Cricket match prediction discussions

Mumbai Indians managed to win a thriller despite making a low score of 129. This was the lowest total in an IPL final and they managed to defend it!!
The match went to the last ball, but Pune couldn't find the required boundary.

Its was never easy for the new batsman on both the end at 19.3 and final pressure requiring you to hit right from first ball . This will certainly mount a huge pressure on any new batsman. But yes the match went till last ball and had their being a super over that would be the best final to watch for

This is why people think that matches in Indian premier league are fixed. Can't do anything except not to bet on a twenty twenty match. Does anyone else felt that it was fixed??

Don't know but the game was going well till the 19.1 over and then they just lost the match. Dhoni got out for such a small score but still I had hope with Smith being there but when he got out, the match was done and dusted. It looked like a fixed match then as losing by just 1 run is too depressing and that too in the finals. I would love to believe it's fixed now rather than considering that they truly lost the match by 1 run.

Compare the game with the odds and you'll come to know whether it was fixed or not. A super over was a possibility but everyone knew that lots of people have bet on RPS. So loosing the match would make more money than going for a super over.

I agree . It all depends on the management , first CSK management now this? Actually GL v DD match in the middle of IPL also had some rumors of being fixed . RCB's poor performance also makes us think IPL is fixed . This is why cricket looses fans .

Two bookies were arrested from teams hotel after GL vs DD match and it's quite obvious that they were there to fix. It's like
20-20 format is made for fixing. Hope it'll not happen in the champion's trophy.

These days cricket is going in a worst manner with players getting caught often into match fixing. I think mostly this would be because of the players getting paid very big than what they get from playing good cricket. Also Countries like India has lots of cricket lovers, so making money out of the game is easier.

The betting industry for cricket matches is in millions and the players who got a heavy amount in the auction would likely become more greedy and fix the matches. We have already seen it in IPL but just praying that something this should not happen in an international league.

Players who gets sold for heavy amount will never get greedy and fix matches as they have already earned huge amount of money and those are the players with great reputation at international level so they will never get involved in match fixing by putting their reputation at stake and mostly in match fixing those players are involved who are struggling with their international carrier and don't get place at international level as its easy to convince them to get into match fixing by offering huge sum of money.

Only in private league tournaments players and bookies will take the risk to make match fix. in an internatioanl match, they will not take that much risk because it is an international issue and if anybody caught means there life will spoil. So I think in champion's trophy it won't happen. It's ok Mumbai won the trophy 3rd time congratulation.

I think you dont know much about fixing, before this local tournaments the fixing was happening and they were all international matches. Some country matches are clearly fixed as they are poor country like, pakistan, westindies, bangladesh, and lower end teams, you can see their all matches that from winning position they lose it.

so fixing is not fixed to local tournaments but in todays time 99% of matches are fixed.

Its really hard to know whether the match was fixed or not especially in IPL matches as we have come across through news that the owners of CSK and RR were themselves involved in match fixing so its really impossible to trust any matches nowadays as if players can get greedy then they will surely start fixing the matches for the sake of quick money.

I think Dhoni will make a difference in the match and i really wish Pune win this final with all the drama associated with the team in the beginning when Smith was appointed the captain they have come a long way to play as a team when needed and reach the final and it is just one step to win the tournament and i hope they can do that.

Certainly Dhoni experience on field is going to play a vital role for Pune to give a tough match to Mi . Though considering the batting line , MI has a strong line up and in bowling Bumrah will make a key difference if he strike early the Pune may be in trouble.

The main reason for this match loss from pune side is due to dhoni,it was a perfect situation when he came in and smith was all set to handle it from the other end.But he played a bit defensive and wasted too many dot balls and the situation turned in favour of mumbai.he should have fired hard since smith was well set till the end.

Yes, I feel Dhoni's wicket too was unplanned and he could have avoided that ball easily. Instead he went for it and got out at merely 10 runs which then changed the entire game. After that, Smith was struggling with Tiwari and then finally they lost the match. The dot balls was the reason that the pressure was building on them else till the 15th over, it was going fine as per the run rate. Now what's lost is lost. Hope the Indian team benefit from this IPL.

Wicket of MSD was turning point of the match and the last over bowled by Johnson was outstanding and even the pitch was very slow and not supporting the batsmen which made to have more dot balls and that created lots of pressure on the batting side and as run rate kept on increasing it made batsmen to go for big shots which resulted in wicket and that took game in the favor of MI but overall it was an outstanding game of cricket to watch.

Champions trophy coming up...

I am eagerly waiting for 4th June to see the encounter between Indian and Pakistan and if you are a cricket fan then you cannot afford to miss even a single ball of it and it would be interesting to see what players India will select against Pakistan and for India the only worry is that Kohli is not in a great form.

Kohli , Rohit , Rahane All aren't in great form but still India will win because bowlers are in great form . Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar will steal the show , it will be a great bowlers match .

Tomorrow got a good one-day match between England and South Africa. England is playing at home ground and got some advantage over SA. But SA is not a weak team and them too good in playing these fast tracks. So this match will be very interesting to watch. I feel SA may give a surprise to England team in tomorrow match even though England is playing at home ground. What do you guys things?

[Chin Cheng]

Yes it is true that England and SA will be a tightly contested match but England does have a really better and stronger ODI side as all of their players are in prime form and it is going to be a challenging tour for South African as ABD is coming back into the team after a long gap and happy to see him back.

Sout Africa is not a weak team bro, and they are very strong in limited over matches. And some players had good practice in IPL series. I think SA will be given a tough fight to England. This match will be entertaining, and England have to home ground advantage, so they have a chance to win this match. My choice is SA.

ABD is main player as he can change the cruse of game anytime with his batting skill. Though currently he is out of form as he was not much able to do in IPL other than 1-2 inning.
Well England on other side is well balanced and seems to look little better on paper atleast.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

@bitcoinisbest ,yes ABD could make a difference in the match at any time,he could not perform like he used to be in the IPL because he is coming out of an injury.I hope it is going to be a high scoring game as both teams are having a healthy batting line up and it is going to be a close match up looking at the team from both sides.

Very correct, each and every ball is going to be interesting!

Afridi will surely be missed this time, at least by me.

I'm also looking forward to the Champions Trophy. It's been a while since I posted in this thread as I don't really follow the IPL and that there haven't been many international matches being played but now with the Champions Trophy coming up I'll be able to participate in this thread once again. I'm hoping that Australia can finally win their first Champions Trophy as this is the only trophy they are yet to win and the T20 world cup so I'm hoping this time they can win the Champions Trophy for the first time. I think it's going to be a great competition and it's hard to pick a winner.

IPL games and one-day matches are different so we can't say that whoever played well in IPL will perform better in one-day matches. In one-day matches, players will get some time to settle down before going for big hits but in T20 they need to start hitting from the first ball itself. So both are the totally different concept of games. But England also a good team so we can't predict who is going win this match. I believe the match will be good for cricket lovers to watch it.

This time England seems to be the perfect team to win the Champions trophy, they have a well-balanced team and Stokes has improved his performance as an all rounder.Another team that will surely be worth to watch are West Indies who are really good when it comes to short-form of the game.

My fav teams in Champions trophy is South Africa, India or Australia. Any of one team will win this Champions trophy. All 3 teams are in tremendous form. SA is playing now against ENG here we will get to how strong both teams are. And we can not predict Australia team based on normal series. In main events there winnings chances is high to compare normal series. let's see who will win this trophy.
