T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Chennai Super Kings lost out mainly because of Shivam Dube. He came in as an impact sub and wasted a lot of balls. Made just 7 runs from 15 balls (when the required run rate was close to 12 runs per over) and then he ran out Rachin Ravindra, who was batting exceptionally till then. Critics may say that he just had a bad day out there. But for me, what he did was something that can't be forgotten. If there was no impact sub, then CSK should have easily won this match and they could have qualified for the playoffs instead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Rachin could have stayed on crease, and let Dube run-out, as you said he wasn't playing good anyway. Though, I feel if Rachin did not hesitate for second run he could have completed it, it was this hesitancy that costed wicket.

I don't think blame can be put on impact sub, game was in CSK's hands even in last over, 11 of 5 was doable. MSD got out, Thakur on strike, a dot ball, and pressure kept building up, and ship drowned.

Felt CSK gave up too early and they were only aiming for 201 target, just to qualify and in doing so kinda messed up.

But have to say RCB managed to do impossible. It felt like some sort of kinetic energy was behind them, they were so into it and kept throwing punches.

[Cheema02]

RCB finished their batting and managed to collect 218 runs with the loss of five wickets. Both Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli opened with good runs, and all the batsmen who came in later have been batting responsibly. Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green batted well later and the visitors were much inspired by their responsible batting. As RCB batted brilliantly in today's match and made a huge score they have a lot of chances to win so maybe they are more likely to qualify in IPL. If CSK does not play a good batting performance and responsibly in today's match then it will not be possible for them to qualify in IPL, but they will have to leave.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru outstanding performance by winning back to back matches and also win this match by 27 runs. The Player of the Match is Faf du Plessis for his amazing batting skill scored a fifity 54 runs from just 39 balls and reached the total to 200 plus runs. Chennai Super kings tailed to chase down the target and Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualify to the playoff of this IPL session.

Today match Punjab kings vs sunrise hyderabad will face each other today but between these two teams I will put sunrise hyderabad ahead because sunrise hyderabad batting line is very strong their batsmen are batting great. If the Sunrise Hyderabad batsmen can bat responsibly in today's match, they can definitely win against Punjab Kings. Cricket is a very demanding game as Punjab Kings have a great win against Kolkata Knight Riders with a target of 260 runs. But it seems that Sunrise Hyderabad's batting line is very strong and if their batsmen can bat well then there will definitely be a chance to win.

The batsmen of Chennai Super Kings were under some pressure after losing two wickets in the beginning to bat against the target of 219 runs given by RCB. Yesterday's match was really a high voltage match at one time it looked like Chennai Super Kings would qualify but after Mahendra Singh Dhoni got out the run came to a standstill. Virat Kohli's side performed brilliantly as they beat Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs to secure qualification. But when Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bowl in yesterday's match, I was thinking that today's match might be Chennai Super Kings losing. RCB batsmen tried their best to perform well due to which RCB scored 218 runs in allotted 20 overs. If the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings could have bowled a little better, if they could have limited RCB to 200 runs, then last night's match would have definitely won Chennai Super and confirmed the qualification.

what I do believe once Dhoni retires, Chennai will be even more exposed since they rely heavily on him. CSK could have easily qualified, but they lost because of Shivam Dube's slow innings, which put the team under pressure. Another reason is that CSK's local bowlers haven't performed well in the last few matches. CSK has a lot to work on, but they played well overall. Meanwhile, RCB are through to the playoffs! Coming from far behind and knocking six teams out of contention is remarkable. Carry on, King Kohli and his team. You have to appreciate a team that wins six matches in a row. With the way they're playing, they deserve to win this year's IPL, but there's still a long way to go.

So many random dumdums already declared among themselves that MSD retired when he hasn't officially made it clear yet. Was confused because of those fools to be honest. Hope he can play for 1 more season as usual.

Also, him hitting the monstrous six in the final over actually helped RCB because they got a new ball that was tougher for the batsmen to hit. Crazy lucky RCB!

15 balls are too much in T20 format, Shivam Dube batting in yesterday game is very much suspicious. If you can't hit the ball then just get out of the field rather then wasting too much deliverers. CSK target was just to make 201 and move to next round. It's surprising to see CSK fall short of making 201 which is not a big asking in IPL. Congrats to RCB for making such an exceptional come back in IPL.

