

[Ab de villiers]

Today is very important and stressful day for West Indies team, as India already have the lead, if West Indies want to come on equal position they have to put immense effort. Shai Hope cover his previous lack, here he played fearlessly he scored 102 runs on just 50 balls. Or remained not out it was his fabulous performance with 9 sixes. As we have noticed the improvement of West Indies team in every next matches, same we saw here. Only few players played the contest and build competitive target of 243 runs. Not only they worked on the savings of wickets but also proved themselves through high targets. Indian on other hand is now on the ground, no doubt we cannot take him lightly they have still wickets or enough balls in hands. They have the ability to cover whatever rival's target. Abhieshek Sharma or Ishan Kishan the pair can play important role . However currently West Indies is on stron position, hence we all have to wait for the final results.

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. 

I am not arguing against it either, but according to me, Shreyas Iyer is a much better tactical captain than Shubman Gill.
The fourth T20 match is ongoing and West Indies have posted a great total. Once again, Shai Hope scored a wonderful century. Whenever he performs, they dominate the opposition. In return, Sanju Samson had a great start, but unfortunately India lost a couple of wickets, and right now West Indies have the advantage to win.

In return, Sanju Samson had a great start, but unfortunately India lost a couple of wickets, and right now West Indies have the advantage to win.

Now in the conditions of the match, it is quite difficult for India to win because they have to score more than 13 runs per over. Although Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma are unbeaten on wickets, so these two batsmen will have to play more aggressively. However, these two batsmen have enough ability to take the match out, so if these two players become aggressive at any time, the match can go in India's favor.

However, Shai Hope has played a very important role in this T20 series, especially since he has already scored two centuries and won the match with his first century, and if he wins today too, his century will be the credit for the match.
