^^ Pandaya was in focus for fair amount of time even in covid situation, i don't remember if he appeared against England in the last T-20 home series but he had enough time to regain his form with the bat and strength during IPL and he looked okay there but he keep failing in international arena continuously. Despite all this some fans still think that he's next Kapil dev Grin

.

Time has come to drop Hardik Pandya. In the ODI series, he managed to score just 19 runs, and picked up just two wickets in two matches. Why there should be a regular slot for him, when talented players such as Devdutt Padikkal are not getting an opportunity to represent India? India failed to manage a good total yesterday and won only because of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. It was a surface that was conductive to batting, and still the Sri Lankan batsmen failed to get going. Yuzvendra Chahal was also impressive, as he conceded just 19 runs from his 24 balls (and picked up the wicket of Dhananjaya de Silva).

In ODI there might be some possibility but in T-20 format i don't think if anyone even think about dropping him. I do like his batting style and guess we all can agree that he's one of the destructive hitter in the T-20 arena but most of time he fails to perform according to his reputation, still management has huge hope on him for the right reasons because he's genuine match winner with the bat. Although i'm not fan of his bowling and i would be very happy if his selection in the team is based on batting instead of half baked all rounder theory and if he can give few overs then its a plus as part timer bowler.

I was expecting 190+ score when India opted to bat, had a bet which i lost.

Pandya doesn't seems same batter to me anymore, he looks quite vulnerable nowadays. He's even not performing with the bowling, well no one expected that much from him anyway. Lankans has a fine chance of winnig this game if they can hold their opening wickets.

India could have scored more than 190 runs if Prithvi Shaw had not lost his wicket at the start of the match. Still, India should have scored more than 175 runs. Their team has aggressive players like Padya and Samson. Those who perform tremendously in the IPL. 164 runs is not enough to win a T20 match. Indian bowlers need to bowl well today.

164 is an average score. This is an easy chasing score. However the bad performance from Sri Lanka have given a win to India. India need to improve its performance on both batting and bowling, whereas Sri Lanka needs a very big improvement. When this score can't be chased, then it'll completely make the fans and people of Sri Lanka have a a hatred over the team.

With the start they had they should have score well above 180 runs but they struggled once again in the middle over where they lost wickets is succession and affected the momentum but that score was more than enough for India to win. I wonder what would be the situation of Sri Lanka if their top bowlers are back in the team.

Hardik Pandya is back in the team after the long time and may be he is not fully fit or lost touch, he needs to play warm up or domestic matches to return to form.

What an outstanding performance by Bangladeshi Batsmen. This team is too much unpredictable. Although Zimbabwe's bowling lineup is weak, I never imagined Bangladesh could win by batting for 194 runs. Because if the Bangladesh team goes to bat for too many runs, their top order batsmen get out very quickly. I'm used to seeing that. Young players Shamim Hossain and Soumya Sarker played great.

Both Sarkar and Shamim played crucial roles in the chasing of a series victory. Shamim came to bat under pressure and completely destroyed Zimbabwe. Shamim Hossain finishes off with style! But the way Soumya Sarker batted and bowled here may turn out to be the blessing for Bangladesh in T-20 series.

It seems that Bangladesh has got a suitable finisher batsman for T20 format. Shamim Hossain's performance and playstyle fascinated me. He is talented enough and a very aggressive batsmen. And he’s good enough as a fielder as well. On the other hand, Soumya Sarker is in good form now. If the top order batsmen perform well, winning the match becomes easier.

Shamim Hossain has done the main job for the win of Bangladesh. As an youngster and a middle order batsman his performance was outstanding. Where, Soumya is an experienced and opening batsman. So, it was the responsibility for Soumya to play an innings like this. Zimbabwe had given a big target and Bangladesh is not familiar to chase a big score like this in T20 game. However, Bangladesh has managed to win the match and series too.

You cannot complain the bowlers, the pitch was not giving any assistance and you cannot expect any wonders from a flat pitch made for batsman, Zimbabwe scored 193 runs and the Bangladesh bowlers were at the receiving end and you could only slow down the run score by mixing up slower deliveries and i thought Zimbabwe would win the match because Bangladesh lost the earlier match with a much lower score to chase but Bangladesh played well in this match chasing a huge total.

I understand that the pitch was offering hardly any support for the bowlers. But the way Zimbabweans bowled as appalling. I was watching the match live, and I was horrified when Wellington Masakadza gave away that wide, which went for a boundary. Then the captain made a mistake by not asking Blessing Muzarabani to bowl earlier. The Zimbabweans gave away too many wasteful runs. For them, this was a golden opportunity to get a series win. Now they need to wait for a couple of years to get another chance.

