T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Ayiranorea]

So, Chennai are going to chase again as Kings XI Punjab have won the toss and chose for bat first against CSK. CSK team has zero changes while KXIP rolled out a three changes today, Gayle is missing in todays squad what I say poor team selection by KXIP. I'll make on bet over KXIP today.

Target set by KXIP seems to be reachable without much pressure. By the end of first six overs CSK has managed to make 60 runs without any loss of wicket. This is a strong start for CSK to make a winning, the more runs scored in the early overs help with reaching the target with ease even if some wickets fall in between.

After lot of struggle CSK's opening pair posted very good total in the power play overs 60 for no loss and now the things are going well for CSK so the players need to play sensibly from now and keep their hope alive in this season.Mandeep played really well and also Pooran had good knock after that no one able to go for big shots so they fell short of 20 runs in their final overs.

Look like Chennai Super Kings will win this all important match against Kings XI Punjab. They have made around 100 runs with no wicket loss. They should win easily from here. Both the openers Shane Watson and du Plessis are playing very sensibly.

For the last two matches, Francois du Plessis is opening the batting along with Shane Watson. The du Plessis/Watson combo seems to be doing much better than Vijay/Watson. But the middle order still looks vulnerable. I forgot the last time Kedar Jadhav scored a half century. He has scored 51 runs from 4 matches so far, and I don't know how this guy finds a place in the playing XI all the time.

Put my bet on Punjab today but CSK for a surprise is playing well. They need just 57 runs from 45 balls and have all 10 wickets in hand. Happy that they are performing but sad to lose this bet when first time I bet against the team.

Punjab need 2-3 wickets to slow CSK down else they'll get the runs in 3-4 overs.

CSK on the match by 10 wickets, that is really an comprehensive win that is needed for the CSK to bounce back in this season.On the other hand its sad to see KXIP on the bottom of the table even their two opening batsmen played really well in all their matches and of course they have the orange cap as well.

[MFahad]

Lost my last 2 bets so did not even feel like discussing anything.

Lost all my bets on Chennai except for the first one.

Last time bet against KKR and lost the bet and this time bet on KKR and lost the bet. This IPL is so unpredictable and teams that were poor performers are on the top of the table now. Tomorrow betting on Mumbai as even expert prediction is in favor of Mumbai only. Hope Mumbai doesn't disappoint me now.

You're losing too much bets in this IPL.  
Next time you bet on a team, tell us before, so we will bet on the other team and win

Honestly, Watson was playing horribly until this match and the faith that the CSK team had in him was worth it. Same thing can happen to Jadhav too which is why they probably will continue letting him play.

On the other hand its sad to see KXIP on the bottom of the table even their two opening batsmen played really well in all their matches and of course they have the orange cap as well.

Punjab should only blame themselves for this mess. They lost several matches which they should have easily won(DC, RR etc). Their bowlers disappointed them primarily.

It was a really strong come back from CSK after loosing three straight matches and i did not expect them to dominate the bowlers and win by 10 wickets and if they could perform like this then they could be a force to recon with but they need to sort their middle order issues and promote Sam Curran up the order rather than keeping everything for the last moment.

Finally, Chennai Super Kings have enlisted a 10 wickets win over KXIP. What a fine opening act this this duo Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson, as they were looking such kind of brilliant and terrific batting execution. The highest partnership ever in history of IPL so we can't predict this IPL as it's a real suspense. As MSD said It was just matter of time. So, good things take time and hopefully CSK carry this rhythms for next matches.

The CSK bowling was not up to the mark. They won the game only because of Watson/du Plessis. None of the other players can claim any role in this victory. Dubai International Cricket Stadium is such a big ground and even then the CSK bowlers conceded 178 runs in 20 overs. Chahar and Jadeja were the only bowlers who escaped punishment. And Dhoni made a big blunder by not allowing Chahar to bowl his full quota of overs.

I understand that this is IPL season and everyone is fully involved in IPL but there is another tournament which is worth watching. I am talking about the National T20 Cup 2020. I think only the people from Pakistan may be more interested in this tournament but its worth mentioning here because i do not see any discussion on it yet.

