West Indies batting in the first innings of India vs West Indies third T20 match. West Indies put in a great batting performance and scored 159 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. In the T20 matches, West Indies batsmen perform well, we have seen it in the previous two matches as well. While West Indies won brilliantly against India, West Indies are likely to win the third T20 today. India have lost the first two matches due to which they are under a lot of pressure as India must score 160 runs to win today's match. But if the Indian batsmen perform as badly as in the previous two matches, India will definitely lose today and the match against the West Indies. If India don't put up a disappointing batting performance like before, if they can improve their batting then it is definitely possible to win. So if India has to win today's match then they must perform well otherwise if they lose this match they will surely lose the series.
India team performance was good in the last match as everyone was expecting this. West Indies made almost same target as previous match. But in the last match fortunately West Indies won the match but in this match India showed its power. And there is 2 matches left of this series if India will win these 2 matches than Indian will win the series. And now the series is scoring at 2-1.

Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya batted responsibly from No. 4 and No. 5 respectively. They will try to maintain this consistency in the next match as well.
Hardik Pandya denied a well deserved half century of Tilak Varma when he smashed the ball for a six, he should have given Tilak Varma the chance to score his half century as he is a youngster and give him the opportunity to score the winning run and thereby reaching his milestone of half century and instead he wanted to go for a six and finish the match, so never say it was a responsible batting from Hardik Pandya Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya batted responsibly from No. 4 and No. 5 respectively.

. Such is not expected from an experienced senior player like Hardik Pandya. In the last match, India was very much ahead. And their victory was almost certain. India's average run rate was very good. Pandya could have given Tilak Varma a chance to score a half century. It would have been a huge achievement for a young player like Tilak. As a result, his confidence increased. He would have been able to play better in the coming matches. But due to Hardik, Tilak Varma could not score a half century for only 1 run. When the match was completely under India's control, Pandya could have given Tilak the opportunity at will.
BTW, the useless T20I series between New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates starts next week, with the first match being played on 17th August. Teams like New Zealand never plays any matches against associate nations like Nepal and Netherlands. UAE is special, since they have a lot of petro-dollars.
Everywhere it is money that gives them the opportunity. Looking upon the upcoming match schedule of India vs West Indies and the New Zealand vs United Arab Emirates T20 series clearly pictures it.Personally I think these series are needed. Although it may seem that the matches will be completely one-sided. However, UAE and Ireland need to organize a series against bigger teams to make their players more experienced. This will increase the confidence and experience of the players.
Looks like Dhawan will be retiring soon after the upcoming Ireland series. He truly deserved more opportunities when compared to Rohit etc. Also, it seems that Iyer and Rahul will be returning soon too.
Some sources stated that Bumrah will be returning too, but I am not sure about that considering his fitness issues.
Dhawan is already 37 years old and the decision to retire for the upcoming Ireland series is a decision too soon in my opinion because he can still play well and at least decided to retire when he was 40 years old.Some sources stated that Bumrah will be returning too, but I am not sure about that considering his fitness issues.
After all, he has also been the player who has scored the most goals for India several times, so his ability at this age has not decreased significantly.
Indeed, it is reported that Iyer and Rahu will be able to return soon and participate in the Asian Cup and also the World Cup, but if they fail to recover, maybe what we hope for the return of these two players will be lost.
Is Shikhar Dhawan really playing against Ireland?
Didn't check the squad or any announcement but it would be pretty dumb from the BCCI if they include him after keeping him out for like 2 years, it would send a mixed message to youngsters and seniors which is not good in the longer run.

I guess they included him and some other old players as it's his farewell series which is why these are just temporary changes. Am waiting to see Bumrah on top of his game again at some point in the future.
West Indies team was in good spirits after winning two consecutive matches but could not capitalize on the third match. If somehow, they could get a win in the third match that can be a golden day for them but the opportunity is not over yet. On the other hand, the Indian team will not want to lose the series. In the third match, Suryakumar Yadav's innings of 83 runs off 44 balls helped India win the match. Indian team's performance in the first and second matches was very poor but they have improved from that position. Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya batted responsibly from No. 4 and No. 5 respectively. They will try to maintain this consistency in the next match as well.
At first when I saw the target and make a comparison with the last matches so I thought that if West Indies performance remain same as previous so it will be difficult again for the Indian team to win the match. But in the last match India was in good form and it has managed its mind to win the match so according to their thoughts they performed well and won the match. 
Although India won the third match, West Indies did not perform badly at all. West Indies were basically defeated by two batsmen.
SKY and Tilak Verma have been the most important contributors to the third T20 win, but remember that these two batsmen will not score good runs every day.

Well.. I can agree on this. Apart from Tilak and SKY, none of the Indian batsmen are in great form. At top of the order, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are being inconsistent. If not for Tilak and SKY, India would have lost the third match (and the series) as well. Bowling was disappointing, with West Indian batsmen making a total of close to 160 runs. Anyway, by now one thing is clear. Without the key players such as Kohli and Rohit, India can't win matches (even against lower ranking test nations) under SENA conditions.

. Personal milestones are never bigger than team objectives. Hardik did the right thing. If Tilak wanted to reach the 50, then he should have kept strike. Why should Hardik risk a win for his team, so that Tilak is able to reach his half-century? Anyway, now the series shifts to USA. Remaining two matches will be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill. I never understand ICC's and BCCI's passion with USA. Even after two decades of failed efforts, they still believe that cricket will become popular in that country.

