T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

K. L. Rahul is playing too much well. He scored 132 runs (not out). I think he is the 3rd highest scorer in IPL history. He just hitting 7 sixes and 14 fours. Just fantastic! I hope Kings XI will easily wins today's match. In this moment Royal Challengers lost 5 wickets. They scored only 57. I didn't think they would play so badly. I thought they would score at least 160 runs.

Sounds very familiar and this happens to RCB every year. They start with a bang, and then suddenly they start losing by big margins. Losses happen to the other teams as well. But none of them lose as badly as RCB does. Today the Kings XI Punjab defeated them by 97 runs!! Apart from Devdutt Padikkal and Yuzvendra Chahal, all the other players look ordinary. And Dale Steyn was the biggest failure.

RCB need to work on their tactics if they really want to win matches or at least get close to the victory.I am big fan of RCB even though they didn't perform well as a team because they got so much talented individuals but still fails miserably as a whole team.

I'm still getting a feel for the IPL as I'm still learning more about the teams. Right now I'm at 1-3 with live betting on the games so far which puts me at a loss but as this is my first time betting on the IPL I think this is to be expected. Does anyone know of any good tipsters I could follow for now until I get the hang of the IPL?

You should check the odds before betting on any team. Here is the today's odds for the match between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore.



Whom do you think is favorite today ?

I guess RCB is having good chance to win the match because they are looking in good form compared to KXIP from their first match performance. Already they the match started and KXIP is batting at the moment after lost the toss to RCB.

Score 33-0 for 4 overs.

Disappointing performance by Royal Challengers Bangalore today. Their batting totally collapsed today.
They have big names in their team like Virat Kholi, AB de Villiers , Finch but none of them could play a big innings today. On the other hand KL Rahul the captain of Kings XI Punjab played an unbeaten innings of 138 runs and won the match.

Does anyone know where this match and the whole IPL season 2020 can be seen live on Internet (Youtube) as these matches are not been broadcasted in Pakistan sports channels 

Notably, there will be no IPL live telecast in Pakistan. The IPL broadcasters have also got into contracts with the local broadcasters in Afghanistan and Bangladesh for the IPL 2020 live streaming.

Seems Hotstar is the only online platform which streaming IPL 2020 and it isn't available on Pakistan as well but you can download that app using VPN into your device and can buy the subscription with someone's help in your neighbouring country.

It not a practical solution as it is subscription based service and only avaible for the residents of India. Secondly i am not willing to spend the money to watch the IPL live action. I hope someone will come up with a free of cost solution.

Finally i found a free streaming of IPL at facebook. Sports corner are showing all the matches of IPL live on Facebook. The only drawback is that they crop the original telecast from top so that the  official logos are not shown but in this process sometimes the face of the players are also cropped. (as shown in below screenshot). Anyways this is a very good way to enjoy live IPL free of cost in countries where IPL is not allowed to show on televisions.

IPL is only banned in Pakistan, which sounds stupid to me as in the age of internet and live streaming ban never works. On Facebook copyright policy only works when it is reported not like Youtube so you will find live streaming available there until it is reported.

Until then enjoy the free streaming service.

I don't think their service can be put down on reporting. They have smartly managed to capture only the middle of the screen (from the original telecast) and there are no logos or anything which can come under copyright.

Not only the logos and banners the content itself is owned by someone so once someone reported the stream the facebook will remove it.

Code:

Facebook will remove content, but it generally needs to be reported first - and there's little chance of someone interrupting the match to grass up a mate that's streaming it.

But not only the streamers, people who are accessing to those contents illegally without buying subscription also breaking the laws.

access copyrighted material is illegal and that consumers watching content via these devices without a legitimate subscription are also breaking the law

Don't get discouraged after a few setbacks. There were quite a few upsets in the first round. If you feel that you are being unlucky, then may be you can take a break of 2-3 days. But I have always trusted my instinct over the suggestions from the tipsters. If you want, you can listen to them and analyze why they expect a particular team to win. But in the end, you should go with your own instincts.

Thank you for your positive post. The thing is that I'm still learning about the teams and will take a look at tipsters to see how they bet on the IPL and learn from them. I always go with my own instinct when betting so maybe you are right, I'll take a couple of days off from betting and just study the games more.

I was also looking for tips but it is hard to predict T20 matches, the best option is to wage a bet after the first innings is over, these UAE pitches are really huge except for Sharjah and matches in that ground we might see more sixes than the rest two grounds. I was also studying the teams and their composition and yesterday made a bet and ended up loosing .

