T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[LittleBitFunny]

Virat Kohli has played well last month but the only regret is that no one has scored well except him. However, when Virat Kohli retires, he may relax and play well. Virat Kohli was in very good form before he got the captaincy. After taking over the captaincy, the performance gradually decreased.

This is nothing new with RCB just check their history they have this issue for very long time mostly they were star-studded team but never have results which was expected from them. ABD, Maxwell and Kohli these can destroy any bowling line up, but strangely they fail to give required results in this season IPL. But, now Kohli is already step down from captaincy, let's wait how they perform in next season because this is going to be good chance for them. It's also good for Kohli as now he can play freely for his team.
Today's qualifier must be another exciting match and I have already placed my bets on KKR due to their spin attack. But for final on Friday, I may stay without betting on any team as high voltage matches may swing to any any team.

RCB hasn't won the trophy in 14 years and that is a matter of shame because every season they have the most stacked batting lineup in the league. Kohli stepping down from captaincy could be a good decision for both him and the team as the team can now have a new captain and Kohli can now play a bit more pressure-free and tension-free. In this match even I'm supporting KKR. Shakib and Narine have been phenomenal for them recently. If I'm not wrong, last match Narine took 4 wickets and gave only 21 runs. Shakib has also played well by being very economical.

This match has turned towards KKR, because the target looks like a reachable score for them. Delhi Capitals would've started the innings with power, but they planned for slow scoring and hard hitting after 10 overs. The bowling of KKR has made them not go upon the plan. Some KKR have restricted DC at 135/5

[onecall123]

Dhawan and Stoinis are playing too slow, and could dearly cost DC. There's never been this much horrible wicket for any team in a tournament. It was a low scoring pitch, the ball didn't even bounce. Imagine what the batters could do with such an awful pitch! Since DC has been restricted at 135/5, KKR have a good chance of getting to the final by scoring this run. Let's see!

What is happening with Kolkata Knight Riders, i thought they would win the match easily and now they are loosing wickets and now Delhi Capitals is having the upper hand and they are really struggling to score singles which is stupidity and now they need 6 runs from the last 3 balls and if Delhi Capitals wins the match, then there is nothing much to say as Kolkata Knight Riders messed up completely.

Edit: Another wicket, this is a complete turnaround in the match which i never expected.

For a while I thought this game is preplanned. Only 13 runs were needed from last 4 overs and they had 8 wickets in hand. But they played 23 balls to make that 13 runs and lost 5 more wickets. KKR had easy winning situation but they made the game complicated. I won again today by placing a bet on KKR. I am planning to place my bet on CSK in the final match.

Sometimes it looks like a fixed match, but the end result gives a clear understanding. In this season few matches looked like completely fixed matches. Few matches that I felt as fixed are the match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Another one Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both matches looked like a game in which Mumbai is near to reach the top 4 on the points table.

There is a lot chance for CSK if it scores more than 160 plus by batting up first as KKR has strong bowlers. If KKR has chance to choose the batting first, then need to take off the opening batsmen Venaktes Iyer and Shubman Grill. They really showed off their best today with best score each today. CSK has good line up of batting. However, Dhoni has to plan to bring in best bowlers. Dhoni is well experience in dealing with such situation. So lets hope for the best.

Today we have KKR and DC playing to win a spot in the finals. DC is a strong team than KKR and in my opinion, they have a better chance of winning today's match. Another interesting fact is that if Sunil Narine performs like hid did in the previous match with RCB then DC might get into trouble. Who do you think will win today?

If things go the way they are, then it should be easy for the Delhi Capitals. They have the depth in their batting lineup and variety in their bowling. On the other hand, for the KKR there are a number of weak spots which may haunt them. Narine performed well during the last match, but his form was pathetic so far this year. Ferguson was bowling well in the beginning, but he's getting more expensive now. And although their openers (Shubman Gill & Venkatesh Iyer) have scored quick runs, the middle order has failed in most of the matches.

Delhi is definitely the favorite in this match. But the favorite team does not always win. Delhi was also a favorite against Chennai. They were defeated. I'm not relying on Narine. He has given an outstanding performance in this one match of the season. His performance in past matches was poor. Shakib is on the Kolkata team. He is an experienced bowler. Ferguson is not bad. The bowling lineup is very good. If Kolkata batsmen can play well then maybe Kolkata will be managed to win.

Predictions cannot be made for sure about Kolkata's match at the moment. Just as Delhi is a strong team, Kolkata is also strong enough. Since T is the 20 format. The outcome of the match may change at any time. If Shakib and Narine perform well today, then Kolkata has a chance to win. Calcutta would have been stronger if Russell had been in the squad. I will not bet on this match. Because both teams have a chance to win.

There was nothing to predict I had a hunch that KKR will defeat DC. The way they have performed in the last two matches I somehow feel they might win this season of IPL. I might be over confident here but anything is possible in T20 format as you said. The finals will be interesting to watch.

