T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Vaskiy]

MI are in big trouble currently. Tilak and Tim are their last proper batsmen remaining which is why they are playing cautiously due to which they will probably post a total close to 180 as long as they don't get out.

I feel Rohit took the wrong decision to bat first since they excelled at chasing in this season. LSG have the upper hand in my opinion.

This is the same Chepauk ground where CSK and Gujrat played but on a different deck and yesterday there was no dew so maybe it played on Rohit's mind.

CSK won last night despite scoring 172 runs and Mumbai has 182 runs on the scoreboard so there might be some chance but the problem is that MI's bowling is kinda inexperienced and seems weak on paper.

Chris Jordan and Piyush Chawla have got good experience in the bowling lineup. Apart, the bowlers aren't experienced. Chennai Ground seems to favour defending and Lucknow Super Giants have already lost two wickets, Mayers and Mankad. End of the powerplay LSG have reached 54-2 which is a good score for now. Stoinis at 27* and Krunal Pandya on the crease needs to be more responsible to help LSG reach the target.

Chennai Ground seems to favour defending and Lucknow Super Giants have already lost two wickets, Mayers and Mankad. End of the powerplay LSG have reached 54-2 which is a good score for now. Stoinis at 27* and Krunal Pandya on the crease needs to be more responsible to help LSG reach the target.

Stoinis and Krunal Pandeya are two batsmen who are very important for the Lucknow Super Giants especially Stoinis currently has 35 runs off 19 balls. At the other end, Krunal Pandya is batting patiently and giving more strikes to Stoinis. If Mumbai Indians bowlers fail to get these two batsmen out then Mumbai Indians will surely lose today's match. Because the batsmen of Mumbai Indians have given a target of 183 runs to Lucknow Super Giant which is not targeting at all for today's match.

In most of the Matches of Mumbai Indians one of the player used to hit big runs and the contribution from the rest adds up to a big score. Today there is no big scorer. On an average every player had their contribution, and the same helped the team reach 182 runs which is a good target. Now the winning of Mumbai Indians is in the hands of bowlers, Lucknow have got a good batting line-up, yet that looks to be breakable as it is a pressure match. Bowling with good economy at the middle over matters, if Mumbai Indians were able to do it then this is going to be win for Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians encountered a peculiar predicament in today match because none of their players stood out as a major scorer. However because to persistent efforts from each player the club was able to score a commendable total of 182 runs. This exemplifies the batting lineup depth and overall strength for the Mumbai Indians. The team bowlers are now mostly responsible for the match outcome. Given the importance of this match it is not an easy challenge for them to control Lucknow potent batting order. The Mumbai Indians ability to keep up a strong economy rate during the middle overs successfully placing pressure on the opposition will be essential to their success. The Mumbai Indians will probably succeed if they can carry out this plan. The match is expected to be exciting and tightly contested demonstrating the unpredictable nature of the sport and the significant role bowlers play in determining the result.

I would still say that Mumbai Indians got a very good score. Probably not the best that they could have done but certainly very much defendable. But LSG is doing a good job of keeping up with the required run rate. They have scored 68/2 in 8 overs. Marcus Stoinis is really playing well with an almost 200 strike rate. If he can keep going like this I do not think LSG will face too many problems going to the target. Green and Madhwal have been economical for Mumbai Indians so far.

The performance of Mumbai bowlers today is much better than the previous matches. Akash Madhwal is bowling very well. In 2 overs he picked up three important wickets for just 3 runs. Lucknow collected only 75 runs in 10 overs. The important thing is that they lost 5 wickets. Now the match is completely under Mumbai's control. But now Marcus Stoinis and Deepak Hooda are batting. These two batsmen are very experienced. And so Mumbai still has to bowl controlled. If these two batsmen are set at the crease, it will be difficult for Mumbai to win.

[Litzki1990]

Mumbai Indians victory is only a matter of time. This seems to be the case with the current performance of the game. So far LSG mustered only 92 runs after 12.3 overs where they lost 7 valuable wickets. LSG stayed in the match till the 10th over but in the tenth over Akash Madhwal lost two valuable wickets in two consecutive balls while LSG lost the crucial wickets of Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran. Still there was a chance for LSG to win the match but when Marcus Stoinis was run out in the next over, LSG's dream of winning ended completely. At the moment Mumbai Indians are in the driving position of the match.

Most of the peoples were concern about Mumbai bowling but things completely under their control with after 12 over 90 runs and 6 outs mean now we have second qualifier between GT vs MI which could be good encounter.
Today we have good batting and bowing from Mumbai specially their bowlers which are no experienced done good job and not allowed LSG aggressive batting to have anything from here just Stoinis done some resistance but after his run-out now Mumbai can feel safe.

Today we have no big score from any Mumbai batsmen but still all were in good touch which helps their team for having target like 182 Naveen-ul-Haq's four wickets in vain with Mumbai excellent all-rounder performance.

So 182 turned out to be a winning score. Now it's just formality and Mumbai will go ahead and face the Gujrat in the knockout. Kudos to Mumbai's bowler, they clicked tonight when it matter most.

So which match up we should expect? CSK vs GT or CSK vs MI finals? The latter fixture would be an epic contest from every point of view (old rivalry, blockbuster numbers from the broadcaster's POV).

-----------
Well done Akash Madhwal! 3.3 overs, 5 runs and 5 wickets.

Special mention to Agent Hooda for 2 run outs.

