T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[S A KHAIR]

Punjab Kings have been performing very well since the Power Play so far against Rajasthan. Shikhar Dewan has the most role in today's match. Because most of the skill in the match is holding the full role and because of that the number of wicket pressure is very less for the Punjab Kings team. He gave the team 66 runs for his side and has remained unknown so far though late in the match. But if Punjab Kings can collect 220 runs, there is a possibility of winning today's match. If Punjab Kings can win today's match, then they will definitely be on the second level of the points table and will have 4 points.

With the help of excellent innings by the two openers, Punjab Kings managed to set a target of 198 runs. Punjab lost their first wicket by 90 runs and their second wicket by 158 runs. Prabhsimran Singh scored 60 off just 34 balls and Shikhar Dhawan remained unbeaten on 86 off 56 balls. The batsmen played well enough. However, to win this match, the bowlers must perform well. Because Rajasthan's batting line-up is strong. They scored 203 runs against Hyderabad in the first match. So if Punjab's bowlers don't perform well today, they won't win.

After outstanding efforts from Prabhsimran Singh and Shikhar Dhawan the batters for the Punjab Kings did a great job of establishing a difficult target of 198 runs. Although the bowlers will face a challenging challenge they have the chance to stand up and have an impact on the match. They could be able to protect their total and earn a well earned victory if they bowl well. Punjab Kings can defeat Rajasthan Royals formidable batting lineup and win this thrilling match with the right strategy and execution.

Like the Punjab batsmen, the Punjab bowlers got off to a good start today. Rajasthan collected 39 runs in 4 overs. But they lost the wickets of Jaiswal and Ashwin. While Jaiswal managed to score 11 runs, Ashwin failed to score any runs off 4 balls. Buttler and Samson are now at the crease. If the wickets of these two batsmen can be taken quickly by the bowlers of Punjab, then their victory is almost certain. Then Rajasthan has some great batsmen in their squad like Padikkal and Hetmyre. Still, I think Punjab will win if Buttler and Samson don't play well today.

Buttler did not play well today. He got out after collecting 19 runs off 11 balls. I expected big innings from Buttler in such an important match. But Sanju Samson is batting very well. But this match cannot be won by relying on one person's batting alone. If Devdutt Padikkal can perform well along with Sanju Samson then Rajasthan Royals have some chance of winning. Rajasthan managed to collect 81 runs in 9 overs. They need 117 runs to win in 66 balls. Rajasthan Royals need to score around 11 runs per over to win. The match is still under Punjab's control.

Punjab royally screwed me over. I was pretty confident that RR would win at the end when Curran came to bowl, but he proved my wrong by bowling a fantastic final over under immense pressure.

Hetmyer and Jurel almost made sure that their side won, but Curran didn't really give them any big chances. Very entertaining match overall!

RR sent Ravichandran Ashwin as their opener when they have Devdutt Padikkal who is an established opener in the IPL and he is struggling in the middle order and since he was struggling it put pressure on Sanju Samson and in the end lost his wicket going for a big hit. Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel took the game close but Punjab Kings were able to defend the total and won two matches in a row.

In Rajasthan Royals batting everything was perfect apart from opener Ravichandran Ashwin who was out on zero, all other batsmen were able to reach to double figures. This is Punjab Kings 2nd win and Rajasthan Royals first defeat in the tournament. Prabhsimran Singh is having a good time at IPL, scored 23 runs on 12 balls in last game against Kolkata Knight Riders and now today he scored 60 runs on 34 balls. Its batting of Punjab that clicked in both matches, bowlers get the confidence if they are defending 190+.

Many punters got screwed tonight. The royals were clearly the favorite and strong team, on a good batting track they even restricted Punjab under 200.

Kinda feel bad for Devdutt Padikkal, he's an excellent young talent as an opener but can't get a slot in the RR's top 3 and struggling badly in the middle order.

