T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Swordsoffreedom]

The performance of the Delhi Capitals seems very strange to me. Delhi lost their first wicket by 67 runs. Prithvi Shaw was dismissed for 61 off 34 balls. They lost Warner's wicket by just 2 runs. They lost the third wicket for 74 runs. They scored 86 runs in 12.5 overs, and they have scored only 19 runs in the last 5 overs. If Lalit and Rishabh Pant can play well then Delhi can give a big target. Otherwise, their innings will end before 150.

Delhi has given a target of only 150 runs. Lucknow needs just 7.5 runs per over to win. Experienced enough of Lucknow's batsmen. You should not face any problem to win by batting for such a low run. They have experienced batsmen like de Kock, Rahul and Lewis in their squad. Lucknow can easily win if any one of these three players can play well today.

The match is completely under the control of Lucknow. Lucknow's collection of 70 runs in 9 overs, and the funny thing is that they have not lost a wicket yet. KL Rahul is unbeaten on 22 off 22 balls and de Kock is unbeaten on 46 off 32 balls. LSG needs only 80 runs from 66 balls to win. If there is no miracle happen, LSG will easily win today. But I expected better bowling from the Delhi bowlers. Their bowling is disappointing me today.

Lucknow Super Giants need only 39 runs from 30 balls to win. De Kock's responsible batting has helped them reach the victory easily. De Kock is still unbeaten on 71 off 46 balls. The main reason for Delhi's defeat is their poor batting. Every batsman has wasted a lot of balls. For this too, they were able to provide only 149 run target. It is very difficult to win with such a low-run target.

Lucknow Super Giants have finally won the match by 6 wickets. Quinton De Kock single handedly won this match for this team. He scored 80 runs in only 52 balls. Prithvi Shaw from Delhi Capitals also scored 61 but that didn't helped his team won the match.
With this win, Lucknow Super Giants are at number 2 at the points table along with KKR and both of them have six points.

Delhi is facing some problem in middle order as they are not performing as they need to do for having some good target on board with this second lost hopefully now in next match they will do some good changes in batting order because it's early part of this season if they are unable to do bring some better changes then surely it's going to hurt them very badly. In presence of M Rahman and Nortie their bowling performance is also just average which is surely big concern for them because these both bowlers can do much better than their current form but with this current form they can face some very early exit from top position which could be big disaster for them.

Tomorrow we have another very exciting match between Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans with their first season in this league Gujarat Titans doing amazing job but still this is going to be an exciting match for all fans.

Though total run was not high but it was not easy win for Lucknow. After 18 overs, I thought that Delhi would win the match. Mustafizur Rahman was excellent in this first 3 overs but at the end of the match, he didn't ball well. Besides, batsman of Delhi didn't perform well except Prithvi Shaw.

The run wasn't high, and from my view this was an easy win. It looked like Lucknow delayed the win avoiding unwanted wicket loss. As the run rate doesn't differ much they're on the comfortable position to win the match. At the end overs with more wickets in hand we can't blame the bowlers. Anyhow new teams are topping the table whereas the more valued franchises were struggling to win.

Lucknow super giant team more strength than DC but totally run collection for Delhi Capital (DC) lower than wining target. So far I guess the total run if would be more than +180 then it would have highly possible to win but run under 150 very tuff to win the pitch...

Actually the Delhi Capitals bowlers did a pretty decent job (with the exception of Anrich Nortje), and if they had another 10-20 runs on board, then the outcome of the match would have been different. Delhi batsmen (Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan) put only 75 runs in the last 9.3 overs for the 4th wicket partnership. I don't know what held them back. They had a number of good lower order batsmen in their playing XI such as Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur. If these guys had an opportunity to bat, then DC could have made a total of 160-170.

Surely they were short nearly 30 to 35 runs in presence of two very good bowlers but currently their all unit is having some problems, and they are not performing as they need to be done with availability of Mustafizur and Nortie which was in good form in last season and may were feeling he will perform again in this way but sadly until now fail to give any good impression which is not signal for Delhi.

Batting is also having some concerns because their batmen need to do some better currently, just Prithvi Shaw is having some better form and others are not doing as they need to be in this competition where they have very few chances of survival with this current form. The two new franchise are doing good job which mean they also need to start their best if you want to stay alive until end of this round.

Just came across an interesting tour on espncricinfo.com, Uganda tour of Namibia. I didn't knew that Uganda also has a cricket team. The first T20I was played today between Namibia and Uganda, Uganda managed to play all 20 overs and scored 127 runs which were easily chased by Namibia. Both teams have players of native origin but due to icc policy they are behind teams of expats.

