T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[mersal]

Feeling the excitement of the match DC vs RR. RR need just 37 runs in their next 24 balls where the required rate just under 8. Strike rotation is important at that point since it's not easy to play a new batsman. Looking forward an easy win for RR.

Rajasthan Royals could have won the match easily but then Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada bowled some serious pace in the final overs and that made the difference and Nortje was clocking at over 150 kmph and his slowest delivery was around 133 kmph which is funny considering those are the stock delivery for some bowlers  .

Poor effort from the RR batsmen, they lost this match from this hand.At some point they just need to score run a ball to win that match but they kept losing their wickets instead of rotating the strike, now the chances of getting into playoffs are getting more narrower for both RR and KXIP, since they look too weak at the middle that is the place they need to fireup if they want to win the upcoming matches.

They were on target. After the 10th over, they were very comfortably placed at 85/2. Then Stokes and Samson got out in quick succession and the downfall started from there. When Riyan Parag fell victim to a silly runout, their fate was sealed. Chasing even medium-sized targets have been difficult during this season. The toss is playing a very prominent role here.

A few days ago, I decided that I would not place any more bet on RR.  And as usual, I bet on DC today. DC scored only 161. It is not a very big target. After 10 over RR scored 85 runs and lost only 2 wickets. I thought I might lose today's bet. But RR didn't disappoint me . They lost the match as usual and I won the bet. By watching RR's match, we can learn how to lose a winning match and how to win a losing match.

Pitches behaving different as well. At start of tournament batsmen were smashing bowlers all over the ground in the death over but now every team is kinda struggling to get going during last 4-5 overs. Delhi struggled at the end and Rajasthan performed poorly too, both team manage to get only 32 ish and 25ish runs only.

Pitches getting dry and dusty which makes them to be more slower but still bowlers are doing really good because they adapted to the condition now making the batsmen struggle to hit over the top.Dhawan did the capitaincy surprisingly and he did really well when there are other experienced players are in the squad of DC.

The pitch at Dubai is not as easy to bat, as the one in Sharjah. So you can expect a maximum of 50-60 runs in the final 5 overs. On the other hand, 70-80 runs were not that unusual in Sharjah. Also, at least some of the bowlers have learnt how to make use of the conditions by now. Check how Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada bowled today, during the depth overs. Even R Ashwin did a great job, during the 16th over.

DC is having a good bowling unit and so is the reason they could come back in the game by picking wickets and it is a fact that toss is a crucial aspect in this IPL as chasing is difficult as the pitch becomes slower as the match goes but i was really impressed with the pace of Nortje who bowled a 157 kmph ball and i think he is the fastest bowler in world cricket right now.

Don't forget about the Mitchell Starc who still holds the fastest of of current international player who clocked at 160Kmph but I guess the fastest ball bowled in 2020 will be that on by Nortje last night. Not much of dew factor but still pitches starts to get slower and chasing becomes harder along with the chasing pressure that is why team who batted first holds more wins than the second one.

Yesterday's match was a completely one sider match, I hate such matches in the T20 format. It was known that DC would win but expected RR to give them a tough fight.

Todays match is between RCB and KXIP as per Google the probability of RCB winning this match is 58 percent as compared to 42 percent. I completely agree that RCB will win this match unless KXIP does something different today.

[Swordsoffreedom]

                                          

What do you think about today's match? KXIP has played 7 matches and won only 1 match. That is against RCB. Do you think they will be able to beat RCB again?
What is your opinion? And which team will you bet on today?

LOL.. yesterday's match was anything but a one-sided match. The winning probability changed so many times and RR had a good chance of victory, even after losing their top batsmen. It was a match between two teams of equal strength. Delhi Capitals prevailed in the end, because they had better depth-over bowlers in Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. Also, Tewatia magic didn't worked for RR yesterday.

KXIP will take this match seriously and almost every match is do or die match for them and I hope they will give out their 100% to win this match.RCB is stronger side though and they have better probability to win this match but IPL is an unpredictable tournament, anything can happen at any match.

KXIP should blame themselves for whatever happened to them so far. KL Rahul's captaincy has been appalling, and they have persisted with the players even after repeated poor performances. They have some of the best players available, such as KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Shami, Sheldon Cottrell.etc. But their performance on the field doesn't match their star power.

I expect major changes in their match today especially looking for Gayle's inclusion.And cottrell bowled really well but he went for huge run on that tewatia strike that is the only concern and that shows lack of experience in the capitan side., Yesterday also RR needs very few runs and Tewatia is on the strike but he couldn't because he doesn't have much range of shots and that should be analysed when the player is in the ground itself if they want to make strategical wins.

I have to disagree. How exactly are RR and DC similar in strength? Currently, DC and MI are equal in strength while RR should be compared to a team like KKR. DC is far better in literally every aspect.

Tewatia messed up yesterday along with other RR batsmen like Smith etc. Smith has been out of form recently while Kohli has retained his form which has affected both their teams in a big way. RR continue to lose while RCB continue to win.

Dc is stronger team but don't forget they lost 4th men now due to injuries and it seems Shreyas Iyer struggling with his shoulders and probably going to miss out next few matches or even completely the remaining matches, expected official update will be released in next few hours.

About mid season transfer,still there is no franchise has mentioned anything about trading their players and already Csk and MI announced that they are not going to trade any of their players.

I do not consider it to be an equal match, it was always a one sided match. DC are a far better team than RR and tewatia is a fluk he might work and might not which he proved yesterday. You cannot rely on this guy. The winning probability changes every time a six, four is scored or a wicket is down. This is quite normal in betting

The outcome of the match and the margin of victory proves that it was a close match. But I agree with Haunebu in saying that as far as team balance and performance during the depth overs is concerned, Delhi Capitals is far ahead of Rajasthan Royals. We were hoping that the inclusion of Ben Stokes may change the fortunes for Rajasthan Royals. However, he is yet to impress his critics in this IPL.

I am agreed with that DC is far better thatn RR. But I have little doubt that yesterday match was a one-sided match. RR had a big chance to win the match if they could avarage batting from first to last. After reaching the 100 runs RR can not do batting well. but it was a one sided I have a doubt about it.



BTW today't mathc RCB vs KXIP. what do you think about this match? In the google win provability RCB Is ahead of KXIP.

Google predictions are only right now and then. If they are accurate majority of the time, gamblers would have earned tons of profit through them, but that isn't the case since IPL is so freaking unpredictable basically.

I chose to bet on KXIP this time around since I am confident that they will turn things around in this match since they have a great team mostly. I hope they learn quickly from their past blunders.
