T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[onecall123]

The only match today is between RCB vs SRH. Since RCB is the third team in the points table, and even if they win or lose this match, their position will not change. So this match is unimportant to them. SRH, on the other hand, has won just two of 12 matches. Even if they win, they will remain in the last position on the points table. I think it's like a warm-up match for RCB.

The match is important for RCB, because they have a chance to move up to the second spot if they win the match by a big margin (however, CSK need to lose their last group match in order for that to happen). Anyway for SRH, the tournament is almost over. After today's match, they have one more group match and that is the end of this season for them. Feels bad, because they had some of the best T20 players (Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan, David Warner.etc). Despite such players, they managed to loss 10 out of their 12 matches so far.

I'm sorry. I thought it was RCB's 13th match. However, Bangalore still has ample opportunity to move up to second place in the points table. For this, they must win today's and last match. In today's match, Hyderabad managed to give a target of 142 runs by batting first. Hyderabad's bowling lineup is not bad. Winning the match will not be easy for Bangalore. I want to see a good knock from Kohli today.

Kohli fails! A Bhuvneshwar Kumar strike in his first over ends Virat Kohli's innings. I believe that there is a very slim chance that they can finish second if they win both matches by a large margin. RCB is sure to go bang bang as it is the chasing pitch. It will be interesting to see if the SRH bowlers can make an impact.

Now it seems a very hard game for RCB. Lost valuable 3 wickets only for 38 runs. End of 7 overs they are able to collect only 38. Now Padikkal and Maxwell are at the crease. Bangalore still has a chance to win. Maxwell, Padikkal, and De Villiers. All three have the ability to win the match. I still think Bangalore will win the match unless they lose another wicket before 12 overs.

Your guess is probably going to be right. RCB did not lose any wickets before 12 overs. Maxwell is batting well. He collected 36 runs from 21 balls. He hit two fours and two over the boundary. Bangalore needs 56 off 42 balls to win. Is it too much? Since there are still players like De Villiers and Maxwell, I think this match is now completely under the control of RCB.

I am not sure SRH is going to give this very easily even right now they are out of League but still fighting hard for their honour win because they already face some serious humiliation in this year's event 14.1 over 92 for 4 Maxwell out direct throw from Williamson and now AB is on crease lets watch what happen in next 35 balls a very interesting and entertaining fight between bat and ball is going on in Abu Dhabi.
If SRH able to have 2 more quick wickets than surely they are fighting back in this match, Padikall is also doing very good right now 35 from 45 balls against quality bowling of Rashid Khan and Bhuve Kumar is not easy for anyone.

RCB need 44 runs in 30 balls.

[BALIK]

Devdutt Padikkal was dismissed for 41 off 52 balls. The striker rate is only 78.84. When batting with such a low strike rate, it often becomes difficult to reach the goal. Moreover, Maxwell was run out today due to Padikkal's mistake. If RCB can't win the match today, I would say it was only because of Padikkal's mistake. But as long as AB de Villiers is at the crease, RCB will be hoping to win the match. RCB need 24 runs from 15 balls.

Required run wasn't much but Bangalore lost the match by 4 runs. It was an exciting game at the end point. Devdutt Padikkal played slowly today. He consumed lots of ball and scored less. Where Maxwell really played well and he kept the game alive for RCB. 6 run was needed in the last ball, De Villiers tried but he managed a single from the last ball.

Yeah it must be Padikkal's mistake but what a win for SRH even target was not good but some good and quality bowling from few SRH bowlers like Holder and Bhuvi Kumar at the end done some magic and clinch this win from jaws of RCB and AB Devillier at the end 12 balls and 18 I was sure it's going to be easy win for them but these both bowlers keep their patience and done good bowling from this win we can say SRH just unlucky due to change of place and fail to have some good result.

Now SRH management have some good time for thinking about this all and having some good decisions because they still can achieve some good results from this squad but in this season due to Covid and change of place is really hurt their teams' performance.

Now SRH management have some good time for thinking about this all and having some good decisions because they still can achieve some good results from this squad but in this season due to Covid and change of place is really hurt their teams' performance.

They were hit by injuries (Natarajan) and pullouts (Jonny Bairstow), so it definitely had an impact on them. But even in 2020, a lot of people pointed out on their overdependence on foreign players. This time some of these foreign players were out of form, and that completely destroyed their prospects. First of all, they need to find quality Indian talent. Inclusion of some of the members in the current squad baffles me - Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma, Vijay Shankar, Jagadeesha Suchith, Sandeep Sharma.etc. Their stats indicate that they are not up to the IPL level. Hopefully the management can get replacement for these players by next year.

