Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[cryptoWODL]

Bangladesh team's performance in Pakistan series was relatively good and they won both the matches. I am not very optimistic about the Bangladesh team in the tour of India as they are not a stable team and can lose the match against India by a huge margin. At this moment India team is very strong and they are capable of beating any team in the world and Bangladesh is very much a child in front of them.

Your predictions seem imprudent. Don't forget that anything can happen at any time in the game of cricket. In cricket you can never say for sure which team will win until the last ball of the innings. Yes, it is true that the Bangladesh team has lost all the Test matches they have played against India in the past years or earlier. But this year Bangladesh has found themselves anew, look at the performance of the Bangladesh Test team at present, how great they are performing.

If we talk about the first test match between India and Bangladesh in today's match then see Hasan Mahmood completely on fire for Bangladesh. He has already dismissed three Indian batsmen and sent them back to the pavilion. Bangladesh are still in the driver's position in this match. Currently, the pace unit of Bangladesh has become a concern of the coaches of various cricket teams around the world. Bangladesh have a chance to do well in today's match as they have already reduced India by three wickets for just 44 runs.

India Vs Bangladesh

After a successful tour to Pakistan now Bangladesh is touring in India and they have two series. First is Test series which will be Starting today. After that they will play T20I series.
Bangladesh won the test series from Pakistan but this is India team so they are Very strong and I don't think so that Bangladesh will beat India team. This is cricket and we know that is unacceptable but still I am looking that India is much stronger as compare to Bangladesh team. So I think India will win both series. But this is too early to say this but we can guess. So let's see what India will do in this series.?

India started their poor performance by losing three wickets, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma were the top batsmen for this match. But they did not last long in the field for the tiger bowlers of Bangladesh, two batsmen of India team have formed a partnership at present. Jayswal and pant if this partnership can be dismissed by the tiger batsmen of Bangladesh team then surely there is a possibility that all the wickets of India team will fall in this first innings today. 
As the Indian team is under a lot of pressure after losing three wickets, so far the Indian team has lost three wickets for 50 runs. But the time has come for the Bangladesh team to give a suitable reply in today's match, because Bangladesh team did not win in the past games and there will be a possibility that Bangladesh team will win in today's test match.

India started with a poor batting performance in the first Test match against Bangladesh. The batting they are doing in today's match may soon turn them into an all out for Bangladesh. Indian team lost three wickets, experienced batsman Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were all out. These players did not start well in the opening. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma combined for a total of 12 runs with six runs each, and Shubman Gill was out for 0 runs. Right now Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are batting if they can form a partnership then good can collect a run and if they get out then India will definitely not score big today.

The batsmen of Bangladesh team need to perform a little better, because even though three wickets have fallen in the beginning, it is a positive aspect for Bangladesh team. Because the most aggressive batsman of the Indian team who collected all the wickets, Jaiswal entered the field as the opening batsman, he still remained and Pant formed a partnership with this player. Today Bangladesh team player Hasan Mahmood showed the most surprise as he collected three consecutive wickets.

So he can definitely break this current partnership if he improves his bowling performance with more focus, and the Bangladesh players can surprise the Indian team. If the current partnership of Jaiswal and Pant cannot be broken by the players of the Bangladesh team, then these two batsmen can be cut throat.

It is going to be a two-match series. I am watching a lot of people saying that Bangladesh might win one of the matches.
I understand they are saying this because Bangladesh was able to win against Pakistan recently.
But I think we should understand that the Pakistan team is not anywhere close when compared to India.
There was a time when the Pakistan team was one of the best in the world. But those days are long gone.
Now Pakistan is not as strong team. They even struggle against weaker opponents.
So just because Bangladesh was able to win the series against Pakistan, doesn’t mean Bangladesh is going to trouble India a lot.
I am saying this as a Bangladesh cricket fan, is most probably not going to win a single match against India,

and Shubman Gill was out for 0 runs. Right now Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are batting if they can form a partnership then good can collect a run and if they get out then India will definitely not score big today.

You know, In India most Ducks in 2024 was Jasprit Bumrah, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson. I can see many best players just sitting on the  bench like Ruturaj Gaikwad, where Gill is getting opportunities again n again to increase his Duck record lol, don't know why!!

Excellent first session so far, nice contest between bat and ball.

