IPL( Indian Premier League) Prediction Thread, 2018.

[goku19]

CSK scored 205 runs against RR.A wonderful batting performance from CSK batsman.Specially Watson made 106 runs from 57 balls.Raina also played good.RR needs to bat well if they want to seal the match.No doubt it won't be easy but RR have Rehane,Stokes who can turn the match to their sides.

As I said CSK won the match,the kings won the match in their style by crushing the opponents in both innings by both bat and by ball.Watson is the main man for the victory and that is a good team effort by CSK.RR really need to make some changes in their team because their Opening overseas batsman is not firing up the innings that is the reason for their innings collapse.

Ya I agree with you that they need to change their opening pair... I think Rahul Tripathi should open the batting for the Rajasthan and klassen should come in the middle order as he is a much better player of spin

Wonderful batting and after that bowled fabulously well. Each and every bowler bowled well taking a wicket atleast except Jadeja, who went for a single over. Watson of CSK was enjoyable to see him bat, just like Gayle storm the other day.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. Rajastan Royals had the option to retain Shane Watson right? But they declined that and instead chose to retain Steve Smith (who got banned for ball tempering). Am I correct here?

They picked steve smith over the Shane watson because of age factor,now Shane watson is 35+,but the Steve Smith is young fire power but yesterday Shane Watson proved that he is still capable of playing big innings by scoring century in 51 balls with more than 200 strike rate.But RR is in danger now because they are missing Smith because he is an wonderful player but banned because of ball tempering so they signed contract with other players but still they can't make big innings yet.

Not only this is applicable between these aussies. If you check all the matches from the starting day. All the old players and very new players only contributing to the team well. Other people does not make well in anything even in bowling too.
First Dhoni, Next Chris Gayle and Then Watson. Old says they are gold ever.
Today also Devillers kicked out the DD team from the focus dude.

It is good to see Shane Watson and Gayle coming back to form, they were not performing that well for some time, Smith is facing punishment in international cricket for ball tampering but no one banned him from playing the IPL but they have taken the decision not to play the IPL along with Warner because of the situation they were in.

Today also Devillers kicked out the DD team from the focus dude.

It was Mr 360 performance, what an incredible innings and the ease at which he performs is incredible.

When it comes to sports the old will not always be gold, if that is the case we should bring back Viv who i think is the best batsmen of all time when it comes to attacking cricket. Good to see them perform, actually Watson retired from international cricket to focus this career on these T20 leagues around the world and that is the case with many players as the payment is fancy and the work load is small.

Welll I say it is true too , OLD IS GOLD but obviously not too old  . Take Dhoni , Watson in cricket and Federer in tennis and Buffon in soccer and many more players in various sports who are proving that age doesn't matter as long as they have the will power to perform well.

I partially agree with you. But it seems like Rajastan Royals preferred Steve Smith over Shane Watson due to the age factor, which was plain wrong. The only thing that should be considered is the talent and the form.

Whatever the reason maybe but they have picked the wrong person who can't even play in a game,so they wasted their one ratains.But Smith was a great player too but what he did was unaccepetable so he kicked out.As someone said Yesterday ABD won the match for RCB so they are answering age is not a matter the skill is very important in any form of game.

Today's match 1 : CSK vs SRH

Now CSK is batting first, initially the chennai batsman struggled and only made very little score in the powerplay but later Rayudu made the change in the game.But unfortunately he got run out,still chennai have firepowers so i think they will make 170 in 20 overs.I am on the side if CSK because SRH have bad batting line up.

As soon as I saw the score after 10 overs , I bet huge on CSK since the odds were big and I knew Dhoni always has plans for this kinds of matches and they are playing strategically . Now it looks very well for CSK as SRH need 89 runs from 37 balls and not many big players remaining ( already they have lost 4 wickets ) .

It was a really close match, Dhoni changed his bowlers really well and they took crucial wickets of Kane Williamson and Yusuf Pathan when it matters and it was really close till the last ball as Rashid Khan took the team closer and they lost by just four runs, he wasgiving away more runs while bowling in the last two matches and he had to bowl a better line as he is the strike bowler with an economy rate below 6 but in the past two matches gave away 12 runs per over and it had an impact in the team.

As a player he can't do that in each and every matches if a team only rely on his performance then this will going to happen.But he is the better bowler than he was doing last two matches just two bad days for him.But this match was turned by Ambati Rayudu when SRH was in commanding position after 6 overs.That is really very close match and very good to watch too.

That is why I like Dhoni as a captain. A captain should not be choose just on the basis of his own performance but based on how well he could manage the available resources. As the captain of Indian team, he gave us a lot of young players who are doing wonders now.

Exactly true , I was wondering why Dhoni didn't come after Raina , why did he send Rayudu instead of him but well who can doubt the mastermind of Cricket . The way he analyses things and implements during matches is incredible , even the 17th over , if any other bowler had bowled it out instead of Bravo CSK would have lost .

But however this idea works better. Today Raina batting is not up to the mark to speak. To say exactly he wasted the 7 overs and made 52 runs on the board for him. Then after he reached 40 runs he did not played for team at all.
He looks to safeguard him to make the half century.
I think sam billings came on the place of Raina. We may find the better score on the board. CSK won however now no need worry at all.

Raina just ruined his career with that pathetic display. IPL is not like ODI cricket. In ODI, you can waste 20-30 balls and still lead your team to victory. But IPL is different. If you waste 20 balls, then your team will lose the match.

It is too early to write off Raina. He is just 31 years old and you guys are forgetting a very important fact. Suresh Raina is the highest run-scorer in the history of the IPL with a total of 4,658 runs from 165 matches. He has scored a total of 32 half-centuries in the IPL.

Raina is best player at number three position even he is better than Virat Kohli at T20 game,so don't underestimate him.He is not wasting the ball he is steadying the inning while the wickets is falling even Dhoni will do the same that is what smart cricket,even they can hit big boundaries at the end of innings so what they need to do is keep wickets in hands.But CSK have powerful batting line up.So if Raina fails someone will make that day that is the sports.
