T20/T20I match Prediction and Discussion

[JunaidAzizi]

Pressure? Run a ball required in T20 cricket, with 8 wickets in hand, what I see in T20 cricket usually is, if a team requires 90 runs in 30 balls, it's still called doable. How SL played was mockery of cricket.

Yeah, 90 runs on 30 balls is achievable in a T20 match; they can be easily chased. But cricket is not just about achieving the target; it's a matter of how a team plays and manages pressure. The SL team did not make an effective partnership; they felt pressure from the Indian bowlers, played stupid shots, and gave away their wickets quickly. Scoring 90 runs on 30 balls is easier said than done; in reality, it is something else. You need to recognize the bowlers' patterns, build a long-lasting partnership, and handle pressure. After all that, the chances of winning the match increase, but in the series, SL failed to maintain all these aspects.

Scoring 90 runs in 30 balls is definitely not easy but it is not impossible in T20 format. Though such play does not always appear. A batsman can't deliver such a devastating game if he wants. To get 90 off 30 balls a batsman needs to score 18 runs per over which is almost always not possible even by good batsmen. If 10 T20 matches are played there is such score chasing in one match. But usually it is not possible to overcome such scores and really difficult to expect something like this especially in international matches.

^ Yes, I was talking from franchise cricket POV, where such chases are frequently seen, but yes, much less in international matches.

Franchise cricket usually have pitches tailored for batters, so that also plays it's part such chases are frequently seen there.

SL W vs Ire W
Well does anyone watch that excited second match of the series between SiriLankan women and Irish women team. To be honest I was fully favoring SiriLankan team and believe that they will get that game just like previous one because of thier recent performance in asia cup against one of strong side Indian team but things goes beyond our expectations and some how we can say SiriLankan really underestimate Irish side that why they get dominance against them

Here the huge contribution from Irish side has been played by G.lewis through his magnificent century later thier bowling also done awesome by restricting SiriLankan team below the required and thus they level the series by 1-1 which is really shocking for me.

Today will be performance with Netherlands women team vs Papua New Guinea women team, here are the players of Netherlands women team who I think are stronger.  But any team can perform well at any time in the game of cricket only based on confidence. If the captain can control the batting and bowling performance at the right time then surely Netherlands women team can win. But the game of cricket is a game of uncertainty which can change anytime, so we have to wait till the game is over which team will win.

In international cricket team batsmen are approximately same category whose batting style doesn't change much. But with a franchise-based team having a mix of players from different countries, there is room for anyone to turn around. One or two batsmen can control the entire match. Again what you said is also important because in a franchise based cricket the area of ​​the ground is less due to which the batsmen get the advantage of cheesing any score easily which is not possible in international matches.

South Africa vs West Indies
South Africa were looking stronger to easily catch the west indies but surprisingly west indies beat them hardly but just like we know south Africa didn't take that series seriously and that's why they decided to give opportunity to young talent instead of his start XI player and that's why their performance were not upto the mark and push them a defeat.
Compared to them west indies has most of thier top class player so they does phenomenal job in very early first match of the series. But still plenty of matches left so south African will comeback stronger

WDYM with plenty matches left?

It was 3 match series, WI won two out of those already, so it's dusted for SA.

My bad I taught it's first match of the series that why I believe they will comeback stronger and show some handsome results but they already lose his first match and with that defeat they got punished by 2-0 lead now things may goes toward whitewash because it's raining in third match of the series and may be thier is high possibilities of match drawn results
So West Indies will get the series by 2-0 lead which is huge achievement for West Indies as they are really going with one of thier bad form of thier cricketing journey as most of thier top player prefer and perform for franchise cricket rather than international duty

The match Between the South Africa Vs West Indies already started after lots of drama I said drama because the match delayed before starting and after started it makes again delayed by the rain and now after dram rain drama the match is going on and currently the South Africa team batting and took 92 run after the 12 over and they have only 1 over to cross hundred in this match on DLS method(13overs).

Require runrate in under 8 so I will say that in this match there is a high chance of wining  West Indies  again.

Australia vs Scotland 1st T20

Not an ideal T20I debut for Jake Fraser McGurk. Head—Marsh destroyed Scottish bowlers, I mean I didn't expect much from Scotland in first place but thrashing they got from the aforementioned duo was next level.

I wasn't optimistic about what Scotland mustered, the score they were able to collect that wasn't low. But their bowlers were so expensive that the game would have been chased in a few overs if Jack Jarvis could have bowled a few more deliveries. He spent just 45 runs in 1.4 overs. Similar to his teammates Brad Wheal 39 in 2 overs. How much more obstruction can Scotland create in this situation against Australia? Hopefully they will improve a bit in the next match.

[libert19]

^ Scottish batting is still ok, they can do better but it's still doable but their bowling indeed sucks, except Mark Watt everyone went for plenty. I don't expect any different result in next two games either tbh, i mean it's Australia, and they have sent their veterans squad for some reason.

Australian vs Scottish
Well in second t20 match of the series as expected once again Australian beat them hardly with a big margin of 70+ runs, I taught once again head will be the main character in that victory but as soon as he got dismissed at golden duck, the next batter j.inglis smashed entire opponent bowling lineup and scored a phenomenal century and then rest of batters done decent too.
Well currently it's 2-0 lead but I am sure at the end of that series it will be 3-0 a white wash

Chasing down a big score of 194 will certainly be difficult for the Scottish against Australia as the opposite team. If the Scottish could have played the full 20 overs some runs would have been added especially if the big margins would have been reduced. Although they could bring back Head, Josh Inglis has filled the void. If he been brought back, Scotland might not have set such a big score. Australia will win every match in this series but if Scotland can score big against them it will be a big acheavement for them. But they don't seem to get that kind of opportunity.
