T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

He doesn't even bat at this number whenever he plays for Baroda but for some weird reason, he or maybe management thought that he's solid for the top 3.

Well, Rahul wasn't there, that's why LSG reached the playoffs, otherwise his only contribution would've been shouting Go Green (dot-ball initiative of BCCI)

Lucknow Super Giants had the worst selection policy for any team in this season of the Indian Premier League. They gave just 4 matches to Quinton de Kock, as Kyle Mayers was selected ahead of him. And then Mark Wood was dropped in favor of Naveen-ul-Haq. This stupidity reminded me of the Mumbai Indians, who refused to give a single match to Dewald Brevis. Irrespective of who is captaining the side (KL Rahul or Krunal Pandya), LSG made the shittiest decisions for any of the franchises. It surprises me that somehow they managed to reach the playoffs.

[romero121]

Sasta Pandaya wanted to be a hero. Opening the bowling and coming out at an important position of 1 down. Main captain hun, main sab karunga, mujhe sab aata hai "Attitude"

He felt he is better than his brother and thought why not taken on the whole MI all by himself. Niether he is good spinner nor a good batter and a worst captain in my opinion.

KL Rahul sudden departure due to the injury a big blow for LSG. He was not in form but he knew how to captain this side. After his departure the management made a mockery of themselves by hiring this idiot as a captain.

He doesn't even bat at this number whenever he plays for Baroda but for some weird reason, he or maybe management thought that he's solid for the top 3.

Well, Rahul wasn't there, that's why LSG reached the playoffs, otherwise his only contribution would've been shouting Go Green (dot-ball initiative of BCCI)

Atleast he should've gone for some big shots. The one down position is to do or die and create pressure on the bowling side. His brother too have the same mentality as him. Somehow he have got solid players who keep their consistency in performance.

Rahul in recent series playing T20 as if like playing ODI. So, his presence might've added few more runs. Maybe he might've stood wicket. What's been said is really funny, go green with more dot balls.

[Unknown Op]

After a long battle, LSG suffered a disappointing loss in the Eliminator match. In the beginning, the batsmen were put under such pressure by the bowlers that it broke the whole team. It proved once again that even a big batsman is nothing if a bowler can show his bowling magic. Marcus Stoinis, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran could not lead the team to victory. Mumbai Indians are back in top form at the moment so this team can beat Gujarat Titans tomorrow as well and make it to the finals.

The match against Gujarat will be relatively tough for Mumbai Indians as tomorrow's match will be played at Ahmedabad Stadium which is basically considered as the home venue of Gujarat Titans. Ahmedabad's wicket is a bit batting friendly compared to Chennai so we can see big scores in this stadium. 

It will be difficult for Mumbai Indians to win because Gujarat Titans are consistent in bowling and batting but Mumbai Indians are only consistent in batting although LSG won the match against Naipur because of bowling but a bowler will not do well every day. The rest of the team has to play with a lot of responsibility if Mumbai Indians have any chance of making it to the finals.

The Mumbai Indians are expecting a difficult opponent in the Gujarat Titans in tomorrow match at Ahmedabad Stadium. The Titans will probably have the upper hand because the game is taking place at Gujarat home field. Additionally the pitch at Ahmedabad is reputed to be better for batting which could lead to games with high scoring. Mumbai Indians may struggle against Gujarat reliable bowling and batting performances despite their great batting abilities. While their bowlers helped them defeat Naipur in the previous match relying exclusively on a single bowler outstanding performance is not a sound plan. If the Mumbai Indians are to qualify for the finals every member of the team must take responsibility and play above and beyond.

[Haunebu]

If the Mumbai Indians are to qualify for the finals every member of the team must take responsibility and play above and beyond.

I don't think that is going to happen. Shami, Rashid, Noor and Mohit are bowling consistently well while we all know how deep GT bats while MI are over-dependent on their batsmen which they have proven again and again in this season.

MI will stand a better chance at winning if they chase since you mentioned that the game could be a high scoring one.

Akash Madhwal has been given a chance to play only 7 matches by Mumbai Indians and he has performed consistently in all 7 matches. This bowler has picked up 13 wickets in 7 matches and his economy rate is 7.7 which is very controlled bowling in a tournament like IPL. He should have played from the start, if he had been included in the team from the start he would have been the highest wicket taker now but he didn't get that chance. There are more opportunities ahead of him and he should make good use of those opportunities. Rohit Sharma's best fast bowler against Gujarat Titans will be Akash Madhwal.
Mumbai Indians batting as well as bowling line-up needs a lot of planning as Mumbai Indians bowling performance is disappointing. There is no doubt that Mumbai Indians are one of the best teams in IPL if they can bowl controlled.

I won't blame Andy Flower for this but throw some nice words to Gauti, who happens to be an excellent cricketing mind and extra nice words to high management (these guys are big time assholes).

Everyone's first choice was De Cock, no doubt about it but he was unavailable at the start and IMO in his absence Mayers filled his boots impressively. Having said that in hindsight we can argue Quinton's inclusion in the knockout although it was a really tough choice.

The Gujarat Titans are going to be very hungry for a win in this match. So Mumbai Indians will have to be careful. Mumbai Indians are performing really well. I hope they will be able to continue that good performance in the next match as well.

But it is really hard to credit which team is going to win. After all, the winner is going to be playing in the finals. CSK is already in the finals. People did predict that GT is going to be playing in the finals against CSK. This prediction has been going on for a long time. But I am not sure. I think Mumbai Indians might actually end up playing in the finals.

Mumbai Indians played against Gujarat Titans in two matches in this season. Gujarat Titans won the match by 55 runs venued at Narendra Modi Stadium. In the match played at Wankhede Mumbai Indians won by 27 runs. The qualifier 2 is to be played in the Narendra Modi Stadium.

