T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Swordsoffreedom]

As per the reports gayle is not really fit to play games that is why they are going with Maxwell again and recently he played good for his nation but keep failing miserably when it comes to IPL tournament for years.

Maxwell should be promoted up the order and once he gets going he could clear any boundary and not sure what is the fitness issue with Gayle but if he is in the team he could change any match even at this age.
What about today's match, i am confused which team to pick. I expect CSK to play better after they dominated the last match but the rest of the players were not tested. They need to promote Sam Curran up the order as he is striking the ball well in this IPL.

I will bet on KKR. The main reason is KKR is more stable than CSK. I expected a good innings from S. Gill, A. Russel and E. Morgan. I think this 3 is the best on their position. N. Rana and D. Karthik also good player. On the other hand, CSK is a good team also. But they have not any players who are playing well on a regular basis except du Plessis. That's why I bet on KKR today.

Considering CSK has really struggled so far in this tournament, it will be wrong to expect miracles from them. But then, KKR hasn't performed that good either. The big issue for KKR is that Sunil Narine and Andre Russell are yet to reach their peak form. Shubman Gill and Eoin Morgan got the runs during the previous matches. Anyway, a lot is going to depend on who wins the toss.

The team that are playing today I like most. Both are very favorite to me. So this is the day for me to enjoy both sides. Far now KKR is doing well. and gathered more than 50 runs and lost 1 wicket in the powe play. It's looks quite good. But CSK also will not give up them easily. So Whatever the score do by kkr, Csk will try hard to chased. I want say it fifty fifty chance to win for both team.

KKR decide to bat first which was good decision until now as gathered more than 90 runs with over 9 run rate after losing 2 wickets. Could CSK bowlers restrict them under 170? Unfortunately I'll have to say that I am unable to make any bet today as I could not figure it out. As you have said both has equal chances to win so lets watch if CSK can make great come back by chasing.

I will bet on KKR . The main reason is KKR is more stable than CSK. I expected a good innings from S. Gill , A. Russel and E. Morgan . I think this 3 is the best on their position . N. Rana and D. Karthik also  good player . On the other hand CSK is a good team also. But they have not any players who are playing well on a regular basis except du Plessis. That's why i bet on KKR today

The problem i see with Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell is that they are susceptible to short pitch bowling and if CSK bowlers could not bang in short pitch ball at pace then they could score heavily.

Right now Kolkata Knight Riders is scoring at a healthy pace and anything above 170 could be a big challenge for CSK to chase and with Russel and Morgan yet to come they could very well score above that and KKR could win the match because they have a solid bowling team that include Pat Cummins and some young bowlers.

KKR lost all their wickets for 167, I thought they are going to score something near 200 but they lost wickets in the middle and death overs, no one really played better other than Tripathi.This is another good chance for CSK to win and break the criticism for this year because they lost three in a row and suddenly people call them as they will finish in the bottom of the table.

It was disappointing from the KKR, after starting so well. Even after 15-16 overs, I was hoping that they will end up around 180-190. But they scored 30 runs lower. The Abu Dhabi ground is not that easy to bat on, but even then a score above 180 would have guaranteed them a victory. Between 160 and 180, it can go either way. Fortunately for the KKR, they got Faf du Plessis out early.

It was accurate as they lost the wickets to short pitch bowling but i thought they both play short pitch bowling well and they lost their wickets today to short pitch balls which was accurate. I was looking at your past predictions and your predictions are mostly on spot. Post your predictions early so that we could follow that and try our luck as well.

At starting KKR run rate quite good to make supposition that they could undoubtedly reach almost 200 yet that is not going happen really. Nothing surprising though as they are losing wickets in regular. At this moment CSK are 142-5 and require another 26 runs with 6 balls remaining. So, Congrats to KKR.

