Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[Cheema02]

India finished with 376 runs on the second day, Bangladesh, although batting today, they were disappointed at the start. Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto who are batting well are out due to which Bangladesh's runs are very short, after these two players out the match depended a lot on Litton Das, but he is also out. Since Litton Das is out Bangladesh lost 6 wickets now they don't have good batting, but they are going to be all out very soon in today's match, Bangladesh's game is not improving in batting so unable to meet the target given by India today.

The match between India and Bangladesh is going on and at this time strong India is going and why not because they are playing in a strong and fast pace.  They scored 376 runs in the first innings, which was a very good and strong target for Bangladesh, but the Bangladeshi batsmen scored only 149 runs and the whole team will be there, and here the prediction is complete that Bangladesh has lost the match.  is  But now the second innings is being played and in this the Indian batsmen have scored 58 runs in 15 overs and have lost 2 wickets.  

Yes, You're right Bangladesh team gave a very disappointing performance in their first innings, scoring only 149 runs and the whole team will be out. After good batting, the Indian bowling performance was outstanding, especially Jasprit Bumrah's bowling well, picked four important wickets, and Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja both also picked 2 2 wickets and helped India to all out Bangladesh under 150 runs. India current score is 81 runs with loss of three wickets and lead cross to 300 plus runs. I think India will declare their innings after a lead of 420-plus runs against Bangladesh. I think India will win easily, and this series will not only increase India's ranking but also help to reach the final of the World Test Championship.

Did you forget how Bangladesh recovered from 26/6 in Pakistan? Both Ravi did the same thing for India. The main thing is you cannot repeat the same thing every day. Yes, they took complete control of the first innings even though they lost six wickets. A hundred and ninety-nine partnership was awesome from this duo. But can anyone guarantee that Ashwin and Jadeja will be able to do the same thing in the 2nd innings? I don't think so.

India is always a stronger team, and when they play in their backyard, you cannot really compare their performance with Bangladesh's. They are a much stronger team. But what we were expecting was that Bangladesh would play some competitive cricket.

Conditions and opponents are always having huge impact on teams performance if you are thinking you will have same conditions like in Pakistan then you are living in foolish heavens India is completely different place for cricket, and you can't go like you done in other regions here so just stay in reality and now check how things take change with Bangladesh is going to face huge defeat in this first test match after having poor batting in first inning.

While India were 144 for 6 I was still sure we are going to have 350 runs, and they achieve this figure because they are having good all-rounders which can handle the situation but still Bangladesh bowlers are improving, and they are doing good job, but they need more experience and better technique for having consistency in this format for me Pakistan is currently worst team in all formats so having win against them is not big achievement.

I think India will win easily, and this series will not only increase India's ranking but also help to reach the final of the World Test Championship.

As we saw a great performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen against Pakistan in the last series, we thought that the Bangladesh team would do well against India as well. Bangladesh team surprised everyone by winning two Test matches against Pakistan. But Indian team is more experienced and stronger than Pakistan. They have an experienced batting order and bowling order. The chances of Bangladesh performing well against this team were very low. And I would say we have seen performance as expected from Bangladesh.

Bangladeshi bowlers can't do well either. India's top order batsmen did not perform well but Jadeja and Ashwin played well. As a result, the Indian team managed to collect big. But none of the batsmen in the Bangladesh squad could bat responsibly. However, Bangladesh will lose this match by a big margin. It will be a miracle if Bangladesh team wins against an experienced team like India.

[Mahdirakib]

Even if they win the Test match against Pakistan, the Bangladesh team will probably not be able to win against India. Had India lost all wickets before 300, Bangladesh had the potential to take a decent lead. But if India collect 400+ it will be difficult for Bangladesh to take the lead. Even if the Bangladesh team faces a batting disaster, I will not be surprised.

The batting disaster of Bangladesh was expected. They would have lost the match by an innings if India enforced the follow-on. Pakistan has lost against Bangladesh for their poor performance. Their bowlers couldn't do well. There would have been a little hope for Bangladesh if they managed to restrict India within 200 runs in the first innings. India has already taken a lead of 308 runs, it is enough to win against Bangladesh. They still have their 7 wickets in hand.

[Farhan99]

The Sri Lankan team scored only 305 runs on the first day and on the second day, the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team on the second day was not good at all. The target of 305 runs for New Zealand is very low in Test matches. The way the New Zealand team has been batting at the moment has been very good, and they will soon complete the target and give a big lead. New Zealand scored 255 runs on the second day with the loss of their wickets only needing to score 50 runs to meet the target given by Sri Lanka, and I think New Zealand team will be able to bat brilliantly on the third day, but Sri Lanka have a chance to win this match if they improve their game.

