Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[libert19]

India will probably win but by an innings is just exaggeration, I don't think Bangladesh won't go without putting their fight especially after winning 2 matches against Pak cause their confidence will be high and they also got decent batting unit and all they need to do play for their advantages. And predicting the result of a test match at the end of day 1 itself is just being too desperate, the beauty of the game is it can turn around at any moment especially if it goes to day 4 and 5.

92/6 : You were saying? You do realise that India is a completely different beast when compared to Pakistan especially on their turf, don't you? Also, they have Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja in their ranks.

Expecting Bangladesh to not lose by an innings in this match would actually be an understatement. Think!

You can say that looking at Bangladesh's batting performance but when India were down 144-6, one would expect Bangladesh to give a good contest, it just looks like Jadeja—Ashwin partnership destroyed them psychologically and then there was Indian bowling attack.

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.  And in this innings also India will give a good and tough target and after that Bangladesh will lose the match completely and this first match itself is leading Bangladesh to defeat.  Now let's see how much target India gives and this time Bangladesh can achieve the target and defeat.

Bangladesh were basically defeated by the batting of Jaddu and Ash especially when the Bangladesh bowling lost six wickets for 144 runs in the first innings just as Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin took complete control of the match.
If Bangladesh could have had someone like Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin take charge of the match in their first innings, maybe the match would have been a competition if a big partnership had been formed. Now the match is completely under India's control and the chances of Bangladesh defeat are 100%.

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.

After Oshin and Jadeja's excellent batting, India came back into the game and lost all wickets for 376 runs. Later, Bangladesh were all out for just 149 runs in their first innings. They risked follow on but India did not let them down. India decided to bat again and managed to score 81 runs after losing 3 wickets at the end of the day. So far they are lead by 308 runs compared to Bangladesh. Looks like India will win by a huge margin and there are still 3 more days to go and if they play the whole day tomorrow they will big score. India still have 7 wickets in hand and hope they can win by a big margin.

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.

This time they were up against a quality and experienced bowling lineup.

In the past, Ash-Jaddu and the Indian lower order already played these sorts of innings so many times and bailed out a team from the ditches.

We must remember that Jaddu-Ash are 7-8 number batters and have 10 tons and 35 half-centuries under their belt. It would be hard to believe but 90% of their runs came when the top order saw a collapse.

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.  And in this innings also India will give a good and tough target and after that Bangladesh will lose the match completely and this first match itself is leading Bangladesh to defeat.  Now let's see how much target India gives and this time Bangladesh can achieve the target and defeat.

In the first innings of the first test match between Bangladesh and India the Bangladeshi bowlers were sitting on the Indian batsmen from the very beginning. Then, by handling the situation, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin knocked Bangladesh completely out of the match. Basically based on the batting performance of these two batsmen, India managed to score over 300 runs. When Bangladesh came to bat in their first innings after India were all out, we saw the Bangladesh team take wickets one after the other as a result of which they ended their first innings with just 149 runs.

India started their second innings again today, like the first innings, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma failed today. In the second innings, India scored 81 runs for three wickets. The few runs that the Indian batsmen will collect now will create pressure for Bangladesh as they have already set a huge target for Bangladesh Which is increasing with time.

[noormcs5]

Tomorrow the first session is very important for both teams. If Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were able to carry on their innings, India will cross 400 runs and it means they will be on top of the match.

Ravichandran Ashwin's century is key to the match's outcome. The partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin saved India from a tough situation early stage of the match. If they keep it going tomorrow, the first innings target could become very challenging for Bangladesh. I already see India in the top spot.

Indians are well placed in the second innings but the Indian team has lost their back bone once again today as in the last innings, their back bone Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma has not made good score so today once again history has repeated and Virat Kohli out without making any high scores.
 
He made just 17 while Rohit Sharma even has not made this and he was out on 5. Rohit Sharma is very disappointed with his own performance. After the World Cup, team India's performance is going down instead of going up. Rohit Sharma lost his wicket to Taskin Ahmed. Let’s see what interesting things we will see on day three of this match.

[As-Soon-As]

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were dismissed very easily in the first innings of the Indian team. But they got out in the second innings but Shubman Gill is still there, India team will perform well in this second innings as well. Because the players of Bangladesh team lost all wickets of 149 runs it is very funny, Test match usually has to perform for a long time but Bangladesh team failed in that area. 

All the players in the squad of Bangladesh team are basically not eligible for Test matches, as they have similar performances in T20Is, ODI, and Test matches. So it is foolish to ever compare such a failed player with a strong team, so far India has given a lead of 308 runs. I think that the Bangladesh team will fail to meet the current target of Iran, because the performance of the Bangladesh team is very weak.

