Australia defeated India in the third T20I with Maxwell's devastating innings. Maxwell is like Aladdin's wonderful lamp. As the light comes out from Aladdin's wonderful lamp, it is as if the Australian team is completely illuminated by Maxwell's light. 2023 World Cup I saw a great innings by Maxwell who gave his team a win with great batting that day against Afghanistan. In yesterday's match as well, we saw Maxwell's brilliant innings brought Australia to the brink of victory. Seeing Maxwell's great batting reminded us of our country's all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib Al Hasan batted and bowled brilliantly against Sri Lanka in the 2023 World Cup. Shakib Al Hasan was the man of the match and the world's best all-rounder against Sri Lanka. Shakib Al Hasan then said in the press conference that if you have to play well then you have to play well. So that our team wins. His saying goes with Maxwell. When Maxwell batted brilliantly, Maxwell brought victory to Australia in that match. Every player should learn from Maxwell how to lead the team to victory.

Valid points which make complete sense, but I don't see the next Bumrah, Shami etc in any of them which is why I am being tough on them. Axar seems like a great replacement for Jadeja in the future.

Also, a random thought which came to my mind is to see Pant return somehow in fully fit condition and captain India in some or another format and end their ICC trophy drought.

Uganda versus Kenya 19th match

Today is the Nineteenth match of ICC Men T20 Qualifier competition and this match will be played before some time between Ugnada squad and Kenya Squad. Toss has already taken place between both these squads and Uganda squad won this toss and they have decided to bat first and give the opportunity to Kenya Squad to bowl. If we check out standings table of this competition, both these squads playing today match are in a same place with only difference of run rate. Both these teams have played a total four match, in these matches both these squads got victory in three matches and defeat in one match. With 0.503 plus run rate Ugnada squad is in third place and Kenya squad in fourth place with 0.481 plus run rate. This match is going to be tough between both these sqaud and they have a equal chance for emerge victory today.

Exactly, that's what I was talking about. This guy does not have any relatives on the cricket board. There are many examples in the Bangladesh cricket team. Imrul Kayes, Rubel Hossain, Al Amin Hossain, and Ashraful Islam, these guys are examples. At the same time, there are several players getting chance after chance even though they have failed numerous times.

I know there are Politics in Indian cricket too. It's big mystery for me to understand why some of Indian star crickets was never included in the national team after a period of time.

Finally, Australia won their first match in this series. They played 3 matches and 2 won by India and just 1 won by Australia. If Australia wants to win this series so they should win the remaining two matches of this series.

Yesterday was a great match. Australia played very well in the previous two matches but they couldn't win and they deserved to win but they finally got a victory yesterday. The Australian all team played very well that's why they won the match. Australia won by 5 wickets against India in yesterday's match. This is the first victory of Australia after the biggest tournament ever in cricket history.

The person in charge of bowling in the last over may not have been able to take the nerve pressure due to which he failed to play the ball in the right place. In the 20th over where 20 runs are needed, there is no point in short balls or outside length balls as much as possible to try for wide yorkers. Prasidh Krishna failed there. Prasidh Krishna did not bowl well at all in the last over, you bowled well in the 18th over which is why he was relied upon but he did not give the skipper's trust. However, India lost this match and nothing major happened because they had already won the first two matches. There are still two matches to clinch the series, a win in either of the two matches will ensure India's series.

yep, he's done it again! Maxwell, the big-hitting master known as BIGSHOW by Aussies, came through when it mattered. His fantastic innings helped Australia chase down 223 off the final ball, and keeping Australia alive in the series. No matter the pitch conditions, I just can't believe the Indian bowlers. Indian batsmen can put 250 on board, but there's no guarantee the bowlers can defend it. The Indian bowling unit needs to work on their issues.

Zimbabwe won the match in 6 wickets.Match was very interesting and Zimbabwe chased this score easily in 14 overs. Nigeria made 110 runs with fall of 8 wickets and Zimbabwe won the game with fall of 4 Wickets.S raza  played very well and made 65 runs in just 37 balls .S raza play very well in both side bowling  and batting.s raze took 2 wickets by giving 13 runs in 3 overs and Ngarava took 2 Wickets by giving 21 runs in 4 overs. Nigeria  lose this match due to limitations in bowling.

