T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

In 2015-2016 when he was new, he was so good with the bat and one of the finest athletes in Indian cricket. Everyone had so much hope for him when he scored a ton against Australia in Australia.

Really? I didn't know any of this. I saw him play in SRH for a couple of seasons and he seemed like an average player, but I didn't know that he had so much potential.

Yup, he did show some sign of greatness with his temperament as he wasn't cocky, was an absolutely down to earth guy, hardworking and ridiculously fit. Kohli the fitness freak was a big admirer of Pandey ji and Kohli on the record admitted that only Pandey can beat him when it comes to fitness.

But unfortunately, he lost focus on his skill level and became a sad story.

[Negotiation]

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.

Yeah stuck in a losing streak, a 4 wicket win over KKR gave the pontings some relief an elated then went back to his career of 27 years ago. He says we are happy to see the first victory I was sitting in the dugout thinking, it's like my first test run, we were happy to win that 25 years ago talking about today's match, luck was on our side.

CSK vs SRH
Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 29th Match of IPL has already started. Chennai won the toss and took the fielding decision. Hyderabad scored 70 runs in 9 overs losing one wicket. Harry Brook was out for 18 off 13 balls. Abhishek Sharma was unbeaten on 34 off 25 balls. Rahul Tripathi is unbeaten with 16 runs off 16 balls. Playing at Chennai ground, Chennai will try to play well

[JSRAW]

They are mixing up pitches this time?

First, we had some high scoring matches, followed by average scores and now we are in low scoring phase. Make no mistake, low scoring matches could be a thriller too but fans do love to watch 6s and 4s. That's why they watch the T-20 format.

[Ayers]

RR, LSG, CSK &GT are looking good in the point table for now. Top three teams will easy go into the play offs. The fourth team might be either GT or RCB. SRH will be playing against CSK today. I have a feeling that CSK would win this match as they are looking very good as a bowling & batting side. The only issue is thier fielding. They have made a tendency to drop catches. Harry Brooks was a failure in the last match. If CSK can get his wicket then they would easily win today's match.

Almost half of the IPL 2023 season is over. A total of 70 matches will be held in the group stage, out of which 28 matches have already been held. In the 28 matches, each team is in a different position in the points table. So far, Rajasthan Royals are at the top of the points table with 8 points from six matches. And LSG as the second team, CSK as the third team and Gujarat Titans at the fourth position in the points table. 

The game is still half over so it is not yet known which four teams will qualify for the playoffs of IPL 2023. 
Rajasthan Royals and LSG are pretty sure to make the playoffs. Let's see which of the remaining two teams qualify for the playoffs.

I believe it is still really early in this tournament to predict anything. Yes, I know already half of the matches have been played. But you know, the point difference is still not very big between all the teams.

You are right, it is true that the team which are on the upper side of the table are actually looking really good. But I believe that can change at any time. However, one thing is certain that the last three teams on the table are not looking so good right now.

Harry Brook was out for 18 off 13 balls. Abhishek Sharma was unbeaten on 34 off 25 balls. Rahul Tripathi is unbeaten with 16 runs off 16 balls. Playing at Chennai ground, Chennai will try to play well

We saw the match between Kolkata and Delhi Capitals as a low scoring match. Today I saw the match between SRH and CSK as a low scoring match. Although only one innings of the game is over.  In the first innings, SRH managed to score only 134 runs for seven wickets. 

134 runs in 20 overs is not suitable in any way in an event like IPL where all the world class star players perform. Hopefully the target of 135 runs will not be too much for CSK. With a target of 135 runs, they have already started to bat. 
Since RCQ is only 6.7 for CSK expect CSK to chase this target very soon.

I think in this match Sunrisers Hyderabad could not score many runs by batting. Sunrisers Hyderabad team's batting was under a lot of pressure. If the batting could have scored a little more runs then maybe Sunrisers Hyderabad would have won this match very easily. Now if Sunrisers Hyderabad batting like that.  Performed poorly If they perform this poorly in bowling then they will have no chance to win the match. Expect to see a lot of hard fought action in this match. But I am still not sure which team will win.

Ruturaj and Devon Conway of the Chennai Super Kings team entered the field as opening batsmen and performed well. If they can survive for some more time then Chennai Super Kings can win easily. Hyderabad is not that strong to say as the power play gave massive runs and Chennai Super Kings could not put any pressure on the bowling side. Ruturaj scored 44 off 30 balls en route to a near century, a good performance for the team. The Sunrise Hyderabad skipper should now put pressure on the Chennai team with spinners.

IPL is very much over for teams like SRH and DC. Today SRH will lose another game as they have given a small target of 134 runs to a strong team of CSK. Super Kings need 62 runs in 69 balls and whole batting lineup still to come. Seems like a warm up match for CSK as there is nothing from SRH in batting and now in bowling. IPL is adding  more teams to the league but there are few teams whose performance is nothing but disappointing.

So far Chennai Super Kings have collected 86 runs in 10 overs without losing any wicket. Looking at the match, it is definitely said that Chennai Super Kings are going to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad today. Sunrisers Hyderabad today's match they collected only 134 runs by losing 7 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs due to their bad performance. Abhishek Sharma scored the highest run for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Abhishek Sharma scored 34 runs off 26 balls. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings need to score 49 runs in just 60 balls to win. Which is not too difficult for Chennai Super Kings.