In the first two matches we didn't see good batting from SKY but in the third match he played his best and in the fourth match we will see again if he doesn't do well then who will lead the team.
Tilak Verma has been consistent in this series and has had good runs in every match, Tilak Verma is not a robot who does well every day. Instead of relying on only two players, the rest of the team's batsmen have to score runs.
In this T20 series against the West Indies, it seems that the Indian batsmen have forgotten to score runs.

I think BCCI will keep their current squad unchanged against Ireland. Because this squad can be the future squad of India. And these players are being given chances against relatively weaker teams to gain experience. Indian batsmen did not play well against West Indies. They suddenly performed well in 2/1 matches. But they do not have consistency of performance. This is why BCCI is likely to give more opportunities to these players. Ireland are relatively weak opponents. Indian youngsters have the potential to perform well against Ireland. I have not seen news that Shikhar Dhawan will back in this squad.
If it's T-20 then they could go with the almost same squad, maybe they'll add Bumrah just to check his fitness. Although the T-20 series before ODI WC won't help much IMO.

For the upcoming T20 series against South Africa, it is Steve Smith to open for the team Australia. The chief selector of Australia Cricket team George Bailey have announced it. This change have been made keeping in mind the next year's T20 World Cup. Steve Smith have good records and stands as a solid performer in ODI and test format cricket have now got into the shortest form of cricket. During the announcement Bailey also mentioned about his performance in the Big Bash and expect similar thing with the international games.
Having Smith open the bat in T20 cricket is a huge comeback for an Australian T20 cricketer. We usually see Smith batting at number four or number five but suddenly his opening batting is a real surprise. In T20 cricket it doesn't matter which position you play but what you contribute to the team matters a lot. In T20 cricket, the captain may not think that a certain player has to play in a certain position, at any time it is possible to rotate the team's players to bat in different positions. In T20 cricket, the batsmen are basically dropped according to the situation. If the team is in good condition then a hard hitter batsman is brought to the wicket at that time, if the team has a batting disaster then a person who can increase the innings by playing catch is brought to the wicket at that time.

He truly deserved more opportunities when compared to Rohit etc. Also, it seems that Iyer and Rahul will be returning soon too.

Indian team batted very well in this match however the openers still failed in this match. They lost two wickets for 34 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal made only 1 and Shubman Gill was dismissed for 6 runs only. However, Suryakumar Yadav made 83 runs and Tilak Varma made 49 runs and resulting in the first win.
Shubman Gill, the most in-form player of this year's IPL, has failed in three matches in this T20 series. If you look at Shubman Gill's run figures in three matches, you can imagine how bad his position is!1st match 3(9)
Second match 7(9)
Third match 6(11)
But the happy thing is that Shubman Gill will not have to answer for the next match as India won the match tomorrow. But Hardik Pandya may decide to change him.
With Yashsavi Jaiswal getting out for one run on his debut, the pressure will surely be on him to perform well in the next match.
Changing Shubman Gill for the next match can further put pressure on him and what are the choices for the Indian team in replacement of Shubman Gill ? I think the Indian management should not do too much experiment with the openers at this moment.
Keep in mind that he was a star player in the last IPL and also major tournaments like Asia Cup and World Cup are around the corner, so India should not be left him out at this point. Also when India has won this match, keep him on board, maybe he regains his form in the next two remaining matches of this series.
India team performance was good in the last match as everyone was expecting this. West Indies made almost same target as previous match. But in the last match fortunately West Indies won the match but in this match India showed its power. And there is 2 matches left of this series if India will win these 2 matches than Indian will win the series. And now the series is scoring at 2-1.
Suryakumar Yadav alone changed the game. I watched the game full game except for the last few overs. West Indies was 50 without a loss, and I was expecting them to score around 180-190 because they had ten wickets in hand. But, Pandya used their bowler very cleverly to restrict West Indies under 160. I was expecting another great show from Pooran but a single batter cannot perform every day. I placed a bet against India hoping West Indies will give their best and try to win the series with 2 matches to go. I lost my bet but good to see India play well with some young players. Pandya could give a chance to Tilak Varma to score a single run to fulfil his half-century.
This Indian squad is not weak. Strong enough squad. Every player in the squad is very talented. We have seen the great performance of these players in IPL. India's talented players. However, due to a lack of experience, the performance of these players is not regular. This is why India is having trouble winning against West Indies.
In the first two matches of the ODI series, we saw very poor batting from the Indian batsmen. But their performance in the third match impressed everyone. India played badly in the first two matches of the T20 series as well, and were defeated. They managed to make a comeback in the third match. India still have chances to win the series. There is no surprise if India won the last two matches. India has this capability.

They lost two wickets for 34 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal made only 1 and Shubman Gill was dismissed for 6 runs only.

Second match 7(9)

SKY made the difference yesterday. Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill got out for single-digit scores, and after that, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma managed to rebuild the innings. From a score of 34/2, India managed to chase the target comfortably and ended up at 164/3. Even now, India is trailing by 1-2 and they need to win all the remaining matches to win the series. Apart from SKY and Tilak Varma, the contribution from other Indian players are not up to the mark. In the bowling department, Mukesh Kumar was showing some promise, but he leaked a lot of runs yesterday.
I won't say their performance wasn't up to the mark. Hardik Pandya rotated their bowlers perfectly. Hardik held Mukesh Kumar for the death overs. 19 Runs in the last two overs wasn't that bad considering the opponent. Rovman Powell was waiting to hit boundaries in the death overs regardless of who the bowler is. Kuldeep Yadav got the wickets of the most dangerous batter "Pooran". He also got wickets of Brandon King and Charles. Chahal and Arshdeep Singh were expensive and they did not get any wickets as well.
However, winning all two matches won't be easy for India considering West Indies is a very good side in T20I. Still, this is not impossible. Let's wait for the next matches.