Absolutely, you've highlighted a crucial aspect of the match – Glenn Maxwell's impactful presence on the pitch. His performance, not only against India but also in the ICC World Cup match against Afghanistan, showcases his ability to steer his team to victory under challenging circumstances. The parallels between the two matches, with Maxwell making significant contributions in both, emphasize his consistency and skill.

His remarkable double century in the ICC World Cup match against Afghanistan and the century in the T20I against India underscore his prowess as a key player for Australia. It's impressive how he managed to resist the opposition's attempts to get his wicket in both matches, showcasing his resilience and ability to handle pressure.

Zimbabwe won this match by 6 wickets against Kenya. Kenya didn't perform well and score only 110 runs in loss of 8 wickets in batting first 20 overs. From Kenya Ridwan Abdulkareem batting well some good hits but bowled by Skindar Raza at 31 runs in 35 balls and helped Kenya to cross 100 runs against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe amazing bowling performance Skindar raza who picked 2 important wicktes by giving just 13 runs in 3 overs. While Zimbabwe chase down the target 111 runs in loss of 4 wickets in just 14 overs and won match by 6 wickets and add 2 point in point table of world cup qualifier.

Once again you are blaming Prasidh Krishna, while ignoring the role played by Axar Patel in India's defeat. Prasidh bowled a really good 18th over, by conceding just 6 runs. The equation was changed from 49 runs off 3 overs, to 43 runs off 2 overs. And then Axar came to bowl and opened the floodgates. He conceded 22 runs and this reduced the equation to 21 runs from 6 balls. The Indian captain was also clueless. What is the point in asking a spinner to bowl the 19th over? He could have asked Avesh Khan or Arshdeep Singh to do the job instead.

I checked score after 17 over and score was 155.. I thought that target will be under two hundred.. I was busy in other matter.. When I comeback home and checked target; I could not believe that India score 80 runs in last three over. Maxwell gives so many runs in the last over. This India team is so well with the bat.


Maxwell once again proved that he could steal any hard game from the team; He proved that everything is possible for him to chase so far he will be on the crease. This man will be most dangerous player in the T20 match. He has so mamy techniques to hit sixes in the style. He is very strict with reverse sweep and hitting towards the backside. He doesn't use so many foot working.. India have to work on the theirs bowling. Deaths bowling special is required which is much required in T20 matches. Arshdeep is experienced players; he should give attention to his bowling in the death bowling especially when player like Maxwell on the crease.

India batsman 223 target for Australia team. This is very hard target. Indian batsman tried and struggled a lot. Only the batsman of the Indian team attempted the bowler showed no effort. Prasidh Krishna played very brilliantly in 18 overs. And after conceding 6 run he still controlled the Australia Batsman. Maxwell played very well and the Indian bowlers could not control it which would cost them the match. But the Indian bowlers could try and struggle any more. And the Australian Batsman will not able to control themselves and will lose the match.The Indian bowlers tried and struggled but Maxwell wasted their efforts and his 100 off 47 balls brought the match close to victory.And at that time the Indian bowlers could not control it due to which Maxwell won the match.Had the Indian bowlers dismissed Maxwell they could have won the match as the runs were to stop and the overs were over.

Zimbabwe is inching towards a victory against Nigeria, and this would give them 6 points from 5 matches. They have one more match remaining - against Kenya, which will be played tomorrow. But the crucial match for today is yet to start. There is a match between Kenya and Uganda, which is a must-win for both the sides. A loss today would mean that the team would fail to qualify for the 2024 world cup. Uganda, given their exceptional form so far is strongly favored (they had defeated Zimbabwe a few days back), but then you can't discount Kenya as well.