More and more predictions were coming around. Based on the previous encounter it looks like Narendra Modi Stadium is good batting pitch. We can expect the score to be 200+ from the team batting first.

I am expecting Mumbai Indians to get past the Gujrat hurdle because the pitch will be aiding the batsman and with the way Mumbai Indians always does a resurgence in performance during the final stages and it will be a good match for the Cricket fans. Personally rooting for MSD and hence i do not mind who they face in the final as far as we get some wonderful performances  .

Today Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians will fight in Qualifier 2 and whichever team wins from here will qualify for the final. Mumbai Indians are very much in form while Gujarat Titans will try to get their consistent performance. Gujarat Titans are also likely to have one player change. Darshan Nalkande was given a place in the squad before the start of Qualifier 1 in place of Yash Dayal but he may not be considered for today as he has not performed well at the last match he spent 44 runs by 4 overs.

Not many matches have been played between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, total 3 matches have been played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. Two matches were played in IPL2023, one won by Mumbai Indians by 27 runs, the other by Gujarat Titans by 55 runs. Mumbai Indians won by five wickets in 2022 IPL.
In today's match if the statistics are imagined then I will put Mumbai Indians ahead. However, the performance shown by Mumbai Indians against Lucknow Super Giant in the last match, especially in the bowling department, makes Mumbai Indians more likely to win today's match against Gujarat Titans.

I am expecting the Ahmedabad pitch to be batter friendly. If it is then MI have an upper edge. I won't comment on their bowling line up as it is still not the best. Considering their batting depth and the form each batter (except Rohit) is in now they are the favourite.

As GT is playing on their home ground and after the unfortunate loss against CSK, I am expecting the team to perform above average. We can expect a good T20 game today that is for sure.

Both the team are at its best. In terms of consistency Mumbai Indians were doing good over the end matchs. Once it was out of the playoff and the unlucky RCB gave Mumbai Indians the opportunity to enter the playoff. In the playoff the performance of Mumbai Indians were exceptional.

Gujarat throughout the season looked dominant and failed to the captaincy of MSD. In specific the fielding setup to take the wicket of Hardik Pandya is something none could've thought of. Now Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans facing at a very important match makes it more energetic and high scoring.

The problem with GT now is that they look dependent on Shubhman Gills batting. They were earlier playing like a team but after consecutive centuries by Gill they went into the relax mode. On bowling they are very dependent on Rashid Khan's spin attack. Almost everytime when they are unable to break a partnership he is called and he does deliver.

MI at the moment is not dependent on anyone's individual performance. If one batter didn't bat well then the other would take the responsibility. On bowling they are still inconsistent but not as bad as they were in the early stages. At that time it looked as if they were missing Jasprit Bumrah.

Gujarat has several weaknesses. The team is not too dependent on the performances of Shubhman Gill and Rashid Khan. With these two players consistently performing well, the Gujarat team managed to occupy the top spot in the table. If these two players do not play well against Mumbai, the chances of defeat for Gujarat are high. Mumbai's squad has a strong batting line-up. Almost every batsman is in good form. They are not dependent on any particular batsman. However, their bowling lineup is quite weak. Akash bowled brilliantly against LSG in the last match so Mumbai won. However, if the bowlers do not perform well against Gujarat, it will be difficult for Mumbai to win.

Gujarat maybe having several weaknesses, but at least when compared to Mumbai, those weaknesses seems less important. Mumbai bowling is in complete disarray. Akash Madhwal performed impressively during the last match, but that doesn't take away the fact that the MI bowlers have leaked a lot of runs in the group phase. The absence of Bumrah and Archer have hurt them a lot. Youngster like Madhwal, Arshad Khan and Kumar Kartikeya may perform exceptionally in one match and then flop in the next match.

Here Top ranked bowlers for GT

Rashid Khan 14 wickets out of 10 matches
GT Vs MI ,  4 wickets for 30 runs within 4 overs + 79* runs
GT Vs MI,  2 wickets for 27 runs within 4 overs

Mohammed Shami 16 wickets out of 10 matches
GT Vs MI, 0/53
GT Vs MI,0/18

Mohit Sharma, 17 wickets out of 10 matches
GT Vs MI,1/43
GT Vs MI,2/38

Gujarat Titans two bowlers Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma have good bowling record against Mumbai Indians but Mohammad Sami bowled well against Mumbai Indians but no wickets. So captain Hardik Pandya will want to use Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma as special tools.

The problem is that Suryakumar Yadav smashed Rashid Khan all over the park when these two faced off against each other. And the news from Ahmedabad is that the pitch favors batting. SKY is likely to bat at no.4 and it is going to be a tough challenge for Rashid to contain him. He has scored plenty of runs against spinners this season, and may repeat the same against Rashid and Noor today. My suggestion is to reserve a few overs from Shami and Little, and use them against SKY when he comes to bat. Pandya can also be effective against SKY.

Rashid Khan have excelled throughout the season. It was very few players that have scored good in the bowling of Rashid Khan. SuryaKumar Yadav plays as if like we play in our local area. From the very beginning he prefer to score runs. His performance is like do or die, he comes to the crease and starts scoring or just walks back to the pavilion. As his performance on Rashid Khan bowling is really good, keeping reserve for the fast pacers and using them based on the scoring against Rashid Khan bowling could stop him from scoring big. As the pitch is batting favoured, we can expect big runs from few players.

This is going to be a crucial match for gujrat titans as they have lost the last one due to weak batting , today apart from Shubman Gill and rashid Khan other batsman have to take responsibility if these two collapse . Batting wise Gujarat Titans is good but so is Mumbai Indians so its going to be a tough game in Ahmedabad.
