T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Marvell1]

With the current situation on league table for me three teams are already in play-offs and now fight is on for just last spot because right now GT, RR and LSG are giving amazing performance and no other team is capable to beat them which is big advantage for them. Two big teams MI and CSK already out of competition because they completely fail to give any solid performance and two new teams doing good job with having top rank now RCB is unpredictable, and they are fighting hard for last spot, but they have to give their best if they want to reach in last four.

Bangalore has very low chance to qualify for playoff round. They are having the disadvantages for their negative net run rate. Delhi and Punjab has a match today. Both are favourite for the 4th rank now. They are in better position than RCB for their positive Nrr. Both teams has almost same chance to win the match today. The winner will get the 4th position in the leaderboard today. However, I think we need to wait for the result of last two games of group stage to know that who will be the 4th qualified team for playoff round.

If Delhi wins today's match I think they will be replacing RCB and going up to the 4th spot because they have a better run rate compared to RCB. Right now the first innings have been completed and DC has scored 159 runs in their allotted 20 overs at the loss of 7 wickets. I am not going to be too happy with this score because that certainly seems to be not enough in my opinion.

Trent Boult is the reason Lucknow Super Giants was not able to get a good start. He is such a good new ball bowler and could trouble any batsman and today he was in rhythm and he troubled everyone and picked wickets as well and gave Rajasthan Royals the confidence that if their batsman can score a decent run to defend, they have the bowlers to handle the rest.

Royal Rajasthan have very good season and in today match they have done good score without help of Jos Buttler which is another big achievement from them and after having very decent target of 178 their bowlers also done good job specially Trent Boult which is one of the best bowler with new ball have completed his duty and remove Quinton de Kock and Ayush Badoni in his second over which break backbone of LSG and after this shock they were never able to stable for this chase and lost this match by 24 runs and now stay at third spot of league table.

Even their play-off chances are still bright, but now it's time for them to have some better planning for last few matches as they are new and already done good job in this season.

Rajasthan Royals are playing really well and in the last match, they had a very convincing win. I think they are surely going to play in the next stage. They have shown really good performance in this IPL and I believed they will at least go to the finals.

yes, they did lose some matches that I did not expect them to lose but the good thing that they did is to keep the run rate well and that's why they are in the second position in the standing right now. LSG has done really well along with GT in spite of being the new team in the IPL.

Punjab kings is good with a good batting order. So, it looks like an easy winning for Punjab Kings. At the beginning of the Delhi Capitals innings it looked like score will reach above 200 runs. At the middle order the score didn't come up, and the Punjab Kings bowlers made use of the opportunity and restricted within 160 runs which is something an easy reachable target.

160 is easy target but don't forget teams are struggling to chase anything above 150 at the ending part of IPL. DC have got rid of Jonny Bairstow, he is out on 28 runs and it's 38/1 after 4 overs. PBKS need wickets quickly if they wanna win this game.

[Sithara007]

Right now, the Punjab Kings need around 9 runs per over. The problem for them is that Jonny Bairstow is gone. And Lalit Yadav had a golden opportunity to run out Shikhar Dhawan and it was missed. Delhi need to make use of these opportunities, and the missed chance probably cost them the match. Both Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are in form batsmen and if one of them would have been dismissed cheaply, then Delhi would have been in driver's seat by now. And let's not forget the fact that this is a must win match for both the sides.

Shardul Thakur have given the right break at the right time taking the wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Shikhar Dhawan who were to lead the team towards reaching the target after the fall of Jonny Bairstow. Now Punjab Kings have lost 6 wickets scoring 67 runs. This is a winning for Delhi Capitals and Punjab have missed the opportunity.

It was a very enjoyable match. The target of 160 runs on such a pitch was not enough to win. On the other hand, Punjab's batting lineup is very strong. Punjab's batsmen have played great in the last few matches. But today their performance was weak. After losing two openers, no other player could play well. At the last minute Jitesh Sharma played a beautiful innings of 44 off 34 balls but it was not enough to win. Punjab still need 29 runs from 13 balls to win. However, there is no good batsman in the crease now

It's all over for Punjab now and it's because apart from Jitesh Sharma and Bairstow nobody took the responsibility. Four wickets for Shardul Thakur and with this win 18 runs win DC have kept alive there chances to make it to next round. For PBKS it's very much over now.

