T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[BobK71]

Delhi Capital's performance was very good from the beginning and the end was also very good. Although Delhi Capital's batting has performed very well, their points are at the bottom due to which they will not reach the final knockout even if they win. But Punjab Kings started with fall of wickets and they lost by huge runs in the last minute and the number of wickets also fell. But I think Delhi Capitals good bowling performance forced Punjab Kings to lose at the last minute.

Liam Livingstone played great for Punjab team, he scored 94 runs in just 48 balls with 9 sixes and 5 fours.  But unfortunately he got out.  If he could have played a little longer, he might have won the match. If another player like Liam Livingstone and Taide played a little better, it would have been easy for them to win the match. they were played very well by all the Delhi players.  And collected very good runs in every over

Yes if he could have continued a bit more, Punjab Kings might have won the match but in the end it didn't happen. Moreover, how much more can be expected from a player?  He scored 95 runs off 48 balls with a strike rate of 195. Prabhasimran Singh needed to perform a little better. On the other hand, the players of Delhi Capitals have done consistently well in this match. Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Rossouw and Salt each scored well. Delhi Capitals managed to score 213 runs for just 2 wickets. Punjab Kings bowling site completely failed in this match.

A 15-run loss to Delhi Capitals ended Punjab Kings' IPL dreams. Now officially Punjab Kings are out of the playoffs this season. Punjab Kings could not succeed in chasing the target of 214 runs.

Liam Livingstone's outstanding efforts also failed to earn the team victory. Liam Livingstone played a brilliant innings of 94 runs off just 48 balls. 

In this IPL, KKR, Delhi Capitals, SRH, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, these five teams' dreams of IPL 2023 qualifiers are over.

Looks like Punjab is about to kick the bucket. Dhawan getting injured when he was on fire earlier on in the season was a huge blow to them and he never retained that fire after returning later on.
Delhi is already out, but they are taking Punjab along with them comfortably. Wonder when either of these teams will end up winning the cup for the first time.

PBKS is losing the match. They had to win this match if they wanted to keep them alive in the tournament. DC has won the match by 15 runs. This was a good performance from DC. But this was certainly in vain. After all, both of them are going to be out of the tournament.

But it was not very surprising to me. The thing which was actually very surprising is RCB actually still has a chance if they can consistently win. RCB does have a better run rate. So it is possible for them to get head of Mumbai Indians and actually qualify.

In this IPL, KKR, Delhi Capitals, SRH, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, these five teams' dreams of IPL 2023 qualifiers are over.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) lost their playoff chances completely after a 15-run defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC) yesterday. If Punjab kings could have won in tomorrow's match, they would have had 14 points in 13 matches, so they could have achieved the fifth position in the points table. But with the defeat yesterday, this possibility of Punjab Kings also ended. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have won, but their playoff spot is already in doubt. So a win or loss in yesterday's match could not bring any benefit for the playoffs.

At this point, Gujarat Titans are assured of a spot in the playoffs. In case of Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, there is more than a 90% chance. The fight for the 4th spot is going to be between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Three more teams can qualify for the playoffs in very unlikely scenarios, but the chances are less than 10%. What surprises me is the situation with Rajasthan Royals. They started the season with a bang, winning most of the matches in the first half. But then they lost steam mid-way and now it is very unlikely that they will not qualify for the playoffs.

RCB losing today's match will make the competence even high. So that four teams will be on the points table with same point. Every team's last match plays major role, because RCB and RR are with better net runrate against Punjab Kings and KKR down to them. Though SRH is in the last position its playe could decide the teams into the playoff.

Gujarat Titans have already secured the playoff spot. There are no more hurdles in front of them but there is no problem even if they lose the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 21.
Chennai Super Kings have a small hurdle in front of them which is that if they lose their last match against Delhi Capitals then they will have 15 points i.e. in this case if the next team LSG wins against Kolkata Knight Riders then LSG will move to the second position and Chennai Super Kings will move to the third position. will come Again, if Mumbai Indians win the last match, their points will be 16 and they will move to the third position and Chennai Super Kings will move to the fourth position, in which case the equation becomes quite complicated. So it will be very difficult for the latter teams to secure the playoffs.

Chennai should try to finish at no.2. If they are able to do so, then they get two chances to participate in the IPL final. If they finish at no.3, or no.4, then they get only one chance. Anyway, their next match is against Delhi Capitals and they are in great form at this moment. Players such as David Warner, Prithvi Shaw and Rilee Rossouw are scoring plenty of runs, although they seems to be a bit weak in the bowling department. Anrich Nortje and Ishant Sharma leaked too many runs during yesterday's match. But still, CSK will be the favorites to win this match.

What a mess for PBKS! DC gave a free hand to PBKS and still they lost. They had a good chance of getting into the playoffs but after this loss it is next to impossible for them. Liam Livingstone tried his level best yesterday with a quick knock of 94 in just 48 balls.

