T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[libert19]

So far SRH have broken run records while batting first, plus they did horrendous in last game while chasing so it was kinda surprise to me that they still decided to chase or they might have just saw RCB run chase and influenced by that.

in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Muhammad Amir quite a costly spell in this Match gave to much runs but at the last over they successfully defended the 12 runs and Pakistan won by just a few runs. Pakistan needs to improve its batting performance if they perform well in the next T20 World Cup.

Outstanding performance by New Zealand in this series. They made Pakistan work hard to level this series which was played on there home ground. Eight bowlers were used by Babar Azam to bowl 20 overs, only Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam didn't participated in bowling. Usama Mir finally had some impressive figures in T20I while Shaheen picked 4 wickets. Though series is levelled but Pakistan need to think why they were not able to beat New Zealand team who is without it's key players.

Shaheen Shah Afridi showcased an impressive bowling performance. Captaincy played a crucial role, and Afridi's bowling was leading Pakistan to victory. However, leveling the series against a New Zealand team without its key players isn't a significant achievement. Failing to secure a series win at home against a weakened opposition raises concerns for Pakistan. Throughout the series, this New Zealand's team posed challenges, exposing Pakistan's shortcomings, including a lack of batting depth, poor fielding, and a bowling unit that struggles under pressure.

Sunrise Hyderabad chose to bowl first after winning the toss. The batsmen of Chennai Super Kings are putting some pressure on Chennai Super Kings by losing one wicket in the beginning. Current score of Chennai Super Kings is 83 runs for one wicket in 10 overs The current state of play of Chennai Super Kings seems that if Chennai Super Kings can bat well then they can score maximum 190 runs. After setting a target of 190 runs, Sunrise could never win the match against Hyderabad. We all know that the batting line of Sunrise Hyderabad is very strong so to win against them Chennai Super Kings must play responsible batting otherwise it is not possible to win the match against Sunrise Hyderabad. Let's finally see how responsible the Chennai Super Kings batsmen are today. How many runs can Sunrise target Chennai Super Kings?

This is really funny. Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their second consecutive match, and still they are at the rock bottom of the points table. Gujarat Titans have lost their momentum. Their selection policies are absurd. There is a special preference being given to Afghan players, which means that talented players such as Josh Little can never find a place in the playing XI. Apart from David Miller, all the other foreign players in their XI are Afghans (Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad). And none of them are in good form.

I also don't understand why Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins took such a decision in today's match. Cummins should have won the toss and decided to bat. Because Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to collect big in almost every match by batting earlier.

At the end of 18 overs, Chennai team managed to collect 192 runs after losing 2 wickets. Gaikwad remained unbeaten on 93 runs and Dube on 30 runs. Chennai team will be able to provide a target like 220-225. That's a pretty big target. However, Hyderabad's batting order is very strong. So if Chennai's bowlers fail to bowl well, there is no chance of Chennai winning.

Chennai team has given a target of 213 runs. I also thought Chennai would collect more than 220 today. Chennai collected only 8 runs in the 19th over and Chennai collected 12 runs in the last over. But it felt bad as Raturaj Gaikwad could not score a century for just 2 runs. Raturaj Gaikwad got out after collecting 98 runs from 954 balls.

Even if 213 runs is a big enough target, it is not possible to say that Chennai will win. Sunrisers Hyderabad team is still the favorite in this match. Every batsman in Hyderabad's squad is in very good form. So if Mustafizur Rahman and Mathisha Pathirana don't bowl well today, Chennai won't win this match.

Perhaps it was due to something in the pitch? Chennai Super Kings made a 200 plus total, but given the trend so far Sunrisers Hyderabad maybe able to easily chase it down. Feels bad for the CSK captain (Ruturaj Gaikwad). He missed a century by just two runs, as SRH's strike bowler nabbed him. And as usual, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has came out to bat in the 20th over. Shivam Dube from the other end is smashing balls quite well. In the end, the target for SRH is set at 213, which is doable IMO.

This might be sadist but I wanted Abhishek to take that catch of Dhoni, imagine the crowd going from absolute nuts to absolute silent. That'd have been lit!

Pakistan did not perform well in terms of bowling in this match but they performed well in terms of batting. And that was the appropriate reply, Shaheen Afridi gave the best bowling performance and Anand bowlers performed well. In the past matches, Pakistan team lost by a wide margin but in this match they managed to defeat the New Zealand team very easily, whenever the batting site was out of attack for the New Zealand team then the Pakistan team got more opportunities and the New Zealand team lost because of the fall of more wickets. And in the last minute the result of the game ended in 2-2 match, in general Pakistan team Babar Azam, Osman Khan, Fakhar Zaman these three batsmen have performed well in the field of batting.

Other than that if Imad Wasim had some overs to play with Shadab Khan then they could make the good runs bcasue we have seen them in the last over but Shadab Khan come at 18.4 or 18.5 and the ball which was played by him, he started to hit six on his first ball.
Also, he finished the last over in such a good way and also after his arrival to the batting crease we have seen a lot of boundaries in the last overs or second last one and I think at least 20 or more than 20 runs made in the last over and by the way Shadab Khan made 15 runs in 5 balls.
It was these small innings that let the socre range to a point which seems a good total and it proved to be enough for the win in the end.

[Sithara007]

Sunrisers Hyderabad are once again on the backfoot. Travis Head is gone, and Anmolpreet Singh followed him in the next ball. Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram are at the crease with Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy to follow next. SRH need to be very careful here. If Abhishek  gets out, then it will get really difficult for them. Really surprised with Tushar Deshpande so far. He was extremely expensive in the previous matches. And in this match, he nabbed the most destructive batsmen of the season.

