T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Iranus]

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.

I can not believe Gujarat has been defeated today. They were batting for just 178 runs, and the opening pair scored more than 100 runs. However, Gujarat lost by only 5 runs. Gujarat lost in the last over due to controlled bowling by Daniel Sams. Gujarat needed only 8 runs in the last over to win. But in the last over, Gujarat managed to collect only 2 runs. I would like to give full credit to Daniel Sams for Mumbai's victory in today's match.

I think it was easy opportunity to win the match for Gujrat but they have lost against Mumbai. Opening partnership was so good for GT but they hadn't managed to win the match. I thought Miller could change the result of the match but he didn't play well for winning the match against MI.

I am also in shock after checking this result because as opening was going over 90 runs and no one out I leave this match and go out for some walk there was no chance leader lost his match in this way but after checking result and scorecard feeling some miserable because no clue they lost his match in this way against bottom side with many wickets in hand and many wickets still available with hard hitters are also in list, but they all fail to chase this target is having some shocking result for me and thousands others which were sure about GT is going to win this match without any problem.

In last over, Miller play three balls and have only one run is surely something special for me in this match and for result of this match.

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.

Kohli still need to do some hard work for staying into team because this is not good point for his to stay into team he is replaceable in all situations even he is experience person. But, one thing is sure selectors will never take chance against him until they have some suitable person for this position because recently they already replace Rahane and Pujara which were not good experiment, so they will take their time and try to have some good and solid player who can handle this position and team can also do some better with this all.

Few talented players are coming but still It's not enough for having all changes in team very quickly with they have some good responsibility of staying at top of tables as well.

Everytime same thing won't happen. It was one of the loveliest match. Watching the match throughout had some adrenaline pump. This happens just because of supporting Mumbai Indians. Gujarat Titans have already got into the playoff, atleast by now Mumbai Indians need to mark few wins, but they proved they're much dangerous with the blasting win that isn't expected by the Gujarat Titans.

Well.. I am glad that Mumbai finally managed to win one match. Now they have two wins from 10 matches, and the good thing is that they have won all two of their last matches. Along with CSK and KKR, they don't have any chance of qualifying to the next stage. But whatever they get in the next 4 matches will be useful for planning a strategy for the 2023 IPL season. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma made 40s, and this time batted with confidence. Tim David also scored a 44, which included 4 sixes. Bowling is still a worry for them, as Bumrah went for 48 runs without a wicket in his 4 overs.

Does not matter anymore with just one win they are not going to reach anywhere. This season was the worst in terms of performance by the MI. They invested heavily in a single player rather than investing in multiple players. That is why you need to diversify your portfolio. I am not sure whether they will retain Ishan Kishan and a few other players for the next season of IPL. Right now the fight is for the fourth position in the ranking table. PBKS players with RR today and this match might determine the fate of PBKS.

Mumbai Indians' management has made a mistake in choosing the right player for the team. They have spent a lot of money, yet the team is not stable. Their main weakness is that the bowling lineup is not strong. They may have wanted to strengthen the batting lineup. But players like Pollard and Rohit Sharma have not been able to play consistently well. Pollard scored 4 runs off 14 balls in yesterday's match. If he had batted responsibly, Mumbai would have been able to hit a target of at least 200. Players need to be more professional.

No one was expecting such outcome from MI in there match against GT. Odds were in favour of GT, those who placed bet in MI must have got high profit. The way GT started the chase 106/1, it was looking like they will win the match eaily. After openers GT lost the path and MI got the path to victory.

[JSRAW]

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 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.

That happen when some players become more powerful than the board or when institute lack decisive leadership. Even Sachin didn't enjoy this much of power despite being backbone of Indian cricket for so long.

PBKS - R Royals

This match is going to be a tricky one because PBKS  are behind in the points table and Rajasthan Royals seems to be playing well in this IPL but at the same time, Rajasthan Royals are not in a good form because they are coming back on a loss of two matches meanwhile PBKS  are coming back of a win. And that was also against the team that has achieved the most points in this IPL. so I think PBKS might win this match today.

BCCI hasn't dropped kohli despite his odd form for so many years, now kohli also knows that he can't be dropped. Rohit was retained by kohli in T20I despite his poor performance in T20 WC. Rohit is just paying back the favour to kohli. BCCI should try some new talent now to avoid further damage. 

[elevates]

PBKS AND RR, I think RR has a great chance to win the game since they are very close to completing their chase of the score built by PBKS 189, anyways they are already into 18th over and only need 9 runs in 10 balls.

PBKS made a good effort by giving a target of 189 runs. I was very much expecting PBKS to win the game but RR were too good with bat or you may say PBKS were not good with there bowling. Best thing about RR is that every batsmen that came for batting contributed his part very well.

Lucknow    vs   Kolkata

In the match between Lucknow and Kolkata, I chose the Kolkata team to place the bet. Lucknow provided a target of 177 runs. But Kolkata lost their first wicket on zero run, and collected only 25 runs in 6.5 overs and lost 4 valuable wickets. At the end of 11 overs though Kolkata collected 69 runs. Kolkata has very little chance of winning this match. Kolkata needs to score 108 runs from 54 balls to win.

Kolkata scored 79 runs in 12 overs. Andre Russel is playing very well. He has scored 39 runs from 17 balls. He hit 5 over boundaries. If he is stay at the crease, Kolkata will win. Narine is a good enough player. If these two players can form a good partnership, Kolkata has the potential to win. Otherwise Kolkata will lose this match

The match is very much towards Lucknow side as KKR at the moment need 78 of 38 balls with only 3 wikcets in hands. KKR is already out from this season while a big here will boost LSG confidence for next level. Finch is turning out to be a disaster just like kohli and ishan kishan.

When there is no better score at the powerplay overs then we can conclude this to be a losing match. With KKR during the first 8 overs KKR have scored just 30 runs losing 4 wickets. This isn't a good start. If there is a good start, then the middle order players contribution will help the team. Here without any performance from the openers and middle orders can't make the team win the match when there is continued wicket fall. Andre Russell tried the best and wasn't able to do what he thought.

It is so tough to win a match without the contribution of openers. Obviously middle orders play vital role for winning the match but openers should start very well. Russell was good and he played also well but unfortunately the contribution of Russell and Narine was not sufficient for winning the match against Lucknow.

Kolkata lost all their wickets for just 101 runs. I never thought Kolkata would play so badly. I thought Kolkata would be able to collect between 140-150 but after losing Russell's wicket by 6 runs, Kolkata lost all their wickets by just 15 runs. However, after winning just 4 of 11 matches, Kolkata are now eighth in the table.
