Match 28, DC vs KKR
The game delayed by almost an hour due to rain. However, there's some good news as the match will be played for the full 40 overs. Delhi Capitals won the toss and choose to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders. Liton Das and Jason Roy makes debut, but again their opening partnership failed. Liton Das got out early for just 4 runs then others followed. Delhi bowlers picked up regular wickets that put KKR in a difficult position. Delhi Capitals turns out to be in a positive frame of mind and are looking to break their losing streak.

Today's 4th T20 match of New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2023 has been tossed. New Zealand will come to bat after some time. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl today. I think Pakistan has taken the right decision today. If Pakistan first New Zealand  If the strength of the team can take the wickets, New Zealand will not be able to score much runs. If Pakistan team can bowl well, Pakistan team will have a big chance to win. I am waiting to see the game.

There are only three batters that are scoring in RCB. These two openers and Maxwell. Others are just enjoying their time on the field.

I agree. RCB batsmen comprise of Kohli, Faf and Maxwell while the remaining players are playing like crap consistently. They managed to score 173 only because of Kohli and Faf in this match.

However, this score should be enough for them to secure a win since Punjab already lost 4 wickets within 50 runs primarily thanks to Siraj.

For sure, Royal Challengers Bangalore depends a lot on Kholi and  du Plessis. One of them needs to play big in every match and RCB will end up scoring a reasonable total. In this match, both played well and hence RCB win the match.

Coming to the next match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals, It is expected that KKR will win this match ans DC haven't won any match till now. They played 5 matches and lost 5. However, in this match, they are playing well and KKR has lost 6 wickets and made only 70 runs. Look like Delhi Capitals will experience their first win in this tournament.

Looks like New Zealand have read the situation by now, they are going aggressively against Pakistan Bowling in 4th T20I. In first 3 overs New Zealand have scored 25 runs and lost the wicket of Tom Latham who scored 13 runs on 8 balls. If New Zealand can score somewhere above 160 then it will really test Pakistani batting line up who always struggle to chase a decent total. Pakistan must try to restrict New Zealand by 150 that's there only chance to get victory.

Pakistan brought Spin attack to control the score and Imad wasim did well. He Picked up two wicket earlier and given only 8 runs. New Zealand now 44 runs in five over with lost of two wicket. NZ batsmen looking so aggressive in this match. Power play over and now they will be looking for good total to defend. If they did not lose another wicket earlier then this partnership might be dangerous one for Pak bowlers. Total score can be 170+ now.

Congratulations RCB won by 24 runs. RCB scored 174 in 20 overs, the way they started, they could have scored 190+ if they finished well. But Kohli and Duplessis batted brilliantly. PBKS lost today due to sudden fall of wickets. Today they lost because of their quick wicket fall.

Kohli and Faf du Plessis are quiet a pair they performs good most if the times and today all the credit if their victory goes to them.
They have been outstanding in batting.
Punjab Kings batting lineup couldn't perform today.

Yes we have to admit that Punjab Kings team players didn't play well. Due to their weakness in batting they lost today's match. I didn't think that Punjab Kings will be all out in this match. I thought that the game between the two teams will be tough.  But the Punjab Kings team today lost the match due to their poor performance from bowling to batting. Although the game was a tight fight between the two teams in the beginning but at the end of the game Punjab Kings lost the match due to their poor batting.

[Popkon6]

Kolkata Knight Riders today's game is quite a disappointment. Delhi Capitals can't keep up with it and if a single wicket falls, Kolkata Knight Riders will be all out today. Especially Delhi Capitals who are at the bottom of the points table have a chance to collect two points today. Today's bowling line of Delhi Capitals is very strong, due to which KKR team players are not getting a chance to stay on the field for a long time with batting. Currently, Russell and Jason Roy have collected several runs for Kolkata Knight Riders. Delhi Capitals have the biggest chance to add points to the end of their name today.

Coming to the next match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals, It is expected that KKR will win this match ans DC haven't won any match till now. They played 5 matches and lost 5. However, in this match, they are playing well and KKR has lost 6 wickets and made only 70 runs. Look like Delhi Capitals will experience their first win in this tournament.

Yeah. KKR are playing like crap to be honest. Roy and Russell played well, but the rest played like amateurs. KKR have some of the most inconsistent players in this season which is why their results are so random.

If DC doesn't win this one, they should just quit the tournament and go home in my opinion.

KKR is not performing well. Playing Liton Das didn’t work out well for them also. They have only collected 108/9 and they only have five balls remaining. Pretty sure that they are not going to be able to win this match. I predict that because the score that they have been able to achieve, or they will achieve is not going to be enough certainly. As I was writing this, Andrew Russell has hit 2 back to back sixes. Well actually, it’s three back-to-back sixes now. Anyway, they have ended the innings with 127 on the board. And they also have been all out while doing so.

This is certainly not going to be enough, and I have to say the decision of DC bowling first what is the right one after winning the toss.