Rilee Rossouw is a great asset for the South African side. Watching him bat yesterday was thrilling & oddly satisfying.

Both these batsmen (Rilee Rossouw and Liam Livingstone) played similar innings yesterday. But the difference is that Rossouw got the support from his colleagues, such as David Warner and Prithvi Shah, while Livingstone hardly got any backup. As a result, Rossouw's side ended up winning the match. To be fair, I will not put too much blame on the Punjab Kings. Delhi had the momentum with them, and for Punjab some of their senior players were out of form. They tried their best, but luck was not with them yesterday. Still there is a small chance that they will qualify for the playoffs.

This is the first time that I am seeing so many teams fighting for the playoffs spots for so freaking long. GT already qualified and took one of the top 2 spots while CSK, MI, LSG and RCB are fighting for the remaining 3 spots.

Sticking to my earlier prediction where GT and CSK will end up in the top 2 spots while LSG and RCB will end up in the bottom 2 spots.

^^ If SRH manages to produce some upset tonight then RCB's situation at the table will become very tricky.

It Would be really funny if RCB lose one of their remaining matches and it's very much on the table, considering their choking history. True RCBian fans would agree.

RCB has two matches remaining. If they win both of them, then they will end up with 16 points. That should be enough to earn a playoff spot. The first one is easy, as it is against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, the second match is going to be tough and they will be facing the top-ranked Gujarat Titans. But then we are talking about Royal Challengers Bangalore, the eternal chokers of Indian Premier League. I won't be much surprised even if they lose to SRH today and get kicked out of the playoffs. They have lost 3 out of their last 5 matches anyway.

I think Bengaluru will be able to qualify for the knockout round. I watched Bengaluru's performance against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. They won by 112 runs. Due to the great performance of the bowlers, Rajasthan Royals lost all the wickets for just 59 runs. They will face Hyderabad in today's match. This team is also one of the weaker teams this season. And so if Bengaluru's players can perform with some responsibility then their chances of winning are high. As today's match is a do-or-die match for Bengaluru, I think Bengaluru will perform well in today's match and be able to win.

As I mentioned before, Royal Challengers Bangalore is a very volatile team. And they are overdependent on a few players. As far as batting is concerned, they are heavily dependent on the trio of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. The lower order, comprised mainly of Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik and Anuj Rawat is yet to contribute with the bat. Fortunately for the RCB fans, now the management has decided not to include Shahbaz Ahmed in the playing XI, and he was neither good with the bat, nor with the ball. Bowling looks stronger though, with the addition of Wayne Parnell.

If we look at the performances of Royal Challengers Bangalore in other seasons, they lost the matches in which they must needed to win. As a result, even after a long time, they did not achieve their desired victory. But this event is likely to get something different. Because their performance at this time is better than other seasons. A win in today's match is definitely need for them to retain their position in this tournament. Moreover, Sunrisers Hyderabad is at the bottom of the points table in this session. It is an opportunity for Royal Challengers Bangalore but not possible to predict the situation of the field, what is going to happen in today's match.

[Litzki1990]

Gujarat Titans is a team that does not have as many stars as other teams, but due to its consistent performance, this team is the champion in the previous IPL and the first in this IPL to secure the playoffs. You may say that Gujarat Titans have players like Rashid Khan, Hardik Pandya along with Shubman Gill but apart from these three they don't have many big name players in their team. 
Although Gujarat Titans do not have famous players, all those who play for their team have performed consistently.  And all of them play a vital role in the team's victory, which is one of the reasons for their success. 

If Gujarat maintain this consistency then it will not be too difficult for them to win the second time IPL trophy.

I agree with you. Royal Challengers Bangalore is overly dependent on certain players. This is why the performance of this team is not consistent. Bengaluru's top order is strong. If Virat and du Plessis play well, this team can collect big. If these two players don't play well then as usual we don't see good performance from other players in the team. But since this match is very important for Bengaluru. Hope every player in the team will try to perform well in his position. Also the bowlers are in good form now. For this reason, I consider the Bengaluru team as the favorite in this match.

Nordic T20 cup

Today Nordic T20 cup matches will be started and the first match in between Norway and Denmark. And today's second match in between Denmark and Finland and third match in between Norway and Sweden. Today these three matches are scheduled. And no one can say who will win the performance will show the progress and the progress will lead the team to the T20 Cup

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers

If RCB wants to stay in contention for the playoffs they need to win today. They have a good batting dept. Bowlers have shown what they can do in the last match against RR. They are the favourite to win today. Considering it's a T20 game I won't deny that SRH can win too. If they win then it will be not easy for RCB. At the moment they are 5th on the point table and a win can help them move to the number 4th spot on the point table.
