Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

Finally, the West Indies team was all out for 356 runs, and the Bangladesh team came out to bat and currently scored only 45 runs and lost two wickets. I just took a small bet on the West Indies. currently, I have gots 1.4x odds. I don't think that if you place the bet at the end of today, you will get a good odds like  this, rather it may be 1.1 or something around this, because I think that at the very end of today, two more wickets of the Bangladesh team may fall so that the chances of West Indies winning will increase further and the odds will be very low.  

Oh no! I missed it because I didn't know the 2nd Test had started. You got 1.4 odds which wasn't bad but now it's down to 1.31x, I wonder what to do. Does anyone know what the odds were before this Test started?

Did you see Nayeem Hasan batting in the opening position before this Test? But they shouldn't have sent a lower order batsman to bat in the top order. Shadman Islam is injured so I don't know if he will be able to bat. Basically one batsman has to score a century and one batsman has to support, otherwise the result will be the same as the 1st Test.

West Indies crumbled quicker than I predicted but 356 is still a good start and Bangladesh didn't had a great start either. The game is still in favor of West Indies but if Bangladesh holds on tomorrow, they'll be back on the game.

On Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan, Zimbabwe did bat to 500+ but Afghanistan too have a good start with losing an early wicket but both of the player in crease have a half century. If the pitch is good for batting, it could be another long innings and the game would move towards a draw.

West Indies' first innings ended at 356 runs. I think it's a good collection on such a wicket. Bangladesh are batting so far in their first innings where they have lost three wickets and in return they have put 88 runs on the scoreboard. I wouldn't say that they will end the game by trailing West Indies by many runs in the first innings with the current state of Bangladesh's scoreboard. They need to make a good partnership at the moment, if a partnership of 100 plus runs is made for the third wicket then they can go close to West Indies and end the game in the first innings. But a common problem of Bangladesh is that they get more frustrated in moments of pressure, if West Indies bowlers can take more than one wicket in the first session at the beginning of tomorrow, Bangladesh may be all out before scoring 250 runs. Let's see how far Bangladesh's first innings collection goes in the end.

The odds before the match started were around 1.56 for Bangladesh and around 2.26 for West Indies, depending on the bookmaker. Since it is a home Test for Bangladesh, it makes sense they were the favorites considering their past history at home. But they have been struggling for the past few series, lost the first Test, and look likely to lose the second one as well.

It is highly unlikely you will see Shadman Islam come out to bat given his bad ankle injury from the wet outfield. They still have Mushfiqur Rahim at the crease, and he needs to score big if Bangladesh are to recover from this situation.

West Indies crumbled quicker than I predicted but 356 is still a good start and Bangladesh didn't had a great start either. The game is still in favor of West Indies but if Bangladesh holds on tomorrow, they'll be back on the game.

Bangladesh is now trail by 268 runs by the end of day 2. They have made 88 runs with the loss of 3 wickets which is a very bad start. T.Hridoy which is not out on 29 and M rahim on 19 present on the crease will continue their batting tomorrow. If we look at westindies batting they played very well especially A jangoo who made 133 runs. K. Wickham and J.greaves batted very well as they also score fifties. West Indies bowlers are looking in a good form and i think tomorrow they will easily take wickets of Bangladeshi team because Bangladeshi team look very weak in this series. So i dont think so that their batters will make a partnership on 5th wicket because already their top 3 batsman are out. Westindies are leading this series by 1 match win and i think that they will also win the second test match and also this series.

Zimbabwe team has batted exceptionally well in their first innings in their Test match against Afghanistan, they have put in a very patient batting performance which is indicative of their victory. Zimbabwe team's batsmen Brian Bennett scored 128 runs and Brendan Taylor scored 131 runs. Apart from that, other batsmen have also batted brilliantly, today Zimbabwe team has achieved a big target of 504 runs which can be very difficult for Afghanistan to meet. Afghanistan team also has quite good batsmen if Zimbabwe team's bowling line is not good then the chances of winning will be reduced. The way Afghanistan team is batting, there is a lot of possibility of winning, Afghanistan has lost only one wicket, Rahmanullah and Sediqullah Atal have made a great partnership. If Zimbabwe team cannot break this partnership then they can score even bigger goals, Afghanistan team can meet their target only by collecting 391 runs.

