India-Afghanistan 2nd T-20 is about to start soon. I hope Afghanistan performs really well in this encounter and surprises everyone to make the series more entertaining since a whitewash is expected and boring.

I feel they have better chances if they bowl first since they have some explosive batsmen especially lower down the order.

In the first t20 match, Afghanistan did try to perform well. I thought Afghanistan had given a pretty decent target. Of course, when the appointment is in India, anything under 170 is not very safe. And India also proves that very well. India was able to win the match without any problems in the end. I just expected a better bowling performance from Afghanistan. Afghanistan did get the first week as quickly. But they were unable to do much after that. I think Afghanistan seriously missed the bowling of Rashid Khan. With him, I believe they had a better chance to defend the target. But at the end of the day, it is what it is and you cannot say that as an excuse.

If Afghanistan had batted a little better in the first T20 match of India vs Afghanistan, maybe they would have won the first T20 match against India. Because the bowling line of Afghanistan is very good but in the first T20 match against India we did not see that good bowling from Afghanistan. If Afghanistan want to win against India then they must improve both batting and bowling otherwise they can never win against India. In the second T20 match like the first T20 match, they will have to try and try to bowl Afghanistan better. If Afghanistan want to win the second T20 match against India they must bowl well and restrict India to few runs otherwise Afghanistan cannot win the second T20 match.

You are posting this all on wrong place, please go to proper thread and post your views about T20i which are currently playing between India and Afghanistan.

I think Australia after winning the World Cup has become a formidable team they win against any team in the wolrd. Their outstanding performance in the Test matches against Pakistan demonstrates their batting power and helps them secure victories. Australian team balanced strength in both batting and bowling, the upcoming series against the West Indies appears promising and beat him if consistency played like against recently test series. Australia is set to qualify for the World Test Championship as long as they maintain their dominance and win against west Indies.

It is only natural that the team with the best 4-day domestic cricket setup in the world (Sheffield Shield) is dominating test cricket. County cricket of England and Plunkett Shield of New Zealand comes next, but they rank lower. Quality of Ranji Trophy cricket in India has seen some improvement in recent times, but the problem is that there are too many teams taking part (38 in total) and the national players almost never participate in these matches. For example, Bhuvneshwar Kumar recently played a match for Uttar Pradesh, after a long gap of 6 years.

There is no doubt about this if any country having the best domestic set up they can rule the sport its apply for the all and currently India is having good development but sadly being a big country sometime create more problems for them like we have in India they need to work on to redevelop and bringing more interest for the players with money is enough, but now they need to work on even this is not easy but still they can bring changes which will bring more strength and positivity as they have well established things which are not available in any other Asian country.
