T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[libert19]

Lol, KKR really sit out Starc, should have done same to Venkatesh and given his place to maybe Nitish. Expecting a entertaining game today cause Punjab is going to chase.

LOL.. I noticed it. What I am saying is that it is even difficult to imagine (the scenario where Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifting the trophy at Indian Premier League. They were the runners up three times, if I am not wrong. But I think they will never become the champions as long as Virat Kohli is there. He is the ultimate panauti, both for his franchise and also for the Indian national team. Their women's team have already lifted the WPL trophy. But even after one and half decades the men's team simply can't become the champions even once.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Virat being in RCB or in the Indian team, for RCB to become competitor for the trophy all they need is consistency from the whole team.

What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say that they are not consistent enough?

These guys are big dogs in the IPL along with Mumbai and Chennai and IMHO they are the most consistent team in the IPL. After all, they shat the bed in the last 16 seasons and counting.

The captain of Punjab Kings has won the toss and decided to bowl first, the bowlers of Punjab Kings are not able to use this decision properly. Kolkata Knight Riders opener pair Sunil Narine and Phil Salt are batting great. Sunil Narine is batting very well and is the reliable batsman of Kolkata Knight Riders in this IPL. But in the beginning of IPL this Sunil Narine used to bat at number seven but he has become a reliable batsman when he came to play IPL in India. Current score of Kolkata Knight Riders 100 runs for 0 wickets in eight overs game going on Kolkata Knight Riders current game situation looks like Kolkata Knight Riders can give a target of around 230 runs to Punjab Kings. If Punjab Kings are given a target of 230 runs then there will be no chance for Punjab Kings to win against Kolkata. Kolkata Knight Riders will easily win the match against Punjab Kings.

[Haunebu]

Punjab seriously tried their best to not get Narine and Salt out thanks to which they ended up scoring 70s each propelling KKR to a score of around 240 as long as beasts like Russell keep banging the bowlers.

Expected KKR to win and it looks like they will win quite comfortably pushing them closer to the playoffs and pretty much knocking Punjab out of the playoffs race.

With almost 5 overs remaining, Kolkata Knight Riders have raced to 200 plus total. In all probability they will end up with a total of 250 plus, but I will not rule out another 270 plus total. At the moment, two of the most destructive batsmen are out there - Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer. And then they have plenty of depth in their middle and lower order batting, with players such as Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh yet to come. Among the Punjab bowlers, only Rahul Chahar has an economy of less than 10 runs per over.

Finally, the devastating innings of Kolkata Knight Riders stopped at 261 runs. Kolkata Knight Riders set a target of 262 runs to Punjab Kings Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen batted very well against Punjab Kings as every batsman managed to set a target of 262 runs to Punjab Kings due to their excellent batting. The captain of Punjab Kings must be regretting in his heart why he decided to give the process because if Punjab Kings had batted first and given a target of good runs, then if KKR had bowled aggressively, maybe Punjab Kings would have faced a target of equal. Punjab Kings will never win today's match against Kolkata  but if Punjab Kings batsmen can bat responsibly then the game can be competitive but there is no chance of Punjab Kings winning the match.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings in the 42nd match of the Indian Premier League. In today's match, Kolkata Knight Riders lost the toss and batted first to complete the game of 20 overs and gave Punjab Kings a target of 262 runs. A target of 262 runs in T20 matches is a big "target" for Punjab Kings. Achieving this target is not an easy task for Punjab Kings. However, in today's match, the bowlers of the Punjab Kings team have bowled very irresponsibly. In today's match, the bowlers of the Punjab Kings team failed completely to the excellent performance of the batsmen of the Kolkata knight Riders team. The poor bowling of the bowlers of the Punjab Kings team became really annoying.  Now it is impossible to say how well Punjab Kings team players can bat against Kolkata Knight Riders team in the second innings game. According to me it will be very difficult task for Punjab Kings team to meet the target of this match today. Now let's wait and see what happens at the end of the second innings.

