T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Rabata]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like you i was optimistic about Chennai Super Kings as a big fan of this team but regret that at the end they didn't win. I was optimistic till the last over of the match. I had the chance to cash out my bet but i was confident i could win. finally i had to lose. I have vowed in my heart to support this team and bet on them in the upcoming matches as well. Even if they lose, I will support them. Victory will come to me. I don't know it would be right decision for me to consistently bet on any particular team but I believe they will win especially Dhoni's intellectual intelligence will bring the victory.

Gujrat Titans - Punjab Kings

Today's match between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings is expected to be very competitive. Both these teams won their first two matches and lost their last match. And so today both the teams will want to win this match and return to the victory truck again. It is difficult to predict which team will win the match today. Gujarat's batsmen are in good form. Despite losing against Kolkata, Gujarat set a huge target of 205 runs. I think Gujarat's batsmen can play well in today's match as well. At the same time, if the bowlers of Gujarat can do some controlled bowling then I think Gujarat will win. Personally my favorite team today is Gujarat Titans.

Gujarat Titans are far ahead of Punjab Kings as they have won their previous matches but won by a wide margin due to which Gujarat Kings are ahead in the points table. On the other hand, both teams have four points, so the team that can win today's match will add two points and will be at the bottom of the points table. So both teams will try to perform well but in today's game Gujarat and Punjab both teams will enter the field with their new strategy.

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.

Ambani will end up making profits even if the matches are telecasted for free. They have the digital rights from 2023 to 2027, and the Indian OTT market is growing at close to 15% per year. And there is no guarantee that Jio Cinema will continue with its free subscription plan for the next few years. If everything goes well, then they may introduce a subscription fee of ₹999 or ₹1,999 per annum, which will net them thousands of crores in revenue every year. My only concern is about the monopoly that is being enjoyed by Jio.

Despite the fact that Chennai Super Kings lost the match there were still some useful lessons learned. Despite Gaikwad's dismal performance Conway and Rahane's initial combination showed promise. In addition, towards the close of the innings, Dhoni and Jadeja were able to offer some consistency. It is crucial to keep in mind that not every match will go as expected but there is always room for growth and improvement. The fact that it was an enjoyable match to watch also indicates that both teams gave their followers plenty to cheer about. Chennai Super Kings will have further chances to excel and display their talent.

Gujrat Titans - Punjab Kings
Today's match between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings is expected to be very competitive. Both these teams won their first two matches and lost their last match.

Just like everyone know that both team are well balanced so it will be an exciting match to watch, but in my view Punjab Kings has a little bit edge in bowling side because of the presence of quality bowler Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh. While on the other hand Gujrat has strong batting lineup, so I think it's not easy to predict who will be the winner, but any of them who control Thier nerves during pressure and play fairly will take the game.

With this win RR are now at number one position while CSK with 2 wins and 2 loss are at number 5 position. CSK are still very much into the competition. Last night game was a close contest and RR managed to secure victory by just 3 runs. The target of 176 set by RR is not too big to chase. I can't believe that Dohni was there till end and still CSK lost by 3 runs. CSK lost the track when they lost 3 quick wickets of Dube, Ali and Ambati Rayudu.

I remember those days when folks like us used to pay 250rs for 1 GB of data for mobile.

I'll give you my personal example. I've already mentioned a few times that i personally use an enormous amount of data per month. Ironically today i had to cut my internet line due to the construction work on my property and construction activities would go on for a couple of more days and I wanted connectivity immediately due to some work so i quickly recharged my JIO number ( mind you recharging my number after 3-4 years gap) and it cost me only 219 rs for 3 GB Per day for 14 days.

If consumers are getting benefits then these sorts of competitions are welcomed, other parties should up their game and compete with the jio. I noticed Mittal's recent bitching on Ambani's strategy, tbh former was the main beneficiary of high data price and that monopoly was destroyed by the latter.

[Popkon6]

Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans match is very difficult to predict. Looking at the points table between these two teams, Gujarat is slightly ahead as both have 4 points. But Gujarati Titans are slightly ahead when calculating win run rate with few matches won by huge margins. So Gujarat team place 4th but today I hold my bet for this game. I am still not fully convinced by the line-up as one side's bowling line-up is strong Punjab Kings. On the other hand, Gujarat team's batting line is strong. 
So I want your advice which team can win?

