T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[UmerIdrees]

Also it will not effect the much because there will be only 3 to 4 matches in PSL only and people would watch them as they will decide the winner of this year's PSL. Cricket lovers can watch and follow both PSL and IPL at the same time. 

If the matches go ahead, then there will be significant viewership in Pakistan. But it will end up as a loss making exercise for the PCB. I would like them to cancel the remaining matches and to concentrate on PSL 2021. Else it will create a logistical nightmare. All the players (especially the overseas players) need to be brought in, quarantined and bubbles need to be set up.

The international players are ready to come and play. The tournament completion is also necessary for the money which is taken in advance for the  advisements and viewership rights etc. There are lot of other factors why PCB would like to complete the tournament even if they are not able to create the hype again.

People are betting on CSK today so even I joined a free prediction game and bet on CSK. Watching the match after 5 months of wait has been a sheer torture for me so damn excited now. Never knew about Hardik Pandya's brother till now.

People are betting on CSK today so even I joined a free prediction game and bet on CSK. Watching the match after 5 months of wait has been a sheer torture for me so damn excited now. Never knew about Hardik Pandya's brother till now.

Let's see. I made a bet in favor of MI. And surprisingly a majority from the Bitcointalk pool have opted for MI. Around 2 hours remain and till now there is no news of any of the players pulling out due to COVID 19 infection.

Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock will be opening for MI, and Trent Boult/Jasprit Bumrah are likely to open the bowling. For CSK, the middle-order looks strong, with the inclusion of Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. And indications are that Josh Hazlewood will be paying for CSK today, which will be a very big boost for them.

If CSK bats first, the big concern for the fans would be their ability to score quickly. Most of the players are 30 plus and many are 35 plus, and they don't have as many big hitters as MI.

My gut feeling says that the team which wins the toss will opt to field fist.

[JSRAW]

Putting some money on CSK in initial stage as odds are better, packed up all the pending work so will keep my eyes open today. I opted for MI in our pool as well but MI has a habit of losing every opening game and no idea how pitch is going to behave so will wait for pitch report and toss for final pick-up.

MI rarely win the league matches in the first 7 matches. But yeah on the comparision MI looks more stronger especially in the bowling unit where as in Chennai young talents and old veterans along with some new players so it is going to be a good test for both the teams.And of course the whole cricket fans in the world is waiting for the match which starts in the next 45 minutes.

Both teams are good but MI usually starts their games with a loss and then start winning games so hoping they follow this trend today as well.

Fielding first is better as the ground doesn't look like a high-scoring one. I feel 170-180 runs can be made max.

@erikalui MI have posted a total of 162 runs, and CSK have already lost the wickets of Watson and Vijay which has made this match suddenly very interesting to watch. Also if CSK continues to lose few more quick wickets then they’ll not be able to chase this target down, however if one or two partnerships can be formed till the 15th over then CSK will have an excellent chance of winning this game.

After that two early wickets, Rayudu and Faf playing sensibly and posted 50 run partnership meanwhile the required run rate is getting higher over 10+.CSK need two big overs to stop the required rate climbing too high or else it will be out of their hands in the final overs.

After a long time this IPL gave an opportunity to see the thriller match and also time with family.

Now Rayudu is doing best job for CSK as attacking on bowlers is going to help him some good they will be in better position in last overs 9 overs and 82 runs left to win with 8 wickets in hand is no big deal hopefully they will no chock and go through without any problem MI was in good position but their lowr middle order was unable to give some good runs so now all is in CSK hands lets see how they do this in death overs.

The match is equally positioned at this time and both teams can win this one, although CSK is little favorite because they have lost only 2 wickets.
If Chennai Super kings loses 1 or 2 wickets here, then the run rate can shot up and the target may become more stiff for them.

So you are suggesting that the match is evenly placed at this time but lets verify it through the odds. Below are the odds for this win market for this match.

[UmerIdrees]

Does anyone know where this match and the whole IPL season 2020 can be seen live on Internet (Youtube) as these matches are not been broadcasted in Pakistan sports channels  

Notably, there will be no IPL live telecast in Pakistan. The IPL broadcasters have also got into contracts with the local broadcasters in Afghanistan and Bangladesh for the IPL 2020 live streaming.

Snip~~~

Now it looks CSK is commanding the match with a big partnership of 115 for the third wicket,needs 42 from 25 balls.

Seems Hotstar is the only online platform which streaming IPL 2020 and it isn't available on Pakistan as well but you can download that app using VPN into your device and can buy the subscription with someone's help in your neighbouring country.

Are you betting on CSK ? There is no need to be sad on Rayudu dismissal as Chennai super kings will easily win this match. They only need 30 runs and still have 7 wickets in hand. Look like that Mumbai Indians will start the IPL with a first match loss.

That's really strange to know. IPL is broadcasted in 120 countries but Pakistan and China not in the list probably both the countries has some political tension with India. I think this is not fair as sporting events should not be mixed with bilateral diplomatic tensions.
Also its difficult to find the live coverage of matches on YouTube because only licensed media partners can broadcast the matches legally.

[erikalui]

Yay! CSK started with a win finally. Dhoni made no runs but still loved watching him after a long time lol

CSK's players were clearly better than MI with two players scoring half century. Even the bowlers were better.

CSK played better cricket today that is the difference, and its a known fact that MI will take time to settle between their teammates as always and they played destructively in the beginning but the only mistake is they kept losing wickets in the regular sessions which CSK made 100+ partnership at steady run rate made the big difference.

It not a practical solution as it is subscription based service and only avaible for the residents of India. Secondly i am not willing to spend the money to watch the IPL live action. I hope someone will come up with a free of cost solution.
