T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[libert19]

India T20I world cup squad announced: BCCI

Rohit (C), Hardik (VC), Jaiswal, Kohli, Surya, Pant, Samson, Dube, Jadeja, Axar, Kuldeep, Chahal, Arshdeep, Siraj, Bumrah

Travelling reserves:

Rinku, Gill, Khaleel, Avesh.

Opinion:

Pant! Looooolllll!

Arshdeep, who misses his line under pressure. Why?

Siraj, what else can be done except hoping that he gets his form back?

Rinku not in squad — hopefully someone gets injured and he makes it to the squad. I'm sorry for such sadist hope.

Hopefully, never need arises for Avesh  

I'm glad Dube got in, India needs proper spin basher in middle overs.


Overall I would rate this squad 7/10.

Today Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants two teams will face each other but this match today is going to be a high voltage match. Because it is really difficult to predict which team will win.  Although Mumbai Indians in this IPL did not perform very well in the beginning but now Mumbai Indians have performed very well. Considering that, today's match may be very competitive.

Today the Mumbai Indians team is not that strong because the batting line of the Mumbai Indians team is strong but the bowling line is very weak. But the opposite team Lucknow Super Giants team is strong on both sides and they are occupying the fifth place in the points table, especially though Mumbai Indians team and want to win the matches in the future they will not enter the quarter finals. But in this case Lucknow Super Giants team has this chance as they have won five matches so far. But Lucknow Super Giants must win today's match as they have a chance to make it to the quarter finals if they work hard enough.

The captain of Lucknow Super Giants decided to bowl first after winning the toss to see how well Lucknow Super Giants bowlers can use this decision. Lucknow Super Giants performed very well against Chennai Super Kings and won both the matches against Chennai by performing well in both batting and bowling. Mumbai Indians batsmen will be under a lot of pressure if they can bowl aggressively from the start against Mumbai Indians today. Now let's see how aggressively bowling Lucknow Super Giants bowlers can restrict Mumbai Indians to within how many runs.

MI once again in trouble as Rohit and Surya both gone for cheap. Surya isn't having much success with his leg side shots these days, instead of going for boundaries he gets out trying to hit those.

Pressure on young middle order again, Tilak and Nehal, will these two help MI give good total again? Ishan still on crease, he has opportunity to prove himself too, iirc he has played one 50+ inning so far this season, MI needs more from him.

Today the Mumbai Indians team is not that strong because the batting line of the Mumbai Indians team is strong but the bowling line is very weak.

Today Mumbai Indians batting is not looking good either and they have lost 2 wickets only for 21 runs. Rohit Sharma, who was expected to make big runs, was out only making 4 runs while Suryakumar Yadav got out making 10 runs only. He was a big hitter and if he had stayed on the crease for a long time, it could helped Mumbai Indians scored big runs.


Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians - MI lose Rohit and Suryakumar early

But the opposite team Lucknow Super Giants team is strong on both sides and they are occupying the fifth place in the points table, especially though Mumbai Indians team and want to win the matches in the future they will not enter the quarter finals. But in this case Lucknow Super Giants team has this chance as they have won five matches so far. But Lucknow Super Giants must win today's match as they have a chance to make it to the quarter finals if they work hard enough.

Lucknow Super Giants are a stronger team and I expect them to win today. Right now both the opening bowlers Marcus Stoinis and  Mohsin Khan  took one wicket each. This match is being played at Lucknow and therefore i guess their team and crowd will be happy with the scorecard at the moment.

Knew something was off here [1]. Apparently, Harshit was fined 60% of match fees for giving flying kiss to Mayank Agarwal in one of KKR's prior matches, so he corrected himself soon here.

IMO, aggression makes the competition entertaining, this should be allowed.

LOL! Harshit Rana fined 100% of match fees, and banned for 1 match for that... half assed celebration?

If there is more than what meets the eye then ok, otherwise this is abysmal.

