T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[laurenB7742]

I too feel the same. Seriously did not expect RR to blast out yesterday. It was awesome seeing them chasing CSK to 189. Jaiswal was at fire yesterday. Being a CSK fan, though it was bit sad to watch, I became a fan of RR as well now. Full of young boys in RR. An another cool captain Sanju Samson leading the team with high spirit along with skillful players. Fielding was awesome as well. I now wonder, how come they are at the bottom in the table. However happy to see them back in the middle order in the table after beating CSK. Eagerly awaiting for their next game.

After losing 3 matches in a row, Rajasthan Royals defeated CSK team. It is not easy to win by batting for 190 runs. Moreover, CSK's bowling lineup is strong. I would say that Rajasthan won the match because of the remarkable opening partnership between Jaiswal and Lewis. The two openers Evin Lewis and Jaiswal had strike rates of 225 and 236 respectively. Since then Samson and Dube have maintained continuity. After that Rajasthan managed to score 190 runs in just 17.3 overs.

After the initial partnership by Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the match was over for CSK. Today they have a very important match against one of the strongest teams in this year's IPL - Delhi Capitals. CSK's weakness in bowling was exposed during their match against Rajasthan. For today's match however, Dwayne Bravo and Deepak Chahar are back and that should strengthen them. One out of Curran/Hazlewood need to be dropped and I would favor including Hazlewood in the playing XI. Despite his poor form in the last match, he is one of the more reliable and disciplined bowlers.

The two strongest teams of the season, Chennai and Delhi, will play today. It is very risky to bet on this match. Yet I like Dhoni so I bet on his team. Delhi capita won the toss and decided to bowl. Exactly how many runs will be enough to win this match cannot be said. Because both teams have talented bowlers and batter.

Rishab Pant's decision to bowl was justified. CSK scored 41 runs in 5 overs. But they lost two important wickets. Gaikwad was dismissed for 13 off 13 balls and Du Plessis was combined for 10 off 8 balls. If the Delhi bowlers can hold Chennai to 160-165, then maybe Delhi will win today.

[Maidak]

Chennai managed to give a target of only 137 runs. Is that enough to win against a team like DC? That's not enough. Batting for 167 against Punjab, they won in just 17.4 overs. They scored 156 runs in just 16.3 overs against Kolkata. The 137-run target may not be a problem for them.

Both Chennai and Delhi have already qualified for the next round. The match here serves only as a warmup. To bet on any team is very risky, but today I am supporting CSK as it will also help RCB. The Chennai Super Kings are 136/5 after 20 overs. That's a competitive score. Now it's up to DC batters to reach the target.

Its not a warm up game, that's a beauty of the IPL. Just look at the final fixtures chart.

Top 2 teams gets second chance if they somehow manage to lose the 1st qualifier encounter. 3rd and 4th team doesn't get this oppourtunity as they play eliminator. RCB got 16 points and atm fight is to stay on Top 2 due to obvious advantage, so hardly a dead rubber.

The Chennai Super Kings openers failed in this match and they failed to put a good total on the board. I am really surprised to see how MS Dhoni was struggling to score runs nor was able to rotate the strike and he wasted a lot of balls. Not sure what he was thinking as he scored 18 runs of 27 balls and there is no way they are going to win today. Since they are already qualified there is nothing much to worry.

From now for me Mumbai and Punjab kings already out of next round race now just these two have good and fair chance KKR is not good as Rajasthan Royals but after Shakib Al Hasan they are doing some better but still Rajasthan Royals are most favorite but mostly in cricket we have to wait till last ball because no one can predict 100% about result any ball can change all matches situation and its happen many times in recent IPL matches.

Mumbai Indians does not have a chance to qualify this season and with the win today Kolkata Knight Riders is about to cement the final spot and they need to win the rest of the matches. CSK, Delhi and RCB are safe and the battle is for the final spot.

Tomorrow we have match for top rank both teams form is good and this could be anybody game; right now for grand finale I am feeling these two could be very strong and then still anybody game for championship.

Tomorrow Delhi Chargers and CSK are playing and both are strong teams and Delhi have a much better bowling side and hence i am going with them to win the match.

After watching first session now I am feeling your decision was very good because today first good thing happen Delhi Capitals won toss, and they give first batting to CSK their openers fail and other batsmen also fail to give any good performance just Rayudu was good, and he has done some reasonable job for his team.

From Delhi Capitals bowling Axar Ashwin and Rabada all done good job and never allow CSK batsmen to play freely now target of 137 for win and take top spot in this phase of this season is achievable very easily, but we can't predict about anything in cricket until we have last balled or last wicket because cricket is very funny game in this regard.