Look like no one wants to discuss about this tournament but i will continue giving information about it  

There will be two matches to be played today.  First between Balochistan Vs Southern Punjab (Pakistan) and the second one between Northern (Pakistan) Vs Sindh. Both of these matches will be played in Multan cricket stadium.

As i see this is a domestic tournament and no involvement of international players. Why would any one will be interesting to watch this domestic
series?

Last time bet against KKR and lost the bet and this time bet on KKR and lost the bet. This IPL is so unpredictable and teams that were poor performers are on the top of the table now.

Last match i bet on DC an i won that . And today i wanna bet on MI . Almost all of MI batsmen are in form now . And evryone  is great player for the T20 format . So that think MI will score more than 185 and easily can beat SRK .

Todays first match I am also going for MI, they have a strong team as compared to SRH. For the second match I am pretty confused, looking at the past matches I am thinking on putting my money on KXIP but the odds are favoring CSK pretty much confused what to do now?

CSK has lost 3 matches out of 4 and KXIP has also lost 3 out of 4. What do you guys think?

Although it a risk but i would suggest you to bet on CSK. They may have lost many matches and are not in good form at the moment but this is a do die match for them and they cannot afford another loss. They will make sure they win todays match and i will be betting on them today. It's worth taking the risk.

I took your advice and placed my bets on CSK, they won by 10 wickets and I made some good profits. MI was a one sided game so did not placed any bets on that match. In today's match DC is ranked 2 and RCB is 3 on points both teams have potential and I feel this match will be close. I have not decided who to choose but I feel DC would be the right choice.

DC is a more balanced team when compared to RCB. They are one of the few teams, who don't have any vulnerabilities in both the top order and the middle order (Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant.etc). Protean pair of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have performed really well so far, and their spinners have also bowled well (Ashwin/Mishra).

I'm looking forward to watching a competitive match today. Both of the team are strong. Anything can happen in this match. But I want to place my bet on DC today. Because DC is more stable than RCB. Everyone on their tram has contributed to win a match. So, I will put my bet on DC.

You never know. IPL is so freaking unpredictable. DC is a very well-balanced team, but they ended up losing comfortably against an unbalanced SRH recently. Many didn't expect that, but I did due to the nature of this tournament.

This is why balance doesn't always matter in this league. RCB have recovered their form recently which is why they could win comfortably against DC.

RCB has a habit of being inconsistent. If they perform well in one match, then you can be more or less sure that they will perform in a pathetic manner during the next match. They do have some of the biggest names in their squad, such as Virat Kohli, Aaron Finch, AB de Villiers and Yuzvendra Chahal. But with such a strong squad, if you check the stats then you can see that they have underperformed.

~ As MSD said It was just matter of time. So, good things take time and hopefully CSK carry this rhythms for next matches.

Lets see whether CSK can play consistent cricket, they have issues with their bowling as well as the weak middle order and they can very well sort that out by promoting the big hitters up the order.
RCB has a good batting line up but they are leaking runs on the ground, missing catches and poor fielding and they lost matches this season because of their poor fielding and today too they missed the catch of Marcus Stoinis and i am expecting him to make the RCB pay for the miss as he is in great form and timing the ball well.

CSK has a consistent performance in almost all of the IPL tournaments they've played and current team is not that different from last year's, so I believe they'd keep improving themselves to reach the elimination games. RCB has always been unpredictable and their performance has been not so impressive. Though they have 3 out of 4 wins, not considering the running game, they lost to King's XI which is one of the poorest team for this tournament and some earlier. And the one's they won was also with close margins.

[lifeOK]

With the help of Marcus Stoinis unbeatable innings 53 out off just 26 balls help DC to set very challenging 196/4 from their 20 overs. Outstanding and absolutely stunning knocks by Marcus. Looks like DC will win today as RCB trouble again by falling quick wickets. Virat Kohli and ABD on the pitch, lets see how they long survive.

That's true. But you forgot the most important thing. Some of the key players are missing this time. Suresh Raina was the backbone of their middle order and Harbhajan Singh was their most lethal bowler. Both of them are missing in this edition of the IPL. And perhaps that is the reason why they are performing so badly this time. During the last time, CSK was the team which had the perfect balance. This time, they don't have any team balance.
