T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Mahdirakib]

Mustafizur was an expensive bowler today. He gave 51 runs from his four overs. I thought he lost his form today. But now it looks like the pitch have nothing for the bowlers. Batman are playing with confidence and hitting lots of boundaries. Chennai bowlers are more expensive now. Hazlewood has given 54 runs by bowling 4 overs. Chennai set a target of 190 runs. But Rajasthan already near to the victory. Only 20 runs need from the last 4 overs.

[UmerIdrees]

Anyone following the National T20 cup. Khyber and Sindth teams are leading the table but central Punjab and Northern Pakistan aren't far away in the points table. There are some very competitive cricket being played and the young talents performance is mind blowing.

Mate, Mustafizur was not in bowling for CSK they have Hazelwood Curran Moeen Jadega and Shardul they all was not good today as Rajasthan's opening pair done some serious damage in very early overs and their middle order was also on good as Dube and Samson both take their team in good position which is going to help them for better end of this season in next match now they are going against Mumbai Indians and winner of this match has some better chance for qualifying, but KKR is also in hunt very interesting situation for these 4 teams in next few matches.

I remember last year's IPL was also having similar kind of situation by the ending time of league matches and we had very much exciting matches in the last days of league stage of IPL; if this year also replica of last year then I guess I may stay away from betting as last few matches are not safer to bet with, as per my experiences.

Rajasthan Royals totally surprised me today with their batting display. When Chennai Super Kings set a target of 190 runs to win, i thought Chennai would win the match and Ruturaj Gaikwad once again performed for Chennai and if not for his performance they would not set a score like that and despite that huge total Rajasthan Royals were able to win and kept their qualifications dreams alive.

It doesn't looked a surprise for me, because during the toss itself both the team captains had the clear picture of batting second. RR won the toss and choose to bowl, and Dhoni mentioned we were thinking of the same. Here the catch of Jaiswal dropped by Raydu is the match turning. If there happened a break at the very beginning the match would've gone little more fighting.

This was totally unexpected from RR. I was confident that this would be a one sided match after CSK scored 189. RR were able to reach that score with 15 balls left. Jaiswal scored 50 runs in just 21 balls, great batting.

The two CSK opening bowlers failed miserably (Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood). They conceded a combined 109 runs in their 8 overs. Shardul Thakur bowled well, but he didn't received any support from the other bowlers. The absence of Deepak Chahar (rested?) made the difference in yesterday's match. He was the most reliable bowler for CSK and they depended on him to take early wickets. Also, yesterday it was surprising to see Samson scoring runs (relatively) slowly, while Shivam Dube blasting the bowlers from the other end.

[LittleBitFunny]

When all the batsmen of the opponent take a devastating form, it is difficult for any experienced bowler to stop them. I don't want to blame Chennai's bowlers. However, after Chennai scored 189 runs, their players thought they would easily win the match. This was their biggest mistake. They were over-confident. This is what we saw in one more match. This is what we saw in one more match. Despite giving a huge target of 219 runs against Mumbai, Chennai was defeated. My guess is that this is mainly due to overconfidence.

The win against Chennai Super Kings is huge for Rajasthan Royals as they need a win to stay alive in this competition and they won with 15 balls to spare which i did not expect. Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians are having the same points and they are competing to get qualified. The run rate will be a factor during the later stages and this win with balls to spare will help them.

What an insane win from RR. Winning with having 15 balls in hand is very special. Also a very good knock from Jaiswal. He Scoring 50 from only 21 balls. Shivam Dube also played a good knock earlier in the innings and scored 64 off of 42 balls. The later part of the group stage would be very interesting, who would qualify? Very excited about the following matches.

Jaiswal just blew away the bowlers. After 7 overs, RR were like 100 and the required run rate had dropped to 6 runs per over by then. The initial powerplay decided the course of the match. For CSK, their opening bowlers conceded too many runs. By the time they brought in Shardul Thakur and got the first wicket, the match was almost over. They could have given a spell to KM Asif in the initial powerplay, rather than persisting with Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood. Have to say that Dhoni showed poor captaincy.

RCB start was very good through Kohli and Padikkal they give some good punishment to Punjab King bowlers but kohli's wicket give some good opportunity to Punjab King bowlers for fighting back, and they have done very good job even in middle Maxwell and AB De Villiers also have some good hitting but Mohammad Shami keep his cool after some punishment and bring back his team in last few overs.

I was expecting target like 190 to 195, but they have done good and restricted them to RCB for 164 for 7 now they have some good opportunity to done job like Rajasthan Royals and bring their team in limelight for next round.

Rahul and Agarwal have their best lesson from yesterday match and now following Rajasthan Royals technic punishing badly to RCB all bowlers look like they will be going to end this match very early and going to enjoy their Super Sunday.

