T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[pakhitheboss]

Generally, I have seen in T20 matches that if you score anywhere above 180 then it is competitive. This match start was really good but RCB were not able to maintain that momentum. I was too expecting them to score more than 200 but the middle order collapsed too fast. With only 156 runs to chase CSK won the match without any effort.

Depends on the pitch. In the UAE 160-180 can be competitive. RCB bowlers also did a poor job yesterday. The pacers (Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini and Harshal Patel) failed completely and the much hyped Wanindu Hasaranga was a big failure yesterday. Yuzvendra Chahal was the only one who performed well. It was a direct battle between Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. And as expected, the latter emerged as victorious, because he had better tactics. I am hearing some rumors as well. There was a statement by Nick Compton regarding bias in selection by Kohli.. I agree for most part, but don't want to go in to the details.

The way CSK has been performing in this season of IPL I feel they will take the cup this time. This might be the last IPL of Dhoni and he as well as the team are performing very good. Last season they struggled a lot.

If Chennai super kings wins this edition of the IPL, i think this will be a fitting end for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and he will be retiring from cricket for good. If there was no pandemic i expected him to be in the team and the team giving him a grand send off but now he is in the IPL and he is the most successful captain for India and he needs a fitting end to his career and hopefully we could see some great innings in this edition for MSD.

Today we have 2 matches in IPL and right now first match between Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals is playing where Royals bowlers done some good job and restrict Capitals strong batting line up as after end of 20 overs just 154/6 Just Iyer done some good all others fail to give any impression against quality bowling from Rahman and Sakariya these both done very good job for Royals Now all depends on Royals batting line up what is their response after very good job from their bowling line for win this match and jumps to third spot in league behind CSK and DC.

Rajasthan Royals decided to bowl after winning the toss. This is the right decision. Because DC's batsmen are very experienced. Rajasthan could not win against them with a low-run target. Rajasthan bowled well and managed to hold Delhi to just 154 runs. Mustafiz's bowling is very admirable. He was able to take 2 wickets with 22 runs in 4 overs. He has taken the wickets of two important players like Hetmyre and Rishab Pant.

IPL is too much unpredictable. And a lot of miracles happen here. And a lot of miracles happen here. In the previous match, the RR team scored 185 runs against Punjab. When DC gave a target of 155 runs today, I thought RR would win today. But they lost 2 wickets for 6 runs in just 1.1 overs. At the end of 7 overs, RR's collection is 28/3. They need 127 runs from 78 balls. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the match.

Even i was expecting Rajasthan Royals to win the match but they already lost 5 wickets and as long as Sanju Samson is in the crease they have the opportunity to win the match as he can strike the ball well and his captaincy was the reason they won the last match and even though their asking rate is 19 runs per over.

Damn another wicket is gone, now it is an impossible task as he cannot bat without anyone supporting on the other side.

I'm not sure whether Delhi Capitals bowlers bowled well or if Rajasthan Royals batsmen played poorly. I think both things but, nevertheless, congratulations on winning. Delhi Capitals won their match convincingly to take the top spot in the IPL2021 table. This year, Delhi deserves the IPL trophy for their contributions to the team from each individual.

I think Chennai will win the match if no miracle will happen. If all the other batsmen in Bangalore could have done the same as Kohli and Padikkal did, then Bangalore could have won the match. Bangalore managed to score only 156 runs. At least 180 more were needed to win against Chennai. Chennai's batsmen are experienced. They will not have to face any problem to collect 157 runs.

Yesterday i had a bad day, initially i thought Chennai would win the match but when Bangalore started well and scored a century run partnership i cashed out thinking that i made a bad bet and that happened yet again in another match as well and i am frustrated now and i am not betting for a few days in cricket as i am messing up my bets by cashing out and loosing big time.

Hyderabad went down to bat for the target of only 126 runs. But as soon as they started batting, they faced batting disaster. They lost Warner's wicket when the team's total is only 2 runs. Kane Williamson was out for just 1 run. SRH lost 5 wickets in 13 overs and scored only 60 runs. Wriddhiman Saha is unbeaten on 26 runs. When he will out, the match will go to PBKS.

I was not expecting collapse like this from Royals batting line up they're surely going down very badly right now and all hopes for play-offs are also ended all batsmen giving wickets like crap Delhi Capitals bowlers was on top from start of inning, and they are not allowed Royals batting to do something for win or near to win some magical bowling for their team Delhi Capitals and this win can give them top rank in league and sure spot in play-offs. Now time for Royals to think because now time is very short for comeback from this worst defeat.

In today's match the bowlers dominated the match and it is good to see this in T20 once in a while. Delhi Capitals bowlers were too good for Rajasthan Royals. Anrich Nortje, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Axar Patel and Avesh Khan bowled really well and if the Delhi Capitals were able to score a decent score then they have the bowlers to trouble the opposition.
The Punjab Kings match really surprised me as Sunrisers Hyderabad was chasing a modest score of 125 runs and yet they were not able to chase them and Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers but the rest of the bowlers contributed in the match to defend a small total.

Today's second match end with many twists as SRH done very good job restricted Punjab kings to just 125/7 Holder is God gifted fighter on top with his skills, but sadly he fails to provide some good results to his team now again today they were looking comfortable after brilliant bowling but now their batting line up is not giving same passion, and they lost this match by 5 runs even after super bowling Holder was on crease till end but on other side not one giving him any favor which ends in bad lost Mohammad Shami and Bishnoi done good damage which was not recoverable for Punjab Kings even this win is not helpful for any team but still it is good for Punjab Kings.

Glad that i stayed out of placing a bet in both the matches today in the IPL, because i would have predicted the wrong team to win the match. Both the teams won simply because their bowlers were able to restrict the batsman with their variations and it is a really rare occasion where we see bowlers dominating both the matches and the best bowlers will always stand out from the crowd.

What's wrong with SRH? Is this team so bad that they cannot chase a score of 125 runs. Restricting batsmen and bad batting are two different things. SRH showed how pathetic batting looks like yesterday.

They were always heavily dependent on Kane Williamson and David Warner. And now these two are not in good form. And look at the local batsmen on their side. Kedar Jadhav was kicked out of the CSK side after his horrendous performance in 2020. Now he has found a place with SRH. I expected better from Wriddhiman Saha and Manish Pandey, but they have their own limitations. And to add to all this, SRH has a very lengthy tail, starting with Abdul Samad and Jason Holder. The team balance is just not there.

The players on the SRH team are not bad, but being that they are not in form. The team has since relied heavily on Williamson and Werner. So when they lost form, the performance of the rest of the team collapsed. When top-order players do not perform well, it becomes difficult for other players on the team to perform. Top-order players have to be responsible.

This T20 thread is flooded with IPL discussion as that's the most watched T20 games every where. Unfortunately we are unable to watch this tournament in our country and hence can't take active participation in discussions.

When is the end date for this season of IPL ?

KKR has won the previous two matches very well. Their bowlers are in great form. Despite RCB's strong batting lineup, they lost all their wickets for just 92 runs. Chennai is a stable team, this match will be very competitive. If KKR wins the toss and decides to field, I think they will be able to beat Chennai too.

I thought that CSK may get another easy win today, but KKR made the recovery well in the last few overs. Nitish Rana managed the innings well after Rahul Tripathi got out, and he received enough support from Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik. Bowling was always the weak link for CSK and today Sam Curran went for 56 runs from his 4 overs. The pitch looks conductive for batting, but 172 is going to be a tough target for the CSK. But who knows? Their batsmen are in good form, and they probably have the best captain in this edition of the IPL.