Pakistan and newZealand played Thier first 3 t20 match in Lahore Gaddafi stadium which were in favor of fast bowler compared to spin bowlers. But now In Islamabad things totally changed, fast bowler are little bit expensive while spin are quite good just like the result shown by imad in starting overs. Just like you mentioned pakistan need to hold them below 150 but unfortunately it didn't happen due to magnificent batting of Bowes and Chapman newZealand scored 160+ in 18.5 over but due to unexpected rain matches were stopped soon they  will resume it

Rain along with thunderstorm has come to rescue Pakistan. Its raining heavily here and didn't looks like play will resume tonight. New Zealand were on top when play was interrupted because of rain. In 18.5 overs New Zealand score was 164 and Mark Chapman was not out on 71. With 7 balls remaining it is very much expected that New Zealand may give target of somewhere around 175. Target of 170 or more is not easy to chase specially if its Pakistan.

New Zealand played beautifully today which was not seen in their previous games.  164 runs in 18.5 overs was not a bad score.  They could have easily collected 5-10 more runs in the remaining 7 balls.  But even if they give Pakistan a target of 175 runs, Pakistan can beat their target by playing against New Zealand. Because Pakistan has good enough players and they are good enough and focused in playing cricket. even if it is played again after rain, I think Pakistan will win

The match is being delayed due to rain. There is also a possibility that the match will be abandoned. But if not abandoned, New Zealand will probably win. If they can deliver a target of 175 runs on a pitch that will be a good enough collection. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to predict Pakistan's batting performance. There is no doubt that Pakistan will win if Babar and Rizwan are able to play well. But these two players are not able to play well and it is difficult for Pakistan to win. Because the performance of any batsman in Pakistan is not regular.

If rain didn't interrupted the game than Newzealand could have easily won this game too , what a brilliant batting by Kiwis they were fearlessly playing with aoo much confidence totally enjoyed their game .
And Pakistan would have great difficulty in matching up their pace.

Bad news for new zealand and good news for Pakistan that match ended with no result. Now new zealand can only draw this series while Pakistan can either draw this series or win it as they are 2/1 up in the series. This is now alarming for Pakistan crikcet as they first lost T20 series to Afghanistan and now they are getting tough time from new zealand second tier team. It was predicted before this series that Pakistan will win this series quite comfortably.

Although Pakistan has a good team, it is crucial to remember that New Zealand can compete at their highest level. They shown their abilities and teamwork in today's match and they have the chance to maintain their momentum in upcoming games. It is also important to keep in mind that weather can always affect how a game turns out making it challenging to predict the outcome with precision. In any case, the match has been thrilling and competitive since both teams have demonstrated their talent and commitment. Let's be grateful for everyone's efforts and anticipate more exciting cricket in the future.

Yes, it was certain that the Pakistan team would not be able to chase this big total if the match was not abandoned by the rain. Pakistan batsmen failed to chase the moderate total of 163 runs in the previous match too. Imad Wasim took 3 wickets for 19 runs and was the best bowler for his team.
Mark Chapman was playing at 71 runs when the rain come down. If NZ were allowed the whole 20 overs and Chapman remained not out, NZ could have scored 180+ runs.

Now the situation is that Pakistan can't lose this series while NZ can't win it from here. Yes, the series can be drawn if NZ managed to win the last T20 match.

[Mahdirakib]

Yeah. KKR are playing like crap to be honest. Roy and Russell played well, but the rest played like amateurs. KKR have some of the most inconsistent players in this season which is why their results are so random.
If DC doesn't win this one, they should just quit the tournament and go home in my opinion.

What magic the rain has done that the pitch became too good for the bowlers, especially for the spin bowlers! DC hardly managed to win the match. Perhaps, KKR players had no idea that how difficult the pitch is for batting. The spin bowl was getting unexpected bounce. Sunil Narine is not bowling well as he used to do in the past. Anyway, DC is happy as it is their first victory in this season after five consecutive losses.

Now the situation is that Pakistan can't lose this series while NZ can't win it from here. Yes, the series can be drawn if NZ managed to win the last T20 match.

The match has been abandoned. I would say Pakistan should be happy. The New Zealand team collected 164 runs in 18.5 overs. And probably they would have been able to give a target like 175-180 and batting on this target would have been very difficult for Pakistan to win. They played well in the first two matches but their performance in the third match was poor. Even in today's match, if the target is more than 175, it would be difficult for Pakistan's batsmen to bat against this target. However, Pakistan will probably win the last match of the series. And I guess Pakistan will win this series.

Now new zealand can only draw this series while Pakistan can either draw this series or win it as they are 2/1 up in the series. This is now alarming for Pakistan cricket as they first lost the T20 series to Afghanistan and now they are getting a tough time from the new zealand second-tier team. It was predicted before this series that Pakistan will win this series quite comfortably.

Yes, it's bad news match has an abandoned without any result. New Zealand play well in the first inning 164 runs and 5 wickets gone but Mark Chapman is not out he played well he score 71 runs in just 42 balls with 10 fours and 1 six with a strike rate of 169 such an amazing player he is. From Pakistan Haris Rouf and Shaheen shah afridi picked 1,1 wicket but he was Expensive tonight with an Economy of 9.13 and 10. I think Rawalpindi's is a good batting pitch not supporting bowlers If Rain doesn't disturb the play Pakistan will win the Match. I hope Pakistan will win this series.
