I don't see any reason to think the West Indies team is weak. At least the West Indies team cannot be called weak in the T20 format. They have several hard-hitting batsmen in their squad. They can change the scenario of the match at any time. India is doing well in this series as their bowlers are in great form. But it cannot be said with certainty that the bowlers will perform well in every match. There is nothing surprising if West Indies wins today's match.
West Indies always masters the T20 matches, but it has got the highest percentage of inconsistency in performance. It could chase a target of 200+ runs in a much easier way, and the following match it ends up its innings in less than 100 runs. The bowling is quite good, and now India have got the team in which if the bowlers weren't performing the batsmen takes responsibility and tries to make big scores. Some form of compensative game is being played and it is good.

West Indies has some really good big hits in power. And that is why they are always better in the T20 format. But that is also going to mean that they are not going to be consistent. Because they are always relying on their power and not a class. They can win matches with power against weaker opponents but they are not going to be able to win against good opponents with only power hitting. Because the good teams will figure out a way to counter that.

India VS Westindies
The fourth T20 match between these two teams will be played today. India already leading the series by winning 2 matches. If they win today's match then they will win the series. No doubt Indian has been batting brilliantly and are also getting the support of their bowlers. Westindies are still struggling on both ends. In my opinion to make this series intresting & engaging I hope Westindies win today's match.
A win from West Indies could make the upcoming matches so interesting, but the chances were low. I'm sure India will win the match, and the fourth match will be a winning match for West Indies, because they'll give their natural game. As the match isn't a decider anymore they'll play free and make great shots. Always West Indies wins when they play without thinking about win/loss.
Well, West Indies have one won one match in the series, so why can't they win another one ? I know that chances for this to happen are slim but anything may happen on a given day. Also, if West Indies win this match it will square up the series to 2-2 and the audience will have the interest to watch the final match. ICC also want the advertisers remain interested, don't they  Wink
Also, this is a big match for the west indies as it is being played at their home ground. They will never want to lose the series today in front of their own crowd.

If he keeps getting out cheaply then there may be some chance, having said that every team need at least 1 accumulator in the team and Virat is experienced candidate in this regard. Management also believe that they can build team around him, like keeping guys like SKY, Hardik, DK, Jadeja etc as they all are power hitters.

Chahal is front runner for Leggie spot and 99% chances are that he's going to play. Kuldeep was struggling with his form but he looks okay now, although i think he got injured recently that's why he didn't get any chance in recent series. Another exciting guy is Ravi Bishnoi but again hard to fit everyone

I don’t think building a team around Virat Kohli is going to be the most effective idea right now. He himself is not doing very well. And it is quite possible that he also fails in the T20 World Cup.

If anything, I think Virat Kohli should be in the team as an option who can be changed anytime.

I believe there was a statistic showing that whenever Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav played together in the Indian team, India did not have a high win percentage. But on the other hand, when Chahal was the only leg spinner in the team forming a partnership with another bowler like Ravindra Jadeja, India had more success.
May be you are right but right now management clearly not taking this line very seriously and they are more or less showing faith in Virat, it reflects in all media briefing.

At one time Chahal and Kuldeep were extremely successful together, they got their name "Kul-Cha" due to this. Indian bilateral record is very good, doesn't matter which combination they use but in ICC tournament almost every combination failed repeatedly.

Also after 2019 WC mindset has changed in white ball cricket. Almost all teams changed their tactics and started playing attacking cricket by batting deep. Atm no team can afford to play with big tail (4 number 11 batsmen), that's where likes of Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Axar Patel etc comes in.

South Africa vs Ireland, I had big expectation from Ireland and things didn't work. Ireland could've opted to bat first after winning the toss. The target of 182 from South Africa is good enough to win, and Parnell made a good bowling taking 5 wickets. 7 balls left and Ireland have scored 138 runs. Maybe it could've atleast reached close around 160 runs.

The problem with the Irish side is that they are very inconsistent. Sometimes they show a good chasing power and sometimes they perform like this. 182 is still a big score for Ireland and I am not expecting them to win soon. The good part is that they are gaining a lot of experience after playing with big teams like South Africa.

Netherland : New Zealand

New Zealand set a target of 149 runs in the first match. Today's Netherlands managed to set a target of 148 runs. In the previous match we have seen that the pitch is helpful to the bowling. And it is very difficult for the batsmen to score runs. So New Zealand won't win easily today. But if the opening pair can play well then there will be no problem for New Zealand to win the match.
It can be said that New Zealand won the match without any difficulty. Netherlands set a target of 147 runs there Bas de Leede scored 53 runs off 48 balls which is not suitable in the T20 format. As a result their collection was very small. New Zealand managed to win that match by fourteen overs.

