T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[CryptoBuds]

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.

Although 182 is a good enough target. But Chennai's batsmen are in good form. Especially Du Plessis and Gaikwat. If KKR bowlers are not able to pick up this wicket fast, Chennai will win today too. It is difficult to stop these two players if they are in form. However, there are many experienced bowlers in the Kolkata squad. Let's see which team wins.

Chennai's collection of 52 runs in 6 overs, without losing a wicket. Gaikwad scored 23 off 18 balls and Du Plessis scored 29 off 18 balls.

182 would have been a good target. But KKR made only 171, so the target is 172.  

And right now the CSK openers (Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis) are smashing KKR bowlers all around the park. The poor form of Sunil Narine (with both the bat and ball) is a big handicap for the KKR. Even today, he's proving to be expensive and so far he has conceded 25 runs from his 2 overs. Other bowlers have been tidy, but Narine has handed over the advantage back to CSK. KKR needs a wicket soon, as the match is rapidly drifting out of their control. Won't be a bad idea for Andre Russell to have a couple of overs. He is a partnership breaker.

At one point i never thought they will reach 150 runs when Andre Russell was back in the pavilion in the 17th over and the score was 125 runs and to reach 171 runs from that score, full credits goes to Dinesh Karthik and Nitish Rana.

Chennai Super Kings started really good but the middle order is the issue, if they can score some quick runs then they can continue their winning tradition and i expect CSK to win the match, but you never know what will happen in the final few overs, if KKR can pick wickets then the pressure will be back on CSK, if not they will win the match.

[bryant.coleman]

Don't think that there is still a chance for KKR. It should be easy for CSK from here on. They just need another 66 runs in 8 overs, with 8 wickets in hand. Well.. that is unless the CSK fold up like the Punjab Kings during their match against the RR. But the difference here is that the CSK middle order is very experienced, unlike the case with Punjab Kings. Unless either Russell or Lockie Ferguson come up with some magic, I don't think that there is any chance for a different outcome to this mach. BTW, KKR should drop Narine after this match.

Drama at the last ball again! But, what a match!

There'll always be drama in the IPL. CSK win in the last ball with a match-winning performance from Jadeja. He hits 22 off just only 8 deliveries. He deserves all the credit. Whether it's batting, bowling, or fielding, he can do it all. One of the most valuable all-rounders in world cricket at the moment is Ravindra Jadeja. Do you agree?

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.

The lack of local talent is their problem when selecting their team, they have great players in the side but they have the restrictions to pick only 4 International players and they are playing for a long time and they have no idea they could scout local talents to complete the team and that is their biggest problem from what i understand.
CSK won the match in the last ball and i watched the highlights and it was a good one and they are at the top of the points table and i am surprised to see that MI are struggling to win matches or even pose a challenge against RCB.

Today's match was just a disaster for Mumbai Indians. No one really expected RCB to win by such a big margin (54 runs). Mumbai Indians have some of the best T20 players in their squad - Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard.etc. If you take the list of top-10 players in T20 cricket, all of these players will get included in that list. But they have performed horribly so far in this season (apart from Bumrah). Boult and Milne have been inconsistent, while Rohit and de Kock are getting no support from SKY and Ishan Kishan.

The second last over was the turning point of the match when Prasidh Krishna bowled and Ravindra Jadeja went after him scoring 22 runs and in the last over CSK needed just 4 runs and Narine bowled well and i thought we will see a repeat of the RR match as the first ball was a wicket and then picking the wicket of Jadeja and i thought it will end up in a super over but Chahar was someone connect the ball for a single.

Looks like RCB might change their fortunes since they included Glenn Maxwell as he is playing with freedom and the innovative shots he comes up with is ridiculous, reverse sweeping fast bowlers for sixes and it is hard to set fielders for shots like that and he bowled one of the best spells i have seen in his T20 career.

Virat Kohli is performing but he is not an impact player as he is not scoring at a huge strike rate and he is consistent, the impact players in the team are Glenn Maxwell and definitely he is an advantage as he could change the match in a short period and ABD is yet to regain his form he though he played some great looking shot in his small cameo.