Chennai were in very good form at the beginning of the season. Their squad was also quite strong. At the beginning of the season I was sure that Chennai would qualify for the playoffs. But in the end the team could not qualify for the playoffs. Even after being 2 points ahead of Bengaluru, the Chennai team could not keep the fourth place in the table. I would say Chennai was unlucky.

Shivam Dube scored just 7 runs from 15 balls. I didn't think an experienced batsman like Dube would bat so stupidly. I would say Dube's poor batting is one of the reasons why Chennai didn't qualify for the playoffs. Otherwise, Chennai would have qualified for the playoffs.

Netherlands Tri-Nation T20I Series

In the first match of the T20 series between the Netherlands and Scotland, the Netherlands stunned Scotland and won by a huge margin of 41 runs. Vivian Kingma picked up four wickets for just 21 runs and ended the match with the first ball of his last over. In a word, Scotland got dusted by Vivian Kingma. Maybe in the next game, I can give a very good surprise from Kingma. The Netherlands is slowly becoming a developed cricket country. Congratulations to the Netherlands cricket team.

Your are right Netherlands performed outclassed in the first match first they scored a huge total of 168 runs for Scotland. Michael Levitt played an aggressive inning of 43 runs from just 31 balls, but he missed his well deserved half-century by 7 runs short but helped his team to set a huge target. Gavin Main bowling well picked 2 important wickets by just giving only 26 runs. Scotland disappointing batting performance All out team in just the 19th over of the match.

Chennai Super kings tailed to chase down the target and Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualify to the playoff of this IPL session.

One of the major contributors in that match was Glenn Maxwell from RCB. The Australian player has just a work that would never finish which is to perform in important matches as today Glenn Maxwell again performs at the end of the innings.
Maybe if he didn’t make those 16 runs in 5 balls then maybe Royal Challengers Bengaluru would lose the match because then there could be pressure on the bowler and if by chance the bowler gave some bad ball due to pressure then Royal Challengers Bengaluru can still have lost. However, I think this is the work of Australian players because they have very good finishers that always lead them to the win. Finally, Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualified.

Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bat first and scored 214 runs in a loss of 5 wickets against sunrise Hyderabad. The batting performance of Punjab kings was outstanding especially Prabhsimran Singh played an important innings of 71 runs from just 45 balls and Rossouw also batt well scored 49 runs from just 24 balls and reached the Punjab Kings total of 200 plus. sunrise Hyderabad needs to good opening partnership to chase down 215 huge targets.

Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bat first. Punjab Kings scored 214 runs in scheduled 20 overs due to responsible batting by Punjab Kings batsmen. Punjab Kings have given a target of 215 runs to Sunrise Hyderabad, if the batsmen of Sunrise Hyderabad can bat responsibly then it is not a big target for them, they will win very easily. If the bowlers of Punjab Kings can bowl aggressively from the start, Sunrise Hyderabad may be under some pressure. But I think Hyderabad's batting line is very strong if they can bat well then they will easily cross the target. If Punjab Kings win or lose today's match, there is no harm, but if Sunrise Hyderabad wins today's match, they will be number two in the points table. Let's see if finally Sunrise Hyderabad can win today's match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's opening batsmen failed today especially when Head got out for 0 as their opening pair fell apart. However, while one of Hyderabad's opening batsmen was out, another opening batsman, Avishek Sharma, batted brilliantly. Abhishek Sharma's contribution to the victory in today's match is unique as he scored 66 runs off just 28 balls. The young player of Indian origin has performed very well in almost most of the matches in this tournament. Punjab Kings put up a very fighting score in today's match but they lost mainly due to the batting performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen. Unfortunately, Punjab Kings could not even win their last group stage match in this year's Indian Premier League.

[Fuso.hp]

CSK were just 10 runs short of making it to next round. What a come back by RCB to this year IPL, they lost 7 of there eight initial games and when everyone said there IPL journey is over they came back by winning all of there last 6 games. There are still 2 games left in group stages but we have now all four teams confirmed for next round.

