T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Rabata]

The Kolkata team definitely needs some changes. Even after flopping so many times from the beginning, Kolkata is entering the field again and again with the same squad.  Those who failed to perform after so many opportunities should be replaced and new ones should be given a chance. 

There are some good cricketers in the Kolkata team but those are not in playing squad, if they get the chance to play, could have brought back the spirit of the team. In my sense Tim Southee, Mandeep Singh, Jason Roy, David Wiese should be given priority. In this match no one got a good run in the entire match except Venkatesh Iyer. It is very difficult to expect the team to win in such conditions. If one player stay in the pitch with Venkatesh Iyer then we could expect 200 or above and it would be easier to pressure on the Mumbai team. However, in the next match we can expect some changes in the team.

It was another splendid performance from the Pakistan team. Many of the players are fresh from the Pakistan Super League and the impact was quite visible in their performances. Yesterday the partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan added close to 100 runs on board for Pakistan, and then Iftikhar Ahmed performed some fireworks towards the end. The inexperienced Kiwi bowlers (Henry Shipley, Ben Lister, Rachin Ravindra and Cole McConchie) struggled against the Pakistani batsmen. And apart from Mark Chapman, none of the other New Zealand players contributed with the bat.

Pakistan is thoroughly enjoying this series as they are winning and performing excellently . Newzealand inexperienced team is having difficulty infront of Pakistan's batting and balling too.
No one Is playing good from their side the reason is might be all their experience players are playing IPL.

Even this is useless series but after watching Babar Azam it's good chance for him to improve his record against poor bowling which is having not enough experience in this game with unfamiliar conditions things going good for the Pakistan, and they can win this series without losing any match and their players can also take good experience from here for the future games.

Now Babar is second-highest century's maker in T20i after legendary Gayle bowlers are also doing amazing job in first two matches, specially Haris Rauf on fire we have three more T20i matches left after 20/twenty matches we have five ODI which are going to play Rawalpindi and Karachi good for practice against Kiwis inexperienced team.

Kolkata Knight Riders lost another match against Mumbai Indians. Where Kolkata's bowling disaster is in full view. It would be wrong to say that it was only a bowling disaster and that the batting did very well. If Venkatesh Iyer had not played a brilliant innings of 104 runs, Kolkata's innings might have ended much earlier.  

The Kolkata team definitely needs some changes. Even after flopping so many times from the beginning, Kolkata is entering the field again and again with the same squad.  Those who failed to perform after so many opportunities should be replaced and new ones should be given a chance.  

If David Wiese is fielded instead of Lockie Ferguson, Kolkata will have the benefit of bowling and batting. Rahmanullah Gurbaz failed to prove himself despite getting multiple opportunities. As such, Jason Roy or Liton Das should be given a chance instead.
changes.

I think Mumbai Indians are going to bounce back, although they have not had a good start but they have performed as expected in the recent two matches.
However, this did not bring good news for Kolkata as Kolkata already started to slide down from their good position. They have lost two matches in a row and I will agree with you that they need to bring some changes in the team management.
If some changes result in a change in the performance of the team, then that change is definitely necessary for Kolkata.  There is still a chance for Kolkata Kolkata should enter the field with some And I will agree with you here too that Liton Das should be fielded as his performance recently has been outstanding. So since he is on form now I think he can bring a plus point to the batting side for Kolkata. As I can see in this match without Venkatesh Iyer more over all player failed to perform as a batsmen in this match also.

Without the Indian players, I am not sure how this league will take off. From what we have seen form the recent ICC media rights auctions, 90% of the cricket revenues originate from India. If Indian players are not there, then the interest, and thereby revenue potential from India will be on the lower side. And they have very high ambitions. They want to overtake the IPL and become the "richest" cricket league in the world. In the end they may become the "richest" league, but by no means they will be able to become the most "popular" league in the world.