Have Fun )@@( Stay Safe

Prithvi Shaw went for a golden duck and it is sad to see that he is struggling against swinging deliveries at the start of the innings, hopefully Sanju Samson will make use of this opportunity and make a huge impact so that he gets a place in the upcoming T20I World Cup squad because the competition is getting tough as there are many talents waiting for a chance to perform and my bet is on India to win.

Another high scoring match, and winning opportunity for the Zimbabwe in the T20 series. Bangladesh always trouble to chase a big total, they were lost second T20 in the same way. Looks like BAN won't repeat the same story, very close to defeat the total.

BAN 181/4, Bangladesh need 13 runs in 12 balls!

Pathetic performance from the Zimbabwe bowlers. Now Bangladesh need just 7 runs in 9 balls. Once again poor captaincy from Zimbabwe. Similar to what happened in the first T20 match, their best bowler was brought in after it was all over. If he had bowled the 18th over instead of Dion Myers, then Zimbabwe had a chance. Myers conceded 15 runs from his over and destroyed the chances of Zimbabwe with that. Blessing Muzarabani picked up a wicket (Mahmudullah) in the 19th over, but by now it is all over.

Bangladesh won the series and it was not convincing as per my views. They were struggling but as I said earlier Zimbabwe is an ameature team, considering they were playing with a professional team like Bangladesh. Bangladesh needs to work hard on their bowling and fielding, If not then they will become a team like SA and SL.

Another interesting game today between SL and IND. I am eagerly awaiting to see, how this Indian B team performs against the SL A team. This will be a good contest considering the upcoming T20 Worldcup.

Today is the last match of this T20 series and the decider, Zimbabwe has scored 193/5 in 20 overs. I would consider it to be a good score considering Zimbabwe's batting. The highest scorer for Zimbabwe was Wesley Madhevere, he scored 54. I do not think it will be difficult for Bangladesh to chase this target. At the moment they are comfortably batting at 15/0.

This is perhaps the best performance by Zimbabwe in the series so far. And this time, they were not overdependent on any one batsmen. Almost everyone contributed, including Wessley Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Regis Chakabva, Dion Myers and Ryan Burl. And they started well with the bowling, as the ever reliable Blessing Muzarabani once again picked up a wicket in his very first over. The required run rate is now more than 10 runs per over. This is a golden chance for Zimbabwe to get a rare series win against one of the full member nations.

Losing the second T20 match against a team that hardly gets a chance to play international cricket can be very demoralising. Indeed Zimbabwe was in control of the match from the beginning and it can be possible that they repeat the same performance in the third T20 match. It would be interesting to watch the last match as it would be the decider for the series.

I wouldn't say that Zimbabwe hardly gets chance to play international cricket. They are part of the ODI World Cup Super League, and therefore they are assured of 24 ODI matches this cycle. T20 matches are normally included along with the ODI tours. However, in test cricket they play fewer matches because they are not a part of the first division. On top of that, their players such as Blessing Muzarabani have taken part in county cricket recently.
Brendan Taylor has represented a number of franchises, apart from representing Nottinghamshire in county cricket.

My comparison was with Bangladesh. The number of games Bangladesh plays with A list teams if we compare it with the number of games Zimbabwe plays then Bangladesh will have the upper hand. I always felt that the Zimbabwe team lacks experience, they have good players who lack a lot of international exposure. If they are allowed to play more matches with A teams, they will gain more experience and improve their overall performance. Since countries like Zimbabwe do not generate a lot of revenue for ICC therefore they are left behind.

Well upsets do happen and they are more often in the T20 matches. If does not matter if a weaker team win a match in a competition / series. A weaker team can show good performance on a given day and it could be a bad day for the stronger team like Bangladesh. The problem only arises if the weaker teams wins the series which is unlikely to happen here.

We have already discussed about this multiple times over the past few years. The problem with Zimbabwe is not that they lack talent. The real issue is that the skilled players don't remain in the team for long, due to political uncertainty and low wages. Historically, the Zimbabwe team has been dependent on the white players, although the population of whites in that country has fallen from 200,000 to 30,000 in the last three decades. Even now, they are over-dependent on players such as Brendan Taylor, Ryan Burl and Sean Williams. Now it needs to be seen whether these people have a real commitment towards a country, that has almost exterminated their ethnic group.

There are enough black players in the domestic tournaments, but these tournaments don't have the required quality. Especially in the batting department, Zimbabwe has struggled to groom enough black players. Trevor Madondo was the first quality black Zimbabwean batsmen, but unfortunately he passed away in 2001 at the age of 24. Then Tatenda Taibu impressed a lot of people with his batting skills. But he retired at the age of 29, when his form was at his peak. The reason given was that he considered cricket as against his Christian faith.
