T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[pakhitheboss]

Alas, my prediction was wrong in relation to this match. PBKS had an outstanding match today and totally washed out GT. @mamun74 - good prediction in regarding the match. I'm sure that if you had bet for PBKS, the betting odds would have been higher and you would have got a huge payout for it.

No one was expecting this result. Everyone like me thought that it will be an easy win for GT but thanks to extraordinary spell by Kagiso Rabada, GT were restricted to 143. PBKS chased that without much hassle. Now we are seeing low scoring games, team batting first are mostly scoring  around 150.

Gujarat was in such remarkable form. Today's result was completely unexpected. They have collected only 143 runs. And winning in this collection is almost impossible. The performance of the bowlers was also very bad. Gujarat has been the most consistent team in the IPL this season. The Punjab team on the other hand is completely unstable. It was unthinkable for me that Punjab would win this match

I never expected them to lose from PBKS. A big win for Punjab they reached the target in the 16th over with 8 wickets in hand. Except Sudarshan non of the GT batsmen were able to play yesterday. It is not at all easy to defend a score of 143 on a pitch where the average score is between 160 to 170. All credits for this win goes to Rabada, he got 4 important wickets in his spell.

Both the new teams have almost in a confirmed state for the playoff. For the next two position the competence have started to increase with the win of PBKS. I find Punjab Kings a better team than Gujarat Titans considering the players. I don't know, this is just my personal opinion. Gujarat Titans have got players who are good enough to play according to the situation.

Punjab won the match with 4 overs to spare, so the win boosted their net run rate as well. They are at 5th spot now, behind the SRH (and SRH has played one match less than Punjab). Right now, Lucknow and Gujarat are all set to enter the next phase, which is surprising considering the fact that these two are new franchises and this is their first season. Rajasthan is at #3 with 12 points from 10 matches. But their entry to the next stage is not confirmed and they have all of their last two matches (against KKR and Mumbai).

Punjab just destroyed Gujarat in last game. GT gave target of 143 and that too because of Sai Sudharsan 65 runs, apart from that there is nothing worthy in GT batting lineup. A part from Jonny Bairstow, every batsmen in Punjab batting lineup was lucky yesterday. This loss won't have any impact on GT chances of reaching next stage but definitely its a big bonus for Punjab.

I remember before the start of the IPL many had ruled out Punjab, but surprisingly they haven’t played that bad this season which shows how unpredictable IPL really can be. Also Lucknow and Gujarat are looking very strong, and maybe they’ll be facing each other in the finals?, and lastly I have a strong feeling that one of them will win the IPL title this year.

What a start by GT And LSG, they were first time in the tournament and right away grabbed the number 1 and 2 spots. They both are already qualified for next round while while nothing is ascertain of number 3 and 4 slot. Still lot of ipl left till 22nd May 2022 and any team can grab number 3 and 4 slot.

Both the Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are newly introduced teams this season, and the newly introduced teams have been performing well. There is a lot of excitement and pride among the management and fans as they prepare for the next round. In the tournament for the IPL 2022 Playoffs, who will take in the number 3 and 4 slots? SRH and Rajasthan Royals might be perfect choices.

SRH, PBKS and RCB all have won 5 matches. I think it's too early to say about slot 3 and 4, as lots of IPL is still pending till 22nd May. But i do agree with you that the way SRH and RR are going there are fair chances that these team may also reach next round.

RR is for sure for 3rd spot. I can easily say that.
And yes don't think RR as a weak time(as they lost from MI in the last match).
I guess by the end of league matches GT,LSG,RR and RCB will qualify for the playoffs.
RCB because of all the player's dedication and hard work for the team.
Why not SRH ? It's because, they don't have a strong batting lineup comparing to other teams.
Let's see what the other community members, say about this.

I have an intuition that RR will take the 3rd slot and I am not sure about SRH whether they will be still retaining the 4th spot or if any other team will take it. PBKS, DC, and KKR can still occupy that space if they work on their NRR. CSK still can go that far as now Dhoni is handling the captaincy and under him, they have achieved such huge feets with ease.

Finally Chennai Super Kings have missed the train to the top four with the defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. There was big expectation as Dhoni took the captaincy, but the players lack taking responsibility. This means there is no player to perform according to the situation. So, this time CSK can now be removed from the list. The competence will be between Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Good thing for RCB in today's game is that king kohli scored 30 runs, I don't know whether this is his highest or not. RCB have a balanced team and they have not done mistake of investing in one player only like MI. MI and CSK are eliminated in very early state.

GT and LSG Are trying really well this season and they are both new teams in the IPL franchise. I did not think they will do the well that they have been doing in the tournament. I honestly expected the older teams that have already participated in the IPL  to do better but it seems like the new teams are taking the spotlight. I think they are going to go a long way in this tournament judging by the way they are playing right now.

Overall performance of RCB is not so good. They have some good players but they're not performing well at this time. 30 runs from 33 balls for Kohli isn't in satisfactory level. Total run was good enough to fight and finally they managed to win the match against CSK.

Rahul and Pandya have made themselves successful reaching the playoffs in their very first season as captain. This has happened as a result of players from both the teams doing good. In particular in few matches unexpected ending performance happened with both the teams. Those are all moments that makes the team get stronger. Anyhow in my view the trophy isn't gonna be for Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans

[Sithara007]

Despite all of these statistics RCB break a four match losing streak against CSK. Kohli is out of from, what he manage to score it's decent and total runs good enough to fight. Indeed they were managed win against CSK. Kohli gain some momentum, hopefully continuous it at least it'll help them return to playoff.

Too early to say whether Kohli is back in form or not. Right now what matters is that RCB is at the 4th position, with 12 points from 11 matches. But we need to remember that the 5th and 6th placed teams have played lesser number of matches when compared to RCB. SRH has 10 points from 9 matches and Punjab has 10 from 10. So there is no guarantee that RCB will manage to qualify for the next stage. And as far as Kohli is concerned, his overall stats are not yet satisfactory. Till now he has scored 216 runs at an average of 21.60, and strike rate of 111.91.

I also feel that the trophy will not go to any of these two teams. I think it would be an older team that will win this season IPL. After yesterday's win RCB are still in contention. SRH can still take the fourth spot if they win the next match. DC can reach that spot too if they also win the next match. Both teams will be playing today. This will be an interesting match to watch.

This is very worrying sign for India and i hate to say that Kohli is turning out to be disaster.

He did score 80ish runs in last 2 matches but it wasn't typical Kohli's knock. He's considered master in rotating strikes in any situation but that's hardly a case nowadays, just look at his recent Strike rate.

If BCCI is comfortable with Kohli current stats and have his spot reserved in national squad and same is done by RCB management then why King kohli need to worry. The way things are going I am sure kohli will continue this form till his retirement from national and ipl squad.

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad


This match should be a 50-50 between both these teams because I think the teams are in the same type of form right now and it is really hard to predict which team is going to win today.
SRH has won the toss and decided to bowl first.
the lineup is pretty much identical,


This match is going to be very important for both teams because if Delhi Capitals win they will be able to jump up to the fifth spot and if Sunrisers Hyderabad wins they will be able to jump up to the third spot in the standings.

I don't think India is going to worry that much because they do have players to substitute him. and as he is not in the form I really don't think there is any reason why he should be playing in the national team playing 11. he should play every match in the IPL so that he can show some light of hope but if he can not I think he should be dropped from the team.

I am still hopeful about Virat Kohli and I  think he is just putting too much pressure on himself and that's why his performance is not good at all right now. let's see what he can do in the IPL till the end of the tournament