Yep, in 2nd inning Sri lanka made 237 runs Fallen four wickets and Day three stumps off Sri lanka team could not start their innings well then after that Dimuth Karunaratne and Dinesh Chandimal played 147 runs partnership which created pressure on New Zealand team Dimuth Karunaratne played brilliant innings of 83 runs while other players contributed good runs into the total score. Skipper de Silva and Angelo Mathews are playing good innings each has scored 34 runs and Sri lanka lead by 202 runs Excellent bowling by William O’Rourke in first inning he takes five wickets and now three wickets taken by him. Sri lanka team is playing good cricket they should score minimum 150 more runs and give a target above 350 runs because six wickets remaining now which will be enough to defend this target on last day

I said yesterday in this thread that after the Test series with Pakistan Bangladesh team is a bit confident but the batting line-up of Bangladesh might be weak in front of Indian bowlers and we saw that in today's match. Bangladeshi batsmen were not only weak but very weak in front of Indian bowlers in today's match so they could not keep the ability to cross 150 runs.

However, if we compare the Indian team with the Pakistan team, then it will not be the same because the Indian team is even a little bit stronger than the Pakistan team. And we can see the result in this match. And I will agree with you that the performance is not always the same, many times it is seen that the weak team beats the strong team and if it happens then Bangladesh can also beat the Indian team in the next match.

You are absolutely right. There is no comparison between India and Pakistan team at this time. Because India is much better as compare to Pakistan in cricket. We have seen in the ODI World Cup and in T20I World Cup. Imdia was leading.

Well the test match is is ongoing between Bangladesh and India. We can see India is much better. India made 379 runs in the first inning and in the second inning they are at 81/3. And India id leading by 308 runs. If India will go 150 runs. And the target will be near to 400 so this will be very difficult target for Bangladesh. Which will not be possible to chase.

[Popkon6]

The Bangladesh team failed to meet the target of 376 runs in the first innings, and the Bangladesh team was bowled out for just 149 runs. So, the better the Indian team performs in today's second innings, the more difficult it will be for the Bangladesh team and the pressure will be created.  Shubman Gill and Pant form the current partnership in the India team, and Shubman Gill has scored a half-century at the moment. And now he is ready to bat with the aim of scoring a century and is performing in an experienced manner for this test match. 
Indian team is now batting performance without any pressure, and they can succeed in this batting performance. So far India team has given a lead of 345 runs, so India team can collect more runs. And if the Bangladesh team is given a target of 450 runs then the Bangladesh team will fail to win in any way, because the bowling bowlers like Hasan Mahmud are not able to create pressure in any way.

[libert19]

Jasprit Bumrah picked up 4 wickets today. But my question is whether India need him against a team like Bangladesh? He is injury prone, and ideally he should be playing test matches only against big-3 teams. Against teams like Bangladesh, pacers such as Mukesh Kumar or Arshdeep Singh can be considered for selection.

Bumrah is not injury prone, is he? IMO, someone like Mayank Yadav is who you call injury prone. Also, BGT series starting in 2 months from now, so you gotta keep playing to keep your skills sharpened, why practice in net when you can practice against Bangladesh (they are good team, point being no need of rest).

[Swordsoffreedom]

Team India is slowly moving towards big collections. The top order batsmen failed to bat well in the first innings. Ashwin and Jadeja saved the Indian team. But India lost three wickets very quickly in the second innings as well. But due to the responsible batting of Rishab Pant and SHubman Gill, India will probably be able to collect big in the second innings as well. The Indian team managed to take a big lead of 227 runs in the first innings as well. And in the second innings so far has managed to collect 205 runs with the loss of 3 wickets. Pant 82 and Gill 86 remain unbeaten. And the Indian team took a lead of 432 runs.

There is no possibility that Bangladesh will win this match. As today is only the third day, there is no possibility of the match being a draw. India will set a target of at least 500 runs. I am waiting to see how many runs the Bangladesh team lost in this match. Bangladeshi fans did not expect such a terrible batting against India after their brilliant performance in the last series against Pakistan.

Consistent top of the game performance is rare but It's 11 players game, if just one or two step up when needed that'll be good enough for the team.

Now, look at it, Gill at 86 and Pant at 82, now even if Jadeja-Ashwin fail (that's they get to bat first) — it doesnt matter because India already has good lead on the board.

Edit: Changed 'score' to 'lead'.

India had already taken a huge lead of 432 runs by the lunch break and it looked like Bangladesh were going to lose by a huge margin because of their lack of reliable batsmen and the ones they had were too mentally weak, especially against India. Both Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are batting brilliantly and a century is expected from them. Both of them are batting in one day style and Gill scored 86 runs off 137 balls and Pant scored 82 runs off 108 balls and is still unbeaten. I think India can declare their innings with a lead of 500 runs, in which case Bangladesh team will not be able to take the pressure of so many runs and they will definitely lose.

On the third day of play today and the disastrous situation at the ground in Chennai till the mid-day break, Bangladeshi player Taskin said that India has the added advantage of being the host. Bangladesh team showed good performance in the tour of Pakistan but the tour of India is looking a bit uneven but he expressed hope that they will fight till the end to win.

[virasog]

Now, look at it, Gill at 86 and Pant at 82, now even if Jadeja-Ashwin fail (that's they get to bat first) — it doesnt matter because India already has good score on the board.

