T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Cointikka]

He's about to touch 37 soon so he needs to produce atleast something and give selectors some reasons to trust him.

He is good but with his age he has dried down with options as a bowler. He may hit a jackpot in this series if he can come out with his old ways of bowling. Or he will die down in this series. It is too early to come up with an assumption. Let him finish this series I assume the coach will give him all that exposure that he questioned through his PR stinct. Lets enjoy the game for now. We have already won the series.

Abhishek Sharma has helped India win the most in today's match, the biggest achievement is that he scored a century and scored 113 runs in 38 balls. In today's match, he fought like a lion against the entire New Zealand team, India's three consecutive wins indicate that the New Zealand team will be whitewashed.
 If the New Zealand team performs poorly in terms of bowling, then it seems that they will not be able to play a role in winning the next matches as well, so can the New Zealand team be saved from being whitewashed in this series?

Made a mockery of chase, it wasn't cricket but massacre.

It was great to see India sending Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to open the innings. They took the match away from New Zealand right from the start and made the chase look incredibly easy. Before the tournament even started, I wasn't expecting India to win the first three matches in a row and clinch the series. It has been an exceptional series.

These two players opening the chase will give a scare to the opponent bowlers that itself will help with the chases because breaking confidence itself a half stage to the winning. And I didn't expect India to pull off this high-scoring chase because 3 in 3 isn't something we see often. Happy to see we are getting stronger on overseas conditions with the young fellas.

IND / NZ

My prediction was correct for this series, I knew that if NZ could not wins the first game, then they would lose all the games in this series. IND has actually become a powerful team with a nice coach and preparation, they have kept NZ behind in every game. In this last game today, the total runs that NZ players have scored together was 198 and all of them were completed by IND players in 13 overs. The IND team is really to play very thoughtfully, if they continue to rise like this, then AUS, NZ, ENG will also become like ordinary and small teams for them. And the powerful of the NZ team has now become very low compared to IND.

What a performance by the Indian batters on the toughest ground in New Zealand. India has almost won this T20I series and is dominating it 3-0, and the remaining two games may be won by New Zealand. But according to the current situation, it seems that New Zealand may be whitewashed. New Zealand opened the innings first, and in this series Glenn Phillips has continuously added to his aura with aggressive knocks. In this game, Daryl Mitchell was so impressive tonight with 89 runs, and in the end New Zealand gave a good total of 198 runs. In response, India broke the world record and chased this target in the thirteenth over. Abhishek Sharma scored his fourth century, and India set a record for the highest powerplay runs without losing any wickets. This game was totally in favour of India and shows batting dominance all over the world.

India is playing very aggressive cricket; they have scored 84 runs in the first 3.3 overs. If India had batted first today, I feel they could have posted a score of over 300 runs. New Zealand posted a solid total of 200 runs, with Daryl Mitchell contributing 89; unfortunately, he could not complete his century. India, however, finished the match with seven overs to spare and led the series 3-0. Abhishek Sharma played a very important role in this match; he scored well deserved half century off just the first 15 balls. Looking at the way Abhishek Sharma is batting, it seems to me that India is going to whitewash New Zealand in this series

With this performance of Indian batsmen and aggression, no one can argue about home conditions or batting-friendly conditions because now they are doing this in SENA, where things have never been favorable for them, but they have done a historic job with a 3-0 winning lead in the series. I was really shocked due to their massacre at Wellington; all bowlers were treated as gali bowlers, really fascism from Indian batsmen. This game needs to have some good intention from the ICC. 
Because allowing batting like this has never been allowed at this level, an over-300 strike rate is an alarming new level, and things are not going to be favorable for challengers. Hopefully someone will react quickly and give better ideas on how to control them and have good results against this new Indian blood in bloody cricket.

IND cricket team have aggressive players and they have many Goat players of the T20 format as they have Abhishek Sharma who broke many records and made 4 centuries in the start of his career and his strike rate is very high as he hit the ball from the first ball of the match. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is also top class player of T20 history because he always charge from the start of the inning.   IND have players who can chase the score above 250 because they play with zero fear and we didn't see that kind of batting by any player of any team. IND won the series and at that moment series is one sided and there is no interest in the matches.