It is a shame that DC is not playing in the finals, because they had the best team balance. Also, this is a personal setback for Rishabh Pant, who is being regarded as one of the players who are likely to replace Virat Kohli as the Indian captain in the future. If DC had won the trophy this time, then he could have been in a better position. Now he faces increased competition within his own franchise (Shreyas Iyer). Still, it was a very close match. KKR slumped from 123/2 to 130/7 in almost no time.

Pant is no where close to other players when talking about captaincy of National team. He only got DC's captaincy because Iyer got injured and Ashwin- Dhawan due are oldies. Also Ashwin was new edition to the Delhi's squad. Prithvi was better candidate for the captaincy but he's not regular player of Indian squad and has no brand value when comparing to Pant. So Pant was obvious choice.

When it comes to national side KL Rahul is considered future captain after Rohit-Virat. If by any chance Shreyas, Prithvi and Gill cement their position in limited overs squad then they are also strong candidate (specially Shreyas).

I was talking about a scenario which is likely to occur after 3-4 years (after the retirement of Virat). I assume that by then Pant will have much better chances when compared to any of the other players (Rahul, Shreyas and Shaw). Only Pant has his spot assured in the playing XI, and even for Rahul it is not 100% guaranteed. And there is not much competition as well, since the other options (Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan.etc) have failed to make their mark even after repeated opportunities handed out to them.

He might emerge as a competitor in near future but BCCI is very consistent in their approach when appointing captain. They like longevity, they always back their skipper despite some failure and avoid changing captain like clothes. Which is very admirable quality imo. So if by any chance frontrunners "Rahul, Shryas" gets chance to lead the team then it would tough for Pant for the very same reason i mentioned.

My reading is that for very short term Rohit is going to lead the national team similar to Dravid and then they will hunt for new captain.

CSK can do this score but after checking last two matches now I am feeling Kolkata is not easy team for anyone right now they have done stunning job and never allow their opponents to give them good target it's really great from their bowling line up Shakib, Mavi, Narain and Ferguson making this all great for their team.

Now we are heading for big final in Dubai where 160 is also not good target as last few matches all teams chase this target very successfully so if CSK going to first inning then surely they need minimum 200 runs and if they are going for bowling then they need some good and spirited bowling from their front liner bowlers.

T20I world-cup is about to begin in few days. Its really sad to see team like Sri lanka (a great cricketing side) playing qualifying rounds. But I am very sure they will made it to the main stage. While Afghanistan has made it straight to the world-cup, a good sign for there future cricket. 
To me only big 3 and there ally CNZ are strong contestant to win this cup, other then that only teams that can have some impact are WI and Pakistan.
The biggest gambling event will on 24 Oct 2021 i.e. Pak vs India.

We always have a lot of discussions about Pakistan vs India matches. Hope to see a competitive match. But most of the time the outcome of the match goes to India. From 2012 to 2019, the two teams have met a total of 12 times. Out of these 12 grounds, India has won 8 matches and Pakshithan has won only 4 matches. Moreover, India has won the last 4 matches between these two teams. These were the ODI match statistics. The two teams have met six times since 2012 in the T20 format. India has won 5 of them.

What a match that was between KKR and Delhi capitals, just 13 needed in 25 balls with 9 wickets in hand and then 2 needed of 6 balls.
And hitting that 6, kkr would be very relieved as they almost let this go out from their grasp after reaching a winning position. But have to say good last over by Ashwin.

The match was completely under the control of Kolkata. At first the target was very small. The second was the remarkable partnership of the first two batsmen which made it easier for Kolkata to win the match. But the over of Rabada, Ashwin and Nortje towards the end was very impressive. In the last over, it was feared that Kolkata might lose. But they won.

BS!

If not for the last ball six from Rahul Tripathi, Delhi Capitals would have gone to the finals. To win they required 6 runs from 2 balls and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a very poor delivery to Tripathi. The match was firmly in Delhi's control from overs 17 to 19.4. Once Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill got out, none of the other batsmen could make sizable contributions. All Ashwin had to do was to prevent Tripathi from hitting a six and he failed in doing that (none of the other DC bowlers had any overs remaining in their 4-over quota).

What a finish!
It is for this reason that cricket is an uncertain game. An impressive comeback by KKR in the second half of the match. The youngsters made their mark in this one. There was always concern over the middle order. You know what that means, KKR makes the finals. Fans have been waiting for this since 2014. Let's watch for KKR vs CSK! Anyway, thank you KKR for almost giving us a heart attack...

Really this was one of the best game of this season and surely few can face heart attack as this was going into end but still very good from Kolkatta as they came from behind and now joins CSK in grand finale for this season after very long time.

Their middle order is still concern for them even I was not feeling in this way because their lower order is in good shape but under pressure they all gone like crap which is matter of concern, but now they have no time for having any planning about this just prepare and go for best in final on Friday. Where big CSK is waiting for them, I am hoping for good performance from Kolkatta as they are good fighters.