[bitgov]

Again, how can you be so sure? Did you watched the 3rd T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan? Apart from Iftikhar Ahmed at no.8 (who scored a valuable 60 runs from 24 balls) none of the Pakistani batsmen were able to make significant contributions. At one point, they were 88/7. And remember that this is against a second string New Zealand attack that is lacking Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner. On paper, Pakistan is much stronger than New Zealand. But consistency is a big problem, as it has been in the recent past.

4th T20I was no different then 3rd one except that Pakistan were not able to bat. New Zealand batsmen have done a good job by scoring 164 runs with one over to spare. Pakistan batting lineup is too much dependent on what Babar and Rizwan score as opener. Rizwan is most inconsistent player in Pakistani batting and Babar is a good batsmen but as a captain his performance is disappointing. PCB must do something about there roles.

Pakistan vs New Zealand
 New Zealand scored very good runs in the team match. I thought maybe New Zealand will be all out for 150 runs. But Pakistan team did not do very well. I saw the batsmen of Pakistan team in the previous match they lost to New Zealand team.  If the match was a complete game then maybe if Pakistan had performed badly in batting then Pakistan could not have won this match in any way.

I don't understand what basically happened in the match between New Zealand and Pakistan. Is the match a draw? Or is the game stopped for some reason, please let me know. However, Pakistanis are ahead of creation till now some players of Pakistan team have developed world class, want their outstanding performance Pakistan team is strengthening itself day by day.

The Chennai Super Kings wisely chose to field first against Sunrisers Hyderabad after winning the toss. The game is shaping up to be an entertaining match with Hyderabad hitting 70 runs in 9 overs with just one wicket lost. Abhishek Sharma has been keeping the innings together with an unbeaten 34 runs off 25 balls despite losing Harry Brook for 18 runs off 13 balls. With his undefeated 16 runs off 16 balls, Rahul Tripathi has been making a significant contribution as well. Devon Conway played an amazing inning of 77 runs in just 5 balls and Chennai won by 7 wickets.

This was quite easy for Chennai super kings to win. The target was not very big at all. I could say that they were very comfortable getting to the target in this match. Sunrises Hyderabad basically did not have enough on the board to defend.

The next match of Chennai is going to be against Kolkata. I believe that is not going to be very hard for Chennai as well. I say that because Kolkata is not performing well right now. Whatever Kolkata is trying right now is not working. Kolkata has a big weakness in the opening prayer. I believe Chennai will want to exploit that weakness for sure.

Not only the Hyderabad and Delhi teams, but Kolkata's condition is also very deplorable. Delhi won 1 out of 6 matches. Hyderabad and Kolkata have won only two out of 6 matches. Despite having an excellent squad, the Kolkata side did not perform well. However, Delhi and Hyderabad teams are in very poor condition. Both teams are very weak in both batting and bowling. In every match, we see poor performances from both the teams. They have very little chance of climbing the points table.

Even if it's true that the teams from Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Delhi have had difficulties in the IPL thus far it is crucial to keep in mind that the competition has a long way to go. Every team experiences adversity; what counts is how they respond to it. All three teams have the capacity to change their fortunes thanks to their talented players and knowledgeable coaching staff. Let's continue to cheer them on as supporters and wish for some spectacular performances in the next games. Who knows maybe they'll all take us by surprise.

More changes have taken place at the last moment with continuous wins. However it is always good to have winning at the beginning stages, so that the team can play with less pressure at the last matches. If not the team will be playing with must win target so to enter the playoffs. The mentioned teams were at their bad form, and someone from the team should give a refreshment that could boost every player's performance. Each team to play 14 matches, out of the same few have played 6 and rest have played 5 matches. So more matches are left and teams can plan well and execute well.

[Haunebu]

Observed several people jumping to conclusions when only 40% of the season has finished so far. Anyone with a half-decent brain knows that every team still has a shot at making it to the playoffs.

I feel that RR, GT, CSK and RCB will finish in the top-4 though I might be completely wrong since this is the IPL after all.

[noormcs5]

I feel that RR, GT, CSK and RCB will finish in the top-4 though I might be completely wrong since this is the IPL after all.

Do not make any early predictions because when you see the points table the team's total points are so close and they all differ by the Net Run rate. We have 8 and 6 points till the number 7 spot which shows that anything is possible in this year's IPL and it is too early to predict the top 4. I guess each and every point is very important for the teams and therefore teams should try to win every match in the hope to qualify for top 4 teams.

[Patrol69]

There are two matches in IPL today. The day match will feature LSG and GT and the night match will feature Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings. 

Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are last season's defending champions and runners-up. In the last IPL, when Lucknow Super Giant and Gujarat Titans reached the final, Gujarat Titans won the IPL title for the first time by defeating Lucknow Super Giant in the final. As the two teams are defending champions and runners-up, this match will be very competitive. 

Punjab Kings will face Mumbai Indians in the night match to move to the 4th position in the points table. Mumbai Indians is at number 6 in the points table and Punjab Kings is at number 7 in the points table. Even though there is a gap in the points table, the points of both teams are equal. 6 points for the two teams who are at number four and number five in the points table. That is, if any of these two teams can defeat each other by a significant margin of runs, then there will be a possibility for them to go to number four in the points table. 

However, if Gujarat Titans win against LSG, they will have a chance to move to the third position in the points table.

[Mr.corol]

Lucknow VS Gujarat
Today is the 30th match of IPL Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans. Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to bat. He scored 135 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. Wriddhiman Saha scored 47 runs off 37 balls, Hardik Pandya scored 66 runs off 50 balls. Both of them have performed well but the strike rate is not very good. Gujarat Titans did not score very well. Gujarat Titans will have to bowl very well to win. I think Lucknow will win easily. Lucknow played at their home ground