Match was going completely in favour of PBK but suddenly wicket of Rahul change things for RCB as now Run Rate is going down Chahal takes another very important wicket of Pooran, so now things can change very quickly in last 3 overs we have no boundary which is creating more pressure on Agarwal and Markram. From here Agarwal need to take charge and take charge from here because he is already inform and set batsman which can help his team to win if they are unable to handle from here surely this can go to hurt them require rate is already touching 10 per over and this will increase very quickly in next few balls now.
Now requirement is 62 from 6 overs with 8 wickets in hand still achievable for PBK.

[bryant.coleman]

Looks like Punjab Kings are having upper hand here. Garton had bowled an excellent over (14th) in which he conceded just three runs. And then over-rated Mohammed Siraj released the pressure the very next over by conceding a couple of boundaries. As long as Mayank is there, I don't foresee any real chance for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kings have 8 wickets to spare, and they only need another 52 runs in 5 overs. Sarfaraz Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Moises Henriques are yet to bat and they are all known for big hits.

Edit: Mayank gone.

[JSRAW]

Eventually, the PBKS team was able to win against KKR. KKR lost this match due to their bowling in today's match. I don't understand why Shakib Al Hasan is not being given a place in the squad even after being in the team. Narine is not performing as expected. Southee bowled very poorly today. Management should give Shakib a chance.

Only 4 overseas players can be included. One of their best bowlers can't be included (Lockie Ferguson), because spots were taken by Tim Southee and Sunil Narine. Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell make up for the remaining spots (they included Tim Seifert in the place of Russell yesterday). If Shakib has to be included, then the captain himself needs to drop out. Otherwise the bowlers are in very good form (Narine, Ferguson, Southee). Also, there is no room for an allrounder, as Venkatesh Iyer is doing an amazing job right now.

They should have added Shakib for the last game. Seifert is opening batsman and he came at no 7. Local openers doing good job for the KKR so Seifert inclusion in the squad made no sense to me. Also Shakib could have bowled as front line bowler so that they don't need to use part timers during critical period but it seems Morgan losing his mojo with his form along with the coaching staff.

Morgan is not doing well. Seifert's performance is not good. The team is not getting the expected performance from Sunil Narine. In this situation, they should be given a chance to be the best player in the world like Shakib. If Shakib had been in the squad in the previous match, I think Kolkata could have won. Kolkata lost only because of poor bowling.

Oh well, it was Seifert's first IPL game so he was debutant in the last game he played. My point was he's opener not lower order batsman so Morgan and KKR's think tank wasted him in the last game, they can't fit him at the top order because Local talent is doing exceptionable job. Clearly a lack of planning and tactic keeping Shakib out from the bench.

LOL.. all of a sudden the RCB vs Punjab Kings match has become interesting. Kings were cruising nicely, but then Chahal and Garton picked up crucial wickets to put them on backfoot. Shahrukh Khan hit a massive hit off the bowling of Harshal Patel just now, but Kings still need 27 runs from two overs. Not impossible, but right now RCB is having the advantage. Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel need to bowl the 19th and 20th overs respectively. If they don't make too many mistakes, then RCB will end up with two more points, which will take their tally to 16. And this would mean that they qualify for the playoffs.

[UmerIdrees]

Anyone following the National T20 cup. Khyber and Sindth teams are leading the table but central Punjab and Northern Pakistan aren't far away in the points table. There are some very competitive cricket being played and the young talents performance is mind blowing.

The match between Northern Pakistan and Khyber P is under progress and it look like Northern Pakistan may win this one.
Khyber need 34 runs in 17 balls. I think Northern Pakistan should be able to defend the total of 181 runs. Shadab Khan captain of  Northern Pakistan played well to score 46 runs along with Mohammad Nawaz who scored 51 runs.

Suddenly change of situation is fascinating I was sure they are going to win this match very easily and will enjoy their better NRR but now few quick wickets, and they are out of match even Shahrukh is on crease, but they are going to lose match because last over, and they need 20 runs which is not achievable for them in current situation after having very start from Rahul and Agarwal. This lost is going to give them big setback as they will be out of race and moral is also going down as they are on top, but suddenly they lost.

Edit: first ball of 20th over and Shahrukh gone, mean match is also gone from their hands.

It should have been an easy win for the Punjab Kings. But they literally threw away the match. They were 91/0 after 11 overs and ended up at 158/6. Royal Challengers Bangalore won the match by 6 runs. This is the 4th consecutive failure for Nicholas Pooran, and I guess they should consider Deepak Hooda in his place. And with the extra overseas slot, they can play either Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis or Riley Meredith. 

BTW, JSRAW will be happy. The Kolkata Knight Riders have included Shakib Al Hasan in their squad (replaces Tim Seifert). BTW, Umran Malik from Jammu and Kashmir is making his debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
