T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Mr.corol]

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.

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

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.

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.

Kolkata really put up a great batting performance yesterday. I never imagined that Kolkata would win today. Rinku Singh has batted brilliantly. He scored 48 runs off 21 balls. Kolkata needed 29 runs in the last over. Rinku Singh hit ৫ sixes in 5 consecutive balls. I was fascinated by Rinku Singh's batting yesterday.

[Sithara007]

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.

Out of a total of 143/9, Shikhar Dhawan made 99 not out and 6 runs came from extras. All the remaining batsmen made a grand total of 38 runs from 55 balls. Sam Curran was the only other player to get to double digits, as he made 22 from 15 balls. Others made 16 runs from 40 balls, which will be considered as slow even in test cricket. And this time it was Mayank Markande who destroyed them with a spell of 4-0-15-4. And in return Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't had to toil too hard. They won relatively easily, thanks to Rahul Tripathi and the captain Aiden Markram.

Those who missed the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans yesterday missed one of the best jackpot matches of IPL. A match like this is not often seen. Rashid Khan's hat-trick in one innings and Rinku Singh's five sixes in the last 5 balls was really amazing yesterday's match.

In the first innings, Gujarat Titans managed to collect 204 runs for four wickets in 20 overs. The target for Kolkata Knight Riders is 205 runs. Everything was going well but in the 17th over, Rashid Khan picked up three wickets in the first three balls to take the first hat-trick of 2023 in IPL.
Kolkata managed to collect only 17 runs in the next 12 balls.  And in the last over Kolkata Knight Riders need 29 runs to win 6 balls. That means 4.8 runs per ball. Umesh Yadav was on strike in the 20th over. Umesh Yadav took a single off the first ball and then Rinku Singh showed his excellent innings.

Rinku Singh hit three sixes in the first three balls after the first three balls were fulls. Needing 10 runs off the next two balls but hitting two sixes off the next two balls, Kolkata Knight Riders pulled off a surprising three-wicket win. Rinku Singh 48(21) who played the most important role in the team's victory was chosen as the man of the match.

T20 is unpredictable! Who elase expected GT to win comfortably against KKR? I confess, I expected them to win comfortably after seeing 204 as a target for KKR.

No one expected Rinku Singh to hit consecutive sixes in the last over and get his team a victory that I am sure GT never thought about. I mean in the end you should have watched the face of Rashid Khan. This is what is called a nail biting match.

PBKS displayed one of the worst batting yesterday. In the end the responsibility to get a decent score came on the shoulder of its captain. Shikhar Dhavan contribution cannot be ignored as he scored the maximum runs on behalf of PBKS.

They won relatively easily, thanks to Rahul Tripathi and the captain Aiden Markram.

Imagine condition of Punjab Kings if Shikhar Dhawan also got out on 20 or 30. Mayank Markande has played only one T20I from India side and he has top bowling figures in yesterday game.
One thing I realized in IPL is that there are franchise that have invested lots of money during players auction and bought good players. While there are also franchise that are limited in budget and that's the prime reason why they have weak teams. So performance of every team is also linked with how much money franchise owner has invested at the time of player auction.

A few days have passed since the start of the Indian Premier League. Some of these we have seen amazing matches like tomorrow's match between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders. Hopefully this time in IPL we will see more great competitive matches and be encouraged to watch more cricket games.

[Litzki1990]

Rajasthan Royals(RR): 3 match=  4 Point

Rajasthan Royals have made a great team in terms of batting, bowling and all-rounders. Every player in the team is performing well in their respective positions. From the opening to the lower order, everyone's performance is commendable. 

The team that Rajasthan Royals have made for IPL 2023 is undoubtedly the biggest contender to win the IPL trophy.  Rajasthan Royals are not only a good team on the books but they have already proved their worth on the field. Rajasthan Royals will be one of the contenders for the IPL 2023 trophy if they perform consistently.

A few days have passed since the start of the Indian Premier League. Some of these we have seen amazing matches like tomorrow's match between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders. Hopefully this time in IPL we will see more great competitive matches and be encouraged to watch more cricket games.

IPL is the biggest and most crowded event of the domestic league. These IPL cricket lovers witness wonderful events.  IPL is so popular because of such wonderful events. Cricket lovers witnessed another wonderful incident in the second innings of the match between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders yesterday. Cricket lovers have witnessed the excellent innings of winning the match by hitting five sixes in the last five balls with a hat-trick in one innings. Hopefully, more good things are waiting for us in the upcoming matches.

It's not unusual. Because large money you spend on team you will usually be able to recruit good players. And those who are relatively weak financially will try to create a reliable team like them. But can you achieve the crown of the final by spending more money? is there any guarantee? Of course not. In that case, the weak franchisees also try to win that transient through some potential players. In that case, the cost of their money will also be reduced. There is a lot of evidence in all these tournaments where rich franchise team cannot survive for the final.

