T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Vaskiy]

~
Pakistan biggest issue in t20 cricket is lack of best hitter. Pakistani openers Rizwan and babar are not suitable for t20 match. They wanted to score with ball which is considered bad in t20 format. This is the reason Pakistan very rare you will see Pakistan team 200+ score. Their bowling lineup is strong but you cannot win t20 matches without hard hitters and these hitters should be consistent in scoring.

Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are their best players even in the recently concluded PSL, they are not having the best strike rate but they are consistent players. May be they can shift their batting positions or one can be the anchor and the other can start smashing the bowlers from the start. May be a lack of team planning is the reason because they have some quality players but not able to perform during crucial moments.

 

For now the opening is good, if the opening pair gets disturbed even the start of the match will have inconsistency. For now it is believed that the two will give a solid opening. For now it is a must to develop a player, so that opening score can be carried further by the following players. Atleast the following players should be good enough to score runs at the strike rate of 150, but they play as like playing ODI. The bowling line-up is good, but not the best. So, the bowling line-up should be made the best or the batting needs to be improved.

I hardly watch matches there, maybe some Women's cricket here n there, that's it. Tbh I find their quality quite good as far as streaming is concerned with virtually zero lag, maybe they also use 60 fps similar to Amazon/JIO.

Video/audio quality depends on the main broadcasters/providers of events. These folks direct their feed towards FANCODE so can't blame the FANCODE.

Yeah... same here as well. I watch a few matches when I feel really bored. But in case you are used to the high quality streams from SONY LIV or Amazon PrimeVideo, then it will take some time to get adjusted to the low quality in FANCODE. But I agree, the quality can differ widely depending on the main broadcaster. In most cases though, they have just 1-2 camera angles, and the quality is not that great. But given the variety and lack of downtime, after 1.5 years of being a subscriber, I am satisfied with their service.

Same! As far as Thala is hitting some maximum and playing 10-15 balls, it's all blockbuster. I won't mind even if they lose the match.  

I am the biggest fan of two Indian cricketers, the first one is Sachin Tendulkar and the next is MSD. These two guys have changed the face of Indian cricket. I am praying every time whenever CSK plays that MSD comes up in the batting order till now it has not happened. I hope he does it today and we can again see him delivering what he was known for in his international career. 

Even in yesterday's match Dhoni disappointed the audience crowd. Another thing in very rare occasions Dhoni used to loss his cool action. In yesterday's match as the Rajasthan Royals keeps scoring without loss of wickets, and the fielders were making mistakes Dhoni lost staying cool. It looked like he stared few players making mistakes while fielding. Once again captain cool have lost the match against RR.

[pakhitheboss]

RR spinners helped them win the match against CSK. I also never expected RR to set a target of more than 200 runs. All thanks to Dhruv Jurel & Devdutt's agressive batting in the end. For CSK the bowling was very sloppy & so was the fielding in the last 5 overs.

What impressed me was the power packed agressive hitting of Shivam Dubey. He has be consistent for the last three matches. If Devon Conway had played well then the outcome of yesterday's would have been different, I guess.

Ghanta Bc  Na Dhoni aaya na match jeete lol

But yeah, Dubey ji going well this season, a real spin basher and doing justice to his hard-hitting talent. Although he still needs to do a lot more work against seamers if he wants more recognition.

I also took a subscription last year, cheap price and it's worth it so agree.

Ideally, they should send Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali ahead of Shivam Dube. But during yesterday's match these two came to bat when the target was out of grasp for the Chennai Super Kings. After the initial 10 overs, the CSK required run rate was close to 13 runs per over, thanks to some ultra-slow batting by Devon Conway. I don't know what was going through his mind, but Conway is the no.1 reason why they lost yesterday. Sub-standard bowling played it's part for sure. Akash Singh and Tushar Deshpande represent perhaps the weakest opening ball pair for any of the franchises.

Why would they remove Shivam Dubey from a batting position where he has been very effective? He has scored 3 consecutive half century playing in that position. The CSK ballers have been quite effective. I guess you did not see the last few overs when Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal, were hitting boundaries on a yorker ball. it was their exceptional batting that helped RR get over 200 runs otherwise the target would have been in the range of 170 - 180.

Akash Singh and Tushar Deshpande indeed represent the weakest opening ball pair but their stats are changing rapidly. Devon Conway was out after playing just 16 balls I do not think he wasted a lot of balls. The problem was the middle overs when Adam Zampa and Ashwin started bowling, this led to the asking RR going above 10 runs an over. CSK lost a total of 5 important wickets to these two spinners. It was the spin bowling attack that caused CSK to lose the match.

That's alright. But I feel like with time they should improve the quality. After all the business is earning more and more money as days go by. The service that they have given till now was ok considering the time period. But with the growing competition in the market, they should improve themselves. Otherwise, some other competition is going to do it better and also get a better deal for broadcasting.

Right now, I don't think that there is any real competition for FANCODE. Other OTT platforms (Jio Cinema, Hotstar, SONY LIV, Amazon Primevideo.etc) are focused on international and high profile franchise T20 leagues. Fancode is the only platform that focuses on little known tournaments such as the Mizoram T20 League and Capricorn Womens Quadrangular Series. Their viewer-base is not very large, but it's quite loyal. A lot of people use Fancode to place bets on little known leagues and follow the matches live to see how their bets turn out.