PBKS   vs    GT

In the match between Punjab and Gujarat, I chose the Gujarat team today. Because in the last two matches, they have shown stable performance in both bowling and batting and have won. But I was scared of Punjab's batsmen today. Because there were some great batsmen in the Punjab team. So at first Punjab got the batting I thought they would give more than 200 targets.
Agarwal, Sikhar Dhawan, Bairstow, and Livingstones are all very experienced batsmen for the T20 format. Livingstone returned to the dressing room today with 64 runs off 27 balls. At the end of 18 overs, they lost 9 wickets and scored 162 runs. Gujarat bowlers performed well. Even if Punjab gives a target of 180, Gujarat is more likely to win.

GT Has started really well. They already have 31 runs in only 3  overs.
That target is really big though, 190 is a huge total to achieve in T20 cricket but it really seems achievable if they keep playing like this.
Shubman Gill has scored 24 runs in 12 balls, he really seems to be aggressive in these innings early on. I think they are trying to take advantage of the power play overs.
So that the actual target becomes easier in the later stage.

GT are in very much position to win current match. Shubman Gill who is seen only in Test and ODIs is playing T20 innings of his life, he is not out on 90 runs. Gujarat Titans need 54 runs in 25 balls. Cant say PBKS is totally out from the match. Hardik Pandya has just checked in and GT need some big shots from him at the moment.

Shubman Gill will do today's hundred. He has been playing very well since the beginning of the innings. The target is large enough. And he is performing responsibly. Gujarat lost only two wickets. However, they have made the match quite difficult to win. They need 32 runs to win from 12 balls. Although Gill and Pandya are both very experienced batsmen in the crease, collecting 32 runs from 12 balls is not an easy task. Let's see if Gujarat can win today.

[LittleBitFunny]

What a great innings from Rahul Tewatia and Shubman Gill. It is only because of the exceptional batting of these two players that Gujarat has been able to win today. Shubman Gill scored 96 runs off 59 balls. With Sai Sudharsan wasting a lot of balls, Gujarat's victory was almost uncertain. He scored only 35 runs off 30 balls. Then Gujarat Titan was able to win this match for Rahul Tewatia's extraordinary innings of 3 balls 13 runs. In the last two balls, he hit two over boundaries to lead the team to victory.

Shubman Gill wasn't able to make the 100, but the team winning have happened out of the last two ball six from Rahul Tewatia. It was a win for Delhi Capitals, and things changed in no time. Anyhow this season is dominated by the new teams. The teams were performing big, and the big run chase is getting to be very common for them.

Aus were not with there main players in ODI and T20I because of the player rotation policy but still there new players put up a very good show. In ODI Pakistan chased down a target of 348 which is there highest ever target chased. In T20, Pakistan were controlled very well after a good opening stand of Babar and Rizwan.

May be Australia were too confident with the team, other than that i do not understand the rotation policy and how long they will rotate the team members and the players needs to sync to perform as a team. If they keeps on rotating players every series, it will not help them.

Rahul Tewatia changed the match upside down,Gujarat Titans needed 12 runs to win in the last 2 balls and Rahul Tewatia once again produced another stunning performance when everyone writes a team off.

Hardick Pandya and Gill both lost their wickets at very crucial time here PBKS was surely favorite to win this match and break winning streak of GT which is having their first season in this league but Tewatia was hero for them and done amazing job with two last ball sixes to give them third win of this season with this win now they are second in league table behind KKR which is also on same points but play one more match.

Now tomorrow we have two very exciting matches first match of day is going to play between CSK and SRH both are at bottom with their three loses from three match and this match can change fortune for winner because sometime teams need to win for having some positive change in their start. Second match is going to play between RCB vs MI which is also on three losing streaks and most chances they will face fourth lost as RCB is in good touch for this season.

It was totally surprising game for cricket lovers. What a match it was between PBKE and GT. From the very beginning of batting, GT was so confident to win this match. Gill played a important match for his team. At the last, Tewatia has done his job smoothly for winning the match.

[Sithara007]

Rahul Tewatia changed the match upside down,Gujarat Titans needed 12 runs to win in the last 2 balls and Rahul Tewatia once again produced another stunning performance when everyone writes a team off.

He had done this previously (in prior editions).. and he did it this time also. Rahul Tewatia is one of the most under-rated players in the IPL. That said, the bowler (Odean Smith) did a very poor job in defending the total, after an excellent 19th over from Arshdeep Singh. Ideally once Hardik Pandya got out in the first ball of that over, the Punjab Kings should have gained upper hand. But that didn't happened and Smith just threw away a match that they could have easily won. And the captaincy from Punjab (Mayank Agarwal) was pathetic as usual.
