Predictions

India vs South Africa

India’s form right now is perfect, just like before. But South Africa has the capacity to outplay India if they try a bit more. Their 2^nd ODI against India is proof that they could beat India if they really have to. Their form right now is just unstable. That does not mean they are now weak; they just have to fix their form and change their gameplay in order to be in the tempo. If India lets the game loose in the beginning, it’s South Africa’s chance to turn the game in their favour. If India puts more pressure on the bowling side, South Africa will get slow. Also, if India bats first, South Africa will definitely suppress India to keep the target as low as possible.

It is expected that South Africa is going to enter the game with a different gameplay, and their rhythm is not going to be the same as before. But India is expected to be the same, because their performance over the last few games actually paved the way for a win against South Africa. Thus, they will reconsider changing their strategy. They will stick to the performance, and they are not expected to overperform. India is more favoured to win the upcoming T20 fixture against South Africa.

New Zealand vs West Indies

The last Test game ended in a draw; the West Indies’ form right now is slow. But they have their time, and they somehow managed to end the game in a draw. New Zealand just slowed down a bit, which made the West Indies perform way better in the 2^nd innings. In the upcoming test game, the West Indies are expected to perform well. If New Zealand performs faster than before, the West Indies will slow down. Under Tom Latham, New Zealand holds the momentum and the strategy that the West Indies could never break. The New Zealand performance is going to be the same, maybe slightly higher and faster than before. But the West Indies is going to push harder this time. Will that be enough? we truly don’t know how far the West Indies could push. If the West Indies perform well in the first innings, they can take the 2^nd innings slowly, and also it will be easier to outperform New Zealand. But with the current form, the West Indies does not really seem to be promising enough to outperform New Zealand. New Zealand is more anticipated to win the upcoming fixture against the West Indies.