2 young guys Prabhsimran Singh and Dhruv Jurel came out of the syllabus, as far as spectators were concerned, entertaining stuff from these guys.

In both the matches Punjab Kings have scored 190+ runs which gives good space for the bowlers to perform. In any T20 format cricket match it is really difficult for the bowlers to give their best with low scoring from the batsmen. More the target, higher will be the confidence of the bowlers. In today's match small mistakes costs big for Rajasthan Royals.

To their credit, Sri Lanka managed to win the first match in the series and therefore the series is tied at 1-1 right now. The first match was very tight (decided in super over), but the second one (which New Zealand won) was completely one-sided. By the way, did any one noticed the new South African import in the New Zealand lineup? Chad Bowes moved to New Zealand from South Africa a few years back and yesterday he made a quickfire 31 for his adopted nation. The current New Zealand squad has another South African as well (Glenn Philips).

Sri Lanka's performance in the first match surprised everyone. Sri Lanka batsmen are not experienced enough. Still, they batted brilliantly and scored 196 runs. But in the second match, we got the expected performance from Sri Lanka. They collected only 141 runs. And they were badly defeated. I think we will see similar results in the third match. In the third match, we will see the dominance of New Zealand players. And New Zealand will win the series.

Yeah.. this feature is a very good addition to this year's IPL. And during yesterday's match, both the substitutions made a big impact on the game. Delhi Capitals decided to replace Sarfaraz Khan with Khaleel Ahmed. It worked well for them, as he picked the wicket of Hardik Pandya.  On the other hand, Gujarat Titans replaced Josh Little with Vijay Shankar. And the latter played a very crucial role, by making a knock of 29 runs from 23 balls. By the time he got out in the 13th over, Titans were very close to the target.

If I am not wrong then this feature was introduced by ICC in ODI 10 (or may be more) years where there is 12 men playing team and you can make substitution with 12th player. It didn't worked in ODI but its now introduced in T20 by IPL. So there are chances that ICC might reconsider introducing it into T20I.

Yeah, BCCI is registered as a charitable organization, hence no direct taxes on its income. @Sithara007 also mentioned a few things about indirect taxes (GST, sales etc), which are already quite big.

Also, Government and BCCI regularly clash over tax issue and fights cases all the time, the real power lies in the hands of the Courts. For example, a couple of years back BCCI won a case regarding IPL income but at the same time, they lost another case ((ICC tournament revenue, it's a different drama) against the Government and they have to pay close to 800 cr to 1200 cr INR in taxes.

Thats right even if BCCI is not giving anything directly to Government even there government is getting lots of business from other means. Like the hotel industry must have gone high due to IPL matches as Players and People not only domestic but from all around the world come to participate and see the IPL

Chad Bowes have earlier captained the U-19 South Africa team. In the ODI series against Sri Lanka he had debut his ODI career for New Zealand and now he have got the opportunity to debut in T20. Glenn Phillips have born in South Africa, but he hadn't played for South Africa. He moved to New Zealand and played for the New Zealand U-19 team. He started playing for New Zealand almost 6 years back and now Chad have got added to the squad.

Royal Challengers Bangalore  VS  Kolkata Knight Riders

Royal Challengers Bangalore will play the only match of the day against Kolkata Knight Riders. As Kolkata performed in their first match against Punjab Kings, the team does not seem strong enough. Kolkata managed to collect only 146 runs in 20 overs against the target of 192 runs given by Punjab. Compared to other teams, I think this Kolkata team is relatively weak.

Bengaluru's performance against Mumbai Indians in the first match was excellent. Mumbai set a target of 172 runs. Bengaluru reached the target of victory in 16.2 overs losing only 2 wickets. Bengaluru's batting order is very strong. The Bengaluru team is my favorite against Kolkata today. I will bet on Bangalore to win today. Which team do you like today?

