T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Vaskiy]

Being a supporter of Chennai Super Kings tried to find possible chances of getting into the playoff after a big win against Delhi Capitals. It looks funny, but any form of changes can happen with T20 format cricket.

If the outcome of the above matches come as this, there is chance for CSK to enter playoff based on the net run rate which is another big task.

CSK and MI need to do something incredible in order for them to qualify for the playoffs. Everyone knows LSG and GT will easily qualify and for the next two positions in the playoffs 8 teams will be battling with each other. In my opinion RR should be the third team and the fourth would be either SRH or DC. I do not think CSK has nay chance in this season and the same goes for MI.

Yes, the chances to reach playoff is very narrow for CSK. Mumbai Indians were already out of the league. LSG and GT have confirmed their entry. Among the remaining teams Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings have got high net run rate. So, it looks like the decider will be mostly the run rate. In that way Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals probably takes the third and fourth position.

I was supporting Mumabi Indian but they are already out of the league. I was also supporting LSG lets see what they come up with.
My prediction is that Dehli Capital will take the third slot and Rajistan Royal will end up at the fourth. A very long tournament is finally coming to the end. Hope Indians have enjoyed the tournament.

It's better to not make a decision too early since every possibility is there. Keep in mind the RCB as well. The Royal Challengers Bangalore have the best chance to reach the top four if they improve their run rate. They are looking at both departments as having strong units, so it's great to see RCB back. Based on their current statistics, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals have a better chance of taking the third and fourth spots, respectively.

Sports is a very unpredictable thing. You never know which team performs well while the good team fails to deliver on the field.
Looking fwd - as the series has now entered its final spell - its gaining more attraction. Our region does not broadcast IPL so we depend on the forum to know what is going on.

How many teams are left in IPL by now?
When is the quarterfinal. Lots of teams - lots of players. And not having an access of the IPL in our region is a trouble though. I get an idea of what is going on in IPL by reading the posts in the forum.

Only 4 teams are having a real chance of progressing to the next phase - the two new teams (Lucknow & Gujarat), as well as Rajasthan and Bangalore. The remaining teams have 10 points or less, and require some miracle in order to progress to the next stage. And apart from RCB, each of these teams have only three matches each left. The bottom ranking teams (CSK, KKR and MI) have zero chance of progressing to the next phase as they don't have enough points. And that is why today's match (Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders) doesn't have any relevance.

MI and KKR
KKR and MI both teams have meager wins, and both do not seem to be in good shape this year. In today’s match, KKR should win since their points at point table is not good as others and with today’s win team should manage themselves to put their best foot forward who knows they might have future matches being to their side and also help them get to increase their points at the point table.

MI is already out of IPL 2022 after straight 8 losses. KKR chances of reaching next round are also very low since they are at number 9 at the moment. I don't think outcome of today's match is important for any team in terms of making it to next round. Both teams playing to get points to better there position.

Hyderabad, Delhi and Punjab have scored 10 points in 11 matches. However, they are 4 points behind fourth-ranked Bangalore. However, if they can play well in the upcoming matches, they will be able to qualify for the next round. However, Hyderabad is still in a very bad position after losing the last 4 matches. I think if Delhi performs a little regularly, they will be able to go to the next round.
Kolkata and Mumbai will probably not qualify for the next round. However, the match will be competitive. Because Mumbai's performance in the last two matches was quite good.

Apart from KKR and MI, CSK may also not qualify for the next round. Although CSK performance has gone up since dohni took over captaincy. IMO, RR and RCB are clear for next round along with GT and LSK. SRH lost the track after there 4 consecutive otherwise they had easily make it for the next round.

I agree and I also don't see that the bottom teams have any chances of qualifying for the next stage in the  IPL. The teams that have the best chances are the top four teams.
I did not think these teams are going to be the top two in the IPL because they are relatively new teams in the IPL, So I think they have played well and exceeded a lot of people's expectations.

Mumbai Indians vs Knight Riders

Mumbai Indians are down bad in this life and there is no way they are going to be qualified in the next stage and that is also the same for Kolkata Knight Riders.

This match is absolutely not important in the current stage of the IPL.  well, at least not important about who is going to be qualified for the next stage.

But Mumbai Indians have been playing quite well since the last two matches and I think today they might win as well.

Mumbai India’s vs Kolkata Knight Rider's today match.Mumbai India’s opt bowl first.KKR have made 5 changes today match against MI,Rahane, Jakson,Cummins, Venkatesh,Chakravarthy are comes in.MI have 1 changed Suriya out Ramdeep come in.Mumbai Performance has very bad this season, they got 2 match win in 10 matches. What do you thik,who will win today match?

[YinShuiSiYuan]

Kolkata Knight Rider will be my pick. Mumbai have no chance to qualify for playoffs, they have lost their confidence to win either. KKR are batting and lost only 2 wickets after playing 12 overs. Their run rate quite fair, and hopefully they will reach 200. Kolkata Knight Rider all the way up!

KKR are doing good at the moment, as they are 148/5 in 16 overs. With current scoring rate of 9, KKR will give a target of 180 runs. Which is quite a decent total and seeing the previous matches history, anything above 150 will be difficult to  chase. KKR could have scored 200 runs but they lost 3 wickets in quick time.

Kolkata will not be able to score 200 runs. Probably their innings will end between 180-185. However, the performance of the first 3 batsmen of Kolkata's top order was excellent today. At the end of 17 overs, Kolkata lost 5 wickets and scored 156 runs. Winning against Mumbai will be a bit difficult if the target is below 200. Because Mumbai is in very good form now.

KKR have lost 9 wickets so far and it seems difficult that they may reach 180. What a spell by bumrah, 3 overs and 5 wickets. Haven't seen such majestic figures in IPL till now. KKR start was good but they keep losing wikcets after both openers got out. Still KKR will try to give target of 170.

Kolkata scored only 169 runs. They have collected only 1 run in the last over. Kolkata collected 25 runs in the last 5 overs, and they lost 4 wickets. If Kolkata could have continued batting as they started their innings, they could have easily scored 200 runs. Bumrah's superb bowling helped Mumbai to stop Kolkata to 169 in 20 overs. It looks like Mumbai will win today's match too.

Rohit Sharma returned to the dressing room after collecting only 2 runs. At the end of 3 overs, their collection is only 16. Since the target is only 166 runs, if Mumbai does not lose wickets too quickly then they will have not to face any problem to win this match. To win, Mumbai will have to collect around 8.8 per over. Mumbai has enough experienced players in the squad.

Positive sign for MI is that Ishan Kishan is still on the crease. He is playing carefully not taking much risk, seems like he wanna score runs for himself not for the team as he has scored 33 runs on 31 balls. Required run rate is touching 10 now. My guess is that KKR will win tonight.

The target of 166 runs was not a big target. At the same time, the players of Mumbai Indians were confident today after winning the last two matches. The performance of Mumbai's batsmen in the last two matches was also very good. However, against Kolkata today, Mumbai's situation is not very good as they are batting for just 166 runs. They collected only 58 runs in 9 overs. Winning the match is becoming difficult for them.

It's very much Ishan Kishan vs KKR. MI top 3 batsmen are gone only Ishan is holding the Fort. 83 of 46 balls need good hitting, ishan is very much settled on the crease so MI still have fair chances as long as he is there. Also Pollard is still to come. KKR are favorite at the moment but MI have 2 to 3 overs to prove that they can win.