It all depends on how the players were selected by the selection committee during the auction. As mentioned, there are proven facts that franchise in which big money being spend haven't won a match yet. Everything corresponds to the performance of the players once they're selected by specific franchise.

Just think of the two players who turned the Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders match. Both Rinku Singh and Yash Dayal had the same base price of ₹20 lakh, and Rinku Singh got sold for ₹55 lakh whereas Yash Dayal got sold to ₹3.20 crore. The same doesn't mean one is better and the other is bad. It is all about the situation and how players manage the situation and move the match towards win.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings match played yesterday was a very good game.Punjab Kings came to bat first in this match.But they gave a very small target in 20 overs.I thought Punjab Kings might give a target of 160 runs.  But Punjab Kings couldn't make more than 143 runs. In this match, Sunrisers Hyderabad's Bale Markande took 4 wickets with 15 runs in 4 overs.

This match is not very concentrated. Both the teams played almost evenly, but PBKS team managed to set a very low run target which created a great opportunity for the opposition team to win the match easily. I think any team to do well in IPL needs to score more than 220 runs.

We all have know the association of cricketers with Bollywood actress. But our KKR star Rinku Singh has gone beyond Bollywood and Hollywood. After his outstanding batting against the GT, he has now found a famous female fan that no one in the Indian cricket fraternity might have ever expected.

Kendra Lust, we all know who she is and which industry she belongs to has shown her appreciation by tweeting about Rinku Singh. She didncapture KKR too. This is the link to her tweet. Rinku Singh has been trending on Twitter after her tweet. You need to read the replies on thar tweet. Some of them are way to much hilarious.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru VS Lucknow Super Giants

I am very excited about today's match between Bengaluru vs LSG. This match is expected to be very competitive. Because both teams are in very good form. Despite the unfortunate loss against Chennai, the LSG team won easily against Hyderabad and Delhi. Their performance was very good.
On the other hand, Bengaluru's performance is not stable. But their squad is very strong. They have several world-class batsmen in their squad. My prediction for this match is that both teams will be able to score more than 180. And I am willing to bet on Bengaluru to win.

I think there was nothing noticeable in that match. But Dhawan had a good innings in that match. He made an important contribution to the team's disaster. Otherwise his team would have had the lowest score. His 99 off 66 balls in that match inspired the crowd. But his luck did not favor him either. He didn't even get a century for just 1 run. When the target is less in the match, the strength of the opposing team increases manifold. That's what happened in yesterday's match. Except for Dhawan and Sam Curran, everyone performed poorly. For which their defeat was inevitable.

Hahahas someone has to remind KL that he is playing IPL. Coming to Vijay Shankar, he and Stuart Binny have always been considered two biggest chokers of IPL, they do play every year in some team or the other but don't make any impact, even on the national level. But this innings from him was remarkable. Even though he is far away from a national team selection, this innings looks absolutely excellent from him.

To me, both Vijay Shankar and Stuart Binny are just club-level cricketers at best, to sum up, their few exciting innings I'd say even broken clocks are right twice a day.

Only 1 thing is consistent, our own depressing KL Rahul. He never disappoints  

Adding 3 more guys to your list:

• Rohit uncle
• Chotu Prithvi Shaw
• Sanju the big Samson

I agree Prithvi Shaw didn't perform in this season so far but he was in terrific form and historically performed quite well in the IPL with a nice SR.

In the T-20 format Rohit's form is not surprising to me anymore. IMO his days are numbered in T-20.

Match has gained much expectation as it is played in home ground. Already Royal Challengers have got good fanbase, now the match being played in home ground have increased the expectation on the RCB team. Both the teams are almost equally strong which we can understand from the odds for both the teams which is 1.90 for RCB and 1.86 for LSG.

The team that performed well against Mumbai Indians disappointed in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. On the other side LSG have won against Delhi Capitals and SRH. Lost against CSK, so this match is going to be close and changes can happen at the last five overs of the match.

Well Dhawan produced a great innings and motivated the audience. Despite the fact that he fell one run short of a century his contribution to the team's total cannot be understated. The fact that Sam Curran performed effectively during the match is also praiseworthy. Despite the team's subpar overall performance it is crucial to recognise the contributions made by each player and the beneficial effects they had on the match. There will always be ups and downs because it's all just part of the match. The squad can use this experience to improve going into the next match.

Jesus! Kohli's cover drive and wristy sixes over deep mid-wicket could give a boner to any traditional or fast-paced cricket (T-20) fan.

He looks so arrogant in a weirdly good way when he strikes like that, and we see this consistently as far as limited over cricket is concerned. Hope he goes into god mode level when WC comes, fingers crossed.

A good start but royal Challengers virat and Faf du Plessis at 8 overs they have already made 70 runs with all wickets intact .
Virat Kohli almost scoring his half century this is some smashing batting by RCB.
On other hand Lucknow Super Giants are failing to take any wicket and control runrate.
