CT13 Group A – Match 12: Australia Vs Sri Lanka

Australia

Extreme hard work will be required for Australia to get through this one. They need to be more focussed and more aggressive with their overall game plans. Initially bowling will appear troubled.

The Captain – George Bailey

Bailey will try a little too hard to keep everything balanced and in order. It will be a tough task, but by re-confirming strategies before implementing them will put the team in a better position.

Sri Lanka

Initial bowling will be inconsistent, but the team will come together well in all other areas. They will be progressively cautious and not stagnate. Their sensible implementation of plans will work in their favour.

The Captain – Angelo Mathews

Although not entirely confident, a nervous Mathews will get good support from the team. He should be weary of confusing his ideas.

Sri Lanka

Lanka Need to Compete but Will They? England Vs Sri Lanka

Thursday, 13th June 2013 D/N (5.30pm IST)

CT13 Group A – Match 8: England Vs Sri Lanka

England

They have all the tools and all the right ideas, but will make some elementary errors and appear weak despite having the right plans in place. There will be some good bowling and batting partnerships that will steer their innings. Batting towards the end and some complacency in the field will be a bother.

The Captain – Alastair Cook

Cook will be quite clear in his mind as to how he wishes to approach the game, but outwardly he may appear confused. He will manage to juggle quite a few concerns, hence retaining the team’s balance.

Sri Lanka

Confusions and a temperamental performance will hinder their position. They will have to be more aggressive with the bat in order to give their team a fighting chance. Bowling towards the end may lose focus.

The Captain – Angelo Mathews

Calculated and quick decision making will work in Mathews’ favour today. He will take the right risks and have conviction in them. But in order to succeed he will have to continue this formulae to the end, especially as that’s where the team will falter.

Tarot Advantage:

England

An Interesting Game: New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka

Sunday, 9th June 2013 (3pm IST)

CT13 Group A – Match 4: New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka

New Zealand

Temperamental, yet having the ability to adapt themselves, New Zealand will come out strongly. Their bowling will require better consistency for it to challenge the opposition. Overall they will put up a good fight.

The Captain – Brendon McCullum

His captaincy has the right ideas, but he really will find it tough to keep himself together and focussed enough for it to be effective for the team.

Sri Lanka

They may not have the most ideal start and their initial negativity will ware off quickly for them to steady themselves well. Middle over batting will need to step up, and fielding will need to be more consistent.

The Captain – Angelo Mathews

A little over-aggressive, Mathews will calm himself and lead the team well. His own contribution will be positive.

Tarot Advantage:

Sri Lanka

(Reason: There isn’t much difference between the teams, but Sri Lanka will have better overall conviction)

Tarot-IPL Sunday: Delhi Vs Mumbai .. Punjab Vs Pune..

Tarot’s getting back on track – but will Delhi? I believe all four teams today lost their last matches.. who will redeem themselves..and who won’t. A look through the cards..

Sunday, 21st April 2013 (4pm IST)

IPL 6 – Match 28: Delhi Daredevils Vs Mumbai Indians

Delhi Daredevils

The pattern continues with Delhi not having the most ideal start, and neither will they have the best frame of mind – they will wait and watch – this will allow them to build the right momentum to fight the opposition strongly. Their bowling may let them down.

The Captain – Mahela Jayawardene

Initially appearing confused, Jayawardene will gather himself and the team well. He will lead better and may even be involved in a good partnership. But he will certainly work hard and see better results.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai do not feel the most balanced despite some good past performances. They will seem shaky and unsure at times, yet they too will put up a strong fight. Aggression will be a key element, but instead, they will need to be more cautious in all areas of play.

The Captain – Ricky Ponting

Captain Ponting outwardly appears strong, yet has an under-confident mind set today. He will have to work much harder to gain control over situations.

Tarot Advantage:

Delhi Daredevils

IPL 6 – Match 29: Kings XI Punjab Vs Pune Warriors India

Kings XI Punjab

Seeming too soft will not stead well for the Kings XI. They will make a positive turn around and pull themselves together. Their bowling will initially be a let down but with a strong finish.

The Captain – Adam Gilchrist

Plans will be simplified, but Gilchrist will again be too soft towards the opposition – this may just be a deception as he will read the situation well, allowing him to implement some clever ideas.

Pune Warriors India

The Warriors will be inconsistent – at times they will be strong, but only to drop their standards again. Their finishing looks weak since they will believe that all is in control, but this over-confidence will not help. Fielding standards will be depreciate in the second half.

The Captain – Angelo Mathews

Mathews is extremely determined and aggressive. He will confuse his ideas and will find it tough to maintain the right balance for successful captaincy.

Tarot Advantage:

Kings XI Punjab
