West indies won the 2dn game by 30 runs. West indies is a strong team and amazing playing in 20 overs games . West indies totally runs for 179 and won the match. South Africa total runs for 149 and lost the match. West indies played a good match their performance was very impressive. I hope South Africa they will play better in the nest match. It is a very disappointed thing that Sri Lanka. The 2nd match between South Africa and west indies wa played at brain Lara stadium. South Africa won the toss and elected to batting first. The should excellent teamwork and skill on the field. They have made their fans very happy for west india team. West india won the match and hopefully they will continue to play like this in the future matches. Congratulations to west india for their upcoming matches. The normal batting performance in the West indies man team was by romario shepherd scored 9 runs and 6 balls hitting 0 fours and 1 sixs.

The 5th match of the Netherlands T20 tri-series has already started. Today's match is Canada vs USA. In today's match, USA won the toss and batted early. Team USA has started the batting very well so far their score is 42 runs without a wicket in 4 overs. If the two opening batsmen of the USA team can play responsibly in this way, then the USA team can set a good score in this match today. But it is impossible to say which team can win the match in today's match because the game has just started now let's see which team can perform well to win this match today.

Yeah and in contrast Windies went with the full strength team so it's no wonder they are leading in the t-20 series.

Proteas normally never do such experiments but due to their new T-20 league, they got some new talents in T-20 and now trying to give them experience at the international level. They are also going with the same route as IND-ENG-AUS, not a bad choice because every board should look to strengthen their bench strength.

West Indies team has won two T20 matches against South Africa, it is really unbelievable but West Indies team is performing very well in this T20 match. South Africa team is very strong but they are not able to perform patiently in T20 matches, this is the weakness of bowling.  If the players of the South African team can put pressure on the West Indies bowling team in a good and patient manner, then the South African team will surely win.

In the final match of the tri-nation T20 series, the final match of Kuwait vs Hong Kong was easily won by Kuwait. Hong Kong had the run rate from the start but managed just 50 runs in the last 8 overs, leaving Kuwait with a target of just 147 runs. Kuwait batted and took full control of the match with a great partnership of 100 runs for the first wicket.  Ravija Sandaruwan batted brilliantly as he remained unbeaten on 102 off just 48 balls with nine boundaries and seven over boundaries, his batting prowess helped Kuwait reach the target with easy. However, Hong Kong's bowling performance was not good at all, Kuwait took 83 balls to reach 147 runs and they won by a huge margin of eight wickets.

Canada team will play today against USA in Tri Nation T20 series. I consider these two teams to be equally strong. But it looks like Canada will win this match. Because in the last match we saw the excellent performance of Canada's players against the Netherlands. Canada team won against Netherlands by 8 runs. Although the batsmen could not bat well, Canada was able to defeat the Netherlands team due to the excellent bowling of the bowlers.

On the other hand Team USA lost their last match against Netherlands by a huge margin of 102 runs. Netherlands set a huge target of 218 runs. The USA did not have the ability to win such a large target. Today's Canada vs. USA match looks set to be a competitive one.

Canada's bowling lineup is strong. So I would say if the USA batsmenera can bat responsibly in today's match then they have a chance to win. USA has no chance of winning if USA batsmen do not play well.

This makes a lot of sense. South Africa are experimenting with new talents to prepare for the future since many of their old stalwarts are retiring one after the other which is why this is their contingency plan.

Failures are expected when experimenting with new talent while West Indies are clearly happily rocking in the T20 format especially after losing the test series earlier.

We all know how strong West Indies are in T20. This may be due to their physical ability and ability to play big short games. I think all 11 of the West Indies team can bat well. That's why West Indies are so terrible in T20. Earlier West Indies' weakness was bowling, but now we can see the improvement in their bowling which is making them stronger. To survive in cricket, batting, bowling and fielding must perform well from 3 aspects. There is no question about their batting and fielding but I think their bowling unit was questionable a few days ago. At present they are thriving in this sector as well.

South Africa is generally a very good team in all 3 formats. For the 3-match T20I series against West Indies, they fielded some young players in their squad. They are working on their future, I think they are not very optimistic about winning this series. Their objective is to create new players. We have seen the caliber of the South African team in the last T20 World Cup, where they finished the tournament as runners-up and played competitive cricket in the final as well. As a team, South Africa are a very good team but they need more work to be consistent.

So, the reason for the loss against the West Indies is given to the newcomers in the South African team. What do you think?

Kuwait vs Hong Kong final match today, Hong Kong batted first and collected 146 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. The team captain Nizakat Khan batted brilliantly and scored 48 runs, Zeeshan Ali scored a half-century and both of them had excellent batting performances. Yasin Patel had a great performance in the bowling line for Kuwait as he got two wickets and put Hong Kong under a lot of pressure. However, to meet the target of 147 runs, Kuwait must put up a good enough batting performance and play responsibly if they are to win this final match. And if the opening batsmen can bat responsibly then today's win will be sure for Kuwait and if they don't play well then surely they will lose against Hong Kong.

There is nothing wrong with your argument but it won't show the whole picture, for this, you have to check their squad as well, you won't find many first choice players there except Markarm, Reeza Hendricks, Tristan Stubbs and Rassie van der Dussen (he's washed out cricketer and filling for Klassen).

The Likes of De Kock, Klassen, Miller, Jansen, Rabada, Nortje are all rested for this series. Even their main spinners Maharaj and Shamsi are not there.