Yes, in this India squad won two previous match with great performances and won by big scores. In this match, Indian squad also made a very scores defending target and if we observe, this defending target was not seem to be achievable. But Australia squad turned not possible to possible and this was only made achievable due to Glenn Maxwell tremendous batting inning strength. If Glenn Maxwell got out from the crease not complete a century, then Australia squad have not able to emerge victory in this third T20 match.BTW, Indian squad also tried their best innings on crease theri performance in batting inning was too much fantastic but in bowling inning and fielding performance was bit bad. Hope we will see a such wonderful match in next two remaining matches.

Yes you are right India's bowling wasn't good but the main thing is that Glenn Maxwell was on the pitch. Just like he stood in the front of Afghanistan. In both match there are many things are common. In ICC World cup match he made double century and pulled the Australian to the target and won the match. Just like that he made century in T20I against India and pulled again to the victory.
And in ICC World Cup match Afghanistan tried to get his wicket but he didn't give any chance to them and in yesterday match India also tried to get his wicket but didn't get.

And the Match was interesting particularly at the last stage. When Australia needed 76 runs on 26 balls. Last three overs was really amazing. Australian players really fast and won the match with the last. They need 2 runs to win on the last ball and Glenn Maxwell hit four as winning shot. The match was really interesting.

India bowling performance in 3rd T20 match is disappointing. Australia needs 76 runs in 26 balls and they didn't restrict Australia bastmen. Australia batting performance is outstanding especially Maxwell 104 unbeaten. The player of the match is Glenn Maxwell for his amazing all round batting and bowling performance scores century 104 runs unbeaten in just 48 balls and bowl over but costly his 30 runs. A target of 223 runs in T20 cricket is not easly for any team but Australia chase down this target 225 runs in loss of 5 wickets only in last ball of match. India bowling performance Ravi Bishnoi picked  2 important wicktes by giving 32 runs and Avesh Khan only pick 1 wicket by giving 37 runs in 4 overs but lost match last expensive overs of Prasidh Krishna.

You notice only in the second match there was a slight margin India won by 44 runs. But the win in the first and third T20 matches was very difficult, they should not blame the bowling and batting in any way. Because India won the first and second match because of their good performance. But you notice in the third match it was only Maxwell who turned the game around, Maxwell was the only Australian team to go because of his good performance. And this win was only due to experience as Maxwell led the team to victory with his all round performance and old experience.

The Indian batsmen tried hard and succeeded where they set a target of 223 runs but when it came to the bowling, the Indian bowlers could not contain the Australian batsmen. Prasidh Krishna alone should not be blamed here as he conceded only 6 runs in the 18th over but needed 21 runs in the 20th over and he could not defend even this 21 runs. In this case, Maxwell is most responsible. So for now India's misfortune should prevail here. But the Indian bowlers also tried hard to control the match but they failed only because of Maxwell.

I was replying to someone else but okay

Arshdeep was the leading wicket taker for India in the last T-20 WC, he's also the leading wicket taker in T-20 since his debut. Krishna is fairly young in T-20I and played only 5 T-20 matches, like I said these guys are not airdropped. Krishna is quite good in 50 overs and a performer in FC/India A. Atm they are trying him in T-20, give him at least 10 matches and if he still fails then try someone else.

Speaking of far better bowlers, you can't bring anyone to the national team just like that. There is a process, you have to perform in domestic cricket then India A or if someone wants to get into the T-20I setup quickly then perform in the IPL or perform a couple of years in Mushtaq Ali Trophy and if you are consistent in the latter tournament then you are already playing in the IPL. Arshdeep did that in IPL and he's a decent performer in domestic cricket as well.  

Bhuvi and Yadav are not a contenders anymore. Deepak Chahar is good but he's always injured, guess he's coming back for the last 2 matches. Natarajan is good but he's also injury prone and got dropped due to his injuries. Mukesh Kumar is a new guy and looking decent but he took a leave recently and left the T-20 squad. Umran Malik has pace but he's not ready yet. Tushar Deshpande is a work in progress (won't get much chance imo).

Whenever the likes of Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Hardik and Shardul are not available, then management tries their best to rotate new guys on a regular basis and you have to remember you can't have 20 Men's squads for the series.