A collapsed from Bangladesh batting side cost them lot in this test match as they all out on 149 and India batted again lose 3 wickets on 81 now day 2 ends. I think India is in very strong position to win 1st test and hope soo its result is announced on day 4. India is good in all 3 formats and dominate Bangladesh from the 1st ball

India will probably win but by an innings is just exaggeration, I don't think Bangladesh won't go without putting their fight especially after winning 2 matches against Pak cause their confidence will be high and they also got decent batting unit and all they need to do play for their advantages.

92/6 : You were saying? You do realise that India is a completely different beast when compared to Pakistan especially on their turf, don't you? Also, they have Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja in their ranks.

Expecting Bangladesh to not lose by an innings in this match would actually be an understatement. Think!

Well, they didn't lose by an innings as I said, so you were wrong here.

An innings win would've been nice if India had been batting second, but I want India to bat again. The Indian top order could use some game time and they need it badly.

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.

[ZAINmalik75]

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.

It was a decent target according to SiriLankan team because in his recent matches they are really off track so it will took time them to take them back on right track. K.medis scored handsome and through his century SiriLankan get confidence and through rest of player contribution they scored 300+ while on the other hand new Zealand took a good start and chased the required without any trouble but the things is they failed to add a decent lead so that SiriLankan will be under pressure but unfortunately just a lead of 30 around runs they lose their entire wickets and now it's last chance for SiriLankan to scorer high as much as possible because that will be the final target to Chase for new Zealand so currently they four wicket by scoring 200+ hope if they played entire day 4 before lose his last wicket then definitely things will goes in thier favor or just toward drawn results.

[Sithara007]

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. BTW, Akash Deep made maximum use out of the opportunity given to him. He was given only 5 overs, but within it he picked up two important wickets (those of Mominul Haque and Zakir Hasan). 

[Rabata]

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were dismissed very easily in the first innings of the Indian team. But they got out in the second innings but Shubman Gill is still there, India team will perform well in this second innings as well.

I think that the Bangladesh team will fail to meet the current target of Iran, because the performance of the Bangladesh team is very weak.

Bangladesh team is not a big opponent for India team and this team can be included in the list of unpredictable teams. They can beat big teams at their home ground. Countries like India or Australia may lose against Bangladesh but sadly they cannot perform very well in others ground.

In the first innings of the first Test, Bangladesh team was able to inflict major attract on the Indian team but the Indian team was able to resist. If Bangladesh team could have shown good batting skills then they could have been ahead in this match but in the end they completely failed to do that. Bangladesh team started batting and they fell all the wickets. With this performance, it is almost certain that they will not be able to create any resistance against India. The players in the Bangladesh team do not have the qualifications needed to play Tests cricket at the moment. Without this qualification, they have no ability to compete with the Indian team.

Bangladesh's batting line up was very poor as they lost all their wickets at 149 scores. In the start, the Bangladesh team was good bowling and looking to win the game but later Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja played a long innings of many runs for the Indian team.

Then the Indian bowlers took all wickets of the Bangladeshi batsmen well under 200 runs. Jasprit Bumrah was looking tough against Bangladesh as he picked four wickets and became a nightmare for their batsmen. When he came to bowl, the batsmen were confused due to Bumrah’s master swing and yorkers. Now India came to bat again and at the end of the day India is on 81/3.

I think the Sri Lanka team could pick very good lead from here. Today is day three that has passed and two days are still left, Sri Lanka is leading the score by 202 runs that is too high and I think if Sri Lanka will bat tomorrow for more than half day then they could stand a very big target and may win this game.
In the last innings, when New Zealand was batting, they made 340 so this time, Sri Lanka must have to declare the innings after taking the lead of around 400 or at least 360 (If they have believe in their bowlers.)

I am not at all surprised by Bangladesh's performance. Firstly the Bangladeshi bowlers were able to bowl very well in the beginning. None of us thought that India would be able to score a massive 376 runs in their first innings. Jadeja and Ashwin's brilliant batting led India to a massive total of 376.

Bangladesh's batting order is very weak. And their performance is very erratic. This is nothing new. And we're used to seeing that. I was surprised to see the good performance of Bangladeshi players against Pakistan.

However, Bangladesh mustered only 149 runs. And India scored 81 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the second innings. India is now ahead of Bangladesh by 308 runs. India will probably set a target of around 500 in this match.

[Out of mind]

The Bangladesh team started their first innings very badly, they could not hold on to the opening due to which they were all out for 149 runs. Every batsman in today's match had worst batting due to which they got out early against India. Bumrah bowled a great bowling line for India and put Bangladesh under pressure from the start, which resulted in Bangladesh getting all out. 
India came back into bat on the second day and managed to build a lead of 308 runs with the loss of three wickets, but I think they would have made a bigger score.

[Haunebu]

Looks like India will probably end up declaring at around 400+ runs and proceed to decimate the visitors by a huge margin as expected. This series is just helping India get closer to the WTC final basically.

Well, they didn't lose by an innings as I said, so you were wrong here.

Yeah. You are technically correct since I did not expect the Indians to not enforce the follow on probably to help their bowlers or just give Bangladesh a bigger target.