KKR batsmen worked very hard and struggle in the match to set a target of 262 in 20 overs and it is a very big and difficult target.  And I think Punjab King batsmen will not be able to achieve this target.  Yes you are right.  Punjab King is very difficult to win.  If they work with hard work and struggle they can win.  Their bowler did not bowl well.  Had the fielders stopped the run they could have got an easy target.  But they did not show interest in the match.  Punjab King batsmen need 192 runs off 92 balls.  And it is proving impossible for them to win today.  If their batsmen keep up their pace fortune may be on their side and win them over.  If the Punjab King batsmen complete the target what will happen to the KKR team will be very bad.  Punjab King batsmen need 169 runs off 84 balls.  Finally see the result.

[Haunebu]

What the blazing hell! Punjab look like they might chase down that humungous score and are on course to scripting history here. Every KKR bowler excluding Narine is getting pounded into oblivion.

92 from 50 balls seems totally gettable now unless Punjab lose wickets quickly. This is unbelievable stuff. Insane IPL season period.

[libert19]

Was expecting good chase from Punjab, then doubted it after KKR made 261 but wow amazing stuff from Punjab, right now in comfortable position to win the game, this is gonna be highest chase if they manage to do it.

Still Punjab Kings have enough chances to win this match. If Jonny Bairstow bats patiently for a little while longer, maybe the victory of Punjab Kings will be much easier and even Jonny Bairstow's century will be complete.

Maybe Kolkata Knight Riders are going to lose one more match with this match today.

Punjab should win it from here. KKR batting first, the opening pair of Phil Salt and Sunil Narine created a fabulous 1st wicket partnership both making 70+ with a strike rate of over 200 and other batsmen though not as long standing as them, most of them kept the strike rate to create a large score of 261.
Punjab chasing a huge target and KKR being 2nd on the table and Punjab 2nd from the bottom, were not the favorite in this match but Jonny Bairstow impressive inning have led them to a point when they require just 61 runs from 30 balls.

Bro, I do not understand what is the point of a match like this?

KKR had given a target of 262. Pbks has been able to chase that target with eight balls remaining. These flat surfaces are actually making the matches not competitive and actually a little boring in my opinion. I think even in T20 match, every ball should not be hit for a six. The way I feel is being played, there is no point in having good bowlers at all.

look at what happened today. Narine bowled really well. Had only given away 24  runs in his four overs. Also picked up one wicket. Actually, he did pick up one more but it was a run-out made by him. And all the other bowlers went for more than 13 runs per over. Russel has gone for 18 per over. Like I always thought if IPL was fixed or not. But now it definitely feels like this is a fixed match going on. It has become actually more like a WWE show. The fighting is real but the result is fixed.

[Mahdirakib]

What a victory for Punjab Kings! They have chased the big target very comfortably. I was expecting to see such big run chase (250+) in this IPL season as all the matches are high scoring match. Sunil Narine bowling was impressive as he has given only 24 runs in 4 overs. Overall, it was a poor bowling show from KKR bowlers. They were unable to create pressure on Punjab batsmen despite giving a huge target. Preity Zinta wasn't in the stadium, I would love to see her reaction if she was present in the stadium.

Unbelievable match was finished today I'm Indian Premier League competition and this is the big record of chasing big defeating target in today and this feat was accomplished by  Punjab Kings squad batters. Today Punjab Kings squad displayed unbelievable and unbeatable performance in batting inning especially because Defeating target of Kolkata Knight Rider was also so good and challenging which seem very difficult to achieve. Jonny Bairstow batter batted very impressively with not out in crease and Jonny Bairstow total collected 108 scored after playing 48 deliveries just. This defeat was very bad for Kolkata Knight Rider squad and with this defeat, their squad position in standing table move down and also reduce their run rate condition. Along with Jonny Bairstow batter, Prabhsimran Singh also build very strong batting partnership and collected 54 scores. But Punjab Kings sqaud still have every slim possibility to reach in semi final matches their sqaud need or secure more victories.

