T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Too early to say whether Kohli is back in form or not.

This is very worrying sign for India and i hate to say that Kohli is turning out to be disaster.

He did score 80ish runs in last 2 matches but it wasn't typical Kohli's knock. He's considered master in rotating strikes in any situation but that's hardly a case nowadays, just look at his recent Strike rate.

I don't think India is going to worry that much because they do have players to substitute him. and as he is not in the form I really don't think there is any reason why he should be playing in the national team playing 11. he should play every match in the IPL so that he can show some light of hope but if he can not I think he should be dropped from the team.

I am still hopeful about Virat Kohli and I  think he is just putting too much pressure on himself and that's why his performance is not good at all right now. let's see what he can do in the IPL till the end of the tournament

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad


This match should be a 50-50 between both these teams because I think the teams are in the same type of form right now and it is really hard to predict which team is going to win today.
SRH has won the toss and decided to bowl first.
the lineup is pretty much identical,

The match is very important for both teams. Victory here will take SRK to top 4 while DC chances to make it to top 4 will be brighten if they won today's game. Good thing for DC is that Warner is still on the crease and there projected score right now is 164. If Warner can stay till 12th or 13th over then chances are DC may tough 180.

After 16 overs, DC are 147-3.
It seems like Warner will not give up soon, as he's in a revenge mood. David Warner reached his fourth fifty of the IPL 2022 while he is still batting. With a win today, Sunrisers will be four points ahead of their rivals in the playoff race. But, DC seems to have a different idea because they are also looking for a win.

For this to happen someone need courage and backbone, so that they can approach former captain and inform him that he's dropped from the T-20 squad due to poor run.

May be Rohit can pass the word but he's also not performing with the bat in T-20. Anyway i'm not worried about Virat's form in T-20 but Test format. I really want him to come back in the whites with daddy 100s.

Warner blistering 92 of 58 balls have set the stage for DC victory. SRH need 30 runs of 8 balls with 3 wickets in hands. Khaleel Ahmed and Thakur did the job with ball for DC. After this win DC will move up in points table but not in top 4 at the moment.

I find SRH to be unlucky, because in 13 matches Sunrisers Hyderabad have managed to win only one match chasing a target above 190 runs. In every match it have come closer, fortunately something unexpected happens in between and losses the match. In today's match I find the wicket of Sashank an unexpected and unwanted at that time. He unwanted connected the wide ball and lost his wicket, if not he would've contributed good which could've lowered the pressure at the end overs.

It is very difficult to win by batting for 208 runs. However, the players of Hyderabad tried their best to win. If the two batsmen of the opener could have played better, maybe Hyderabad could have won. When a team is batting for a big target, it is imperative that top order players contribute. Otherwise, victory becomes very difficult. However, Hyderabad were able to score 186 runs with the help of Marakram and Nicolas Pooran.

If BCCI is comfortable with Kohli current stats and have his spot reserved in national squad and same is done by RCB management then why King kohli need to worry. The way things are going I am sure kohli will continue this form till his retirement from national and ipl squad.

LOL.. it is too early to talk about Kohli's retirement. He has another 4-5 years left with the national team and a few more years with RCB. The situation is different from what we had a few years back, when Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain of the national side and the BCCI was looking forward to replace him with Kohli. As of now, there are no good replacements for Kohli. Rohit and Rahul were given their chances, and both of them failed. The BCCI maybe looking forward to having either Shreyas or Rishabh as the captain in the long term, but these two doesn't have the experience as of now.

That may be one reason Kohli is not worried about his current form. Rohit has just taken over capacity and he need atleast a year to prove that he is fit or unfit for the job. This also proves that no matter how good a player is you need to have one or two replacement ready to avoid such situations.

208 is definitely not an easy target. In this year IPL we have seen score of 150/160 chased mostly, above that score is rarely chased. But what a knock by Warner and Rovman Powell, they both have partnership of 122 runs. That's why I like T20 so much, it's entertaining.

