T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Iranus]

Today there is a match between two of the most inconsistent teams (Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings). Sanju Samson has been getting the runs for RR, but compared to other players of similar calibre, he has a lower probability of converting his individual scores to a win by his franchise. Chennai Super Kings will be fielding Lungi Ngidi today, as he has completed his quarantine. This will make their bowling lineup more lethal. Also, it looks as if Ruturaj Gaikwad will be replaced by Robin Uthappa.

Chennai managed a big collection of 188 runs. If RR's top order batsmen can't perform well, it will be very difficult to win this match. Batting for 189 runs is not very difficult to win. RR's squad has many skilled batsmen.

Rajasthan Royals lost 3 wickets in 11 overs. Samson played great in the first match but he did not bat well in the previous match and today's match. Miller and Dube are at the crease right now. RR needs 100 runs from 50 balls. If Miller bats well, maybe RR will win today.

Now at the end of 13 overs Rajasthan Royals have lost five wickets. The over from Jadeja is the turning point taking the wicket of Butler and Dubey. Following this Moen Ali have taken the wicket of David Miller increasing the winning chance of Chennai Super Kings. Rajasthan Royals at the moment stands at 92/5 after 13 overs.

Rajasthan top order have played well compared to the down order players. Butler managed to score 49runs, Vohra made 14 runs, Dube made 17 runs. Until the fall of third wicket the run rate was well managed. Only thing the expected player Sanju Samson didn't performed in this match. Now after losing 7 wickets Rajasthan Royals are struggling to cross 100 runs.

Jos Buttler scored 49 runs but the next six batsman scored a mere 37 runs and most of them got out with single digits and if you look at the team on papers they have some of the best players and i do not remember a good innings from David Miller in the IPL and Ben Stokes is in the team as well if i am not mistaken and yet to fail time and again is pathetic.

Chennai on the other hand got Moeen Ali and he will be a game changer this season as he never used to get a place in his past teams in the IPL but for Chennai he is getting the opportunity and he is performing with the ball and bat.

Moeen Ali  is a T20 specialist and t was not fair as he was not in the team because of the restrictions of 4 foreign players and hence he was looked upon and this year he was lucky that he was picked by Chennai who was looking for a change in fortunes by foreign players and that his pick will become a welcome change for the team and they still need to find someone to replace Ambati Rayudu as well  .

Yes mate you are right the RR has got good start from the openers at the point I thought RR going to reach target easily but after Jo's buttler wicket, RR didn't got any good partnership so they loss the wickets continue hi hope RR can be bounces back next game.

The bowlers for Chennai Super Kings are getting better with every match, even in the last match they bowled well against Punjab Kings where Deepak Chahar picked up 4 wickets and in this match the bowlers yet again showed their accuracy especially by Moeen Ali who picked up 3 quick wickets and even though Chennai had a disastrous IPL last season but they are determined to show their strength this time.

Moeen is lucky that he got a guaranteed slot within the playing XI for CSK, unlike what happened with him during last season. As of now, these three foreign players seems to have permanent slots - du Plessis, Curran and Moeen. The fourth slot is open, and if Dwayne Bravo is not performing well then it may go to Lungi Ngidi or Imran Tahir (with    Mitchell Santner and Jason Behrendorff also in contention). The problem for CSK is not with the overseas players, but with the local ones. What should they do with those who are not performing?

Moen Ali is a great asset to CSK, not only he is good with balling but he can bat too. Yesterday's match was a complete failure for RR batsmen. They were struggling even to score single runs. The only player who performed for RR yesterday was Rahul Tewatia. CSK has regained their lost confidence and hopefully, they will continue to perform better in the upcoming matches.

Yes.. last year CSK had a horrible tournament and they seems to have learnt their lessons. Yesterday, the top score for CSK was 33 from Faf du Plessis, but still they managed to win the match. On the other hand, during the match against the Punjab Kings, Sanju Samson made 119 and still Rajasthan Royals lost the game. This means that CSK is playing as a team, while the Rajasthan Royals is getting overdependent on one or two players.

That's a problem in team like RR and from what i've observed KKR also showing similar symptoms. They have gun batsmen and bowlers in squad but they don't play like a team anymore. Every now n then they win game because of individual performance only.

Imran Tahir deserves a spot in the squad because of his bowling and they can shuffle according to the ground conditions, the local players needs to be replaced by young talents.

Mumbai Indians are once again struggling with the bat and they struggled to reach 137 runs and Delhi can win the match but Mumbai have the best bowlers and if they are not careful with the chase the bowlers will always snatch the win away from Delhi.

I would rate Tahir as one of the best spinners available in the IPL. But unfortunately for him, he is in the wrong team. CSK will be unable to accomodate Tahir, unless one of their regular overseas players get injured. Right now all four of them (Curran, du Plessis, Bravo and Moeen Ali) are very integral members of the squad and the management can't think about dropping any one of them. Mitchell Santner is also there in the CSK squad and he is a very good all rounder. But right now he has zero chance of getting selected.

Maybe we can see Imran Tahir if this tournament happening in Chennai like pitches but this is happening in Mumbai and also Chennai's current all rounder spin duo performing very well so the chances are less though.

MI struggling again, first with the bat now also with the ball. DC is in no hurry because they just need over 6 run an over with 9 wickets in hand they can simply rotate strike till the death overs and from there they can win this match.

[iram3130]

Looks like DC is going to win this match against Mumbai Indians, Dhawan and Smith partnering well and taking runs consistently.. It looks like Mumbai is not in the rhythm this time to win matches or may be the team is not able to cope with the bubble etc.
My bet was on DC since the beginning and I'm going to win it.

@iram3130 indeed DC are winning it, because MI failed to click today and I’m not sure what went wrong but MI were a disaster when they came to bat and now there’s not much their bowlers can do. Also currently DC only need 23 runs in 21 balls and have 7 wickets in hand, hence I’m also confident of DC winning this game.

It is hard to bet against Mumbai Indians and things are not easy as they are bowling really well and their best bowlers are bowling in this stage of the innings and couple of wickets will open up the match. The only positive is that this is the lowest score Mumbai is defending and if they defend this one then no one will bet against them even with a low total  .

The Mumbai batsman are struggling but their bowlers are in great form as they already won matches for them even with low scores.

The match is close as Delhi still need 15 runs from 12 balls and the pitch is not that easy to bat and the Mumbai bowlers are bowling well and the only issue they have is that they failed to pick wickets from the start. Bumrah is bowling the second last over and if he is going to bowl a tight over and pick  wickets then it is going to be a difficult task and the pressure will be back to Delhi.

DC won the match by 6 wickets and move to the second position in the points table, Good team effort and they didn't take too much risks when the required rate is still under control which learned from the mistakes of other teams playing against MI in the previous matches. Dhawan again played the leading role while Lalit Yadav scored according to the run rate and finally hetmeyr relieved the pressure with two boundaries.
