T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[onecall123]

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.

166 runs was no big deal, but MI made it difficult to take the slow start. This time, it was Pat Cummins who caused the most trouble for MI's batters as he took three wickets in his single over. It was then business as usual for the KKR bowlers. In just 113 runs, MI lost their entire team. Kolkata won by 52 runs.

166 runs is a reachable target, but Mumbai Indian players weren't able to perform. Most of the wickets were unwanted. The target isn't that big to get pressure. From the beginning there is no proper plan on scoring, and somehow Ishan kishan managed to score 51 runs. Ishan kishan was playing good and he should've maintained the score, but he looked for early shots which ended with a catch.

It's similar story for the Mumbai Indians. Ishan Kishan made a solitary half century, and none of the other batsmen could even score above 15 runs. This time Tim David and Kieron Pollard failed as well. Anyway, good to see Venkatesh Iyer back in Kolkata Knight Riders playing XI. He got a good score today, but didn't got an opportunity to bowl. He is a genuine allrounder, but I don't know why the captains don't want to give him the ball. Maybe they are afraid that one day he will be able to replace Hardik Pandya.

I agree with you. For a platform like IPL, it is very difficult to win with a target of 166 runs. But Kolkata has done this difficult task. Pat Cummins bowled brilliantly. It would not have been so easy for Kolkata to win if he had not taken 3 wickets in 1 over. Kolkata won by 52 runs for the outstanding contribution of each bowler.

Currently, these both teams are facing some serious trouble in batting but still today KKR able to have good target off 166 even this was achievable but still the worst MI completely fail to give any impact with seven players out on single digit and just one player I Kishan able to reach at some reasonable score of 51 and other three out on just 12,15 and 13 is never been ideal with this defeat now most chances they will end at bottom in this season because they are surely currently the worst team in this season like we have CSK and RCB few seasons back.

Even KKR were also not good but still few players are giving some good for their team, and they have few crucial wins which are good enough for them in this season.

It would not have been so easy for Kolkata to win if he had not taken 3 wickets in 1 over. Kolkata won by 52 runs for the outstanding contribution of each bowler.

All of them bowled well, and it's not just Pat Cummins. Tim Southee bowled really well in the initial overs. And before Cummins cleaned up the lower middle order, it was Andre Russell who finished the upper middle order. The spinners (Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy) were very economical. My only disappointment is that Venkatesh Iyer didn't got too many overs. He bowled just one over. I don't know why these people are not fully utilizing him. He has great potential with his right-arm medium pace.

I think t20 Cricket is very important for almost all the bowlers to get wickets but the spinners still have to do their main job which is bowling really economically, and in this match, they have done that. Normally in T20 cricket, we don't see too much coordination between the bowlers. and we also don't see too many bowling spells bowled with coordination. but it was good to see that in this match it was there.

I'm surprised for the result of last 4 matches of IPL. Each team got all out who batted in the second innings, and they lost the match by at least 50 runs! All those matches ended as an one-sided game in the second innings. Anyway, the top two teams of the leaderboard will play against each other today. The winner of today's match is going to ensure their position for the play-off round as a first team of this season.

Doesn't matter who wins today, as both GT and LSK have qualified for the next round. Both teams have played before on March 28, 2022,
and GT won by 5 wickets (with 2 balls remaining). Another victory here by GT will give them a psychological edge over LSG in the next round. Its very hard to predict who will win todays game as both are of same level.

I was thinking that the two new teams will end up at the bottom of the points table and now they are at top two position. How did they even managed this? The existing teams had the luxury of retaining players, while the two new teams had to purchase star players from the auction at inflated prices. Look at the case of players such as Hardik Pandya. He was dropped from Mumbai Indians due to poor form, and Gujarat Titans purchased him for a price of ₹150 million. At the same time, Mumbai Indians retained Kieron Pollard for just ₹60 million.

IPL matches are now becoming unpredictable. In yesterday's match, Mumbai Indians batted for only 166 runs but lost badly. However, in the previous two matches of this match, Mumbai has played very well and won. Delhi lost all their wickets for just 117 runs against Chennai. Hyderabad scored 125 runs against Bangalore. Due to such irregular performances of the teams, I have lost bets in several matches.

Gujarat vs Lucknow match today,I think both team can be win today.Very hard to predict today match cz both team are very strong this season. I hope today match will be more interesting. But Gujarat doing very well this season. They have some most valuable T-20 Player. Like Miller, Pandya those tow are very dangerous in T-20 Games.

But Gujarat doing very well this season. They have some most valuable T-20 Player. Like Miller, Pandya those tow are very dangerous in T-20 Games.

I believe that the advantage is with Lucknow. They have the momentum with them and have won 4 of their last 4 matches. On the other hand, Gujarat lost last two matches consecutively. One thing that I like about Lucknow is that they have got a very good team balance. Only shortfall I could notice is with the captaincy. KL Rahul is not the perfect captain material. Both their veterans (Quinton de Kock, Dushmantha Chameera, Jason Holder.etc) as well as the rookie players (Krishnappa Gowtham, Mohsin Khan.etc) have performed exceptionally well this season.

Gujarat Titans also balanced team.They have some T-20 specialist player,Like Rashid Khan,Hardik Pandey, Tewatia,Miller etc.They doing very well this season. Lucknow Captain Rahul didn’t his job as well in captaincy. Waiting for exactly who will win today match.I think,today match will be very hard, both team will be good fight for win.

I also believe that the advantage should be with Lucknow. They are coming on the back of four wins and Gujarat is coming on the back of two losses. so I  obviously think that the momentum is with Lucknow.  and I also agree that KL Rahul is not the best player to be captaining aside. But they are playing well and that's all matters in my opinion.

LSG and GT
LSG has played 11 games, and GT has also played 11 games in the series. Both the teams have won 8 games and lost 3 games and have 16 points each. Today’s match is going to be an interesting one since both the teams are strong teams so far, but of course, a win will only be for one of the teams. So let's sit back and enjoy the match between the two most amazing teams of the series so far.

MI also bought Ishan Kishan for over 15 crore, don't know who gave them suggestion to buy him at such high price. Meanwhile match is underway between LSG and GT. Its a good tight start from LSG as GT have scored 35 runs in 6 over but important thing is they have lost saha and wade. To win the game GT need to score over 160 runs.

I have also made some bad predictions in the past few matches because GT  who what's the best team in the IPL a few matches earlier and lost against Mumbai Indians who were the team at the absolute bottom of the standings. In the past few weeks, the teams have been performing really inconsistently. Especially the team batting in the second innings looks really bad meanwhile a few weeks earlier the team's batting second was winning almost all the matches.

Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bat. In the last few matches we have seen the teams batting first get the advantage and win. So after Gujarat decided to bat today, I thought they would play well today. But they collected 59 runs in 10 overs. Run rate less than 6 per over. And lost 3 wickets. If David Miller and Shubman Gill fail to build a good partnership, Gujarat will not be able to set big targets today.

GT going with current run rate of 6 and have scored 75 runs in 12 overs. Doesn't look that GT will set a big target as they have lost 3 wickets. Gill and Miller are on the crease but they haven't exploded yet. LSK will try to restrict GT under 140 to win the game and I am sure they will be successful in doing that.