Bangladesh's start is like this because cricket fans know that Bangladesh cannot perform well in Tests. And we cricket fans also know that Bangladesh will lose in the second Test. Bangladesh has lost three wickets for 88 runs so far and may be all out in the first session tomorrow. So we do not have any positive expectations about Bangladesh at the moment.

However, the Zimbabwe-Afghanistan match will be a mountain of runs. Because Zimbabwe has been all out after collecting over 500 runs, Afghanistan will want to take the lead in runs. So in this case, if there are two innings, the score can be over a thousand runs. The match will definitely be a draw.

[Bluedrem]

The way the West Indies batsmen dominated the first day of the match, it seemed that they were going to set a big target against Bangladesh in the first innings, but the second day did not go well for them at all, due to which they were all out for 356 runs. I would like to appreciate Hasan Mahmud among the Bangladesh bowlers because he alone took 6 wickets for West Indies. However, as usual, the Bangladesh batsmen did not perform well either. Bangladesh lost 3 wickets early and they could only score 88 runs. I think if Bangladesh cannot bat well in the first innings, they will be defeated like in the previous match.

Bangladesh has lost 3 wickets today and scored 88 runs until now. I was also expecting a low odds for West Indies victory based on the current scoreboard. But now the odds is around 1.70× for WI victory in different sportsbooks. Have you placed your bet on '1×2' market or 'draw no bet' market? I just placed a bet on WI victory at '1×2' betting market. The odds is quite good for WI now.

As I said before the end of this innings, the Zimbabwean batsmen will score 500 runs, which they have worked hard for. The Zimbabwean batsmen played with a lot of effort because they wanted to victory this match and they made a lot of changes for it, that is why they looked stronger than Afghanistan in this match. If the Afghanistan bowlers had played with hard work and determination, the Zimbabwean batsmen would not have increased the target much and there was also some poor effort on their part, which was due to their bowlers not being able to stop the runs, due to which they got a target of 501. Now the Afghanistan batsmen are also effort to achieve this target, but for this they will need more days. And this can also lead to a draw and this can be a very bad thing for Zimbabwe, so this match will have to be decided in the form of victory or defeat.

Currently, West Indies has dominated Bangladesh by 1-0 in this tour of Bangladesh. According to conditions West Indies is showing very brilliant cricket because West Indies pitches show bounce and swing but in Asian conditions, the spin bowling attack remains more effective. The first Test game was also won by WI, showing their strategy in Asian conditions because they won the game just with the help of spinners. The second test was also a very interesting game because WI batters showed their class in a very good way because they made plans against spinners. At the end of day one WI scored 235 runs and Amir Jangoo, is the new batting star for WI because he performs everywhere in the world.

WI are better on the surface and could prove to be a formidable team in Ban having set the pace with a 1 0 win. Their ability to for example, adjust their strategy in Asian condition  as they did in the first Test with the help of their spinners, was a better sign. The second Test has also been a har fought one with the WI batsmen remaining patient and finding some solutions for the bowlers. A decent base for the remainder of the game after they completed the first day on 235 runs. Amir is also emerging as a valuable player for the WI and his versatility in various situations makes him an important asset to the team. Ban will have to dismantle these partnerships at an early stage and involve their spinners in the game. The rest of the days may be quite thrilling if ban can put pressure on the West Indies batting line up.

But now the odds is around 1.70× for WI victory in different sportsbooks. Have you placed your bet on '1×2' market or 'draw no bet' market? I just placed a bet on WI victory at '1×2' betting market. The odds is quite good for WI now.

Unpredictable Bangladesh is heading for another defeat in test matches, with it going to be the worst for them because they are playing at home, but their performance is not on course for having anything positive after winning the test against Australia. Hopes were high for them to have better performance in this format, but they completely fail to deliver. Bowlers are doing better, but batting is not on a good level.

The third day's first session will be decided about the match. If they are able to hold on and have not enough loss, they could be able to go through for having a good total on board, but in case of not having good performance, it's going to be a big defeat and surely a big setback for them. West Indian performance is also always unpredictable, but now they are improving and having good results, which is a good sign for their cricket in the long run.

