T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Haunebu]

F&ck why are these guys keep producing the last ball finish? Are they trying to give a heart attack to punters and fans or what?  

This is ridiculous! Absolutely loving it adrenaline rush towards the end. This edition produced some crackers in the initial phase, normally these sorts of close matches come in the later part of the tournament.

Agreed. So many exciting matches one after the other. Heard that CSK vs RR achieved a crazy viewership record which makes sense since MSD and Jadeja were very entertaining towards the end.

That last ball would have definitely gone for a six, but SS nailed the yorker luckily due to which RR barely won.

The slow start from both Ravindra Jadeja and Mahendra Singh Dhoni probably cost them the match. They should have shown a bit more urgency. Dhoni and Jadeja waited till the very end, and by that time the advantage was with Rajasthan.

Dumbest statements ever. They literally took them from 113/6 to 172/6 and almost won. The ones that actually should be blamed are Dube, Rayudu etc who wasted balls which increased the pressure on their team.

CSK were in a good position in the match when CSK managed to post a score of 76 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 9 overs. Rahane was left lbw in the 10th over and Shivam Dube had to return in the 12th over as well, neither of them could survive by Ashwin attract. This is how wickets keep falling. If we look at the last over, CSK needed 20 runs but they collected 17. They went to a close win but lost by just 3 runs. If CSK get a boundary from the 4th and 5th ball of the 20th over, the match could have been easily won.

40 runs were needed from the last 12 balls and in the end Chennai Super Kings lost by 3 runs. The slow start from both Ravindra Jadeja and Mahendra Singh Dhoni probably cost them the match. They should have shown a bit more urgency. Dhoni and Jadeja waited till the very end, and by that time the advantage was with Rajasthan. And all credit to Sandeep Sharma. He conceded two sixes (second and third balls), but then came back strongly. 7 runs were needed from 3 balls and CSK could manage only three singles.

A good match between RR and CSK  the target was a good one not difficult to chase but chennai super kings couldn't chase it due to RR balling  . They lost at the last minute due to weakness in their batting.

A seasoned veteran duo of Dhoni and Jadeja almost steal the show but sadly last three balls give them shocking defeat which is still an amazing batting skills by these two in difficult conditions while one they were completely out of the game, but again these two guys bring back and having amazing end of this match which was looking bore at once stage as @Sithara007 already mention 40 runs from 12 balls is never been easy task but these two hits four sixes which completely change the momentum of this match, but Sharma's yorkers gave them good win, and now they are having 3 wins from their 4 matches which are giving them top rank in current league table after 17 matches.

Chennai was completely in control of the match till the 9th over. But then slowly Chennai began to fall behind. And the 9-14th over, Chennai's collection was only 27 runs in 5 overs. And because of this poor performance in 5 overs, Chennai lost the match. Chennai needed 20 runs in the last over. And under such pressure, it is very difficult to score 20 runs in the last over. Chennai scored 36 runs in the last 2 overs. Even then they can't win. I would say Chennai didn't have good luck so they lost.

I will say Chennai team will lose this match because of their bad luck. Chennai managed to score 172 runs but after they had 4 more wickets in hand they could not score only 3 runs. They ran out of overs before they could score 3 runs. I would say a hard fought match.  Later, Rajasthan Royals won. If Rajasthan Royals had scored more runs, they would not have been under so much pressure. Rajasthan Royals were under a lot of pressure.

Did anyone noticed that David Warner is now the second highest run-scorer of this season? He has 209 runs to his name, second only to Shikhar Dhawan. But he has been under a lot of fire, due to his very low strike rate (114.83). But IMO Delhi Capitals would have done a lot worse without him. Apart from Warner, the next highest scorer for DC has been Axar, who has just 108 runs to his name. None of the other DC batsmen has got even 50 runs to their name from the 4 completed matches. Still it is Warner who is being criticized.

This tournament is very much over for DC, they were 5th in last IPL but yet to win a game in there 5 appearances. Warner scored 51 runs on 47 balls in last game and 65 runs on 55 balls in game against RR. I am sure his stats will be similar in other two games also, the point is despite his slow run rate he is the only one who is scoring runs. Apart from him there is one or two players who scores more then 20 to 30 runs. DC have placed responsibility of batting on Warner alone.

CSK can draw some positives from the match despite the narrow defeat. Thanks to some strong batting they were in a good position after the first nine overs with a score of 76 for one wicket. Furthermore, their bowlers did a respectable job of keeping the opposition score within reach. In the last over CSK also displayed tenacity by scoring 17 runs instead of the necessary 20 which was admirable. CSK can definitely recover and triumph in their next encounter with a few adjustments and a little bit more good fortune.

He is under severe criticism, from left, right and center. But strangely, none of the critics are complaining about the Indian players in Delhi Capitals, who have so far failed to score runs. Warner did what he could. He was playing against quality bowling attacks and with some support from the other players, he could have stepped up the scoring rate. Now he is under pressure and in the next match he will try to attack from the very beginning. And then the same story will repeat and Delhi Capitals will be in big trouble. Anyway, they still have 10 matches remaining in this season.

We all know that T20 cricket is a format where the batting side needs to do a lot better every time. And DC is not certainly doing that. They are somehow getting to a total that is almost never going to be enough. Warner is not being able to have a good strike rate and I really think a big reason for that is the other players not being able to stay in the middle for a longer period of time. So he has to make sure that they don’t lose quick wickets. And trying to do that, he is not being able to score freely. But I absolutely agree, at least he is scoring, unlike the others.