And yet these two batters have not been able to break Yuvi's record of scoring 50 in 12 balls against England. I still remember the team of England had an all rounder who instigated Yuvi. I do not remember his name, but that guy was one of the best all rounders at that time. He is better at bowling and good at batting. It was similar to what Kapil Dev was in the 80s.

Indian batsmen are changing the meaning of T20 in modern cricket. I have never seen such an innings in any domestic league as the Indian openers have done in an international match. Perhaps the target of 199 runs was set by New Zealand and in the second innings, the two young Indian openers started a real riot. In the first five overs, they scored 100 runs on the scoreboard and in just 13.2 overs, they were able to score 199 runs where Abhishek Sharma played a brilliant innings of 113 runs in just 38 balls. With the kind of gems that India is bringing out through their domestic league i.e. IPL, it can be said with great confidence that they will rule the cricket world very well for the next few years.

To be honest, India played really well. On the other hand, New Zealand did not play badly. They also played well. They scored 198 runs in just 20 overs and India scored 199 runs in just 13 overs. Here, to be honest, India has to be given a thumbs up. Especially Abhishek Sharma, he scored a century all by himself and his 11 sixes actually changed the whole scenario of the match. On the other hand, if we talk about New Zealand's bowlers, then Mitchell Santner has to be given credit because he is the only bowler in whose over India has conceded the least runs. He gave away only 17 runs in just three overs. And India completely destroyed the entire power play. They scored 118 runs in the power play.

IND squad have taken 3,0 lead in this 5 match T20 format competition. NZ squad have already lost this format and they have not won single match so far with two match still remaining. There is strong chance that IND squad could whitewash NZ squad. If we look closely at all 3 match, we can see that NZ batted first every time and posted good scores in 20 over inning. In one match, they even crossed 200 scores mark and real issue was their bowling and making good total is not enough if you cannot defend it and NZ faced same issue. They failed to stop ind squad from chasing target and lost 3 matches in row.

In recent match, NZ squad also set total of almost 200 scores but they could not stop IND squad from chasing scores. Abhishek Sharma quick century made chase look easy. Such aggressive batting at start is always big advantage for whole squad and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also bat quite well with Abhishek Sharma and built strong partnership. INd squad lost 4 wicket while chasing total but their boundary hitting was real treat to watch. IND squad defeated Nz squad in 3rd match by big margin winning by 6 wickets with 40 ball to spare.

The entire Indian team is so strong that they have the strength to achieve the target alone with their hard work and this time Sharma scored so many runs with a very good effort and achieved the victory. This was the biggest defeat for New Zealand because they lost and got whitewashed in every match due to which India has become so strong. When India had achieved such a big target in the first match, it was only then that it was certain that there was no place for New Zealand in this series and India actually played hard and achieved the victory. They should have increased the target a little and should have tightened their bowling, only then they could have succeeded against India in the last match and some disappointment would have been reduced. New Zealand could not save themselves from the whitewash in any way, although if they had played hard and prepared, we would have seen a different interest.

In NPL, Sudurpaschim Royals were able to get their first win after a losing start. On an average scoring match, Pokhara Avenger's made just 145 at the end of 20 overs losing 7 wickets, where Arjun Gharti notout with 40 of 25 balls was the highest scorer, Sudurpaschim Royals getting a low target, started aggressive and finished in the 17th over with 51 notout from captain Dipendra Singh Airee in 36 balls.
Similarly on another average scoring match, Karnali Yaks won by 19 runs limiting Janakpur Bolts to 133 runs.
Today there are two matches, Janakpur Bolts vs Kathmandu Gurkhas and Biratnagar Kings Plays with Karnali Yaks, it would be the first match of the series for Kathmandu. Kathmandu and Karnali would be the favourites for their respective matches.

