T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Chennai Super Kingsvs Kolkata Knight Riders

In the first match of IPL, Chennai has faced Kolkata. And batting first, Chennai gave a target of only 132 runs. I expected a score of at least 140 from Chennai. I don't think this run is enough to win. The Kolkata squad is strong enough. The Kolkata squad has T20 specialist batsmen like Rahane, Iyer, Russel and Sunil Narine. I think  Kolkata will easily today win by batting for 132 runs.

KKR can easily win this if they don't lose wickets but now CSK took the 3rd wicket and they don't have a player like Dhoni to handle such pressure. If they calmly play without taking risks, it's 1 run per ball which looks easy.

You are right. Kolkata batsmen do not need to take any risk at this moment. There are matches. Kolkata needs only 20 runs from 25 balls to win. And they have lost 3 wickets. The target of 132 runs is very small. It was necessary to provide a target of at least 150/160 runs on such a pitch. Iyer and Billings are batting now. Both are experienced batsmen.

Which team is hot favourite for IPL - how is it going in India are people excited about IPL.
As far as I know PSL was very much like and admired by Pakistani cricket fans. I think the same spirit is seen for the IPL as well. Someone please tell me which team is favorite for win. Thanks

Right now no team is favourite all are well-balanced, and good teams just watch matches and wait for some results after 2 or 3 rounds we can talk about favourite team. Currently, just enjoying this all good start in first match, even look like CSK is not good as they were few years back.

Due to busy schedule unable to watch first match of this new season and first match played having new captains with some good number of new and experienced players but very low scoring match CSK were completely out of touch lost very quick wickets but Jadeja and Dhoni give some better finish of their tumbling batting with score of 131 which were never been good to defend but still experienced campaigner Bravo done good job in bowling and take three wickets, but KKR chase this target very easily with lost of four wickets and 9 balls remaining good start hopefully we will have some very entertaining matches in coming days.
 
Tomorrow, we have two matches, first between DC vs MI at Brabourne Stadium Mumbai and second between PBKS vs RCB at D Y Patel Sports Stadium Mumbai.

IPL is the biggest franchise tournament in Cricket and if that is the case you very well know the answer about the excitement as anyone who love Cricket will be engaged for a full month. There are two new teams added to the tournament and Chennai Super Kings in the defending champion but Mumbai Indians is the favorite all the time, other than that it is hard to predict which team will win the tournament.

After end of first match now prediction is not easy as defending champions lost very badly after having very bad performance into batting and very good and quality performance from KKR predicting about favourite is not easy but as usual Mumbai, CSK and KKR can go through in good way until end of this league as these teams having very good quality and experienced players.

But, as others are mentions now with the two extra teams and length of this tournament is also going to have some big impact because weather is also going to be big impact with this all which team will be able to adjust in quick time they can win this year's title.

If someone asks from me then I am going with Mumbai and RCB as now RCB is also can do some better after dropping Kohli from captaincy.

By watching one match, we cannot express our opinion. Csk has enough time to recover their form. Mind game of Dhoni can change the result of any game. In this match, total run for CSK was so low that's why KKR won the match easily.

I remember Netherlands were part of world cup 1996 but still they couldn't get test status. Cricket badly needs more countries as there are only handful regular test playing countries. Cricket need to be spread out to EU, America,  Afrcia and South East Asia. Right now Cricket is among top sports only coz its popular in heavily populated countries of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

If Netherlands would have performed consistently then they would have got a Test status, countries like Afghanistan got their Test status recently and Bangladesh got it in 2000s and that is because they were able to perform in Test challenges and have a domestic set up to earn a Test status and if any associate team is able to follow the guidelines, i am sure they will earn the Test status.

T20 is a good set up where any country can create a team that is able to compete against any teams and if a country is able to find players that are competitive, then we can say it as a good start as getting a Test status is not that easy.

Awarding test status to Netherlands may be too optimistic at this point. Compared to other countries such as Scotland and Ireland, cricket in Netherlands have been on the decline for some time. There is no help from the ICC and with every passing year less number of native players are seen in club cricket. As per some estimates, around 70% of the players now in Netherlands are non-native (mostly from India and Pakistan). This trend will continue as locals continue to lose interest in the sport (Scotland and Ireland are far better in this regard).

It's mostly because of lose ICC regulations that countries are building teams of expats like we see UAE, Oman teams. If ICC has regulations that only native players can be part of team then this won't happen. In 21st century no new country has been given full test status only Afghanistan has got a partial status. New countries are only interested in T20.

It would not be reasonable to make rules that only domestic players would be in the squad. As a result, some new teams who are interested in cricket will also lose their interest. Cricket is not very popular in the world. So the ICC has to take steps to increase the popularity of cricket. Although they have formed squads with foreign players, gradually these teams will give priority to their local players in the future.

