Women's T20? I personally have minimal interest here though I did watch them play earlier when my mom was watching the match and I observed many of these ladies dancing down the track against the spinners. They seem to love doing that.

Among the teams that you mentioned, I would root for Velocity even though they lost their key wicket.
LOL
I lost my bet yesterday. The team I picked they needed their opponent not to win by more than 25 runs margin. This was the equation for them to qualify. Unfortunately they exactly did that instead of playing cricket (winning the match).

I was like WTF! Why were not they playing shot while they could go for a win since they had wicket then in the screen I saw the calculation and realized my mistake. 
Hilarious. Just checked and observed that Velocity could have easily won this one since they had plenty of wickets. Weird. It seems that both teams will be facing each other once again in the finals. I would bet on Velocity.

Seems like everyone forgot about this topic because of IPL hit.

Anyway, let's wake it up :-D

Anyone watching this women t20 between Supernovas vs Velocity. I risked a small bet without knowing the team strength and sided for Velocity :-P

Now they seems lost their key wicket. And odd went up @4 for them :-D

It’s also pertinent to note that current Indian captain Virat, and Ex Captain Dhoni have changed their position for the benefit of the team.
Yes, the list is actually very long.

I am not a big fan when Virat change his position tbh. but for Dhoni its all good.

i would include Sachin along those list when he was made opener in 1994 and he made the biggest impact in the history of cricket as well as Sehwag being promoted as an opener in test, changed test cricket forever.

I intentionally didn't mention Sachin because he's in a  different class. and yes you are right about Sachin.

Actually like I mentioned before the list is very long so I only gave a short list of players.

Sometimes changing position can do wonder for player and Teams, no matter it's 20-20 or 5 days cricket. sharing a small list of the great top openers who used to play in the middle order and some of them even in the lower middle order.
Changing positions will produce greater impact without a doubt, but one thing you have to understand is that everyone who got promoted were aggressive players and they definitely made an impact on being promoted, i would include Sachin along those list when he was made opener in 1994 and he made the biggest impact in the history of cricket as well as Sehwag being promoted as an opener in test, changed test cricket forever.
Today we have packed day to be entertained by cricket.

Let's discuss about them.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka T20I here
South Africa should learn from there last T20. The lower order did not perform well which was nearly costing them to lose the match. I hope today they will get an easy win. They are way better team then current Sri Lanka team.

IPL two match today. We better discuss about them in here: [Now FREE to JOIN] IPL 2019 Prediction Pool and discussion
I have created this topic exclusively for IPL.

Australia vs Pakistan is in the usual topic of-course.

Cheers :-)

Changing position doesn't gives up much difference IMO. In short format a batsman lineup consisting of consistent players and a proper tune of aggressiveness is a key to a good lineup.

1. Sehwag
2. Jayasuriya (Debuted at number 5 then downgraded at number 7)
3. Mark Waugh (Started as a Middle-order batsman)
4. Chris Gayle (started as number 4 then dropped at number 7)
5. Justin langer
6. Rohit Sharma
7. Marven Attapattu ( He used to bat at number 9)
8. Adam Gilchrist ( Used to bat at number 7)

The team just need to find the right horse and its just a matter of time for every team.

Hey I’ll agree a team should change it’s order if required for the team to be balanced, of the list you have mentioned I remember Sehwag was not a opener but when he got a chance he killed it. Also I remember Jayasuriya and Adam, when they were promoted as openers they set the game on fire. It’s also pertinent to note that current Indian captain Virat, and Ex Captain Dhoni have changed their position for the benefit of the team.

Right now if I check the Srilankan team, I can only say that they have selected players which are not consistent and have some players who don't have a proper international experience.
The team is inexperience for sure. We get the same impression from Lasith Malinga

We tried our best, but at the end of the day we didn't get what we need. But I'm still really happy with how we did. I think 130 is not enough to win a T20 game, but using two spinners did work. But at the end of the day we couldn't get through. I'm used to these situations and conditions. Now I'm getting too old! (Laughs). I tried my best to show the youngsters how it's done, bowling the variations. I tried the variations in the Super Over, but it didn't happen, Miller batted really well. I always believe people can do something special. I got four wickets in four balls once, so something is always possible."

Even in the super over the batsmen failed them. They did not even goal for the run to chase I think. 5 runs in a super over sounds really disappointing even where the last ball needed 11 runs.
I think Srilankan batsman should change their position to have a better performance. Like as I earlier mentioned, their top order is so worst. Middle order is not so good too. If they re organize the team, they may have a better output.

Their batsmen need to do something soon if they wanna come back in this 20-20 series. they are not backing their bowling unit in this tour. a team can't expect their bowlers to perform in every match, time for some batsmen to stand up with bowlers now.

It was a good comeback from SL though and agreed SL batting line up keeps ruining the party again and again.

Sri Lanka is doing very well now a days in the death over bowling.

No one really thought that the match will be this close. I had some money risked for SA. I considered it win so in the middle I did not follow the match until the final few overs. It was stressful to watch again it was a joy to see Sri Lankan bowling.

I missed that super over, went to bed when south africa was about reached 70. after looking at the scorecard, it seems that chokers really want to lose that match but Srilanka in the super over messed it up.

What a T20 to enjoy!

No one thought that Sri Lanka will go this far. They restricted South Africa to go for a super over. South African middle order collapsed again like the test match.

Sri Lankan bowlers are really bowling well in pressure. It's their batsman who are failing them.


I am glad I was a part of the history.

Sri Lanka lost 5 wickets to score 89 runs after 14 over. They lost their first wicket without scoring any runs LOL

South Africa is going to have a very easy win if there were no drama.
Poor Srilanka. Srilanka need to organize their team. Whatever they have, they can play better. Their top order should be changed. They are perfoeming poorly. I see some new faces there or I missed in them in the last series?

Srilankan inning finished finally, they were struggling throughout the inning and they managed to put only 134 runs on the scoreboard.

Proteas is happy with their bowling effort. they need only one good partnership and they can reach the finish line easily.

Don't know if you guys noticed or not but interestingly Kamindu Mendis looked like a Dhawan when he was facing Imran Tahir  Grin
