T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[WatChe]

Looking at the state of play so far, it seems that Kolkata Knight Riders will not be able to secure the victory in the match. Because the team has already lost 7 wickets. However, the bowlers of the opposing team have bowled brilliantly due to which Gujarat Titans have kept the match in their hands so far.

Game was very much over for KKH when Lyer got out. Nobody took responsibility after Lyer got out except Rinku Singh. I am unfortunate to miss the last over in which Yash Dayal gave away 31 runs, one single and 5 sixes. 41 runs were scored on last 10 balls of KKR innings. This is first lost for GT in this IPL and KKR are now at number 2nd position after this win. New talent from Indian domestic is giving good performance in this IPL.

[coinerer]

This win by KKR was unexpected. This team has been so much unpredictable after today. Considering it prediction a team that becomes unpredictable always wins the cup. Do you think KKR can win this year IPL?

I am really suprised to see them winning against a team that had the best target. If I consider that the team batting first would win then I would blame it on the bowlers. KKR still continued with three spinners in this game. Almost all of them tried to get them below 200. Considering the performance of KKR batters I think the bowlers were more incomppiten today.

Kolkata Knight Riders' victory was genuinely surprising and they are deserving of all the praise for putting on such an incredible performance. While it is simple to criticise the bowlers we should equally recognise KKR's outstanding batting performance. Every batsman helped the team win as they easily overcame a difficult target. This amazing victory was the result of a team effort. The three spinners in KKR's lineup also contributed to keeping the opposition's total within reach. Instead of praising individual performances, it's critical to acknowledge and appreciate the team's efforts as a whole. Bravo to KKR for a great victory.

Kolkata won the match due to luck.  Because Kolkata were given a target of 207 runs after batting first, Gujarat were under a lot of pressure but they started the game with confidence on themselves and eventually Gujarat managed to score 204 runs after playing the entire 20/7 overs.  Gujarat is 3 runs short of the target set by Kolkata.  And they lost the match by three wickets. Kolkata won the match today by just three runs.  It was their great fortune. Shankar played well enough for Gujarat.  And almost all the players played very well but D. Miller came to bat at the last moment though he played only three balls but he missed the ball and took only 2 runs.  If he had played a bit better and hit at least one four or six, they would have won the match

No idea, how you view the match as if Gujarat Titans was chasing the match  .

Since you are confused about how to understand the results of the match, let me rephrase to help you out  . Kolkata Knight Riders was chasing a target of 204 runs set by GT and Rinku Singh scored 5 sixes in the last over to take the team to an impossible victory. Never expected KKR to chase 29 runs needed in the last over .

What an amazing batting from the Kolkata Knight Riders team. Such situations in T20 matches can really give maximum joy to the audience. I remember when I watched a World Cup match of West Indies in 2016 where they played against England. There were 19 runs needed in the last over which seemed to be a difficult equation for everyone but Carlos Bathwaite made the equation quite easy. Finished the game with consecutive sixes off the last four balls. In today's match, Rinku Singh showed another terrible batting performance Kolkata Knight Riders.

I bet on Kolkata to win this match. But after the Gujarat team set a huge target of 205 runs, I was almost certain that Kolkata was going to lose this match. But to everyone's surprise, Kolkata won this match. It was an absolutely incredible win. At the end of 19 overs, Kolkata's total was only 176 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. No one could have guessed that Rinku would bat so violently in the last over. He hit 5 6 off 5 balls. He scored 48 runs off just 21 balls. Kolkata's comeback after the defeat in the first match is really commendable.

Punjab king vs sunrisere Hyderabad
Punjab Kings are playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Punjab Kings' batting is not going well as they have lost 5 wickets for 69 runs in 9.5 overs. It would be better for Punjab Kings to bowl first as they perform better in bowling, and the conditions are tough for batting. In terms of Punjab Kings' bowling, if they give a small target to Sunrisers, it will be challenging for them as Punjab Kings' bowling is tough. Live win probability suggests that Punjab Kings have a 20% chance of winning, while Sunrisers Hyderabad have an 80% chance. S. Khan had a 50% chance of winning if he stayed on the pitch, but now the match is in Dhawan's hands. If he stays until the end, Sunrisers can make a decent target, but it is unlikely as U. Malik's bowling looks strong. It doesn't seem like the new batsmen will get a chance to score runs against him.

What a class performance from Shikhar Dhawan. When the wicket started falling from one side he stood as a strong pillar till the last ball and missed his century by a run. Really unlucky guy, but his performance is classy and sure this will bring him win in today's match. 143 runs isn't a big target, but with the bowling squad Punjab Kings can atleast try their best. At one point it looked like Punjab Kings will end the innings within 90 runs. Considering that situation what Punjab Kings have set as target is really big.

Shikhar Dhawan's responsible performance gave Punjab Kings a target of 144 runs. Shikhar Dhawan's collection was 99 runs out of 143 runs. He was unbeaten on 99 off just 66 balls. The way Punjab started batting I thought they would lose all the wickets before 100. 143 runs maybe not be enough collection for maybe. But it's a good enough collection to contend with. The pitch is not completely batting-friendly. If Punjab's bowlers are able to perform well, they have a chance to win. The result depends on Punjab's bowlers.
Hyderabad collected 29 runs in 5 overs. But they lost the wicket of Harry Brook. Hyderabad batsmen are batting very carefully.

Shekhar Dhawan is one of the best batsmen of Indian national team. It is very foolish to think that he will not perform well in a league like IPL. Shekhar Dhawan has a special role behind the Indian national team winning many big matches.

