IPL( Indian Premier League) Prediction Thread, 2018.

[supermine]

MS Dhoni, take a bow! What a phenomenal knock played by this Veteran after having severe pain in the lower back. I had no clue that CSK would come this close to KXIP. It was amazing to see Gayle get off to a flying start and bringing a Gayle Storm to Mohali.
KXIP are definitely top contenders for the finals this year. They have a really balanced squad and if Gayle and Rahul get going, I don't think anyone would come in their way.

Yes the match went to close if they have one ball more then the match will be in other side but in between match the CSK made a little mistake in my opinion.The had to send Bravo infront of Jadeja because Bravo is powerful hitter and man in form so if he came before then the match maybe turned into their side but definitely its a big knock from Dhoni but still that failed by four runs.And it is good to see Chris Gayle hitting big knocks too.

Another unexpected loss for CSK, before the match i thought they will be winning the match because of the team they have and Dhoni played a great entertaining innings and they would have pulled this match too if they had a couple of balls, the fact is Sharma bowled well as he had three dot balls in the final over that changed the match.  

Sanju Samson was the star in that match as he really blasted the RCB ballers as he hit 10 sixes in 92 not out innings and due to which was awarded the man of the match. Kohli made the half century was not enough to chase that score.

It was another surprising defeat even with a very strong team, Samson played a great innings and he should get some exposure in the national team if he could maintain the consistency.

Samson is a very good batsman, but right now there is no spare place for him in the national team. In order to be considered for the senior XI, he needs to perform more consistently. The same goes for other young batsmen out there, such as Karun Nair and Lokesh Rahul.

Playing in IPL is different condition then playing in International cricket because IPL is played in Indian grounds and all are familiar with it but when you play with International teams in other country that is the time it is tested their playing performance. Sanju Samson and more players also got chances to play for India against International team but they were not able to perform well.

Everyone is telling that if CSK got 1 ball they would have won it what if that extra ball also goes dot or only single or double run only scored. Not always that CSK will chase all big scores. They got this much position is also a big thing and Dhoni played a good knock.

well said, and last over 3 dot balls played by Dhoni if anyone ball Dhoni hits boundary they would win this game. why can't people think like this? I appreciate dhoni effort but Punjab deserved this victory they played on outstanding cricket. Congrats Punjab.

Today we have match b/w DD vs KKR both teams are strong don't know who will win any guesses in this match?

I think there hasn't been any wicketkeeper batsman coming up from India just because of the dominance which MSD carries with him. We do have many options for a wicketkeeper but never needed one. Coming to today's match KKR has a great chance of winning today. DD do have recovered with their form with Gautam Gambhir and Rishabh Pant coming back in form but I still feel KKR have a better lineup to show off their skills. So my bid for the day is on KKR for sure. But will cut loss soon if I feel any profit coming in.

Watching the DD vs KKR match right now... Trent Boult is just unplayable... After his average performance during the last match, it looks like he has regained his form.

[DU18]

KKR have scored 200 against DD today.KKR batsman was fabulous on thehe field today.Russel and lyn both played well.DD now lost 3 wickets for 31.DD need a big partnership at the moment.I think KKR will seal the match easily. They deserve to win the match.

This was the worst match till now we have seen as DD could not compete and reach anywhere near KKR score. DD lost by 71 runs margin which is huge in T20 matches and KKR where exceptional today in all department due to which they won easily.

Yes it was a very poor performance from DD team, i thought they will play a good fight back innings but they got all out just for 129 runs. only 2 batsmen scored double digit. KKR side Superb batting from Russell. Rana and Uttappa and bowling from Narine and Yadav both picks 3 wickets each.

KKR just came back in the season with huge run difference, 71 runs. It will surely put positive effect upon there NRR and standing if things get trickier at the end, like same points. KKR had to play like this, as they lost 2 previous matches, one of which was a sure win. Russell and Rana, mind blowing batting skills, other than Narine, but today Narine Magic from his bat was missed, never mind, enjoyed the other ones. DD team lacks huge run chaser it seems.

Initial time made everything bad to the Delhi daredevils team mate. I have seen that for 3 overs they lost 3 wicket and made 30+ runs on the board. I do not think that time itself we will not find the winning moment.
Gauti's knock I have missed in this match too. But when he was in KKR team he use to play most of the winning knocks for that team. However I believe Glen maxwell done good job to bring the team up but unfortunately nothing works on it.

[Sithara007]

As of now, Sunrisers Hyderabad is the only team which remains unbeaten. Kolkata Knight Riders also looks quite strong (despite losing 2 out of the 4 matches). My prediction is that one out of these teams will be the winners of this season's IPL.

You cannot come to the winner conclusion so soon because what if SRH lost other matches. It is true that they are well balanced team with bowling and batting.

Today match between MI vs RCB both team are not able to gain form, MI lost all match inspite of posting good score and same RCB only won 1 match and lost 2 match with having big names they were not able to post a good team work to win matches. So today this two team will be tested of who deserves the last spot in IPL 2018.

Last three matches first batting posted good high score and defended it, if same trend then today who ever comes first batting will post good score and defend it.

MI is batting they lost 2 wickets in 1st 2 balls but after this Rohith and Lewis are batting well. They scored 56/2 5 overs. If they continue same batting i think they will easily make 190 plus runs. except for Umesh Yadav RCB bowling is very weak let's see how they control MI run flow. I think MI will win this match.

We are still in the early season of IPL so it is now hard to say these teams will win the trophy because many players will get into form after few matches so the teams will perform well after three or four matches normally the MI will lose first five matches in the last five years but still they manged to win the trophies and enters into playoffs so we need to wait and lets see who will win the trophy in 2018.If you ask me I will say it will be CSK.

Since I am very much fond of Dhoni and Raina So I always in the support of CSK side. But trophy winner is already pre fixed one IPL series so far. We do not need to define who is the winner for trophy. Instead of that check the best player for the season.
That might be interesting one than the trophy winner expectation.
Are watching the match today. After Rohit's knock now Virat started doing his captain innings mate.

If they continue same batting i think they will easily make 190 plus runs. except for Umesh Yadav RCB bowling is very weak let's see how they control MI run flow. I think MI will win this match.

With the kind of start they had, i thought RCB will win the match, but Rohit Sharma played really well and took the team above 200 runs but RCB had the team to chase that score but they could find the right balance still even with great players in the team, they need to perform as a team if they are to make it to the top four as Kohli cannot win matches alone with huge scores on the board.

As you said one or two men can't win a game for you because cricket is a 11 players game so everyone have to perform if team wants to win.But really great batting from Virat Kohli,just playing like a lone warrior among the 11 enemies and he scored 90+ scores so from that even a champion batsman can't win if others failed to perform.
