Lucknow    vs   Kolkata

In the match between Lucknow and Kolkata, I chose the Kolkata team to place the bet. Lucknow provided a target of 177 runs. But Kolkata lost their first wicket on zero run, and collected only 25 runs in 6.5 overs and lost 4 valuable wickets. At the end of 11 overs though Kolkata collected 69 runs. Kolkata has very little chance of winning this match. Kolkata needs to score 108 runs from 54 balls to win.

Kolkata scored 79 runs in 12 overs. Andre Russel is playing very well. He has scored 39 runs from 17 balls. He hit 5 over boundaries. If he is stay at the crease, Kolkata will win. Narine is a good enough player. If these two players can form a good partnership, Kolkata has the potential to win. Otherwise Kolkata will lose this match

When there is no better score at the powerplay overs then we can conclude this to be a losing match. With KKR during the first 8 overs KKR have scored just 30 runs losing 4 wickets. This isn't a good start. If there is a good start, then the middle order players contribution will help the team. Here without any performance from the openers and middle orders can't make the team win the match when there is continued wicket fall. Andre Russell tried the best and wasn't able to do what he thought.

It is so tough to win a match without the contribution of openers. Obviously middle orders play vital role for winning the match but openers should start very well. Russell was good and he played also well but unfortunately the contribution of Russell and Narine was not sufficient for winning the match against Lucknow.

The 19th over from Mavi is a crucial one. If KKR restricted within 150 runs this could've lowered the pressure while batting second. The 30 runs in the 19th over took the score of Lucknow Super Giants reach above 170. If not, surely this score could've looked small for KKR and the same might've helped KKR open the innings in a better way.

In reply KKR were never in the game, some resistance from Andre Russell and Sunil Narine lower down the order. Other then these two, whole batting line up of KKR collapsed today. Avesh Khan was man of the match for his majestic spell of 3 overs n which he took 3 wickets by just giving 19 runs. LSG are now number 1 in points table.

The performance of Lucknow bowlers surprised me today. Mohsin Khan bowled 3 overs and gave only 6 runs. He got 1 wicket. On the other hand, Jason Holder took 3 wickets in 2.3 overs. On the other hand, Avesh Khan took 3 wickets for 19 runs in 3 overs. Kolkata lost all their wickets for just 101 runs due to the outstanding performance of the bowlers.

KKR is struggling throughout this tournament and this is not a surprise today. LSG were not only good with bowl but they were equally good with bat today. LSG and GT are first time participating in IPL and they are at number one and two spot throughout the tournament. I am very much confident that GT will take this tournament.

The two new teams are really strong and they are able to field a winning combination in their first tournament which is really great. I never expected a turnaround like this as i expected them to take a long time to play together as a team but surprisingly they are the best teams in the tournament with a well balanced team and they can win the tournament with the way they are playing.

A part from IPL there is nothing interesting going on in cricket.
How far IPL has gone? Since we don't have an access to watch the match but I saw a video running on instagram an IPL  player got hooked during the match and they both were very happy. I don't know who that player is but good luck to the couple.

It is surprising. Two new teams are on the top of the table, and the irony is that the teams that are considered as heavyweights are all outside the top-4. Look at teams such as Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. These teams have won the championship the most number of times, and now they are languishing at the bottom of the points table. In case of Mumbai, it has been a horrendous season so far. They won two of their matches lately, but before that lost 8 matches consecutively.

SRH and RCB
So far, SRH played 10 matches with 5 wins and 5 defeats with positive NRR whereas RCB played 11 matches with 6 wins and 5 losses but with negative NRR. So, I feel in today’s match with negative NRR, RCB has the least chance to win the game. With the negative NRR team, RCB has to put in more effort to win the game.

So, I feel in today’s match with negative NRR, RCB has the least chance to win the game. With the negative NRR team, RCB has to put in more effort to win the game.

It is a really important match up for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore, SRH have some injury concern as Natarajan and Washington Sundar might not play this match and Marco Jansen who bowled well against RCB is out of form as he leaked too many runs. Umran Malik is bowling at good pace but he is also leaking runs in some matches. So it is hard to predict who will win the match.

It's very much expected now that LSG or GT can grab this IPL final. Hardik Pandya who is dropped from India T20I team because of bad performance is having a good time as GT captain. Though Hardik Pandya performance as a player is still not upto the mark but that doesn't matter as long as he can keep winning matches as captain.

These two new teams have a majority of new players who are eager to prove themselves. CSK, MI and KKR are full of established players and old players too. KL Rahul has previously failed as a captain and in this season he has proven that he can handle captainship very well. Hardik Pandya has also show that he can handle captainship without jeopardizing his performance. It all about getting attention of the selectors and being ready for the next role.

Its sunday and luckily we have two IPL games scheduled for today. Right now the game is in progress between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. RCB is batting first and as expected Virat Kohli is gone on the very first ball of the match. Man there is something seriously wrong with Kohli and that need to be fixed urgently.

[Maidak]

Royal Challengers vs Sunrisers

RCB has won the toss and decided to bat first. Looking at the form and also the squad I believe RCB has a better chance of winning this match and they actually have to win this match today. Otherwise, they will go further down and behind quite a few teams in the standings. actually, if SRH can win this match I think they will take the position of RCB in the standings.

Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar are playing well to reover early loss of Virat kohli. RCB after 7 overs are 58/1, going with RR of 8. With this RR they will be able to give target of 170/180 which is quite a decent one. Both teams are in dire need of victory as RCB is at number 4 while SRH are at no 6. It will an interesting game to watch.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is in a good position after loosing Virat Kohli in the first ball and with Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell is still in the crease and plenty of wickets left, they need to post a competitive total well above 180 runs to be competitive in this match and in the last few overs Sunrisers Hyderabad are bowling well restricting free flow of boundaries.

5 Overs to go and lets see how much RCB can score.

The 105 runs opening stand between Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar has done the work for RCB. RCB right now are looking to score sround 180 runs, thats very much possible since they have 8 wickets in hands and faf along with Maxwell is on the crease. If you are looking to place bet then go for RCB, they are favorite.

That happen when some players become more powerful than the board or when institute lack decisive leadership. Even Sachin didn't enjoy this much of power despite being backbone of Indian cricket for so long.

I think it is time for the Indian Cricket Board to assert some dominance and tell Virat Kohli that he should take some rest right now and that he is being dropped from the squad. If he can show good performance he will surely be added once again to the squad. and this is for the good of both the player and also the Indian cricket team.

These two teams are new in the IPL and they obviously have some certain ambition to prove themselves and go very deep in the tournament. On the other hand, I believe almost all the other teams that have been playing IPL for quite a long time does have trophies already. so the new teams are surely going to push really hard to do better in this tournament.

This is surely going to be WIN for Royal Challengers Bangalore in this match because Sunrisers Hyderabad needs 78 runs from 17 balls which is absolutely impossible at the moment in my opinion and especially when they have only 1 Wicket in hand. RCB played really well in this match and they deserved the win. And as always Virat Kohli Still proving to be a failure.

[LittleBitFunny]

Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals

I think DC should be the winner in this match if everything goes right. Chennai Super Kings has their team made of a bunch of hasbeens and I really don't expect too much from them in this match. The problem is both the teams have been really inconsistent and it is really hard to predict which team is going to win. for me, it is going to be a 50-50.

RCB won by 67 runs, got a score of 192 for 3, good win, though it seems to be difficult in the first few overs since Kohli lost his wicket so early but the team has done their best and bagged a victory for themselves. The score created by SRH was anyways not a big score in T20 matches but today RCB has done it.
