PunterPolls Prediction

West Indies dominating the T20I series after been dominated by the hosts in the Test Matches. This is what a change in format can do, completely 180 degree turn and Gayle storm is the main reason behind this.

South African team struggling as far as captaincy is concern, Du Plessis after taking the charge in the series, is the third captain for the year. One of his main job is to inspire the players to perform better and put them on winning streak.

In between, West Indies have won the toss and once again opted to bowl first. Tahir and Miller is out, JP Duminny is in for South Africa. Chris Gayle is out from West Indies playing XI which is kind of good news for the hosts.

According to our experts, South Africa has better chances to win this game, one of the main reason is WI lower batting strength hasn’t been tested yet.

32nd Match, Group 2 - Pakistan v West Indies, April 1, 2014

  • West Indies (51% Votes)
  • Pakistan (49% Votes)

PunterPolls Prediction

Match between two most unpredictable teams of the tournament. Both teams didn’t start off very well and now one out of them will qualify for the semi-final against Sri Lanka on 3rd of April. If we look at the performances of both teams, its been hard to decide which one to support and why. Reason behind is both teams are similar in all department of the game. 

Only couple of batsmen from both sides are looking in good form and bowlers for both the teams have picked up the line and length as the game progresses. In the bowling department, we are more in favour of West Indies as they do have match winner spinners at their side.

23rd Match, Group 2 - Australia v West Indies, March 28, 2014

  • West Indies (32% Votes)
  • Australia (68% Votes)

PunterPolls Prediction

Australia’s top order batsmen are in-form and they do have very deep batting line-up. Problem is with their bowling department and to some extent the captaincy. In the last game against the Pakistan, Bailey din’t ask Maxwell to bowl instead chosen Finch when their lead spin bowler Hodge was proven to be ineffective. Moreover they lost against the Pakistan from the stage where even a club team can put a better show. They do have batsmen but can they play spin? This is the big question on the Australian batsmen.

West Indies, team who enjoys playing cricket somehow been playing under pressure in the tournament so far. No-doubt they do have quality players and on a good day, beating this team is a dream. Their strength is their spin attack and the problem is their non-reliable batting line-up.

20th Match, Group 2 - Bangladesh v West Indies, March 25, 2014

  • West Indies (55% Votes)
  • Bangladesh (45% Votes)

PunterPolls Prediction

It’s not easy to beat Bangladesh at their home ground but then they lost against the Afghanistan few weeks back in the Aisa cup. But as we used to say, accident doesn’t happen too often. Same rule can be applied to this match. West Indies beaten by India other day is not looking in great touch, especially their batting. But they do have line-up which turned to be deadly one if they are on song.

West Indies are defending champions and Bangladesh playing at their home turf are two different pressure for both the teams.

West Indies no doubt will be in severe pressure  today. Their batsmen were under pressure in the game against the Indians, but then Bangladesh doesn’t have quality of pacers upfront. Their spin attack can create some pressure later on but if Smith or Gayle will get the start, its going to be difficult for Bangladesh bowlers to contained them. Apart from openers, WI team does have in-depth batting line-up in the form of Samuels and Bravo.

See below which team our experts are supporting today.