New Zealand's batsmen are quite experienced. The bowlers should have improved their performance if they wanted to win against them. But they could not bowl as well as in the first match. As a result, the Netherlands was defeated. I didn't think the Netherlands would win. But I thought the match would be a bit more competitive. But we saw a completely one-sided match.

An easy win for New Zealand and they played so well specially in batting side. After losing 2 wickets early in the match, they came back strongly and had managed to win by 8 wickets and 6 overs in hand. In every match they are performing good whatever it balling side or batting side.
Newzealand were not playing against a big team. They were playing against Netherlands whom you do not see playing quiet often bilateral or trilateral series. They are still working on in building cricket in their country. Netherlands are know more for their soccer than cricket. It was expected they will lose their match against the Newzealand side.

New Zealand just crushed Netherlands in the last and the final T20 match. They chased 147 runs in just 14 overs. Thanks to captain Mitchell Santner who made 77 not out in just 42 balls. It was an easy and comfortable and much expected win for New Zealand team.
On the other hand, Netherlands did show some fight in the first T20 match but were looking completely helpless in this last T20 match. Obviously we can't compare the two teams in terms of experience.

Netherlands had a good squad around 10-20 years back. During the 2003 ODI world cup, they managed to bowl out India for a total of just 204 runs. They still lost the match by 68 runs. Back then they had some very good players such as Ryan ten Doeschate, Tim de Leede, Feiko Kloppenburg, Edgar Schiferli and Roland Lefebvre. But now their squad is mostly comprised of inexperienced youngsters. Some of them, such as Bas de Leede have performed quite well recently. But overall their standards have gone down.

It would be right to say, Suryakumar Yadav Indian's most flexible T20 hitter right now? After playing 22nd match Suryakumar take the second position at T20 ranking. Another revolution of Indian cricket, illustration of classic and aggressive batting. No doubt talented player, still he needs to demonstrate more. There are many expresses that with only one great inning, he received sky touching praises. He shouldn't really mind those discussions, however need more consistency to hold that status. If he played every match consistent then certainly he will be a dangerous player.
T20 cricket is very much uncertain, just an example for you to understand that if a batter perform in a given day their is no guarantee that he will perform to his best in the next match. Surya Kumar is a good batter but there is a lot of competition within the peer group. Rishab Panth, Shreyas Iyer and Hooda are also very good batters. You can not conclude to based on T20 ICC rankings. If he is unable to play or score for few matches he will then lose his position.

I agree with you. The Indian board now has a lot of talented players. And batsmen need to play better than bowlers in the T20 format. So if a batsman is not able to perform well in a few matches consistently then the management will definitely look for his alternative. Moreover, India now has many options. So if any player is not able to play consistently well then it is not possible to stay with the squad in the T20 format.
The Indian Cricket Board is much more active than the unique cricket board. The Indian Cricket Board knows how to value their team.For e India cricket has a very good cricket team.But this is the first time I have seen a world class player completely exhausted and that player is Virat Kohli.But his downfall was due to some of his mistakes.However, there are many good players in the Indian cricket team and because of this, India is the most advanced cricket team among the current teams.

Checked the scoreboard for the Netherlands vs New Zealand match, and decided not to watch. And it was the right decision. New Zealand won the match with 6 overs and 8 wickets to spare. There is simply no consistency in the performance of the Dutch players. Yesterday they bowled well, and today their bowlers failed without any exception. This time they tried to strengthen their squad by including expat players such as Vikramjit Singh, Shariz Ahmad and Teja Nidamannaru. But none of the experiments paid off.
Everything is a try. Whether it is Netherlands or some other team in the low order will surely try the possible ways to come up with a win. As they had a close fight in the first T20 the squad have been changed with the expat players, believing of some support from them. What they planned didn't happen and made New Zealand make a big win by 8 wickets and 6 overs left.

This is somewhat expected from a team like Netherlands. They should have done a lot better if they want to prove anything to the ICC and anybody else. And another thing I noticed is that they did try to make the squad stronger with some foreign players. But what’s the point?

If you don’t have your own players to play with, eventually you are not going to succeed in this game. And that experiment also did not pay off. New Zealand was supposed to whitewash the Netherlands this series and they did that quite comfortably.

Saw in news lately that Kholi is back from the vacations.
I think Kholi has lost his charm now. His time is over he must either try coaching or his career in Bollywood - he would do great there.