Delhi Capitals  vs  Mumbai Indians

What is your prediction about this match? My guess is Mumbai will win. Because the Delhi squad may have Warner and Marsh players. But they will be absent in this match. So if Prithvi Shaw and Rishab Pant can play well then maybe the result is likely to be in favor of Delhi Capital.

On the other hand, the performance of Mumbai Indians will depend on the performance of Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma and Bhumrah. Burma must play an important role if Mumbai are to win today's match. Because, according to statistics, pace bowlers have always got more chances in this field and have taken more wickets.

^^^ Congrats to Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah and Rizwan. It would have been even better if they were able to win the T20 World Cup of 2021.

Winning the world cup could have been good thing but the main highlight of T20 world cup was Pakistan beating the Indian team with full 10 wickets. That's was a memorable win which you should remember every time you think of T20 world cup.

No bro I am not going to watch the whole match every day because quite frankly I have a life.  I cannot just sit in front of the television and waste my valuable time like that. I might watch the finals and probably the semifinals the whole 40 overs but I am not going to watch all the matches.

I think looking at the score is enough information. people might say that I am not a fan of IPL, but in my opinion, my time is a lot more valuable.

I don't watch IPL because it is not broadcast in Pakistan on any sports channel but in days of PSL, I usually watch all the matches. We have a festival in PSL days as the TV is always on while the match is broadcasting and everyone in home keeps watching the matches and also do other work if necessary in front of TV.

Pakistan and India matches are always like having a battle in the ground with bat and ball. There is so much excitment about the India and Pakistan matches.
Also I have not watched the IPL as well so I don't know much ABOUT IPL. Someone please enlighten me about IPL and who are the fav teams.

Even i placed a bet on Mumbai to win the match consider how strong they are with their batting and the bowlers they have in their line up. On papers Delhi have a really good team but Warner and Marsh needs to get familiarize with the pitch conditions and it might take a few games for that to happen.

MI needs to score above 160 runs to be on the safe side and they have 3 more overs left and right now they have 137 runs of the board.

More 3 days to go start IPL 2022. All the matches will be the held in Mumbai and Pune. 10 good teams and all the giant of world cricketers will be there. Can't wait for the biggest festival of the year, best of the wishes for all the teams. I'm sitting tight for my top picks Sunrisers Hyderabad. Eager to watch them.

My local TV channel does not broad cast IPL. I want to know more about IPL and what exciting is going to happen.
Please keep us updated here. Or if there is anyway we can check online. Which is the best platform to keep a track of the IPL. Looking Fwd.

You can track the match from ESPN Cricinfo. Check whether you are able to watch using any streaming site. I am able to watch by purchasing a subscription from Disney Hotstar, check for alternatives whether you will be able to get any subscription service to watch the match.
Mumbai Indians is on route to win the match. Delhi Capitals is loosing wickets and there is no way they will be able to win the match from this situation.

Edit: Delhi Capitals won the match, never say never in the IPL  .

In my local sports channel will broadcast IPL all matches, not the first time but routine work as it has enormous interest. Because of physical job it's difficult to figure out how to watch IPL yet anyway we can score whenever check on the online. You can also keep track the update at facebook as well.

Now, we've a live match happening on between Delhi and Mumbai. A terrific start for Ishan Kishan unbeaten 81 runs helps Mumbai to reach 177 runs. Delhi will have to chase down 178. The expected run rate for Delhi is almost 11 runs, can they manage it?

Man I saw DC wanted some 60 odd runs from 30 balls and that also with just 4 wickets in hand and Lalit and Axar on the crease, if it would have been Russel or some other power hitter I still would have said that batting team does have a chance but with Axar on strike not for a single moment I thought DC could win this match but IPL is certainly uncertain, you see Axar hitting the best shots of his career and Lalit what a star performance by him too, the best bowling attack or IPL was nowhere in the game.

[7788bitcoin]

^^ Who would have thought Axar Patel would be the match winner with the bat.
Like i expected, it is really hard to predict the IPL matches, two of the matches i predicted today went down the drains because i thought Royal Challengers Bangalore scored a good total above 200 and i thought it is safe but the way in which Punjab Kings batsman are playing they will be chasing the score.

Ok, one wicket is gone, Siraj gave a breakthrough by picking the well settled Rajapaksa.

Axar Patel and Lalit's superb batting helped Delhi win, no doubt. But I am looking for the reason for Mumbai's defeat. There was enough collection to win 18 runs. I expected better bowling from Bumrah in this match. Because he is a very experienced bowler. So the expectations of the team and the fans were definitely higher than him. But his bowling was disgusting. If he could have bowled a bit more controlled, Mumbai could have won today.

Mumbai scored 177 runs. Their batting was not bad. Batsmen played well enough. But I said Bumrah should play well today if Mumbai Indians want to win. Bumrah could not play well. Among the bowlers, Bumrah's performance was the weakest. But if Axar Patel had not been able to play such a remarkable inning when the team needed it, the Delhi Capital could not have won.