Jio is known for disrupting business in the mobile industry. They have ventured into many businesses lately and have initiated the disruption already in e-commerce and now on the OTT platform. I don't think they will introduce a subscription plan after 2027. What they might do is give a choice of subscription plan or free plan. The Ambanis do not work as the world work. They make the world work like they want it to work.

Completely agreed. Ambani is not doing anything unethical. It is a free market and anyone can come up with such schemes. The competitors (in this case, mostly Disney-Star and Sony LIV) are not angels. They have spiked their subscription fee manytimes in the past (and in case of Disney-Star platform Hotsar, that was done without any corresponding improvement in the quality). Whatever Jio earns in profit will remain in India, while Disney-Star and Sony are partly owned by foreign corporations.

BTW, I find it very interesting that you mentioned about Sunil Mittal. If he had provided services at affordable rates, then there would have been no vacuum for Ambani to take advantage of it. But he only cared about the short term benefits and was busy bribing the ruling party politicians of that time (2004-14).

You are right that Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans match is very difficult to predict. Because both the teams are currently performing quite well and the quality of players in the teams is almost equivalent. Still, the IPL is currently quite packed with every team playing incredibly well.

If you go with points table then both teams have equal chances of winning today's game. But if we look at Punjab last game then it was complete disaster in batting except Shikhar Dhawan 99 runs. If PBKS continue to behave like that very soon the tournament will be over for them. GT have lost only one game and that is against KKR. That game went to very last ball. If I have to choose between GT and Punjab then I will go with GT.

If we look at Punjab Kings' previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad they had a boring performance both in bowling and batting. Gujarat Titans' points are higher than Punjab Kings but I feel that Punjab Kings will put up a good performance this time. Whether they win or not depends on both their batting and bowling performances. If Punjab Kings' bowling performance is good then their batting also needs to perform well.

It's hard to predict between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans. Yet one thing is for sure this match is going to be fantastic

It is true what you said that the two teams performed quite well and the quality of the players on the team was almost equal even before the match started, no one could or it was difficult to predict which team would win the IPL match this season.
Even though it is difficult to predict and it is not certain that the correct predictions can be made, I would say that Pujab Kings can win.
I have faith that the Pujab Kings can beat the Gujarat Titans even if only by a narrow margin.
Pujab Kings has provided at least proof that they have a pretty good winning history and can make me have more faith in them.

I absolutely concur with you that Gujarat Titans appear to have an advantage over Punjab Kings when we look at both teams' recent performances. Unlike Gujarat Titans (GT) who had a more balanced lineup with numerous match winners, Punjab Kings (PBKS) largely leaned on Shikhar Dhawan in their most recent match. In addition, Punjab Kings' batting meltdown against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is concerning and they must immediately rebound if they want to remain in the running. Overall, I concur that the Gujarat Titans are the match's favourites.

If you compare both Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans, then you may notice one thing. Punjab is a bit overdependent on some of their star players, such as Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh, while Gujarat is a much more balanced team equally strong in all departments. On top of that, I liked the way Hardik Pandya captained the team so far. Anyway, both the teams have momentum with them, and they have lost just one match each till now. My guess is that Gujarat will win the match today, irrespective of who wins the toss.

That stats of both teams are same and both are wally strong. Till now gurjrat is doing good with their balling attack they already took 2 wickets of Punjab Kings in 5  overs . The runrate is pretty good ,Punjab Kings can give a good target if they'll retain wickets .
Gujrat titans balling attack is really good .

Agreed, irrespective of the toss the match is much in favour of Gujarat Titans. Punjab Kings depending on few players won't give hands everytime. The match is going to be close as the last few matches that got its result as the very last ball of the match. Shikhar Dhawan played well in the last match and this time has already walked to the pavilion. Both the teams are equally strong and Gujarat Titans have the wicket standing capability which boosts the confidence to win any match irrespective of the target placed.

GT have got the crucial wicket of Shikhar Dhawan along with Prabhsimran Singh at very stage of PBKS innings. As I am writing this Rashid Khan has got the wicket of Matthew Short. It looks like PBKS will score somewhere around 150 to 160 which won't be difficult for GT to chase.
Pandya no doubt has lead GT very well, and credit for that goes to franchise owner also for picking a balanced team. GT has both good bowling as well as batting.