Although though performance of Sri Lanka in the second match wasn't as good it is crucial to keep in mind that every game is unique and they still have a chance to improve in the third encounter. While Sri Lanka did demonstrate their capacity to compete at a high level in the first game it is true that New Zealand has a formidable team. They could shock everyone once more and win the third match if they adopt the proper strategy and maintain their focus. Let's maintain our hope and wait and see what transpires on match day.

Viewers and audience are enjoying the most in this session of IPL 2023 with great enthusiasm and excitement. Today there is a great match where Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore will fight. Kolkata Knight Riders also have a good winning history at home. The Kolkata venue has slightly higher winning figures in chasing. The team that wins the toss can decide to bowl. Both teams have fairly aggressive Batmans today. However, for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mohammed Siraj will try to put on a good performance as a bowler. I also consider Royal Challengers Bangalore as favorites for today's match.

In T20I sirlanka can surprise with their performance  so you can never predict how they are going to play in their 3rd match .
Chances of winning for Newzealand and Sirlanka are 50 50 and any of the team can win because of their experience in t20 format.

It could be very much Bangalore vs Andre Russell as he has a tremendous record against RCB and basically, he goes into god mode when playing against them.

Skipper Nitish Rana needs to step up and must avoid many mistakes. RCB is the favorite but in case KKR's batting clicks tonight then we are looking at a potential tight match.

[Popkon6]

Kolkata Knight Riders have lost more wickets since the start of the game. Kolkata are under a lot of pressure with the loss of three wickets, the team is under a lot of pressure. Gurbaz half-century has played the most role in the current game as he is the only batsman to have entered the field so far. 77 runs in 9 overs, losing 3 wickets, Kolkata Knight Riders are moving ahead, but Gurbaz number of runs is 53. Therefore, Gurbaz's role is the most sustained in the current game in terms of wickets.

Kolkata is performing as they did in their first match. Can't play well. Especially you mentioned Andre Russell, he didn't score any runs. On the first ball, he gave a catch to Kohli and returned to the dressing room. Kolkata collected 94 runs in 12 overs. Kolkata is not batting well. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 57 runs off 44 balls. Bangalore's bowlers are bowling well but their bowling is not controlled. They gave 16 extra runs in 12 overs. This is too much. Had they been able to do some controlled bowling, they could have stopped the Kolkata team within 160 today.

In 12 overs Kolkata's collection was just 94 and lost 5 wickets. This team collected 204 runs in 20 overs. They scored 110 runs in the last 8 overs. It's amazing. Shardul Thakur and Rinku Singh's performances captivated everyone. Shardul Thakur scored 68 runs off 29 balls and Rinku scored 46 runs off 33 balls. You are right that Bengaluru bowlers are out of control today. They conceded 23 runs in 20 overs.
However, the Kolkata team provided a huge target. But Bengaluru's batting order has some outstanding batsmen like Kohli, du Plessis, Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik. Despite giving away a big target, Kolkata has a chance to lose the match. As I am betting on Bengaluru to win, I will expect Bengaluru to win.

[Sorryfor]

Kolkata Knight Riders have lost more wickets since the start of the game. Kolkata are under a lot of pressure with the loss of three wickets, the team is under a lot of pressure. Gurbaz half-century has played the most role in the current game as he is the only batsman to have entered the field so far. 77 runs in 9 overs, losing 3 wickets, Kolkata Knight Riders are moving ahead, but Gurbaz number of runs is 53. Therefore, Gurbaz's role is the most sustained in the current game in terms of wickets.

The way Kolkata Knight Riders lost wickets in the early stages, it seemed that they would not be able to score much in today's match. Because they are under a lot of pressure by losing wickets but currently Kolkata Knight Riders have collected 204 runs. Shardul Thakur's batting performance was very good due to which the runs increased greatly. Otherwise, the way the wickets were falling, Kolkata Knight Riders seemed unlikely to score 150 runs in today's match. But a few players have improved their performance in batting and have taken the run much further. Kolkata Knight Riders are currently 204 runs for 7 wickets.