Remember the date , 18th May 2024 because that is the date where we have seen MS Dhoni for the last time on the ground because after that we will not see him when he is doing practice and bating in the ground because now his time is over. 
When MS Dhoni was out then the whole Royal Challengers Bengaluru team, players, and also fans were happy because they got a wicket but also that was the last match for him so it doesn’t allow us to be happy in this because after 2019, when he took international retirement now the day has came where he retired with all leagues as well.

If MS Dhoni could have played two or three more balls, RCB's dream of qualifying for the playoffs might have ended. The way MS Dhoni started hitting over boundaries one after another kept the RCB fans very tensed but when MS Dhoni got out there was a bit of hope again. A competitive match like the one played yesterday between rcb and chennai super kings doesn't usually happen in the final of a major tournament. Since rcb got the chance they should make use of this opportunity and by performing well in the next two matches they must secure the final.

I wasn't interested in either match today at first but then as SRH got to second place after winning against PBKS, and me going for eliminator game in Ahemdabad to see SRH vs RCB (RR games are dull, could care less) so now I lowkey want RR to win current one, so they go back to second spot, and we see SRH in eliminator.

Edit: Rain again, Jesus Christ, match better does not get abandoned, though KKR is having high chances to win this match anyway.

[Haunebu]

SRH won their game in style against Punjab who put up a good fight after winning their recent game. Hyderabad bowlers except for Natarajan bowled like crap, but their batsmen are seriously something else.

Head, Abhishek, Nitish and Klaasen are an epic quartet. Looks like they will stay in 2nd position while RR will have to play the eliminator against RCB. Ideal for me since KKR and SRH are both my favorite teams.

As we are having batting from the PBKS I was thinking things could be not easy for the SRH while they will be chased huge target, but things were clearly favourable for the SRH even their lost their main batsman into first over of their inning but Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen done good job for the SRH which give them thumbing win and second spot which is now waiting for the official announcement of second game which is not started yet due to rain in Guwahati.

We have good batting from the PBKS, but their bowling is just like crap which give them been never good time while they are having just 5 wins and 9th spot into this season which is surely not good for them and their all fans.

Pakistan women vs England women. 3rd T20I

Another match and another loss. Pakistan women team have lost another T20 series and this time its a whitewash. England gave target of 176 only because of Danni Wyatt brilliant knock of 87 runs on just 48 balls. In reply just see the strike rate of Pakistani batters, both openers played with strike rate of run a ball. Pakistani team played full 20 overs and lost just 4 wickets, seems like Pakistani batters were interested in improving personal stats only not in winning the match.

Hyderabad is a very strong team this season. Hyderabad's batting order in particular is very strong. Almost every batsman in the squad is in very good rhythm and capable of batting at a smart strike rate. Moreover, most of the IPL matches are being held on batting friendly pitches. This is why Hyderabad have no problem scoring big. Even by batting at a big target, the team is able to win easily.

Hyderabad is a very strong team but Sunrisers Hyderabad team has been defeated in 5 matches. So defeating this team is not impossible. If the bowlers perform well, it is possible to defeat the Hyderabad team. So it is not yet certain whether Hyderabad will qualify for the finals. Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Rajasthan each have strong squads.

Today's match England women team performed very well due to which Pakistan women team did not win the game. Pakistan women's team lost this match, and it was a whitewash as they failed to win a single match in the series. England Women's team put up a very good batting performance with 176 runs, a huge score for a team in a T20 match. And Pakistan women team could have succeeded if they had tried better, but their game was not much improved but batting performance was a bit disappointing. Pakistan Women's team managed just 142 runs for the loss of four wickets, if they had played to the target per over, today's match would certainly not have been a whitewash. In today's match, Pakistan women's batsmen were most disappointed, if they had batted well, they would have won. With this batting performance, it is not possible for Pakistan women's team to win T20 matches, so I think they need to improve their game.

I was sure that Pakistan would lose this series. Because Pakistan women's team is far behind compared to England women's team. In the second match, England Women's team set a target of just 145 runs. However, the Pakistan Women's team lost the match by a huge margin of 65 runs. Pakistan women's team mustered only 79 runs. After seeing the result of this match I was sure that Pakistan women team will lose in the last match as well.

As usual we don't see good performance from Pakistan women team even in last match. England Women set a huge target of 177 runs. Pakistan women's team did not have the ability to win by batting against such a big target. However, Pakistan Women's team batted well enough and scored 142 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Pakistani women team players need to work harder.