Agreed. I came across his captaincy first when he used to captain SRH in IPL, I thought there must be something in him that's why they chose him, and I kept waiting to see what he has got, but he never impressed me.

SA seems to have lack of good leaders, that's probably why they choke so often.

He's been good though in SA20, his led team has been champion twice in two seasons that have been played and have played some good knocks, famous one being in SA20 2023 season semi-final [1], but these are far and few between.

Quite surprising west indies team lead this T20I series with two wins and they already lost test series and one game they lost and other game was drawn with no result. But in T20I series format their team performed quite well and every their batting line effort was brilliant. There is no doubt West indies team is strong in T20 series and their players also have power to hit long shots. In 2 nd game, South Africa team won the toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and South Africa team elected field first. This was wrong decision of South Africa team in this game. West indies set competitive target and grab good runs 179 to South Africa team. Shepherd bowlers of West indies team side, he took down 3 wickets in 4 overs and gave 15 runs. Joseph bowled well and he dismissed same number of wickets total 3. S.Hope also batted great and he made 41 runs. now I am waiting for last game south Africa already lost this game hope West indies whitewash south Africa team with all wins.

Netherlands had chances to win yesterday but in the end Canada won by 8 runs. Canada batted first and set a target of 133 runs. The target of 133 runs in the T20 format is not a big target, it was easy to chase the target if you bat patiently. But the Netherlands batsmen could not perform well. Netherlands batsmen had a great performance against USA in the last match. But no batsman could perform well against Canada yesterday. Netherlands could have won if 1 batsman batted well for Netherlands. In T20 2-1 batsmen if bats well the score becomes quite big. The Netherlands bowlers bowled well enough, bowling brilliantly to restrict Canada to few runs. Yesterday Netherlands lost due to their batting failure.

Canada won the match against Netherlands with a great bowling . Netherlands are a strong team but their batsmen could not form good partnerships which led them to score only 124 runs.  The Netherlands batting line up failed to perform well and the Canada bowlers kept them under pressure.  The Canada bowlers did their best to keep the Dutch batsmen from scoring runs. Especially  K sana  and kumar both he took 4 wickets and also made runs for his team . The Canada team could have seen a bigger target if Movva  continued his innings and  S zafar aslo preformed well and made 33 run in 36 ball with the continue his inning .  Still Canada won this match with a very good bowling performance .

you are right The West Indies team has always been very strong in the T20 format. West Indies players regularly perform in various franchise leagues. And almost every franchise performs well in the league. So this team is very strong in T20 format.

But the South African team is not weak. The South African squad includes some T20 specialist players like Stubbs, Hendrick Dussen and Marakram. However, the South African team lost both matches against the West Indies. I at least thought South Africa would make a comeback in the second match. But in the second match too, South Africa lost by 30 runs.

South Africa will face West Indies in the third and final match of the series tomorrow. We don't think South Africa will lose all three matches in the series. Hopefully we will see South Africa's comeback in the third match.

West Indies is quite strong in T20 format, so it was not that surprising to see them taking a 2-0 lead against South Africa in the T20I series. Their main issue is that the players are simply not interested in representing the national side, as they can make far more money by playing various franchise T20 leagues. In both the matches, it was the South African bowling which failed, and ended up in gifting the matches to West Indies. They tried a few inexperienced bowlers such as Kwena Maphaka, Patrick Kruger and Lizaad Williams. But these bowlers failed to perform well.

South Africa team unlucky. I think so. For a long time we have been witnessing poor and erratic performances from South African players. This group is quite strong. Lots of talented players in the squad. However, the team's overall performance has been poor.

South Africa failed to win the first match against the West Indies despite being given a decent target. Even the West Indies team managed to win the match very easily. However, in the second match I had high expectations from the South African players. The West Indies team gave a target of 180 runs. South Africa got off to a fantastic start. South Africa collected 85 runs in 7 overs. The team failed to collect only 95 runs in the remaining 13 overs. South Africa even lost the match by 30 runs. Despite winning the Test series, South Africa's performance in the T20 series has been disappointing.

I didn't understand that does my luck is bad or the Luck of South African team was not going good? I made loose my two bet on South African team side by side.

In the first match I was overconfident about the South African team and the result was loss and in this match I bet again on the south African team because of their good starting on the batting and thought that the are going to recover in this match but no they could make consistent on their performance in this match also and loose this match I this these are going to be put the South African team in Fame of Shame.

I don't know if there is any mystery or something to it, but whenever I see a team that wins the toss and decides to bowl, they always lose the match, according to my observation. Haha, I don't know why. Teams select their innings according to the pitch performance, but when they win the toss and choose to bowl, they end up losing the match. Just check today's match between SA and West Indies: SA won the toss and decided to bowl, and now look, they lost the match. What do you guys say about this?

Well, coming to the match, it is very bad for the SA team to lose two consecutive matches. They have only one last game in this series to win and break this clean sweep order. This time, they were very close to the target, and they played 19 overs, which shows they lost most of their balls and played slowly. This is a T20 match, and only those teams will succeed who can score the most runs in the power play. Somehow, they played well in today's match compared to the previous one, and I hope they will win the next match.

This time the South African team was close to winning this game but still lost it by 30 runs. Both captains Rovman Powell from West Indies and Aiden Markram from South Africa came to the toss that was won by Rovman Powell meanwhile West Indies won the toss. They decided to bowl first that was good decision but in the last match, they won the toss and they decided to bowl first too. There was no change in decision and in the team by the West Indies and gone with the same mindset as they had last time in the ground.
