T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[WatChe]

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.

257 is never an easy target to chase specially if you are against LSG bowling lineup. Marcus Stoinis is simply unstoppable guy and he once again proved that he is most valuable T20 format player by scoring 72 runs on 40 balls. Punjab main batsmen Dhawan wasn't able to score much runs today but good knock by Atharva Taide. There are 9 bowlers used by LSG captain in today's game.

I would say it was a memorable match. The total collection of both teams in this match was 458 runs. And if Punjab Kings had not batted badly in the last two overs, their collection would have been bigger. In the last two overs, Punjab's batsmen managed to muster only 8 runs. No one expected Punjab to win this match. However, they had a chance to reduce the run margin further.
Punjab captain Shikhar Dhawan used his 7 bowlers in this match. But the more interesting thing is that LSG captain KL Rahul used all his 9 bowlers in this match. Except for Stoinis and Rahul, probably every player in the squad bowled in this match. We don't know why KL Rahul took such a decision.

I think this was a very easy pitch to bat on. If LSG would have made something around a 230 it could still have been chased by Punjab. It was just that pressure of extra 50 runs which PBKS couldn't sustain. With slightly less targets the batters would have had a better chance to see a couple of balls and then start hitting on this highway pitch. I feel franchisees should avoid such pitches as well. PBKS has best pace bowling attack and they struggled like 15 year olds, I don't even know what would have happened with less known bowling attacks.

The openers failed to score, but the middle order contributed well. Maybe if Dhawan along with the young opener Prabhsimran have scored good the match could've gone closer. At the end Sharukh khan failed to perform, everything is the pressure of high run requirement. Raza used to perform better in these kind of matches and today he played good, but more needed at that moment. The right time he started to takeoff and lost the wicket.

Closer? You have got to be kidding. Did you look at the target? It's the second highest IPL score so far which is why Punjab were out of the game before their innings even started frankly speaking.

They did reach a respectable total, but they would have required a miracle to get close to the target. LSG rose to the 2nd position in the table with that win.

[JSRAW]

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.

Tbh he should have received the Man of the Match award.

I quickly checked his batting stats and Lucknow winning this season and found out, the longer he bats his team gets into trouble and if he gets out in powerplay then his team wins or at least puts a very competitive total on the board.

There is a reason he got dropped and sacked as VC from the national team. No doubt regarding his talent, he's actually quite a gifted batter in the modern world but his mindset Jeez f*ck.

[Haunebu]

GT rose to the top after crushing KKR by 7 wickets. Shankar played extremely well and this team and season have proven to be a game-changer for him though I still feel that he is an average batsman overall.

SRH posted a good total, but it looks like DC might come close and lose. Let's see who wins the battle between the bottom teams.

SRH posted a good total, but it looks like DC might come close and lose. Let's see who wins the battle between the bottom teams.

Delhi Capitals almost had a chance to win most of the matches but they did not win at the end. Due to which Delhi Capitals have to be at the bottom of the points table. But in today's match both Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are fighting and both of the teams are the same category. Both have equal points so far. The points table may change based on the results of today's matches. Just need 63 runs from 33 balls. It is possible but it remains to be seen whether Delhi Capitals can do it or not.

[JSRAW]

It's good to see some changes in the Man of the Match award.

Before it was all about the winning team but this season they are handing out awards to the best performances of the match, results hardly matter and rightly so. I'd like to see this rule internationally too.

Pakistan vs New Zealand
 Team's 5th T20 match started today. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl. Now Pakistan came out to bat. Scored 97 runs in 12 overs. Pakistan lost 3 wickets so far. Mohammad Rizwan started a good game with batting. 35  Mohammad Rizwan scored 52 runs. And Iftikhar Ahmed scored 29 runs from 19 balls. In this match it seems that Pakistan will play well today. If Pakistan can play well then there will be a big chance to win this match. New Zealand team has many good players so I think  The game will be very beautiful.

New Zealand didn't get off to a good start but they had some good batting players. Their wickets fell during the powerplay but Chapman and Neesham were instrumental in the match-winners to ensure New Zealand victory. Pakistan started a good over at the start and later New Zealand got the win thanks to their fast bowlers. Pakistani bowlers scored the most runs in overs number 11, 12, 13, 14. Here E Chapman secures a century and their victory is assured. Out of five matches, Pakistan won two, New Zealand won two and one match was postponed.