Discipline of Mahmud ensured success for the Bangbros and he bowled a long spell, it tells you about his fitness, very impressive because it's almost unheard as far as Bangladesh pace culture goes but feel Taskin and Nahid Rana looked rusty, Taskin did bowl some fine balls but he was quick to release the pressure. Their fielders also looked slow so far.

Jaiswal and Pant are doing a hard yard and could be dangerous as usual because both of them play their shots at will but right now their focus should go not out and have lunch.

I would say it was a good comeback from Jaiswal and Pant. Shadman dropped Pant in the first slip, and I feel like they have to pay the price of that drop catch because Pant is the batter who can change the game. Yeah, the fielder seems to have just woken up and does not understand what to do. If Bangladesh wants to compete against India, it should do well in all three departments.

If they do well ball and miss the catches, they won't be able to take wickets, and the batter who gets the chance will be dangerous for them. Hasan Mahmud was good with the ball. I am missing the guy Tanzim Sakib, the young pacer from Bangladesh. I hope all the pacers will be able to do something for the team.

Indian top order batting line collapsed under Hasan Mahmud's brilliant bowling and they lost 3 valuable wickets till the lunch break, including reliable batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. These three batsmen were very reliable in the team but they failed to show their best game. Earlier, Bangladesh team invited India to bat after winning the toss and they managed to use the two pacers very well. Rohit got out after 14 runs and Shubman Gill found his way to the pavilion after 28 runs and Virat Kohli got out after 34 runs which is a great success for the Bangladesh team.

Now it appears that Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto decision to bowl first seems very effective and they have completed a great spell.

The match has actually turned out to be interesting so far. India has scored 124 and has lost four wickets so far. Hassan Mahmud is absolutely running through the Indian batting lineup. He has picked up all of those four wickets. Jaiswal is still in the middle and that seems to be the only good thing for India right now. Kl Rahul has just come into the middle. So of course there is hope for them still.

If any team is able to put on a good total from this situation, it is India. As far as Bangladesh is concerned, they have started very well and I hope they will be able to continue performing well. The other bowlers of Bangladesh also have to contribute to the wicket column.

Good Luck

Sri Lanka did not start the second day well. Our estimate was that the Sri Lankan team would be able to collect around 350. But I didn't think that Sri Lanka would start the second day so badly. At the end of the first day, Sri Lanka's collection was 302 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. And Sri Lanka's innings stopped at 305 runs. Sri Lanka team lost three wickets by collecting only 3 runs. I don't find it too difficult to collect big on this pitch. So Sri Lanka should have collected one over 350.

New Zealand's two openers are batting very responsibly. New Zealand team has already collected 62 runs. And the Sri Lankan bowlers are yet to pick up a single wicket. Tom Latham scored 37 runs off 52 balls and Devon Conway scored 17 runs off 56 balls. The New Zealand team is now trailing by 243 runs. But the way New Zealand is batting, I think the New Zealand team can take a lead of at least 100 in the first innings.

[JSRAW]

Bit of worry in the Indian camp as Jaiswal goes. Nahid Rana also chipping in and hooping around, set up for Jaiswal was so good and executed nicely, Nahid kept testing his outside edge and finally got the reward.

Ahaa Rahul is a goner, now all responsibility is back to Jaddu-Ashwin. Bangbro ran through the Indian batting line up convincingly. Won't be an easy feat in such conditions but I won't mind a ton from Ashwin, it's been a while so why not?

To be honest, we are not seeing the kind of performance we thought we would see from India. Our prediction was that India will dominate and win their home match. Because India is always strong at home ground. On the other hand, the Bangladesh team is very weak in the Test format. So the match was more likely to be one-sided.

India cannot start well today. Against Hasan Mahmud, the experienced Indian batsmen could not survive at the crease. Among the first 4 batsmen, 4 wickets have been taken by Hasan Mahmud. Hasan took the wickets of Rohit, Kohli, Pant and Gill. Nahid also picked up the important wicket of Jaiswal. India has now collected 165 runs, and the team has lost 6 wickets. It is difficult for India to collect even 220 now.

Nice expectations you got there. Although you never know what tail-enders got up their sleeves in tests, I expect India to close around 250-'70 and kinda okay with it, because I want Bangladesh to take a good lead so we see a good contest in second innings.