Delhi Capitals VS  Panjabs Kings

Today's match between Delhi and Punjab was an exciting match. The way Delhi won the match with a target of only 160 runs is really commendable. Punjabi's collection in the first 5 overs was 53 runs. Only 107 runs were needed to win 90 balls. However, Punjab lost the match by 17 runs. Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel's controlled bowling helped Delhi win the match. Delhi are now fourth in the points table. Perhaps they will be able to qualify for the next round.

PBKS should have won the match, as they were given a good start by Bairstow. Once Bairstow got out, DC never allowed PBKS batsmen to get settled and keep on taking wickets. One reason why DC gave a low target of 160 is that Warner got out on very first ball.

Even after the wicket on the first ball Delhi Capitals continued to score good till the tenth over. After the tenth over the run rate started to fall and in the last five overs Delhi wasn't able to make good runs. Myself expected atleast 180 runs. In today's match a twist happened and David Warner might've felt bad of it. David Warner was on the runner end, and looking the option of Livingston to bowl the first over David Warner took the batting side and caught out on the very first ball to Rahul Chahar.

[Sithara007]

Right now, it is very interesting situation as far as the points table is considered. Gujarat, Rajasthan and Lucknow have already qualified. Delhi and Bangalore are having 14 points each, and one of them can qualify to the next round if they win their last group match. Kolkata and Punjab are having 12 points each and they have a remote chance of proceeding to the next round, but both Delhi and Bangalore need to lose their next match. The run rate may come to play after the last round of matches are over. LSG and KKR are having +ve Net Run Rate as of now.

At the early stage of the match when Warner was out for a duck I felt DC will lose this match and again Marsh was a saviour for DC. None of the batters have contributed like Warner and Marsh have done for DC in this season. Considering this was a bowling pitch DC was able to score more than 150 runs. PBKS gave a good fight till the end but they have been inconsistent throughout this season.

Somehow the competence is between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals. RCB have low run rate and it is to play against Gujarat Titans. RCB in its previous match versus Gujarat Titans lost by six wickets and 3 balls left reaching a target of 170 runs. To win the match against Gujarat Titans, RCB needs to make better plans. On the other side Delhi Capitals is to play against Mumbai Indians which is also a hard fight, but Delhi Capitals having net run rate makes it have a win whereas RCB needs a big win.

Delhi Capitals bat first and had early blow with David warner but defeated Punjab Kings by 17 runs and inch closer towards playoffs as they moved to fourth place in the points table.  Mitchell Marsh hit a half-century, and scored 63 off 48 balls with four fours and three sixes while Sarfaraz Khan also made useful contribution to take Delhi capitals win the game.

Delhi won because of the good performance of the bowlers. The performance of the bowlers was awesome. In particular, the performance of every spin bowler was good. That is why Delhi won by 17 runs despite the low target. However, I expected Delhi to win, and I bet on their win.

Sunrisers Hyderabad V Mumbai Indians

Which team do you think is the favorite between today's Hyderabad and Mumbai? I think the two teams are of the same quality. I say this because Hyderabad has lost the last 5 matches. They are now eighth in the points table. . Mumbai, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the points table. However, Mumbai's performance in the last few matches was quite good. And so it seems to be a bit difficult to predict about this match.

And so it seems to be a bit difficult to predict about this match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad set a target of 194 runs. But batting well from the start of the innings, I thought Hyderabad would easily cross 200 runs. But they have collected only 193 runs. They have managed to collect only 12 runs in the last 2 overs. If more than 200 targets could have been given, Hyderabad would have been more likely to win. Now I think the match will be competitive. Mumbai's batsmen are in good form now.

I think RCB will surely feel the importance of a better net run rate. They really need to win Big otherwise they will not be able to go to the next stage. Unless of course, Delhi Capitals lose and RCB wins. I don't think Delhi is going to lose the match which is going to be basically the decider. RCB surely has the harder match compared to DC and I don't think they will be able to win very big to make their net run rate better.

If Hyderabad is not unlucky then Hyderabad will win today. Because Mumbai may have played better in the last few matches. But so far this season, Mumbai's highest collection is 186 runs. It is very difficult to win by chasing such a big score. But if Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are able to make a good start then Mumbai's chances of winning will increase.