[humanvelocity]

I’ve come across few people being really mad at Dhoni for sending Moeen Ali and Jadeja to bat instead of himself coming to bat, Which I don’t disagree but I think some of you all really under estimating how much of a game changer Jadeja can be in those situations because we’ve seen it in previous season where he scored around 37runs in an over or something. We all love dhoni and  don’t hate me for saying this but his time is up and even he knows that which could be the reason why he understands and avoids being in that place himself.
Dhoni is only the brain of CSK but he doesn’t add much value to the batting lineup as some of you all like to believe.

But they do want to be a bigger platform right?

And if the one is to be a bigger platform they will have to focus on international and high-profile cricket later on. At that time there will eventually be a lot of competition. And people who watch cricket matches regularly to place a bet or people who have a lot of free time always care about higher quality.

So, as long as they keep broadcasting as a small-time platform I don't think they will face too many problems. But if they want to get bigger they will start facing competition and they will also have to provide better quality.

[Haunebu]

Lucknow vs Punjab underway. Am expecting Lucknow to win this one as long as other batsmen support Mayers properly. Rahul is playing slowly once again. He seriously needs to improve his strike rate asap.

Also, it looks like Dhawan is back which is great news for Punjab. Let's see if they are still over-dependent on him or not.

Edit: Lucknow batsmen are on fire. They had the chance to break the highest score IPL record, but Arshdeep bowled a great final over.

[JSRAW]

And we are back to another KL masterclass  

The dude showed some intent after so long and got a lifeline at a point in the first ball ( some might say tactical drop from Punjab lol) and he's back to his usual mode for the rest of the over. True meme lord, I reckon. Now I watch him for comedy.


Edit
Arey yeh launda toh off script ja raha hai aaj.

lol, he's gone but at least he tried to play his shots tonight, which is nice.

Bro be kind and polite to KL! He is one the many talents that India has but his Godfather is Sunil Uncle. However he bats in this season or the upcoming, he will get everything thing he ever dreamt of because of Shetty Anna. KL has been so chill with his captainship of LSG that he forgot other teams have been experimenting new captain. He is very overconfident about himself.

[Bitcoin_people]

The batting performance of LSG in today's match is worth watching. 147 runs 2 wickets in 12 overs LSG's run rate has increased tremendously in today's match. Kyle mayers batsman his batting performance was great he got out later with half century. But the way LSG started batting performance at the moment they are sure to win today's match if the run rate continues like this. If batsman Ayush Badoni and Marcus stoinis is playing well enough for the team to stay like this then there is a possibility of LSG scoring 250+ runs today. And if Panjab Kings have to win today's match then LSG must take the wicket right now.

Lol i do like Shetty Anna (due to his work -Hera Pheri-) but i feel he got conned by KL lol (Just kidding)

Look at the score, he's getting out early turning out to be a huge blessing for Lucknow. Every pinch hitter getting a fair chance and scoring beautiful runs, although this pitch is belter but you have to play your shots. Idk what's the highest score in the IPL but they do have a chance to touch the 250 mark tonight.

The scoreboard wouldn't touch 210+ runs if KL Rahul didn't get out early. He was still playing in his 'slow and steady' mode even though it was a batting friendly pitch. Anyway, the highest score was 263 runs in IPL history. LSG has scored 257 runs today, which is the second highest score in IPL history now. There is no chance for Punjab to win the match by chasing this huge target.

The 38th match of IPL is probably the highest scoring match in IPL history. How is it possible to get 257 runs by batting 20 overs? What Lucknow Super Giants have done today. I highly doubt that those who were in the gallery today as visitors have seen any boundaries like today? The 15th over of the match is over and now Punjab Kings is losing. At this point Punjab Kings need 106 runs off 28 balls which is a tough equation and an almost impossible. Today's match may be memorable match in IPL history. Almost new records are created in every IPL session.

The pitch was batting-friendly. And the batsmen managed to score a lot of runs very easily. LSG's 257 runs were probably the second-highest in IPL history. As every batsman in the team batted well, LSG managed to collect a huge total of 257 runs.

If the batsmen of Punjab Kings were able to bat well from the beginning of the innings, they could have collected runs close to 250. But they lost the wickets of the two openers quite quickly. Apart from Taide and Sikandar Raza, no batsman can stay at the crease for long. Even then, Punjab managed to collect 201 runs.

With the win in this match, the LSG team is now second in the points table with equal points with Rajasthan. If Gujarat can win their next match then Gujarat will occupy the top spot in the table. Rajasthan and LSG will be second and third in the table respectively.

Lucknow Super Giants beat Punjab Kings by 56 runs. The LSG performance in today match. It takes a lot of effort to score 257 runs in 20 overs the Marcus Stoinis knock of 72 runs in just 40 balls was impressive. The team success was greatly aided by the 4 wickets taken by Yash Thakur and the 3 taken by Naveen-ul-Haq. The Lucknow Super Giants enormous score was too much for the Punjab Kings to overcome, despite A. Tade heroic effort of 66 runs in 36 balls.

LSG had the better performance in this match as they won by a score of 56 runs. It would be interesting to see if the Super Giants can maintain this level of performance throughout the rest of the season because it was a genuinely memorable encounter. The player of the match is Marcus Stoinis for his amazing with the bat and ball 72 runs in just 40 and picking 1 wicket Outstanding Performance.