Today Mumbai Indians will take on GT. Both are number one teams, GT is from top while MI from bottom. Its MI 10th game and so far they have won only one game. The shocking thing is that MI have most expensive player i.e. ishan kishan and there captain is Indian national T20 squad captain.

Gujrat Titans     -     Mumbai Indians

Gujarat Titans will play against Mumbai Indians today. Gujarat lost their last match against Punjab. Mumbai, on the other hand, got their first win in their last match. Mumbai is weak and unstable compared to Gujarat. Gujarat is still in a very good position. But since Mumbai have won the last match, they will want to continue the continuity. But a win against a team like Gujarat will be very difficult for Mumbai. I am keen to bet on Gujarat.

Virat Kohli is surely not retiring just because of him being in a bad form. he is going to keep playing and even though a lot of people suggested him to take a break I don't think he is going to. 

But in my opinion, what would be best for him is that he should play the whole IPL and see how he does. if he does well then he should keep meaning and if he does not he should certainly take a break. and I think there are a lot of replacements for him in the squad.

For this to happen someone need courage and backbone, so that they can approach former captain and inform him that he's dropped from the T-20 squad due to poor run.

May be Rohit can pass the word but he's also not performing with the bat in T-20. Anyway i'm not worried about Virat's form in T-20 but Test format. I really want him to come back in the whites with daddy 100s.

I think the youngsters that might replace Virat Kohli do have the courage to do so because we all know that young people are Fearless and that's why they can achieve great things that a lot of experienced people cannot. His being in the team at this moment with a really poor form does not make any sense at all.

Based on their data, Gujarat is far more successful than Mumbai. Mumbai Indians' last game was their first win, but they had previously lost eight in a row. Titans' success will depend on their ability to rebound from batting failures. The form of Hardik Pandya with the bat has been a cause for concern, but he has started the tournament strongly. Against his former team, Pandya would want to achieve victory.

GT have lost 2 games while MI have won only one game. GT are favorite for this game but you can't rule out possibility that MI can won the game too. MI White elephant, ishan kishan is yet to click along with captian Rohit. MI are looking for victories to end this season with some grace.

I have no doubt about that but...

Question is who will bell the cat? Surely not Sharma ji because he's also going through tough phase at least in IPL. Dravid and Rohit should team up if necessary otherwise i don't know.

Edit

Oh well Sharma ji ka ladka proving a point tonight.

I thought this match was going to be a one-sided one but GT chose to bowl after winning the toss and I have to say they are not doing a good job at it. 
Mumbai Indians are batting now and the score is 105 runs at the loss of 2 wickets. 11 overs have been bowled. If they can get anywhere near 200 I think they have a really good chance of winning this match.

I also don't think that Rohit Sharma is in any situation of saying something about dropping Virat Kohli from the team because obviously he is also not doing really well in the IPL and talking about such things can put him in danger. I think Virat Kohli should also think about this and make a decision otherwise he is just causing the Indian team problems than providing any solution.

Mumbai Indians are batting well today and probably this can be their second win in the IPL. But I am not so sure because it has only been 12 overs and Mumbai Indians have also started losing wickets.

Mumbai Indians are batting now and the score is 105 runs at the loss of 2 wickets. 11 overs have been bowled. If they can get anywhere near 200 I think they have a really good chance of winning this match.

Mumbai gave a target of 178 runs. That's enough to fight. But since the batsmen of Gujarat Titans are in good form. So it still seems that Gujarat is more likely to win. However, if Mumbai's bowlers can do well, Mumbai has a chance to win. But I don't trust Mumbai's bowlers. So far I have not liked the performance of Mumbai bowlers in any match.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Gujarat is batting for 178 runs. The performance of Mumbai's two openers was quite good. I thought Mumbai might collect more than '200 today. But they can't. At the end of 8 overs, Gujarat scored 72 runs. And they haven't lost a wicket yet. Wriddhiman Saha is unbeaten on 40 and Shubman Gill is unbeaten on 32. The match is now completely under the control of Gujarat. Gujarat will win this match as usual.
