T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

It's always entertaining to watch the CSK crowd go crazy whenever Dhoni does anything(Take off his helmet, Shadow batting, Pick his nose etc). Anyway, CSK pounded MI primarily thanks to a great comeback by Chahar.

GT need 2 points while CSK need 3 points for playoffs qualification. Also, I think DC will defeat RCB today.

And as far as SRH management goes. I feel that now these guys are trying really hard to justify Brook's price tah as they spent a shitload amount of money on him, on the other hand, the other guy was bought on base price.

Makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why they wouldn't give Phillips a chance in 1 or 2 matches at the very least to see how he performs. They are just shuffling Brook up and down the order pointlessly.

They always go nuts for Dhoni but tbh it was a dead match.

On SRH, well then how would management particularly scouts will justify going mental after Brook in an auction? They fought fiercely over Brook at that time and other parties inflated his price.

ROyal Challengers Bengaluru VS Delhi Capitals

Bengaluru set a target of 182 runs against Delhi Capitals. 181 runs on such a pitch I would not call a bad performance. But I expected Bengaluru to deliver more than 200 targets today. Because their two openers Kohli and du Plessis batted well in this match. Bengaluru lost their first wicket in the 11th over. Even though Kohli could play an innings of 55 runs today, his strike rate was only 119. Mahipal's innings of 54 runs from 29 balls enabled Bengaluru to collect 181 runs.
Delhi have won three of their last four matches. The team's batsmen are in good form. If the opening pair can bat well, Delhi has a chance to win against Bengaluru.

I think Delhi will win today's match as well. Delhi's two openers Phil Salt and David Warner have been able to start their innings very well. At the end of 5 overs, Delhi collected 60 runs. David Warner scored 22 off 13 balls and Phil Salt scored 35 off 17 balls. Delhi needs 122 runs off 90 balls to win. Delhi will not lose this match unless they lose wickets very quickly. Scoring 122 runs off 90 balls does not seem like a difficult task to me.

The bengaluru team would have been able to occupy the fourth place in the table if they had won this match. But Bangalore is going to lose this match. Bengaluru could not collect big because of Kohli's slow batting. If Kohli had batted a little better, Bengaluru could have easily collected more than 200 on this pitch.

Delhi Capitals won today's match very easily. We don't expect Delhi to get such an easy win. Delhi collected 187 runs in just 16.4 overs. Phil Salt managed to collect 87 runs off 45 balls. Salt's strike rate was 193. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has batted at only 119 strike rate. Delhi Capitals have won 4 of their last 5 matches. Delhi batsmen are able to perform well in every match. The team still has a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds. If Delhi can win all their next matches then they might be able to qualify for the knockout round.

what an amazing performance by Delhi Capitals They chased down the target of 182 runs with ease and won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt was the star of the show, scoring an incredible 87 runs in just 45 balls and deservedly earning the Player of the Match award. the contributions of Josh Hazlewood and H. Patel who each picked up a wicket helping to restrict a big total. RCB batting Virot Kholi 55 and Mahipal Lomror, 54 played good inning but only scored 181 runs. Delhi batting lineup is firing on all cylinders right now and with their bowlers also performing well they're a team to watch out for in this tournament.

I have to say that this was not a very easy target by RCB. This was certainly a very decent target for any team. But DC was able to chase that down so easily. They may date look so easy. DC did not give any chance to RCB bowlers in this match. They just smashed everything right and left.

I honestly cannot blame RCB's batting. They have certainly done a decent job. But especially Phil Salt took apart the RCB bowling lineup. It was like DC was in a hurry. DC is currently at the bottom of the table. But they did not certainly play like one.

DC has changed as a team so much in last few matches. Phil salt played in a different form today. With RCB the problem is always the same. You don't have the match winners with you. Today when Lomror played nicely there was no one who gave support in the middle order and even in the bowling as well. There will always be just a couple of players performing for the team no matter what type of match it is for you and there will be no match winners.

I absolutely agree. Today watching RCB play was more like watching them go through the motions. It was not like they had any urgency. I also do not think that they had a good plan while bowling. Lomror was the reason RCB even got to a respectful total. Otherwise, that target was probably going to be something around 165. Watching Lomror bat we could all sense that this was a far better pitch than RCB portrayed it to be. We didn't see DC have any problems while batting.

Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals encounter appears to be a really fascinating one. Bengaluru set a target of 182 runs but given the performance of their openers Kohli and du Plessis it was slightly below average. Mahipal assistance was essential in helping them reach a respectable total. Delhi Capitals, on the other side have been playing well lately winning three of their previous four matches. Their batsmen appear to be in terrific form, and if their opening two can put on a strong showing against Bengaluru, they will undoubtedly have a chance to win. It will be interesting to see how the match plays out and which team prevails.

In most of the matches, Warner used to score for the Delhi Capitals. After his wicket I thought this match would go closer and RCB wins. Everything happened in the opposite way with the rashing performance from Phil Salt and Rossouw. With the win Delhi Capitals have moved to the 9^th position on the points table. RCB continues on the 5^th position. The race for the playoff have begun and four teams have got same points after 10 matches. Run rate gonna be the deciding factor on playoff.

Delhi Capitals win in 50th match. Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a ্good score but that was not sufficient that is why Delhi Capitals easily won the match. But by looking at the condition of play, it can be easily guessed that Royal Challengers Bangalore's batsman's strike rate was not good. Kohli played with a strike rate of 119 du Plessis 140. On the other hand, every batsman of Delhi Capitals had a strike rate above 150 for which Delhi Capitals reached the port of victory in 16.4 overs.

Delhi have won three of their last four matches. The team's batsmen are in good form. If the opening pair can bat well, Delhi has a chance to win against Bengaluru.

I think Delhi will win today's match as well. Delhi's two openers Phil Salt and David Warner have been able to start their innings very well. At the end of 5 overs, Delhi collected 60 runs. David Warner scored 22 off 13 balls and Phil Salt scored 35 off 17 balls. Delhi needs 122 runs off 90 balls to win. Delhi will not lose this match unless they lose wickets very quickly.

If Delhi can win all their next matches then they might be able to qualify for the knockout round.

The Delhi team won this match because of the excellent start by the two openers. Delhi batsmen's performance is not regular. As the two openers, especially Phil Salt, got off to a good start, the Delhi batsmen were able to bat in a pressure-free manner in this match. And this is why almost every batsman's performance was good in this match. The team reached the target of victory in just 16.4 overs. Bengaluru's bowlers could not make any advantage in this match. Virat Kohli used 7 bowlers but every bowler's performance was poor.

They had no choice but to shuffle the combination, especially top order and it's for good. Local players like Shaw and Sarfraz who were in great form before the IPL, completely lost it.

Manish Pandey is turned into an average player, barring Axar no Indian batter performing for Delhi. Lomror played beautifully and i am sure RCB will bench him soon  , happens with him all the time.

The shuffle is working for DC, Salt was unstoppable yesterday. I do not know whether this late booming would help them, they still have 4 more matches left. If they play in the same manner then they might rank up. Happy to see Kohli constantly scoring six 50s this season but the bowling is not working for RCB. Mahipal Lomror played well too after a dull start.

2 matches each against Punjab and CSK (Home and away) so i doubt if they are going to win all remaining fixtures.

May be against Punjab but not a clean sweep as they will also face CSK in their own backyard, Chennai.

RCB is always lacking in some aspect. When they are able to restrict the opponent for a small total they are not performing well in batting. But when they are able to get a good score on the board they are not able to restrict their opponent. I honestly believe they should have been able to defend the total of 181. At least the match should have been a lot closer than it was.

Again it comes down to having effective match winners in the team. Looking at the bowling of RCB in the last match it genuinely felt like they have a lack of match winners in the team.

Nothing to say about the Royal Challengers Bangalore team. All other teams are able to change them, but this team does not see any changes. IPL started since 2008 and now 2023 is going on but the fact is that this team didn't win any of the session. They have good batsmen in their team but they don't give importance to bowlers since long. That's why they could not win any session of IPL. However, the position they had in the previous seasons, they have been successful to some extent in this season. But according to the points table, their hope is still alive. They still have 4 games left. If they are able to perform expectedly then it is difficult but possible to expect them to win the championship.