Yes, without India in cricket having any big league is not possible even Saudi are doing amazing huge investments in sports and trying to change view of their country specially while Crown Prince is still involved in many off the record issues which are not good for the Kingdom and I have personal view about their World Cup bidding is not going to successful because things are still not favorable for them around the world like Qatar.

Back to cricket as BCCI announces things completely down and out of their way because right now India is the biggest brand in cricket and if they want to do something it's not possible without India, and they will not do anything which bring down IPL image for me this dream is not going to be become into reality.

It is absolutely true that India is the biggest name in cricket right now. And of course, with such a big name comes a lot of good fortune from the ICC as well. And I think India has done good enough in terms of planning. This is actually a very good business mind from India. We have to remember there was a time when India was suffering. That’s because at the time only England, and Australia were the biggest in cricket. What I want to say is unless India is somehow forced to do something, they are currently not going to do it if that takes down the image of them. And there is no one to force them right now.

I don't understand why the Kolkata team is keeping Rahamanullah Gurbaz on the team. In today's match, he collected 8 runs off 12 balls. No opener bats like that in a competitive stage like IPL. The Kolkata team has kept Gurbaz in their 5 matches. He performed slightly better in the first two fields. But he played poorly in the next three matches. Roy or Liton can now outperform Gurbaz. Roy is an excellent batsman. Also, Liton is in very good form. We have seen Liton's great batting with the Bangladesh team. I would say Kolkata should bring changes in their opening pair.

 The playing quality of team players is very bad.Kolkata Knight Riders team batsman and bowling line is very weak due to which they perform so bad in every match.I think if they play bad game like this then Kolkata Knight Riders team will be relegated.So if Kolkata Knight Riders survive.  If they want to stay, they have to play well in their matches now.

Indians fans are crazy for cricket. And South Asians are big cricket fans.
Let's not forget the fact the world champions are England and not South Asians. despite of the fact the fan following is huge in India - Pakistan - Sirlanaka and Bangladesh.

We can't say Kolkata Knight Riders to ne really bad with their performance. 185 runs is a good target, but in the match Mumbai started its dominance from the very beginning and bowlers weren't able to have control. The ground being small makes scoring easier. The team have got good line-up of players and they stand a chance to be on the top four.

Although it is true that Kolkata Knight Riders haven't been playing to their full ability in this competition keep in mind that there is still a plenty of cricket yet to be played. The club has some really talented players, so they can definitely turn things around with some changes to their approach and outlook. Cricket is a game of momentum, so it is important to keep in mind that sometimes all it takes is one strong effort to bring a team back on track. Do not give up on the Kolkata Knight Riders just yet; with perseverance and hard work they may undoubtedly raise themselves up the points table and improve their performance.

After losing two matches in a row, the Kolkata Knight Riders team management may have realized where their weakness lies. If they can carry weak points then they should focus more on those weak points. Since there are many options at hand, Kolkata should make use of those options. One is doing poorly in the opening, Kolkata should change that place. 
Jason Roy's impressive performance in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League, or Liton Das' recent performance in the recently concluded series between England and Ireland was eye-catching, hopefully giving either of them a chance won't hurt. 

Kolkata should make some changes if only for the good of the team. Hopefully the Kolkata management will work on these issues before taking to the field in the next match.

I think Kolkata's main weakness is their top order. The performance of top-order players is not regular. Ventakesh Iyer is no one else able to consistently perform well. Had the two openers Gurbaz and Jagadeesan performed responsibly, Kolkata could have gone on to a bigger collection. Also, I don't think Kolkata's bowling line-up is strong this season. Despite having bowlers like Narine, Russel, Umesh Yadav, and Ferguson in the squad, their performances have been poor. Except for Suyash Sharma, every bowler in Kolkata had a poor performance in this match. Also in the previous matches, we have seen bad bowling from Kolkata.

I do not think the problem with KKR is their batting. They had a good start but were not able to maintain the run rate because of exceptional fielding and good bowling but MI. Ishan Kishan and SKY both played their natural game yesterday. When these two go on then their is no stopping, this is why MI was able to defeat KKR. Another important aspect of yesterdays match was good captaincy by SKY. I mean everything went correct for MI againt KKR.

