T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Vaskiy]

I never thought CSK's bowlers would perform so well. CSK's bowlers were very inactive against DC in the previous match. Punjab's batting lineup was but much stronger. Chahar's bowling performance really deserves praise. I did not bet on this match. I just wanted to enjoy the match

I guess all IPL venues are rebuilt to support spinners like how Chennai pitch was doing for all last 3 matches. And Yesterday match between DC vs RR on this same venue also a low score thriller hence I am not surprised on seeing blowers dominance on today's  match. But, full credits to Deepak Chahar swing bowling and Jadeja for extraordinary fielding efforts.

Like yesterday match, today also 2nd batting team may successfully chase this low total but only after losing few wickets. I am too keen on watching Dhoni to hit helicopter shot for winning runs; will he do that today? There are only 10% chances for Punjab blowers to restrict CSK from getting 106 runs.

CSK is batting sensibly because there is no scoreboard pressure so bat as long as you can is the only thing should be done by the CSK batsmen. Rituraj was struggling and also lost his wicket while Faf is in good touch and Moeen start with a boundary so I hope CSK won't take this match to last overs.

With this target if Chennai takes the match to the last over, then for sure Chennai won't win in any of the further games. Because when an easy target is considered and unreachable the pressure increases, and the same reflects on the upcoming matches.

Target is just knocking at the door, however CSK team are so good to make things complicated. There so much drama are going on the field, I don't know wrong  with all the batsmen but maybe it's fun giving away 3 wickets when 10 run ahead to the success.

You wont see Chennai taking the match to the last overs but they lost quick wickets all of a sudden when they have a small target to achieve i cannot understand why they want to play these big shots and loose their wickets. I was hearing here that Chennai had a weaker bowling combination but they bowled well in this match and since i did not see the match how come that changed in this match.

An easy victory for Chennai Super Kings. Punjab team couldn't manage to bat well. After some dramatic end in last few IPL match it was a less enjoyable game. But the match between South Africa and Pakistan was really enjoyable. The two no ball in a row from Magala become costly for South Africa. Mohammad Nawaz hited six at the second free hit and took the game on their site.

[UmerIdrees]

Pakistan will be looking to win the final T20 today against south Africa. Babar Azam will be looking to make history today and will certainly not want a series draw if they lose today's match. On the other had, it had been a tough series for the south Africans and they need to improve a lot if they want to compete in the upcoming T20 World cup.

South African batsman was doing great until their 3rd wicket fall. I thought that they will score above 180 runs. But the game changed after 13th over. Pakistani bowler showed impressive balling skill finally. They have managed to take all the wickets and South Africa innings stopped at 144 run. Now Pakistani batsman need to do their job perfectly to win this match and series as well.

South africa lost their way after they lost the third wicket and from that time onwards Pakistan was in full control of the match. I am not impressed by the fact that Pakistani team chased this target in the last over, tried to create another drama 

However, they won both the ODI and T20 Series and this is what matters the most.

After a great inning of 221 runs in the first match, such a batting disaster in the second match is disappointing. There are many good batsmen in the Punjab squad. Despite having so many experienced players, I could not have imagined that they would give a target of only 107 runs. If there is no continuity in the performance, they will not be able to go to the next round.

CSK wanted to win this match as soon as possible that is why the players were going for big shots but they know that match was over by that time so there is no issue. CSK was weaker because Chahar is the man who took wickets on the new ball for CSK but for the last 4 matches he went wicketless but now he back into form and also Dhoni praised the Wankedhe groundsmen for producing extraordinary wickets.

When we talk of the Wankhede stadium, the previous match of Punjab was completely different with today's match. The scoring rate were at the peak for both the teams, and served to be a batting pitch. Today the ground was supportive for bowlers, both the teams have lost wickets and the average score isn't reached.

After some good close matches we saw the first match where one team dominated the other, i did not expect this to happen and i am glad i stayed away from betting as we are seeing some upsets in the past few matches in other sports as well and i busted big time and now wanted to take a break if not i would have busted in Tennis and in cricket as well as i never anticipated this low score match.

I would be surprised if they use the same pitch again as they really does not care about giving the bowlers a fair pitch or a longer boundary and they do not want to risk the viewership, may be the other pitch in the ground is prepared for Mumbai Indians to play their next game as they already have good bowlers and they do not need the pitch assistance to trouble the opposition and so is the reason they used this pitch in this game  .

You are right. They have some of the best T20 batsmen in the form of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. But all of them failed, and if not for the relatively unknown Shahrukh Khan, they would have struggled to cross the 100 mark. The initial burst from Deepak Chahar was devastating. Kings were 26/5 after 6 overs and there was no recovery from there. Especially for KL Rahul, consistency is not his strongest point.

Curators really $ucked up many punters in the last game, they changed the pitch completely at Wankhede.  I was expecting big scoring game and had bet on 190+ score and got rekt.

There is no home advantage for any franchise this year so MI is not going to play any game in Wankhede.

Everyone are expecting the same, atleast the average score could've been reached. What you predicted is the prediction of everyone watching IPL. Even the commentators made the prediction to reach above 180 runs. Why such a change is being done between games, this truly destroys the game.

[LittleBitFunny]

Mumbai Indians will play against SRH today. Although SRH has not won a single match so far, I would say SRH's squad is good enough. I think if SRH batted earlier in today's match, they might be able to win. They lost to RCB by batting for just 150 runs. I think today's match will be very competitive.

After successful completion of the South Africa series, Pakistan team will be headed to Zimbabwe to play 3 t20 and 2 tests matches.

So this is the kind of inside information Heath Streak shared with the bookies  , it is a really fucked up situation as it is difficult to predict the pitch behaving the opposite from the last match and who would have thought a team would score less than 110 runs in an IPL match when Sanju Samson scored 119 in the same ground  .

I did not know that, so it is a fair option for every team, so where is the final played.

Big challenge for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians is the favorite and will probably win the match.

The covid 19 condition in India is worst now at the present. It is not safe for the international and local players to continue the IPL in these circumstances.
Health and life is more important than the money itself. Anyone from India can better comment on the ground realities but covid -19 is at the peak in India right now

Meanwhile, BCCI assure that corona can't enter into the bio bubble.
MI won the toss and choose to bat first and SRH made 4 changes in their playing XI which looks too harsh to be honest. Jason Holder and Natrajan even missing out the game and it looks like they wanted to concentrate on their middle-order batting hope they will win some matches from now.

Ab ish Heath Streak ne kya kar diya.

It looks like they again changed the pitch, now this time Chepuk. Rohit looking in very good mood. I fail to understand why SRH keep new bowler in every game. First Shakib then Holder now Mujeeb. No one looking at Williamson, is he injured or what?

I would like to congratulate the PAK team for playing brilliantly in the SA series. They surely have potential and Babar Azam is the star of the PAK team, very impressive batting. I expected them to win all 4 T20 matches but it is okay they should easily win all the matches in the forthcoming series with Zimbabwe.