[B2Z]

Lucknow Super Giants bowlers have been bowling brilliantly and have put Mumbai Indians batsmen under pressure from the start. The current score of Mumbai Indians is 36 runs for 4 wickets in 7 overs. The current state of play of Mumbai Indians seems that if the next batsmen of Mumbai Indians can bat well, they can score a maximum of 260 runs. If Mumbai Indians can be restricted to 160 runs then Lucknow Super Giants will be very easy to win the match. However, Mumbai Indians are not performing so well in this season of IPL, especially due to the transfer of captain Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya. Mumbai Indians are in a very bad position in the points table.

[Haunebu]

Rinku not a part of the main lineup and Hardik is? What a load of crap. Decent lineup, but it could have been a lot better. Coming to the ongoing LSG vs MI match, it looks like Mumbai is all set to bid adieu to the playoffs race.

LOL! Harshit Rana fined 100% of match fees, and banned for 1 match for that... half assed celebration?

Saw this result coming from a mile away. His celebrations are way too aggressive and ungentlemanly if you ask me which is why he totally deserved this.

It's not the best start for Mumbai Indians. For their fans, it's tough to watch such a poor performance from the team. Nothing seems to be going right for them. It's been a total disaster so far. Losing 4 big wickets within the powerplay is a big blow, and their run rate is understandably low. Mumbai Indians are in serious trouble! Lucknow Super Giants' decision to bowl first seems to have paid off.

Imagine one bowler having an off day and you have no part time bowler in the top 6 because your batters are not interested at all and your domestic cricket is not creating enough all-rounders.

That's where Hardik Pandya comes in (6th bowling option), it's a failure of a system that after so many years they are still struggling to replace him in white ball cricket.

Mumbai India scored only 145 run which is a very low score . Seeing the runs target it is clear that Lucknow Super Giants will win this match .
Now it is to be match whether it will be kL Rahul or Naveen ul Haq form Lucknow Super Giants . KL Rahul performance is as good or worse than all batsman of the Lucknow Super Giants  team . Naveen ul Haq as also impress all with his skills and determination. But if Mumbai indians preforms well in bowling nothing can be said , but Lucknow Super Giants  team has more chances to win .

RR is almost through to next round but 3 others teams are not finalised yet. The group stage is about to end and teams now have 4 or 5 games left. It's time to give there full efforts in last matches to make it to next round.       

At this time no team can take the position of Rajasthan Royals because when the other teams were relaxing then they went up too high and now no one can take their place and for sure they conform to their semi-finalist space.

These are all the best teams that are still fighting for the top four spots in which Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and the last Chennai Super Kings, but the main is to win the final because they (Rajasthan Royals) won the IPL just a time which was the first season of IPL 2008 but this time we are seeing much type of improvement inside them.

Pace bowling allrounders are quite rare in Indian domestic cricket. How many are there? Apart from Harddick Pandya we have Shardul Thakur, Venkatesh Iyer and Vijay Shankar. Both of them are in poor form right now. And then we have a few others such as Yash Thakur and Manishankar Murasingh. Unless more of domestic matches are being played in pace friendly pitches, we may not see a lot of pace bowling allrounders in domestic cricket. And that is not going to happen soon.

47th and 48th matches of Indian Premier League i.e. two consecutive matches we saw low scoring matches. Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals faced each other in the 47th match in which Delhi Capitals batted first and scored only 153 runs. Again today in the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians in the 48th match of IPL, Mumbai scored only 144 runs by batting first. In the last few matches we have seen that the batsmen of each team have played well and many teams have been defeated despite scoring 200 runs. But currently batsmen are not able to play well in some matches, maybe the pitch has been made bowling friendly.

[FinePoine0]

If the Mumbai Indians team wants to win today's message, then they must improve their bowling performance. There are experienced bowlers in the Mumbai Indians team, including Bhumra and many more experienced bowlers. But meanwhile, Lucknow super giants team has to give a batting performance in a very experienced manner, then only it is possible to win, Arshin Kunkarmi is out in the beginning. So far Lucknow super Giants team has scored 46 runs for one wicket in 5 overs.  If you can collect runs like this and perform patiently for a long time then it is definitely possible to win.

