T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Errors are an integral part of any game. Normally, DC would win the match, but small things matter a great deal. A clueless captaincy from Pant and non-review of caught behind and irresponsible batting all contributed to RCB qualifying. While Delhi has worked hard to get into the playoffs, it failed to succeed when it matters most.

MI is an associate level team in this IPL and whe n everything was in favour of DC they lost it. Rovman Powell and Pant were only two major contributor from DC in batting. In such crucial match DC should have gone for 180 plus but they settled for 159. In the end its victory for RCB.

They had a poor run but we shouldn't jump into conclusion. They are Champion team backed by fine supporting staff and they know how to bounceback. From the start they were quite clear that they want to build the team for the future and in doing so if it hurts their interest then they were okay with it.

This would be core MI team in coming years, hardly a associate level team IMO.

Ishan Kishan had a off season but he's good bat.
Dewald Brevis - He's an excellent bat and future star.
Tilak Varma - Another terrific 19 year old kid and making headlines with his performance.
SKY already a proven character
Tim David also clicked and showed what he's capable of.
Bumrah + Archer(if he's fit) will lead the bowling attack.

Then there are Rohit+Pollard for couple of more years.

Edit

BCCI announced their T-20 squad against South Africa. Usual suspects are rested due to one off test against England

MI is an associate level team in this IPL and whe n everything was in favour of DC they lost it. Rovman Powell and Pant were only two major contributor from DC in batting. In such crucial match DC should have gone for 180 plus but they settled for 159. In the end its victory for RCB.

I don't believe in the argument that Mumbai is weaker than the other teams in the IPL. They have won the trophy multiple times and they have some of the best T20 players in their squad. For them, there were two negatives this season. Team balance got disrupted after players such as Trent Boult and Quinton de Kock left the franchise. And Rohit's captaincy was poor throughout this season. And then comes Delhi Capitals, who despite their good team balance failed to qualify to the next phase due to poor captaincy. 

What's going on in IPL - which teams are on the top?
Any good luck to Hydrabad team? I keep myself updated on the matches through these forums. Hope Indians are enjoying the league!

DC lost Warner and Shaw early however Pant and Powell tried their best to help the team to stay in-game as they have got into a rhythm, were departed. Anyways, MI won and finished on high by 5 wickets and sent DC home, and helped RCB reach playoffs.
In 2018 MI vs DC was a must-win for MI but DC won over them. Now, 2022 MI vs DC, it was must a win for DC but got defeated.

Sunrisers Hyderabad VS Panjab Kings
Punjab will get an easy victory with the target of only 158 runs given by Hyderabad. Punjab scored 103 runs in 11 overs. They lost three wickets. Punjab needs 55 runs from 54 balls to win. Despite the good performances of Abhishek and Rahul, Hyderabad gave a target of only 156 runs due to the poor performance of the middle order. However, neither team has a chance to qualify for the playoffs.

Since I keep myself updated on IPL through the forum - nothing on our TV channels about the IPL. Read it above that Hydrabad is going to play semi final if they win today, are they in semi finals now? What's the current update of IPL now as it is heading towards finals.

The final four is Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore according to their rankings. In that Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will play the first qualifying match and the winner goes to the final while Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers will play the elimination match and the winner of elimination match and the looser of first qualifier play again for a spot in the final.

All the four teams are equally strong. Both the new teams looks more confident, because of reaching the playoff in its very first season. Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals have got two opportunities to make their entry into final whereas Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants needs to be very careful with the matches. In this regard RCB vs LSG will be more interesting than GT vs RR.

The biggest joke is that, out of the four teams going in to the playoffs, two are new franchises who are playing their first season in the IPL. Before the tournament started, I was thinking that they will finish at the bottom. The auction - retaining system is designed in such a way, to favor the existing franchises. But they surprised everyone and put up a splendid performance. One reason is that some of the players who were released as a result of poor form performed exceptionally for their new franchise. Examples are David Warner, Hardik Pandya and Trent Boult.

Gujarat and Lucknow have maintained their consistency since the start of the season. On the other hand, the performance of all the other teams was unstable. The performances of renowned and strong teams like Chennai and Mumbai were the worst. I will blame their captaincy for Chennai's poor performance. Their performance was poor due to poor captaincy in the starting matches of the season. They could not return to the truck.
I blame Rohit Sharma for Mumbai's poor performance. The performance of an experienced player like him this season has been very disappointing.