[Vaskiy]

The match is in completely in favour of Chennai Super Kings. Gaikwad failed to perform, but the opening went good with the scoring from Conway and Rahane. The middle order is complete disappointment as Dube, Moeen Ali and Rayudu failed to contribute at the required time. This had increased the pressure among the players and finally Dhoni and Jadeja gave the try. Finally good match to watch and lucky day for the supporters of Rajasthan Royals.

David Warner is one of the most under-rated players in the IPL. He played IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad for many seasons, before being kicked out of the team due to some spat with Kane Williamson. But that doesn't take away the fact that he is one of the all-time top run-scorers in this tournament. He is at no.4 position right now, with 5668 runs from 155 matches. He is behind Kohli, Dhawan and Rohit, but his batting average (41.99) is much higher than any of these three (Rohit's average is just 30.66). Warner's strike rate (140.58) is also higher than either of the other three.

There are Moeen Ali and some other good batsmen who did not score good runs in batting. But in this match Chennai Super Kings had a big chance to win. They did not use it. In the match Moeen Ali got out for 7 runs in 10 balls. If Moeen Ali is like 30 runs  If he could have done it then Chennai Super Kings could have easily won the match. But none of the batsmen of Chennai Super Kings could bat well.

Moeen Ali was one of the prized buys for Chennai Super Kings in this season and he is contracted at ₹80,000,000 per year (equivalent to $975,000). But so far, his performance has been rather mild. CSK has suffered from the unavailability of several of their star overseas players. Ben Stokes was their most expensive player for this season, and he is unlikely to play any matches for them this time around. Kyle Jamieson was another crucial player, and he has also pulled out of this season's IPL (not surprising, given his auction amount was just ₹10,000,000).

This is ridiculous! Absolutely loving it adrenaline rush towards the end. This edition produced some crackers in the initial phase, normally these sorts of close matches come in the later part of the tournament.

They have made a habit of ending the match in the last bowl. Predicting an outcome of a match is now next to impossible. The best adrenaline rush that I got was when I saw Rinku Singh destroying GT. If we are getting so excited watching the match on Television just imagine how much the stadium crowd is enjoying. Saw a few writing on a different thread that this time the excitement is missing in IPL. LOL! They might have read that now it is every game everyday.

If Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali weren't slow, Chennai Super Kings could have had an easy win. Moeen Ali can bat quite responsibly. But they complicated yesterday's match. Taking 20 runs in the last over is a tough task but as they almost did it but their luck didn't favor. Ravindra Jadeja and captain MS Dhoni could not save the match at the end. They try but didn't play the last two balls accordingly. As a result they were defeated. They had wickets in hand in the first 10 overs but the fall of wickets in the next 10 overs dragged the match.

Those who say there is no excitement in this year's IPL may not watch the game well. The most excitement I can see in this IPL.
The match between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders will be the most exciting match of IPL this year. Not only the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans but also the match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians has been a very exciting match. Where the fans of the two teams including the players of the two teams had to wait till the last ball to win. Two runs needed off one ball If the fielder had bowled well it might have been Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals and the match would have been a draw. 

The last match the match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, both teams had to wait till the last ball to win. 40 runs were required in the last two overs with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja at the wicket.  But they came very close to victory. And they lost by 3 runs in the last ball. So watching these matches shows how exciting the IPL 2023 season is for us.

Last night's match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, captain MS Dhoni, was punishing hard against the Royals. However, despite his incredible efforts, he couldn't manage to secure a win for his team. It was pure bad luck that they didn't play the last two balls according to plan. It would have been more justifiable if Dhoni had batted at no. 5/6 position. This would have given him more time to settle in and face more deliveries. Nevertheless, this match was thrilling to watch. This season has been outstanding so far, and this week, especially has been a roller-coaster ride for fans.

Chennai's bowlers performed well in this match but due to the poor performance of their batsmen, Chennai lost. After the loss in the first match, Chennai's overall performance in the next two matches was very strong. So I bet on Chennai to win this match. But Chennai could not win against Rajasthan. They were defeated by just 3 runs. Chennai would not have lost this match if Moeen Ali and Shivam Dube and Rayudu could have performed a bit better. A poor performance by the middle order led to Chennai's defeat. They have to perform more carefully in the upcoming matches.

Ambani the mota bhai must be loving all the action. Last night 2.1 crore live viewers were tuned in on the JIO app, the highest in this season. Paisa hi Paisa meme for Mota bhai.

The craze for IPL only increasing day by day. JIO is making a killing despite making IPL free to watch. Tickets are not available easily, lower tier tickets (700 INR) are going in the black market for over 5k INR, and so on.

Chennai Super Kings had plenty of room for victory in yesterday's match against Rajasthan. Because the run rate was very low but the number of wickets fell was high for Chennai Super Kings. Past matches with Chennai have been against teams with Chennai Super Kings winning despite scoring more runs. But Chennai Kings were under a lot of pressure with Rajasthan Royals because Rajasthan Royals is a very strong team in terms of telling. Due to which Chennai Super Kings could not win despite having a small run target. Especially Dhani could have done a lot for the team if he had come to the number three batting place.
