T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[BALIK]

If Hyderabad is not unlucky then Hyderabad will win today. Because Mumbai may have played better in the last few matches. But so far this season, Mumbai's highest collection is 186 runs. It is very difficult to win by chasing such a big score. But if Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are able to make a good start then Mumbai's chances of winning will increase.

Mumbai's two openers are batting as destructively as it looks like they are going to win the fourth match. Mumbai scored 89 runs in 10 overs. And they haven't lost a single wicket yet. Ishan Kishan is unbeaten on 37 off 29 balls and Rohit Sharma is unbeaten on 43 off 33 balls. 105 runs required in 10 overs. To win, Mumbai still need to score more than 10.50 runs per over. Yet I think the chances of both teams winning are equal.

SRH put up such a big total and I don't think that Mumbai has any real chance for today. The trio of Priyam Garg, Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran took them to a total of close to 200. After good spells earlier on, both Daniel Sams and Riley Meredith leaked too many runs towards the end. Mumbai needs close to 10 runs per over and although they have got a good start, they are lagging behind as far as run rate is concerned. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have so far added 63 runs for the first wicket. But at this point, the required run rate is close to 11 runs per over.

Ishan kishan is playing just to better his stats just like he played in last game. Match has very much slipped out of the hands of MI. If SRH wins today they might have chance to make it to next round. SRH would have easily qualified for the next round if they haven't done blunder of losing 5 matches in a row.

Mumbai's collection 127/4 in 15 overs. In the last 5 overs, they have collected only 39 runs and lost 4 wickets. 67 runs were needed to win in 5 overs. This is very difficult for Mumbai. Because I don't see any experienced batsmen in the crease. Mumbai will now have to collect 13.4 runs per over. It is very sad not to win this match even after collecting 95 runs in the first wicket partnership.

Mumbai lost their fifth wicket in 16.4 overs. Now they need 50 runs from 20 balls. Tim David is playing well. He is collecting 17 runs from 10 balls. He is batting responsibly enough. However, collecting 50 runs from 20 balls will not be easy. If Tim David and Ramandeep Singh both play well then maybe Mumbai will win. However, it seems very unlikely.

The game-changing over. T. Natarajan gave 26 runs on the 18th over. Tim David hit 4 over boundaries in this over. But in the last ball Natarajan takes David's wicket. Now Mumbai needs only 19 on 12 balls. The match though is now under Mumbai's control. However, I am not sure if Sanjay Yadav and Randeep Singh will be able to collect 19 runs. Bhubaneswar Kumar is a very experienced bowler. It will be difficult to collect runs in this over.

A very close victory by SRH today, they were about to collect there 6th consecutive defeat but luckily Tim David got run out and that turned the table towards MI. Till Ishan kishan it was very much clear that MI will lose the game because of slow batting by Ishan but David was classical today.

Your guess was right. Natarajan gave 26 runs in the 18th over. But in the 19th over. Bhubaneswar Kumar did not give any run. Hyderabad has won by 3 runs today because of his amazing 7 balls. But if Tim David had been able to stay at the crease, the outcome of the match would have been in Mumbai's favor today. Tim David's 46 off 18 balls was impressive.

After 18 overs, I thought that MI would be able to win the match but they didn't play well in the 19th over. If they managed to score 5-7 runs in this over, there was big chance to win without any hassle. Hyderabad played so good and they really deserved this victory.

They could have easily won the match if they had not lost the wicket of Tim David. He destroyed Natrajan and in the same over he also got run out because I felt he became over confident. The best part of the match was the struggle of Bhumrah to hit a ball in Bhuvneshwar kumar over. SRH can still qualify for the playoffs but it is very bleak now.

[Sithara007]

What happened to Natarajan? Looks as if he is not the same bowler he was before the injury. Conceded 60 runs from his 4 overs. And given the fact that the other SRH bowlers (Bhuvneshwar, Umran.etc) are in top form, his position within the playing XI will be at risk. To his credit, he was the one responsible for the dismissal of Tim David. If the latter was still there, then Mumbai would have won the match with ease. Ramandeep Singh managed some big hits, but he didn't got much support from the tail (Sanjay Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, who scored 0 runs from 6 balls).

Meanwhile Namibia is touring Zimbabwe, first T20I was played yesterday. As I was scrolling thorough scorecard, I am sadden to see that I have no idea of majority of Zimbabwe players. This team was once as strong as anyother team but now its limited to playing with associate teams.
Zimbabwe won the first T20I by 7 runs.

Today's match is between LSG and KKR, LSG is batting now. If we look at the match I think we can see that KKR is in a better form recently compared to LSG.

But LSG is surely in a comfortable position, obviously, a win is not going to hurt them at all. KKR really needs the win today. But I highly doubt that this win is going to be enough for KKR. KKR needs to win really big otherwise, they will be behind in terms of net run rate. If they just win this match they will be able to go ahead of RCB but that is not going to be enough. I think they will try really hard to win with a big margin in this match but that is surely some added pressure for them and I don't think they will be able to handle it.


Good Luck

KKR VS LSG
Kolkata Knight Riders against Lucknow Super Giants for the second time. KKR is in 6th position whereas LSG is in third place. Both the teams have played 13 matches however KKR got 6 to their side and LSG has 8 wins.
KKR won their last game vs Hyderabad wherein LSG lost against RR. The last game of both the teams was won by KKR by 75 runs. I think KKR could manage to get today’s match hoping so.

The outcome of today's game is not important for LSG as they are through to next round but for KKR to qualify for next round this is a must win game. At the moment LSG are batting and they are 55/0 in 8 overs. Projected score at the moment is 160, which will be not easy to chase under lights.

Zimbabwe won the first T20I by 7 runs.

Zimbabwe was once a very good team that could challenge the top-level teams in cricket but things have changed now and they lost their way. Probably Taylor was one of the senior players in the Zimbabwe squad but with some recent 'problems' he is also out of the squad right now. He was the backbone of Zimbabwe cricket for a long time.

LSG    vs    KKR

Let's enjoy the Lucknow vs KKR's match. I think this match will be competeting. But in the previous match, Kolkata lost to Lucknow by a huge margin. Probably Lucknow gave a target of 176 runs. But Kolkata ended their innings with only 101 runs. And so I think Lucknow will play well today. After losing the last two matches, they need to win today's match. Lucknow's batsmen are quite experienced. My prediction is that Lucknow will be able to give a target of 185-195 runs today. And that is enough to win against Kolkata.

Whatever happens, a bowler absolutely cannot get hit for 60 runs in his four overs. But in the bowler's defense, I have to say that maybe he just had a bad day. And there are some days when nothing is going in your favor. Whatever you try does not come off. If he could maybe bowl a little economically his team would have had better chances of winning. But the thing is they did win the match in the end. But it was really close match in the end.

After the end of 10 overs LSG are 83 for no loss. Projected score now is 175 and IMO they will easily reach 180/190 if they play sensibly. Kock and Raul both are not out on 42, KKR need to slow this down and that's only possible if they can get 2 to 3 wikcets very quickly.

After 15th overs, LSG are able to collect 122 runs. But they didn't lose any wicket. Q.de Kock is unbeaten on 69(48) and K.L Rahul is unbeten on 52(43). Despite having two such experienced batsmen at the crease, their run rate is only 8.13. I don't think the pitch is bowling friendly. LSG should collect at least 70 runs in the last 5 overs.