What a victory for Punjab Kings! They have chased the big target very comfortably. I was expecting to see such big run chase (250+) in this IPL season as all the matches are high scoring match. Sunil Narine bowling was impressive as he has given only 24 runs in 4 overs. Overall, it was a poor bowling show from KKR bowlers. They were unable to create pressure on Punjab batsmen despite giving a huge target.

It was an incredible result. I never imagined that Punjab team will win this match. A huge target of 262 runs was given by the Kolkata team. In the past, no team could win any match in the IPL by chasing such a big target. This is a new record.

Apart from Sunil Narine, none of Kolkata's bowlers could bowl well. Every pace bowler has given plenty of runs. The Punjab team got an easy win even after batting a target of 262 runs. Punjab reached the target of victory in 18.4 overs. However, even after the defeat in today's match, the Kolkata team is still at the second place in the points table.

Preity Zinta wasn't in the stadium, I would love to see her reaction if she was present in the stadium.

If Preity Zinta was at the stadium, Punjab might have lost this match  Just kidding.. but I have seen Preity Zinta quite unlucky for Punjab in several matches. If Preity Zinta is in the stadium, Punjab team has lost many easy matches.

If a team can play so well why are they in the bottom position. Punjab Kings have won only 3 matches in IPL 2024 points table. On the other hand Kolkata is a strong team they are in 2nd position. Those who can chase 261 runs they never consider a bad team. Moreover, Kolkata's bowling line-up is not bad, but one has to admit that Punjab Kings definitely have players of that quality. Although it is fun to say that if Preity Zinta is present, the team loses the match, Punjab Kings have done so in many matches. Though her absence is not associated with the team's wins and losses, it is estimated that those factors are quite noticeable to the fans.

It was really a game changing performance by the betters of Punjab kings specially the Johnny Bairstow, and also shashank Singh but unfortunately we see today Prabhsimran singh run out.
Anyway I think today most of the gambler lost their betting like as me I wasn't thought that today Punjab kings will be win at this target and so that I also put my all profits from previous three betting in this match but alash lost those for the Punjab kings. Who knew that the No. 2 ranked team would lose to a team that had lost four games in a row. But today's bet remind me that gambling is all about the luck.

If Preity Zinta was at the stadium, Punjab might have lost this match  Just kidding.. but I have seen Preity Zinta quite unlucky for Punjab in several matches. If Preity Zinta is in the stadium, Punjab team has lost many easy matches.

Oh, lol,  Preity Zinta Wasn't at the stadium during today's game?
You guessed it right, maybe that's why Punjab Kings won today.  Because if she is in the stadium, the players may forget about their performance because of her beauty.  😛

Now that Pakistan can't win this series, but they are very close to losing this series with New Zealand B or C team if they lose the last match, Even if they win, the series will be a draw and New Zealand will be happy with the results.

By following the foot steps of paksitan men's team Thier women team also losing consecutive matches against West Indies, first they were being whitewash in ODI series and now they continue thier defeat run in T20 series too by losing the first match unluckely by 2 runs while chasing again west indies. It's true that compared to ODI Thier performance are quite handsome in T20 but still unable to divert in thier favour. First while West Indies bat first thier main player and captain got dismissed by golden duck which is huge turn over for west indies because she was the only high scorrer In ODI series but due to his sudden dismissal west indies scored 122 but still paksitan didn't get the required and lose an important match of the series who can definitely build momentum for them for next upcoming matches.

[rojan]

In Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings team match, Punjab Kings team won this match by 8 wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders team came out to bat first and set a target of 261 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. However, Punjab Kings team overcame this run easily and won the match.I thought that Punjab Kings team will not do well in this match but Kolkata Knight Riders have spoiled the bowling line of the team for which Punjab Kings batted well in this match.