Even this is useless series but after watching Babar Azam it's good chance for him to improve his record against poor bowling which is having not enough experience in this game with unfamiliar conditions things going good for the Pakistan, and they can win this series without losing any match and their players can also take good experience from here for the future games.

Now Babar is second-highest century's maker in T20i after legendary Gayle bowlers are also doing amazing job in first two matches, specially Haris Rauf on fire we have three more T20i matches left after 20/twenty matches we have five ODI which are going to play Rawalpindi and Karachi good for practice against Kiwis inexperienced team.

New Zealand prefer IPL over this series that's why they are getting such results, as almost all key players are busy playing IPL. If this continuous then very soon players will be busy playing T20 leagues and national team will be left at the mercy of new players. Anyways its good for Pakistan to improve there stats against new New Zealand side. Pakistan already 2-0 in the series and today we have 3rd T20I today, odds are defiantly in favour of Pakistan but still place bet after making necessary research.

IPL is the most popular and expensive cricket league in the world. No cricketer wants to miss that opportunity. Nowadays earning money is the main objective of every cricketer. New Zealand's national team has suffered a major setback against Pakistan due to focus on IPL. Back-to-back big losses in two T20Is have dented the team's confidence. Today is the 3rd match of this T20 series. If they lose today's match then they will lose the series. So New Zealand will try their best to save the series.

Your are right buddy It would be dishonest to blame Pakistan success exclusively on the fact that several New Zealand players are currently involved in the IPL. It is a credit to their perseverance and commitment to the game that the Pakistani squad has displayed such ability and tenacity in their performances thus far in the series. It also crucial to keep in mind that T20 leagues like the IPL may give players invaluable exposure and experience which will ultimately help their national teams in the long term. In regards to the current match it is always advisable to conduct adequate research before placing bets and to approach the game with a positive mindset supporting both sides in their efforts to play at their best.

The pitch was certainly better than most of the people thought. It was very batting-friendly. That’s why Mumbai was able to score so easily in the match. Also, I have to say that the gameplay of Mumbai was really exceptional. It was hard to actually get any more runs by KKR because of the exceptionally restrictive performance from Mumbai Indians. And I can say for sure that even if KKR got 20 more, that wouldn’t have been enough as well. Because Mumbai still had 14 balls left.

RR vs GT turned out to be one of the most entertaining matches in this season. There were so many twists and turns throughout the match. These two have become powerful rivals just like RCB-SRH, CSK-MI etc.

I bet on RR and they somehow won despite losing Jaiswal and Buttler in a poor manner. Samson, Hetmyer, Ashwin etc were brilliant.

CNZ was committed about this tour of Pakistan but at this point mostly New Zealand top ranked players are involved in IPL because they have better money from this league, and we have few boards those can't force their players for any tour this all create mess-up just because of this New Zealand selectors send this team with their reserve players which are not capable of competing with Pakistan first priority team and lost these two matches badly most chances we will have this series one-sided because Pakistan is involved with their all top players which are giving their best and difference is surely having his own impact.

Weather conditions are also not favorable for them as well because right now we have heat which is hurting them badly as this is their off season, and they are still playing in Pakistan just because of their commitment.

RR surely raised their game in the last 2 seasons, they always had a gun squad but collectively no one clicked and somehow it's changing. RR vs GT might be emerging as a nice rivalry but it's because they were the finalist last time.

IMO RR vs Punjab matches always go to the wire in comparison to RR vs GT.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to bowl. And after some time the match is going to start. So far Chennai have played four matches and got two wins. Bengaluru has two wins in four matches. Ruturaj Gaikwad is performing amazing batting in this year's IPL.
Both Chennai and Bangalore have very strong batting lines. Playing at home in Bangalore today, Bengaluru will try to play well. Do you think which team can win today's match?