Finally the group stage is over and it's stretched too much. They could have completed first stage quickly but the management preferred for one match per day. The final match was not important for anyone since we have already 4 teams for playoffs. SRH lost the path when they took it easy n lost 5 consecutive matches.

The reason I think that they did well is because they are really determined to do well at this IPL because they are new teams, and also this could be because the other older teams did not make too many changes in their squad which in my opinion massively helped them. We did not expect these two teams to do so well but they have exceeded everyone's expectations in this IPL. And I agree that the older teams have failed mostly because of their captaincy.

Hyderabad elected to bat, and Abhishek Sharma got off to a fantastic start, but they continued to lose wickets in the middle overs. Sundar and Romario were instrumental in achieving the final score. Hyderabad was not adept in fielding and performed below expectations, which cost them, as they were simply blown away by Punjab's power.

The run rate was low from the start of Hyderabad's innings. At the end of 16 overs, their collection was probably 99 runs. Collecting 6 runs per over for a platform like IPL is a very low collection. They scored 48 runs in the 17th to 19th overs. If they could have kept the run rate at least 8 from the start of the match, they would have undoubtedly given more than 180 targets. It was very difficult to win with a target of 158 runs.

I did not see any tendency to win matches among the players of Hyderabad. Since they could not qualify for the playoffs, this match was not important to them. They have been batting slowly since the beginning of the match. Even after giving a target of only 158 runs, the performance of their bowlers was poor. Their fielding was worse. After all, I did not see any interest in winning the match of their players.

Seem like the match is fixed - LOL ) that is what we used to say when we see such kind of performance.
The moral of the bowlers and batsman are both low. That is a very important match - but the performance of the Hyderabad players is very bad. So strange!

Today Qualifier 1 match, Rajasthan vs Gujarat. What do you think, Which team can be qualifier  for next round?My prediction goes to Gujarat Titans, I think, they can be qualifier. If both team can be win this match but i Think Gajarat will win today match against Rajasthan. Gujarat are balanced team, they have some T-20 star player Like Pandya, Rashid,David Miller who can Change the match.waiting for exactly what happen in today match.

The match is being played on Eden Gardens and the team that wins the toss has a slight advantage due to the dew factor. Overall a score of 150 or more is good at this venue. GT has been the leader on the IPL point board and they have an upper edge because of their impeccable performance this season. For me favourite is Gujrat Titans but this is T20 prediction sometimes do not work at all.

My guess is that the outcome of today's match will largely depend on the toss. You said, 150 runs is a good enough collection for Eden Gardens. I think so too. But batsmen have to bat very carefully. They have to try to survive on the crease. At the same time, I think the team that gets the chance to bat first will have a better chance of winning.

At Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, the first playoff match of the series.
Gujarat Titans finished first in the points table with 20 points and qualified for the playoffs. In 14 games, they have 10 victories and four losses.
With 18 points from 9 wins and 5 losses, Rajasthan Royals finished second in the points table and qualified for the playoffs. RR tied LSG for 18 points, but had a greater net run rate, allowing them to finish in second place.
Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 37 runs in the single encounter between the two teams during the league.

Stats of Eden gardens – T20Is
Total Matches- 11
Matches won batting first – 5
Matches won bowling first – 6
Average 1st Inns scores- 155
Average 2nd Inns scores- 136

The team that wins the coin toss may choose to bowl first. Because the dew factor favours teams batting second. Eden Gardens is a high-scoring venue, so the side may opt to chase rather than preserve the lead.

[Sithara007]

Sanju Samson seems to be on fire. So far he has blasted 3 sixes and the Gujarat Titans bowlers appear to be clueless. Mohammed Shami has till now leaked 30 runs from his 3 overs, while Alzarri Joseph went for 13 from his lone over. Now it needs to be seen what Rashid Khan will be able to do for Gujarat. Samson vs Rashid battle will decide the outcome of this match. Rashid's economy rate for this season stands at less than 7 per over, and he has the capability to trouble both Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler.