24/1 in 3 overs very good start from Delhi Capitals.

Although directly this match seems unimportant. But indirectly the match is important for both teams. Both teams will want to be in the first and second position of the points table. Then they will get an extra chance in the next round. No team would want to miss this opportunity. No wonder if the team that lose today's match moved to third place in the points table. Because RCB is a good enough team. They will probably be able to win their next two matches.

[Vishnu.Reang]

It is going to be a very easy win for the Delhi Capitals. CSK could make only 136 in their 20 overs. At one point CSK were 62/4. None of the top 4 batsmen could make a total in excess of 20. And then there was a partnership between Ambati Rayudu and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but the latter wasted too many balls. Ravindra Jadeja got just one over to bat. If he and Dwayne Bravo were sent earlier, then CSK would have made 150 at least. They just can't win the match with a total less than 150. And that too against a team like DC which is having a very solid middle order.

I thought it is going to be an easy chase for Delhi Capitals but they are loosing wickets and they need 34 runs in 24 balls and they already lost 6 wickets and Shimron Hetmyer is the only player who could strike the ball and if he somehow looses his wicket then they will struggle to reach the target.

Looks like the pitch is really difficult to bat as everyone is struggling in this wicket.

Ladies and gentleman, let me tell you truth and expose our comrade, he's mischievous and big liar lol

He gives different analysis and bet differently. He's stealing points from us in our little IPL pool and want to rip all you punters with his bets. I'm sure he must be enjoying this moment. He said easy win lol, FFS 15 overs and delhi is at 99 off 6 and chasing only 136 runs. They might end up winning this match in the end, fingers crossed lol.

But point is do exactly opposite if he's say "A" lol .

It is not clear where the result of the match is going now. It is a low-run target, yet the batting of the Delhi batsmen has suffered a setback. They lost 6 wickets for just 99 runs. Delhi now needs 28 runs off 18 balls to win. There is now Hetmyre. He is the only hope. If he is out then Chennai will win this match. Let's see what will be happening.

[Vishnu.Reang]

One of the tightest matches so far. CSK three wickets away from win and DC need two runs with three balls to spare.

Edit: DC won by three wickets, with two balls to spare. Kagiso Rabada hit a boundary of the 4th ball of the 20th over to give DC a win over CSK. I can't really believe my luck. For the betting pool, I went for DC, but selected "narrow win". And got two points -  first one for DC win and the second as margin point. But in the end, it proved to be a very close match. Dhoni will be ruing his innings, in which he wasted a large number of balls.

Though CSK lost their openers very fast followed by two more wickets, Raydu stood firm and his fifty was the kep support to push to 130 pllus. Then when DC started their batting, the openers put more pressure to the fast bowlers in the beginning overs and yes CSK bowlers were clover enough to take wickets and yes the fielding was really good from CSK. The winning match turned opposite towards DC. Yes, needed 2 from 4 balls and Bravo really disappointed CSK fans in his last over.

Back to back defeats surely big disappointment for CSK and their fans because they were playing the best cricket in last few matches, but suddenly Rajasthan Royals change their momentum of wins and bring them down to earth after this lost now against Delhi Capital's give more dent in this. Rayudu was only batsman who give some resistance, all others was very poor and not able to handle quality bowling from Delhi Capitals.

Now they have last match against Punjab Kings, and they need to win this if they want to stay at second spot because lose can bring them down to third RCB is also doing good for best end of this phase, and they have some better chances.

I was not expecting this defeat by CSK. Second defeat might demoralize the team. Yesterday's match was the worst since CSK was only able to score 136 runs. With such a small total in the T20 format, you cannot expect your bowlers to stop other teams batsmen. Except for Rayudu everyone else was a failure.

The margin was really small, since the Delhi Capitals lost 7 wickets while chasing and they had only two balls remaining. If the CSK had another 5-10 runs to their total, then who knows? The outcome could have been a different one. Apart from Shikhar Dhawan and Shimron Hetmyer, none of the DC batsmen made more than 20 runs. And in case of Shimron Hetmyer, he was dropped near the boundary when he was at 12 (and that was a rather easy chance). In the end, Delhi Capitals proved to be the better finishers.

The Delhi players did not try to hit too many boundaries from the start of the match as the target was low. If the target was big, their style of play would have been different. Even with such a low run target for Dhoni's experienced captaincy, it was very difficult for Delhi to win the match. If Hetmyre's catch was not missed then maybe Chennai was able to win the match. Because, Axar Patel can't bat well. He has collected only 5 runs from 10 balls.
