Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI

[eaLiTy]

Only India can create suspenseful matches from a match that looked like an easy win for India and thereby winning the series but they changed that expectation when they lost 6 wickets for just 35 runs and ended up in a tie and sharing the trophy with Bangladesh.

Bangladesh bowled really well after the 40th over and they pulled the match away from India, taking 3 wickets in the 47th and 48th over by giving away just a single run and somehow India managed with a tie, Bangladesh should have won with the way they performed in the end  .

Both the teams would be feeling that they should have won the match. First, the Indian team should not have left the match slipped away, and then Bangladesh come back in the match but could not score that 1 more run which would have given them the victory. A tough and thriller match for both the women's teams.

One thing which I am unable to understand is that Fargana Hoque from Bangladesh scored 107 runs but she was not awarded the player of the match. Instead, Harleen Deol from India who scored 77 runs in this match was selected as the Player of the match. Could not understand the logic for this decision???

Bangladesh Women team is improving, and this can be seen with their performance to draw against India with the score of 225 runs. India should've taken the match more seriously, recently similar thing happened in the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh match where Bangladesh took Afghanistan easier, but they performed well and won the ODI series. India Women team kept losing wickets, and the scoring is around the required margin and never went high. This could've been a win for India women team, because Jemimah Rodrigues was not out at 33* runs but the other side there was not support from the tail end. Anyhow this could be a happy moment for Bangladesh Women team, as they've levelled the series.

I am surprised that no one in this thread has condemned the objectionable behavior from Harmanpreet Kaur after the 3rd ODI match. After she got out, she smashed the wickets with her bat, and during the post-match ceremony made some pathetic comments about the umpiring. Indian women are happy when the umpiring decisions go their way, but behave like baboons when they go against them. And this has become a clear trend now. Women players are also behaving boorishly, like the men. One of the reasons why I don't want jokers like Kohli in the Indian team. His behavior is being copied by a lot of younger players on and off the field.

Ireland Women vs Australia Women, 2nd ODI Match Ireland Women decided to bowl the opening ball. Currently Australia women team is batting their batting performance is excellent today. Australia women's team is much stronger than Ireland women's team in the match. Although it is difficult to say which team will win today's match, the team that can perform well will have a chance. The Australian women batsmen had already lost a wicket which made it very difficult for their team and put Australia under pressure. Although the Australia women's team can produce good pairs later on, they certainly have enough wickets to increase the runs. at the moment Australia women's team has 22 runs and lost 1 wicket after finishing 5 overs, they seem to be doing well at the moment.

Thats true the players enjoy whenever the decision goes in their favour and makes unwanted statements when the decision is against them. This shouldn't have happened, but human error is unavoidable. Even the players makes mistakes, they should realise and act when they're in public. As said these can be seen much with men's cricket and the trend is taking a transition into the women's cricket. Players like Virat Kohli should be a role model, and his activities and attitude needs to change.

The first match of the series got cancelled without a ball being bowled. Second match of the series got over and Australia women team have made it a massive win. Being the strongest among the women teams, it is the expected result. As usual Australia Women team players Ellyse, Ashleigh and Mooney had awesome innings and the same helped Australia Women team reach the score 321/7. Following this Ireland women started the innings and ended scoring 168 runs with the top score coming from Amy Hunter(50 runs).

This is not the first time that someone from the Indian women's team is exhibiting this sort of behavior. Previously players like Shefali Varma and Deepti Sharma also behaved similarly on-field. And the biggest irony is that the Indian women's team can't be even compared to the men's team as far as performance is concerned. They are losing matches to weak teams like Bangladesh. And when showing off the attitude, they behave as if they are the world champions. I don't think parents in India want these cricketers to be the role models for their children.

It was discussed in another thread (ODI thread) tho.

I thought ICC will ignore or she'll get away with some match fees penalty but it's good to see that she's facing 2 match ban. It's a welcome and necessary move. At the same time, ICC should also watch out for umpiring quality in women's cricket, especially when there is no DRS system due to finance.

What happened to Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur?

Some over the top meltdown from her, was umpiring that bad throughout the match? She was going all gun blazing against the Umpires at post match ceremony. Quite an unprofessional attitude if you ask me, if there are some sort of problems then submit a formal complaint to the match referee. Perfect case for a couple of match ban.