LSG team was defeated by a huge margin of 81 runs. For me, it was a completely unexpected result. Don't expect such a bad performance from LSG's batsmen. Because several T20 specialist batsmen were in LSG's squad. We haven't seen a good performance from Mumbai's bowlers this season either. But the scenario of today's match was completely different. Akash Madhabala bowled 3.3 overs and picked up 5 wickets and conceded just 5 runs. I would say Akash is the main hero of Mumbai's win today. It was Akash's brilliant bowling that helped Mumbai beat LSG so easily.

What a match it is. how LSG lost to MI by 81 runs. such a result was not expected at all. LSG have been considered a good team in IPL but they lost all their wickets for 101 runs and lost to Mi by a huge margin on this match. I was really disappointed by this match. many of me here supported LSG and bet for him but in all cases LSG surprised everyone today.

I think this season we will see Mumbai vs Chennai final. The way Mumbai have performed in their last two matches is truly commendable. They won both the matches by performing well. The performance of their bowlers was somewhat poor. And the bowlers proved their mettle in today's match. I expect Mumbai to win against Gujarat Titan in the next match. Mumbai won the last match against Gujarat by 27 runs. A huge target of 219 runs was given by the Mumbai batsmen. I hope they will not disappoint us in the next match.

[Bitcoin_people]

Congratulations to Mumbai Indians they played a great game today. Mumbai Indians won by 81 runs in today's match with a huge win LSG from near it . LSG did not perform very well in the match due to which they lost by many runs. And by winning today's match, Mumbai Indians are confirmed in the final match. Chennai Super King and Mumbai Indians both played great and they are confirmed in the final. Both the teams are very strong for the final match so it cannot be said which team will win the cup in the final match. The match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings is sure to be a tough fight.

Akash Madhwal is the find of the season for Mumbai Indians and another wonderful spell of bowling in a crucial match and Mumbai Indians are back in form as usual like the other seasons during the final stages of the IPL and it looks like we will be seeing another final between Mumbai and Chennai and Chennai lifting another trophy  .

Mumbai Indians are yet to get to the finals, there is another play off match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians and the winner will face Chennai Super Kings in the final.

It looked like Mumbai Indians were down the points table, but they were winning matches from the beginning. Its like they lost matches on every two matches win and in the final matches they were dominating with continuous wins. Though the performance from Rohit Sharma is not to the expectation, the team players were making a good support for the team to reach this level. Even at this situation Rohit Sharma have scored 250+ runs in this season of IPL. If Mumbai Indians wins the qualifier 2, then surely this trophy goes to them. I'm not sure how could Chennai make it.

[Litzki1990]

The entire team was defeated by this one bowler Akash Madhwal. His performance is among the best in IPL history. None of the five wicket takers in the IPL so far have bowled at such a low economic rate. If I show his complete bowling figure then the bowling figure would be like this,
O        M         R          W        ER

3.3      0        5          5         1.4

earlier some have taken say 6 wickets and they are slightly higher in the list of highest wicket takers but they have not been able to bowl as much economy as Akash Madhwal has done. Congratulations Mumbai Indians and thanks to Akash Madhwal for giving us such a beautiful innings.

There is no certainty what will happen in the IPL tournament in this session. It is also possible that Gujarat Titans can fight back to become champions after losing Qualifier 1 from the top of the points table. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians already win the Eliminator match ‍against Lucknow Super Giants they also get the chance and if not then Chennai will take the place The point is that no team can afford to feel less stronger anymore. All these three teams have won the IPL. Especially Chennai Super Kings is the top winner while last time champions Gujarat Titans is also suitable for victory.

Mumbai Indians performed really well. When at first I saw that the target was only 183 I did not believe that Mumbai Indians would be able to successfully defend that. I thought that target was good but not probably good enough, as in this season's IPL we had a lot of big scores being chased down.

But Mumbai Indians proved me wrong. They have successfully defended the target. And they have also done that with style. 81 is a big margin. Even though they did not score very big they had certainly won with a big margin. Is it the biggest so far in this season's IPL by the way?

Importantly LSG was the only team to win its last three league matches. The win margins were low, however the team should've got the winning form. Throughout this season's IPL we were able to watch good number of matches having big targets placed and the targets easily chased. Also LSG is the highest scorer of the 2023 IPL. It had also chased 212 runs against RCB in the last ball and recorded a win by a wicket.

Yes, but form doesn't always seem to exist in cricket. Moreover, if the condition of the team is good at one time, that is not get by another time. Maintaining consistency is a big challenge for cricket, especially for franchise leagues. LSG at one time looked like they were very good performers and would be champions and Mumbai Indians looked like they might not make the playoffs. But everything changed. The beginning was good but the ending didn't do well.

Consistency is all that matters. As said LSG and GT looked very consistent in their performance. Both the teams missed at the right time. It was Mumbai Indians that was down at some point, but it retained its consistency. The unluckiest is the RCB, that was supposed to be the team on the fourth place. It was Shubman Gill that crashed the dream of the RCB. Even with ODI matches it is possible to make better prediction, but the same doesn't work with T20. Single over could change entire scenario of the match. In the qualifier 1 similar situation happened, if Rashid Khan's wicket hadn't fallen the match could've been won by Gujarat Titans for sure.

Akash Madhwal having day of his life as his performance give his team place into qualifier 2 which is surely great achievement now after today's performance I am surely they will win against Gujrat, and we will have one of the best final in this season with most chances Dhoni is going to retire from IPL, and he will try to end his career on high note after having early place into grand final.

But, this all is just prediction which is not going to fill until we have next game on ground between Gujrat vs Mumbai now both are having equal chance and on match day performance could be vital for any team but after watching today Mumbai now I am going to support them for the final spot to bat and bowl both are doing good now just need some good performance from top order.
