T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[bryant.coleman]

Just unbelievable. Lord Tewatia did it again. This time around, he got the support from Riyan Parag as well. When Sanju Samson was out, RR was struggling at 78/5. At this point, I thought that RR had zero chance. But then Tewatia had other plans. This win is quite big for Rajasthan Royals, after their four consecutive defeats (some of them by very big margins).

Yup, Rahul Tewatia is truly a exceptional player, done it again when team needs. It was worth keep watching after 5 wickets. What a come back after 78/5, a brilliant partnership by young telent Tewatia and Parag. Such a splendid rescuer which gives Rajasthan Royals two points today!

Out of the 26 matches completed till now, the team batting second have won only 6 times. 18 out of 26 times, it was the team that batted first which tasted victory and two times it went to super-over. Now out of the 6 matches where the team batting second won, 33% was as a result of Rahul Tewatia. That shows how important he is. SRH tried really hard with their young bowlers... but hard luck...

MI won the match so comfortably, in the last few overs DC fought back with some quick wickets but its too late to restrict the champion side and with this win they replace the DC in the top 1 position and both are at the same 10 points in the half way of this season.

Okay what is your prediction about the four teams will qualify for the playoffs, mine - MI,DC,RCB and RR. Don't forget to say yours.

You guys seem to be forgetting the fact that both Tewatia and Parag were really lucky since they both got an extra life. Tewatia was bowled, but the bails didn't fall while Parag was dropped in the field. RR had insane luck on their side.

Way too early to predict the playoff teams. If I had to guess though, I would bet on MI, DC, KKR and SRH to make it to the playoff stage. This could be the first time for CSK to not qualify.

Yeah.. Tewatia was lucky there... the zing bails were glowing, but they didn't fell. But this incident happened in the 18th over (5th ball), and by then RR was almost home. At this point, they needed 23 runs from 14 balls. So even if he had got out, there was a good chance that RR could have won the match. And regarding the dropped catch, I don't think you can blame Parag for that.

Yes too early to say, just the guess of who and that is good picks as well.But I feel KKR and SRH still winning the matches by luck and not seen much comprehensive wins like RR and RCB posted in this season.Tomorrow there will be clash between KKR and RCB after that each team will complete their 7 matches.

Rahul Tewatia joins Rajasthan Royals & Ajinkya Rahane joins Delhi Capitals in swap deal for the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) . Tewatia made 189 runs in 7 matches and also took 5 wickets & Rahane just made 15 runs in 1 match. Tewatia is the next superstar of IPL.

It's tough to predict which team would have won if the bails fell and if Rahul got out. Do you remember the recent Punjab debacle? They needed 24 runs from 20 balls which was an easier equation and they had around 8 wickets in hand.

Almost everyone predicted Punjab to cruise to a win, but they messed up royally. RR would have been in a worse situation if Rahul got out since bowlers would come out to bat under high pressure. Luck was on RR's side.

Rahul Tewatia has mad 2 fifty in the IPL this season. Both were great and his team has won both. He is playing very well when the team needs him. After losing 5 wickets in their last game i thought they could not win the match. They win the match because of Parag and Tewatia's unbeatable performance. A breathtaking match we enjoyed.

KXIP has a habit of losing matches which they could have won easily. On the other hand, so far in this IPL the Rajasthan Royals have won matches from a position in which they were written off (against SRH yesterday, and then against KXIP on 27th September). Among other factors, captaincy also made the difference. People such as Steve Smith and Shreyas Iyer have captained their teams very efficiently so far in this tournament. On the other hand, Rahul and Dhoni were not that impressive.

MI bowling is also very competitive and good right now they are doing very good job and look like we are going to have MI and DC in for top positions for this years title no other team going to challenge them CSK and RCB both going down very badly even both also have some good and exciting players in ranks.

Mumbai Indians bowling department is delivering their best from both sides. They have got talented bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Rahul chahar who are playing the key role this time. Even their batting lineup is enough strong to make competitive total in every match. If you look at other teams then you will find gaps between fast and spin bowlers combination but MI isn't facing any problem in this field and due to this reason they are one step ahead than other still now.

Alrhough its cricket and anything can happen but if they can continue the same performance then we can expect that they will gonna get the trophy again.

            

KXIP simply disillusion me against DC. The score wasn't instructed to pursue yet they lose.
Most noteworthy players like Maxwell couldn't convey their 100% and contribute only a few scores and toward the end, they lose super over.
Anyways this team currently becomes a crapy group there was potential at the beginning of the tournament however now they simply broke the hearts of their fans.

Glenn Maxwell is not in good form for sometime now and I guess they need to give him a short break (may be 2-3 matches). They have excellent batsmen such as Karun Nair and Sarfaraz Khan warming the bench. These players are quite experienced and can help the KXIP if they are chasing big targets. Also, Chris Gayle needs to be brought in to the playing XI. I don't care who will lose their slot in the playing XI, but Gayle needs to be in.

[bryant.coleman]

I have no hopes for this team as they are in a stage wherein if they do changes in their team they will still struggle. Losing in a row and so closely might have already destroyed their morale. They have problems not only in batting but also in bowling

Look at the KXIP squad. They have some of the best T20 players available: Chris Gayle, Mohammed Shami, KL Rahul, James Neesham, Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran, Chris Jordan, Sheldon Cottrell.etc. Despite all this, they have lost 5 matches in a row. If despite all these players they are losing so many matches, then I think the blame should be on the captain and the coach (Anil Kumble).

Has anyone read this article about yesterdays match between MI and DC. This is in regards to tweets by MI, which have now been deleted and are now sparking fixing tumors on Twitter.

I am not sure about the authenticity of this article but if it is true then something is surely not right.

Normally I don't believe in these conspiracy theories... but this was really suspicious. How can this tweet appear during the second over of the match, and then DC end up exactly at the same score? But now it appears that the Mumbai Indians never tweeted it, and the OP (Lisborn Lopes) had photoshopped it. I am told that he has a habit of producing such fake evidence.

Let's talk about today's match RCBvKKR. RCB won the toss and elected to bat first. Both team have made one changes at the Playing XIs for today. Both have equivalent opportunities to win however I've more certainty over KKR, that's the reason putting bet on KKR today. Since both teams has run machines so hope big score today.

RCB has started off well. 58 without a loss on 7th over.
But it's too early to decide for the game. Bangalore and Kolkata both had some close contested wins but overall, KKR team has always been a more balanced one in every of the IPL and I do believe KKR team would come victorious over RCB in today's match as well.

What a knock by AB De Villiers 73(33),He just smashed KKR bowling.RCB made194/2 in first innings. Though RCB short 20-25 runs as Sharjah is batting favour venue but RCB bowlers bowled really well in last match so it's going be very tough for KKR.

AB de Villiers took the score above 190 runs, by the way Kohli was playing i did not expect them to reach that score but he played one hell of an innings to take the team in a slow pitch and KKR is struggling as they lost 4 wickets till now and they still have Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell in the crease and if they want to win both these players need to play an incredible innings.

First AD de Villiers and now Sundar give really big win to RCB and now its going to be very interesting as these guys doing really stunning work for rest of IPL after today's performance they are going to be in top three which is best for them and now rest of few teams need to perform like this for place in Play Off's.

I am impressed with the performance of RCB when i thought they are done with the tournament, ABD gave them the flow of runs they were looking for and the bowlers bowled brilliantly and the pitch looks like difficult to score runs, i was expecting more sixes in this match but the boundary hits are becoming harder as the pitch slows down.