Oh...  thanks for posting.

Umpiring decisions can go both ways. There were times when the Indian women benefitted from the same. But the opponents never made an issue out of it. From what I can see, the women's team members (as well as a lot of the junior Indian players) are getting influenced by the boorish behavior from Virat Kohli and his pack of monkeys. They know that ICC will not take any harsh action, since the BCCI is very powerful. Overall, it leaves a bad taste to those who are watching cricket. I watch cricket because I love the game. If I want to watch some soap drama, then I have other options available in cable TV.

Today's 1st T20 match of England Women vs Sri Lanka team has not been tossed yet due to rain delay. But if the rain ends in a short time in today's match then maybe it will be tossed. And if the rain doesn't end then today's match will not happen. But watch today's match  I am waiting for it. I don't know when today's match will start. I made a bet with my friend about which of the two teams will win today's match. If the match doesn't happen then I have to cancel the bet.

England won the match, but there was rain interruption. Batting first England made 186/4 from 17 overs. In women's cricket, run rates of 10 per over or more are very rare. But thanks to Alice Capsey and Danni Wyatt the England women managed to reach a huge total. Sri Lankan women got hammered all around the park (with the exception of Chamari Athapaththu and Kavisha Dilhari). And in return, Mahika Gaur and Charlie Dean picked up crucial wickets that meant that Sri Lanka was at a disadvantage when the DLS par score was calculated.

So England women also following footprints of there men's team by having high scoring rate. We have seen England men team always have high scoring rate whether its test, ODI or T20I.
Meanwhile we have a T20I match between South Africa and Pakistan women team. The match will be played at Karachi today. Pakistan women is not as good as there men team so SA women have more chances of winning today's game.

The 1st T20 match of Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women team has already started. Pakistan Women team has won the toss and decided to bowl. South Africa Women team batsmen have come out to bat now. They have scored 50 runs in 6.4 overs. South Africa Women team so far no  Did not lose a wicket. If the batsmen of South Africa Women team can play through the wicket then they can give a target of 160 runs in today's match. If South Africa Women team can give a target of 160 runs then they will have more chances to win this match. Pakistan Women team should perform well.

South Africa scored a total of 150 runs with the loss of 3 wickets which i thought was a decent total to defend against Pakistan, but i really underestimated the Pakistan Women's team as they usually struggle under pressure and the four run outs in this match was evident but then to win the match in the very last ball was incredible and South Africa leaked runs during crucial situation including a no ball and a well deserved victory for Pakistan.

After having won the first two T20 matches, they have again started strongly in this match and have scored 90 for one wicket down.
Look like they are looking for a clean sweep in this series.

This series can be a confidence booster for the Pakistan girls and it will help them to progress as a women's cricket team in the international arena. Currently, women's cricket is dominated by England and Indian girls. Other teams need to play better cricket in order to give those giant teams a big competition.

Pakistan Women's team is in good form scoring 113/2 in 15 overs. Already Pakistan Women team have won the 3 match T20 series and South Africa is in hard try to win atleast the last T20 match. Previous two matches were close ones, in the first match Pakistan Women team reached the target of 150 runs in the last ball of the innings. In the second match also Pakistan chased the target, and this is the first match Pakistan batting first. Lets see if South Africa Women's team can chase the target from Pakistan Women team.

Unlucky South Africa team have lost the match by 6 runs. Pakistan have set a target of 150 runs. South Africa had a good start as Wolvaardt scored 72 runs in 54 balls and lost her wicket. Further the team players weren't able to score big. In the last over South Africa requires 13 runs and Pakistan Women team was able to score just 6 runs. As the T20 series have come to an end, South Africa Women team gonna play ODI series. Maybe in the ODI South Africa can give better performance.

Laura Wolvaardt made 72 from 54 balls, but none of the other players could manage a score of more than 20. The South African women's team seems to be going in the same direction as of their men's team. This is concerning, because for a long time South Africa used to be the powerhouse of women's cricket. And this was a 3-match T20I series, which was swept by Pakistan by a margin of 3-0. Results were completely unexpected for South Africa. Now they have the 3-match ODI series remaining and it needs to be seen whether there will be an improvement in their performance.