[bryant.coleman]

Simply this is violation of your country laws and also that kind of pages illegally broadcasting without any rights.
Look at number of active viewers 23.4K this is rediculous amount and I hope some of them reported that page for stealing contents which sold for billions.

I agree. What is the point in going for pirated content, when the licensed content is available for such cheap rates? A Hotstar subscription for 3 months will cost you just ₹399 ($5). And from what I have heard, in India you can get free Hotstar subscription, if you are using SIM cards of some of the service providers. I would have still tolerated piracy, if the licensed content was unaffordable. Here that is not the case.

Today's match, CSK vs DC what is your pick?

CSK won their first match but missed the second one again RR due to early wickets on the other hand DC lost their first match in super over unfortunately.

CSK won their first match but missed the second one again RR due to early wickets on the other hand DC lost their first match in super over unfortunately.

I believe CSK will continue to win to continue the next match because they have Shikhar Dhawan as the main player who can provide a very good winning potential, this player has a strong influence on CSK's victory, at least DC must be able to provide strict masters to Shikhar Dhawan so he can't move and will make CSK lose.

Your comment implying that Sikhar Dhawan representing CSK, which is not the case here. Please take this as a gentle reminder. Dhawan playing for Delhi Capital.

CSK has once again won the toss and they will bowl first. I think they have taken this decision because of the dew factor today which might play a significant role in this match. For me Chennai Super Kings are the favorites to win this match but still it depends on how the Delhi will start their innings.

First of all, Shikhar Dhawan is a player of DC. And obviously he is a great player. He has the ability to hitting a big score.

Still I hope Today's match will won by CSK.  Cause CSK is a stable team. They have some player who are like a T-20 specialist. S. Watson, Faf du Plessis and Dhoni are playing really too much well. Even Jadeja is a very good finisher. If we look at the bowlers, S. Curran is playing well. Overall, I think, CSK will be won today.

[mersal]

DC scored very good total on the first innings, 175-3, Prithvi Shaw played really good today and all other played decent innings.

The pitch look good for batting so I believe CSK could chase down this score without putting mich pressure on them.

[Maheshkumar_Hrangkhawl]

175 should be a comfortable target for CSK to chase. The only game they played for full overs and wicket in this league, they scored a 200, and the Delhi team don't have anything new and unexpected to deliver. Lack of Ashwin would be visible while Chennai have a solid lineup of batsmen even if they lose some wickets. Though Chennai have started slow and Shane Watson already into the pavilion, I'd still be betting on it's win.

The way they are batting is really suspicious. I am not saying that match fixing is going on, but with 13 runs per over needed this is not how CSK need to bat. On top of that, the CSK captain sent Kedar Jadhav to bat. Why not Sam Curran or Ravi Jadeja, or even MSD himself? Kedar is having one of the lowest strike rates in the CSK playing XI. One thing is sure. CSK is going to lose this match.

Probably to bag wickets towards final overs, Kedar Jadhav is better batsman of spin that could be another reason.I see the lack ability to play safe from the top order especially Murali is the reason the pressure climbs too much for the middle order batsmen.

Lost my hope on CSK again because the players are not really playing in the middle.

So you think Chennai lost his match deliberately as Ms Dhoni & co has fixed this match ?  Although people here on this forum will say No, but i would say that things are not so transparent and teams will be involved in match fixing in such a tournament where few loses wont matter much but money gain from these match fixing is enormous.

CSK fail to deliver as per your expectations and lose the match by a big margin. Other than du Plessis , no one was able to play a big innings for CSK and they only manage to score 131.  Also there was no dew today which was an advantage to Delhi bowling second.

Even Faf du plesis got lot of missed catches which made the scoreboard to end up in decent level, We need Ambathi Rayudu to back into the team to give confidence in the top of the batting order and also need replacement in the opening slots for CSK to be honest.

CSK don't have any perfect batsman except for Faf du plessis right now with Rayudu out. Their middle also does seems like a shaky one. Rayudu have injury so maybe there are still some matches to be played without him but right now Watson and Vijay should focus on giving CSK a good start which both are failing to give till now.

It will be ridiculous to even imagine that Dhoni would do something like that. The CSK owners were earlier accused in match-fixing and they received a 2-year suspension for that. But don't blame the players for what the management does. Ideally they could have sent in Sam Curran, who scored quick runs in the previous games. Instead they sent players such as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kedar Jadhav. This blunder cost them 2 points.