Look like the UAE is not going good for them as here in last three matches they lost badly and now at bottom with SRH which is not good as already you mention they have some world-class players under their belt, but they all completely fail here which is big mystery.

After start of this new session CSK and Delhi Capitals both are enjoying with all wins but Mumbai Indians and SRH in complete dumb situation Punjab have first win under their belt after 2 loses, but Mumbai still need some magic.

Mumbai is in pathetic form for this season. SRH was never in the race, as their overseas players (Rashid, Williamson, Warner and Holder) are not in good form. They have a second string Indian lineup, so they were always heavily dependent on the overseas players. Right now, it looks as if Chennai Super Kings has the maximum chances to win the trophy, followed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. With limited number of matches remaining in this edition, I don't expect a major change for the other franchises.

Both Chennai and Delhi are in great form now. Looking at the performances of all the teams so far, it seems that one of these two teams will win the trophy. But in IPL we see a lot of miracles. I will not be surprised if I see Kolkata win the title till the end. Because IPL matches are very unpredictable.

I would place Delhi Capitals ahead of CSK. At the third position I would put RCB and KKR at the 4th position. Other four franchises don't have a real chance. Delhi looks like the most balanced team right now. They have the best bowling and batting lineup and the optimal mix of Indian and overseas players. CSK is also looking good, but they are heavily dependent on the top order for batting. Their middle order is not that strong (apart from Jadeja). Dhoni is playing well, at least when compared to the 2020 season, but he is still far below his peak form.

I think Delhi is the most balanced team. Both their batter and bowler are in good form. And they dominate in almost every match. They have won two remarkable matches against RR and SRH in the previous two matches. Winning against a team without collapsing their batting lineup is a challenge for any team. On the other hand, KKR's performance seems to me the most unpredictable. If they play well in one match, they will perform poorly in the next match. There is no continuity.

Today we have Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals. Will be interesting to see whether SRH will be able to put up a fight. And RR will be charged up, after their magnificent last-ball victory against Punjab Kings (thanks to Kartik Tyagi). SRH just have 2 point so far, and they are in for their worst season. RR is not in a much better position, as they are placed at 6th position with 8 points. They need to win at least 4 of their remaining 5 matches to qualify for the playoff stage. Right now, four teams have 8 points each - RR, KKR, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians.

After winning the toss and electing to bat it is good score from them but in last few overs SRH done very good job and contain them which was good because as they were playing I was feeling they can touch around 185 to 190 but B Kumar and Kaul both was really on good spirit even their performance is not good in this season 164/5 is still good score, and I am feeling SRH will face some serious trouble because their batting line-up is not doing good.

Right now, SRH is approaching 50 runs without a wicket which means they might have found a solution for their opening pairs by resting Warner and giving a chance to Jason Roy.

Today we have flawless batting from SRH batting line-up Roy Saha and Williamson all done their job for win cause even it is not going to help them but still its very good fight back, and they are doing good job for stopping Rajasthan Royals for play-offs race as today's lost is really going to hurt them now they need some very good form in next few matches as still 3 more teams are fighting hard for play-offs race just 2 teams are ready for top spots but other 5 have equal chance for touch remaining spots hopefully we will have some very entertaining end of this season with some good and exciting matches.

Batting Department Sunrise Hyderabad Rajasthan Royals Both the teams are quite good. In this case, some players of Sunrise Hyderabad have done a great job in this match. Jason Roy Its great innings of 60 runs has played an important role in changing the fate of the match.

Both teams have some class players those have ability to change match situation very quickly specially SRH is really better team, but sadly they fail to give any impression after restart of this IPL UAE conditions may be taken time as in first three matches they were completely outclass and now when they already out of play-offs they're done very good job Rajasthan Royals have some chances but now its very crucial time for all teams they need to lead from front if they want place in next round.

A good match where RR scored 164 and SRH were able to get that score in just 18.3 overs. Jason Roy from SRH scored 60 runs and was awarded player of the match. From RR Sanju Samson was the highest scorer. Overall it was the batsmen who won the match for SRH.