The second day of the match has ended. Bangladesh Cricket team has lost earlier wickets and struggling to score. No strong partnership, if the players on the stumps stand good partnership, automatically scoring takes a better turn. I mention this as Bangladesh Cricket team is playing the match in home ground. For this reason the betting odds weren't placed on a much higher difference on the betting platforms. The third day's game will give a clear picture on the direction over which the match is heading.

Bangbros losing their marbles against windies, again.

If it wasn't for Hridoy's lone warrior maiden ton, it would've been shutter down for them already. They surely seems to be ran out of carrots when up against carribbeans.

[Bd officer]

Hridoy has scored his first century in international Test cricket. Although he did not perform well in the first two Tests, the selectors had faith in him and he repaid that faith in this Test. Now Taijul should support Hridoy and Hridoy should also continue to bat responsibly.

Anyway, BCB has changed the batting coach but I do not see any improvement in the batsmen, they are batting as bad as before.
ban: 205/7

It always happens to me that Bangladesh performed poorly in the first match and as such I expected them to do poorly in this match as well and even took a bet but looking at the state of the match now it seems like I have to lose. I never really expected Bangladesh to cross 300 runs. Did you bet anyway?
After seeing the current situation on the match, my gut feelings are saying this match will make the end by a draw. But yes, for the match to be a draw here, the West Indies team will have to get the same score as in the first match in this second innings, otherwise if they get all out with a few runs, then the Bangladesh team can win.

Anyway, what a show from Towhid Hridoy. I was expecting his wickets when Musfiqur Rahim got out but he survived even the rest of the batters got out. And he became the 4th double centurion from Bangladesh.

[Mahdirakib]

If it wasn't for Hridoy's lone warrior maiden ton, it would've been shutter down for them already. They surely seems to be ran out of carrots when up against carribbeans.

Towhid Hridoy has changed the momentum of the match alone. Bangladesh has ended their first innings with a lead of 30 runs for his extraordinary batting performance. It was completely unexpected and I believe no one imagined it.

~snip~

Yeah, I had placed a bet on WI yesterday. I'm still thinking to place another bet on them now. The odds is around 4.00× now for WI victory. Bangladesh would have gotten all out a lot earlier without the unexpected batting performance of Towhid Hridoy. WI might give a decent target to Bangladesh. And the overall batting performance of Bangladesh isn’t really good. I'm still considering WI as favourite to win the match.

Both teams are on the same level and both team are fighting good in this match. No team was dominant in the any inning and we are enjoying the match. Tawhid Hridoy was a one man army in this match and he made 242 which was a very big score out of 386 and all team made 144 runs in this match. Jangoo was a person who made century in this match and now both teams have time to accelerate in the second inning. Two days are remaining and both teams have to play well to win this match and there was will be good mat match as both are strong teams. West Indies is leading in this match and Bangladesh have to give their all effort to restrict WI team on just 200 runs as if West Indies made a good target then there could be reverse condition.

This inning was amazing, when i posted he was at 103ish and they were 7 down so team wasn't out of jail.

From here he went to add 140 odd more runs to his tally while batting with tail, this was a highlight for me. Farming strike with tailenders and batting for so long requires game awareness, ofc windies were filthy against tail but props to tail as well.

To be honest, I did not expect as much as Bangladesh batsman Towhid Hridoy did today. Especially when he stood on one side and watched the next batsmen get out, the performance he showed today by keeping the nerves aside and basically holding the strike with the batsmen at the end was really great. I think if any of these batsmen, Nazmul Hasan Shanto, Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Tanjid Hasan, could have scored a big run in the first innings, Bangladesh could have scored a big run in the first innings. Look, where the team's total was 386 runs after losing all the wickets, Towhid Hridoy alone scored 242 runs, that is, after deducting the additional 12 runs, the remaining batsmen were able to collect only 132 runs. However, I want to praise Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed. They faced the West Indies bowlers in a great way towards the end and were unbeaten at the crease, which is why Towhid Hridoy was able to survive this long. However, in the end, no West Indies bowler could get him out and he remained unbeaten on 242 runs. If Bangladesh can really get a good result in this match, then the credit for that will definitely go to Towhid Hridoy. However, Hasan Mahmud and the team performed brilliantly yesterday. He alone took 6 wickets for West Indies. Let's see how many runs the West Indies batsmen can score when the game starts tomorrow.