First 2 scenario are out of the equation because MI won convincingly last night, when no one was expecting them to win due to their poor form, at least majority of fans.
I really hope that 3rd scenario plays out, it would be more entertaining if it comes down to run rate.

I did not expect Mumbai Indians to have their best match of the season during a crucial situation and when if it comes down to run rate, there is no way Mumbai Indians gets qualified because they have one of the worst run rate in this edition of the IPL.

Today's match was another surprise, i thought RCB would win the match easily but SRH played really well to restrict RCB and end up on a positive note even thought they had the worst team this season.

[Sithara007]

Today's match was another surprise, i thought RCB would win the match easily but SRH played really well to restrict RCB and end up on a positive note even thought they had the worst team this season.

Just three wins in 13 matches and half of the squad just there to make up the numbers. I was not surprised by the poor performance from the SRH. It is just unbelievable that a team which has players like Warner, Williamson, Rashid, Holder, Saha and Bhuvneshwar can perform so badly. Hopefully they will get a complete revamp in 2022 and get better. What they need in an urgent basis is a couple of players who can score runs in the middle order. Saha scored runs while opening the innings, but he failed when batting down the order.

I some how felt RCB took the match for granted. I never expected them to lose from SRH. They are the worst team in this season of IPL. What a spoiler this match was for those who put their money on RCB.

PBKS decided to bowl after winning the toss. PBKS performance is completely irregular. Players cannot perform consistently. This is the last match of PBKS. Even if they win, they are unlikely to advance to the next round. Since Chennai are batting first, and their top-order batsmen are doing very well, I think Chennai will target more than 170 runs today.

Chennai's batsmen are having a hard time to batting. At least, that's what their batting looks like. Chennai scored only 18 runs in 3.5 overs. At least 25 runs should be collected in the first 3 overs of the power play. Gaikwat just returned to the dressing room, collecting 12 off 14 balls. If Moin Ali and Du Plessis do not form a good partnership, it will be difficult for Chennai to win today's match.

Moeen Ali is dismissal only for 0. Chennai's batting looks weak from the start of the match. In previous matches, their batsmen have been aggressive from the start of the match. But in today's match they are wasting a lot of balls. They collected only 30 runs in 6 overs. They lost 2 wickets of Moeen Ali and Raturaj Gaikwat. I don't think they will be able to collect more than 150 if Du Plessis is out.

Eventually made a total of 134/6, thanks to some big hitting from Faf du Plessis towards the end. Punjab once again threw away a match that was firmly in their control for most of the time. Apart from Faf, none of the other CSK batsmen made a score of more than 20. Now it is going to be tough for the Punjab Kings, given the fact that they have a very brittle middle order. If KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal can get them to a good score by the end of first powerplay, then they will have a chance. Else Punjab will be out of this year's IPL.

Although SRH had a very bad season, but they have quality players. And even if some of those players perform ( which happened vs RCB ) and they won the match. It was a close match though, they won by only 4 runs. Jason Roy played a good knock of 44 from 38 balls and the bowlers were very economical. Umran,  Kaul, and Buhvi gave 21,24 and 25 runs in their respective 4 overs.  I feel like Padikkal wasted a lot of balls that came back to bite them in the later overs. Scoring only 42 of 52 balls is not very good.

[CryptoBuds]

what's about KKR vs RR match? A very important match for kolkata. If they can't win the match today then going to the next round will depend on winning or losing the next match of Mumbai Indians. So for Kolkata, it is a kind of do-or-die match. They must win. Batting first, Kolkata collected 44/0 runs in 8 overs.

Kolkata has given a target of 172 runs. I think this target is enough to win against a team like Rajasthan Royals. Because the bowling line of Kolkata is very strong. They have experienced spin bowlers like Shakib and Narine. From the start of Rajasthan's innings, if the Kolkata bowlers can do the planned bowling, an easy victory awaits them.

[Minor Miner]

The most irregular team this season is Rajasthan. Against Chennai, they won easily by batting for 190 runs. In the next match against Mumbai, he scored only 90 runs. In today's match against Kolkata, Rajasthan is batting with a target of only 172 runs. They lost 4 wickets to collect only 13 runs. They have no chance of winning this match. However, today it does not seem that they will be able to collect even 80 runs.

Punjab has proven themselves. As you expected, KL Rahul has scored 98* from 42 balls which supported the team to win the match by 13th over keeping 42 balls left in hand. Seriously an amazing innings from PBKS to move to 5th place in the table. However it really disappointed the CSK lovers to see consecutive 3rd loss in the event though its in on the top of the table. Play offs is getting closure but CSK should again come back to the form and play well.