Bangladesh won the captain's toss and took the fielding decision. The Bangladeshi bowlers started the innings well. India team lost three wickets to collect only 34 runs, experienced batsmen of the top order could not bat well. Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the dressing room with 56 runs and Rishab Pant 39 runs. And now at the crease. Aswin and Jadeja. India's current collection is 176/6. But both Ashwin and Jadeja have the ability to play big innings. So if the Bangladeshi bowlers can't bowl well and break this pair, I won't be surprised at all if India collect more than 350. We have seen many big innings from Jadeja in the past.

It's wishful thinking atm as seamers are charged up but Ash is not a typical tailender and it's not like he doesn't know how to hold a bat, he got 5 tons after all. Don't want to jinx it but he's timing well so maybe, just maybe lol

270-300 would be ideal and looks like a good first inning score on this deck, considering India are 6 down so they would take a 270-ish score but it's the last batting pair and then we have 3 genuine tailenders as we don't have Axar at number 9 and pitch is helping the bowlers, if their bowlers get one of Ash-Jaddu's wicket then they are in business.

Your guess is going to be right. Although India did not start the innings well, the team is now in a very good position. Jadeja and Ashwin are batting very responsibly today.

India lost the wicket of KL Rahul for 144 runs. And now India's collection is 224 runs. India team has already collected 80 runs from Ashwin-Jadeja pair. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 32 runs and Ashwin on 47 runs. Bangladeshi bowlers will have to try to break this pair quickly. Otherwise, India will collect big in the first innings itself. And in the current position India is in, it is not difficult for India to score 300 runs.

Although Sri Lanka's top order is not batting well, New Zealand's top order batsmen are batting well today. Sri Lanka scored 305 runs in their first innings. It cannot be called a big collection considering the condition of the pitch.

New Zealand lost their first wicket by 63 runs. Devon Conway was dismissed for 17 runs. New Zealand lost their second wicket for 136 runs. Tom Latham returned to the dressing room with 70 runs. And now Williamson and Rachin Ravindra are batting. Williamson is an experienced player and has already scored 41 runs. And the New Zealand team totaled 145 runs. However, the New Zealand team is still behind by 160 runs. But since the team has lost just two wickets, it is not impossible for New Zealand to collect 160 runs.

India lost wickets early in the innings. And I thought this team might not even score 200 runs. But now India's batting looks like the team will collect up to 350 easily. There is even a possibility of collecting around 400.

You are right that a collection close to 300 on this pitch can be called a good collection. Because the performance of the opponent Bangladesh's batsmen is very erratic. There is no way to say for sure whether the Bangladeshi batsmen will be able to collect big. However, the average score of the first innings of this pitch of Chennai is 347 runs. India is likely to muster more than 347.

[As-Soon-As]

The Indian team has so far scored 270 runs for six wickets. Currently India team is not able to protect their wickets, Bangladesh team Hasan Mahmud is seeing repeated wickets fall. Hasan Mahmood gave a very good bowling performance scoring 51 runs in 16 overs and picking up four wickets the best performance for today's match. India's last pair, two experienced players, Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin, have formed a partnership for a long time. If the Bangladeshi players can get these two out, there are no more reliable batsmen in the Indian squad, so only Hasan Mahmood and Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Shakib Al Hasan should be trusted to get these two batsmen out. Shakib Al Hasan is an experienced player but today he could not perform well in terms of bowling.

Oval win can be a turning point for the Sri Lankan cricket. And who knows? Despite the fact that they are facing huge challenges with domestic cricket, maybe they will be able to improve the quality of their game in the long run. Afterall, cricket in Sri Lanka is more than a hundred years old, unlike that in countries such as Afghanistan and Nepal. Anyway, this is just the first day. I am still not very sure whether Sri Lanka can win this test match. What if New Zealand comes back strongly tomorrow?

Maybe things will be gone good for the Sri Lankan cricket as now they are doing their best for the improvement but still they need to work on their domestic setup which is key for their success in this game they are having good history but sadly in last few years things are not going as they are famous and having record.

In this test match as we have good fightback from Sri Lanka things are looking favourable for them to stay at the driving seat for the better result their spinners are going to be key for them if they are going to win this match and taking lead into series as well.



For Sri Lankan teams success in this game is strongly depended on this 31 years old SLA orthodox spinner who is having good record at home and can bring success for the team with his quality bowling on surface like this which is having good turn.