Earlier, such high-voltage matches were not seen in T20 cricket, especially in international matches, but at that time, the safe zone for any team was to score 160 to 170 runs. If the big teams could score 160 or 170 runs in the first innings, then there would have been a tough fight in that match, but now the definition of cricket has changed. When a team scores almost 20 runs per over in international cricket in the power play, then think about how far the target of that team is. The way India batted aggressively against New Zealand, it is certain that if they had batted in the first innings, their runs would have gone close to 280.

Sudurpaschim Royals bounced back after losing their first game and Dipendra Singh Airee contributed significantly to them in the win with his unbeaten 51. The Royals had an easier chase for Pokhara, who failed to score quite runs to make it challenging. Karnali Yaks must also be given credit for holding on to their total well and applying pressure to Janakpur during the innings. The matches to be played today will be very interest particularly for the Kathmandu Gurkhas who will be kicking off their campaign. Karnali will also aim to maintain the winning streak, but both sides have a chance if they play cricket intelligently and rectify the queries, if any. The teams that are better under pressure in the big moments may have the best card to play in today games.

I watched the T20 match between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe's innings and Sikandar Raja's batting. Sikandar Raja's innings of 106 runs was amazing, but winning is not possible only if the batting is aggressive on one side. If the batsman on the other side is not aggressive, then it is not possible to win the match by trying alone. If any other batsman could have been as aggressive as Sikandar Raja, then maybe Afghanistan could have been defeated. But that did not happen, instead, Zimbabwe lost by 19 runs to Afghanistan's target of 222 runs.

[JSRAW]

We are onto runfest again, so far worth every penny for the spectators. Hope chase match the same intensity.

More fun if india put a fight with the bat, result doesn't matter much as long as it goes to the last ball finish.

Edit

Done n dusted

[Noorooo]

Today is the fourth match of the series and there is nothing left in this series. India have a clear 3–0 lead in the series. Now New Zealand need to win these last two matches to save themselves from further criticism. On the other hand India are in excellent batting form.And in today’s match i want India to bat first just to see they can score 300 runs or not? Honestly, seeing the form their players are in right now, it is fully possible.

The PR did their job, the paid press did too. I will not say anything against him before the series comes to an end. We still can wait for another 2 matches and see whether he can justify his comeback. I personally do not like his style of bowling, which is more dependent on his ability to swing the ball. He is known to leak runs but was also good at taking wickets initially in the T20 format. It is just the beginning for him to experience how modern cricket has changed. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar was rested for today's match and I am not judging his performance on smaller pitches like in New Zealand. He should be given an opportunity in T20 in a home series before making the final decision.

Earlier there was Praveen Kumar who had almost the same action with the swing they could produce was incredible and so is the case with Bhuvneshwar Kumar. You actually need the skill to have the natural swing and it is not that easy and so is the reason I appreciate his skills.

Agreed. These 2 lefties were having a party out there and I thought they would finish the entire job themselves. Abhishek's century celebrations as usual were entertaining. If they can improve their bowling attack, this Indian T20 team would become monstrous.

For today's match, the Indian management excluded Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and I am not sure why they would rest him. India is experimenting and rotating many players, and it will not help the new players.

India could potentially whitewash the Kiwis in this series primarily thanks to their stellar batting lineup. This is exactly why I felt they would have probably won the decider against the Windies in their last series if rain hadn't interfered.

The experimentation worked well for India. Finally, India lost the match chasing a huge target New Zealand set.

New Zealand did their best throughout the series, but India was somehow able to chase the total set by them. To overcome that, New Zealand just scored the biggest total of the series and India failed to chase that in the end.

[Bitcoin_people]

India's bowling performance was not very good today, New Zealand team had a good batting and bowling performance due to which they were able to win by a huge margin of 87 runs. In today's match, New Zealand batsman Glenn Phillips scored 107 runs in 49 balls, his batting performance was very good and due to his excited batting, New Zealand gave a big target today. Michael Bracewell was also in excellent batting form, he scored 65 runs in 25 balls, two batsmen played exceptionally due to which New Zealand team scored 259 runs. However, India's batting performance was not good at all and they were under pressure, especially Jacob Duffy's bowling was very aggressive, he took 4 wickets. However, India team played the match with great importance, since they had already won the series, they took this match normally.