I don't know what is wrong with CSK. This was a match they could have easily won. They had the advantage up to the 16th or 17th over, when Kedar Jadhav came and just dug in without scoring any runs. He even refused to take singles and pass the strike to Jadeja. And this has happened to CSK at least 2-3 times so far in this tournament. I don't want to go in to various conspiracy theories... but can't ignore the fact that CSK was suspended for two years in the past for match fixing.

Dhoni was in with Curran when I leave for outside and now checking its really shocking result for me because CSK can go in trouble again for this its really shocking result for all of us they lost this match fron no way they can won very easily but after checking this result I am feeling we will have something in coming days about this match.

Everyone tried to win thi match other than Jadhav and I guess its time for him to sit on the bench for the rest of the tournaments, if he did well or atleast par then CSK would be left with four winnings because this match and the one before the last match too costly when he did nothing and conceded too many balls. KKR played really good at the end and pulled their win from the hands of CSK literally.

CSK has the most senior players in their team in IPL, when other team are playing with young blood. They have some history, they have the capability but somehow couldn't use it properly. Very disappointed to watch such poor cricket.

True that! Disappointed with Dhoni too as I expected him to show his good form but he was also disappointing. Losing by 10 runs having wickets in hand doesn't even make sense. This time their performance has been the worst comparing the earlier seasons.

Dhoni is 39 years old and he cannot win the matches single handedly at this age and he is not having much experience in this ground even as an international cricket player, so you need to understand the difference in situation. They promoted Sam in this match but did not find any spectacular innings like everyone expected and in the end it was a big chase for them.

CSK wins the cap for the most inconsistent team in this IPL .

Still feeling hard time to assist the right combination in my opinion because they are very close to win but getting missed it due to silly mistakes.Age is not really a factor for their lose only the wrong shot selection from the individual costs them a lot.

I would disagree. CSK is one of the most consistent teams in this edition of the IPL. They have lost 4 of their last 5 matches. The sole victory (against KXIP was made possible by individual performances from Watson and du Plessis rather than any team effort). Anyway, this was expected even before the start of the tournament. What do you really expect from a team, where the majority of the players are in 35-40 age group? It won't work in T20 format.

Though KKR was won the match. But their batting was poor in last night. Looking at the first 10 over I thought they might score than 185 today. But I’m disappointed. No one was able to run except Tripathi.
But I don't agree with you that KKR is a solid bowling team. Their bowlers are playing well. MI's bowling action is much better than KKR. They have Boult, Bumrah, Pattinson, Chahar and Pollard. Everyone is good bowler.

Still feeling hard time to assist the right combination in my opinion because they are very close to win but getting missed it due to silly mistakes.Age is not really a factor for their lose only the wrong shot selection from the individual costs them a lot.

Yeah, age is not the factor for their lose. They lost the game because of their own mistakes. 167 is not a big target. I think bonding between them is not good. And there are no regular performers in their team. So, they are not getting the expected results even such a good team.

For KKR they have Pat Cummins who is bowling fast and on his day he could trouble any batsman and Varun Chakravarthy is bowling well and then the young players and they are filling up with some useful overs and Sunil Narine is not in great form but still he could pick some wickets here and there and that bowling line up was more than enough to strangle CSK .

The problem with IPL is that every team has the best team on papers but we lack those in performance, fielding was not up to the standard yesterday for CSK as they dropped some tough chances, bowlers need to avoid bowling no balls and every chance should be taken to win matches.

If Kedar Jadhav had given strike to Jadeja, then CSK would have won easily. Jadeja made 21 from 8 balls, while Jadhav made just 7 from 12 balls. If Jadeja had the opportunity to play 3-4 additional deliveries, then he could have handed out a victory to CSK. Jadhav was just blocking the balls, without attempting to make runs. And in the end this attitude cost the CSK two valuable points.

You cannot blame one player for the loss. The whole team was struggling against KKR from the beginning. Only in the end when Jadeja started hitting everyone thought CSK still can win but it was too late. The openers and the middle order of CSK are struggling from day one and not to forget pathetic fielding.