It is always nice to see Chennai Super Kings winning matches. Their performance shows how important captaincy is in T20 cricket. Bowling first, they were able to restrict a very strong team like Mumbai Indians to 157/8. The spin duo of Mitchell Santner and Ravindra Jadeja once again did a great job, and shared 5 wickets between them. I am not surprised with Jadeja, but the exceptional performance from Santner so far was unexpected. And for the Mumbai Indians, Cameron Green hasn't clicked in a way they want him to be. So far he has scored just 17 runs and picked up 1 wicket.

Very right - Cheenai super king did an amazing performance - Captaincy is important in every match be it t20 or any other match.
Jadeja never ceases to impress by his exceptional performance.

Great and congratulations for winning your bet. Kolkata really played well enough.  It is very rare to be given a target of 200 plus runs in a T20 match and to surpass that target.  Because to score 200+ runs in T20 matches, must have to keep good run rate in every over which is very difficult for every teams. In this match both the teams had a very good performance and it was a tough fight. Every match in the Indian Premier League is getting pretty good

Despite Shikhar Dhawan's great effort Sunrisers Hyderabad had a bit difficult 144 run target set by PBKS. Punjab Kings were able to put up a respectable total to defend despite a sluggish start. The bowlers will be extremely important in determining how the game turns out because the pitch is difficult for batting. The Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other side scored 97 runs in 14 overs and just require 45 runs to win in 35 balls. It appears they can win this match easily given how they have been playing and the aim in sight. Although the match is still in doubt the conclusion will be thrilling.

Rinku freaking Singh! Wow! Just wow! These kind of matches are what make the IPL truly special. I knew KKR would be in trouble once Rana and Iyer would fall and that's exactly what happened though I didn't expect Rashid to dismiss 3 power hitters successively.

40 runs in 7 balls is absolutely insane and Rinku will always be remembered for his calm approach just like Tewatia etc.

Before hitting the sixes Rinku was at 18 runs from 16 balls. Even I was murmuring what is he doing, atleast he could've tried to bring the match closer. All of the sudden he had built power and started smashing all around. It is really great thing, because it is the last over. The bowler and batsman both were in pressure. Mistake from the bowler will favour batsman and the same happened, and within two balls he gained confidence and stood strong to reach the target.

Vijay Shankar have scored 64* runs from 24 balls, which is higher than Rinku's strike rate. Here the situation matters, Vijay Shankar too played big shots in the final overs, but there is difference between batting first and chasing the target.

KKR had no business winning that match. This was certainly a jaw-dropping performance from Rinku. Of course, this was a great win for them. But I want to point out something. In this match, KKR got away with bad bowling because they had a genuine match-winning inning from a player. But that is not going to probably happen every day. They will have to Perform better in bowling.

Also, in the batting, they did not do something great in my opinion. I am talking about the team effort. If they could do better, they wouldn’t have had to face the situation at all.

It was an unexpected match from Kolkata Knight Riders. 28 runs were needed in the last over which no one ever imagined that KKR will win the match. However, it is not usual to collect such a big score from the Kolkata bowlers. Gujarat Titans' Vijay Shankar had a remarkable innings but Kolkata Knight Riders turned the equation around in a surprise win. However, despite winning today's match, many of their fans could not keep confidence in their bowling action.

How would people have confidence in the bowling of KKR? Of course, it is going to be hard to trust KKR with bowling because they have just conceded more than 200 in a T20 match. Now it is true that they were able to chase it down by a dramatic style in the last over.

But that doesn’t change the fact that before the 40th over that was bold in this match, KKR were absolutely out of the match. They should remember that these type of miracles are not going to happen very often. So they will have to perform as a team.

What is your this statement I am trying to understand because they have done decent job and now won back to back two matches one against RCB and now against defending champions GT even this was miracle but still they are doing impressive job and have enough chance for staying into top four now conceding 200+ in a match is usual thing specially while you are playing in subcontinent because here mostly we have batting pitches which are giving handy advantage to batsmen.

No doubt I am still shocked about their win because while they were batting I was 100% sure they will lose match, but last five miraculous balls give them win and turn the tables into their favor even I agreed this not happen regularly but still a moral booster for them and can motivate them for better results in future as well.

I was sure that Gujarat Titans will definitely win because they put up a good performance in batting but scored a lot of runs. But Kolkata Knight Riders beat Gujarat in an impossible way that I never imagined. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) didn't perform very well in the beginning of the match when they entered the field in terms of batting but they showed a very good performance in the middle of the game where they scored a lot of runs during the fast bowling. This is where the victory of Kolkata Knight Riders has come. Seeing their great victory has captured a lot of space in the minds of the cricket audience.

KKR failed in their initial performance but they did well later in the match.

Despite Shikhar Dhawan's great effort Sunrisers Hyderabad had a bit difficult 144 run target set by PBKS. Punjab Kings were able to put up a respectable total to defend despite a sluggish start. The bowlers will be extremely important in determining how the game turns out because the pitch is difficult for batting. The Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other side scored 97 runs in 14 overs and just require 45 runs to win in 35 balls. It appears they can win this match easily given how they have been playing and the aim in sight. Although the match is still in doubt the conclusion will be thrilling.

It was only Shikhar Dhawan from Punjab Kings side who scored 99 runs, there is no contribution from rest of the team. That's why  Punjab Kings were able to give a small target of 143 runs which can be chased easily by any team. Sunrisers Hyderabad were happy to have first victory of this tournament after 2 consecutive losses. Mayank Markande picked 4 wikcets and in batting side SRH batsmen never allowed PBKS bowlers to settle down. In the end a comfortable win for SRH.