Yes, it doesn't matter now who is able to play big innings or even if India lost some quick wickets, they already have a big lead of 432 runs and with 7 wickets still in hand, they seem to be in full control in this test match. However i would love to see the century of Rishabh Pant (who is batting at 94) and Shubman Gill (batting on 87 runs). These two batsmen's partnership started when Virat Kohli was out and India were 67/3.
There is lunch time at Chennai and when the game proceeds, we are going to see some action. It is day three, and session 01 just finished, hence there is plenty of time for the Indian batsmen to pile up runs and shatter some records.

Bangladesh performed well against Pakistan so I thought Bangladesh will perform well against India. But Bangladesh's batting line was very weak against India. No batsman of Bangladesh has been able to bat well with patience. In the first innings of Bangladesh, no batsman could score even fifty runs. Bangladesh was behind by many runs in the first innings. India batted well in the first innings as well and are batting well in the 2nd innings. So far India have collected 270 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill both gave excellent performances. Rishabh Pant scored a century, he was dismissed for 109 runs. Shubman Gill has just scored a century. India have given away a lead of 497 runs so far. It will not be possible for Bangladesh to chase the target of huge runs, there is a high possibility of Bangladesh's defeat in this Test.

[Tony116]

There is no possibility that Bangladesh will win this match. As today is only the third day, there is no possibility of the match being a draw. India will set a target of at least 500 runs. I am waiting to see how many runs the Bangladesh team lost in this match. Bangladeshi fans did not expect such a terrible batting against India after their brilliant performance in the last series against Pakistan.

In the second innings, India scored 287 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. And the Indian team declared the innings with a total lead of 514 runs. The Bangladesh team will go into bat after a while after the target of 515 runs. Is there any chance of Bangladesh winning this match? We saw that Bangladesh team managed to play a great innings of 556 runs against Pakistan.

Bangladesh managed to collect only 149 runs in their first innings. We know that Bangladeshi players are always weak in Test format. But even then we did not think that the team would bat so badly. Atleast I thought Bangladesh team could collect more than 250. If Bangladesh's top order can do well, maybe Bangladesh team can collect a big in the second innings.

~snip~

We don't see pitch like these in Indian condition very often and that is one of the probable reason why they need game time and looks like they are preparing themselves for the Australian pitches that is going to be very crucial factor for WTC.

Bangladesh knew it is going to be hard and they showed some decent skills with their bowling but their batting unit is not enough against this world class attack and Akash Deep delivered too and in the second innings we will see the spin duo in play if the match goes to day 4.

For Bangladesh, India usually goes with a seam deck, which also happened in the last tour of 2019-20. Likes of Ishant, Yadav, and Shami feasted on the Bangladeshi batting lineup and picked up more than 90% wickets. Ashwin and Jaddu were there for formalities.

After Bangladesh, India are playing 3 test matches against New Zealand so spin wickets should be back in October.

[Bitcoin Smith]

After Bangladesh, India are playing 3 test matches against New Zealand so spin wickets should be back in October.

We know India will roll over the opposition when there's spin and opposition hide under that term even if they lose all the matches so it would be better if we produce seaming conditions cause we have enough players to win matches with seam attack too not like in the old days we won't see every Indian seamer is capable of clicking 140 consistently.

Let's come to this match target of 515 is set for Bangladesh to score which is impossible to make it. Pant and Gill got one more ton under their names before the declaration now it's time for the bowlers to showcase their skills.

Yes, they can but why?

SENA rolls out green decks to India, every single time so there is no need to be a nice person when it comes to exploiting your opponent's weakness or taking home advantage.

Indian management worked hard on their fast bowling unit and improved drastically, that's why they started winning in SENA. SENA should also work on its spin department and if some honest efforts are put in then it will surely produce good results.

[HelliumZ]

Let's come to this match target of 515 is set for Bangladesh to score which is impossible to make it. Pant and Gill got one more ton under their names before the declaration now it's time for the bowlers to showcase their skills.

I don't know if there is a history of winning a Test match with a target of 515 runs in the second innings. Moreover, it is hundred percent sure that a team like Bangladesh will not be able to win against India by targeting a target of 515 runs. However, Bangladesh has just gone to the tea break but no wicket has fallen for Bangladesh so far.  But no matter how defensively Bangladesh plays, when the batting disaster strikes, Bangladesh keeps losing wickets one after the other.

[Minor Miner]

Atleast I thought Bangladesh team could collect more than 250. If Bangladesh's top order can do well, maybe Bangladesh team can collect a big in the second innings.

According to google the winning possibility of Bangladesh is only 2.3%. India's bowling order is very strong. Bhumrah, Siraj, Akash, Ashwin and Jadeja are all very experienced bowlers. And playing an innings of 515 runs against these bowlers is very difficult for any big team. The performance of Bangladesh's batsmen has always been erratic in the Test format. No one but God can tell when this team will play well.

However, although Bangladesh batted very badly in the first innings, in the second innings, the two young Bangladeshi openers are able to bat very responsibly. Bangladesh has already collected 55 runs without losing any wicket. Zakir remains unbeaten with 32 runs from 38 balls and Shadman with 20 runs from 38 balls. If the two opening batsmen can score a century then I would say Bangladesh have a small chance to win.