Just on a side note New Zealand's jersey for the World Cup has been ready and we will see them wear a blue shirt in the World Cup of 2024 which will start after a month in June.

By the way, in the latest seasons after 2021, New Zealand jerseys are just as good as the World Cup jersey of 2023, their jersey was not good and before 2021, they had a very good type of jersey.
I think the most iconic jersey was the jersey of 2020 but at that time, we were not able to see them wear that jersey in that  World Cup as the World Cup did not happen in that year due to COVID-19 however this current jersey is too much simple.

South African jersey also unveils in display after New Zealand. South African team jersey for World Cup has been made public and I will also give you that jersey photo below but this jersey is a normal jersey but I noticed that in this World Cup, every country changes their colour as New Zealand has done from Black Caps to blue while South African put yellow colour in the shirt but their trouser is still green.

However, I think this time we would be able to see the same team but in different colors. Maybe this jersey would be luck for South Africa and for the first time, they may win any trophy.

MI team in dangerous at this time because LSG team very close to win this game of 48 th IPL game. Today MI team lost this game due to low target which was made. LSG team won toss and they took a good decision by picking bowl first and gave a batting chance to MI team. MI team made 144 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Leader of team did not play well in today game and R.Sharma scored only 4 runs in 5 batts and only hit one 4s. I.Kishan start this game with good bat line and scoring 32 runs but this was not enough and next batsman like S.Yadav scored only 10 runs and also T.Varma also made only 7 runs. H Pandiya was dismissed for 0 runs poor effort by Leader. LSG need 22 runs in 18 balls and this win easy if LSG batsman scored more in by wasting balls and in single ball they only make 1 to 2 runs. Let's see who will win this game LSG vs MI team.

Right, I think it's slow and bowling pitch reason of low-scoring target. Mumbai Indians didn't score a big total and scored only 144/7 in batting first. LSG batting well chasing the small target losing four wickets in 122 runs. LSG needed 23 runs from 4 overs to win this game against MI. LSG required run rate is below then 6 and they will easily win this game because Pooran and Turner are playing well. Mi disappointed performance in batting and bowling so far in this game.

[B2Z]

Lucknow Super Giants batsmen were under a bit of pressure after losing one wicket at the start of the target of 145 runs given by Mumbai Indians. KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis batted responsibly for Lucknow Super Giants. Moreover, Lucknow Super Giants batsman could not bat like that. Marcus Stoinis batted brilliantly with 62 runs from 45 balls. is out If the batsmen of Mumbai Indians could have given a target of 170 runs to Lucknow Super Giants in today's match then Mumbai Indians would have won the match today. Because from the start Mumbai Indians bowlers bowled very well than Mumbai Indians batsmen Mumbai Indians bowlers performed better in today's match due to which after setting a target of 145 runs Lucknow Super Giants batsmen had to bowl 19.3 overs to win. Lucknow Super Giants win by four wickets against Mumbai Indians.

The captain of the Pakistan team

Paksitani women team continue his defeat streak with a consecutive third match defeat in T20 series and the shocking things is that only a single player from west indies team consecutively making decent performance and single handedly through his spectacular knock not only won the ODI series for his team but now won the T20 series too and they have officially 3-0 lead which is great achievement for them but to be honest I am not whom Paksitani team will make a comeback or will continue things like toward White wash they way they does in ODI series. Fans are really disappointed from thier dedication because it's quite awful to consecutively white wash two series at home ground.

The performance of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians in this year's IPL is so bad that their points are at the lowest second position in the table. Mumbai Indians are at the ninth position in the points table and Royal Challengers Bangalore are at the tenth position in the points table. If Mumbai Indians win the match today, they can change their position in the points table and qualifyThere would have been plenty of chances to do so, but with the defeat, Mumbai Indians' chances of qualifying are almost over. Maybe Mumbai Indians have four matches left so even if they win these four matches they may or may not have a chance to qualify. But in today's match, LSG is in the third position with 12 points in the points table with a win.