Edit: Deshpande does it again. Abhishek Sharma is gone. 

[Haunebu]

Why in the world would Cummins choose to bowl first when they are doing really, really well batting first? He probably bet on dew helping out, but I still felt that it was a bad decision all things considered.

SRH are already tumbling just like in their previous match against RCB which doesn't bode well for their future in this season. Still expecting them to win this one though somehow.

As we saw Sunrisers Hyderabad batting in the previous matches, a target of 213 runs was not a big target for this team. However, Chennai's bowlers have changed the entire scenario of today's match. Every bowler in Chennai is bowling well today. Hyderabad lost 4 of their batsmen in 9 overs, and managed to collect 73 runs.

Aiden Marakram and Heinrich Klaasen are now at the crease. Marakram scored 28 runs off 22 balls. These two batsmen are very experienced and are in great form now. And both have the ability to play big innings to help the team win. But now Hyderabad need about 13 runs per over. They will not be able to win this match if they bat slowly.

Although Raturaj Gaijwad is Chennai's captain on paper, I would say DHoni is managing today's match. Starting from the fielding set, the bowler is also doing the selection. Dhoni is also giving direction to the bowlers. And this is why the bowlers are also able to bowl well and keep the Hyderabad batsmen under pressure.

Hyderabad collected 85 runs losing 5 wickets in 11 overs. Pathirana picked up the important wicket of Marakram in his first over. Hyderabad need 128 runs in 9 overs. Hyderabad's batsmen have to collect around 14 runs per over. And right now it is very difficult for Hyderabad to make a comeback in this match...

According to previous matches performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad squad with other squads today Sunrisers Hyderabad squad did not played good innings in today match against Chennai Super Kings squad. Ruturaj Gaikwad captain of Chennai Super Kings squad was displayed significant strength un batting inning and this batter collected 98 scores in batting and just 2 more scores need to complete century but sadly he was wiped out by T Natarajan Bowler. But against side, Sunrisers Hyderabad squad batting is not going great, Travis Head was not collected much scores just 13 and same Abhishek Sharma batter was cleared out at 15 scores. Now this match come to an end just 22 behind for bat and 92 scores remain for achieve and this is impossible task to do and surely Sunrisers Hyderabad squad today unable to secure victory.

[libert19]

Meh, what a disappointing match. We might have seen better competition had SRH batted first, thought SRH were competitor for trophy this year but with this performance they stand 0 chance.

They might be demotivated themselves with their performances in last two matches that we might not see 300 getting crossed this season either.

[ZAINmalik75]

RCB seem to have the upper hand at the moment since I don't think 200 is a competitive score on this pitch, but I could be wrong since the commentators did mention that it is a competitive score.

Royal challengers Bangalore are now looking coming to right track but it's too late to be in race with other competitors but since they have four matches left so let suppose if these guys have consistently won rest of thier matches and team at top 4 lose some of thier important matches than may be due to that miracle they can qualify for next stage of the competition, Kohli the only consistent scorer for his team if some of top name share a long time with him on pitch in shape of partnership then they will have decent results. Anyway Gujarat done really good job rather than shubman gill but some great innings of English young blood will jacks runied thier hardwork through his century and thus won the match for his team

But Chennai super kings doesn't disappoint me  .  Although before the start of the match I was confused about the result of today's match. Because so far Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have had very similar performances. But even after that I put some bucks on today's match with faith in dhoni and Chennai super kings.
However today our Bengal Tiger Mustafizur Rahman also took two wickets but he had less econ than others.  My regret is where this performance of Mustafizur Rahman goes when he plays for the national team for Bangladesh.

[ZAINmalik75]

Pakistan team Babar Azam, Osman Khan, Fakhar Zaman these three batsmen have performed well in the field of batting.

Paksitani men's team done phenomenal especially in his last match but compared to them thier women teams are comparatively performing worst and worst day by day against West Indies, first they lose one sided entire ODI series against them and now in T20 series they lose thier first two game which is quite disappointed because they have several quality player and also they have advantage of thier home ground experience but still unable to divert things In Thier favour unfortunately. Anyway from Paksitani side just muneeba scored his half century while rest of thier player failed to scored decent that's why they have just scored 121 which has been scored easily by thier opponent and thus won the match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to Chennai Super Kings by 78 runs. Accepting such a big loss is quite heartbreaking for many Sunrisers Hyderabad fans. Because there is no competitive environment in that match. And many consider their big defeats to be regular for them. Big losses happen regularly with this team. If we look at a history of last few years they have lost by such big score margins.



I was a bit disappointed with the performance of some players as none of them could do well on the same day. Travis Head to score well in a few matches but suddenly drop. But none of Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram could perform well with their name. Captain Pat Cummins has consistently failed to perform well.

However today our Bengal Tiger Mustafizur Rahman also took two wickets but he had less econ than others.  My regret is where this performance of Mustafizur Rahman goes when he plays for the national team for Bangladesh.

The icon players of Bangladesh perform quite well in foreign premier leagues but when they return to the national team of Bangladesh, their performance becomes so bad that most of the matches see them being called golden ducks.
Just like Mustafizur Rahman has bowled a firestorm in IPL but when he returns to Bangladesh National Team, Mustafizur Rahman's performance is very bad here as Bangladeshi supporters we have no end of sorrow and regret.
However, Mustafizur Rahman probably feels more comfortable in IPL, that's why he can bowl comfortably there, but in Bangladesh, he feels a lot of pressure in the natural team, that's why he can't do much bowling performance.