Nz gave a 337 run target to Pakistan in today's match.
Pakistan already has won 500 one day matches.

DC tried there best today despite the fact that there skipper Warner was out for zero. Marsh and Salt both have partnership of 112 runs. Once the second wicket partnership was broken, wickets kept falling in regularly interval of time. No impact of today's loss on DC as they were firmly occupying the last slot of the points table. SRH are at number 8 position and they along with MI also have very rear chance of making it to next round.

However, Delhi Capitals bowling point is not performing very well. In the case of Sunrise Hyderabad, extra runs were scored as the only bowler could keep the batsmen under pressure as Sunrise Hyderabad won by just a few runs. In this case, even if Delhi Capitals were not under wicket pressure towards the last, they could not show a very good performance. Especially if Warner could have collected some runs then Delhi Capitals could have won this match because Delhi Capitals lost by just nine runs. Delhi Capital is at the bottom of the points table.

Delhi Capitals is predicted to win based on its opening performance, the continuous wickets of Salt and Marsh is the reason for the loss of the match. In every match Warner used to contribute and today he lost his wicket earlier. Delhi Capitals looked to be getting better as they won the last two matches. Once again missed the winning opportunity by a margin. In most matches Nortje used to perform well, today his bowling too isn't good.

I thought maybe Delhi Capitals would be able to continue their winning streak. They have won both the last two matches. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad were not in good form either. The team has lost in the last three matches. They could have won if the Delhi batsmen batted with some responsibility. Especially Warner could not collect any runs in this match. Although Salt, Marsh and Axar Patel played well, no other batsman performed well. Moreover, the bowling of Delhi bowlers was not good. Except for Mitchell Marsh, all the bowlers gave a lot of runs.

Delhi Capitals are the worst performing team in this IPL. So far they have not been able to recover from their poor performance. Their team management coaching staff are very experienced and legend persons and all the players that Delhi Capitals have got in their team are all world class players but it is a wonder why they are not performing well with such good quality coaching staff and world class players. Two wins to the name of Delhi Capitals is never expected. Delhi have never seen such a failure in any other IPL season. We expected Delhi capitals to win against SRH. But in the end, Delhi Capitals fought back and lost to SRH by just 9 runs. 

Mitchell Marsh had an excellent all-round performance for Delhi Capitals against SRH, picking up four valuable wickets and batting for a crucial innings of 63 runs for the team, but he failed to lead his side to victory. Delhi Capitals will be expected to do well in the next match.

The Delhi team is very strong. Rashu has talented players on the team. However, they have been performing poorly in match after match. Despite having experienced players like Warner, Marsh, Salt, Manish Pandya, and Axar Patel in the team, they are not playing well. In particular, I would say that the performance of the Delhi bowlers was very poor.

Mitchell Marsh had a great performance against Hyderabad. He played the required innings of 63 runs off just 39 balls. Also, he gave only 27 runs in 4 overs. At the same time, he managed to take 4 wickets. Despite his excellent batting and bowling, his team Delhi Capitals lost the match.

Pakistan won the match against NZ in their ODI 2 of 5 - Pakistan is leading with 2-0
NZ gave a target of 336 which Pakistani team achieved in 48.2 overs. Great team performance by Pakistan.

This season they are the worst team and I do not think they are a strong side. They have issues both in bowling and batting, none of their combination is working. I also do not understand why Sarfraz Khan is getting opportunities in every match. He was supposed to be the depth batter unfortunately, that is not happening then why give him a chance? Oh! I realized it is because of Dada.

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings

CSK are batting after winning the toss. At the end of power play CSK are 57 for no loss. Both openers are in good touch, Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored 30 runs on 21 balls while Devon Conway is not out on 23 runs on 15 balls. Its a crucial game for both teams but more important for PBKS as the tournament is heading towards end of group stages and a loss here means PBKS slipping down in points table. While a loss here for CSK might not have a lethal impact.
